Notes
Dr. David Turner, center, Deputy Minister for Recreation and Conservatation, chats with Rose Jensen and John Gray in the British Columbia Booth at the British Columbia International Trade Fair. The Labatt Booth was donated to six British Columbia Tourist Regions and is one of the major attractions at the British Columbia International Trade Fair. Vancouver people are showing by their enthusiastic response to this Exhibit that there is plenty of lower mainland interest in all of British Columbia's tourist areas and attractions. Rose and John, as representatives of Northwest British Columbia, have been kept busy answering the questions that hundreds of lower mainland people have asked about Northwest British Columbia. Their combined effort to sell tourists attractions in the area caught the official eye of Dr. Turner after the opening ceremonies of the British Columbia International Trade Fair on Thursday afternoon.

From the years 1953-1958, Mike Kinnear took photos during his school years, until graduation, while working for Fred Ryan Ltd. after school and holidays. Photos for him was a hobby, and he took many photos of the smelter and townsite as it grew around him. Mike also took a number of photos for the Kitimat Northern Sentinel, during the Ken Brumley and Pixie Meldrum years as editors. Mike and his family left Kitimat in 1958, but he spent the best part of 40 years in the photographic field, mainly in the retail/wholesale part of the photo industry.
