little mishaps there was always some-
one to help get the machine back on
the trail. We are sure everyone had
a good time.

SKIING

In the: 7 2:8t two o: three years
skiing has be :ome incr :asingly rfopu-
lar in Cassier and thi» year shows
promise of continuing the trend.

Last year, as most of you hnow a
Yukon Cup Race was heli here. This
sparked a keca interest in skiing and
with two races slated in Cassiar this
year we feel assured that enthusiasm
will continue to increase.

Durin:y the summer, McDame Mtn.
Ski Club mide an important change. Up
until this tiwe the club has been an:
isolated mamt2r of the Wéestem Division
of the Can:dien Amateur Ski Association.
Because of ovr proximity to the Yukon,
it was sugzested that we join the Yukon
Division. Tha Club Executive then
went to the Yukon Division President
(who happens to be Jerry Lees) end in
mid June, at a meeting in Montreal,
Cassiar became a member of the Yukon
Division of the C.A.S.A.

With the coming season McDame
Mtn. Ski Club will be sending a team
to compete for the Yukon Cup and from
this competition a team will be chosen
to represent the Yukon Division in the
Canada Winter Games this February. So
let us see a few more "Hot Shots" on
the slope, and put Cassiar in the
running.

CROSS COUNTRY SKI TEAM

A World Class cross country ski
team arrived in Cassiar on December 14.
The team had been invited to Cassiar
to help prepare themselves for inter-
national competition. It is hoped that

during their stay our local skiers
may benefit from their practices and
demonstrations.

These skiers have won inter--
national races in Europe and North
America and there is every possib-
ility that they may be Olympic Gold
Medal winners of the future.

We ask that our community extend
their usual hospitality to these
athletes to make their stay a pleasant
one. ;

PRESIDENT

CASSIAR DRUM CORPS.

A Trumpet and Dium Corps has been
formed in our tom. At the present
time instruction is being given in
both instruments.

Although an effort is being
made to secure additional instruments
more support is needed and any dona-
tion, no matter how small, will zo a
long way to giving us a band for
community events and parades. More
boys and girls are needed now to round
out the band membership.

There is to be no cost to the

_ bandsman for instrument or instruction,

other than $1.00 per month for music
and instrument repair. The only stip-
ulation being that members be from
Grades 4 to 9.

Anyone already playing or owning
a brass or reed instrument will be
most welcome. All donations may be
made directly to the “‘Cassiar Drum
Corps" account at the Royal Bank.
