Along with the other ten members
Mr. Chet-

of the new government,

Governor Clarence Wallace at a cer-
emony in Government House, Vic-
loria, on Friday evening.

Mr. Chetwynd’s appointment to
the cabinet was no surprise to mosL
of his constituents. Since it became}
apparent that the Social Credit party |
would invall probability be asked to)
form the government, his name has;
been rumored for this selection. Tt
was thought, however, that he would
be offered the agriculture portfolio. |

As Minister of Railways, Mr.!
Chetwynd will be ina position to add
the weight of his office to. his ex-/
pressed intention during the recent |

ign to see that the Pacific!

Sthe province have worked out an
Agreement to establish definite sules

When the two men, Henry (Hank)
and John Neufeldt, decided to. move

,from Wells to Williams Lake last

year, they decided to bring a part
of that mining town with them —-
and that’s just what they did.

The 65x40 garage building they
owned, in Wells was dismantled in,

The new garage will handle Ford

will] be set up immediately, with a
third pump for diesel fuel being in-
stalled later.

Hank Neufeldt first went to Wells
in 1936 and three years later built
his first garage, which is the build-
ing that was moved here. This was
elosed for several years during tle
war while Hank worked on defense
jobs at the coast. In 1945 he returned
to Wells with his brother, and they
purchased another garage, in the
meantime leasing the former garage!
to the Public Works. |

With John looking after the me-
chanical repair end and Hank ‘hand-
ling the body work, the two men
continued their successful business
until deciding last year to moye to
Williams Lake where opportunity of
expansion was greater. They leased
their garage property and held on

venture.

The idea of moving buildings has
been carried to their own homes as

In ‘good’ condition at War Mem-
orial Hospital, is Joachin Schoelzel.
millworker employed by the 150
Mile Planer Mill, who was seriously
injured last Wednesday when his

PowerGlides
Down Wells
in Play-offs

The ‘lake ‘Power Glides’ lived up
to their name over the weekend as

two straight.

Turning in a solid performance
on the mound, Gord Smetanuk gain-

the locals walked off the field with
7-0 victory sewn up. The first game
score indicated that. the visi

and this was borne out Sunday when
the visitors took an 18-8 shellackins.
Sunday’s second tilt, an exhibition
game, went the same way with the
‘lake shifling their line-up around
and taking a 9-6 win.

In Saturday's game the Power
Glides moved into an early lead with
Wells’ infield boggling accounting
for two runs and Frank Latin’s
double earning a third. The game
tightened up for the next three in-
nings with neither side able to seoze.

In the fifth frame Fred Brown
laced a torrid line drive over third
base that earned him the first home
run of the series and the locals add-
ed another before retiring. In the
bottom of the seventh Latin poled
one into left field and stretched a
three-bagger into a home run as the
Wells fielders overthrew home plate.
Up on second when Frank got his
hit, Brown also scored.

Wells had their lone chance of
scoring in the eighth when they
wound up with a man on third and

one out. The lad got a little over-
