A time to remember the less fortunate, a time to share. A time to remember that Jesus was born. He was born in an obscure village The child of a peasant woman He worked in a carpenter shop And was an itinerant preacher He never held an office He did none of the things one usually associates with preatness Nineteen centuries have come and gone And today he is the center figure of the human race All the armies that ever marched, All the navies that have ever sailed, All the kings that ever reigned, Put together, Have not affected the life of man on this earth As much as that.‘‘one solitary life’’! The churches who participated in the event were: Christian Reformed Church, Alliance Church, Pen- tecostal Assembly, Evangelical Free Church, Christ Lutheran Church, Zion Baptist Church, Salvation Ar- my, Church of God, Knox United Church, St. Mathews, Anglican Church, and the Seventh Day Adventist.

The deben- tures, at the option of the purchaser, can be con- verted into common shares of PWA stock with a value of $24 per share. The money raised with the issue, Montgomery said, will be applied to the cor- porate debt, and any re- maining capital will be plowed into CPAL opera- tions. With its sudden jump into the big leagues of air carriers, PWA is faced with a number of wide- ranging organizational decisions to be made. Ex- ecutive committees have New directors of office. The directors are also paid $300 annual- ly for sitting on the board of the Kitimat-Stikine Regional Hospital District. The bylaw will come up for final ratification at the board’s next meeting Jan. 17. The increase is the first raise for regional district directors since 1983. ROAD IMPROVEMENTS SOUGHT The Whitebottom Road is a disused logging road that provides access to a popular fishing area on the Lakelse River. During the time since logging operations by Westar Timber were discontinued in the area the road has fallen into such a state of disrepair as to be nearly impassable. It was noted at the Dec. been struck to deal with issues such as the changing of CPAL’s name because it’s no Longer part of -the Canadian Pacific group of companies. PWA uses Air Canada’s computer sys- tem for scheduling and reservations, but that ar- rangement is no longer workable because PWA and Air Canada are now in direct competition with one another. Duplicate in- ventories, co-ordination of personnel and elimina- tion of parallel timetables will also have to be ad- dressed. Montgomery said these matters will be work- ed out ‘‘over the next few months”. CPAL_head- quarters, she said, will re- main in Vancouver. Although PWA_ was owned at one point by the Alberta government, after ‘the company’s ownership went public the, govern- ment’s share dropped to 1.5 percent. That last re- maining interest was divested this year. Mont- gomery pointed out that by law no more than four percent of the company’s shares can be held by a single stockholder. Montgomery explained that the ownership of CPAL'‘ is set up under a holding company, as In- vestments, PWA Leasing, Pacific Western Holidays, and a 45 percent interest in Time Air. . — continued from page 1 13. meeting by directors Bev Rodrigo and Ruth Hallock that many tourists had complained during the summer about _ difficult access to many local areas outside the paved highway and road system. Director Joanne Mon- aghan, who is also B.C. vice-president of the Yellowhead Highway Association, proposed successfully that letters be sent to the Ministry of Highways, Ministry of Tourism, the Yellowhead Highway Association and the North by Northwest Tourism Association in a lobbying effort to secure improvements for secon- dary road systems. Monaghan’s motion in- cluded the intent to establish priority roads for an improvement program throughout the regional district. Director Pete Weeber ‘pointed out that the Ministry of Highways will “avoid (such an arrange- ment) like the plague’ because if the ministry undertakes maintenance once, the road becomes a permanent jurisdiction. Weeber suggested a new category of road is re- quired, a ‘‘tourist access’’ road, which the highways crews could maintain on a demand basis for the Ministry of Tourism. It was decided that pressure should be applied to both ministries: Direc- tor Rodrigo stated, ‘‘We need to impress them with the importance of these secondary roads.’’ The next meeting of the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District board is scheduled for Jan. 17 in Terrace.
