Page 4 April 1981 Cassiar Courier Boy Scouts of Cana “HOME WAS NEVER LIKE THIS” The week of February 15 -22 was Scout Week, or Baden Powell week, and is remembered by Scouts all over the world. During this week Lord Baden Powell’s birthday is celebrated and honored. * » How did the Cassiar Scouts celebrate Baden Powell’s birthday? Well, we didn’t. We were busy shovelling roofs in order to earn money for a wild- -erness trip. Shovelling roofs is hard work for the boys and when a Scout goes home after seven hours of shovelling snow and he looks tired but Imppy then we, the leaders, know that he deserv- ed his pay and that in the end all the hours of lard work will pay off sometime in his later life. And it is a privilege indeed to contribute some- thing constructive to a Scout’s life. As leaders we have to face many problems, but it is a fact that most of the problems are directly or indirectly caused by the parents and not by the boys. It is at times very frustrating and at times we feel like walking out but then we stop, we look at all the good things and we say to ourselves- No, I could not do that to the kids. And so we keep going and, as the human beings we are, we try to do our best, which very often is not good enough. However, the good sides outweigh the bad ones — like the snowshoe outing we went on. Going snow- shoeing in twenty below weather on a beautiful day and cooking lunch over a fire in the deep snow is something the boys will remember. Or - GUIDING NEWS by J. Faust The Guides have been busy working on badges since February. The Rose Patrol (Pam King, Kate Elhorn, Cheryl Maguire) put on a Thinking Day party for the rest of the Guides and Guide mothers, thereby earning their hostess badges. The girls had to write letters of invitation, provide food and greet guests at the door. They also enter- tained us with a play which they had written themselves. Mrs. Maguire was the badge tester. Snowshoe badges were earned by Pam King, Cheryl Maguire, Kate Elhorn, Debbie Tracey, Asha Lekhi, Emmy Fiorella and Celanka Kraw- czyk. Cross-country ski badges were earned by Pam King, Cheryl Maguire, Kate Elhorn and Cel- anka Krawczyk. For several weeks Connie Cousins has been help- ing the girls to prepare their toymakers badge. She led them through several difficult projects: a cloth book for a pre-school child, a piece of cloth- ing for a doll, making their own paper patterns, and an upholstered cardboard doll’s chair. These projects took considerable perseverance and patience on.the part.of both Connie Cousins and the girls: Connie’s enthusiasm and hard work-is greatly appreciated. The girls are responsible for a fourth item to be selected by themselves from a list of requirements before they can be tested as Toymakers.

What more fun can it be than to sleep in tents in warm sleeping bags while around you everything is froz- en? Learning about gun handling and about the widlifé in the woods and how to use a compass is just one of the many things which a Scout gets to learn. This brings me to another point which is a real problem for the leaders. And the problem istime. We never have enough time to do all the things we would like to do. This limits the amount of activ- ities we would like to do greatly. Because of that, Scouting at times suffers. Weta areal: On March 24 two new Scouts got invested: David Shayler and Darcy Meers. We wish these two new Scouts the best and hope that they have enough strength to stand straight when times get rough. David Madore is the new Patrol Leader and Brian Day the Assistant Patrol Leader. estes se kak eka AIA On March 11, Mrs. Mary Elhorn came to a regular meet- ing of the Brownies to present a number of the Brownies with badges.

