I think going down as an alternate or observer is an inspiration. They get used to their community and then they go down there and go, wow.” Volunteers needed If you’ve got a few hours to spare on a Tuesday or Thurs- day and like kids, then Debra Zorn would like to hear from you. She looks after the Skeena Health Unit's baby clinics and says there is a “*desperate’” need for volunteers to help out with weighing and measuring the infants. _ Although the clinic.is currently getting help from ‘‘some - wonderful ladies’, Zorn says the shortage of volunteers means they are carrying a heavy load, And with summer holidays looming, the centre urgently needs some exira helpers, _ The clinics are held every Tuesday, 9:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m. _ and 1:30 p.m.-4 p.m, and the first and third Thursday of each month, £:30 p.m.-4 p.m. _ .zorn said no lifting is required — the mothers do that — but: people are needed to record the weights and Measurements and to do ensure the whole process flows smoothly.

After a couple of days in Vancouver, they headed back to Terrace in the new Nash on the front of which John had painted ‘‘Jotin's Taxi’’.
