Wanted to rent...

A VERY CASUAL look at the housing
ced accommodation situation in Terrace leads
us to wonder if tents might not be the next
order of the day.

Terrace is in trouble!

it has more families seeking places to
live than it has places to live. It has large
families crowding into small family dwel-
ling places and it has small families wait-
ing desperately for vacancies to occur.

Rents are high and they threaten to
qo even higher. We have single men and
women paying as much as $80.00 e¢ month
for one small room without cooking faci-
lities or even private bathroom facilities.
We have landlords asking as much as $250
per month for two bedraom houses, many of
which wouldn’t draw more than $70.00 a

Where does it all end? It ends in dis-
aster for young men coming to the north

' to accept new jobs and then having to re-

turn to their points of origin simply be-
cause they cannot find accommodation for
their families. Companies seeking reliable
employees are hard pressed to obtain them
when housing is at a premium,

Terrace needs low rental housing and
every moment lost in obtaining it brings
the community one step closer to chaos,
More mortgage money is needed but mort-
gage money is not as easy to obtain as
some of our Ottawa politicians would have
us believe. ‘

It’s time our Municipal, Provincial and
Federal representatives took a long, hard
look at the housing situation in the north.

The north has long since outgrown the
fog cabin stage but under present housing
pressures it may have to revert to those
sturdy little buildings in the bush.

There appears to be little or no alierna-

WITH EXAMINATION time imminent,
an article entitled "No Future Without a
Diploma"’ published in the house organ of
Cenadian Johns-Manville Co. Ltd., has
significance for high school students.

The country’s prosperity, it is stated, is
not an indication that the newcomers to
the labor market will have the assurance of
full employment if they have not complet-
ed their high school education,

The article says in part: “A lot of stu-

dents seem to think that their teachers over-
emphasize the importance of a good edu-

“Although some people have had suc-
cessful careers without diplomas, the fact
still remains that a high schoo! diploma is
required to get on the labor market today.”
Any student who really wants to further
his education these days, has many more
facilities with which to do it than there
were a few years ago. Education is the key
to success and the one that opens the door
to opportunities to fill key positions in to-
day’s compiex world.
