Editorial Comments ~ 0 Terrace and Kitimat residents who want to see the local hot springs remain open wil! have’ to act now. James Chabot, minister of lands, parks’ and housing, is demanding letters from people who want the hot springs reopened. The hot springs group has collected over 700 signatures on a- petition but Victoria says that anyone can.sign a petition and it doesn’t prove they are really ‘that concerned. Keeping this historical Jandmark open shovid - be-of-paramount concern to everyone.Since it -:: Was first.bullt.the resort has.been’a feature. .... it could eventually: become a local convention center simply by the - fact that It is.a hotel as well'as a “’bunk house” attraction to the area. for celebreties like the late Bing Crosby who used it during his fishing trips. The majority of residents only remember the — -hot springs that was allowed ‘to deteriorate to the point where It now seems more like a blight, on the local landscape. ‘Starting small and bullding from useable resources the hot springs — can become a center of attraction once ? again in the northwest. The volunteers are ready to move -on reclalming the resort but they. need your help. ‘Write today to James Ghabot, Minister of — Lands, Parks and Housing, Parliament ‘ Bulldings, Victoria, B. C.
