Plans for the next few meetings include the possibility of some of the Guides obtaining their Keep Fit Badge. We thought this would be a good way to start off a new year! As a “‘Taste”’ of this Badge, Mrs. Irene Mulrooney has very kindly agreed to come along to our meetings for a week or two and show us ways in which we can at- tempt to improve our standard of fitness. Look out for the next article when you will hear of our progress in this area! At this time of the year, we also begin to make plans for Thinking Day which is on Feb. 22nd. This is the birthday of our founder, Lord Robert Baden Powell (and also his wife, Olave). We hope to have a joint celebration once again with the Brownies which proved very successful last year. Also in this connection, to encourage the girls to save their Thinking Day Pennies, which are sent to the Canadian World Friendship Fund, we have turned this into a Patrol Challenge. Not a great deal of news in this article, but parents may be interested to hear a bit more of our last meeting of 1982. It was a Xmas Evening, with each girl asked to make a contribution on anything to do with Xmas. Xmas carols ‘were sung and two of the girls played a selection of Xmas songs on their records. A poem on “The month of December’’; and a story of “The first Xmas tree and the first-ever Xmas cards’’, were told. Guiding being world-wide, it was interesting to hear the names of the “gift-bringers” in other countries. Another poem reminded us that we should “‘give”’ as well as “‘receive’’ at Xmas time. A Santa Claus applecraft and a selection of Xmas stamps were also shown to us. The evening came to a close with us all tucking into Xmas goodies! Yes, it cer- tainly is an appropriate time to think of the Keep Fit Badge! BROWNIES wy stercore: vou Sorry Pat Lanphear and Lisa Steadman! Our new Brownie Helper for the rest of the term is Lisa Steadman not Pat Lanphear as written in the last Courier article. Congratulations to our Tawny Owl, Gayleen Connolly on the birth of her son. January 23rd has been chosen as the date when Jennifer Becket and Danielle Benner fly up to Guides. All parents are invited to the ceremony . in the upper Leisure room as the Brownies say Goodbye and the Guide Company welcomes them. Also coming soon is the celebration of birth-. days of our Guiding founders Lord & Lady Baden Powell. This day is February 22nd but will be celebrated on Sunday, February 21st with the Guides in the Upper Leisure room. All Brownies are encouraged to wear their Brownie uniforms to school on February 22nd, Thinking Day. As Brown Owl of the Ist Cassiar Brownie Pack, I would like to remind all parents that I will be away from January 26th to March 2nd and any questions can be answered by Lisa Steadman at 778-7764 or President of our Parents Commit- tee, Rachel Becket. | | Bai. coHOLICS | ANONYMOUS CASSIAR WOMEN’S GROUP MEETS MONDAY NIGHTS PHONE 778—7768 | | | ( | of Scouts Canada FEB. 20 — 27 by Hans Bierman The Cassiar Scouts had another active month. At this point I would like to thank all those peo- ple who so generously donated at all our ‘coat checks’ and the ones who purchased Xmas trees. Further more, the parents and leaders involved in getting those trees. Special ‘thanks’ go to Finning Tractor and Vince Jarvis for donating the trucks to haul the trees. All groups enjoyed their own Xmas party as their leaders treated them with pop & cookies on Jan. 8, 1983. Some of the scouts enjoyed the great weather when we went cross country skiing to the cabin at the end of the cross country trail. Some of the boys collected fire wood and started a fire fora marshmallow roast. Meantime wieners were cooked inside the cabin on the stove. It turned out to be a super day! Our personal thanks goes to Mr. George Millar who came along to help on the trail. Scout Patrol Leader, Shawn Penno was elect- ed to go to the World Jamboree held at Kanan- askis, Alberta this year. This is where all the world Boy Scouts compete in sports, games, camps, etc. It should be great fun Shawn! Our congratulations go out to Shawn as he was one out of 35 picked in B.C., Yukon and NWT. Only the ‘best’ get to go. The week of February 20-27th is National Scout Week or Baden Powell Week, and is remem- bered by Scouts all over the world. During this week Lord Baden Powell’s birthday is celebrated and honored. On January 26th, we will be holding our swim- ming up and going up ceremonies at the Rec Cen- SCOUT WEEK ter Gym. These ceremonies are for Beavers swim-_ ming up into Cubs; and Cubs going up to Scouts. This will take place at 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. and will be a Campfire style.

