There
was
a
bit
of
a
kerfuffle
a
lew
weeks
back
out
of
city
hall
when
aldermen
decided
that
they
really
couldnt
find
a
place
to
accommodate
some
300
trailers
belonging
to
the
Wally
Byman
Airstream
Caravan
The
greatest
agony
was
caused
by
the
thought
that
the
300
trailer
dwelling
Americans
would
part
with
about
6000
during
their
overnight
stay
here
Personally
I
didnt
get
all
that
excited
over
the
incident
even
though
various
interested
parties
used
words
like
disgusting
to
describe
the
action
or
lack
of
it
on
the
part
of
our
city
greybeards
There
was
no
question
of
the
Wally
Byman
Airstream
Caravan
being
homeless
when
they
passed
through
Prince
George
They
carry
their
dwellings
with
them
gleaming
palaces
on
wheels
packed
full
of
gadgets
doodahs
wives
and
dogs
My
lack
of
interest
in
this
issue
changed
dramatically
last
weekend
when
I
made
my
annual
pilgrimage
to
Van
Vancouver
�
couver
I
now
feel
that
city
fathers
should
mount
machine
guns
on
the
highway
and
dispatch
these
monstrous
symbols
of
late
20th
century
decadence
all
the
way
back
to
Burbank
or
wherever
friend
Byman
starts
his
caravan
trail
After
experiencing
similar
juggernauts
on
the
tedious
journey
back
to
Prince
George
I
find
I
lack
enthusiasm
for
the
sight
of
caravans
trailers
and
other
things
designed
to
raise
the
blood
pressure
of
motorists
driving
putt
putt
cars
like
mine
The
milk
of
human
kindness
tends
to
iirdle
on
the
high
highways
�
ways
and
very
few
drivers
tend
to
exude
sweetness
at
other
drivers
But
lets
face
it
other
cars
can
be
tolerated
The
guys
driving
the
big
trucks
are
normally
considerate
even
if
they
are
disconcerting
when
they
come
thundering
down
a
hill
behind
you
Campers
because
of
the
very
nature
of
the
beasts
cause
some
consternation
when
they
go
round
curves
but
its
not
stretching
it
too
far
to
say
that
the
people
who
drive
them
can
be
acknowledged
as
members
of
the
human
race
The
guy
pulling
the
trailer
is
a
different
kind
of
cat
He
drags
his
behemoth
out
onto
the
highway
and
then
looks
for
another
behemoth
so
that
he
can
drive
benind
it
I
have
never
studied
the
psychology
of
the
snail
a
caravan
carrying
member
of
the
creepy
crawly
kingdom
But
I
suspect
it
is
like
its
human
counterpart
who
drives
a
trailer
a
surly
morose
slow
moving
creature
content
only
in
the
company
of
other
snails
I
do
not
consider
myself
a
speed
demon
but
often
I
wish
to
go
faster
than
the
customary
35
mph
of
the
trailer
cara
caravans
�
vans
when
using
highways
posted
at
60
mph
I
get
the
urge
to
pass
them
It
is
difficult
to
pass
them
when
they
are
so
close
and
happily
together
unless
one
can
find
a
straight
stretch
of
road
approximately
40
miles
long
and
boost
ones
own
speed
up
to
a
figure
normally
frowned
upon
by
those
RCMP
gentlemen
who
man
the
radar
traps
I
wish
I
knew
why
these
oncc-a-year
vehicles
find
favor
with
holiday
makers
There
is
a
certain
attraction
to
the
outdoors
but
I
dont
think
you
can
find
it
by
spending
long
hours
inhaling
the
exhaust
fumes
of
the
caravan
ahead
of
you
In
fact
all
you
dedicated
caravan
users
if
the
comforts
of
home
appeal
to
you
so
strongly
why
not
stay
home

The

It
is
now
in

mitories
at

Wainwright
leaving
behind
the
old

facilities
at

Second
Theyve
left
the
Second

hostel
but
have
not
deserted
it
hostel
organizer
Murray
Krause
said
If
we
get
overcrowded
at
the
dorms
we
will
have
to
staff
them
both
he
said
This
is
a
very
real
possibil
possibility
�
ity
The
dorms
are
licensed
to
accommodate
38
transient
youths
In
the
first
two
months
of
operation
this
summer
the
hostel
has
had
over
1000
young
people
drop
by
for
a
total
of
about
2500
bed
nights
Krause
said
The
hostel
will
also
be
forced
to
move
back
to
1240
Second
when
the
school
board
needs
the
dorms
to
pi
e
pare
for
students
in
the
fall
We
have
the
dorms
for
lfe
months
to
the
middle
of
Aug
August
�
ust
Krause
said
But
that
is
our
busiest
time
A
problem
facing
the
eight
staff
members
of
the
hostel
now
is
how
to
keep
the
build
building

