penings and other interesting .
things in our community. Once

in a recipe for good measure.

‘Though my vision — with

the help of glasses — is 20/20

and my hearing is in good -

-what’s happening everywhere in

and around Terrace and Thorn-
hill. This is where you, the

ticipate. If there is something
you would like to see in this
column, please phone me and
let me know at 635-2723. Bits

A while back, Barb (Good-
win) Beatty and her husband -
returned to Terrace for the
wedding of her son Randy to

Lucy Smallwood, This visit _
- also gave Barb the opportunity

to visit old friends. From 1968
to 1973, Barb worked at the
Co-op. So the old Co-op gang
from that time took Barb to
lunch at the Inn of the West to
catch up on all the news and
‘rehash old times. Almost all
.had a favorite Co-op story
from those days. Getting
together were Mary Doell,
Gladys Keeping, Leonie
Duplessis, Irene Kuemper, Jan
MacKinnon, Mickey Dycha-
kowski, Rene Wells and the

’ guest of honor, Barb Beatty.

While in Terrace the Beatty’s
were staying with their friends
Dick and Edith Martin.

. Visiting Terrace for the past
while have been Mrs. Clara
(Little) Foy and daughter Dot
Foy from North Carolina, —
U.S.A. They were visiting with
sister Edith Kawinsky and
brother Gordon Little, -

On Thursday afternoon dur-

- ing the Old Timers’ weekly cof-

fee hour at the Inn of the .
West, many. friends gathered to
say hello and reminisce. The
guest of honor, however, was
delayed a little, as she was en-
joying the sights from the top
of Thornhill‘Mountain,

Clara Little grew up and
went to school in Terrace. She.

B. C. Telis warning local busi-

nesses to beware of a fraud

scheme that is trying to sell

- Yellow Page advertising.
. The scam is being operated

out of Washington state, and its
representatives offer what they
Claim is Yellow Page ads for

about half the going price. The

ads never materialize in the fa-
mous directory. The approach
‘may be made by telephone, mail
or even through conventions
and trade fairs.
