to

was
discussed
at
the
regular
monthly
meeting
of
the
Terrace
and
District
Board
of
Trade
Tuesday
night.
This
was
supported
by
the
probability
that
Terrace
might
sometimes
be
Isolated
by
washouts
on
the
railway
and
on
the
highway,
as
happened
quite
.recently;
A
recent
editorial
In
the
Dally
News
of
Prince
Rupert
was
quoted.
This
it
was
felt
very
well
stated
the
position
that
Terrace
as
an
up
and
coming
community
should
have
better
facilities.
The
subject
was
taken
up
by
the
meeting
In
a
lively
talk
and
it
was
decided
that
there
should
be
at
an
early
date
a
meeting
of
the
whole
community,
when
a
hospital
board
or
a
board
suitably
named
might
be
formed,
Us
business
would
be
to
press
for
a
decision
regarding
the
fine
military
hos
pital
that
was
built
here
during
the
war
and
which
Is
not
now
being
used.
There
were
the
usual
discus
sions
.regarding
railway
and
highway
matters.
In
regard
to
the
proposed
party
of
welcome
to
returning
soldiers,
it
soon
became
appar
ent
that
this
afralr
was
not
so
simple
as
at
first
thought.
One
soeaker
reminded
the
meeting
that
a
large
proportion
of
the
men
who
served
were
not
yet
back
In
civilian
life
and
it
would
seem
to
be
cold
comfort
for
them
to
learn
when
they
eventually
come
home
that
a
welcome
was
given
to
those
who
returned
earlier.
Another
speaker
pointed
out
that
a'
proportion
of
them
do
not
plan
to
remain
in
Terrace
and
that
some
have
already
moved
on.
The
matter
ended
In
good
humor
when
someone
suggested
another
uarty
could
be
put
on
at
a
later
date.