Mews The Annual Family Bonspiel was held on Decem- ber 28, 29, and 30 with thirteen teams entered The John Gwilliam rink emerged the winner after a close two game playoff against Cyril Habjan. Curling for John were:- Judy Joseph, Elizabeth Gwilliam and Lisa Joseph. The Radulovic family of Bora, Tanya and Zoran fronted the Habjan rink. The rink has been a very busy place during the mine shut-down, with such hi-lites as the Young Guys vs. the Old Crocks and the Yugoslavian World Series. Habjan and Pisonic demonstrated some great curling with help from their imports Frank Buckley and Bruce Leckie. A mixed draw - kept everyone else busy most of the week. Regular draws will begin again on January 17. The Annual Bonspiel will be held on March 17, 18 and 19 this year. This year’s theme will be “2001 - A Space Odd Event’. Plans for the Men’s and Ladies Bonspiel and the Inter Departmental are being drawn up for February. It’s nice to see the students making use of the rink again this year. John Gwilliam has offered his services to organize a Saturday afternoon student league if enough people are interested. Oy Lady by Father Oscar Pauwels, O.M.I.

Wayne was there to explain the Neighbourhood Watch program. ~For a town such as Cassiar it is a two part pro- gram. The first part is marking all your identifi- able possessions, in other words - the things that are attractive to would-be thieves - stereos, cam- eras, rifles, fishing equipment, skis, tools, etc., with your drivers licence number. Just stop and take a look at your possessions and ask yourself - if you were looking for some- thing to sell - what would you steal. To mark your possessions you can borrow, free of charge, an electric engraver from the RCMP (they have several). At the same time as you’re marking, make a list of serial numbers and the make and model of the items, and keep the list in a safe place. _The reason for marking items with your driv- er’s licence number is a piece of stolen property > SCHEDULE FEB. 6 The 5th Sunday After Epiphany 11:00 a.m. The Liturgy: Holy Communion Sunday School FEB. 13 ‘The Last Sunday After Epiphany 11:00 a.m. The Liturgy Sunday School FEB. 16 Ash Wednesday 7:30 p.m. The Liturgy of the Day: Imposition of Ashes and Holy Communion FEB. 20 The First Sunday of Lent 11:00 a.m. The Liturgy: Holy Communion Sunday School FEB. 27 The Second Sunday of Lent 11:00 a.m. The Liturgy Sunday School and Nursery LENT In mid-February the Church enters the season of Lent. The word is a shortening of ‘Lenten’, an Old. English word for spring, referring to the ‘lengthening’ days of the season. In the Church, Lent is the season leading up to Easter and its celebration of God’s new life in the risen Christ. Originally observed for the week be- fore Easter, in time the season was lengthened to forty days, and was re-interpreted as the Church’s season of sharing Christ’s trials of fasting and self- denial in the wilderness. ant Saints Anglican Community Church Cassiar Courier Februarv 1983 Page 5 S31 ot by Rev'd Bill Morrison With that new interpretation, Lent changed. In- deed Christianity changed. God’s love and grace became eclipsed by a preoccupation with sin; the triumph of Easter faded into the background while the bloody agony of Good Friday stood out in all its crimson detail; and Lent became a yig ‘dolorosa, a season of sorrows. ‘Remember, O man that you are dust, and to dust you shall return,’ and ashes heaped on the head, became the heart of Lent. It was no longer a spring-like season re- joicing in the gradual return of light and life to a world buried in snow and darkness. It was no long- er the season when a little rivulet of hope trick- - ling over the snow grew into a great flood of joy in the beams of the returning Son. Rather it be- came a frozen season, « perpetuation of the dark- ness and death of the soul’s winter. The liturgy of Lent today has recaptured some of that spring-like quality. The People of God are encouraged to dig deep in the soil of