Photograph of girl with lemon. Kitimat may not be the banana belt but it might qualify as the citrus fruit belt of British Columbia. Three year old Sharon Anne Strecheniuk posed with a monster lemon that has been ripening on a lemon tree in her home for the past eight months. The plant is two years old and has not borne fruit before. Sharon holds a normal lemon to show size of the big fellow.

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.
