TERRACE HERALD, TERRACE, B.C. ‘MONDAY FEBRUARY ], 197! 3 Dear Ann Landers: I am sick and tired of reading letters from ministers and parishoners who compiain about children crying in church. No wonder our places of worship are half empty. The clergymen have made the mother of a crying child feel as if she has committed some terrible crime. To me, a child's voice is music,--whether he is speaking. singing or crying. The child who cries in church is expressing | something. [t is normal. For the life of me I cannot understand why anyone would find this annoying. Much more distressing, to me, at least, is the adult who snores during the sermon. If you feel. as 1 do please help me in my crusade.-- Committee of One Dear Committee: What crusade? To promote the ac- ceptance of crying children in ehurch? Sorry, I can’t go along. Crying is indeed a normal function, but like other normal functions, there is a time and a place for it. A child who cries in church is a nuisance to the minister and lo those whe come (o hear him. 1 telephoned five clergymen and asked them which they would prefer, a crying child or a snoring adult. Four clergymen preferred the snoring adult. Dr. Preston Bradley of the People’s Church of Chicago prefers the crying baby. He said, “You can’t doa thing about a snoring adult. The crying child, however was brought in by a mather who can carry him out.” XXX Dear Ann Landers: Our daughter who was recently ANNI RANGERS announced last week that she is going to marry a widower, The wedding is planned for next spring. When 1 was told the good news, | assumed they would want to be married in the minister's study, with only the immediate families present. I suggested that following the ceremony we wauld all go to a restaurant or hotel for a festive dinner which my husband and I would host. The groom iooked very disappointed. He said he had envisioned a more elaborate affair. He viewed the wedding as an opportunity to entertain his friends and business associates. Our daughter seemed to go along with iim. What are the parental obligations to a divorced girl wilh a family? We already paid for one wedding, We also paid for the divorce. Please advise.~ Not So Merry In Maryland Dear Not So: Since the groom wants to entertain his friends and business associates, should pay for it. YOUR plan makes more sense and would be in better taste. Neither the “bridge” nor ‘'groom’’ should expect parents to pay for a deluxe bash the second time around. CENTENNIAL MEMO In 1877 HM gun vessel Rocket shelled and destroyed the coastal Indian village af Kimsquit because it was believed the villagers were implicated in the murder of some shipwreck survivors.

Rosy picture painted for forest industry “While there has been con- siderable growth in the forest industry in this area in the past 10 years, the future holds even freater promise, says the Terrace Chamber of Com- merce’s Forestry Committee report,” Data available shows that he total cut in the Prince Rupert Forest District in 1968 amounted to 232,307 cubic feet of wood which is a 38 per cent increase over the 10 year average, 1958-1969, and is triple the amount of wood cut in the year 1968." The report said. It added: within this same 10 year period the tolal population of the Terrace trading area in- creased 50 per cent from 52,000 to 80,000 and the gross income more than doubled from $7712 million to $184-million. “Now let's look at the future,” the report said. The Prince Rupert Forest District covers 79 million acres which is an area approximately the size of Skeena logging growing Norway. “The District contains 31- million acres of forest lands and over 90 billion cubic feet of nature timber and a potential allowable cut of approximately 836 million cubic feet of which 645 million cubic feet is on public sustained yield units.” It added that the challenge of) the next 25 years is the orderly development and utilization of the additional 600-million cubic feet of allowable cul in the area, “What are the implications of the potential annual increased cut of 8 million cubic feet? asked the report. | increase he - Council approves realty subsidy Both L.E, Pruden Realty Ltd. and Thornhill Realty of Terrace have been given the green light lo claim a 20 per cent municipal participatory grant to assist them in providing services to new subdivisions. Terrace Municipal Council agreed to allow them to knock off the 20 per cent of costs at its last meeting. Council allowed the. grant after a motion was put to the floor by Ald. Lloyd Johnstone, In aletter addressed to clerk- administralor John Pousette, Pruden pointed oul that a municipal bylaw requires him lo reconnect existing services to the six inch water and sewage line to be installed on Park Ave. and Munroe St. WHOSE RESPONSIBILTY? “T do not feel that this should be a responsibility for which I have to pay,”’ Pruden wrote, He said earlier correspondence with the municipality made no mention of the reyuiremtni, Because of this, Pruden told council “that reconnection of these lines should have no effect on me or my company." Pruden added: ‘I am advised that no funds remain in the 1970 budgel for the 20 per cent participatory grant,” “In this regard, since it is not possible to proceed with water and sewer line installation until the frost leaves the ground, it is probable that funds will have been budgeted by that time and I would ask this letter be treated entitled, as a formal application for a 20 per cent Participatory Grant’ and that consideration be given to your deleting the amount of the grant fram the amount of the deposit required..”’ THORNHILL Thornhill made its formal application for the 20 per cent municipal aid to connect water and sewer installations on Straume Ave., west of Munroe St. intersection, Total cost, Thornhill said, was $$11 342,27, The town’s share, it added, would come to $2268.45, False claims prove costly A resident of Terrace who had fraudulently obtained unem- ployment insurance benefits by making false stalements concerning her employment and earnings, was handed a fine of $150. or 42 days by Judge C.J.
