Litter campaign gains Terrace Jaycees’ support

TERRACE — The Ter- race Jaycees have spon- sored a litter barrel on Walsh Avenue and have issued a challenge to other service clubs.

by Phillp Musselman

To sponsor a_ litter barrel for the Terrace Clean up campaign, a service club or individual pays $200 for installation and a label with the sponsor’s. name on the barrel. Installation is done by the City of Ter- race and the campaign is

‘the brainchild of Alder-

man Doug Smith, with the help of Terrace’s McDonald’s manager, Malcolm Hilcove.

According to Jim Bell, representative of the Ter- race Jaycees, the challenge -has not been taken by very many of the Terrace service clubs, but the Jaycees hope to see more support soon.

‘There are about 22 of these barrels in town and more are needed to keep our city clean, said Alderman Smith.

numerous . questions from the delegates. Fifty-five resolutions had been submitted by the branches, and all were dealt with. Con- cerns expressed were on tonics of cost of heating fuels, telephone. service, dental care and transpor- tation, complexity of in- come tax return forms,

pid other items of con-

cern to seniors. Social activities were a

part of the convention as well. An outdoor barbecue and square dance demonstration was enjoyed, and the last evening, delegates were given a banquet and dance with music by a prize-winning local group of old-time fid- dlers. .

One of the items brought home by the local delegates. was the following poem:

Grandma Yesterday and Today

In the dim and distant past

When life’s tempo wasn’t fast Grandma used to rock and knit Crochet and tat and babysit.

When the kids were in a jam

They could always count on Gram.

In the age of gracious living Grandma was a gal for giving. Grandma now is at the gym Exercising to keep slim.

She’s off touring with the ‘“‘bunch’’ Taking clients out to lunch.

Driving to square dance or bowl Enjoying life is her goal. Nothing seems to stop or block her Now that Grandma’s off her rocker.

Cautionary notes for local gardeners

The gardening season is here again, and a lot of people can hardly wait to get out to the rose bushes and vegetable patch.

But bewarel. After a winter indoors you might not be as fit as you were last fall.

Gardening and other jobs around the house such as painting fences and pushing lawnmowers can take their toll, said Terrace chiropractor Dale Green- wood.

Chiropractors have to treat many gardening en- thusiasts who injure themselves early in the season. Greenwood of- fers these cautions:

* Don’t take on too much too soon. Start off with the little jobs and work yourself into con- dition.

* Gentle stretching ex- ercises before, during and after work activity are recommended.

* Do not remain bent or stooped for prolonged periods. That is a posi- tion your back is.not us- ed to, and it will tell you sol

* Wear proper clothing. Don’t over- dress or underdress for the weather and par- ticularly cover the lower back.

* Use long-handled tools to save you from bending. Pushing or

pulling while bent over will strain the shoulders and back.

* When weeding, get down on all fours, or kneel, using one knee at a time and changing fre- quently.

* When lifting or get- ting up, use your knees, not your back.

* If you are doing a lot of pushing and pulling, or getting into awkward positions, make sure you mix up your jobs and don’t do one thing all the time.

* Switch hands fre- quently while raking, hoeing or shovelling. This distributes the load evenly instead of putting all the effort on one side of the body.

* If joint or muscle soreness occurs, try rest and relaxation, And if either of these problems persist, it is probably time to see your family chiropractor.

At Heritage Park

The Pre-emption Bam

Fred Hampton, who walked into the Terrace area in 1908 from Kitamaat Mission on the Douglas Channel, built this barn on his first pre- emption c.1912. The farm, located on clay soils, was abandoned a few years later, A solidly built structure with lap- ped joint corners, the barn survived for 70 years surrounded by forest until discovered by a crew of timber cruisers in 1983. It now houses a display of early farming equipment used in the Terrace area.
