NOTE OF THANKS The first weekend of Winter Carnival presented us with quite a problem. Two hundred and twenty children plus adults came into town to participate in the Minor Hockey Tournament. All of these had to be billetted. In a town the size of Cassiar one would assume that it would - - have been almost impossible. However, the people of Cassiar came through again, Without their help our task would have been impossible. Not only the parents of the children involved in Minor Hockey took billetts into their homes but also many others including people who have no chidren of their own. We wish to take this oppor-. tunity to thank you all. Thank you also to Father Pauwels for allowing us to use the church basement and to Rev., Beacham for allowing us to use the church hall. Last but ~ by no means least we wish to thank Cassiar Asbestos Corporation for all their help. We also wish to apologise to those of you who were inconvenienced by the eeulas times of arrival. Once again thank you. / Dee Ellis : Kerry Jones’ Se York Winds ae exciting ensemble that brings a special vitality and compelling conviction to their music.” On Monday evening, March 20th, 1978, Cassiar. . presented its first live concert in our newly opened theatre which | am sure was a special treat for all who attended. * The concert was performed by “York Winds” who were formed in 1972 and are at present artists- in-residence at Toronto’s York University. The five artists originating from various parts of Canada ‘blend the flute, the’ oboe, the clarinet, the horn and the basson into a very sensitive and graceful style. Although performing a variation to that of their planned programme, the performance displayed the well-known classical compositions of Jacques Ibert, _ Paul Hindemith, Charles Lefebvre, GabrielsPierne, - Beethoven, Franz Danzi and J.

As of April 4th, there will be a series of five’ classes once a week every Tuesday evening. These classes will help prepare the mother for childbirth and give her a better understanding of the. development and care of her newborn. The classes will start with a brief outline of the male and female reproductive system including fertil- ization. We will then go through the changes during pregnancy the mother will expect. Stressing the im-- portance of good nutrition for both mother and infant during her pre-natal and post-natal care, plus infant feeding, eg. breast feeding, formulas, use of. _ blender etc. Explaining mechanism of labour and delivery. Care of newborn, At the end of the series of classes there will be a tour of the hospital where the parents will be shown the delivery room and make the mother more familiar - with the surroundings. During the classes there will be two films shown: The Story of Eric and The Newborn. . After each class we will be going through a series of exercises which will prepare the mother to. use certain muscles she will be using for the job ahead. She also will be learning different breathing techniques for the different stages of labour. The classes should be interesting and useful for the Mom and Dad, so father’s are welcome to join - and give support to their wives - don’t be shy. There will be other classes following the first series and will be posted in the future. = a lyrical duet between flute and clarinet featuring dazzling French dance rhythms. Paul Hindemith’s “Klein Kammermusik fur funf . Blaser’ displayed a waltz movement and the flowing . “sounds of the flute. A brief introduction to each instrument and an example of each tonal quality was given by the artists sharing with the audience both their respect and knowledge for the delicate instruments whose sounds they have so creatively perfected. : The performance of the “York Winds” with. their gentle movements of tone brought a soft and: enjoyable opening concert to our new theatre. Perhaps with our new surroundings for wel-. coming to Cassiar concert performers we shall see more classical entertainment in the future and a larger audience to. absorb and appreciate the works of bier "very talented artists.

EH bea ‘The Federal Skeena New Democratic Party organizer, Jennifer Davies, was in town for a few days this week.

She is here as the forerunner for the NDP candidate Jim Fulton who is planning a visit in the very near future. For those of you who didn’t receive the house- holder mailing of Jim Fulton’s pamphlet, (Vancou- ver Post Office didn’t give the correct number of households - they are way behind on their count) may like to know that he comes from Thell on the Queen Charlottes, is a Probation Officer with the Department of the Attorney General.

H REFLECTIONS CO Ht @ og caben Brenda Mallory Somebody asked me the other day if I really lived in a log cahin, Another question I get is “how can you stand living in the bush without facilities?” I thought I'd take a few lines this month and explain our way of life. I guess the biggest problem is water, During the summer we carry water 150 yards from an underground stream, However, now we bring the water from town in four 2-gallon jugs. We have a 30 gallon tank in the house which we try to keep filled, For heat we have an oil furnace and a Franklin fire- place. Most often we only use the oil heat but on very cold nights the old fireplace is stoked up to cut the chill. The rest of our facilities are propane (lights, fridge, stove), As yet we’ve had no trouble with anything freezing up. Our washroom facilities of course are outside. On some ‘of those -35 mornings it’s a mite chilly but we came up with a great idea, We covered the seat with styrofoam (Naturally we cut a hole in it), It’s so warm you'd almost think someone just left. Those of you who have cabins should try it. As a closing note Ia like to remind everyone travel- ling our roads to be prepared for problems, It amazes me the number of people stuck on the road that have no shovel, chains, tow rope or even the basic necessities for a prolonged wait for help. EB y- PET CORNER - BEAK To maintain good health a ie must have a balanced diet. The simplest ration is raw meat containing 5 per cent fat plus an equal amount of cereal (biscuit meal). Canned food can be used in place of raw meat. An excellent source of minerals and vitamins is the occasional addition of liver to the diet. Here is a basic guide to feeding amounts, Body Weight Food Intake Small 10 Ibs. % Ib, Medium 25 Ibs, 1% Ibs, Large 40 Ibs, 1% Ibs. Very Large 100 Ibs. 2% Ibs, This guide is given with the assumption that the dog is given enough exercise, It’s sad to see that often in our town many dogs remain tied to a short rope for quite some time.
