HOWLS

FROM

The big news this month in the Mine is the comple­tion and successful operation of the new tramline. The tramline has been operating on day shift only for the past week using a temporary feeding bin at the top and a temporary discharge conveyor at the bottom. By the second week in September, the permanent conveyor assembly will be completed in the mine and the new primary concen­tration plant by the mill will be ready to go.

Arrow Transfer has been assembling the new P § H 1900 Shovel on the peak for the past several weeks. This shovel should be in operation by mid-September also.The new 1900 will displace the P § H 1400 Shovel now being utilized on peak waste. The 1400 shovel will be moved down on ore and pit waste.

As most residents of the townsite are aware, there have been a few big blasts in recent weeks. The blasts that are most noticable in the townsite are those from the south peak. These blasts can easily be seen from the townsite although they are quite a distance away.

Mine tours are now being scheduled for Wednesday afternoons. If anyone is interested in a tour of the mine, contact Mr. Ed Hanley at the Personnel Office.

2. 'For each cup of juice add 1/4 cup sugar (the sugar should be warmed in the oven before­hand) Boil mixture until it forms 1 large drop or sheet on the spoon 8-30 minutes.

HIGH BUSH CRANBERRYMOOSEBERRY SQUASHBERRY

The bushes are 1-4 feet high & grow in moist, shaded woods & thickets. The leaves are olive- green & the flowers are white.

The berries when ripe, are light red with a large stone in­side; they are best made into juice or jelly.

CRANBERRY JUICE6 cups cranberries1 teaspoon lemon juice

Simmer cranberries in enough water to cover, until the skins pop open. Stain juice; stir in lemon juice, & sweeten to taste.

ROSE HIP PUREE1 lb rose hips (or half rose hips & half low bush cranberries or half cooking apples, cut up).3 cups water.

1. Cut open rose hips, and sim­mer in waiter for about 30 mini or until soft the low-bush cranberries, if used, can be added the last 15 minutes.

ROSE HIPSThe wild rose grows on prick­

ly bushes 2 to 5 feet high. The flowers are a delicate pink, some times a deep, dark rose.

3 or 4 rose hips contain as much Vitamin C as one orange. They'll keep well in the freezer or dried or they can be eaten right off the bushes all during the winter.

FRESH ROSE HIPSRemove seeds and fluff from

center of rose hips: cut in hal­ves & combine with an assortment of fresh fruits: sliced bananas, grapes, strawberries and oranges will give you a good basis for a compote. Squeeze some orange juice over the fruit to moisten & stir in a little honey if the fruit isn't sweet enough.

After 40 years of dedicated work in Central Patricia Gold Mines, Cassiar Asbestos Corp. and Vancouver Office, Jimmy Ward has earned a well deserved retirement.

Jim started in Central Patricia as Office Manager and Accountant in the late 1930's. After Central Patricia closed down he was moved to Cassiar as the first Office Manager in one of the first log buildings in the old campsite. When the Company started an office in Vancouver and took over the East Indies Warf, Mr. Ward was transferred to Vancouver as' Office Manager where he has remained up to this date.

Before he retires, Mr. & Mrs. Ward were asked if they would like to take a trip around the Company properties to take a look once again of the various under­takings that he has been doing the purchasing of goods for and the selling of fibre for a good many years.

Jimmy & Olive Ward left Vancouver on the boat up to Skagway where they boarded the White Pass train which took them to Whitehorse, the home of Territorial Supply and the Transport Division of Cassiar, They toured Dawson City and Clinton Creek for a couple of days, re­turned to Whitehorse and came to visit Cassiar Asbestos. After 2 short days here they flew back to Vancouver.

Mr. & Mrs. Ward enjoyed the trip apd were in real good health. There were a few of us in Cassiar that remembered the Wards very well from years gone by. We wish them many years of a full retirement which is so

. well deserved after 40 years with one Company.

A sweetheart is the someone You could write a book about.The one you love to be with And you hate to be without.A sweetheart understands your moods And laughs at things you say,Or sees you when you're at your worst But loves you anyway.A sweetheart is the someone That you're always thinking of And the very special reason Why you know that you're in love.

Woman was created from the rib of man, not from his head to be above him nor his feet to be walked upon, but from his side to be equal, near his arm to be protected and close to his Heart to be loved

Dale S. Hadley

MESSAGE TO THOSE PAENTS WITH GIRLS INTERESTED IN PLAYING ORGANIZED WCKEY THIS WINTER!

It is compulsory for every hockey player, including girls to all wear the same protective hockey equipment which will include hockey skates. This was decided due to the number playing hockey last yea*, the expected in­crease this winter and the faet that the girls have improved considerably.

This message is coming out early so that arrangements can be made to acquire the necessary equipment in plenty of time. The management of the dry-goods store has ordered some hockey equipment to be available for sale, so you can check there first before ordering from the catalogue.

H O M E O W N E R S TAX SX have received several inquiries from people in

our Atlin Constituency who are concerned about property tax credits.

These inquiries have raised a variety of issues, and therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to explain how the tax credit program will operate in 1975.

First, all eligible home owners will receive the basic $200. home owner grant, as in 1974. Then they will receive a minimum of $30. and up to a maximum of $80. on%the school tax removal grant. Home owners aged 65 and over will receive a further $50. addition to the home owner grant after the school tax removal portion has been calculated.

