books, stationary, etc. Other
than that we will probably
just have to walt and see ex-

35 YEARS OF SERVICE

Local teachers to see China

TERRACE — School District 88
has been allotted $10,785 from
the Ministry of Education as

_ part of the Pacific Rim Teachers

-Study Program, and at the Jan.
12 board meeting trustees ap-
proved a recommendation by
Director of Instruction Harold
Cox that the money be used to

_ $end three local teachers on a

tour of China this year.

Two days after the meeting
Cox said he had confirmed three
reservations in an EduServ en-

' fichment program called ‘‘Edu-

cators Focus on Amazing

China’’. The 28-day midsummer
tour is specifically tailored to
allow teachers insight into
Chinese education theory and

- techniques, and it includes stops

in Beijing, Shanghai, Guang-
zhou, Nanjing, Xiamen, Hoh-
not, Kunming and Chengdu.
‘It's the most elaborate
itinerary I’ve ever seen,’' Cox
remarked. .

The board struck a selection
committee at the Jan. 12 meet-
ing consisting of trustees Kirsten
Chapman and Barbara Ross,
Terrace District Teachers’

Association President Helmut
Giesbrecht, and Superintendent
Frank Hamilton or his desig-

nate. The committee will estab- -

lish eligibility criteria and later
choose thrée teachers from
among the applicants.

Guidelines established by the |

ministry are that the teachers
must be Canadian citizens or
landed immigrants and have a
minimum of three years teaching
experience in B.C. The selected
teachers will probably be re-
quired to pay a portion of their

Employees back
CBC relocation

To the Editor;

We are employees of CBC
Radio. We’re directly affected
by planned changes to radio ser-
vices in the Northwest, changes
that we supporc. It appears the
CBC plans are misunderstood

_ by many.

‘A major concern seems to be
that the Northwest is losing its
morning show. That’s not the
case. The studio location will
change, but our commitment to

this region won’t.

Indeed, you will hear more in-
formation from areas east and

north of Prince George, but

you'll also continue to hear from
the areas we serve now.
Messages; public service an-
nouncements and the vital
weather information will be
broadcast as they are now.

There has been a concern ex-
pressed that fewer people can’t
properly cover the whole North.
In fact, the morning show will
have more people dedicated to it
than is now the case.

Another misconception is that
we’ll be losing our jobs. That’s

Thanks,
and the
winners.

not true. There will even be new
positions created.

Some people seem to feel that _
CBC will no longer be heard in
the Northwest. The transmitters
will remain in place, and CBC
programming will continue.

The announcers and reporters
here have always had a commit-
ment to ‘serve the Northwest.
That won’t change.

We have had input into these
planned changes, and we sup-
port them,

To the Editor;

Veritas School would like to
take this opportunity to recog-
nize and thank the business com-
munity of Terrace — an educa-

look. Recently, the enrichment
program students availed them-
Selves of this resource and had
opportunities to see the applica-
tion of learning in action.

In a special way, we thank the
following people for generously
welcoming our students: Sun-
dance Ski and Sports. (1981)
Ltd., Skeena Mall Manager
Mrs. G. Currie, Erwin Jewellers,
Workwear World, Terrace
Equipment Sales Ltd., and Con-
stable C, Andrew, R.C.M.P.

In an extremely professional
manner and through excellent
presentations, these business
people took time to explain their
specialty and respond to student
questions. This is an added in-
centive for our students to
achieve goals of high standard.
We appreciate these ‘‘en-
riching’’ experiences,
