FUNERAL
SERVICES

Funeral services were
held in Terrace for
a pioneer woman of the
north, Mrs. Jessie Finley,
on May 28th; who died in
New Westminster at the
age of 89, Interment was in
the. old Terrace cemetery
where her parents are
buried. ~ ;

Jessie Bruce was born in
Aird, Isle of Skye,
Scotland; and came to
Terrace in 1911, as a young
woman with her parents
and brother Angus, to join
brothers Donald and Alex
Bruce, who located on a
section of land four miles
out on the Kalum Road.

There she met and
married: Clarence H.
Finley from Nova Scotia.
They later moved to
Prince Rupert where they
made their permanent
home.

Mrs, Finley moved to

ears ago, and is survived
y a son John W.,, two
daughters, Mrs. K. (Elsie)
Green and Mrs, Pheme
Fraser all of New
Westminster, and a
brother Alexander Bruce
of Givsons, B.C,;
predeceased by her
usband and son Clarence
Bruce in November 1942,
and a son Lloyd in 1967.

Said York: “It would be
best if Cecil (Cecil Cosulich
is president of RivTow)
talked to me before he shot
his mouth off.” 4

“I've had no contact with
RivTow and frankly the,
whole situation is becoming
annoying.” .

Quadrant was issued with
apermit to transport freight
to outlying communities but
cannot deliver goods to
Prince Rupert from the
lower mainland, nor
transport goods from Prince
Rupert to Vancouver.

York has proposed to
truck freight ito Prince
Rupert and then put it on
barges instead of using
RivTow's system of barging
freight all the way from the
lower mainland.

He also has said he would’

-start the barge service
regardless of whether he is
allowed to drop goods in
Prince Rupert. However,
yesterday he conceded this
plan wasn’t feasible.

“To be viable we also need’
to carry freight destined for
Prince Rupert and we.need
freight from Prince Rupert:
to the lower mainland,” he
said. “A truck cannot be.
operated one way.”

A bureaucrat
who admits it

Vie Kowal recently appointed district manager of the
Canada Manpower job creation branchis not your run-of-
the-dole bureaucrat. .

He dislikes words like ‘“‘concretize” and “interface”
which fill the vocabularies of so many others in public
administration.

He rips up the mass-produced news releases sent to.
him from Ottawa for local use because he prefers to talk
to the press directly.

= And in “a. world: whete “pads” the” buck’ -is the’ norm, :|

Kowal bluntly states, I hate telling people it’s not my
-department.”

other refreshing thing about Kowal is that he admits
that he is a bureaucrat.

“Everybody that works for the government thinks that
they are the one person who is different,” Kowal
explains. ‘in fact, we are all bureaucrats.” -

While recognizing this fact, Kowal works hard to fight
bureaucratic tendencies such as jargon and unnecessary
referrals which can only alienate the public.

“T constantly remind my staff of what it is like (for a
member of the public) to walk into a government
office.”

Kowal is also not afraid to state the limitations of a
given program. His approach is straight from the hip.

There’s no mumbo-jumbo rhetoric about ‘‘long-term

It would be nice to provide long-term solutions, he
says, “but the whole design of job creation (programs) is
to have a short term effect.”

A reporter twitches nervously at such candor and
wonders if the statement was meant to be quoted.

But Kowal's face never flinches.

Vic Kowal means what he says and he is not the least
bit afraid to say what he means.
