Se Tra& Bake Sale Z

An afternoon tea and bake sale was
held in the basement of the Roman Catholic
Church on Saturday, December 15th, 1973.
It was cosponsored by the Roman Catholic
Ladies Auxillary and the Cassiar Guides
and Brownies.

This event was very well attended by
the ladies of Cassiar and even a few of
the brave men. The ladies were most
congenial and allowed the men to have
coffee with them. Of course the baking
disappeared quite rapidly as usual.

The highlight of the afternoon was the
presentation of a much covetted Guiders
Camping Badge and Licence to Mrs, Laura .
Akey, Cassiars Guide Leader. Mrs. B. Roe,
President of Guides Parent Body, had the
honor of presenting Mrs. Akey with her
award. The badge was earned last summer
for Laura's efforts in organizing and
operating the Guides Camp held at Chain
Lakes. Mrs. Akey spent many hours of
hard work and it is most appreciated.

Congratulations to Mrs. Laura Akey!

Vivian Cousins was the lucky winner
of the Gingerbread house baked by Hilda
Voss.

SN Mexican Fiesta! @

On December 10-12 a celebration was held
at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in honor of
Our Lady of Guadalupe. Father F. Triggs,
O.M.I., from Watson Lake, was invited to
Cassiar by the Parish Council. He was
asked to speak on Our Lady for he has
visited her shrine in Mexico City. During

the three days we honored her in various

ways, Such as, the rosary and a slide
liturgy set to musc. Following the Mass on
December 12th, we all gathered in the par-
ish hall for a Mexican Fiesta. There was
Mexican food of all varieties specially
prepared by Mrs. Dudas, Mrs. Tiszolczi,

and many others who gave so generously of
their time. To complete the evening the
children all expressed their excitement in
trying to break the pinata which hung from
the hall's ceiling. Mrs. Dudas did such a
fantastic job in here efforts to "create"
it that we're sure that it must have taken
just as long for the children to break it!
Once broken nothing could be seen except

8 lbs. of candy spilling all over the floor
and squeals of many happy children in
ecstacy at such a sight. We would like to
thank everyone who made this such a great
success!
