Weekly Newspaper Advertising Bureau; 8.C. Division of the - Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association; and Audit Bureau of Circulation. We'll Have Good Times By and By! THIS NEWSPAPER is suffering growing pains at the moment and unfortunately many of our favorite readers, our favor- ite organizations, our invaluable news sources, our generally wonderful people in the Terrace area are also feeling a fair amount of discomfort because of it. It’s hard to explain what makes any weekly newspaper tick on a profitabfe basis. No editorial column is long enough and no ordinary editor has time enough to go into that much detail. Last week and the week before ond perhaps even the week before that we ran into a deadline snag. Have you ever tried to untie a pair of badly knotted shoe laces when your fingers were all thumbs? It is our hope that in the very near future we will once again be in a posi- tion to publish every bit of news editorial submitted to us in the same week in which it is received. It is also our hope that we will be able, before long, to give you two news- papers a week, rather than only one. But all this takes planning and a lot of adjustment. The planning is all but finished. Most of the hurdles ahead of us right now are adjustment hurdies. We should be over them before too long. We're confident our legs are long enough to clear every one of them. More staff hos been hired, both in the editorial and production ends of our Cocat” operation. This means that we will have more people working at the local news level. and that your story will have a much better chance of making our pages than it has in the past, Granted, in the past--we managed somehow to get your club news and socia! notes all neatly crammed into our little tabloid paper. A skelton crew often worked far into the night to accom- plish this, : We can no longer revert to an over- time operation in order to do this and thus we must increase our staff, speed uP our production, meet advanced dead- ines. In the process, some people are being hurt, temporarily. This is the last thing we want to have happen, and we ask that you be patient just ¢ short while longer. On Thursday afternoon we were ac- cused of giving at least one jhardworking local club “the run around'’’ because an advance publicity release hos not yet reached our readers even though it has been on the editorial desk for some time, Qur phones are ringing daily with people who have similar complaints. - We sympathize with you and we’ assure you — all will be well. To change deadlines and procedures that have been in effect for over 50 years is a task that requires more than simply one night and one day. Please, Mr. Postman... PRINCE RUPERT has hod it for many, many years and now Kitimat has it. What is it? Well it certainly isn’t a scourge of any description—it's house-to-house mail delivery. Once again Terrace has been left out in left field, and we're wondering just how much longer we'll remain that - way. Here we sit, smack in the middle of the industrial blanket of the Pacific Northwest where we are supposedly the main supply centre for most of the log- ging operations in the area, and we have a population bordering on 10,000. We're at least 45 years older.thari Kitimat, and that young upstart. ofa: fown has once gain beaten us to the gravy. The reason the Post Office Depart- ment shuns us is usually cited as one of economics. The department claims that house- to-house delivery here would be far too expensive a proposition because our homes are spaced too far apart. Tommyrot! in this mechanized age what is wrong with motor scooters or some similar mode of transportation? Costs would not be excessive and the service would far outweigh the expense of maintaining half a dozen scooters. We're getting a little tired of the same old saws doled out year after year by various government departmen ts when there are services required either in our community or in the district as a whole. A Post Office survey is due in June. Odds are the recommendations will be much the same as in the past, because very few of our wide open spaces have been swallowed, up.since.the last survey. ;, In fact, if house-to-house mail de- © livery continues to hiage on this silly bit of unreasoning we might as well settle down to a long wait. Our vacant property gaps are not going to disappear overnight. Please, Mr, Postman, Hudson's Bay Fort Will Rise Again During its last 10 CARLTON, Sask. (CP)-Fort | Rebellion. Tesearch and preparation of Carlton, the largest and one of the most important fur trade posts to operate between the Red River and the Rocky Mountains, is being partially reconstructed to celebrate Can- ada's Centennial. Fort Carlton, or Carlton House aé it was originally known, was built by the Hud- son’s Bay Company in 1810 and occupied by the company until 1885 when the fort was destroy- ed by fire during the Riel years the fort served as quar- ters for a Northwest Mounted Police detachment. Reconstruction, by the pro- vincial natural resources de- partment started this summer on the 22by-60-foot, 114-story HBC store.

Bastions al- ready have been placed at the four corners. The rebuilt fort is expected ‘to open next summer. The de- partment has improved roads and installed picnic and camp- ing facilities near the fort. Located on both the principal overland and water routes through the Prairies, the fort was the major supply depot for |. the fur trade regions of Sas- katchewan and Athabasca, The post was enlarged through merger with the North West Company in 1821 and research indicates there were five major rebuilding programs including a complete reconstruction 300 feet east of the original site. The fort is located about 60 miles north. of .

I wrote Mr. Little for his explanation on such bold statements and re- ceived this reply... Feb. 21, 1987 “You never get properly quoted in the papers when you speak on this subject so first of all I should explain -that when I spoke in favour of women barmaids I did this because [ have arcused the lady be wealthy enough to own her own bar she is allowed to serve liquor, and unless she ‘| owns the bar she cannot.'I have: pdinted out that this’ is’ - not’ only discrimination, but I feel the level of the conversation is kept on a higher plain when women are present rather than men, I was also quoted as speaking of being in favour of liquor on Sundays, but as far. as British Columbia is concerned I never even mentioned this subject. I did suggest however, that bars and restaurants be separated because I feel that if a person {wants a drink you should te able to have this in a bar rather than be forced fo eat in a restaurant, and I am sure that you will agree, when you wish to go to a restaurant for a meal that you resent having a wine list placed in front of you before you see the menu.” This’ explanation from Mr. Little puts him at least, in the better light because the em: phasis of his statement is dis- crimination rather than degen- eration. Could some correction be made to clarify the issue to others like myself, who want to respect the man we have representing ali the voters of Skeena. . Yours for barless maids, Mrs. P. V.

I teach school in a Jr, Sec. ondary and also take an active part in the minor hockey here. In the 1995-66 season at our arena, there wag a fire which prevented the boys from using the building for about one month. During this month the ceiling tiles at my school were punched out as well as the halls and washrooms abused. The boys were very restless, When the boys were able to use the arena again, our des. truction problems faded away, between the burned arena and the’ wilfu] damage to the school. Maybe .all I-am showing is that hockey players are the ones who. will damage schools. Would it not be better for the publie to pick up the. tab: for the. arena rather.than for the resuits of misused energy? : 7 Ted Thompson 7 ’ Quesnel, B.C, ‘ — menngpanennas MEMO = At CENTENNIAL, s the time of thelr union in. 1868 the ‘colony: ‘of British Columbia | ‘ was In. debt $1,002,989 and the colony of: ‘Vancouver Taland was Ho debt: $208,608, aa Government of discrimination‘ with women because, should a- to the EDITOR... The Editor, Terrace Herald: As proprietor of Skeena Driv- ing School since last June I would like to take this oppor- tunity of saying how pleased I am that I have found the driving public most courteous with my student drivers, who are oiten nervous. In teaching I have become very much aware of the im. portance of having driving taught in the.schools as part of a safety program. In this connection I visited Smithers last week, where a safely pro- gram is taught during the lunch period or In after-school hours | for these who want it. In speaking with the teacher, Mr. Billings, I found out that if. th parents of: the communtty @ tohave their young Beople raced in the school a request can be brought before the school board. The parents are financially responsible, how- ever they will find that insur- ance rates. are reduced for those passing the course. T have also discussed the mat- ter with the director of Motor Vehicles here who is in favour of the plan, It is therefore up to the par- ets to voice their opinion.- They can do so by sending a letter to the school board, writ- ing a letter to the paper or mailing one to me at Box 2072, Terrace, .
