SCOUTING ACTIVITIES —

On January 26th all the Cubs, Beavers and Scouts had a terrific time together as we all gathered at the Rec Cent- re Gym.

This great campfire style celebration was held in hon- our of Harris Andrews who finally, after being in Cubs for 3 years, became of age to join those scouts, and Sam Bondeson who swam up from Beavers to Cubs, .

After Scoutmaster Hans Bierman officially opened the campfire Sue Chambers (also called Rainbow), led the group, with assistance of the Beavers into a sing-song. Followed by Mary Ryan who with the Cubs, acted out a chapter out of the Jungle Book. The Scouts in turn, did their part and put on two skits; one of where a mother had to face the consequences of getting wet! The Scouts do like to play with water you know.

Shawn Penno, John Sethan and Joe Gowan put on a good display when Liam Millar was dining on a piece of steak;

choked, knocked over a candle, ran down stairs, tripped and broke his leg, and cut his head!! Or so they told us anyway. | think it was just a bad case of indigestion.!

A few rewards were handed out that evening: Joe Gowan and Shawn Pearson received the Bronze chain, John Sethan received the Silver Chain, while Shawn Penno now has the Golden Chain— so no more for you Shawn Penno!

New Scout invested in February is Harris Andrews and we also had the honour to invest a new Scout Counc- ilor— Vince Jarvis.

To date we have 10 Scouts , 2 leaders and 1 leader in training.

The Cubs in turn, had an active month when they took a Saturday afternoon and went tobogganing down the Firebreak. A great time was enjoyed by all.

The Cassiar Cub Pack seems to be growing all the time. At present there are 13 boys and 6 more were invested. They are from left to right: Patrick Ryan, Gary Friend, Stephan Bilodeau, Trun Lekhi, Ricky Bilod- eau and Harbinder Mangat.

They had a party with cupcakes and juices being the highlight of the evening. After welcoming these new chaps, they said farewell to Harris Andrews.

Badges were awarded for collections: .

Ricky Bilodeau who collects animal cards.

Stefan Bilodeau for buttons and badges collected.

David Lamphear displayed his hockey cards, while

Stephen Ryan and brother Patrick showed off their

stamp and rock collections. !

GIRL GUIDES |

by Liz Maguire

The “highlight of our January meetings were the girls working on their Keep Fit Badge. Mrs. Irene Mulrooney had contributed much of her time in explaining the requirements of this badge. After then testing each girl in the school gym, Mrs. Mulrooney had to talk with them individually. | will have a note of all the girls who passed this badge in the next issue.

We were very happy to have two girls fly up from

Brownies to join us - Danielle Benner and Jennifer Becket one to each Patrol - the Orioles and the Canaries.

Chery! Maguire was Guide of the Month for December and Melinda Olsen earned the title in January. Congratu- lations to both girls! Ellen Artico was presented with the Core of the Adventure Challenge after completing one section from each of the four Pathways of this Challenge.

Sunday, February 20 will have been spent with the Brownies celebrating Thinking Day (22nd). We have been busy making preparations for this occasion and will have more details in the next issue. Mrs. Bilodeau has been teaching us more new songs with this in mind, and in fact, one evening we sang ‘Frere Jacques’ in‘at least seven diff- erent languages which went down well with the girls.

| anticipate a few more badges being earned soon as final arrangements are made for those interested in the Skiing, Skating, Snowshoeing, and Hostess Badges.

My thanks to Irene Mulrooney for giving us her time and effort as she did, and also to Mary Elhorn who was taking care of the arrangements for the Outdoor and Winter Badges.

Bont CONCERT

The Cassiar Concert Society will be holding an Annual General meeting on March 3rd at 7:30 p.m. in the Cassiar Theatre. This meeting is very important as it will indicate the amount of spport which the Concert Society can ex- pect for the next season.

If the last two annual general meetings are any indi- cation, than the support for the Society is practically non- existant. This poses the very serious question of whether or not the Society should continue to operate or whether it should fold altogether. :

The Society has been in existence in Cassiar for five years and several members of the present Executive have served as executive members for the whole five years, This was not always from choice, but because it was diff- icult to find people willing to participate as executive members and these people felt that the concerts were an asset in Our community; providing cultural entertainment

‘not often found in Northern towns.

However, there comes a time when one wonders if the lack of support is an indication that this type of entertainment is not wanted in Cassiar.

It has not always been easy to offer the concert seas- ons tickets at such reasonable rates. The executive has al- ways tried to keep costs as low as possible. This has

Fitness on the Move

Looking good and feeling good is on everybody’s_ mind these days. Everywhere you look people are getting into shape. More than ever before, people are realizing that having a fit and healthy body is something every- one can achieve and that the exercise and fitness programs necessary for this can be challenging and fun. Physical fitness means different things to different people; there are almost as many definitions as there are people invol- ved in exercise. For some people being in shape increases physical and emotional well being; for others its a form

of preventive medicine making them more resistant to sickness and stress. For still others it means a difference

in the size they wear. One good definition of physical fit- ness is — the ability to carry out daily tasks with vigor and alertness, without undue fatigue and with ample energy to enjoy leisure-time pursuits and to meet unfore- seen emergencies.

THE SHAPE—UP PROGRAM The classes consist of 45 minutes of exercise to music providing a total body workout to promote cardiovascular endurance, flexibility and muscle strength. They begin with a 7 minute stretch warm-up followed by

12 to 15 minutes of light, medium and peak cardio-

vascular work. Some outside jogging will be included as soon as weather permits. To be effective this aerobic exercise must be performed at least three times a week with the heart rate at the proper level. Ask for the infor- mation sheet on Heart Monitoring and learn how to check your pulse rate during exercise. We always stop during the aerobic phase of the class to check pulse. This is followed by a series of floor exercises and ends with a cool-down to return your pulse to normal.

SOCIETY

meant that a great deal of time and effort has been spent to raise money not only to buy the piano and build a stage (two musts if the concerts were to be held), but also to subsidize the price of tickets for the subsidies. The Society had hoped to be able to put theatre lighting and dressing rooms in the Theatre. However, each year the cost of subsidising the concerts has increased and most of the money raised has gone towards these subsidies.

The present Executive feels that new input must be found. Obviously everyone's taste differs and fresh minds will have fresh ideas - both on the types of concerts to bring in, and different ways to raise money to subsidize the concerts.

If you are interested in seeing the Concert Society continue, then you are urged to come to the meeting on March 3rd. Several Executive positions will be open. It is important that the positions be filled as soon as possible so that the Executive can get on with selecting next seas- ons concerts.

Also willing people are needed to help in the organiz- ing of fund raising ventures.

On a lighter note, the ‘Prelude to Spring Dinner” will still be held in April. This was a tremendous success last year and we hope it will be again this year.

Getting into shape can

CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT : Shorts and a T-shirt are the preferred outfit for most people, but sweat Suits or leotards are popular too. Wear whatever you feel comfortable in but jeans or regu- lar street clothes are too restrictive to exercise properly in. Good jogging shoes are essential for proper support during running and jumping. The wrong shoes can be responsible for injury to shins, ankles, knees, hips, or back which will discourage you just when you are starting to feel good about exercise. Bring a mat or piece of car- pet for floor exercises to protect your tailbone from the hard floor. A sweat towel is handy too.

EXERCISE PRECAUTIONS

It is very important to start out any exercise program slowly and learn to pace yourself. It will take three to six months ‘to get into shape” and you can easily injure yourself by overdoing it. Don’t try to keep up with others in the class, slow down when ever you need to. The workout is fun and challenging and can be adapted to suit beginners as well as those who are already fit and want to stay that way.
