‘MISS TERRACE STILL ALIVE.»

~The health of the Miss Terrace

Pageant 1991 seems to be on the
mend.

An eleven-member committee is
busy organizing the event and a
$3,000 boost from Terrace city
council. Monday night offered
considerable incentive for the
group to continue their effort.

According to pageant committee
member Alfreda Price, their com-
mittee is not affiliated with any
local service club and they are
therefore lacking necessary funds.
Council support for this event soon
became apparent Monday night,
though. Price asked for $2,000 in
financial support but alderman
Ruth Hallock said from past €x-

_and rates.

perience that might be too little
and suggested that $3,000 be
included in the 1991 city budget
instead.

"This group only asked for
$2,000," Hallock explained, "but I
anticipate this group will find it

more expensive than they think." It

had been pointed out earlier by
administrator Bob Hallsor that the
previous Pageant sponsor, the
Terrace Jaycees, received a $3,000
grant in 1990. And according to
one committee member attending
Monday night’s meeting the Jay-
cees have reported a total annual
Pageant cost of $10,000.

In addition to the funding

~ Support sought to bring
‘war journalist here for
analysis of Gulf war

All over the: world people are
wondering what the next political
crisis will be in. the’ Middle East
and what impact it will have on
the rest of the globe. The Terrace
Public Library is now attempting
to enlist support to bring to Ter-
race one of the world’s most
respected authorities on the politics
and economy of war.

Gwynn Dyer is currently organiz-
ing a nationwide lecture tour on
the aftermath of the Persian Gulf
war. Terrace librarian Ed Currell is
contacting local organizations in an
effort to collect enough money to
cover Dyer’s fee, travel expenses,
accommodation and rental of the
R.EM. Lee Theatre. As a start, the
library has already committed
$500, Currell said, and the Terrace
District Teachers’ Association will

‘contribute between $200 and $500.

Dyer is offering a reduction on
his normal fee of $2,000 to small
communities, Currell said, because
he wants to reach audiences out-

side the urban centres. The com- ¢

munity will have to come up with
about $2,000 in total to get Dyer
up here, Currell figures, or some-

what less than that if neighbouring:

communities like ‘Kitimat and
Prince Rupert come in-on the
project and make it a Northwest
tour for him.

According to his most recent
rundown of Dyer’s schedule, Cur-
rell believes the lecture would take
place at either the end of May or
the end of April.

Further information is available
from Currell at the library.
