Six communities

linked together

by Route 37, and
a future tilled

with change!

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

This is the area the Cassiar Courier
will try to serve. We're all within a
_short vide of each other, and what oc-

in one community does effect the
others.

If there's a problem common to all,
the Courier can present a unified vo-
ice to 'powers-that-be" to get actions
and solutions.

What will happen when the proposed
railroad comes through, for example?
Will it help, hinder or harm? You can
express your thoughts in the Courier.
Have the people been asked what they
think the railway will do?

If there's a stove in Telegraph Cre—
ek that can keep someone in Quartz Cre-
ek warm, the Courier can put the warm

Letters
TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor:

I don't know who you are, what your
opinions are, or what your paper is
going to look like. Therefore, how
can I write a Letter to the Editor?

What kind of a crazy, mixed-up bu-
nch of nuts are you, anway? You got
a lot of nerve asking for a letter

about nothing!
Already disgruntled,

with the cold.

Wherever people live together, there
will be controversy. It will happen
here, too. The Courier will present
both sides of controversy as fairly
and objectively as possible, even tho-
ugh we are well aware it is sometimes
be impossible to determine the real tr-
uth. We'll do our best. —

THE FUTURE: We hope to crawl, walk and
eventually run. If we're healthy enou-
gh in about six months, we'll publish
every two weeks.- It may be that some--
day we'll be a weekly newspaper. Who
knows? It's
combined with our ability to perform a
service to you-that will be the answer.

DISEASE, ETC., ETC.

This was the recent picture painted of
this community by a radio program from
the Yukon Territory.

Let's clear the: air!

Good Hope Lake is not an underworld
crime center, nor is it a filthy, dis-
ease ridden slum.

Like many northern communities, Good
Hope Lake has its share of trials and
tribulations.

The information in the broadcasts

-was a collection of incidents that hap-

pened in several areas of northern BC.

‘When aired, the only name mentioned was

Good Hope Lake, and the incidents desc-
ribed were not authenticated by the
person or persons originating the re-
port.

Good Hope Lake is nestled in the Ca-
ssiar Mountains on Highway 37. It con-
sists of a Highway Maintenance Camp and
Indian community. It boasts a popula-
tion of 130. There is a two-building
school with oe to seventh egr-
ade classes.

WHAT!S NEW IN GOOD HOPE LAKE?

...-Dept. of Highways recently completed
new sewer project that now services all
buildings and trailer units in the com-
munity.

.-New bunkhouse facility completed and
opened November 1. Edward Hooper was
first tenant to move into the new unit.
...Road Construction on the 3 miles Of 4:4
highway north of the Rt 37 Cassiar jun-—
ction has been complete for this year.

mence next spring. ;
