THIS N’ THAT...
from HERE N’ THERE

m Looks like there's a move afoot to
open a Day Care facility for working
families in Cassiar. Questionnaire di-
stributed to get a reading on the need
for one. We'll try and report the out-
come.
@ Attended our first session of the
Provincial Court. Must say we were im-
pressed - some good, some bad. You'll
note the Court is reported elsewhere
in this issue. Would hope others wo-.
uld come forward and report on Court
sessions held in other towns in Cas-
siar contr .-———_—————————
w VINCENT JOHNNY...Last month we pub-
lished a short, terse obituary on the
death of Vincent Johnny of Good Hope
Lake. We never knew Vince, but since
his death have learned a bit, espec-
ially from the pages of ''Big Game Hu-
nting in the West'', by Mike Crammond,
‘Sports Editor of the Vancouver Sun.

Vince's passing deserves more than
a few terse lines. His abilities as
a guide and hunter, and his courage
and skill in the woods were well-kn- |
own.

On one occasion, Mike Crammond was
filming a charging female grizzly and
hé couldn't get out of her way fast .
enough. Vince took his wired-together
30-30 and dropped the bear at Mike's
feet - six shots in the shape. of a cr-
oss in the bear's skull. He saved Cra-
mmond's life.

The book relates many hunting trips
and events about Vince Johnny complete
with photos of Vince and some of the —
trophy animals he guided Mike to, wri-
tten with respect and admiration for
the Cassiar guide and hunter who left
us last month. |

Happy hunting, Vince ——————————

w Never thought we'd get dragged to a
Fashion Show, but yielded on 27 Nov.
--along with 250 others. We got a good
look at what our women will probably
spend a pile of money on this winter.
Successful evening, spiced by a fire.
alarm about 1/2 hour into the program
which siphoned off some of the big |
spenders for awhile.
m@ IMPORTANT: Many volunteer firemen
were blocked in the Recreation Hall
parking lot during the Fashion Show.
They couldn't get out to respond to
the fire call. When you park at the -
Rec Hall for an event, LEAVE ROOM FOR
CARS or Gel OU se et eee
We've been asked by Some why we pub-
lish formal charges against Cassiar
country residents by the RCMP. They
say that in a small town like ours,
published charges tend to brand peo-
ple forever.RESPONSE: We would hope:
that no one ever brands anyone because
they make a mistake. We all make then,
and are hopefully forgiven. Second,
we represent the people, and when the
RCMP makes formal charges against the
offenders, they do so in the name of
the people. That's you, and you have
a right to know this information.
Third, it may be that someone will

think twice--before--they- -break- the -Law---++-Fe+:

if they know the transgression will
be public knowledge. The Editorial
Board of the Courier has decided to
continue our policy of reporting for-
mal charges and disposition of them
in sessions of Provincial Court.
m@ Who says journalism doesn't pay?
Edith Josie of Old Crow, well-known
Native newspaper columist and aut-
hor has been named Justice of the
Peace for the Old Crow commmity.
@ Hoped to have further information
from Telegraph Creek on their $44,300
LIP Grant for cutting wood, repairing
homes, painting, cutting trail along
the old Telegraph Trail for trappers,
building storage, etc. Also wanted to
learn more about plans in Dease Lake
for their community center grant of
$37,000. Haven't heard from anyone,
and haven't had time to visit. Will
try and report next month.
m Peter Jones of Terrace has been ap-
pointed a constituency contact by Io-
na Campagnola of the Skeena riding.
Office will be set up in Terrace soon,
and we'll publish address, phone num-
ber etc. as info becomes available —

Good Hope Lake

by George Holman

The ice skating rink has been sta-.
rted. It's larger this year - reg-.
ulation size. A program is in the
making for a kid's and community
hockey team. The new location along
the highway makes for safer usage.
Plans for a change house are in the
mill. The rink is maintained by
volunteers headed by Gerald Le-
Tourneau.

The Ladies Social Club is work-
ing to raise funds for the Child-

- ren's Christmas Party to be held
Friday, December 17, 1976. This is
an annual event in conjunction
with the School Christmas program.

Both Anglican and Catholic ser-
“vices are now being held in Good
Hope Lake.

There's a Safety Rally being
held in Dease Lake by Highway Dept.
personnel from 5 Highway camps in
the area. These rallies make the
Highway workers increasingly saf-
ety conscious for their safety and
for the driving public.

Good Hope Lake appreciates the .
opportunity to be a part of the
Cassiar Courier.
