Big interest apparent
for local car club

‘Although they don’t as yet
have an official name, the car
club in Terrace is definitely a go-
ing thing. They recently held a
meeting at the Kin Hut to elect a
board of officers and to get
themselves organized. The
meeting was very well attended.

Bob Wilkinson, who was
elected correspondent along
with Maureen Rowlett, acted as
spokesman. A fee structure of
$25 every six months was voted
and passed. Everyone agreed
that splitting the yearly dues. in
half and collecting them every
six months would make it easier
for everyone to pay without
straining their budget.

A club name contest and a
logo contest will be held. The
winners will receive.a $50 gift
certificate from a local
automotive outlet. Ideas for
fund raising, a newsletter, and
future events, such. as displays
during Terrace Riverboat Days
and show n’shines, were also
discussed. The next meeting is
set for March 27, time and place
to be announced,

When asked how the idea for
a car club came about, Wilkin-
son said that he and Rowlett at-
tended several car club meetings
and shows while visiting the
United States last year, collect-
ing as much information as they
could.

The car club will not be ex-
clusive to vintage cars, although
they will certainly be one part of
it. The club is open to all special
interest cars. The categories are

described as vintage, street rods,

and muscle cars.

One club member who owns
two Model T’s remarked that a
number of people in Terrace
don’t realize how many vintage
and special interest cars are
located here. He is currently
restoring a 1927 Ford Coupe
(Model T), of particular interest
to him because he was born init.

Wilkinson added that you
don’t have to own a car to join
the club; the club is open to
anyone. Give Bob Wilkinson a
call at 638-8585. (Wilkinson

more information.

Old railway terminal
could draw tourists

The city’s tourism and economic
development officer and a few city
aldermen will be visiting the old
CNR Kwinitsa Tunnel, 65 kilo-
metres west of Terrace, to investi-
gate its potential as a tourist attrac-
tion.

The idea that the now-abandoned

tunnel be used as a foot-traffic,
historical tourist site was first
proposed by alderman Bob Cooper.
According to Cooper, the tunnel
was built by an Italian tunnel
building crew around 1910 and
should perhaps be developed as an
historical site or a provincial park.

° Market cover near approval

Terrace city council has viewed of a metal frame supporting a a lockable power service for the

plans for a seasonal shelter at the
Davis St. Farmers Market and

offered their approval in principle.
The only stipulation is that the
shelter be removed to allow the
dumping of snow on the city-
owned property during winter

Saturday momings during the

season. The frame would be sup-
ported by sockets cast in concrete,
making seasonal set-up and
removal relatively simple.
