              Photograph taken at the Kalamalka flag stop and siding that took up to 40 cars. A section house used to exist there, Davies notes. Virtually there was no public access in former days, so the siding was most likely used as a storage place for Kelowna fruit. A private speeder is found in the shadows on the main line.

              Photograph depicts Pioneer Sash and Door Company Ltd. Davies suggests that it may have been the same as S.C. Smith Ltd., which commenced operating in Vernon in 1883. In the early days, products were verandah posters, balusters, and fancy trim. Most products were sent to the U.S. Most of the fancy trim in early north Okanagan homes came from this plant. In 1972, its main output was cedar panelling for Florida.

              The original typescript for a (presumably confidential and secret) document listing the preparations for defensive manoeuvres in the event of war with Japan taking place in Northern British Columbia. This document describes a simulation of what events and defences could take place, including how to conduct river crossings; when in the war game, the author imagines what would happen should the Japanese invade Prince Rupert as a starting point for the invasion of Canada.

              An important document providing insight into the thinking of the Canadian military while preparing for the possibility of Japan extending its war into the North Pacific Theatre during World War II.
