Add to that:number supporters and boosters and the just plain sports fans-it could add up to what its proponents save been predicting righ ¢ along. :. ‘The N.W.B.C. Winter Games at Pr. George Feb. 5 (For that is what we are talking about) could be tne second largest athletic event -second only to Montreal Olympics ever to held in Canada. from the standpoint of games and athletic events, it is said to even surpass the Montreal Olympics One might have expected there would be sendoff rallies heldin Terrace, benefit dinners, banners on the strect-calvacades of buses and automobiles, parades tand all the fun and frolic and bally-hoo leading up to the departure for the games by Terrace sports butts, We have heard,through the grapevine that Terrace’s Water Polo team is second to none. (But only through. the grapevine). ; What has our Chamber of Commerce been doing to omote Terrace participation on 4 worthwhile scale? at has our City been doing? Did the City have a sendoff ,banquet w _Ae- eompanying pub city-speech by the mayor the MLA the athletic organization heada? If so we apologize for not knowing about it. And the School Board? Presumably. some of the bast athletes have school nannnestion? Wa know our MP has done her best. She ‘omised to try.to get the Prime Minister there-and. she has kept out word. She is also spending a day and ‘a night there herself, and has managed to come up ‘with federal cash grants. Undoubtedly there are-there must be-a number of service clubs, and agencies organizations and sports groups in Terrace that have been working doggedly, behind the scene-or there would not have been the high number of entrants there are from Terrace. =. Kut, tor an event of this-‘magnitude, we would have ‘expected some dash and colour-pizzazz; would have thought the main entrants would have become household words during the past few weeks - In-. dividuals and merchants offering. prizes (as far as amateur standing allow) for the rs of certain events - or is that not permitted, prizes to the spon- poring teams. | :.. We would have thought the Herald would have been awampled with press releases, writeups and photos fram various groupe promoting their favourite team or entrant. Where were the buttons, the pennants, the bumperstickers? Where were the clowns-the carnival atmosphere-the fun and excitement of getting ready for ‘the greatest sporta event-second only to the Olymplcs-ever to held in Canada? ; “ But the games are underway now, and the returns tin fo, trickle in.

And how should His Excellency live? ; “An ambassador,"he answers, ‘‘needs the sort of accommodation in keeping with his role as representative of his country.

And the department of External Affairs and its ifor aid arm, the {Development Agency apparently agree. — Another West African State, Cameroon, with a per capita income of 29,000 last year drew $7 million in Canadian foreign aid. mS But its ambassador, His Excellency Martin Epie has set up $500,000 diplomatic mission here, comprising a six-bedroom .split level residence with pool in suburban Nepean and: a three-s home in a fashionalbe Globe as an embassy office.
