ARETE PLAYS CASSIAR the contemporary mime troupe ‘Arete', were in Cassiar last month. The program they presented included acrobatics, juggling, magic and pan- tomime. Highly featured was the pantomime. Several skits were pre- sented, most in a lighter vein. Especially memorable were Samurai and Window Washers. In the first, two Japanese swordsmen battle it out in a pitch dark forest. The suspense builds as they creep from tree to tree, never quite sure where the other is and when he will strike. The second chronicled the high level misadventures of a window washer and his bumbling assistant. These and many others sent the audience into peals of laughter. The troupe was formed in the spring of 1976 by three graduates of the Canadian Mime School: Randy Birch, Kevin McKendrick and Don Spino. The trio, all professional mimes, have based themselves in Calgary and have just arrived back from Cyprus, where they entertained the U. N. Troops. These fellows were first rate clowns. The evening's entertainment was en- joyed by all in attendance and many thanks are extended to the Community Club and the B. C. Cultural ‘Fund. The 100 Club asks its members to help! Due to the lack of response at the social evenings it is apparent that the club is struggling to meet its commitments to the sporting clubs in our midst. With a little more par- ticipation the club could easily flourish. What has the club done? The club has held four social evenings and made donations to the minor hockey and boxing clubs. It played an active part in the Schmoo Daze celebrations by helping with the Tug-of-War and Beer drinking contests, and also with the Moccisan Dance. What will the club do in the future? Arrangements for a boxing dinner are now well under way. The club has a- greed to take care of the soccer field and. is trying to arrange some soccer _ clinics. Russ Wager built up a great boxing club, and since Russ has left the club would like to take up where he left off. These are just some of the things that the club has done in its short exsistance. And for the future? We need help!! Your help!t! Drop in for a drink, a chat, or what- ever. The next scheduled social will. be on May 20 at the Youth Center on Kennedy St. We have a nice. bar set up in the building as well as some Cooking facilities if you'd like to bring along some food. Come by and haye a game of darts, cards, chess, or checkers. The club gets together every two weeks if you can't make it on the 20th. See you there!

I don't only mean in population but also in conveniences. This was vividly point- - ed out on Friday, April 21, in the Cassiar Rec Centre where the Cassiar Community Club was host to a fashion Show. Though this in- itself is not new,,what is new is that all the Fashions shown were -from local shops; women's fashions and children's fashions alike. Our maternity and new born clothing shop, "Creations", owned and operated by Barb Cameron and Carole Styres, one of our two ladies dress shops, "The Final Touch", owned and operated by Colleen Hewett, Mary Anne Isidoro and JoAnn Michaels, our children's wear store, "Little Peoples" Boutique", owned and operated by Doreen Clements, and the other of our ladies dress shops, "Smiles and Styles", owned and operated by Phyllis Hardy jointly supplied all the clothes for this showing. : All fashion shows require models and where that is concerned we have very good local talent to choose from.
