The Childrens Christmas party was
held on December 22 in the afternoon and
the youngsters were treated to some
excellent entertainment by Mrs. Loverin
and her friends along with a group of men
from the bunkhouse who entertained on
homemade instruments. This was enjoyed
by all. Santa arrived with the help of
the Fire Department and gave out gifts to
over 250 children in attendance. Due to
the fuel crisis it was unfortunate that
some of the gifts to be given by Santa
did not arrive but after a hectic night
by some of Santas Helpers we hope enough
were available so that every child receiv-
ed a gift. If your youngster did not
receive a gift from Santa please contact
Frank McLean at the Rec. Hall and perhaps
this can be rectified. A hearty vote of

thanks to all those who helped make this

a pleasant time for the youngsters ZY
especially Mrs. Tarasuk and the girls

home for the holidays who assisted Santa
in his chores.

New Year Revelries!

A solid sold out crowd raised the roof
off the Rec Hall on December 3lst Eve to
ring out '73 and "cheers" in '74. Event-
ually the roof returned but settled a
little off centre, however, since the
Maintenance Crews have to show up anyway
maybe they can reline it to Dead Centre.

I wish to take this opportunity now to
thank one and all who helped the band
"Jr. Son of Tahltan'' during their perfor-
mance; the Bar Staff and Rec Hall Staff
that were present. Also, thanks to the
people who gave their time to help the
affair, Mr. R. Ash, Mr. A VanHeel, and
Mr. L. Kutz.

Party hats, noise makers, streamers
and balloons were in evidence during the
whole affair also a single rusty looking,
sad sounding bugle.

The T.V. was on stage to syncronize the
coming and going of the years; Guy
Lombardo did the honour of the official
"Count Down" with his group the Royal
Canadinas from New York's Waldorf Astoria
Hotel. Some people say Cassiar is isolated

The door prize was won by Ron Lowe,
Kennedy Street.

The Moose-Milk bottled for and raffled
by the Rod and Gun Club was won by Terry
Roberts.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
ALL THE BEST IN 19/4
