The event go off to an
exciting start with a
welcome from Prince
Charles and Lady Diana.
Prince Charles gave one
of the most philo-
sophical speeches of his
recent tour saying that
we have a duty to our
children to try to develop
within them an inner
peace which reflects the
peace and harmony of
the universe.

He went on to say,
“We must start if we
can, to make living an
art itself.”” He then
declared the B.C.
Festival of the Arts
open. A few Terrace
residents were fortunate
enough to have an op-
portunity to shake hands
with the Royal couple.

public.

care. This year the club
will auction off sheep,
goats and steers, all be-

TERRACE — The
parents of the students
of Uplands Elementary
School voiced some con-
cerns recently over the
children crossing the
street at the corner of
Thomas and Halliwell in
Terrace.

“Lots of traffic, lots
of speeding by a lot of
careless motorists were
concerns of the
parents,"’ said Nancy

school.

Nelson has taken a
stand for the safety of
the students. Every
school day at 3 o'clock,
Nelson leaves her desk
and becomes a crosswalk

least 200 of the children
who attend the school
use this crosswalk.
