Although there were only fun prizes and no official winner, Happy Gang Centre President Gert Grundmann thinks
Happy Gang bowlers were the winners in a challenge carpet bowling match against the Independent Order of
Foresters recently. The matches are becoming annual events, and the Foresters have already challenged the Hap-
py Gang to the fourth annual match in 1989, Grundmann said eight Foresters and 16 Seniors turned out for the fun
evening of bowling. They started off with a potluck supper before the match.

Movement afoot to |
-“Mundialize” Terrace

_ In 1987, Terrace celebrated its
60th anniversary as an incorpor-
ated municipality and also be-
came a city. We reminisced
about our past, praised our pre-
sent well-being, and looked for-
ward to the future.

“iby Betty Barton ~~"

_ Now, here we are in 1988, and
perhaps it’s time to start think-
ing about that future and to cul-
tivate Terrace’s sense of itself as
part of a world community.

Mundialization could be the
answer — it is a wonderful, odd
word for an old new idea. It
comes from the Latin mundus

.— the world, earth, inhabitants
of the earth, humankind.

When a community mundial-

izes, it officially declares that it
is dedicated to the principles and
practice of international co-
operation, peace and world law.

Friends of Mundialization
spokesman Noel Reidy, a main-
tenance worker at CN and a
long-time. Terrace resident,
wants to form a committee of
local service clubs, church,
labor, women’s groups, business
people, schools and other in-
terested persons to share ideas
on the practical applications of
mundialization.

A meeting with this in mind
will be held on Jan. 28 at 7:30
p.m. in the Terrace Public
Library basement meeting
room. Everyone is welcome to
attend.

The next step in the process
would be to approach City Hall

Mundialization began in
Japan and independently in

France in 1949 as a response to-

the atomic horror of Hiroshima.
In 1966, Alan and Hanna New-
combe of Dundas, Ontario
brought the movement to Can-
ada. In 1967, Dundas became
the first mundialized community
in the Western Hemisphere.
Since then, more than twenty-
five Canadian municipalities

-have been mundialized.

ferent community groups to

Mundialization has
been endorsed by the United

Church, Prime Minister Brian ©

Mulroney, World Federalists of
Canada and: the Canadian
Baha’i High National Commit-
tee, among others. It is a non-
partisan concept.

Courtenay and Victoria are
two B.C, municipalities to have
mundialized already...and Ter-
race could be the next.

A tale of dragons

Nonesuch’s grandmother teaches him the ancient ways, but she
warns him that’ men are becoming more powerful in the world, and
dragons must adapt. Then she disappears. Nonesuch, priefstricken,

of a dragonfly a wind blows him into the chapel of a monastery
where he meets Theophilus, a monk who illuminates manuscripts.
Theophilus is so enchanted by Nonesuch’s beauty that he incor-
porates him into the pages of a manuscript. This manuscript
becomes Nonesuch’s hoard, his great treasure, and Don Kushner
tells the intricate and subtle story of how Nonesuch carries through
his task in “‘The Book Dragon” (Macmillan of Canada:$16.95).
Here be tales within tales, philosophy, history, adventure. It is a
story of greed, love, sacrifice of self for others and for a cause, the
manipulation and destruction of good for gain and a triumph of
compassion, the glimmer of hope. “‘A Book Dragon’’ is for the
thoughtful reader, it should appeal to the whole family.

A Simple and Direct Story

‘Ida and the Wool Smugglers’’, published by Groundwood at
$11.95, is set in pioneer days on the Gulf Islands. Ida and her family

‘raise sheep, and one of their main problems is the sheep smugglers

who steal from the flocks. On the way to a neighbor’s house young
Ida runs into her favorite ewe and her twin lambs, at the same time
she hears the smugglers signalling each other from the woods. She
knows she must get Tandy and the lambs to safety, but she has
never herded sheep before. Her courage and her imagination help
her to get them to safety. Sue Ann Alderson’s simple and direct

_ story of a young child’s courage and responsibility is illustrated by

Ann Blades in gentle misty watercolor.

Multitudinous Counting

Shirley Hughes tells the story of a day in the life of Lucy and Tom ©

which allows her to present all kinds of counting opportunities
woven neatly into text and picture. Parents and children sharing this,
delightful book together will find socks and toys, groceries. and bir-
thday candles, flowers and kisses, all to count. Other concepts like
balance, and shapes — the triangle caused by Tom’s car ramp and.
the ground — are all there to be discovered. As ever, Shirley
Hughes’ sensitively observed, down-to-earth children are a delight,.
their joyously untidy, lived-in, learned-in home a comment upon
values. The color is warm and bright, the detail copious, and often.
amusing. ‘‘Lucy and Tom’s 1 2 3”’ (Groundwood:$10.95) is another
very good title from a writer and illustrator who has won the
Eleanor Farjeon Award for her services to children’s literature.
