zine and Canada West magazine.

Creative ideas sought from
students for Power Smart

“Students in Terrace schools are
getting a chance at producing a
television commercial on the
theme of energy conservation. B.C.
Hydro has declared November
"Power Smart" month, and the
utility is looking for kids who have
a flair for promoting wise use of
electricity.

Hydro is calling for entries to
find the best creative idea for a
commercial to promote Power

Smart energy conservation pro-_

grams. "The winner will have the
great thrill of seeing an idea
become reality," said David
Brown, Hydro’s advertising mana-
ger.

Terrace area B.C. Hydro manager

Roy Staveley said last week he
can’t see any reason why a Terrace
student shouldn’t win the contest.
"They all watch TV and see
numerous commercials, so they’re
very familiar with how commer-
cials are structured."

Staveley also commented, "We
definitely want children to think -

about and understand Power Smart.
They, after all, will be key deci-
sion makers in the decades to
come and already have a tremen-
dous influence on their parents’
lifestyles.” |

Entry forms for the contest will
be distributed in local schools
starting this week. The contest
deadline is Nov. 30.
