Photo showing Radley Park (Developed by Gyro Club);
Cleaning and grubbing of old logs and underbrush in Radley Park started this week with municipal crews in high gear to get the job done. Pictured above are two of the workmen snaking a log to one of the many assembly points for burning. The campfire park, located near the busy Service Centre area, has 20 odd campsites complete with barbecues and picnic tables; it is the pet project of the Gyro Club. The club recently presented the municipality a cheque for park improvement.

Photo showing Gyro Club member L/R Wm. Bill Pryde and Walter Crossan (Crossan Cartage Co. Ltd.) installing ovens in Radley Park. This park was a year round Gyro Project, keeping the B/Q Ovens in shape, cutting wood, looking after the wooden or concrete tables. Each Gryo/Gyrette was in charge of looking after one stall in Radley Park - where the tourists came.

James McNay was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, on January 31, 1907. Between 1951 and 1953, he worked in the payroll department for Alcan. He had to leave his wife Effie and his two young daughters, Margaret and Diane, aged 6 and 5 in 1951, at home in Surrey, B.C., during his 3-4 month stints in Kitimat. To fill some of his free time and show his family where he was and what Kitimat was like, he spent many hours walking in the area with a 35mm Kodak camera. He photographed the scenic beauty of the area and parts of the construction of both the smelters and the town. He died in Surrey on August 7, 1983.
