Sincerely, Vie Jolliffe Editor he Terrace “Omineca” Herald When the Terrace sub-branch of the SPCA was closed down recent- i fly, it was due more to lack of sup- port or interest-from the parent body SPOA in Vancouver, than from the residents of Terrace, and && I am sure that this situation can, .[and must, be improved, if there is @ to be strong SPCA representation i up in this area. } For my part, I do not intend to allow the alms and objectives which were the reasons to form 3 the SPOA in Terrace in the firet place, to just wither and die, par- & ticularly when the need for the SPOA still exists. a I have written to local council % to suggest that it might be worth @ while if they were to contact the @ SPOA parent body direct, in order § to obtain useful guidance and in- @ formation where their animal con- | trol problem is concerned, and 7 feel quite sure that the best way @ to obtain the necessdry support and interest from the parent % body, is for each paid up mem- & ber to write to the SPCA in Van- & couvér and let them kiiow thal the ¢ SPCA representation is urgently & needed up here, in Terrace. I will be circulating a petition for all fg those to sign who would like to % see the SPCA represented here, but I will not be calling upon the 3 past, paid-up members to do 80, /§ and would ask that these persons # should write to the parent body individually.
