This is Marj and Bill Samson's second duration in Cassiar and they arrived here with their children Lynn and Don, the second time around - in July 1966.

Marj started working in August of 1966 in the Mill Lab where she worked until March. She later tzansferred to the Retail Store as a Clerk and then worked her way up to Cashier. Her perserverance paid off and she is now Office Assistant - smiling her way through the day to day paper work and bookkeeping.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR IDEAS

On February 15, 1976 a group of local citizens were asked to volunteer their services

and form a Centennial '71 Committee.

WHAT you may ask is the Centennial '71 Committee - Well, here is a short course in B.C. history.

On Tuesday, July 29, 1871, the Colony of British Columbia entered Confederation, thus becoming the sixth Province of Canada.

This union linked together various peoples to form a nation stretching from sea to sea.

Wé can all look back with pride on a great 109 years since B.C. entered Confederation. The

year 1971 is an important date in the history of our Province.

How thus can we celebrate this historial event?

The Province will make available to the Local Committee, a certain amount of money. This money must be spent on a commemorative Ctntennial project of "Lasting value and significance".

Your Committee feels that the Project, what- ever it may be, should be the choice of the citizens and have agreed that a competition would be the best and fairest way of giving everyone a chance to participate.

Your Committee has an open mind on ideas and there must be hundreds of them floating around Cassiar.

Here are a few guide lines which you should use in submitting ideas:

1. The grant could run about $8,000.90

2. Projects of a lasting nature eligible for approval by the Provincial Centennial '71 Committee are:

a) The acquisition and construction of buildings, parks (other than regional), and other capital works;

b) the acquisition of buildings of historic merit and any furniture or furnishings therein;

c) the restoration of buildings of historic or architectural merit.

d) the writing and publishing of books. e) the composition of musical works;

f) the creation and completion of paintings or sculpture and other works of art;

g) additions and improvements to previous Centennial projects.
