His friends burst into laughter as the glass shattered on the sidewalk leaving jagged slivers on the edge of e curb. Most fast food outlets grow a progressive tumour of garbage as the evening wears on. The: wrappers, boxes, foil, plastic cutlery, soggy chips and brittle chicken bones would never be allowed tocontinue such litter in any community which took pride in its appearance. The sidewalks for several sections of the south side of Greig Ave. have been buried under dirty snow, gravel and “garbage” for weeks and weeks, with no sign of a clean up at hand. Meanwhile the Chamber of Commerce has added to its 1978 list of Chamber Objectives a “Civic Pride Program”. Chamber president Mike Tindall has explained this to include “Getting out the vote” during elections and a City clean-up program. Some observers have claimed, from time to time that those who make the loudest noises against industrial pollution are often the worst offenders in their private life. The woman who maintains a spotless home may keep dogs and cats that. do irreparable damage to others gardens and lawns and transmit parasitic diseases to the neighbours children. And so on. Perhaps, before we raise our voices in protest we ought to examine our own lifestyles more closely. Remember, it was barely a century ago, when the automobile was invented, that protestors successfully forced a law into being which prohibited any automobile to travel on a highway unless a man went ahead of it carrying a red flag. Other lawsults tried to stop railways being built, insisting steam trains would frighten - farm animals, causing chickens to stop laying, filk cows to decline in productivity, and cattle to. ‘pa * "What would we be today had those protestors succeeded!

In the report, Dixon said the internal investigation had decided ‘no member (of the force) contributed to the deeth” of Herney.

Let's take a look at his education: Firat, he took a draughtaman's course at Vancouver Vocational School, back in 1980. Then he apparently became in- with the world of mérine blology, and took a B.Sc. in Fisheries Biology at Humboldt State College, Arcata. California, elever years later. Apparently fascinated with the field of marine bialogical science, Harry putin two more years of university — this time at California State, and earned his Masters in Science in Fisheries Biology. graduating in 1973. During summer vacations, while at university, and in his spare time Blodgett did evaluation of artificlal reeafs:as-habitat for marine fishes in estuaries, studied effects of lugging practices on freah- water dts populations in California, and did related studies in fishing research (commercial) in that State. Tn 1972 he engaged in commercial fishing there and in Oregon; in 1973 he fished for himeeclf, (com- in.

Summing up the situation in his own words, this Master of Science in Fisheries Biology puts it this way: “My wife and I moved here in 1975, and although I have had miscellaneous jobs, my career as a biologist has: been zero in Terrace.

I have included information about my draiting background also, having found that some degresof drawing ability has been an asset In nearly every job I have held.” - Blodgett lists among his activities: “Certified scuba ~~ diver, completed a slx month course in photography, ten day desert survival course, auto mechanics, welding, C.0.R.E., andmemberof the Canadian Ski Patrol System, - He is a member of the Canadian Society of.

Ali think they could make good use of this building and] have to agree. The request from the Day Care Centre is a valid one. The children are in a building which has to be vacated as Soon as ' possible, Government regulations decree that a day care ‘eentre has to have eo many square feet per child and adequate bathrooms (they aln’t kidding! } The building has to be safe from fire and have suitable exits. And mos! important. ofall, che rent has tu be cheap,.as most day care cenires run at a deficit. I wonder, with all the hassle getting money to rune centre, if asmaller family typeunlt would be more practical, Thehome would be sponsored by parent and government and would have a maximum of four(?) children. Of course I can see all kinds of problems with this kind of arrangement but _ thinking of the children, it would be so much nicer If the- children could spend thelr day houra in a family atmosphere = - as { am atraid, no matter how well run a centre is, the children can become a ‘number!’ , The desire to set up a drop-in centre for teenagers is more than valid, For the non-athletic student, there ia Pete's, or is {t.

Of course it isn’t impossible that all three groups will lose out. We were able to build an arena with public donation ~~ perhaps this is the answer.
