10c a Copy, $3.00 a Year ~- Press Run 2,550

@ WE'VE BEEN ACCUSED OF IT BEFORE so we thought we'd admit there are times when

we print the Herald by candlelight. Pressman John Chapman completed a 2950 press run

this morning using two wax candles to light up our basement plont.

Reason for the

blackout was a temporary cut-off in our 110-volt service while B.C. Hydro men installed
a new transformer at the corner of Kalfum and Lazelle. Three-phase service kept lino-

types and presses running but proofreaders took an hour off.

we've had recently came from
the TV type night Line show
when host Wayne Seabrook ask-
ed a caller, “What is the most
important thing in life for you?”
Said caller replied: “Oh, I
don’t know — just living I
guess," The announce man came
back, “Oh -—- surely there must
be something more important
than that.” Now we'd like to ask
Mr. §, what could possibly be

hand to hear annual reports and
recommendations for the forth-
coming year.

Total revenue for. the year was
$437,853.07, The operational ex-
penditures were listed as $478,
280.17 but this figure included de-
Preciation of $43,676.42 on build-
ings, furniture, equipment and
Pavement, an item which requires
no actual cash outlay,

Highest on the list of hospital
operating expenditures were sal-
aries, wages, maintenance and
radiologist fees all representing a
total outlay of $298,353.41. $28,000
was spent on food and dietary sup-
plies, $21,000 on drugs and medi-
cines and $11,000 for fuel.

Building program plans for an
$847,000 addition to Mills Mem-

length during the annual meeting
