For Exaimple .. .

Take Quesnel for example,

The population of that community
is 5,976

Terrace's population is 8,366.

Quesnel has over 400 young boys
playing Minor Hockey.

We have none.

The reason is simple, They hqve an
ice arena and we don’t have an ice arena.

in the past this newspaper has been

accused of trying to put the squelch on
local attempts to focus attention on the
need for an ice arena here. Our accusers
are ail wet. We want an ice arena just
as much as the next guy.

What we have attempted to do is
give the taxpayers @ true picture of the
costs involved and then leave the deci-
sion up to them,

There is really no reason why Terrace
shouldn't and couldn't have such a
facility.

Aside from money that is!

In Quesnel, toxpayers pay one and
a half to two mills each year in order
to keep their arena operable. We too
could do something similar. In Quesnel,
the local government (and this of course
means the taxpayers) picks up the tab
for an annual operating deficit of close
to $8,000,

Make no mistake — it’s going to
cost you some money.

But it’s well worth the expenditure.

of the Quesnel Cariboo Observer in
which three full pages of pictures
appear. They are pictures of young, heal-
thy, happy faces sticking out above bulky
uniform sweaters.

We're sure no-one in Terrace would
ever deny that our youngsters are our
Stake in the future. Anything we can do
te assure the protection of that stake’
is of the utmost importance.

Just’ one thing bothers us — why
doesn’t the Provincia! Government also
recognize the importance of B.C.'s
youth, We have a Provincial Department
of Parks and Recreation. Most of its
time and money is spent on making
everything comfortable and enticing for
tourists.

How about funnelling some of those
funds into the smaller Municipalities
such as Terrace for the purpose of de-
veloping recreational facilities such as
ice arenas and swimming pools?

It’s a proven fact that most smaller
municipalities simply cannot afford tc
construct and maintain these facilities
without forfeiting streets and roads or
sewer and water services.

Our Member of the Legislative As-
sembly, Mr. Dudley G. Little would do
well to plug for such a move,

Incorporation .of such a policy would
merely be an admission on the Socred’s
part that our youth is one of our most
