The weather in Terrace is very Christmas-like with a good snow cover and the skiers at Shames Mountain are all very happy. Tina Brouwer from Braun’s Is- land tells me some geese are still hanging around, suggesting we could have a mild winter. This week I would like to tell you a little about the Salvation Amy. The first Salvation Army Corp opened in Terrace back in 1957. Prior to this time Terrace served as an outpost, with the Salvation Amny officer, envoy Jack Russell, living in Cedarvale. Envoy Russell was (he person who held the flag when Norma Young was first enrolled in 1965 into the Salvation Army at White Rock, B.C. Now the new ‘Salvation Army officers are Norm and Cindy Hamelin, replacing Lt. Mike and Lee Anne Hoeft. Lt, Hamelin tells me all is very busy right now in preparation for Christmas food distribution, It takes place Dec, 22-23 at 4545 Lazelie Ave. . People who have nowhere to go can take in a Christmas dinner Dec, 25 at 2 p.m. at the Terrace Inn. (Apply first at the Salvation Amy.) oS Now some history on the pillar of the Salvation Amy in Terrace © for many years — the late Capt. William Young. | He was born Nav. 14, 1915 in Saint John, New Brunswick, Bill had a good but strict fam- ily. His family were very strong Baptists, with bis mother playing the organ at the church they at- tended. He altended school in ‘New Brunswick until hereached Grade . 10. He then went to work at dif ferent odd jobs. His father died when he was-19 and during this time —- without a father’s guiding hand — Bill be- gan to fall apart.

He moved to Nova Scotia and then to Montreal, where he worked in bars and gambling saloons. He made plenty of money, but drank it away just as quickly. In 1941 he bad moved to B.C. and spent several years working for the railroad. His drinking increased and he became an alcoholic, as did the lady he married. In 1954, his marriage came to an end. He later married a second wife and they had two children. Unfortunately, the | drinking continued; leading to several jail sentences before he met. a friend — in the Salvation Army. '_ After several.setbacks he began. to straighten himself out. He eventually turned his ‘life around and gave up drinking © forever. At that time he put his life in the hands of the Lord. The help he received from the Salvation, Army was "returned with interest when he began ‘to work with the army, helping. others with the same problems he once had. children on his own, In 1966 he moved to Prince ‘George, working with the Salva- TERRACE STANDARD: Army for years.
