The $94,000 for the outdoor

He said he was optimistic
that the special fund-raising
committee, headed by McRae
and Yeo, both prominent
business men, would come up

with the moniés needed to

finance the overall complex,.

which would bring Terrace
into the arena and convention

Rowland’s motion came at
the close of councils meeting.
- "LT move that Upper Little

Park be the site of the Cen- -

tennial project," — said
Rowland. Council members
stiffened. .

Jolliffe gave each member

of council time to present his
argument for or against the
surprise motion.
_ “Based on a draft from our
planners, Souter and Condie,
plus research of my own, I
would like to say I don't favor
Upper Little Park,” said Ald,
Clift. °

He said he. favored River-
side Park-and that the arena,
being an ““industrial type’
building could eventually de
used as a warehouse beside
the Canadian National
Rallway tracks..

But, he added, it could serve

as a rink for 10 to 15 years,
until the arena fund situation
was on its feet.

“I Feel all that has been:

asked for is a sheet of ice,

where young people can skate

OMe.

“The simple reason is we
haven’t got the dollars,” Clift
added.

-He sald the Little Park site
was “the best location'’ but he
pleaded to council, “Please

. FULL LIF ;
Milne said Burns lived a full,
but short Hfe and was not
without troubles. He was born in
Ayreshire 1764 and died at the
age of 37 in 1794.
“But he did not pass away
form’ the thoughts of man,”
Milen said “As long as man
recognizes the hills of the
highiands, men will. celebrate
and I love him. He is the im-
mortal embodiment of

| Scotland.””

“He is the immortal bard,”
Milne said.”

Burns Night, he said, is
unique, It is celebrated the
world over.

“It is with the thoughts of
Burns that eradicate men’s

.4ifferences everywhere,”

Burns loved, though his own
love affair with Jean Armour
was unhappy.

He tried farming, he said, but
his farm was not a success and
it fell to the taxman.

Yet Burns wrote over 200

songs and poems. Auld Lang’

Syne .is one, Scots wa’ ha’e
another. A poem to a Field

- Mouse.

Earthy songs. Songs of the
people, of love of ane’s land.

And, Saturday night in
Terrace, the immortal bard was
honored’ and goodwill as
abundent as ‘the sperits’”’.

“Need a new one at the Skeena

_ “We're extremely happy to
hear the announcement,” said
Stan Patterson, chamber
president, “Eventually, it will
a tremendous boost to our

economy and growth,”

Little, in his eail, said the
fovernment has already bought

e beams and other necessary
parts for the bridge.

Mayor Victor Jolliffe said he
was “extremely pleased”.

“This will tie in Stewart and
the rest (roadwork) would be
built quite quickly...but we
must remember that this is a
forestry access bridge at this

int.”’

“But,” he added, “even this
will assist in making Terrace

the distribution center of the
entire northwest.’’,

“We cannat help but to grow,
and the Nass area will be
developed which would be not
only to théir benefit, but to
ours.”” soe

The mayor added that a
proposed superport at either

itimat or Prince Rupert would
also boost the- local econom:
and speed up population grow

patterns. :

Jolliffe added he felt Kitimat,
because of-its harbor industr
and its nearness to the new lin
north, would be the best location
for the port.

“If it is built there, then we |.

stand to gain much more than if
it were to be built in Prince
Rupert,” Jolliffe said,

“I'm in complete agreement
with what Ald. Clift has to
say;'’ sald Ald. McAlpine
when his turn came. “I agree

tastefully designed, but
looking around you can’t see
any desthetle building built at
such an enormous cost.
| “— don’t see how we can
afford it,” he added.
’_ ,.DEFENDS SITE
Rowland jumped to its
defense. . .
“The reason I picked Little

Park was because of the
beautiful area it seemed to
me. I'd hate to be the fiadnee

committee raising funds and -
have to say that (Riverside)

was only a temporary site.'’
“This wili turn into a
heautiful site in 10 to 25
years,” .
Johnstone turned thumbs
down.

“T have been giving it a lot
of thought, Upper Little Park
(as the site) is putting the cart
before the horse,”

“To ge ag with Ald,
McAlplne and Clift that until
snow is yone, being an old-:
timer in town, my feelings are

BENNETT'S BOOST

Another aid to Terrace was
Premier W.A.C. Bennett's
recent announcement that
1,000 additional jobs are bein
created in the provincia

- government to ease unem-

oyment.
Walker gaid several of those
jobs. will be in Terrace.
; But as helpful as these steps-
may he, the general picture 1s
still uneasy.
Winter i's
‘slack employment time,
Walker said, and.some jobs
may open up in April or | ay.
While Manpower is trying to

’ help the unemployed, the

unemployed must also help
themselves, Walker said.

In the planning now is a
Manpower course on creative
techniques for finding jobs.

“An unemployed person can
be discouraged quite quickly.
He must take a real good look
at himself,” Walker said.

ASSESS TALENTS

A man or woman without a
job should assess their talents
and put them on paper. They
should check with friends,
relatives and neighbors to

A meeting of the Kitimat-
Stikine Regional District has
been postfoned for a second
time.,

The meeting, originally

‘scheduled for January 20, will

now be held February 3. It will

chambers,

learn about jobs.

“We don’t want to take over
from People their initiative to
find a job, We want to be an
information center, to act as a
catalyst,” he said.

Walker said he would like ta
see a closer working
relationship between Man-
power and industry. -

“There may be some blame
to ourselves and to the in-
dustry. What we want is mare
feedback from the industry on
the type of person they are
looking for, the type of
training they want.”

At the Manpower Center
Tuesday, five job openings
were listed for men in Terrace
and one for a woman. All the
men's jobs required special
skis -in mechanics or
operating machinery and the
woman’s job was for a hair-
dresser.

NO FLOOD
The training courses,
Walker stressed, do not turn
oul a flood of workers all at

once,

“We start them every three
months. We don’t get a dozen
or 15 coming-on the market at
the same time,” he said.

Another way to dent
unemployment. m this area.
Walker said, is to go ahea
with planned construction
projects now, creating work.

Complicating the job
market here are transient
workers.

“They create a job turn-
over which certainly gives
more people opportunity. But
it’s an unhealthy picture for
the transient who hasn't much
in the way of skills. In almost
all cases, they are non-
tradesmen,  non-skilled
workers,” he said,

Another factor are a
number of illegal immigrants
wha are working in jobs
Canadians could be filling.
Walker said’ he had no way of
knowing the extent of the
problem but he feels it does
exist in this area, .

Did you know that —

@ the air you breathe in your

than the air outdoors!

add.to indoor air polfution!

The facts about air pollution are startling and serious.
Recognizing this, hospitals have for years used the one
and only sanitation system that effectively combats in-
door air pollution. Developed over 40 yéars ago and con-
_ tinually improved since, this sanitation system has beea
proven in use wherever pure air is a critical requirement:
it is used, for example, to clean interiors on nuclear sub-
marines, research laboratories, operating rooms and jet

aircraft.

This identical sanitation system is available today to
any homeowner or apartment resident.
