a feast

Tt was good hunting for
diners attending the annual
game banquet at the Lakelse

hotel in Terrace Friday’

evening,

’ The Red and Gun Club
Sponsors the dinner as part
of its fund raising efforts, but
this year the club will be
lucky if they break even.

“The turnout was a bit less
than expected,” admitted

organizer Bob Garrett,
referring to the 80 to 90

- people who paid $20 apiece
for the privilege of sampling
just about every kind of meat
imaginable,

The diners didn't let that
faze them as they sampled
1 Qelicacies ranging from
duck and deer to grouse and
bear meat,

Served with table wine, the
dinner proved as en-
tertaining as the dancing and
merrymaking which
followed.

Garrett noted that “an
awfull lot of preparation
went into this” and at-
tributed the disapoointing
turnout to ‘‘ a very poor
selection of nights on our
part.” .

The keynote speakers
were Don Santano the
president of the B.C. Wildlife
Federation, and Frank
Howard, the MLA for
‘Skeena.

Not all the sports action on the weekend is professional or eve

Frank Howard, the NDP
MLA for Skeena, indicated
Friday that he is generally
pleased with Premier

nnett’s cabinet - shuffle.
Howard said the movement
of Bob McClelland out of the
health portfolio in favour of
Rafe Mair, may result in
better response on the future
of Skeenaview. Howard also
thought the new education
minister, Brian Smith, will
be more responaive to local
Igsues such as the closure of
the Two Mile school in
Hazelton.

The MLA for Skeena was
also pleased over the
retentlon of two other
ministers.

“Jim Hewitt has a con-
Unuity of interest in the
agriculture portfollo and
should allow for continuity of
programa and an eénhan-
cement of the agriculture
industry in thig area," he
said. “Jim Chabot waa the
minister responsible for
taking the first steps in the
development of the Lakelse
hotsprings and that
development should con-
tinue.”’ "I think the potential
of the hotsprings may not
have been appreciated by a
new minister.”’

Howard was critical of the
size of the cabinet, noting

“there are 19 ministers as

He said the situation will
result in “absolute
domination by the cabinet
over the caucus.”

“The only way in which
there can be a reasonable
opportunity to check and
balance .agalnst an
authoritarian cabinet is by
way of extensive use of the
legislative committees,” he
sald. So far the committees
of the legislature have been
denied any opportunity to
function and the absence of
any reference thereto by the
Premier Indicates that he
wants to keep It that way."
Howard said he is urging
Premier Bill Bennelt to
allow the commiltees to
function.
