' - Gordon Ro land... personal service ~We must encourage Ever wondered if your ap- plication for unemployment insurance benefits is filled out - correctly? Starting to-day, (December 4, 1972) you'll be able to take your application into the UIC office in Terrace or the Canada Manpower office in Prince Rupert and be given assistance in completing the form. Not only that, you will also be advised if your claim will go through. Prince George District . Manager Hugh Campbell said Terrace and Prince Rupert | were chosen as the first two communities to try out this new service partly because of the ° Beographical difficulties in the mail service between here and Prince George and the natural increase in claims at this time of year. “We have put two, specially. trained people intoeach office,” Mr.‘ Campbell said “who will ~ small bu check benefit applications for. - . accuracy and ensure that a properly completed Record of Employment is attached. 1 can’t emphasis the importance of this document. In the past few months more than 53 per cent of all applications received in B.C, have been held up because the Record of Em- ployment was missing or not completed properly.” UIC clients who want to take advantage of this new service can call on the office in Terrace any weekday between 8:00 a.m, and 4:00 pm. or the Canada Manpower office in Prince Rupert between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 pm. . CORPORAL RAY MASHFORD ,who is in charge of the Terrace Highway Patrol as well as being the N.C,Q. in charge of all Highway Traffic in the district from the Queen Charlottes to Burns Lake as well as Kitimat, Bella Coola, Ocean Falls etc... 32 weeks should be safe driving weeks Again throughout Canada the week of December 1-7 has been declared Safe Driving Week. For Terrace and area RCMP will be concentrating on spot checks and checking vehicles for equipment which is required, such things as good lires, lights, brakes, steering and the snow tires that are now required. It is the responsibility of each motorist to ensure his vehicle is properly equipped with winter driving ahead of us, bringing with it icy and snowy driving conditions. I remind each motorist that the three inain causes of ac- cidents in our area are following too close, failing to yield the right of way and speeds that are too fast with liquor contributing to the in- fraction in most cases. Our statistics for this year are better than they were for 1971 and 1970 which shows that either motorists are showing more concern for their own safety and that of others or that local police are doing a better job of traffic enforcement. At this time I would like to remind all motorists who drink and drive thal should this come to the attention of the RCMP the driver will be required by law to submit to a breathalizer test. If a driver refuses to take this test, it can result in a further charge as well as the one for impaired driving. In other words, either way it's cheaper to take a cab. With future holidays nearing it is hoped each motorist and office worker will use discretion . when thinking about driving home. Remember its the family and not the driver who often suffer the consequences. If streets and highways are icy and snow covered, a vehicle must not follow too close behind another, stopping distance triples over dry pavement and should: the driver be in- experienced or impaired, chances of an accident are much greater. All 52 weeks of the year should be devoted to safe driving so that many needless accidents could be ;prevented. Corpora] G.R. Mashford TERRACE HIGHWAY PATROL Many are going unheralded in our society.

