“The association recog:

Norm Johnson. “However,
we believe that any move to

precipitous’ response to the
recent excessive demand felt
particularly in the cyclical

“We feel that it is in the
public interest that we do not

expense more engineers than
we require. The surplus will
merely benefit other prov-

it is in the interest of the

at Salmo Elementary, 66 vol-

ning Club gather at 8:30 a.m.
every morning, rain or shine,
for their daily exercises and
jogging.

. The distance covered is
about three _ kilometres
around Jap Mountain near
the school, which takes about
a quarter-of-an-hour. The
teacher sponsors run with
the students and there is a
good rapport between teach-

, ers and students.

Those students inter-
viewed were enthusiastic and
considered the running pro-
gram the best part of the
school day. Asked why so
many students joined the

. club, they said that some ran

just for the fun of it, some for
health, some for competition,
and some for social reasons,
because their. friends were

members.
