Over the last 86 years the 香蕉视频直播 has served the Central Okanagan 香蕉视频直播 and over the last 86 years it has printed a whole lot of papers.

A conservative estimate puts it at about 8,000 editions.

The new Black Press Okanagan digital team, based right here in Kelowna, wanted to utilize this amazing treasure trove of our history and share it with you.

Each Thursday we will present Cap News Throwback Thursday for a fun little peak into the past, and a chance for the digital team to climb through the records room.

Today we present the Wednesday Jan. 8, 1936 edition of the 香蕉视频直播.

A haircut was a quarter, a pound of cheese was 23 cents, Owen Jones threw his hat in the ring to run for mayor and the Cap News top story involved a heated debate over whether or not the community would accept a Union Library.

香蕉视频直播淩esidents of the community are shortly to have the opportunity of saying whether or not they would like to see a Union Library established in the Okanagan, and following the recent demonstration here, there should be very little doubt in their minds as to whether they think one will be worth the approximate amount of $1.25 which such a service is expected to cost them.香蕉视频直播
