BOX 399, 3212 KALUM STREET TERRACE, B.C. Don't miss a moment In our country, the land of the Skeena, the land of winding highways to Rupert, Smithers and Kitimat, rings of mist rise from the hills and the morning sun. The leaves sparkle with last night’s dew, A bird sings, and far away a distant stream tumbles in the river. Life is on the move again. Like some enormous puzzle formed from a million pieces, all living, all caught in marvelous mysterious design of life, the forest stretches from earth to sky, horizon to the complex, horizon. Yet each Exploring it can take a lifetime, understanding generations. it has taken day dawn as young, and fresh as the one before....,All in our back yard, the land of Skeena. Each offers sensory wonders that and are unsurpassed in their beauty and constant change. The land that is ours, revolves like a giant kaleidoscope of living things. Al you have to do is look around you. Don’t miss one moment. Take its offer, reach out. Don’t miss one moment. Letters to the editor Editors of Terrace Herald & Prince Rupert News Dear Sirs: As yet there does not seem to have been much information in your papers as regards the spraying of the highway bet- ween Terrace and Prince Rupert on September 22, or 23, 1971. My husband happened to travel to and from Prince Rupert on those dates and noticed the Depariment of Highways truck spraying alongside the road. Since the Skeena Valley has long been a migratory route for birds of all kinds, and birds were first {pund dead at. Prince » Rupert on September 24th, w would like to- now why highway was sprayed at such a time of the year, and just what herbicide was being used? Surely somebody in the area must have been aware that this spraying was being un- dertaken? a One also wonders just how many birds fell dead in the outlying parts of Ahis country? Yours truly, Mrs. Vie Bryant The Editor The Daily Herald Terrace, B.C. Dear Sir; It_is important to the residents of any community that they acquaint themselves with the development of their village or town. In Thornhill, however, there seems to be a deep rooted apathy towards the running of the village and everything is usually left to a few. community concious residents to carry on with all the planning of the town. The Thornhill Ratepayers 3 ASS hash ing now * for’ pgiationha oe help - the-community. to get-a piped. water supply and possibly other amenities such as sewer, adequate street lighting, and fire protection; and, of course, to obtain these at the lowest possible cost. There have been many meetings in the past to discuss these things butall but a few have heen very poorly attended. ‘Et is well known among our residents that unless we get organised and get things rolling for ourselves that the Provincial government agencies will step in and do the organizing and at government prices. . Just recently a government agent has heen around to make a preliminary survey of our area to see where light industry has. been started, which areas are residential and also to see what areas have a clay soil where sewer pits would possibly be'a health hazard. So, residents, it looks as if the government is getting on the pall. Maybe it is about time that we ALL get on the ball; and as soon as possible. In view of these developments our association has called a public meeting -to be held at the Thornhill Elementary School at © 8 ms. on JPhurpday. next, Qe. tober 21. Amongst things to be discussed will the future planning and zoning of Thonhill and the report of the water improvement district developments to date. New members of the association will, be cordially invited. Yours very truly, WM. T. Godden President, Thornhil Ratepayers Association.