Basically, this means the minimum grant to home owners under 65 will be $230. (maximum $280.) and the minimum grant to those 65 and over will be $280. (maxi­mum $330.)

The school tax removal portion of your tax credit is determined by taking 40 percent of the difference between $200. (the basic home owner grant) , and the gross school taxes, but this grant has a maximum of $80. in 1975. Last year, the maximum was $40.

Some senior citizen home owners will be receiving a property tax refund of between $1. and $20. this year, because legislative amendments have been placed before the House to ensure that senior citizens receive the full value of the $50. addition to the home owner grant.

I recognize that inflation has resulted in larger property tax increases this year than was the case in 1974. However, the provincial government cannot control municipal mill rate increases. Nevertheless, we have made an extra $20 million available to municipal govern­ments this year as their share of increased revenues from the export of natural gas. I hope they use portions of this first-time revenue sharing money to reduce property taxes.

Our school tax removal program is in the second year of five-year program. Additionally, Education Minister Eileen Dailly has made supplementary grants available to school districts in 1975. However, our government has a responsibility to live within its bud­get while meeting its commitments to finance other, much needed programs.

I trust this information will be useful and infor­mative to you.

FOR CASSIAR HOME OWNERS receiving a tax form from the government for taxes on their home, you can process these forms by taking them to the accounting office in Cassiar.

There is a charge of $1.00 only if the form is processed immediately.

The tax charges are covered by the homeownersgran t.

A revision of the Student Assistance Program to provide more funds for post-secondary students with the greatest need was announced today by the Hon. Eileen Dailly, Minister of Education.

Under the new program, students with a demonstra­ted need will receive up to $3300. compared to $2900. last year, and $1800. the year before.

The new program is based on the student's assessed need, which will be met by a combination of non-repay­able provincial grant funds up to a maximum of $1500. -and a Canada student loan of up to $1800.

The Minister stated that the aim of this revised program is to give the most assistance to those with the greatest need. She further said that in order to provide a larger grant to those who require the greatest help, the former practice of providing the first $200. as a non-repayable grant is being discontinued and the money previously used for this purpose will be distri­buted for allocation on a need basis.

The Minister said this year in B.C. students incurred smaller loan indebtedness than those in all other provinces.

Mrs. Dailly said the continued revision of the student aid program is in line with the government's policy of seeking to ensure that no student is deprived of a higher education because of financial barriers.

Mrs. Dailly said that in 1974-75, a total of 14,600 grants were made, compared with 8,600 the pre­vious year. Total value of the 1974-75 grants was $10 million, compared with $2.3 million the previous year.

Full-time undergraduate students enrolled in public post-secondary institutions in British Columbia can participate in the program. A separate assistance pro­gram is also available to part-time students.. I trust that this information will be useful and informative to you.

For the past 8 years the Cassiar Lions Club have been gathering empty beer bottles from the townsite and bunkhouses. The money raised from this project goes to finance many of the youth activities around the community of Cassiar. At present the Lions are building the improvements on the swimming pool and to finance this project they need your help and co-operation.

Periodically the Lions miss a Saturday but 99% of the time there are 2 of the Lions members allotted each Saturday to pick up your beer bottles next to the garbage on Saturning morning.

Recent reports of people selling or trying to sell antlers and other big game trophies in the Yukon have prompted the Game Branch to remind residents it is illegal to sell trophies or any part of a big game animal.

A branch spokesman added it is also illegal to sell birds or birds' eggs. Apparently there is a developing black market in the sale of various game species in North America. In some cases a Cyr Falcon could sell for up to $10,000 and high prices are being paid for trophy sheep and other big game.

Even rare birds' eggs are selling at high prices in certain quarters of the continentt he said.

Anybody having knowledge of the illegal sales is asked to contact the nearest Game Branch office or the RCMP.

Game Warden: "Say, you are hunting with last year'slicence."

Hunter: "Thats all right. I'm only shooting at theone's I missed last year."

"COHO SALMON EXPERIMENTS IN LAKE NIPIGON"The "Coho" not being a native of the. Lake, Nipigon

waters has experienced difficulty iii surviving. The female when going up the feeder streams, has been losing her roe on the rocky bottoms, and when she got far enough upstream in the small pools and inlets, had great difficulty getting back into the mainstream over the sand bars, etc. In fact, as high as 90% were dying in the upper reaches of the tributaries, which caused a pol- luation and odor problem.

The Fish and Wildlife Division decided to crossbred the "Coho" with the native "Walleye" for two reasons:(1) the "Walleye" had the strength and knowledge to get through the tributaries and (2) was not prone to lose the roe while going upstream. This new species was named "Cowal". However, in crossbreeding, the fight that the "Coho" was noted for was lost to the more sluggish ten­dencies of the "Walleye".

To combat this sluggishness, the experiment went further. They bred the "Cowall" with the greatest fresh­water fighter in North America, the "Muskie". This created a hybrid, double crossbreed and introduced a Top Canadian Game Fish. They named the hybrid the "Co-Wal-Ski" and they now have to teach the dumb son-of- a-bitch to swim.

Sincerely yours,G.R. Kerr, Director.
