ARLENE BORSATO:

The Borsato Familv has lived in Cassiar
for ten years now and Arlene first came to
Cassiar as a visitor the summer of 1959. During
most of the year Arlene stayed out and attended
school coming home only for vacations. In 1962,
Arlene got her first job at Cassiar as a student
worker in the office.

After graduation, in 1963, Arlene was back
in Cassiar, this time for a longer period. She
stayed for one year and worked in the Time Office
and Reception Office and then her “itchy feet”
took her off to City Life, namely Vancouver.

After two years the glow of the city lights
had worn off and Arlene returned to Cassiar -
May 5, 1966 and started working as Telex ‘perator
in the Reception %ffice. From there she moved to
Receptionist and is now Secretary to Mr. Caron.

April 1965. She started work as a Lab.

Technician in August 1965, took a few months off from
July to December 1966 and is now Lab Clerk. She
considers the other girls a good bunch to work with,
and Marv should know, she has a family of six girls
herself, including two sets of twins. Three of Mary's
daughters have been married since coming to live in
Cassiar. For those who aren't familiar with Mary, she
is the little blonde, left handed curler who seldom
fails to put her rock where it will do most good:

LAURIE FITZSIMMONS:

Laurie hails from New Zealand, she came to Cassiar
after heing in Canada for two years. This is not her
first time in the North, before coming to Cassiar
Laurie worked at Norman Wells in the North West Terri-
tories. She came to Cassiar - Christmas DAy, 1965.

Laurie came to Cassiar, not to make money, or get
away from City Life, but to be married to Joe Fitzsimmons
whom she had met at Gunner Mines. Her wishes were to
stav home and be a loving housewife but they were short
lived and she started doing relief work in the Cassiar
Nospital - Nursing, in 1966. Laurie went back and forth
from steady work to relief work for some time but is
now working steadv. She has been working for two years
steadv in the Hospital - first as Nurse and now as
Clerk-Receptionist. When you hire on, Laurie is the one
who very pleasantly greets you at the Hospital doors and
asks you to come into her office where she proceeds to
make beeping sounds into you ear - (with a funny little
machine), to see if you can hear.

Laurie's comment is that she is quite happy in the
North and really likes it, she has enjoyed herself all
the while she has been in Cassiar.
