Kids to participate
in local fall fair

The Terrace Fall Fair
scheduled to go on September
fourth, will not be the first such
fair in Terrace, but is intended
to be the first annual fair,

Several such fairs have taken
place in Terrace over the past
few years, and have never
run more than four or five
consecutive years.

The Kitsumkalum Farmers
Institute, and the First Terrace
Womens Institute intend to
make the fall happening an
annual thing which will go on
year after year indefinately.

In this year’s fair, there is a
division specified for children’s
entries. This division contains a
number of things that a
youngster can do easily and
inexpensively, and include such
things as Sunflower Heads and
Blooms, Flower arrangements

in a variety of containers, and
collections.

A few ideas: A floral
arrangement in a decorated
soup can; animal figures using
a vegetable for the main part;
miniature garden in a pie plate;
flower arrangement in a sea
shell or a nut shell; Posters of
pressed leaves, grains, grasses,
rocks, flowers; collections of
rocks and insects.

The list could go on and one,
and there are sections for
nearly anything a child could
want to do.

All in all, this fall fair could be
4 great success, if you bring
your entries. They may be
brought to Clarence Michiel
school on the evening of Friday,
September third between five
and eight o’clock.

Shriners
slated fo

The Terrace Shriners, a
service club under the Gizeh
Temple, are once again holding
their annual fund-raising
carnival.

This carnival, or midway, is
the only event the Terrace club
uses to raise funds for their
work in their Orthopaedic and
Burned Childrens Hospitals
across the western hemisphere.

The Shriners are a fraternal
organization with a long history
and involvement in building and
establishing hospitals for
burned and crippled children.

There are 15 orthopaedic
Hospitals in the United States,
two in Canada, and one each in
Hawaii and Mexico.

The history of these hospitals
foes back to 1922 when the first
shrine hospital opened it’s doors
in Shreveport, Louisiana with 60
beds

Since that time, the total of
beds has grown to 1,124 and in
1966 the first institute for
severely burned children was
opened in Galveston Texas with
30 beds. Since 1965, two more
burns hospitals have been
opened.

Statistics show that the
annual cast of operation for the
orthopaedic hospitals is
$30,852,000 and for the burns
institutes, the total is $6,612,000.

Approximately 7,152
orthopaedic cases are treated
annually, and 785 burn cases
treated annually.

There are approximately
65,980 outpatients from the
hospitals, and since the
inception of. the hospitals,
160,000 cases have been treated.

The average stay for patients is
54 days in the orthopaedic units.

The average cost per patient
last year was $1,956 in «the
orthopaedic units, and the
estimated cost to treat severly

‘burned children is
approximately $10,000. Some
burn cases have cost in excess
of $20,000.

From the start of the program
in 1922 to today, the toal cost of
operating these, hopsitals has
been $147,489,189,

So, what do all these figures
mean to the people of Terrace?
Lots. There are four children
from Terrace in these hospitals,
along with three from Kitimat,
three from Hazelton, and one
each from Cedarvale and
Kitamaat Village, _

The program {is open to ail
children under 16 years of age: ,

Carnival
and paying patients are not
admitted to the hospitals.

The shriners pay the fares of
the parents and the child to and
from the hospitals, and keep the
parents in hotels or whatever
for as long as is necessary,

The Terrace Shriners deal
with the hospitals in Winnipeg,
Manitoba and in Portland,
Oregon.

The money to support the
program comes from all the
Shriners in the Gizeh Temple
and through the combined
effort, the program is possible.
Terrace’s only contribution to
the program is through the
annual carnival, so citizens who
are mindful of the welfare of
their and others’ children are
urged to come out and have a

- food time.

The unique philanthropy and
voluntary efforts of the Shriners
with their long tradition of
public service is focused upon
humanitarian endeavour,
Great progress has heen made
toward reducing suffering and
saving lives, insuring that a
crippled or burned child will be

enabled to live a full and usefull
life.
