Still needed to make the figures balance though is the approval of a request for grants from the city and township councils. President Bill Wolfe noted the chamber is seeking a 21.3 per cent increase in services grants from the two councils.

Costs are up about nine per cent from 1974, he said. The remaining 12 per cent, would go into the chamber's new building fund. The fund has been set up with $2,001 net income from 1974 and a $1,000 donation pledged by a local businessman. It is hoped within the next few years to acquire a permanent home for the chamber. Chamber manager Roy Appleton explained last year the two local councils contributed a total $6,823.

The chamber is hoping for approval of $8,285 in grants for 1975. Estimated expenses for the year show an increase of $2,462 over 1974. The largest increase comes in a $1,500 allotment for tourist booth expenses and erection of tourist information signs. Mr. Appleton said the tourist booth on Highway 9 was broken into last fall and no estimate has been made yet on cost of repairs.

While selling B.C. lottery tickets will likely bring in about $1,000 during the year the chamber must use the funds for community projects. The citizento-be-recognized program and an education survey will account for about half of the proceeds. Mr. Wolfe noted a great deal depends on councils' acceptance of the grant requests.

The idea of approving the 1975 chamber budget so early, he said, is to give councils time to consider the grants in their final budgets. Chamber news briefs day, directors of the Chilliwack and District Chamber of Commerce: Learned that the 1975 citizento-be-recognized will be honored at a special dinner March 24. This year tickets for the dinner will be sold in advance only. Heard from George Langbroek, chairman of the merchants' association committee. Mr.

Langbroek noted he hopes the committee will become an "umbrella" over the other community merchants groups. Ideally, he said, the committee will help bring together merchants from the city, township, Southgate Shopping Centre and Cottonwood Corner Mall. It will give everyone a chance to sit down together and "talk the same language," he said. Were told of a tourism committee plan to find students willto operate the tourist information booth under an Opportunities for Youth Grant. A grant application has been received and the committee will be approaching the schools looking for students willing to apply.

Received a letter from B.C. on Highway 1. The letter notes contracts for the approaches to the grade separated crossing will be called soon. The department of highways is apparently investigating the possibility of putting up additional warning lights. Learned that the work experience program may not get started this spring due to budget restrictions.

The program will apparently begin as soon as possible and a study of possible "employers" is now under way. The proposal is to place students in a work setting for about a week to give them some on-the-job experience. The chamber has pledged $250 for operation of the program.

The day may come, said Mr. Wolfe, when the chamber will have to move and there is presently no alternative space available. A building committee will be formed to look at all possibilities the construction classes to take for acquiring a "permanent on the building of the office. The home' for the chamber. Mr.
