Ann wife of John Flynn, a plasterer. Shortly after birth, Eliza was adopted privately. Harriet and her mother came to Canada round about 1912. Eighty- two year old Eliza, who still lives in Hexham is very anxious to find her long lost twin sister Harriet or Harriet's . children. Research in the U.K. has established that the last news of Harriet occurred in 1963 when she was reported to be living in Toronto, Ontario with her husband and three children; two boys and a girl, Unfortunately the name of Harriet’s husband is not known. Eliza and Harriet have an older half brother Billy McGarity.who'is known to have. lived in Canada and to have worked for Canadian-Pacific in the early 1830's, brobably of on the North Atlantic Passenger.” liners. « eo oe Sy \ Tae or Bek aihy ji outline, orit or Billy McGarity or their descendents please write tome at ¢ 14 Gertrude Place, Toronto, Ontario, M4J 1R3, — Thank you. ; Yours sincerely, . Juliet Mannock — To the Edltor; oe . Mr. P. Weeber, Mayor of New Hazelton, has a letter in the Tuesday, March 6 edition which contains some glaringly false information in-the first paragraph. _His comment, “This is a radical departure from the, recent past when’ quite a number of Terrate area politicians were obviously: . notin favour of industrialization" is not supported by the facts. He seems very fond of repeating this statement and I would. challenge him to support it with facts and documentation, not just his impressions. The subject even came up at the meeting he ‘describes: in his letter, but he clearly didn't hear-Alean’s. response, or merely ignored it. Mr. Weeber, from his lofty perch in the progressive community of New Hazelton, has .consistently involved himself in Terrace municipal issues. That in itself is not: serious because wein Terrace have a sense of humor. Itis; |. however, inexcusable not to check his facts before he Gravis his sanctimonious conclusions. | For example, ‘his statement, “The fact that the Skeena Coalition people were - given a full half hour before the Alcan people said a word indicated that the officiat welcome mat is not completely out” is irresponsible and incorrect. The fact is, Alcan asked to be placed’ second on the agenda, and we complied with their request since we had changed the format of the meeting after they had agreed to participate, Originally, Alcan was to make the only presentation. It would have been so simple for Mr. Weeber to find out why it was done, rather than imply some sin- sister motive. - Mr. Weeber is entitled to express his opinion, even as-an outsider, but if he wants to involve himself in the Terrace political scene, I would appreciate it if he got his facts straight. ‘Thank goodness the reat of the Pacific northwest mayors are astute enough not to atick their noses in another communities’ political affairs, Yours truly, . - Helmut Giesbrecht, Mayor can't find his file. ‘C’ for crazy or ‘H’ for horse?” 3-26 The: Canadian spller, which interrupted a we slump ¢ on, foreign exchange markets Monday, resumed ta downward path today. . : After posting a weekend gain of more than half a ‘cent at Monday's close of 79.17.centa U.S., the Canadian | currency opened at 78.99 today, “Tradera, noting that the Bank of Canada entered the: market Monday, buying dollars to halt the currency's slide, had predicted that the gain would Probably be short-lived. ; “This 1s not the turnaround,” warned Jim Snook, an _ aagisjant vice-president with Citibank, “H's a temporary ‘reprieve in the market.” — - The bank intervened after the currency plunged half a cent in early trading.
