For those of us who just cannot wait any longer, rocks protruding up through the snow are eating away the bottoms of our boards. Hopefully, if everyone does a little praying, we will have lots of snow by the be- ginning of the New Year. (How about asking Santa?) Membership is also off to a Slow start but after the New Year no-one will be allowed to use the facil- ities without paying his dues. They are $15.00 for singles and $20.00 for family. They can be purchased from Anna Guarducci (778-7345) or Wayne Mayell. Early in the New Year there will be a Club meeting to discuss Cassiar races for the Dr. Navin Trophy and discuss the possibility of having a PS Sieg = to design a Ski Club crest. _— | ee Cassiar Lions Swimming Pool The lakes in the area are plentiful and some of the prettiest lakes in Canada are just within a few miles gf our town, but they are loaded with ice cold water and only the most hardy dare to swim in them. Nine years ago the Cassiar Lions, 16 members strong, decided to build a swimming pool. The residents of Cassiar were very lenient with their time and talents and spent many evenings that first summer to complete | the pool. The next summer the Lions decided that we should have a roof over the pool as the cloudy weather with not too much sunshine was not agreeable to swimming in an open air pool. Again the people of Cassiar came for- ward to help the Lions put up the building. Over the past seven years both the adults and children have had many months of enjoyment from the the swimming pool and at least 200 children have been taught to swim over those years. In 1974 the Lions decided that the dressing rooms should be up-graded, and through long delays waiting for building plans to meet the Provincial Health board requirements, the summer months went past without any building being erected. a Ww BICONE SOEs ene I? bY a pe a a a EE BFE ES OE PE OE PE GE ore PS PEPE 2968098022593 08652296 BOS SIISSSSI9SOOSBOSVESES Snowmobile Club _ The Cassiar Snowmobtle Chub held their first social for the 74-75 season on December 7th in the Centennial Lounge.
