’ BALLET LESSONS resumed again last’

October. Three classes are being
‘held at present for beginners and
advanced girls. To all interested
mothers I would like to say that I
am pleased with the progress the
girls have made and if you would
like to attend any ofthe lessons
please let me know, you are all

welcome. ~ wll
Another 15 sessions have been

added to the previous class ($15.00
course fee) and hopefully before
the end of April we will be able to
organize a small performance (tenta-
tively April 24). For this purpose
I have arranged a meeting with all
mothers at my house, 775 Malozemoff,
the evening of March 20, 1978 at
8:00 p.m. Also at this meeting I

would like to discuss not only paper

work needed for the performance but

how we can best spend all the regis- |

tration money for much needed equip-
ment. We have bars but we need at
‘least 40 feet of carpet (runners)

and mirror tiles. Please come!

SPINNING & DYEING WORKSIIOP. The

dyeing and spinning course was a

/ | course well worth attending. From

| starting with a raw fleece through

spinning and finally dyeing with all
natural dyes the finished product was
in all cases beautiful. Six women

attended the course and all of them

are eagerly looking forward to putting

their handspun product to use in the

future weaving course.

ASTROLOGY
continued from page 10

-All the Pisceans soft, vam, feminine

needs, urges, wants and desires

. stand out with the cool Scorpion's

secretive nature. The Scorpio will
delight in keeping the Piscean
guessing, .making them insecure which
the Piscean detests. The Piscean will
be the last to know what the
Scorpion's goingito do next but will
be the first to bear the brunt of
their sarcasm.

PISCES WITH SAGITTARIUS - indicates
"desire", The Piscean is capti-=-
vated by the Sapittarians butter-—
fly tactics, optimism and smile.
The Piscean wants desperately to

go where the Sagittarian goes,. and
write their name on the Sagittarians
head so that: ethers know that they
are the Pisceans property. The
Sagittarians enthusiasm towards
flirtation maddens the Piscean, but
if the Piscean can keep jealousy at
a minimal level, the Sagittarian
can be wonderful, whirlwind affair
material.

PISCES WIT! CAPRICORN - indicates
"affection". The Capricorn individ-—
ual is a good, solid, reliable,
realistic port for the emotional

storms of the Piscean. The Piscean

knoys that they can run to the Cap-
ricornean with their problems and
see them solved swiftly. The Piscean
in turn brings poetry, music and
mystery into the Capricorneans life
and bolster their ego.

PISCES WIT AQUARIUS — indicates.
"boredom", The Piscean needs deep

_ sympathetic contact. The Aquarian
_ offers the mental stimulation that
leaves the Piscean always hungry —

for more. More substance, more
affection, more everything. If the

Aquarian relates to the Piscean ‘at
- all, its as one of the Aquarians
“projects. The Piscean finds the

Aquarians company like trying to
diet by eating nothing: but triangles.

PISCES WITIl PISCES - indicates
“attraction. A mutual interdepend-
ence society, the two of you are so
in tune with each other that you
almost vibrate in union. This tends
to be good E.S.P. connections. This
is a friendship to be cultivated
because it will last a life-time.

ADVICE TO TIE: LOVELORN
continued from page 9

Dear Gerta:

You've probably had several letters
lately from people that are taller
than average.

I'm 6'6" tall and every time I go
to the local bar I bang my head
soundly on- the newly constructed
roof.

I try to remember but as the
evening progresses I bang my head
time and time again.

I'm not only developing tremendous
headaches, I'm starting to look like
"Herman Munster".

Do you have a solution for this
problem? — : ;
"Local Sore-Head"

Dear Sore-Head:

This is certainly a "heady" pro-
blem. Perhaps you could wear your ~
chard hat to the bar. After buying

several rounds for the house I'm sure
‘your problem will solve itself.

Gerta.

LIP Project Wrap-up

An organization like the Peace River-
Alaska Highway Tourist Assocation has
to have facts. We are the primary
source for people wanting to find out
all about Region ‘H’, the northern third
of British Columbia. For that reason,
we had a Local Initiative Program (LIP)
grant during the summer so that we
could employ people to gather facts.

Six months, 111 man- weeks and
$18,900 later, we are ready to report
on what we found out, though some
figures are still being compiled.

Our single most useful set of statistics
deal with the accomodation situation -
in the north. Prior to our project, there
was no person or agency which had any
idea at all about the number or kind of
units available. Well, as of our survey
date, we found that Region ‘H’ had
1959 units, with nearly 1,000 of them
in Dawson Creek or Fort St. John, 350
in Fort Nelson and the rest spread out :
over the whole area.

In conjunction with the study of hotel
rooms, we also obrained a traffic count :
so that we could get an idea of whether
the amount of accomodation bore any
relation to the visitors to our area.

For at least a few months last autumn,
it certainly didn’t. We were the first
public body to comment on the.
accomodation crisis in the north. It was
us who tipped off the media in fact.’
Since our report came out, several

-motels have announced extensions and

two hotel developments have _ been -
announced for Fort St. John. We shall .
be keeping our figures up to date as
these developments come to fruition.
For a region which is heavy on the
wilderness experience and related activ-
ities, another set of facts which we
should have available is that relating to
hiking trips and canoe routes. Thanks

to the co-operation which local _resi-

dents have given our LIP project we
now have files on both of these. There

_ are 37 places for canoes detailed, with

write-ups on the tricky ones and a
further 16 hiking trails, from all over
the region.

We also have got together inventories
of special events and special attractions,

tourist resorts and of. course the

region’s Guides and Outfitters.
The information we have collected is
freely available to members or any

The Great North

The Region ‘H’ book package consists of a
new book produced by Tourism British Col-
umbia and for which the Peace River-Alaska
Highway Tourist Association has exclusive
distribution rights, It~is being sold with the
famous mylti-value coin and the ever-pop-
ular Pot 0’ Gold.

The new book is called ‘Beautiful British

‘Columbia’s Great North’, It is a magnificent
36 page full colour job, the same size as the
Pot 0’ Gold. It is devoted entirely to the
North and is a quite adequate answer from
Tourism British Columbia to those disaffected
Northerners who claim that their home area
is always ignored in government promotional

_ literature.

It is really a beauty. Well loaded with
locator maps, it deals with all the natural
divisions. of Region ‘H’ (the northern third
of British Columbia.). It features a whole
nine pages of pictures of the Peace River

_ and the Alaska Highway with the masterly
photography that one expects from Beau-

_tiful British Columbia, (which actually

. produced it.) The Alaska Highway never
: looked so good!

There are aerial pictures of towns one

_ doesn’t see much of in the normal way of

. things. Towns like Stewart, Cassiar, Fort St.

James: there is one quite stunning view of

Atlin over a double page with the mist lying
on the water. Goodbye concrete jungle -

Atlin here we come.

In gift giving, it is frequently appreciated

‘ when the gift reflects something of the giver’s

locality. This package is certainly the defin-
itive Region 'H’ gift. :
It is also a bargain. The ‘Great North’ is
supposed to sell for $1.25; the Pot o’ Gold is
being bought up at a dollar a copy and the
coin goes for $2.00. However, you can have §
the whole $4.25 value mailed anywhere in

' Peace River-Alaska Highway Tourist Assoc.
_That’s what we mean when we say we've
_ got a terrific deal for you! i

We think you'd better rush and get them
hile they're hot! Supplies are NOT unlimited.
