"The Curling Club Windup canes to roundolt: the busy curling season, was a success. Many prizes were given with special. thanks to all those who helped out during the winter months. It seemed that a few tables were in fine singing form that “nite. I don’t want to mention names but Liver- pool accents seemed to grow stronger as the evening wore on. The local poundathon started out on a lighter note so to speak. It seems we are gaining a few pounds —--—-no doubt due to: the scales not truly recording our dietary efforts and exercise. Helen, have you had those scales fixed yet? We hear Grant Raymond scored a 29 at crib. Seems like there were plenty around to help him celebrate. The eleven bridge enthusiasts who took the _lessons offered by Northern Lights College this _ spring, held a social at Sherry Sethan’s place on June 1. Six tables participated with high lady being Kathy DeCecco, High Man was Neil McGowan; low lady was Gina Duri and low man was none other than College instructor, Frank Buckley.

The setting of the first Provincial Court, with Judge Collins:of Terrace presiding, opened with- out pomp or ceremony. i The court was held in the community hall. The large home-made wood stove was stoked with wood and court was called to order. All was quiet as the Judge entered from his chambers (the kitchen in the hall) and proceeded to the bench (a banquet table), All that could be heard was the crackle of firewood in the big stove and the sweet smell of jack pine. F The Judge and court officials sat down and the proceedings of court ran its usual pace, until the Judge seemed at a loss, looking for something - a calendar. No calendar on his desk, no calendar on the walls - not a flag or a picture of the Queen on the bare walls. Crown Council came to the rescue by offering the Judge a calendar which was printed on the back of his package of cigarettes. The Judge bor- rowed the package of cigarettes with the calen- dar, assuring Crown Council that he would not steal any of the cigarettes. Court continued, with the next sitting in Dease Lake set for Aug- ust 1979. THANK YOU The Dease Lake Women’s Club appreciates the support of all who attended the Box Social.

Jim Fulton, New. Democratic Party - In May our Brown Owl, Nada Carin, went to Vancouver for a Guiding Conference. This con- ference was extremely important as it dealt with the changes which are taking place in Guiding this year. Nada learned a great deal which she hopes will be of use to our Brownies and to a » Guide Pack, if one should start in Cassiar. _ At the moment one or two people have express- ed an interest in organizing a Guide Pack in Sept- ember. However, we could still do with a few more volunteers as the more there are the less there is for any individual person to do. We hope that a Guide Pack does form this September as so many of our Brownies are eligible to become Guides this year. The lack of a Pack would be _ quite disappointing to so many of our girls. If you are interested in helping please contact Nada Carin at 778-7366. The following Brownies have been awarded badges- ez Celenka Krawczyk - Housekeeping and writing Alexia Jones - Housekeeping : Kate Elhorn - Cooking Proud ae of the Golden Hand and xe the Golden’ Bar Awards” Sate Our: Brownie Banquet was_ held ‘on May 23rd. Each Brownie brought a guest to the banquet. After a short programme, presented by the Brownies, a delicious supper was served. Anne Pewsey proposed a toast to the Queen; Alexia Jones proposed a toast to the Brownie Mothers and. Tammy Lumsden proposed a toast to all guests. We were pleased to note that the state of the Arts in Cassiar is still in fairly good form after - the production of two one act plays. Both of - these works were written by members of the club and were well received by the public who turned out to view them. The first number, in three scenes, was titled ‘“Disco Workshop” and was written in collaboration by Michelle Clem- ents and Barbie Billingsley. The second, ““Mur- der and the Principal’s Daughter’ was an im- provisation by Barbara Guderjahn in three DISCO WORKSHOP Left to Right: Tracey King (mother), Sara Hollings (Nichole), Barbara Rankin (Bill); Karen qavlor (Sean - toy maker). es ‘CASSIAR YOUTH DRAMA CLUB BROWNIE NEWS @ During the banquet our Brown Owl made a fare- well presentation’ to Tawny Owl Doreen and to Anne Pewsey. Doreen has been an active helper in Brownies for the past few years and her help will be greatly missed. Anne has been a Brownie for the past three years. We hope you continue guiding in Vancouver, Anne, and we wish both you and your mother the best of luck in your new location. The Brownie Leaders and the Brownies wish to extend a big “Thank You” to all the mothers and guests who have participated in the Brownie Meetings during the past year. Without all this volunteer help a Brownie Pack would not be possible in Cassiar. Thank you also to the var- ious organizations which have supported us S gate ing the past year. lst Cassiar Brownie Pack TU UUUANEUEU EEUU by C.

This provided the theme and working section of the conference. For the first time the Guides will be wearing green as part of the uniform of a new branch, to be called Path- finders. Mrs. J. M. Runcie, the new Provincial Commis- sioner, was introduced at the conclusion of the conference. She will assume the responsibility of the more than thirty-one thousand British Col- umbia members.