their faith and its symbols, to set them free and let them grow, to. be revitalized in the strength of the Christ who, rising from the dead, makes the world green again and the whole creation new. The aspect of self-denial and ‘cutting back’ is still part of Lent, as pruning and trimming are part of the new growth of spring; but it is put toa constructive purpose in the ‘Ten Days for World Development’ and ‘Share Lent’ programs dedica- ted to bringing new life and hope to people in dis- tress in the Third World, and to victims of disaster everywhere. In Cassiar this aspect of Lent culmin- ates in the Good Friday Walk-A-Thon for World Relief, Peace and Development. a a ee ceives the national edition of the Globe and Mail daily, and the Saturday Vancouver Sun. The popularity of the magazine section is proven by the number of issues that are stolen off the shelf. This always seems to happen out- side regular Library hours, and is happening more and more frequently. CHILDREN’S STORY TIME In the fall Mary Lindsay volunteered to do a children’s story time in the Library on Sunday afternoons. The pro- ject was widely advertised twice, and both times the re- sults were the same: no children! What a pity. TEMPORARY LOANS 1 will be going to Dawson Creek January 17 — 18 to choose the new selection of temporary loan books. These books should arrive by February 1st, and remain in our Library until the end of May. The present selection of temporary loans will be returned to Dawson Creek by the end of January. GAMES The Library is a nice spot to spend a quiet evening; and now, if you get tired of books, we have nice quiet games for you play: chess, backgammon and cribbage. when recovered, can be traced to the owner in a matter of minutes. After marking everything it is time to give any would be thieves the message. This is done by placing the Neighbourhood Watch stickers on all your doors. The second part is to keep your doors locked to make things a little harder for a thief. If you - are going away for an extended period, have some one stay at your place, and if not possible, or if you're away just for the weekend - have a neigh- bor look out for your premises. If going away for an extended period - leave your name and address with the RCMP. REMEMBER — CRIME PREVENTION BE— GINS WITH YOU. We would like to start people thinking now - WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE DONE AROUND CASSIAR? We are open for suggestions as to how to make to make Cassiar a better place. If you have an idea for a good community project that we can help with - either financially or by getting the ball rolling - pass the ball to us, but until you pass the ball to us - it’s in your court. How can we fully represent you unless you speak to us? BOOK SALES The Library has an ongoing booksale, selling off books that have been collecting dust on the shelves. There are still a couple of hundred novels left; and after that there are several boxes of non-fiction books to sell. And it’s the best bargain in Cassiar: 25 cents a book, or five for $1.00. BOOKS After snowing last month’s paper under with reviews and notices of a multitude of new books, this month | will note one book only, and that briefly. What’s What: A Visual Glossary of the Physical World, by David Fisher and Reginald Bragonier. RO31.02BRA. “You know: it’s the thingummybob that screws into the © gizmo that makes the watsit go and sends the whirrlygig round and round.’ What a chore it is to describe a piece of machinery if you don’t know it’s right name. Now there is a book that illustrates and |abels the parts of things, from the components of the universe on Page 1 to the parts of a casket on Page 500. In between are appliances, spacecraft, animal bodies, jewelry, weapons, signs and symbols and hundreds of other items. It’s easy to use, and it’s good for Scrabble and cross-word puzzles, too. st ROYAL BANK NOW IS THE TIME TO SEE | 1WHAT YOU “CAN DO* ABOUT i YOUR FUTURE! GET THE FACTS ABOUT OUR R.R.S.P.
