for Expo
tourists

Terrace residents plan-
ning to visit Expo need
not fear the potential
loss of their children on
the site. |

by Phillip Musselman

McDonald’s, in co-
operation with IBM and
CFUN Radio Station,
created a program to
prevent the loss of
children at the Expo site.

Adults who plan to see
Expo 86 may be
reassured that if they

take children along there’

is a program in operation
that will help to prevent
the loss of youngsters.

This program is based
on a type of name tag
concept except that it
uses paper wristbands.
Each band, put on a
child’s wrist, carries two
identical numbers on it.
One of these numbers is
detached and kept by the
parent for use if the child
is missing. The number
on the band corresponds
to the detached one so
that two identical
numbers can be traced
through an IBM com-
puter at what is called a
Guest Relations gate of-
fice.

Several of these offices
are on the site. So, if a
child is lost all he or she
must do is get to an of-
fice to give the number
to the clerk. Then when
the parent of the lost
child goes to one of these
offices’ both numbers
will be found and the
problem is solved.

If a parent does not go
to the Guest Relations
office the police will be
contacted for further in-
vestigations. Programs
like this one make the
Expo site a safer place to
visit.

Local
inn |
renovates

TERRACE — The Inn
of the West has added a
stainless steel dance floor
to its list of features.

by Philip Musselman

This is all a part of this
year’s list’ of renova-
tions, said Bob Bauer,
Inn of the West
spokesman. Along with
the new floor, the Inn
added some dance floor
lights. One unit costs
about $5000, said Bauer.

A fog machine and
some new carpeting were
also added.

According to Bauer,
the recent addition of all
this equipment makes

for a better atmosphere,

of course, but it is also a
part of pride in the
establishment.

In May, business has
been normal but Inn
representatives expect a
booming summer, Bauer
said. This fall the Inn
plans an extensive
renovation in the lobby
area along with outside
work that will help pro-
vide the public with a
better place to dance.

Pine

The oldest known liv-
ing tree in the world is
bristlecone pine that is
estimated to be about
4,600 years old.

Pitch in - buy a litter basket

TERRACE — Local and
area residents are being
asked to “‘Pitch in’’.

A revamped clean-up
campaign
launched in the District
under the auspices of an
ad-hoc committee to
Council. The group’s
first priority has been to
establish new litter con-
tainers for areas deemed
to be hardest hit by litter.
As a result, and with the
help of a District of Ter-
race grant, several litter
baskets have been
ordered and will arrive
shortly. |

The Terrace business
community has been ask-
ed to lend its support to

the campaign through.

purchasing a basket at
$200. The purchase pro-
vides for the cost of the
basket, its installation
and a plaque which will
bear the sponsors name.
To date several
businesses have sup-
ported the program and
the committee is hopeful
more will join in.

The committee is also

planning an education |

program for area
schools. The program,

is being

still in its planning
stages, would provide in-
centives for students to
participate in the clean-

up campaign.
During the summer
months, three in-

dividuals will be hired
through Terrace and

District Community Ser-
vices. The trio will col-

‘ect litter daily, par-

ticularly: in the down
town area.

The committee’s am-
bition is to see all Ter-
race residents actively
participate inthe. cam-

paign simply by “‘pitch-
ing in’. A clear objective -
of the group is to see
positive benefits-of a
clean-up program con-
tinue year round and will
be establishing new in-
itiatives as the summer
draws nearer.

Plant sale successful

TERRACE — On Satur-

day, May 10, the Skeena
Valley Fairs Association
held its annual plant sale
in the parking lot beside
the Gulf Station.

by Philip Musselman

According to Thora
Arnold-Smith, the sale
was a success but it
wasn’t quite as good as
last year’s sale. Perhaps
the weather was to
blame, but still the event
was far from being un-
satisfactory, said
Arnold-Smith. This year
all members participated

‘and there was a steady
stream of plant watchers”

available.
Although she admitted

‘year’s,

that the plant variety was
not quite as large as last
there were
enough plants to choose
from, with the money
going towards some of
the association’s pro-
jects. This year Skeena
Valley Fairs represen-
tatives are working on a
poultry barn. Members

also participated in the.
Fun Fair which was held
at: the Thornhill Com-
munity Grounds May 11.
Each of these projects
is sure to be helpful to
the community and the
Skeena Valley Fairs
Assocation is grateful.to
all who were involved,
Arnold-Smith said.