The hostess for the occasion was Lynne Rauch and sixteen women attended. The guest speaker was Robin Pike, a social worker with the Ministry of Gian Re- * sources from Dawson Creek. Sitting in on the luncheon was the Honourable D:R. Camp bell, administrative judge of the Provincial Court of B.C. ; who was present in Cassiar for local court proceedings. Be See : . 4, Judge Campbell was unable to participate in the discuss- _ sion at the lunchéon but stated that he would be return- ing to Cassiar in three months time and would be avail- able then to answer any legal questions from Cassiar res- ~ idents. Robin Pike has gained prominence in the Province as a per son who can speak on the problems of northern commun- ities. She has special training in specific areas concerning child welfare, unwed mothers, child abuse and family counselling and has been appointed to the Provincial Court of B.C. Rules Committee under the new Family and Child Services Legislation. Robin gave an informative talk on the roles of women in the economic development of Northern towns. She discussed that women’s needs should be considered in town planning. She said, that it is important not « aly, to plan mines and ‘mills in the ‘north but _also to consider all the services necessary for families —.in. particular, location. of shopping facilities, availability of iob training programs, library services, day care and womens centres. Robin presented a film entitled ‘No Life for a Woman’ The film examined women’s problems in the towns of Fraser Lake and Mackenzie. It discussed the “front room ~ curtains of depression hanging there”. This was well ill- ustrated by the camera focusing on a number of trailers which had the front curtains drawn. Interviews followed and revealed that behind those curtains were depressed WO.’ men, often women with young children and nowhere else to go. The film then showed how a women’s centre can . help. alleviate this situation, The result of setting up a. women’s centre was a.very, positive step indeed. Ae BRET The centre - -helped with a counselling program -became a drop in centre where women could talk about their problems and ‘not be judged. .-formed a crisis line for women -became a place for women to go when their husbands were on shift work and a place to meet people -offered referral for legal counselling. It was run by a cross section of concerned’ women with no specific training but who were interested enough to want to help. Following the film a general discussion took place. It was noted that in Cassiar there is no womens centre or any , place for women to go yet, unlike the towns discussed, . more womien work in Cassiar. It is a pity that of the women present at the luncheon we are unable to get feedback from a wider representation of our community.

And yet, when we look at Scripture, we discover that in the earliest proclamation of the Christian church, in the message that lies behind the letters of Paul and the sermons in the book of Acts, the empty tomb is never mentioned. It is only thirty or forty. years later, with the writing of the gospels, that the story of the empty tomb comes to the fore as a testimony to the resurrection. For the earliest Christians the truth of the resurrection was not to be found in a burial ground in Jerusalem; it was to be found in the over- whelming experience of the presence of the Lord Jesus and his power to transform lives through his Spirit. After the crucifixion, the band of apostles huddled in confusion and fear, shut away in the darkness and obscur- ity of the upper room; but suddenly this group of men and women emerge utterly transformed, full of faith, hope, courage and tremendous assurance, and in the course of twenty years take their good news, resolutely and heroically, to the far corners of the known world. Saul the Pharisee, steeped in self-righteousness and per- secuting the people who dared to question the sacred trad- # itions he worshipped, is suddenly made a new man, Paul the Apostle, born again onthe Damascus road and given a new lease on life to preach the good news of salvation to the end of the earth. i The presence and power of the risen Lord to trans- form human lives, to make old things new, dead bones lives this, then and now, is the surest proof of yl resurrection to life with God. The risen Lord is constantly at work, transforming and saving human lives; though his presence and power are not always recognized. When a woman finds the inner re- - sources to cope with the sudden death of a child or a hus- band, and is able to transcend her grief and strike off into _ a new life, that is experience of resurrection.

But if we were to look around for people who have a real grasp of what resurrection is, chances are we wouldn’t necessarily find them amongst the clergy, or in the pews f our churches. To discover people who have a profound understanding of what it means to be given new life by the grace of God, perhaps the best place to look is a meet- ing of Alcoholics Anonymous. Here are people who can talk candidly about having been in the throes of sin, de- scending further and further into the depths of social, spir- itual and physical death. Then, when they have ‘bottomed out’ in this slavery to the power of sin, something has hap- pened. They have ‘seen the light’, they have been address- ed by some ‘Higher Power’ who has challenged them to seek to reclaim their lives. Listen to them talk: they will say, quietly and with 4 directness most churchpeople would find embarassing, ‘We've been given a second chance, and we’re the luckiest people on God’s earth.’ They will share this experience of resurrection with you humbly, calling it ’a gift’, ‘the grace of God’. something undeserved and utterly precious. You will hear of the struggle and cost involved in dying to the old in order to be raised to the new. And you will hear people talk about life, and love, and the beauty of creation as though they were something wonderful and splendid that had just been discovered. And, indeed for them, the beauty and joy of life is a new discovery, found only as they have turned - from death-in-life and awoken to fully human life. Nor is this new life they have found purely individual. It must find its expression in community, in reaching out to others, to share that experience, that joy, that new life, reaching out in compassion and love to those who are still in the darkness and struggling to reach the light. The new life, the risen life, cannot exist without that drive to com- munity; only in community is life truly human: This ts the real proof of the resurrection — the ever- present power of God to transform lives, to let us be born again, to turn away from the slavery of sin and death to the rapture of fully human life. The glory of God is man and woman fully alive. May the risen Lord transform your - lives so that they become truly the glory of God. é ' . A happy Easter-to you all.
