Tel employees and guest dined, danced and partied
‘tlh 2 a.m. ai the Thornhill Community Hall.

The ‘‘Homebrew” provided a variety of lively
music that lasted through the evening. Great-tasting
foad laid out in smorgasborg fashion soon disap-
peared as the voracious appetites of the crowd were
satistied. The many different nationality dishes were
capably provided by the Branch 13 Legion Ladies.

Approximately 30 people came attired in various

costumes of ethnic origin that created an interesting |

and sometimes humoraus atmosphere,

Two Yukon mickeys raffled were won by John

Directors.of the Regional
District of Kitimat-Stikine
supported a motion from
Director Paul Monaghan
November 19 to make
Lakelse Lake and the one
mile urea surrounding the
lake a game reserve for
waterfow] and wildlife.

This will mean that no one
will. be allowed to shoot
animalé around the lake
except licensed trappers.
Monaghan said the area is

.growing and more and more
tourists are visiting the lake’

area and the animals should

. be protected.

Monaghan protested cost-
sharing studies by
municipalities like Kitimat
for unincorporated areas
like Thornhill. Monaghan
was responding to a study
made to learn the cost of a

study on a water system in.

Thornhill,

The study would cost
$15,025 with Kitimat paying
47.9 percenl and Terrace

paying 24.4 percent.
Thornhill would pay 4.9
percent.

Monaghan said Thornhill

The most talked of issue
this week in Victoria without
question was the Monday
Election in Quebec. This will
nu doubt be the most. im-
portant event affecting all
Canadians in 1976. The
election of the Parti-
Quebecois was expected
more than a month ago as
abyiously the Liberals
rightly or wrongly were in
disfavour, not only with the
French speaking people but
also the English and im-
migrants irom other
European countries. ~

Whether Quebec will vate
to secede from the rest of
Canada in a plebiscite two
years from now is anyone’s
guess. However, most
people I talk to in Victoria
agree that the uncertainty
will hold up development in
Quebec at least until the

_ issue has been settled. This

not only effects Quebec but
all of us as it will mean less
revenue, which means less
benefits to all Canadians. No
doubt it is unfortunate the
plebiscite couldn’t be held
sooner or decide. the issue
one way or the other. I have

* confidence the rational

thinking people will decide
to keep Canada united. It
could in fact prove a
blessing in disguise in the
long run and make
Canadians decide whether
in fact they wish to stay
Canadians. Over the last 10
years nearly all groups have
an trying to get all they
can out of Confederation for
themselves with a to hell

Kitimat could not be ex-
pected to pay its own way
and then pay for Thornhill
and other outlying areas.

He also suggested if the
government was going to
pay for areas like Thornhill
they should ay
municipalities also. His
firal argument was that
Thornhill should pay for its
own studies.

The regional board
decided to write the
Minister of Municipal Af-
fairs to point out the
inequities .of cost-sharing.

Florence Bork was ap-
pointed the Thornhill
representative on the
Terrace and District Parks
and Recreation Com-
mission. Bork takes over
from Rusty Ljungh who
recently resigned. -

The Northern. Develop-
ment Council is now
recognized as the official
spokesman for northern
regional districts, according
‘to Director Paul Monaghan.
He reported NDC met with
the provincial cabinet on
November 4 and that the
Cariboo Regional District
had joined NDC. ‘

problem areas with low
income groups, we should
all try and resolve these
without special programs
for the various groups. This
was bound to cause conflict
between groups and if
continued will finally cause
open conflict.

No doubt if Quebec
decides to separate they will
have the most to lose as they
will tend to isolate them-

Paul Monaghan said the
board should object to the
exclusion of Kitimat from
subsidized ‘passenger ser-
vice. He said the present
passenger service allows for
25,000 people to use it while
there are 30,000 people in the

District. He added more

Frank Armitage said the
whole business was a
“shambles by way of
communication”. He said
places like Stewart are not

know what is happening.

According to a letter fram
B.E. Marr, Deputy Minister
of Environment, that
department is interested in
cooperating with, regional
districts in the planning of
public projects which in-
yolve crown provincial land.

Marr informed
regional board crown lands
are administered by the
department on the public’s
behalf for the benefit of the
entire province and to en-
‘sure that any development
to be undertaken on crown
land is in ,the best. public
interest, formal
authdrization must first be
obtained.

no national government

The regional board was
informed licensed premises
on Indian lands will be
established. It received
letters fram V.C. Woodland,
General Manager of the
B.C. Liquor Administration
Branch and Garde Gardom,
Attorney-General.

The Department of High-
ways is nat completely
satisfied with a regional
district proposal to establish
a rest stop or pull-out on
Highway 25 at the top of the
Kitimat River Hiil, ac-
cording to W.J. McDonald,
District Highways
Manager.

“It is agreed that this is a
natural location for, a
lookout type rest stop and
we have given considerable
thought to this subject in the
past. The only delerent to
development is the fact that
contrary to your suggestion,
traffic turning into and out
of this location Would create

The board supported a.

motion from Paul
Monaghan that it express
concern to McDonald about,
the proposal and explain
that motorists are already
using that area for a lookout
and proper develapment
and signs posted will help to
prevent accidents. — |

According to Frank Ar-
mitage the town of Stewart
is in need of grader and cat
operators. His statement
was made during discussion
of aletter from Alex Fraser,
Minister of Highways, who
said “our District Highways
Manager proposed to have
one highways grader as well
as one D-8 Cat with winch,

The regional hospital
board voted to pay the
advertising costs of ob-
taining an Ophthalmologist
(eye specialist) on a full-
time basis for Terrace and
Kitimat. The motion was
passed im response to a
request from the Mills
Memorial Hospital medical
staff to have the costs paid.
