“THE SWITCH"

The final selection of songs by Grades 9 and
10 was a "lead-in" for Wendy to lead the audience
in a "Sing-a-long' and her personality and
enthusiasm had the 200 strong audience singing,
clapping their hands and tapping their feet.

And so to the Grand Finale with all the
performers on stage. Wendy thanked everybody
for their assistance and enthusiasm and then
introduced the “back-stage" boys to the audience.

Social life in and about Cassiar has died
down considerably since Summer has supposedly
descended upon us (in the form of raindrops) so
our Social Section is not as lengthy as we'd
like it to be. However, many people are
frequenting the lakes and picnic areas around
here and we're sure they're not sun bathing and
fishing all the time. SO0009 - if you or your
friends are doing anything interesting that can
be shared with our readers, please advise Rose
or George so we can put it in the sheet.

Also, you Fishermen, Danny would be real
interested to find out about all your record
catches too so he can publish them and pictures
if any, in his Sports Section (and-------- -we're
sure he wouldn't even ask where you caught them??)

Limestone Mountain was brutally attacked
again July lst, in the wee hours of the morning
by a group of 4 - LIVELY??? mountaineers, with
wet feet, so we understand. AND - would you
believe - they made it to the top - must have
been the almonds and raisins the 2 girls
brought along for energy food that did it - or,
was it the liquid refreshment? Limestone will
never be the same, Arnie and Ted and girls.

THE INTERESTING STORY OF MEASUREMENTS.

Since time began, man has always measured
the world around him. The caveman judged
distances by eye or time, compared sizes by
paces or by matching objects with trees, stones
or mountains that he knew from memory. His
world demanded no accuracy - any size cave would
do if his family would fit into it.

His body became his yardstick. As his
needs required greater accuracy, his height,
his arms outstretched, his feet and hands
became rough methods of measuring clothing,
weapons, etc.

No ssandards were ever recorded - each
person had his own methods of measuring for
his own needs - each person worked alone when
measurements were involved.

In about 6000 B.C. the first known standards
of measurements were established in the
advanced civilizations along the Nile and on
the plains of Chaldea.

The CUBIT became the prime measurement. It
was the bent forearm from the point of the
elbow to the tip of the middle finger of the
outstretched hand - roughly 18 to 19 inched.

The Cubit was used in building all the Pyramids.
Each side measures 500 cubits, and all measure-
ments are in multiples, or fractions of Cubits.
The perimeter of the Pyramids measures 2,000
Cubits, or half a Meridian mile.

The SPAN - the length between the tip of
