Gisela Losch took over the. staffing in September fram Pat Dent who moved to Prince George with her family. We ,thank you, Gisela, for a job well done. Linda Karu has faithfully looked after the Courtesy Cart over the year and without her the cart would not have been taken up to the wards too often. ank you, Linda. THRIFT SHOP Again, our Thrift Shop has proved to be our main source of income with a net profit of $2,243.69. This year we were compelled to pay $1,025.77 for taxes on our -shop which hurt us con- siderably. We have ap- pealed to Council and at present no decision has been made as to whether we will receive a grant in lieu of taxes, This faJl an ex- periment was conducted in the shop — “Fill a large plastic bag for a $1.00 sale’’ . to clear old stock and it. roved extremely fruitful so 3s being continued, Thanks to our faithful workers at the shop — Florence Euver- man, Lena Bowlby, Helene McRae, Joy Adams, Carol Olson, Daphne Phillips, Helen Booth, Lola Ziobro, Pat Hallman: and their fellow workers without whom the shop would not be able to function.

JUNIOR VOLUNTEERS This active group was under the able management of Olga Power until November and has now been taken over by Shawn Sprocken. An annual con- vention was held in Prince Rupert this year and was well attended by the ‘Terrace group. HAIR CARE SERVICE . Two very active ped Yvonne Moen and Pat Palahicky, have provided a very worthwhile service to the hospital in hair care and it has been most ap- preciated by patients. HOSPITAL BOARD This year year has been very active for Judy with our present large expansion. Judy has served on the - construction and equipment committees and done an admirable job. She will be missed on the board for her hard work and cheerfulness. AWARDS Lorna Morton has been the convenor of this for another year and one $300 bursary was awarded to Donna Pratt, the only ap- plicant, as well as com- pleting the second half of a 1875 award to Lydia Elkew, Karen Kurisu and Terry Marleau. ANNUAL BAZAAR This was held in October under the able convenorship af Bobby Phillips. A profit of $1,087.12 was realized and the support given to us by the people of Terrace was very gratifying. WELL BABY CLINIC This service has been expanded to include the “Pour Year Old Parade” and our assistance at the clinic is greatly preciated. HIGHLIGHTS OF 1976 _ Speakers at our meetings have been Dorothy Cheyne, .! ~ our Regional represen- tative; Lyle Petch, Mental Health; Nora Langley, Public Health; Wayne Epp, Construction Chairman and Fannie Quackenbush, Acting D.O.N. Preparing for | cold mornings Cold mornings often mean frosted windshields. The problem is how to remove this ice condition. The ap- plication of hot water, robabl the most equently. used method of removing frost, is. definitely not recommended. Applied to a frosty windshield, hot water can crack the glass. Even if the windshield survives, the original problem remains, aS the surface will quickly glaze over again unless all moisture is removed. In addition, water will frequently cause the wind- shield wipers to freeze and ice up. Water is not the answer. . Another “don’t” when _ trying to remove windshield frost involves windshield wipers. Heavy frost is made up ofextremely abrasive ice crystals that can quickly destroy the rubber contact surfaces of wiper blades. .

Specific products are available at auto parts stores., Any insulation placed between the glass and the outside atmosphere will reduce or eliminate formation of frost on the glass. . It ig strongly recom- mended that the entire windshield area, plus rear and side windows, be ren- dered frost-free before even leaving the driveway on cold mornings. . Paging Service.

A New Year's Baby Duck was presented to Baby Flynn on behalf of the Auxiliary. To my executive — thank you for your help and en- couragement during the past two years and to our many members who spent hours in efforts that go unheralded, thank you.

Go wi John Hillaby, for instance, the writer-naturalist who travels on foot. In Journey Through Britain (914.2) he recounts happy wanderings ‘andencounters from Land’s End to northeast Scotland. A - few years later Hillaby bought a-new pair of boots and walked 1600 miles across Europe — the result ig another classic ‘in the literature of travel, A Walk Through Europe (914), Sir Francis Chichester's life was an adventure. At the age of 65 he sailed alone around the world and: his account of the struggles and triumphs of the journey makes Gypsy Moth Circles the World (910.41) one of the eat sea stories of all time.

In Because the Horn is There (910.45) he relates the epic story of the 19,000 mile voyage that he and his wife made from England to British Columbia.
