Yellowhead
highway
the theme
of the meet

By ED YUDIN
Herald Staff Writer

The Yellowhead —Route to Resources; will be
the theme of the eleventh annual Yellowhead
Interprovincial Highway Association convention
dated to take place in Terrace on Nov. 2 and 3.

_ Over 10 representatives from municipalities
sretching from Winnipeg to Prince Rupert will
attend the proceedings in the Terrace Holel.The
convention takes on added signifigance this year
with new pressure being applied to both

wi provincial and.federal governments to fund the.

| a

highway. Pressure is especially being applied on
Ottawa, according to Tom Shandrow, the
association's executive director.

For many, many’ years we've been trying to
get the Ottawa fovernment to do for us up here
what they did for people to our south,” he said.
“They've financed the Trans Canada highway to
the tune of 58 per cent. We're putting pressure on
Ottawa that this is another national highway and
therefore deserves some kind of federal sup-

rt.’

While Shandrow says the Yellowhead is
“waiting for its first dollar" from Ottawa, the
highway is financed by the municipalities along
its route. Each municipality pays a share ac-
cording to its gross revenues.

Certain projects such as the upgrading of the
Terrace to Prince Rupert stretch requires
funding beyond the means of the association.

Terrace Mayor Dave Maroney is the im-
mediate past president of the association, and
gipports the drive for federal funding.

“Tt's someting we've been pressing for from
day one, to get the federal money pumped into
the Yellowhead Highway,’’Maroney says. “We
would be very happy if we got even 50 per cent.”’

The Yellowhead is the key east-west corridor
route in the north according to Maroney and
Shandrow. They see the development of the
highway as essential for the continued growth of
northern resource industries.

“We're very much concerned about getling the
Terrace to Prince Rupert stretch in shape as fast
as possible, particularly in light of the potential
of Prince Rupert as a deep ocean port and ter-
minus of the highway,” Shandrow explained.

Shandrow sees great possibilities far the future
of the highway especially in light of the role.
Highway 37 could play in linking the Yellowhead
with the Alaska highway. '

The provinces have been showing an interest
in the Yellowhead highway and last week the
four western transport ministers issued a
statement endorsing the concept of federal
funding. Prime Minister Joe Clark recently
indicated renewed federal interest in the
Yellowhead. .

“We're quite encouraged by the attitude of the
present government after years of trying,”"he
said."We know already that Transport Canada
has sent a task forceinto the west here, to gather
information on the needs of the Yellowhead.”

The convention ‘will concentrate on ways to
upgrade the highway. Additional safely features,
the possibility of widening the shoulders of the
road, adding more lanes oa the slopes, and
making provisions for more truck stops are some
of the ideas to be discussed. ,

The convention, which will attract many
municipal leaders is certain to be an asset for
Terrace. :

“This helps put Terrace on the map,”’ Maroney
commented.Most of the people caning have
probably never been to this part of the country.
Cerlainly a lot of the ones I know are really
looking forward to coming here.”

Maroney was a key factor in landing the

convention for Terrace. : She

TORONTO (CP) — Rudy
is a manof letters — perhaps
too many of them.

But because Rudy's family
name is a mite longer than
most surnames, he feels he is
being victimized.

Rudy Van Oldenbaraeveld

Telephone has refused to list
the name in its directory
unless the family pays an
extra fee.

‘It's ridiculous,” he says.
“It's almost like dis-
crimination.”

So far, Ma Bell has refused
to budge beyond Van Uld-
enbarneveld.

Rudy's family traces its
ancestory back to Dutch
nobleman Johan Olden-

barneveld, who World Book .
Encyclopedia describes as
“one of the great statesmen
of the age.”

The nobleman. because of
his liberal views, eventually
