Ga- viardi, It may be that Recreation Minister Westwood took Myr. Gaglardi aside and, eyes filled with dollar signs, told him about tourist spending: ‘he- ween the 49th parallel and the Alaska ferry.

Then he decided to make amends, to try to correct an oversight by con- crete action. That’s what we like to think. And because of this, we are glad. We are happy for all the communities between Prince Rupert and Prince George. We are filled with joy at the prospect of a new Copper River bridge, that “narrow sections will be taken be in shape so that large truck traffic needing to use the highway when the . begins this fall, will be accommodated.” We of Prince Ru- pert thank Mr Gaglardi, All the High- way 16 communities thank Mr. Ga- glardi. Our ‘father thanks. Gaglardi and our mother thanks Mr. Gaglardi. If we had a sister she'd thank Mr. Gaglardi too. We don’t know how this all came about and we wouldn’t stoop so low as to breathe a word about the possibility of a provincial election, so we are just attributing the whole wonderful deal to faith.
