Mrs. Evelyn Rattray leaves Ministry of Highways Evelyn Rattray leaves Ministry of Highways af- ter 22 years service. Evelyn started with the Highways July 1956 as camp cook. It was real pioneer road building, as Evelyn can - attest, as she started out cooking in a tent fora twelve man crew at Cormier Creek. The first cookhouse at Good Hope Lake was a small trailer in which it took four shifts for one meal. There were no fancy tools or modern conven- iences in those early days. During her 22 years service at Good Hope Lake Ev not only served as cook, but was hostess for visiting government officials, stranded travellers, doctor, nurse, midwife for the camp and local native population. Her main interest lies in community and cultural development for the Native people in the Cassiar and Good Hope Lake area. Some of her achieve- ments are: The first school in Good Hope Lake 19 years ago Housing program initiated in 1974, to date have ll log homes for native families. Power plant to service these homes. First- school bus between Good Hope Lake and Cassiar. Instrumental in getting the two new Govern- ment services in Cassiar - Human Resources and Public Health Nurse. ~ These are just a few! Evelyn has also raised six fine children. Their growing up in this area with all the contacts-with people Eve has worked with,has greatly helped them to learn the importance of communication with others. _ Evelyn presently lives in Cassiar, where her hus- band “Jock”? John Rattray operates the Gold- star Service Centre. Evelyn keeps herself busy there at one of her favorite hobbies, making native Tahltan parkas, and selling native craft work. _ Evelyn plans to continue her role in the com- munity in the Cassiar region, specializing in housing. and other native needs. GOOD HOPE LAKE NEWS THE SKY WORLD AND THE GREAT CHIEF High above this world there is an invisible world, this is the home of the Great Chief, who is ruler over all. He is the giver of all life, be it vegetable, animal, marine, or human. He is the creator of all things. from the tiniest blade of grass. to the largest animal. I know that he loves and cares for every- thing that he has created. I know that he created me in his own image and called me Ong-wa-hoo- ee, or human. This does not make me superior to other created things, it makes me responsible for their protection. As protector I must con- stantly guard them against contamination or pollution because they are all a part of our mother, the Earth. There are often things that are pant of himself. Is pure air not his very breath? Is pure sunshine not the energy that comes from him? Is sparkling water not part of his pureness? . These sacred things I must always hold in rever- ence, and be quick to give him thanks. If I were to harm any one of these I know that he would hold me responsible. I know that if Iam true to my great Chief and always do that which he would have me do, someday I will cross a bridge and be with him forever.
