Bingo palace employee Marilyn Thodt said the bingo, starting at 12:45 p.m. Dec. 8, will be run by members from the Terrace lodge of the Order of the Royal Purple. All the pro- ceeds will go to Mr. and Mrs. David Milton, the elderly couple whose nephew perished in the Juanita Hatton was selling raffle tickets in support of the annual Christmas Goody Bags in the Skeena Mall during the last weekend in November. It’s the 24th year that Juanita, under her Golden Rule umbrella, has organized this service for the needy at Christmas. Raffle tickets will also be on sale at the Terrace Co-op on December 16, 18 and 21. . On December 24, from Lakelse High (across from Dairy Queen), Juanita and any volunteers willing to lend a helping hand will distribute seven days of food provisions to anyone applying for it. Each recipient must sign in and provide their full name and address and swear that they are not receiving foodstuffs from any other agency.

Winners will be announced on CFTK and in the following | SPCA urges animal owners» to provide good winter care Contributed by Lonna Fisher We thought it was time for another article. First, we would like to let all the concerned people who called regarding the four horses we seized in Usk know that all four horses are now happily living in Prince George. We have been out on several calls concerning horses. With winter now here, it is important that your horses have some extra weight on their bodies. A horse that is al- ready thin is not going to have the. added protection that a horse of proper weight will have during the cold weather ahead. All animals being kept outside require some sort of shelter, to cut the wind and protect them from - the rain and snow. A three-sided shelter with a roof will provide a decent shelter for your livestock. A cardboard box does not make a proper shelter for a dog, especially in wet weather, and yet we have had several calls complaining about dogs being sheltered in a wet cardboard box. A dog house made of wood or metal is not that hard to build and with some kind of dry bedding inside makes a very cozy shelter for your dog dur- ing the cold wet days coming up. On behalf of the SPCA we would like to ask you to make sure all your animals have the basics of life, namely shelter, food and water. In order for the SPCA to do its work in Terrace,we depend on public donations. As agents we do receive some support from the main branch in Vancouver, but once we get the branch of the SPCA going we will be depending entirely on public donations, Our first branch meeting was held at. the Inn of the West on Thursday, Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m. Thank you to everyone who turned out. Last year during the holiday season we were very fortunate to have two very successful week- ends of fund raising at the Skeena Mall. Our display included our two dogs wearing their harnesses with donation cans attached, which many children and adults enjoyed putting their donations into, With the money collected \ we were able to carry out our work for this year. Unfortunately, the Skeena Mall has refused to allow us and our dogs space this holiday season. Therefore we are depending on the public sending their donations by mail to SPCA, 3836 Kirkaldy St, _ Terrace, B.C. V8G 3M8, or making a direct deposit to our account at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. We will also have calendars for sale again this year. If you wish to buy a calendar, or require some information on the SPCA or have a concer regarding the care of an animal, give us a call at 635-3826 (Lonna Fisher) or 635-4366 (Rose Higbie). On behalf of the SPCA we would like to wish you, your family and your animals a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. © ‘i ‘A Polly’s Gafe - Chinese & Western Cuisine Mon.—Thurs. 10:30 a.m. — midnight Fri, & Sat, 10:30 am. — 14.m.

Both coastal commun- ities say their economic and social ties are with Prince Rupert, and for that reason they say they would like to leave the Regional District of Kitimat- Stikine and join the Regional District of Skeena-Queen Char- lotte. The request came up at the October regional board meeting, and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs has since told the Regional District of Kitimat- Stikine they have no objection to the change, provided all parties agree. This has set the stage for a meeting between the Kitkatla and Hartley Bay band councils and the regional district board. The change seems to make sense and would have little effect on the regional district. Hartley Bay, population 214 (1986), is located at the southern entrance to Douglas Channel and Kitkatla, population 421, is situated on the northern shore of Dolphin Island about 55 kilo- metres duc south of Prince Rupert, The only transportation to the outside world is by either float plane or boat, and both communities are part of School District #52, Prince Rupert. There would be little financial impact if the change takes place: Kitkatla and Hartley Bay repre- sent a tax base of $120,000 to the regional district, The only real effect would be a slight weakening of the voice of the 3,705 remaining residents in Electoral Area ’C’. The regional district voting unit is 2,000 and reducing the population from 4,340 to 3,705 reduces the Area ’C’ director’s weighted voting strength from three to two, Area ’C’ consists of the region from Rosswood south excluding Terrace, Thorn- hill and Kitimat. iSAFACT OF LIFE + ae, Your Lung Association Fri - Sat 14:30 a.m, — £00 a.m. Sunday 2:00 a.m, 10:00 pin. 4643 Park Averiue 635-6111 NOON - 2:00 P.M.
