{ ; q Page 6D _ Wednesday, October 5.1 __,TERRACE: SOMINECA” HERALD, TERRACE, BRITISH COLUMBIA letters to the editor... The Editor, Terrace Herald: Ever tried to obtain a meeting space in the Terrace Community Centre for a non-profit community organization? You'll find, as did the: Terrace Arena Association, that you are required to pay a rental fee, To my way of thinking, this is one of the most demented, anti-com- munity philosophies ever advanc- ed. Here we have a Community Centre, and supposedly community minded administrative body who Somehow feel that they should further discourage the advance- ment of community projects by charging them for use of the community hall. What else is the hall for, if it’s not to be used by groups Iinterest- ed in bettering the community? The charge is not high but the principle of the whole thing is absolutely ridiculous. I realize that the Community Centre. has had, and continues to have, it?s financial difficulties. In the days when the old Civie Centre Assoclation, with no assist- ance from the taxpayers, was struggling to make ends meet — a charge was perhaps justified. However, with the finances now the responsibility of the Munici- ' pal taxpayers, one would certainly think that use of the hall by these interested in bettering the com- munity, would be encouraged — not discouraged by a charge for use, Tf the Municipality couldn't af- ford to take over the Community Centre on this basis, they should- n't have done it in the first place, R. B. GALE, CA. VI 3.2245 P.O, Box 220 @ D, L. G. PORTER CA. MacPherson Block © VANCOUVER - SMITHERS - EDMONTON - PRINCE RUPERT Does the cofimunity own’ it or not? And if they do, the Community Centre should live.up to it’s name by becoming a (free) focal paint of communily ‘ activities, sports events AND meetings by non-pro- fit. community organizations. This community cannot afford an arena. The ‘Arena Association is trying to raise money for con- struction of such a building which they hope to give to the Municipa-| # lity as an OUTRIGHT gift. How the Municipality or the admini- strative body of the Community have the gall to charge for use of a room for the Arena Associa- tion annual meeting, completely, escapes me, Many community minded citi- zens have donated towards the arena. This money is being held. in trust and can only be used for eventual arena construction, But even if it could be used, ’'m sure those who donated it would frown on doling it out to the very com- munity which they were trying to help. In any case, we'll probably be able to scrape up the $7.00 some- where and the annual general meeting of the Terrace Arena Association will be held in Ter- race's Community Centre at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 25th. ~ Most of our smaller meetings are held in rooms provided free, by the town's commercial hotels.
