Light
show

for

oldsters

A ‘light show” is usually for
the young,

But Tuesday, some 50
Terrace old-timers took part in
their own version ... a Christ-
mas lights tour.

The event was sponsored by
the Downtown Lion's Club and
ineluded a bus tour of the lights
and a luncheon afterward.

The Senior Citizens — fro
both the Skeenaview Hospital
and local residents -- boarded
buses at Veritas Hall for a tour
of some of Terrace’s ornately
decorated homes.

LUNCH
Following the tour, the guests
were treated to a lunch of
sandwiches and cookies at
Veritas Hall. And they joined in
singing with organ player Brian
Gimble.

Chairman of the event was
Gary Pattison.

Doug Hartman, president of
the Downtown Lion’s, said that
the aggregate age of six of the
Guests at one table was 450
years. ‘‘That’s an average of 76
years,” he said.

BEST DECORATED

Homes the Senior Citizens
considered best decorated,
Hartman said, were the
Campbell residence on Kalum
Street and The Motel on High-
way 16.

The tour is an annual event.

THE SKI TRAIL

Canadian Ski Association Western Division

This is the fifth year of in-
ternational ski competition for
the coveted World Cup trophy,
and if the first two meets are
any indication, Canada has a
good chance to grab the Cup for
a third time.

Young Betsy Clifford of Ot-
tawa swept up a gold medal in
the women’s special slalom at
Val d’Isere, France, and has
collected a total of 25 World Cup
poinis to date. Miss Clifford, a
three-year member of the
National Ski Team, has set her
Boal at two gold medals in the
1972 Winter Olympics at Sap-
poro, Japan, just over a year
from now, At the rate she is
going this season, she just may
achieve that goal!

Canadian men are not faring
so well in wortd competition,
but veterans Peter Duncan and
Keith Shepherd have turned in
some good times. World Cup
competition wit) resume in
January at Berchtesgaden,
Germany.

A pre-season poll of ski
writers around the world picked
Michele Jacot and Patrick
Russell, both of France, to take
the 1971 World Cup. Canada's
Miss Clifford was ranked ninth,
following five French girls, two
Americans and an Austrian.

Snowmob

The B.C. Snow-Vehicle

provincial govermment to set
up legislation regulating use of

highways and railroad right-of- |,
way, that operators be obliged
to wear safety helmets, and that
hunting or chasing wildlife by

brief is an attempt to get sane
legislation on the books before
snowmobiles become a serious
problem in B.C.

is modelled on legislation in

newstands,
_ The magazine, - called
“Paddlewheels on- the Fron-
tier” depicts the growth and
development of the interior of
the province with the stern-
wheelers carrying passengers
and supplies to open up new
areas along the Skeena and
Fraser Rivers. ;
Starting with the story of ‘the
pioneer ship, the 60-foot long
vessel, Union, which first
navigated the Skeena in 1864,
the author, Art Downs, of
Surrey, follows the history of
the sternwheelers through their
hazardous trips as far inland to
Hazelton, which was a. main
supply base at that time,
WELL-ILLUSTRATED
The book is well-illustrated
with many pictures of old-time
ships and accounts of their rival
trips for speed and freight.
Although some of the ships only
drew 18 inches of water, several
came to grief on sandbars and
rocky shores of the river and
were left there to rot away.

Inlander, went down -in i912
