1989 iB URES ea six ater. . ist roads to the province of B.C. has THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1989 THE NORTHERN TRIBUNE PAGE SEVEN MPH.LA: Broadcast By ART SMITH Good evening Well friends, we are away to a good start with the Monkman Pass Grain Pian. Leonard Konshak of Lake Sas- katoon, Was the firat to offer one acre of wheat. Good work Leonard Here s the lst of those who bi co-operated this week: Wembley d triet S. B. Allsop, Wm. Rigby, Art Smith, Frank Boyd, Ted Lewis, V. Se- bastiah. Albert Smith, Fred Daulphin, F, Watson, Geo, Cranston and Cooper Bros.; W.'R. McLevin, Dimsdale. With a normal yteld this season of 25 bushels per acre, every 40 acres of wheat will mean a carload of 1,000 bushels, Which shipping point will be the first to have a carload? Let us hear from Clairmont. I believe. this town is one of the largest wheat points in the north. Hello Mr. Ben Miller of Dawson Creek, how is the grain plan coming along up there? Newspaper reports state that the Dominion Government grant for tour- been increased by two million dollars, which brings the total sum for tourists grants up to 3,500,000 for this year, The provincial government puts up dollar for dollar, By this system the total amount of money available for the erection of tourists roads and the maintenance of highways and bridges is 7,000,000, Very little of this money, if any, will be spent in the north, as we have no tourist roads. Of course, there are other grants for the mining and market roads. Alberta's situation is similar. The creating of a park in the Monkman Pass would no doubt go a long way In adjusting this very unfair tourist situ- ation. The tourist Industry is estim- ated to have an annual value to the Dominion of 250,000.00, yet the Northern people continue to pay their share of the tax burden and have no opportunity whatever to share in the profit of this great industry, Nor have we any roads to get out of the coun- try. It is still classed as a sporting adventure to take your own car out of the district. on to roads which are highways so that you might at least be considered as a tourist. Let us all unite and work for a Monkman National Park. And in the meantime write in to the secretary telling him you will plant an acre of wheat. The annual meeting will be held at Beaverlodge, on Thursday, Apr. 20th, at 2 p.m. Each mail we receive letters from many who are asking for work. Men are not being hired at present as it will be the duty of the incoming exe- cutive to make arrangements for next year's work. WHAT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DIVIDE? As we cross the half mile bridge and approach the station at Prince George, we notice a cairn which was erected to the memory of Sir Alexander, Mc- Kenzie. We may feel that there has been hardships in our undertaking, but when we realize McKenzie went by this spot on the Fraser nearly 150 years ago, through what was then a trackless wilderness, we feel much en- couraged and are inspired to go on by the handicaps that he overcame. Prince George, many years ago, was known as Fort George, then Hudson's Bay Trading Post. There were three towns in this little valley, South Fort George, Central Fort George and Prince George which eventually won out. The construction of the railways made this new town boom. Crews were working east and west of the town and the P.G.E. was being con- structed south. Saw mills were being operated in many directions. There certainly have been a great hum with the activity and the huge pay-roll every week was quickly put into cir- culation. Prince George well remem- bers what the development meant to them in those days and everyone is a real booster for the Monkman Pass road. When our road is completed you will all enjoy a visit to the town of Prince George. The Vancouver Junior Board of Trade will visit the Caribou the last week in June. The trip will coincide with the 18th anniversary celebration of the discovery of gold in the area. We expect some of the party to ar- ange to extend their trip through the Pass to join a party from here in a celebration at Monkman Lake in July. Wouldn't you Ike to meet our friends from over on the Pacific at the Divide. Plan your holidays at this time. a CLAIRMONT NEWS Clairmont School Dramatic Club CLAIRMONT, April 8 The presen- tation of three dramas in Clairmont hall on April 6. Miss Dorothy Shaw, B.A. prolocutor; Miss L. Johnson, musie and effects; Mrs.-J. W. Callister was accompanist. The following was the program. O Canada. Song, Harebells by Junior Girls. The first play presented by mem- bers of Grade VII assisted by three promising young actors from Junior Mary, farmer's wite Vera Toowes Warren, the farmer Bill Semak Scene: Outside door of farm house. Next on program was a dramatized song and chorus, entilied A Bachelor Jay, with Gwen Miles ay the bachelor way, ana caurus of six high school wins, Senlor Play: Two Crooks and a Lady A play dealing with the steal- ing of jewels.

