MORE BEDS are badly
needed at Terraceviow
Lodge.

That’s becoming appar-
ent as some of our local
seniors, who are on the
waiting list for Ter-
raceview, are now having
to go out of Terrace for
accomodation.

] think it’s rather sad
when the time comes that
our local people need to
enter Terraceview Lodge
and they’re told they will
be put on a waiting list
for two or three years, or
have to look elsewhere
around B,C, for the help
they need.

What can we do to
help?

One of those having dif-
ficulty making the transi-
tion is my very good
friend, Dorothy Smith.

Dorothy Smith (Frank)
is the daughter of the late
Kitsumkalum _ pioneers
Henry and Mattie Frank,
who came by riverboat to
Kitsumkalum in 1908.

Dorothy was born in the
month of July in 1913 in
the two-storey home that
her father built in 1908 —
a home that is still there
today.

The Frank pioneer farm
in Kitsumkalum was once
the site of Frank’s Dairy
on Frank St. It’s now
owned and lived in by-
Mrs. Hidher.

Another wing at Ter-

help. Maybe we should
all be thinking about this,
because soon our tum
will be here.

We see merchants pre-
paring for expansion, but
our hospitals have to be
ready for this change too.

a This story was written by one of
the students in the Community:
Readers & Writers Project. tt 'was:

written on the computer... Th
‘student worked with a tutor: to.
‘write the story, edit it, check the.
spelling, and check the punctua-
tion. A computer can be very uses
ful. for improving your. writing. ,
You can use it fo write out your:
main ideas, then add more detail.
or get rid of stuff. Mistakes can be.
corrected without anyone seeing.
them: Computers have: special
programs to check your spelling.
and even your grammar. When
you are ready - just print. The fin
al copy always looks great.

_Lhe topic for this story. was:
“Things I. Like To Do.” The
‘writer’s main ideas were: history,
boats, - ‘Vancouver, ‘cats, cand.
sports. Which idea was: dropped
in the final story? -

Things I Like To Do

My favourite subject is history, I really
line books about the war and about sunken
ships. 1 like the program about the Titanic. I
just read a book about the Gold Rush. It was
about a boy who travelled from England to
Canada to look for gold in 1898.

When [ go to Vancouver I like to look at
the freighters in the harbour. They come
from all over the world. [ like to see the dif-
ferent flags and the names.

Other places I] go to in Vancouver are the
planetarium, Chinatown, aquarium, Stanley
Park, and of course, a hockey game. [ also
like the seabus and the skytrain, especially
when it goes over the Fraser river. |

" Soiiietinies' go Shopping in North Vancouver,

Soccer is a great sport to watch, it has lots
of action. I like to watch ihe European soc-
cer on TSN. I also watch football, but my
favourite sport is hockey. My favourite team
is Pittsburgh Penguins. They’ve been my
favourite for two years. I like Mario

Lemieux and Yarame Yagar. [| hope they
win the Stanley Cup this year.
