Police launch crime
prevention programs |

Constable Larry York,
newly appointed Police
Community Crime
Prevention officer, will
shortly be launching a series

. Of programs to encourage

the public to be more careful
about helping to prevent
crime in Greater Terrace.
With the help of Rotary
‘Centennial Lions an
Downtown Lions the Neigh-
bourhood Watch program
will shortly be conducted.
Phase one will be for
marking and identifying
valuables in Terrace homes.
The public is asked to be
prepared for a visit from a
member of a service club or
an RCMP representative
who will mark valuables in
the homes. If a break-in
occurs and these valuabies
are stolen the police will
know who the owners of the
articles are when they are

recovered,

may still not be a lock even
though it is locked.

Phase three involves.

making people aware of
their responsibility to their
neighbours by keeping alert
to strange persons on or
near the premises, York
says-one person heard a cer
puli into his neighbour's
ard and thought the neigh-

ur had returned from
vacation. The car actually
belonged to thieves who
broke into the house. Had
the neighbour been more
suspicious of the car the
thieves would have been
apprehended, says York.

tatistics are showing that
Neighbourhood Watch
programs in other parts of
the province are working, In
some communities crime is
reduced by 75 percent where
it has been high.

Lack of transport. not acceptable

Don Lockstead, New
Democrat M.L.A. for
Mackenzie, has described as
“entirely unacceptable” the
response of Transport
Minister Jack Davis when
questioned in the
Legislature as to why the
Queen of Prince Rupert
cannot stop at Ocean Falls.

Recently, Mr. Davis could
not explain why the Queen of
Prince Rupert sits idle and

fully crewed at Topaz Bay

on northern Vancouver

Island while the community .

of Ocean Falls is without

shipping service due to the
breakdown of the motor
vessel Lumba Lumba. The
question was put to Mr.
Davis by Mr. Lockstead
during question period.

“I fear we have gone from
bad to worse,” Mr.
Lockstead commented
later, ‘‘At first the Social
Credit government
displayed simple Ignorance
of the shipping crisis on the
central coast. Now they are
demonstrating outright
arrogance. The reply of Mr.
Davis shows that Social

Credit does not care about
Ocean Falls and the other
coastal communities which
are denied shipping ser-
vice.’’

Mr, Lockstead said that,
while he. will continue to
press the government to
take action, it has become
apparent that coastal
residents must not relax

_their protests against the

negligence of the Social
Credit government. ‘‘More
action than ever is needed,”
he said.

‘Mayor wants better lighting

Mayor Gordon Rowland
has received support from
Skeena M.L.A." Cyril
Shelford in his bid to obtain
adequate lighting for High-
way 16 through Terrace
from the Dudley Little
Bridge westward. . :

Rowland wrote Shelford
expressing his concern
about the lighting problem

on Highway 16 as mentioned
above noting that motorists
cross a well lit bridge
allowing their eyes to adjust
to these ideal conditions.
However, when they leave
the bridge they suddenly
plunge into darkness.
Drivers facing this sudden
change find it very difficult
to see and the condition

creates a traffic hazard,
especially when it rains.

Shelford has written to the
Minister of Highways and
Public Works, Alex Fraser,
asking him to look into this
matter and take action
before, as Shelford states,
someoneis killed walking on
the road.
