Do you know that zucchini offers a mere five calories per ounce,
while contributing vitamins A and C, along with iron, calcium, part
of the B complex, niacin, riboflavin and thiamine? Combining the
zucchini with cheese and/or milk naturally boosts ‘protein and
calcium levels. With that in mind, bake your heart out and enjoy!

Landmark falls to

fire practice

. Another Terrace landmark tumed

to ashes at 8 p.m, on Sept.4.
On that. beautiful windless ¢ve-
ning, a column of black smoke
rose straight into the sky from the
cauldron of flames roiling for
hundreds of feet over what had
once been the Fisher family home
in the 3100 block of Sparks Street.
The Terrace firemen were prac-
tising their skills, so that the rest
of us may be better protected.
The house being destroyed had

_ been built SO years ago by Fred

Fisher, who arrived in Terrace with
his family from Manitoba in 1936.

"T remember the house so well,”
said granddaughter Penney (Fisher)
Liewelyn. "I remember coming up
the path and sceing him working

with his leather out there on the .
-porch. He was a leather worker,

and when he first came here he
worked as a harness maker for

_ Little, Haugland and Kerr.

"And I remember how upset he
was after Grandma died in 1963,
and we came in to clear out the
attic and cupboards. There was

such a wonderful collection there,

Grandma was a great saver.

"The house was rented in later
years. Molly Bush and her family
lived there for some time, but I
lost track after awhile."

Descendants still residing in
Terrace, besides Penney, are the
grandchildren, Flora Jean Kerr at
Lakelse Lake; Hud (Howard)
Fisher and wife Denise (Diagle)
with their children; Danny Fisher
and his wife Rose (Ziegler).
Sharon is in Smithers.and Pat has
just moved to Saltspring Island;
Andrew (Kerr) is in the Kootenays.

The original family has gone:
their daughter Gladys (Kerr), and
one of the sons, Jack, is in Mani-
toba; Jerry has died and Hud
(William Howard) has moved to
Kamloops.

As the fire diminished, the chim-
ney which had been standing sen-
tinel until the last minute, went
down with a thump and the crowds
began to head for home.
