Art classes
to begin
Basic art classes sponsored

by the Smithers Ceramic Club
will be open to the creative

portion of the Terrace
community this October.
Club spokeswoman Pat

Munro this week began a
recruiling campaign in the
area. She hereby advises any

persons interested in
instructing or receiving
instruction on the ~ basic
techniques involved with

weaving, batik dyeing .and
pottery to get in touch with the
Smithers club as soon as
possible.

“‘Thec lasses arereally meant
for beginners but persons
experienced in the offered
subjects would certainly help us
along,’’ Mrs. Munro said.

She also said the classes will
briefly run throughout one week
and although no particular time
has been set aside it is expected
that the classes will serve as a
boosting prelude to the clubs’
November art show.

Class fees will also remain
minimal, covering only the
expense of instructors,

Ah, Terrace, how lucky you are. But beware - the ‘budding

the fun of throwing unsuspecting: people into t
watching little curls of smoke rise skyward, there isn’t much
happening in Terrace entertainment wise but fear not. Plans
are on the drawing board. [t’s alsoa way of introducing the next
subject which deals with my little excursion to Vancouver last

. week. People come in the’store with, “What made you cometea |
small place like Terrace” or “How could you leavea cily, Don't
you find it dull here?” Now I can tell you dear people of little,
duil Terrace, There isn’t a prettier (once we close down the
polluters) spot anywhere,’ ] went down to Vancouver. with the
fear that after being‘away from all the benefils a city has te
offer which I had grown with and used to, 1 would want to stay
down there. Noway. After only three- months of the pace of the
Terrace way of life I found Vancouver far too hectic, And
for you skeptics, it wasn’t that I didn't know my way around
because when you come from New York. it only takes a day to
size upa city like Vancouver. It's nice for 2 city but it’s beaches
are polluted, its roads conjested with cars, its streets congested
with people scurrying nowhere and it’s genera] way of life
draining itself of the very energy thal keeps it going. So beware

. people of Terrace: Don’t let the commercialism of the booming
cily trap you into leading Terrace down the same path. Once —
upon a time Vancouver was the size of Terrace. Remember - _-
speed kills - walk don’t run. Anyway, what’s new with records.
