ALL ABOUT MY MUM

My mother is the greatest mother
-in the whole world because every

clothes and makes breakfast, lunch
and dinner.

My mum is a good mother and she
does what she thinks is best for
uS. When we are wrong my mum
corrects us.

I love my mother and she deserves
‘more than any other mother,

MY° MOTHER

My mother is the greatest mother
in the world because she cooks good
food for me and when she is mad. at
me she only yells but doesn't spank.

When I don't understand something
she explains it to me. When she comes
home from a trip she usually brings

from a trip she says she missed me.

Brian Grant
Grade 4

My mother is the best mother in
the world because she doesn't spoil
me.

She buys sensible things.

My mother's cooking is good. She
cooks things’I like, for instance,
corn on the cob because she loves
me.

She takes me on most of her holi-
days all over the place.

My mother listens to me when I am
talking to her.

AN OSCAR _-

for MY TOWN

The evening of April 12 brought
home to many residents the beauty
of Cassiar--our town. Some of us
have lived here for many years and
have in our own way appreciated
Cassiar for what it was, but it was
through the eyes and "lens" of
others that we were shown many things
that we didn't know or often take for
granted,

The SERN? was advertised as a
"trial run" for the gentlemen of the
community who were to present papers
to the annual convention of the
Canadian Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy, (CIMM) held at the Van-
couver Bayshore Inn, April 24, 25,
26 and 27. After prefatory remarks
from Mr. Peter Steen, and an intro-
duction of the guest speakers, Mr.
Brian Pewsey presented the film en-
titled "Cassiar--My Town", The film,

which gave an overview of the village

of Cassiar, was then followed by

Papers given by Mr. G. Hewitt, Mr. G.
Leathtey, Mr. P. Jones, Mr. D. Cook
and Mr. M.

Taylor on specific mining
topics} these papers accompanied by
slides and commentaries. The final
film entitled "The Magic Mineral"
seemed to recap all that was present-

ed in the program.

in showers, and 3 toilets. There .
will be one,main locker room on
each floor with 10 individual lock-
ers. The buildings are hot-water
heated allowing for some individual
heat control in each room, Buildings
are equipped with smoke and fire
detection systems.

"Barron and Associates" were the
consultants for minimizing noise
factors and their recommendations
have been incorporated in the plans.
Some of the main features are:

1. entrances and common facilities
‘are not located near sleeping rooms.
2. soundproofing in walls, floors
and partitions.

3. solid core doors.

4. individual supply lines to each
room's sink - no sound transmission.
5. accoustically designed insulation
between top floor and ceiling.

The addition of the above bunk-
houses will certainly be an asset,
making Cassiar a "better place to
live" for many of our single people.

Pictured at left is an
artist's conception of
how one of the new bunk-
house. units will appear
upon completion.

Frieda Forbes certainly has something
to smile about. For the details, see
BINGO, page 7.
