Formerly with ‘the Oak-
ridge Boys, Smith shares
some of his singing talents,
and guitar playing in the
style of Chet Atkins. He re-
ceived an enthusiastic recep-
tion from the audience.

Raised in a Christian home
in Jacksonville, Florida,
Smith recalled learning to
pray, kneeling beside his
parents. He said his family
was financially poor when he
was young, but spiritually
rich in many ways.

At the age of nine, Smith
accepted Jesus. That same
day he received his: first
stringed instrument, a uke-
lele.

Later, after praying and
working and saving, he re-
ceived a guitar. His mother
prayed with him, asking God
to teach him to play it well.
He never took formal lessons
and promised to use his
talent for the glory of God.

In his early teens his guitar
was stolen. That same week
his parents took him to an
all-night gospel sing. Among
the groups there were the
Oakridge Boys.

During intermission Smith
went backstage and was in-
vited to a jam session with
the groups. They were
amazed at bis skill, and he
found himself onstage with a
borrowed guitar, flicing 3,000
people. *

On hearing that his guitar
had been stolen, the audience
responded with an offering
that provided a guitar of the
same type as is used by such
guitar players as Roy Clark
and Buck Owens.

That night the Oakridge
Boys asked Smith to travel
with them on tour, which he
did for six years. However,
he | himself slipping in

for Bible school in Louisiana,
where he sold his Cadillac
and bought a Volkswagen.
He said he had come to re-
alize that cars and a bank ac-
count do not satisfy.

He told a friend, “I might
not own a Cadillac, but I've
got peace like I've never
known in my life.”

Between 1973 and 1979
Smith travelled in 23 coun
tries, playing guitar and

singing for Christ. In 1979

while in Pensacola, Florida,
he met Jimmy Snow, son of
singer Hank Snow. Jimmy
invited him to sing at the
Grand Ole Opry.

In the next three years
Smith assisted Pastor Snow
in the Grand Ole Opry Gospel
time. He testified that it was
common to see each week up
to 200 people receive Christ
into their lives at the Grand
Ole Opry.

Smith observed that he has
known many people who
wouldn't drive a car without
insurance, or live in a home
without insurance. He said he
also has known many living
without God.

“Those are the most unin.
sured people in the world.”

He encouraged each to be
“honest with yourself. Don't
try to con God. He knows ex
actly where you are and what
you need.”

He invited all who did not
have Christ in their life to ac
cept Him as their own Savior,
and have the certainty of
knowing where they were
going — the “everlasting life
insurance.”

Forests Minister Gom Wa-
terland has announced that
Canada Waferboard Limited
of Vancouver is the success-
4ul applicant for a new pulp-
wood agreement in south-
eastern B.C. Formal approval
must still be given by cab-
inet.

The 25-year agreement
calls for Canada Waferboard

to harvest up to 160,000 cubic
metres of timber annually
from stagnant lodgepole pine
stands in the Nelson and
Kamloops Forest Regions.
Applications were also re
ceived from: Kettle Valley
School District No. 13, Ar.

Sawmills Ltd.

Waterland’s action is the
outcome of a ministry study
which examined the wood
fibre resources of southeast-
ern B.C. and resulted in the
creation of a new pulpwood
area.

In April 1983, proposals
were invited for the best
utilization of these resources.

Canada Place
And Expo 86.
An Update:

The concrete foundations for
Canada Place are in place nght
now. The steel framework for the
site of the Government of Canada’s
EXPO 86 Pavilion is being tied
together. $137 million of funding
from the Government of Canada is
supporting the project. Work is
progressing on time and on budget.

There's a lot going on at the
foot of Burrard Street in Vancouver.
The cable-suspended roof will
soon cover the Canadian EXPO 86
Pavilion. And after the fair, the
Canadian Pavilion will remain as a
world class trade and convention
centre. Cruise ships will tie up to
the dock apron surrounding the
centre. Passengers with money to
spend will generate revenue for
local businesses.

Jobs Now

During the four years of its con-
struction phase, Canada Place is
providing 5,300 person years of
employment. That's welcome em-
ployment for construction workers

right now-when they need it
most. And Canadian contractors
are in charge of all the work

The Canadian Pavilion

During EXPO 86.

During the exciting months of
EXPO 86, you'll have a chance to
visit Canada Place at its finest.
Canada Place will be this country’s

shows demonstrating
leadership ygparansportation and
communications. The Canadian

Host Pavilion will be the focal point
of the Government of Canada’s
Participation in the fair. The new
federal/provincial funded ALRT
system will quietly whisk you
between.Canada Place and the
main EXPO 86 site. And additional
financial assistance from the
Government of Canada is providing
anew road and services access,
ensuring efficient traffic flow on
downtown Vancouver streets
adjacent to Canada Place. The entire
project is an opportunity to dem-
onstrate leading Canadian techno-
logical capability. And it’s being
promoted by the Government of
Canada throughout the world.

share in the economic growth of
the Pacific Rim. The Vancouver
Board of Trade has joined the World
Trade Centre Association and will
establish a World Trade Centre at
Canada Place. This Centre will be a
clearing house for Canadian eco-
nomic and marketing information
for international traders. The
Canadian Asia Pacific Foundation
will also set up offices at Canada
Place to further bind economic
ties with Asian markets.

Permanent Jobs

For The Future

After EXPO 86, Canada Place will
create 2,200 permanent jobs on the
pier. The exhibition facilities occu-
pied by the Canadian Pavilion will
be converted into an international
convention, conference and trade-
show centre. The trade and con-
vention facilities are already being
marketed internationally. Thou-
sands of convention delegates and
cruise ship visitors are expected

to make a significant economic
contribution to the Vancouver—~
downtown area. That means more
new service jobs in the private
sector and millions of dollars of
stimulation for the entire British
Columbia economy.
