8° CASSIAR COURIER MARCH *1978—
Treat Yourself to...
Ladies Luncheon

- The second Ladies Monthly Lunch-
eon was held-in the Arena Lounge
on Tuesday, Feb, 14. About 40
ladies tucked into the delicious
buffet lunch with relish, the
decor had a decided Valentine's
Nay touch adding to the enjoyment
of the meal.

The guest speaker, Mrs. Ililda
Watson, was welcomed by Judy
Fitzsimmons. Mrs. Watson, who is
the M.L.A. for the Haines Junction
riding in the Yukon Territory,
noted the geographical and social
Similiarities between the Yukon
and Northern B. C. and then gave
-the audience a precis of her own
background and her advent into

politics.

- The speaker's topic of the "New
Role of Women in our Society"
sparked a lively interest and
pertinent comments from those
present. Mrs. Watson first pointed
out the plus factor in women's
changing role; no longer are they
expected to stay at home in the
stifling mode of yesteryear, eman-
cipation is with us ina refreshing,
healthy atmosphere. There is how-
ever, a price tag on woman's
emergence from the house - notably
the cost to society of maternity
leave, unemployment benefits and
state aided day-care facilities.

Mrs. Watson felt that we are in

danger of losing control of the
next generation by repulating the
responsibility of caring for our

families to the state. Mrs. Watson's

Closing observation was that we

must not forget that the cornerstone,

of society is the family wit. |
This generated a general discussion |
and interchange of ideas.

The next ladies luncheon is being |

planned for Tuesday, March 14 in

the Arena Lounge. The suest speaker

will be Jean Harbottle fron White-
horse. She is the author of 'Women
in the Bush" and will speak about
women in the Gold Rush days.

Quartet Tarrango

- "Perfect mastery of

guitar technique Lpakemerte tls
Marvelous interpretive

secsitivity" - MADRID

Through arriving a.half
hour late; the Quartet
Tarrango performed a two
hour concert of classical
guitar which should not
have been missed.

The guitar quartet was
formed in Barcelona, Spain.
All four soloists studied
under the famed master,
Tarrango, the emminent
professor of the guitar at
the Barcelona Conservatory
of Music. Their repertoire
ranges from 16th century
madrigals to Stravinsky
suites.

The Quartet appeared in
formal costume, instantly
gaining the respect of the
audience. The three male
guitarists were dressed in
tuxedos and the lady of the
quartet appeared in a long
gown of deep rose.

Through movements of
J.S. Bach and F. Sor, their
four guitars blended
together in a perfect

THE SILMARILLION

by J.R.R. Tolkien

The Silmarillion is the core of |
J.R.R. Tolkien's imaginative writing.
Although he began the work before
writing The Lord of the Rings, he
was still working on it at the tine

of his death. Tolkien considered

The Silmarillion his most important ia

harmony. The Stravinsky
Suites 1 and 2 were
originally arranged for four
Spanish lutes. The Tarrango
Quartet have rearranged the
suites for four guitars in

a version both entertaining

' and unique.

"La Priére du ‘torero"
by J. Turina was another
score originally written
for Spanish lutes. This
piece when interpreted by
the Tarrango Quartet brings.
together high tonal uae
and atmosphere.

The Quartet performed
an evening of soft and
gentle music. With the
limit of entertainment which
reachs us here in Cassiar,
it was a shame that this
talented Quartet performed
to such a small but '
enthusiastic audience.
However, the performance was
an enjoyable treat for the
Cassiarites who did attend.

work, as this great collection of
tales and Jegends clearly sets the
stage for all his other works. This
is the story of the creation of the
world and the happenings of the First
Age. It is an ancient drama to which
the characters of The Lord of the.
Rings look back, and in whose events,
some of them, such as Elrond and
Galadriel, took part.

The book includes several other
shorter works in addition the The

Silmarillion itself.

The Doctor decided’ to put Mrs.
Mulligan onadiet. |

‘You can have three lettuce leaves,’
he said, ‘one piece of dry toast, a

glass of orange juice and a tomato.’

‘Very well, doctor, said Mrs.

before or after meals?’ ,°

“ ADVICE 10 THE LOVELORN

Dear Editor of the Cassiar ae
I would like to apply for the
position as Problem Solver for the

Cassiar Courier. }

My experience comes from living
in the north for Many years as an
observer of people. I truly helieve
that most of our emotional problems
stem from the long cold winters we
have to endure,

I am approximately 39 years old
and female. My height is 189 cm.,
my weight is 35 kp. I am a true
blonde with brown eyes and I have
a beauty spot on my right cheek.

As for my political views. Well,
I am much more interested in the
people of Cassiar than politics,
but whenever there's an election I

_ vote for the best man.

I thank you for considering my.

*, application.

Respectfully yours,
' Gerta Geleinite
PROBLEMS ANSWERED * BY “GERTAY
meee Never Courted,
Since your face doesn! t seem to
be a problem, try to develop a
smiling personality with a singing

voice. Men just love a cheerful

' woman. _

If you fail to pet a date with
your new personality, buy a box OF
Ayds and an orange jogging suit. Jog
out to the highway every evening,

“if you don't get picked up sprain an
ankle. You may suffer some pain, but
who knows, the person that rescues

you just may be Mr. Right. Good Luck.

Gerta

Dear D. P.,

If one girl was turned on by your -
sexy legs with stand out knees, think
what the other women have missed all
these years.

Be brave, try wearing your bathing

Suit in front of a few friends at

first. If you are still self-conscions,

get some corn plasters, place them
over your dimples, take some liquid
cover make up and spread it over

the surrounding area. This will help

- hide them temporarily.

what people think of us if we
