RE: CABLE VISION IN MAGRATH ( C of C News) Magrath Chamber of Commerce: Thank you for your letter of March 14, 1980 requesting an explanation why Magrath has been by-passed in licensing of cablevision systems, while Raymond and Cardston were licensed. : There is no U.S. off-the-air signal availability in the Magrath area, while signals for Raymond can be pick ed up east of Raymond from Montana and signals for Cardston can be brought in \ through Fincher Creek (via AGT microwave) . Magrath is simply "caught-in-the middle". We are now working on the feasibility of providing signals to Magrath by other means and are preparing an application to the CRTC to that effect. It would help us immensly if the Magrath Chamber would take up a petition in your town, of people wanting improved Television services. We will also be writing to your Town Council for similar support aqd if we all "push together" we are certain the CRTC will be favourable disposed to granting a license since they are now holding hearings for extension of service regions. Sincerely yours, that very purpose: to rural and remote QCTV Ltd.

In this spirit, the Leadership Prayer Breakfast was inaugurated to specifically seek Divine guidance and strength as well as re-affirm our faith and the dedication of our Province and ourselves to God, His plan and purpose. The practice of an annual Leadership Prayer Breakfast has its precedent in Ottawa where our national leaders have assembled for the past ten years in a spirit of meditation and prayer. It is worthy of note that over the years, the National Prayer Breakfast in the Nation’s Capital has proved a continuing influence throughout the world by recognizing publicly the privileges and responsibilities of a nation under God. It was in this desire to help strengthen the moral fibre of the people through a leadership led by C-od that the Alberta Leadership Prayer Breakfast was inaugurated in 1969, patterned after the National Prayer Breakfast.

One of the more effective aspects of the Leadership Prayer Breakfast concept involves the formation of small groups in the individual rnmwiitni tips, which enable local leaders to meet reguarly in the same spirit. Informal Prayer Breakfast groups are active now in Edmonton, Calgary, Fort McMurray, Lethbridge and Lloydminister. If any denomination or group wishes to pursue the idea of having a local Prayer Breakfast, they can be assured of full support from this Chamber of Commerce.

It was the feeling of the Mayor that as the Federal government tries harder to get its hands on the Heritage Trust money the Provincial Government will be coming up with more grants as the Debt Reduction Program to keen it in the province. He and some on the Council feel that if we have our projects already planned out and ready to go when the monies become available we can be the first in line Mayor admitted it might be a gamble but it would be one that we might be abie^o fund from our own revenue if we have enough notice on them. The big concern of the Council was the price might be toohigh so they are pricing the job with other firms before they decide to hire this person. There were 3 proposals put before Council from Michael Johnston. The first was on getting a new stretcher carrier for the fire department and this will be referred to the Chief to onng bacK to Council with a full study. The second regarding several clauses of the dog by-law was referfed to Councilmen Harker and Cutler to examine and decide on an amendment to the law. The third regarding the cement homes on the east side of town was turned over to Councilmen Brunner and Haynes to study and report back to Council at a later date. Brian Oliver came to this meeting of the council to see if the Town would be willing to sell the old town shop property. After considerable debate on figures the Council ?eSde??hat the May°r Sh0Uld ne^otiate a fair deal with Mr. Oliver that would be equal to both sides. This was proposed and passed by the members. It should be noted that both Mr. Oliver and his partner Bill Blenner-Hassit are members of the community and were spoken nf very highly by every attending member at the meeting. The-feeling among one Cnunc.i1man was that this is the type of people we are happy to see owning businesses in our town. The final group to speak to the Council was the Lions who are 1ooking for $1,000 to fund a Country Music Jubilee for the 12th of August. The funds from this night will be going toward the new pool. It was passed to give the money to the Lions for this reason ano let them use it for as many fund raising projects as they liked as long as the funds from these events also went to the pool. Their proposal for this Jubilee should be watched since some °- the attending stars will be The Rhythm Pals, Lucille Starr, Ian Tyson, Wilf Carter, and many others. If anyone wishes to help in the planning of this event they are invited to contact any lion or Garth Vail. The final'item at the meeting was a report from the Town Forfnan as to what has been done by the men this,past month and what was planned in the next. The past was mainly grading projects and this next will be a continuation of them and they plan to begin work on cleaning the ditches as well. He proposed some solutions to the shaping problems on our west ditches and they will be talked about at a later date» Reminder that the public meeting on our new land use by-law will be on April 22. All property owners should attend since it states how you can or cannot use your land. REMINDER - Magrath Food Fair, April 19th, sponsored by the Band Parents Association.
