6 — THE CITIZEN, Prince George — Thursday, March «, I960 Welfare practice studied VICTORIA (CP) - The provincial government is talcing a hard look at its policy of placing youngsters on welfare in hotels, Human Resources Minister Grace McCarthy said Tuesday. Mrs. McCarthy said she does not believe hotels provide the right environment of youngsters — usually teenagers — who are placed there when no other accommodation is available. However, she is satisfied her ministry did everthing possible in the case of a 17-year-old girl who wa& arrested for drinking after spending eight days in a Delta hotel. Former Surrey mayor Bill Vogel said the girl, who was not charged, had been left unsupervised. He wanted to know why she had not been placed in the Surrey Community Resources Society’s emergency shelter which had empty beds at the time.

Area prepared to observe moose by DON MORBERG Citizen Staff Reporter Seeing a moose in its natural habitat may become an everyday thing for Prince George residents. Spruce City Wildlife Club, following a weekend work bee, is close to completing a moose viewing area of Highway 16 near Tabor Mountain. The idea, according to committee chairman Don Wilkins, is to develop an area where moose can come to feed and be watched by the public. Spruce City Wildlife Club, following a weekend work bee, is close to completing a moose viewing area of Highway 16 near Tabor Mountain. The idea, according to committee chairman Don Wilkins, is to develop an area where moose can come to feed and be watched by the public. The area, when completed, will have a raised platform and a series of corridors spreadingout into the bush. The corridors will allow the moose a feeding area in view of the platform. “Things went very, very well out there,” Wilkins said. “There were a lot of people who turned out, probably about 50 to 60 people, including about 15 from the Kitimavik project.” The Kitimavik program is a federally-sponsored work project, which gives young people the opportunity to live and work in various parts of the country. The work with the wildlife club was on the last day of the group’s project here. "We cleared one more spoke and we just about finished a second,” Wilkins said. “That means we have almost four finished.” The spokes radiate from the viewing area for about 300 to 400 yards. They start about five yards wide near the viewing platform location and are about 50 yards wide at the end. “By clearing those areas now, new growth will be generated. It is important that the growth be there when we hope to attact moose to the area next winter,” he said. “I’m very pleased with the work we did on the weekend," he said. "As well as clearing out much of the area, we did some burning and piled much more for burning next time.” Wilkins said May 3 had been tentatively set as the next work bee at the site. Still to be done at the site is the construction of the viewing platform. A tentative plan has the platform measuring 12 by 48 feet and standing 10 feet off the ground. The project is being carried out under the supervi- sion of the provincial fish and wildlife branch. “If this project is successful here, the fish and wildlife branch will be looking to use it as an example for other areas,” Wilkins said.

WEST VANCOUVER (CP) ■— West Vancouver emergency planners made a potentially shocking oversight when planning a disaster exercise Tuesday that could have led to the electrocution of several firefighters in a real emergency. They forgot to include British Columbia Hydro in the 1>lan, a move that would have eft live 60,000-volt powerlines above the heads of firefighters ! working to control a dangerous propane and fuel oil rail tanker !'‘collision.” ; The fuel tanker was on fire at • the foot of a pole carrying a ; major powerline beside B.C. Rail lines. In turn, it was caus-; ing a liquid propane rail tanker '.to heat up and spew a column ‘of burning vapor into the air. * “When a pole burns it becomes charcoal — there’s no way of telling which way it ■might come down," said Hydro line supervisor Jerry Rivers. “Also, 60,000 volts can be conducted by water down to ■the ground, and with the firefighters standing in water, we wouldn’t want that.” Rivers said that when police first arrived at the scene, they should have called Hydro in addition to the fire department. Hydro has a mobile unit Junk food is target for YMCA VANCOUVER (CP) - A spokesman for the YM-YWCA says his organization is trying to promote healthier snack foods at its centres, in line with concern by Health Minister Rafe Mair that too much junk food is being served in health facilities. “We have a fairly good percentage of the good stuff, as well as the bad stuff,” said Bud Willis. “The only thing (available) that I think is really really bad is cheesies and that sort of thLng,” Machines dispense juice, hot chocolate and soup instead of 90ft drinks!

The disaster scenario doesn’t ever mention Hydro’s role in the emergency, a role that the utility has been polishing since 1976. However, Rivers said the omission was just one oversight and that he has been working with West Vancouver disaster planners in the past week. Everything else appeared to go according to plan except for a delay in the arrival of an ambulance.
