PAGE Az, THE HERALD, Wednesday, March 2, 1977 _Nora Langley Memorial Bursary founded _The Terrace Chapter of the Registered Nurses Association of B.C. which has 105 members in this community and some 500 in the Skeena District which extends from the Queen Charlottes to Houston, has launched a Nora Langley Memoria! Bursary Fund which the members hope will receive sufficient funding to make it a per- manent bursary using only the interests. The late Nora Langley lost her life in an automobile accident on Sunday, January 17, succumbing to her injuries one day later on Monday, January 18. She was at the time of her death the Senior Nurse of the Terrace Public Health Unit. She was a graduate of St. Joseph Hospital of Nursing in ‘Toronto. Following her graduation she served in the Stewart Hospital for two years. She attended the University of British Columbia where she earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. Following her graduation in 1973 she was stationed in Terrace as a Public Health Nurse and in the summer of 1974 she was promoted to Senior Nurse. Her SEVEN SISTERS responsibilities covered Terrace, Kitimat, Hazelton and Houston. Nurse Langley was very well known in the region, being an active member of the nurses association and served on the Health Care Advisory Committee of the Northwest Community College. A spokesman for the R.N.A.B.C., Terrace Chapter, advised the Herald that it is ho that there would be sufficient financial support for the Memorial Bursary so that the proceeds from interest would suffice to maintain the bursaries granted without using the principal. Although exact plans have not been made yet, it is possible that the bursaries granted from the fund would be directed towards nurses continuing education. This has not been finalized as yet. Citizens wishing to con- . tribute to this fund can do so by sending a cheque marked Nora Langley Memorial Bursary Fund, R.N.A.B.C.

Cedarvale residents ask for logging delay “I don’t mind sdimeone making a nickel but I don’t want Lo loose a dime in the process,’’ Albert Emery of Cedarvale told the regional district board Saturday. Emery was at the meeting to express his concern over proposed logging at the base of the Seven Sisters Mountain. Den Thompson, another Cedarvale resident, said the people of that community are concerned that the logging may threaten their farms because of the in- creased flooding that would result. Thompson said a hydrologist who recently studied the logging area said there was a great lack of data, “Nobody really knows for sure what the watershed boundaries are,” he said. He said the culverts that are presently being used in the area are barely, adequate and if the logging goes ahead the flow of water will double. “Tf you don’t know the watershed how can you estimate the amount of ‘water coming into the lawer Jevels?’’ he asked. : Thompson believes that the logging will cause the snow to melt faster and the water to come down faster. He said the area is like a ’ sponge and there are only four months of the year when there are not good run- offs. * He said if the run-off is doubled the velocity is in- creased four times; the ra 6 a te ‘ . q a = REAL ESTATE Sin ACRES, East of Terrace, both sides,of Highway 16. gy Good creek, tots of birch, over fi20 acres fronting on Skeena WRiver.

The experts who visit the area refuse to believe the ~ culverts are too small, he said. . He said if the logging gees through about $91,000 will go to the provincial treasury and the logging can be used to better advantage or a sizeable chunk of this money will go to repairing the damage. Residents have ap- parently suffered from flooding in the past that was the result of road work. They did not get any money back then and they. have no guarantee they will be compensated if the logging causes the damage. Thompson has asked that the government delay the logging, halt it or make sure every guideline possible is followed. “In language, clarity is every- thing.” Confucius Audiences will learn the truth fo that question this weekend and next as Terrace Little Theatre presents 1S TERRACE READY FOR X-RATED THEATRE?

Electricity is going to cost more ENERGY AT COST B.C. Hydro sells energy essentially at cost with any margin of net income going back into the business to reduce the amount of capital that must be borrowed for new projects. As the cast - of providing service to customers goes up, rates for electricity must follow. _ Despite a year of cost-trimming anc! _ holding the line on staff requirements, expenditures for materials, labour, services and borrowing have all risen sharply, The.rapid cost increases have hit Hydro and other uiilities hard, particularly over the past few years. ; Hydro is also incurring new costs in meeting its responsibilities to mini- mize the environmental and social - Using energy wisely is more.important than ever. Here's why: impacts of new projects. To meet these expenses, and to ensure adequate supplies of electricity, the new rates announced recently for all classes of _ Hydro's electric customers are neces- sary to avoid deficits on eleciric service ind977/78. 1. ie es THE DAYS OF CHEAP ENERGY ARE PAST As long as inflation continues, rates will continue to rise—along with the costs of other products and ser- vices. Utilities throughout North America have been forced to raise rates for electricity with increasing frequency. However, B.C. Hydro’s electric rates over the past 15 years have lagged well behind rising lavels of the personal cost of {iving. TO OBTAIN THE LOWEST POSSIBLE INTEREST RATES + =~" “To meet the steadily increasing “demand for electricity by B.C. Hydro's” ‘customers, new generating and - delivery facilities must be built. Most of the money required to build these facilities must be borrowed, And to obiain it at the lowest possible interest rate, which ultimately benefits you, y the consumer, we must maintain a sound financial position. Additional ' revenue from the new rates will assist Hydro in achieving that position. .~ Here’s how much: ALL CUSTOMERS AFFECTED All classes of customers— residential, general, commercial and industrial —will be affected by in- creases in B.C.
