"Howard annoyed -
with B.C. Timber

KEITH ALFORD
Herald Staff Writer
TERRACE —5Skeena MLA Frank Howard has justat about
given up waiting for B.C. Timber to get its employees back
to work.
He is upset that two days after the B.C, Timbér president

visited Terrace, it was announced that that: company's ~

mills would not open on Sept. 7as planned.

Although an announcement has been made that the mills
may open the week of Sept. 20, Howard feels there are too,
many “maybes" and “indefinites” in that pronouncement.
Even if the mills do reopen, 250-300 fewer people will, be

working than previously. The reason B.C. Timber gives for’ ,

delaying the opening is ita unsold pulp inventory, -
Howard says, we can't continue to live in the hope that

-something beneficial will happen." -

Therefore he has sent a letter to Don Phillips, minister of
industry and small business, and Tom Waterland, minister -
of forestry, to attend an exploratory conference on ways to
achieve alternate employment in the Skeena area, He |
would like to see the municipal ‘councils | of Terrace,
Hazelton, and New Hazelton involved; as ‘well as the .
Regional District of .Kitimat-Stikine. He hopes. that -
mernbers of the labor movement and chambers: of com-

“merce would also be interested. Indeed, Howard wants the’

conference open to anybody with an ‘Totereat in the job
situation, —. oe
He defines: “alternate “employment” as anything other
than the lumber industry. -
- Howard is not the only political figure concerned with
seeking new poasibilities for the Terrace area, .°
Alderman David Gellately saw his recommendation pass.
