The affairs orKeiotihay _iou^d*ry 'have continued ta flotirish through 1952 and into 1953 in historic manner. And when it is considered that much of the tremendous activity pf the past year has been mere preparation for productiori-^n-vtkiai: itill our produc-. tion has been equal to previous records —then prospects for the future of this 30,000-square-mile area and for its 90,000 people—and the thousands more yet to come—can be seen in their full brightness.^ Capital investment by the millions of dollars is going Into every part of this Southeastern corner of British Columbia, laying, foundations few continued industrial and business progress, Newness is one of the outstanding features of this transition to a more completely industrial life.

Production of its forests in 1952 was $25 millions; from' 'its mines, $100.5 million ta'lead-__o alone, $9.9 millions from coal and $6.3 ! millions in silver. Tourist trade was e, $15.million business catering to 900,000 ■ visitors.

That it will be vast we do not doubt. But the very uncertainty as to its extent demands that' as much vision as' possible be brought into play.

And.there must be an acceptance more widely that economic and industrial-advances are not of sole importance. Actually, they are meaningless .unless we foster progress and facilities culturally and spiritually. We have done much pioneering, and much is. still ahead, but some of the same fee-'.. mendpus energies that havetbuilt pay-' rolls and trade, industries and businesses, must also bf devoted to providing foundations for rounding out our growth, and making it full. , The last year,' perhaps more than any in the past, has seen great surges ahead in the arts, music, drama, painting, handcrafts—in fact, in practically every.field—and that, along witit-the' KootenayTBoundary^s-cMtoutag eco^ nomic growth, has been taeeedingly heartening to those with- vision.

Ottawa The Esquimaux in the Northern'territories of Canada have certainly not risen in revolt, but a word of criticism concerning the possible '"paternalistic" policies of the Federal Government is to be found editorially expressed by.'; L'Bvenement-Jouhiil of, Quebec City. Apparently Canadian social security, measures as practised by.the Ottawa,Government hive Worked to the detriment of these children of the snows. Thi piper; writes;'**, "The Esquimaux! have profited from tho generosity of the state to modify their'way of . life. They have almost completely given up fishing li a living, tq live in the manner, of tht white people, fa miserable huts provisionally replacing the igloo of their ancestors! But this effort at adaptation has - been- fatal - to thlfn. They are decimated by tuberculosis. In i very pessimistic report on their condition, in American correspondent hat reckoned the . number of yean- of survival for a tripe whose children mostly die before they reach adulthood. These data are being used at Ottawa to put pressure on the Federal Government to - establish health.insurance, so as, to remedy a situation which is not precarious everywhere. Admitting, that thi Esquimaux demand special attention,, we.cannot blame thi Federal Government for hesitating to retort to paternalism to supplement the notorious insufficiency of hospitalization surveys."

'..'.■■ What wonders a little makup wrought! Keefe no longer looked like the brash, and handsome juvenile, His hair was slicked down and. combed to the side. His eyes were, darker' by means of contact lenses'-and the'eyebrows were more pronounced. The Cantor scar was Simulated on his forehead. ; He was a ringer for the banjo- eyed comic, even to a pair of outstanding ears.' This was done by pulling'the ears slightly, forward. He can also pop and roll his eyes. "The' eye-rolling wasn't easy to learn," said Keefe,. who Is playing the lead in "The Eddie Cantor Story." | Asked if ha were concerned over being permanently Identified Eddie Cantor, he said: "Not. at all, and Til tell you why. When I was chosen for this part, only one, person ln Hollywood thought I could do the role: the producer, Sid Skolsky, Everybody else thought he was crazy to pick me. Now if nobody else thought I could play Canter, it shouldn't be hard for me to go back to being Keefe Brasselle. ' "This makeup helps, too. I look like Cantor in this picture. So when I play*future roles, Til. took like myself." . In this regard, he may have an advantage over Larry Parks; The latter played Jolson without attempting to imitate the mommy singer's physical ' characteristics. Thus his own. face and personality were closely identified with Jolson In the public mind. Parks has not yet .been able to shake that identification.

Farm Industry Important To Windermere By WINNIFRID WIIR j Although ths Windermere Dli* trict is thought of often no primarily in irei of, mining, lumbering ind tourist resort industries, agriculture hos an ever increasing Importance ln the economy of the valley. : I in the opinion of K. M. Mirplei, president of the Windermere District Turners' Institute for the past 17 years (except one year), the district hss i great agricultural future, dependent largely upon the ivalf- abllity of witer. Mr. Marplei says, "The agricultural development has scarcely begun rod we miy not see it in our lifetime but there ire thousands of acres of arable lind and an abundance of water. It just needs the means ot getting the water to the lind." The possibilities of extended market gardening to supply the numerous tourist resorts ln the valley ire well worth investigation. A modern dairy should merit consideration. Experiment! now being made with different varieties of grass seeds ind seed pen ire proving highly successful md beef cattle growing has been expanding for a number of years. The increase in the beef cattle industry has been attributed largely to the bull-control irei which his been in force for about eight years. Quality of the cattlo hos Improved tremendously ind there is also ■ remarkable incrcoso In quotity. t cam or spud* Windermere District potatoes hive long hid i notable reputation. In 1(52 about eight corloads of potatoes wero .shipped from the district md potato growing if a well established type ot farming In the area, Borne farmers deal almost exclusively in seed potatoes with a USA market. ' O EdgJwafer is particularly a farming community and mixed farming is more popular in this port of the district than in the likes'ares. The Dutch Creek area has opened up in recent years and it Is probable thai it will prove one of thi best farming areas in the valley. Small fruit farming. 1b of rising importance. Edgewater his, produced strawberries and raspberries of superior quality for years and one 'of the large berry farmers^ bought a large tract at Windermere which is now producing.* Water, or lack' of it ln the right places, .may have held the valley back agriculturally until now, but investigation of* hydro possibilities and other ideas such as draining the Columbia Valley sloughs and damming Valley rivers all bear promise of increased fertility. , leaders in the Industrial life of Koptenay For Over Half a Century 1898-1953 ,0 Their Products Art Gaining In Popularity Every Day McDonald's Ginger Ale SOFT DRINKS, MIXERS, CONFECTIONERY TOBACCO'S , '■."■ Mac's Brand Cello Pack Vegetables and Fruit Ask Your Dealer for These Quality Products: McDonald's nelson brand jam JAMS — JELLIES l§ MARMALADES Tk«ft arc the markat'i bMt ■o O - ' . . ..' 1 .'
