Just About Octember ...
There was a startling revelation poentainly that's what Mr. Pickers-

made in the north last week, One thot
must surely have jarred a lot of people
to the teeth,

We learned that Canada's Govern-
ment will pay for our Terrace airport
improvements,

Not the Opposition or anyone else—
just the Government.

Well now — we think that's right
nice of those fine, big-hearted Liberal
gentlemen, We expected a Centennial
gesture but nothing quite that magnani-
mous.

Don't get. us wrong — we are merely

giving out thanks on the basis of a taped
interview with Transport Minister Pick-
ersgill.
. Asked to comment on the recent
flash- -in-the-pan flareup regarding Ter-
race airport allocations, the Honorable
gentleman told a television news reporter
there wos really nothing to worry about
as “it will be paid for by the Government
and not the Opposition or by a repre-
sentative of the Opposition,”

That being the case — we suppose
it doesn't really matter whether the
allocation is $700,000 in one year, or
$200,000 in one year as long as some-
body else is paying tor it.

vote for him again, should the
opportunity arise again.

Re: North-South Relircad
A few years back a provin-
cial NDP candidate {not elect-
ed) proposed a railroad extend:
ing north from Hazelton to
someplace.
Today we have the ridiculous
picture of our Federal MP.
(also NDP), supporting the
same’ nonsense.
Why doesn’t someone ex-
plain to the NDP that the “A”
route to Alaska originating at

Hazelton — starts at NO
PLACE ‘and ends the same
place. :

Here are some hard headed
facts about the two possible
routes viz:

1, Kitimat - Terrace - Na sq
Route. This route is a banana
belt. It would feed five pas-

try. It would never be over
1000 feet above sea level until
it reaches the Bell-Lrving River,
It would be a ‘continuation
of 2 10,000 mile west coast
communication route extending
from the Southern tip of South
America to Alaske. It would
have 58 more frost-free days
per year than the Hazelton
Toute. It is already partially.
opened up and it is the differ.
ence between Northern B.C.
having a mining boom or bust!:
NOW — let's have a look vat

look over his ‘proposed | route
(up the Kispiox), he will find
that what is referred to as
Swan ‘Lake at the headwaters
of the Kispiox is NOT one lake.
It involves na less than 1000
strip lakes running In a south
easterly direction, none of.
which have anything whatso-
ever to recommend them for
the future,

‘The area involved is high’
country, swampy, barren —!
and would be a disgrace to the:
intelligence of the present gen-
eration,

Any flier, who knows the.
north, will tell you that the ice
goes out in Mezziadin and Bow-
ser Jakes and the Nass River,
weeks ahead of the Swan Lake
{s) country.

Any geologist will tel you
that the mining powerlumber
industries would best be served
by tne Kijtimat-Terrace-Nasa
route,

In short — any person who
supports the NDP concept of
northern development uld
take a hard look at the resent
known tacts,

Ié our Federal MP wants to
do. something for Northern

LETTERS to the EDITOR...

The Editor, Terrace Herald:

As the chaplains of Skeena-
view Hospital, we think we
should say something about the
present conflict between the
Psychialric Nurses Association
and the Provincial Government.

The psychiatric nurses do a
yery mecessary work. In our
Skeenaview Hospital, there are

tients which Mills . Memorial
will hold after its expansion. |
Many of the patients have no
relatives or friends, or if they
do, the relatives or friends are
unable or unwilling to help
them. Again there are those
beyond all reasonable hope of
any cure. These must be looked
aiter patiently and kept clean
end comfortable when nothing
else can be done, Jt is difficult
and frustrating work. It is ur-
gently necessary. work, It is
work which nearly all of us
recognize as a public responsi-
bility.

We, the taxpayers, the voting
public, employ psychiatric
nurses to do this work which
we recognize as our responsi-
bility. As a grolp over 90% of
them in B,C, work for the Pro-
vince), those we see at Skeena-
view Hospital are patient,
skilled and _good-humoured.
They have forced both of the
writers to admire their. efforts

their work has continiied™ ‘ii
spite of unduly low salaries,

‘It is not the purpose of- this
letter to praise the psychiatric
nurses, It is rather 40 draw at-
tention to the fact that the
same nurses are concerned
about the future of the Mental
Health Service in 8,C, Through
their association, they contend

fectiveness of the Mental
Health Service, is “threatened
by the low level of their own
salaries. It would appear that
for the Jack of money, psychiat-
ric nurses are one. by one being
forced out of the profession,
For the same reason, their re-
placements tend to be of less
