Forgrave added that Prime Minister Joe Clark had earlier indicated he wanted the Yellowhead established as Canada’s second national highway, along with the southern Trans-Canada route. The convention at- fracted upwards of 40 1 tps, less than the expected “turnout of 100. The delegation from Manitoba never showed up, while scheduled appearances from the deputy highways ministers of Alberta and Saskatchewan were cancelled due to the unforeseen postponement of the convention two weeks ago due to the air radio operators strike. The convention spent most of its morning and early afternoon sessions examining the slate of the highway. . The reports from the local delegates from the 95 municipalities con- centrated on such structural needs as widening the road’s shoulders and the daagerous stretches such as the 14 stretch of road north of Kamloops. The convention voted to ask each provincial govern- ment to look into the conditions of the road within each border. Terrace Mayor Dave Maroney, a past president of the association, gave a report on the state of recon- struction of the stretch between Terrace and Prince Rupert. Maroney, along with Prince Rupert Mayor Peter Lester, was elected - . to the association’s board of directors.” ‘ ab me wane means: better road’ government “follows through on the ‘com- mittment to pravide funding, the Deputy Highways Minister Bob Harvey told the Yellowhead Highway Association convention in Theatre to try to get a laugh _ The Terrace Little Theatre will be presenting “Doubles, a farcical comedy set ‘in a small town in Mexico, the evenings of Nov. 29 and 30, and_ Dec. 16,7, and & “Doubles” was written by Fred Carmichael and is- directed by Ken Morton and Merry Hallsor.

Earlier in the day, about 40 delegates from B.C., Alberta, and Saskatchewan had received assurances from Kamloops-Shuswap M.P. Bob Cameron that Prime Minister Clark intended to honor a pledge to provide federal money for the 3,105 kilometre long northern route stretching from Prince Rupert and Terrace and through the four western provinces to Winnipeg. Harvey says the province intends to spend an estimated $340 million in the next 10 years to bring the Yellowhead up to national highway standards. He told the delegates at the Terrace hotel the spending would include $95 million from Prince Rupert to Tete Jaune on .the Alberta border. The recon- struction of bridges between Terrace and Kitimat would be a large part of the spending, the deputy minister in- dicated. other’ ipgtiding “ex: ‘penditures would include $35 million from Tete Jaune to Kamloops; $60 million frori Kariiloops to Merritt and an ‘Additional $150 million for a new extension from Merritt to Hope. This allocation is scheduled over the next 10 years, a period which will be substantially reduced if Cameron's weekend promise is followed through. While the M.P. from Kamloops-‘Shuswap didn’t think there would be anything fer the Yellowhead in Finance Minister John Crosbie’s upcoming budget, he urged quick action on the part of the provinces. “Prime Minister Clark wants the four western highways minislers to get together wilh him and Transport Minister Don Mazinkowski and work out a formula and then they'll discuss figures,”’ he said, indicating no financial formula was available at this preliminary stage.

Call collect 564-2121 However, she didn’t attribute her victory to the fact that she was a woman, “TI hope I didn’t get in because [‘m a woman, I hope I got in because people think I will do a good job,” she said. Nattress, who has had experience working on the Advisory Recreation Committee and has at- tended council meetings in the past,” says she’s ready to go to work at her new job. There was speculation on Saturday night as to the role to be played by the only novice on council. Former Terrace Mayor Vic Jolliffe ex- pects it will make the job easier for one returning alderman, Helmut Giesbrecht, of whom he is a staunch supporter. “It will be a more balanced council, with Nattress replacing Soutar,’’ he said. ‘It will give support to the odd- man out Giesbrecht and will bring Talstra, whose vote is slowly rising each election, in line with a Talstra-Giesbrecht- Nattress alliance as compared with Pease, Cooper and Perschke.”’ “The mayor will be called upon more often to split the tie vote,” he added, in reference to Dave Maroney who was returned by acclamation. “This will shape up to be an interesting election for 1980 and will provide a better view on the amalgamation issue.” Nattress made no committments to align herself with Giesbrecht, though she added, “I think it is possible we will have things in common.” She attributed the suc- cess her success in large part to the people who helped her campaign.
