city will be writing a letter to Minister of Forests Claude
Richmond supporting the West Fraser bid to purchase the

Bill McRae and Vic Maakulak represented West Fraser at
the Aug, 27 meeting, Maskulak outlined the steps taken in the
past to maintain their sawmill operation in Terrace and the

importance of the Tay-M timber in continuing that operation.
And McRae told the committee that a letter from the District

timber assigned to a forest company who would ship the
‘wood through Stewart rather than Terrace.

 Maskulak, however, told the cominitteee that even if they

It’s that time of the year, and Lukas Maikapar knows it. If you don't have your winter's supply of

firewood yet, you can get split birch from the Terrace Youth Group this coming Saturday next to

Riverside Auto Wrecking in Thornhill. It costs $55 for a 1/2-ton pickup load (about a 1/2 cord), $65

for a stacked 1/2-ton pickup load (about 3/4 of a cord), or, if all you have Is a Volkswagon beetle,

throw in what you can and you'll be charged accordingly. Funds go to the Terrace Youth Group
; travel treasury.