Second
in
decent
con
condition

until
the
young
people
move
back
The
house
was
left
vacant
for
a
short
time
after
the
half
halfway
�
way
house
for
alcoholics
moved
to
a
new
building
Older
transients
destroyed
the
building
leaving
a
mess
for
the
youth
hostel
organizers
to
clean
up
Krause
said
he
is
looking
for
a
group
to
sponsor
the
hos
hostel
�
tel
to
hire
a
caretaker
for
the
old
hostel
This
person
would
stay
in
the
building
and
guard
it
against
vandals
It
will
cost
525
for
the
caretaker
he
said
Theold
hostel
buildingmay
be
used
for
a
recreation
drop
in
centre
Krause
said
A
group
is
looking
into
this
possibility
now
The
rent
on
the
building
has
been
paid
to
the
end
of
September
Krause
added
the
hostel
also
needs
bedding
bowls
and
towels
for
their
expanded
operation
As
well
as
offering
a
place
to
stay
for
50
cents
if
the
transients
have
money
or
free
if
they
are
broke
the
Prince
George
youth
hostel
also
helps
young
people
find
work
Manpower
stays
in
close
contact
with
the
hostel
and
90
per
cent
of
the
young
people
seeking
employment
find
it
in
town
Krause
said
He
added
that
most
of
the
transients
are
Canadians
about
21
years
old
More
are
paying
the
50
cents
for
the
night
than
in
previous
years

HAZELTON
Every

tells
a
story
Thats
if
it
was
done
prop
properly
�
erly
At
Ksan
all
the
totems
are
authentic
and
all
tell
stories
and
legends
of
the
Gitksan
people
of
the
Skeena
who
live
in
the
Hazelton
area
The
one

is

pole
carved
and
erected
for
the
1969
opening
of

Ksan
was

and

Many
people
think
the
top
figure
on

Not
so
Mrs
Diesing
explained
it
is
just
repres

Actually
white

on

are
not

rare
On
the
Queen
Charlottes
one
pole
has
a
figure
resembling
American
President
Abraham
Lincoln
and
another
has
carved
the
figure
of

The
story
of
the

is
not

pleasant
Mrs

said
It
seems
his

But
the

factor

Although
the

is
encouraging

described

as

Dr

the

Some
climbers
court
acci
dents
by
attempting
the
more
spectacular
techniques
when
they
lack
the
necessary
experience
or
training
One
difficult
practice
is
rappclling
a
method
of
slid
sliding
�
ing
down
a
cliff
face
by
means
of
a
double
rope
Another
is
the
glissade
where
a
climber
descends
a
slope
rapidly
by
skiing
on
his
feet
For
those
who
try
the
higher
altitudes
there
is
the
risk
of
pulmonary
edema
once
wrongly
diagnosed
as
pneumonia
This
can
occur
at
the
10000
foot
level
or
higher
If
a
climber
walks
up
to
these
levels
hq
attunes
himself
naturally
to
the
change
in
atmosphere
If
he
is
ferried
there
by
helicopter
and
this
is
happening
more
and
more
often
he
must
not
over
exert
himself
too
quickly
Dr
Ferris
said
the
various
mountaineering
centres
in
North
America
have
training
programs
sponsored
by
local
groups
and
the
national
alpine
clubs
People
interested

the
lure

the
wilderness
the
exhilaration
of
the
effort
involved
Like
almost
all
outdoor
activities
it
is
increasing
in
popularity
Very
much
so
Unfortunately
he
does
not
know
how
many
people
are
involved
in
the
various
forms
of
climbing
As
a
result
although
the
number
of
accidents
is
increasing
he
does
not
know
whether
the
rate
is
also
increasing
But
he
felt
that
between
70
and
100
reported
accidents
for
the
whole
of
North
America
is
a
pretty
small
number

Ferriss

for

climbing
