in

along

and
as
everyone

There
can
be
no
talk
about

Anyone
who
says
so
does
not

he
is
talking

And
as

as
overgrazing
is

Mr

said
it

He
explained
that

complained
Wednesday
that
the

Is
claiming
all
the
credit
for

The

Is

Expo

Even

lacks

comes
from
the

Instead
of
honoring

Says

Ginter
Citizen
wire
service
Wednesday
The
Victoria
story
said
Mr
Ginter
had
not
been
chosen
be
because
�
cause
he
was
a
rebel
and
that
his
feeling
about
the
directorate
were
they
are
a
friendly
little
group
thats
already
picked
out
Today
Mr
Ginter
denied
that
he
has
ever
wanted
to
be
a
di
director
�
rector
of
the
bank
As
a
matter
of
fact
I
am
not
even

Ginter
Construction
Co
is
but
not
me
personally
he
said
In
the
first
place
I
have
enough
to
do
as
it
is
and
secondly
I
am
too
far
away
up
in
Prince
George
The
story
was
a
lot
of
nonsense
How
does
he
feel
about
the
directorate
There
are
many
good
men
on
the
board
They
have
to
be
be
because
�
cause
there
is
going
to
be
a
lot
of
work
ahead
There
will
be
many
meetings
which
will
achieve
little
in
the
beginning
but
they
must
be
held
nevertheless
He
supports
the
idea
of
the
bank
wholeheartedly
and
hopes
it
will
be
successful
But
he
does
not
think
Prince
George
will
have
a
branch
office
soon
I
think
it
may
take
two
to
three
years
before
we
will
have
one
here
Resources
Minister

Ray
Williston
said
earlier
this

Prince
George
definitely
will
have
a
branch
of
office

fice
as
it
is
the
fastest

in

Today
Mr
Williston
said
he
will
have
a
better
Idea
astowhen
branches
are
going
to
be
estab
establish

lish
-U
after
the
next

mfeting
All
we
can
do
now
is
star
stargazing
�
gazing
He
still
feels
Prince
George
will
be
one
of
the
key
points
for
the
bank
as
it
will
serve
all
of
northern
BC
It
is
essential
for
a
bank
to
have
people
participate
and
branch
offices
are
one
of
the
first
steps
to
achieve
this