Bi Semak Policeman) ..00000/00/2 peter Semak ADDRESS BY MISS SHAW Before supper is served 1 would like to add a word of explanation concern- ing this concert. Possibly some of the parents and others in the audience might be interested in knowing just why Dramatics is a subject of the school curriculum. Since the intro- duction of the new course of studies, school students are required to study a number of traditional subjects, for example, the three R's , Health, Edu- cation and Science, which are of defi- nite value to them. In addition they have the opportunity to select certain subjects, which are known as electives or options. Dramatics is one of these options, and such courses are intended to help discover Interests, aptitudes and obilities of individual pupils. The purpose is to train for leisure time, hobbies and vocations. It is very probable that one will say; all ver; well, but of what value is Dramatics I know that Mary and John will never embark on a dramatic caree The value of Dramatics lies not alone in the pleasure it gives to the audience, such an objective must be apparent in the amaturish .entertain- ment you have witnessed tonight. Dramatics has an educative value to the actors. Few people today doubt but what it is profitable to spend a part of the school course of learning the difference between a good play and bad one, just as important pos- sibly-as learning the difference a good book and a poor one, since dramatics is an important part of literature. Dramatics also tends to develop self- expression. It demands patience, sin- cerity and hard work. It permits a wide scope for talent, combining as it does many activities, including acting, stage managing, light diffusion, scene painting, staging and scenic effects, costuming, directing and general make up, ete. It resembles athletics in that it pro- vides an opportunity for co-operation. One learns in a play the idea of team-work. A play does not depend upon one person, but upon every one concerned, Just before concluding, I would like to bring to your attention the fact that both plays were directed by the senior students. I said before that dramatics offers opportunities for the development of many talents and cap- abilities, as among our Dramatic Club members are actors, directors, costume makers, electricians, carpenters, and even those who are splendid handlers of the calsomine brush in producing scene effects. I don't know where one would find a group of young people more willing to assume responsibility, and do their share of the work of any undertaking, than among the students of attending the Clairmont schools, and in conclusion, I would like to thank you very heartily on behalf of Miss Johnson and myself, and the pupils for your support this evening, and all who contributed in any way towards the evening's entertainment, and now when the coffee is being pre- pared, the policeman and the detective of our play, will take up a silver col- lection, which was generously respond- ed to. jod Save the King. LADIES AID MEETING, APRIL 20 The Ladies Aid of Clairmont United Church will meet on Thurs- day, April 20, at the home of Mrs. ago. Rudy Croken, at 3 pm. Everybody invited to attend. On the afternoon of March 20 the WMS, of Clairmont United Church met at the home of Mrs. Bergin to bid farewell to Mrs. Patterson, who with her family left to make her home at Fort St. John. ENGLISH MANUSCRIPT OF 1527 TELLS TRUE FACTS ABOUT HOCKEY AND EARLY ORIGIN Hockey, played on grass, with a ball instead of a puck, was invented in England about 60 years ago. sava the Stratford Beacon-Herald, and ice hockey, although now regarded as the supreme winter game in Canada, owes its origin to the fact that when some young men came from England as members of a governor-general's staff, they played hockey on the frozen rivers and ponds for exercive. The fact Is, however, that ground hockey in the Old Country, in one form or another, is a very old game. A manuscript of 1527 refers to the horlinge huriing) of the ttle ball with hockle sticks or staves. This. was perhaps not very different from Room, entitied A Quiet EWvening At Home. a one act comedy. The scene is laid in a bachelor s apartment, call ed Uncle Dick, who has planned to spend a quiet evening 2t home, but two unwelcome visitors have arrived. He tries to get rid of them with the aid of two children, and brings down thereby much troubie on his head. The play was copyrighted in 1906, before women were granted the right to vote (we hope you will pardon the frequent reference to women's rights, men and women being absolutely equal in the eyes of the law, and the forboding of a time when women will have proved her strength and capability in every department of life), of course we al realize that golden age has come. The characters were as follows: Dick Phelps ......-..Wallace Conrad 12 David Thompson. Hulda (a maid)../:....Jean Shechan Mrs. Agustas Pratt. : Vivian Redwood -.+Donaid Thompson 5 Joan Macdonald feeetes+y Allan Redwood The next presentation was a trio by Junior Boys, The Traction Engine.

Bandy (bent) referred to the end of the stick, as It) sometimes refers to the human extre- mities today. And bandying words. is sending the conversational ball (or puck) back and forth just an old hoekey custom. FAVOR CANADIAN FLEECE FOR ALL GOVT.