STIKINE HELD IN FERRACE ON MONDAY DECEMBER 4th. Director L. Dubnick, representing Electoral Area B, brought up the proposed service center to be constructed at the junction of the Meziadin Stewart to Watson Lake Highay, suggesting that the site may not be the idea 1 one. He said that Hanna Creek would seem to be better. as there is flat land available at the ‘bottom of the hill with adequate water supply. He suggested ‘that a second look be taken at the proposed site as eventually there would be a townsite going up housing some 1,000 or more people and the proposed site would not be able to accommodate this project. In addition he mentioned the chosen site is prone to earthquakes. . . Mr. Ray Parfitt, Regional District Assistant Administrator commented that the Hanna Creek site could involve disturbing an important spawning area. Chairman Joe Banyay reminded the Directors that they were only looking at a service area and if a townsite develops this could be some miles off the highway. — John Poussette, Regional District Administrator commented that the spot selected fof the service area was ideal for travellers coming from Stewart or from the north. Director Dubnick stated that there is a large amount of timber in the area and that the Board should look to expansion now in its planning, Mr, L, Tan, Regional Consultant, said that the planning only involved a service center and thal any other facilities, . such as a townsite, would involve a much more in depth study as this is a far more involved matter. The proposed site is some 40 miles from Stewart and 120 miles from Hazelton. - - , pat Roe a ro en Ite ut Commenting on aletter published in the Terrace Herald from Mr, R. Bales President of the Northwest Chamber of Mines, Mr. John Pousetie said that Mr. Bates does not understand the. purpos ¢ of a study on mining which is expected by the Board shortly. He said the purpose of the study was to allow the Board and oiher government departments to pracess plans for road building, dam construction future highways, rail lines etc, with an appreciation of the mining potential in the areas Involved. Mr, Pousette said that if there is a high mineral potential it would probably influence such developments in that particular area and the construction could be moved elsewhere. However if the area shows no likely mineralization this would influence construction in that area. Mr. Pousette said the report will be the result of a highly sophisticated survey, in fact the best undertaken to date using the best obtainable from both the provincial and federal mining departments, . . Director L. Dubnick tabled a resolution asking for the ban of * all hunting for one mile along each side of the Stewart-Cassiar Highway. He said that on too many occasions a motorist sees large game, shoots it along the highway then hurries into town. to gel the required tag. oo Director D, Stickney, representing Kitimat, asked how’ ‘it . would be possible to police such a restricted area. Director Ev Clift, representing Terrace, commented that the Board’ had just.obtained two important studies on Wildlife and it was up to the authors to come up with recommendations . and it would be unwise for the Board to conie wp with decisions before these recommendations are received. Director Dubnick ~ interjected that by that time. there be no games left to worry about and withdrew his motion. Director Stickney said that he was certainly not infavour of road runners blasting their way up highways but is in favour of . obtaining a professions] opinion ‘before acting. et rom i as coe as 4 Mr, Gordon E. Rowland, seeking re-election as alderman in Terrace next Saturday, in- formed the Herald today that one of the most important challenges confronting the next council will be apolicy en- couraging smail industry in localing-in this community to strengthen the tax base taking some of the load off the householder. The candidate said that all: efforts must be made to assist businessmen in obtaining the land, and services required in locating within the city’s boundaries. A flexible policy must be maintained in such matters as zoning, parking etc. so that unrealistic obstacles are not allowed to block such light industrial or commercial in- dustries. The needs of this community will never be fulfilled, warned Alderman Rowland, if a large percentage of the capital cost falls on the home owner. In fact Mr.: Rowland expressed the .. opinion that the taxpayer's burden is now at the breaking point and administrators must look elsewhere the funds for improvements’ and new con- struction within the com- munity. : “J am firmly convinced: that | there is only one way for City Council to go and that to en- Manfred Lubke supports school referendum Great things are happening in ’ Education in B.C. today and _this has resulted because voters rejected the former govern- ment and elected a new government to give a new direction to Education in B.C.

He noted that there is some 300 acres of land below Graham. street which the present Council re-zoned rural to protect it because it lies in a- flood potential area. The Provincial Government has advised the construction in this - area. However, noted Mr.. Rowland, most of this land is excellent for anindustrial park. The railway seems ready to run a spur into the area when required. This gives the potential industrialist an ideal area to locate his - operation, went .on Mr. Rowland, and the next Council must take a close and in-depth look. at the ‘possibility of developing this land as an ip- dustrial park obtaining all possible assistance from both provincial and federal levels af government. - The upgrading of city streets is another area which requires a close look by the incoming council. Mr. possibly be cut by planning ahead and getting the best price for overall programs. Again, commented Mr. Rowland all possible federal and provincial assistance avenues must be explored and exploited. In conclusion, Mr. Rowland ‘expressed concern for the Senior Citizens of this com- munity and assured that the next council in so far as he is concerned, will keep well in- formed on the realistic needs of this important segment of our society and tha t he will see that + those people who have brought Terrace along through their devotion and laoour get their just dues in the future. the interests and needs of all who reside in the area, a more sensible school busing policy for. students who have to travel to school by bus, free school supplies for kindergarten and _ primary. pupils, better. -com- ‘munication between teachers. ‘and: the’ school board, better communication between the school board.
