CASSIAR
LAND RANGERS

The Cassiar Land Rangers
were formed here recently.
The Rangers are sponsored
by the Mothers Group for
Guiding and supported by the
Lions Club of Cassiar. The
new Ranger program is gear-"
ed for individuality for
the girls and is organized
by Miss Sandy Crawford.

There are presently 6
girls, 14 years and older
belonging to the Land Rang-
ers, most of which have
completed their Girl Guide
programs Mary Connelly,
Lois Gleason, Margret Massin
Goody Maxson, Beverly Tom-
ashewski and Jutta Voss.

The Rangers are noted for’
their service to the comm
unity and most recently
helped out with the chid-
rens Xmas Party on Dec,
18th.

On December 19th the Group,

held a candle sale to raise
funds' for the Ranger's
Summer Camp which is locat~
ed in Central British Col-
umbia.

Some of the activities
the girls will be taking
part in include, back-pack-
ing, snow-shoeing and later
this year a general study
of the land and surrounding
enviroment,

The Land Rangers would
like to say thank you to
Mrs. Lora Akey for the use
of her home for the making
of the candles and for
their Xmas Dinner which was
provided by the girls and
held also at Mrs. Akey's
home,

The Cassiar Girl Guides
have had a busy year to
date,

They heid their annual
Xmas Party on December 16th

and the newly enrolled gquid-

es were able to earn their
Hostess Badge's as a result
of the planning and serving
at the party.

The girls also collected
food for a hamper which was
given to a needy family and
one of the girls major pro-
jects was a Tea and Bake
Sale held on December 19th.

», Handmade Xmas stockings and

book markers were sold at
the Tea in order to raise
funds.

GUIDES

Current plans are for
their Thinking Day, to be
held jointly with the Cubs
and Brownies in February
and also the Miss Cookie

in the later part of Feb-
ruary. The girls are busy
preparing their talent, etc,
in order to be a contestant.

The Girl Guides show a
great deal of enthusiasm in
their club and are maint-
aining a high level of work.

They would like to say
a special ''thank you!'' to

help and support.

NEWS FROM
THE COMMUNITY CENTRE

Christmas was a busy time
at the Centre and one of the
busiest days was December
18th, the Children's Xmas
Party. Approximately 250 -
275 very enthusiastic
youngsters ate goodies, re=~
ceived hats, ballons,
noisemakers, presents, can-
dy bags AND met Santa.

Since our usual source of
funds to support this party
was cut by more than two--
thirds, we had to rely on
outside help. A lot of
thanks and appreciation
therefore go out to these
people for their generous
donations:

Although several meetinas
were called to give the moth-
ers of Cassiar an opportunity
to voice their opinions and
help organize this event
only a total of 5 appeared.
Thanks to those ladies for
their interest. Despite
this discouraging fact some
help was received and spec-
ial thanks for all your hard
work goes to these people
who helped Santa wrap gifts
and package the candy baqs

- and to all those who worked
