The . Terrace Beauilification .

Soclety held its sixth annual
Garbaihon Sunday, Apri! 2!
and the event was quite a suc-
cess. ;
With the weather co-
operating, nine teams and eight
families turned out for a total of
106 people. Between them they
collected 104 bags of garbage.
The eleven Miss Terrace
Pageant contestants and two
committee members accounted
for 19 bags with the 26-strong

Bank of Montreal team picking:

up another 16,

The Miss Terrace contingent
covered a three-block area
along Lakelse and Lazelle
Avenues. They also won the
scavenger hunt, finding all 10
items of litter including a
baseball card, twist tie and bub-
ble gum wrapper.

‘Many prizes and certificates
were handed out and everyone

was trealed to drinks and ice ©

cream bars.
A. couple of noteworthy ef-
farts: Unable to make the Sun-

day event, the Wayne Martin |

family picked up garbage bags

‘from the organizers and did

their stulf the previous day.

_ And, having decided the‘new
Skeena bridge needed sweeping,
Les Watmough did just that. It

“Here ‘n.
There”

took two sessions totalling three

and a half hours! I asked Les if

anyone stopped to ask him what

he was doing. ‘'Yes,”’ was the

teply, “Someone asked me if I

had to do some community ser-
_ vice,””

Two judges from the
Beautification Society will be
driving around to all the schools
next week to see which has the
cleanest school yard.

The society would like to
thank all those who tock part in
the’ Garbathon. and remind
those who couldn't make it, you
can still help by taking a couple
of hours to clean up around
your home or workplace.

kKeKK:

Anthony Joseph Cate passed

away April 5 at Terraceview
Lodge after a struggle with
cancer.
_ Tony Cote was born Oct. 27,
1909 in Winnipeg, Man. The
family — Tony, his mother
Florida, grandmother . and
grandfather Cote and their 10
children — moved to Terrace in
1920, taking up residence in a
large: log ‘home on the site of
what is today the golf course.

They were heavily into farm-
ing. A large potato patch was
located on a sidehill just above
the house and each fall they fill-
ed to capacity an approximately
50ft. long root: house.: :

It was here Tony met Kay and
they were married in 1934. They
had four children: Joyce, Roy,
Irene and Apne.

Tony was a-hard worker ail
his life and even after retiring
was always;:busy doing
something. Once,: when work-
ing for Swain's Transfer, he had
to move a piano up a flight of
stairs for a lady — quite a strug-
gle, apparently... ° 3. -

At that’ time” people used
either firewood or coal, Swain’s
would deliver both, picking up
the firewood from a Swede out
on the Old Lakelse Lake road
and the coal from the railyard
— it came down from the
Telkwa mine by boxcar.
’ Tony also worked at, the Lit

‘tle, Haugland, Kerr, Pohle and
Columbia Cellulose sawmills.
He retired in 1974 which gave

Smith leaving centre

; ‘The Kermode Friendship Center’s program director is leav-
ing.

Francis Smith, ¥ho has held the job for two years, is retur-
ning to the west coast of Vancouver Island.
‘I’ve applied for a number a eee ot
of positions (on Vancouver fam
Island). I’m now waiting to

see what turns up,'’ he said.

Smith's last day is April
30. The centre began inter-
viewing this week for a
replacement.

Smith said he enjoyed
working at the center,
especially in developing
recreational programs for
-young people.

_"] hope that continues.
There’s a need for that in the
‘olty,? he Said. 2

-” Phantom bowlers

A great time was had by all and a good cause was helped at
the same time — that was the verdict following a recent
bowlathon organized by students at Skeena Jr. Secondary
school.

The event was the idea of students planning to visit Van-
couver to take in the Phantom of the Opera and who also
wanted to make a contribution to the fundraising effort for a
CT Scan for Mills Memorial hospital. .

- The competition pitted youth against those a little older,
the latter including local members of the B.C. Seniors Games
society. a ;

'- Although the actual scores achieved on the lanes have not
been released, there's little question the seniors scored an
overwhelminging success in the pledge department — they
raised some $800! .

Congratulating the seniors on their effort, Betty Misfeldt
said Bob Goodvin, Maxine Smallwood, Renata Davies, Bud
Kirkaldy and Betty Nordstrom had provided ‘‘a little solace
to the ill and a bit of culture to the young.”

Students net bursaries

The Academic Workers union (CUPE local 2406) has nam-
ed this year’s recipients of its two bursaries for Northwest
Community College students.

Julia Adams received the Jeff Marvin Memorial bursary of
$450, awarded each year to a native student, while Gloria
Nisyok was presented with the Rhena Gardiner Memorial
bursary, also $450, which goes to a student in the Early
Childhood Education program. Ce

In congratulating the students, local vice-president Liz Ball
said the bursaries were intended to provide a continuing
reminder of the work of the two individuals for whom they
were named. fey

A psychology instructor and counsellor, Marvin was also
the co-ordinator of a nationally-acclaimed native studies pro-
gram at NWCC. Ball said the bursary marks his dedication in
providing post-secondary education to meet the needs of
native people in the region. me

Head nurse at Hazelton’s Wrinch Memorial hospital, Gar-
diner was the ‘founder and guiding light” of the Hazelton
Children’s Home. Describing the home as a pioneer centre in
ploviding family-centred care for special needs children, Ball
said the bursary served as a reminder of Gardiner’s work in
the education of young children, particularly those with
special needs.
