REMEMBER 1 Chrisi..as is a time for
happiness and enjoyment. Don’t cause
sorrow and tragedy to mar these days in
the form of a fire. Make Positively Sure
that your electrical circuits are safe and

not over-loaded; electrical wiring is not
threadbare; Christmas wrappings and
decorations are not too close to lights;
your tree is not a dried out fire trap; your _
guests and yourselves hit the ashtrays
supplied with their lighted cigarettes;

you don’t leave your children unless

they are being cared for by a reliable

sitter; and don’t leave tree lights on when
no one is at home.

The CASSIAR VOLUNTEER FIRE

BR IGADE wishes the residents of Cassiar
and district a fire-free and HAPPY
CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR.

A group of youny people in Cassiar has.
organized a Study Centre for Indian children
in an old cabin just a few milesdown the
road. This is a strictly volunteer group led
by Father McAllister. Every week night for
2% hours one or two of the girls and guys
are in attendance to help these children with
their school work, teach them songs and
games, some cooking, and generally the

things that kids are interested in. The
volunteers learn a lot from the children too.

This group has a very worthwhile pastime
and each one of the group enjoys it. Efforts
such as these often go unnoticed while the |
slightest bit of odd behaviour is noted almost
before it is committed.

We have been enjoying banana-belt weather
for the past 2 months. Since about mid
October there have been very few days with-
out sun, the snow was a long time in coming

__and still isn’t very deep, and the temperatures

have been above 0 almost every day. It is
much more like February than December.
Now if we can just get through the rest of
this month and January we will have it made.
Just have to hope for an abnormal summer,
too. :

Mrs. KAREN ERIKSEN and the Curling
Club jointly sponsored Cassiar’s Fourth
Fashion Show on November 29th. Karen
had the clothes brought down from Carol's
Boutique in Whitehorse. Both ladies and
gents enjoyed the evening, watching the
lovely models show gorgeous clothes. Now
we know what the fashion scene is on the
outside — Pants — A good time was had
by all, and the spring show is looked for-
ward to.
