Balt was | with shock and sadness
that’
learned of the unexpected death
of Gordon Lindsay Little at his
home on Cedar Crescent. He
‘passed ‘away peacefully in his
sleep May 30. ;
. Gordon was the younger son
of Terrace founders and
pioneers George and Clara
Little. Gordon was born in
Prince Rupert Jan. 22, 1921. He
was raised in Terrace and re-.
ceived his’ education in Kit-
sumgallum schools, where he
was always an excellent student.
He graduated from Kitsum-
gallum High in 1938.
His education in logging and
sawmilling began in his very
young years, and he retained a
' love for it all his life.
_ Following his marriage in
1941 to Julia Simpson, they
moved to Kwinitsa where

Gordon built and operated his

own sawmill for 10 years. Dur-
ing World War II he was an of-
ficial observer for the R.C.A.F.
and a member of the P.C.M.R.

After his return to Terrace, he
became involved in the logging

and operated the John Deere
‘dealership until 1967. During
this time he was an active
member of the Terrace Flying
Club. Gordon was also an active
and interested member of the
Kinsmen Club and the K40 since
1953,

Just months prior to his
death, Gordon realized two
lifelong dreams. One was a trip
to the Orient, which he took in
February of this year with long
time friend. Doc Calder. The
other was the purchase of his

Budget-cut
dilemma |
for CBC

The B.C. radio network of the —

- Canadian Broadcasting Corpor-
ation is still trying to determine

the extent to which it’s going to |
be damaged by this year’s feder- .

_al budget.
In an interview last week CBC
public affairs officer John Ly-

-Saght said the network “‘is exam-
ining all aspects’? of its opera-
tions, but no service or person-—

nel cuts have been made yet.

In the budget federal Finance
Minister Michael Wilson an-
nounced funding reductions to
CBC of $50 million over four
years. Lysaght said the ‘‘cumu-

lative impact”’ will be equivalent |

to $140 million. .

“Pierre Juneau (president of
the CBC) said he’s going to be
very surprised if we'll see the

same CBC four years from

now,’’ Lysaght said.

Last year the B.C. radio net- :

‘work underwent a major re-

structuring that resulted in a:

‘substantial reduction in the re-
‘sources of Prince Rupert’s
_CFPR, the CBC’s northwest

programming service.
When asked if CFPR might .
shrink further under this latest
‘round of budget cuts, Lysaght | .
replied, “At this point, noth- | ai
ing’s protected. ”
