big cats screaming outside quite close
to-the cabin, and in the morning

found a valuable cattle dog gone.

TED MARTIN tells how a man,
had cut his hand rather badly while
working in the woods at Cariboo En-
terprise Mills. The blood had run

there. Next morning the axe handle.
yas licked clean and around in the
| snow were numerous cougar tracks:

THE Kamloops “Outlaws” hockey
team visited Lae La Hache over the
weekend and played the local senior
team Saturday night and Sunday al-
ternoon. From the visitors point of
view, it was an unsuccessful venture.
as they lost the first game 4-2 and
wound up on the short end of a 5-4
score on Sunday. Saturday’s game
was a clean well-played contest, with
some good hockey, but a steady
stream of players to the penalty box
slowed up Sunday’s game, which was
climaxed by a fight. ,

PRIOR to the senior game on Sun-
day, the local PeeWees took a beat-
ing from the Mission PeeWees.

ry quarters and in the spring a
larger building will go up. It is a
general store and is called the

WATER SUPPLY to the three-
room school here remains in a primi-
tive state. Residents are of the opin-
ion that a water system should be
installed. There are well over a hun-
dred pupils and water is still being
carried in open pails. Hard work for
the janitor and far from sanitary.

WILL REVIEW IN JUNE

Fees For Dormitory
Raised Two Dollars

Derision of trustees to raise the
Jormitory fees from $22 per month
o $24 for attending students, was
ipproved recently by representatives,
with the proviso that costs be review-
ed in June and that if possible, the
tees be reduced to the $22 figure fov
the September term.

Board chairman Hilary Place told
that the inerease in
ary to handle up to an
estimated $0 students anticipated
next fall, necessitated the raise. He
said the year before the fee had been
opped from $25 to $22 when it was
found that the higher figure had put
the revenue ahead of expenditure.
This year the board intends to use
the full $14 a month government
grant for each student, as well as the
$24 fee to> balance the financial
structure. It cost $22,748 to operate
the dorm last year and estimated
costs for the calendar year 1955 is
set at $29,743.

Evening ‘Open House’
Brings Father Back
To Schoolroom

Opportunity to give fathers a
chance to talk over “Johnny's” prob-
lem with his school teacher was be-
hind the idea of having an open
house for parents at the local ele-
mentary school Monday. Teache
expressed themselves as happy with
the results. About 70 fathers and
mother attended the hour and a half
session. Usually these ‘open house’
periods aré held in the afternoon,
wih the result that fathers are unable
to attend.

Principal Ron Friesen states that
it is the intention of holding two. of
\hese evening parents’ nights uext
year following issuance of the stu-
dents’ first and second report cards.

To Hold Joint
Meeting On Question
Of Artificial Ice

The executive of both the Curling
Club and the War Memorial Arena.
Society will hold individual meetings
in the near future to draw up an
agenda for a joint general meeting to
discuss the problems of artificial ice
for the centre.

This was decided at a meeting of
the society last Friday that was at-
tended by a delegation from the curl-
ing club.consisting of Boh Kelt and
Fred Graham. The two delegates
asked again for a long-term lease on
their portion of the arena so that the
club could actively consider install-
ing an artificial ice plant and expand-
ing the present facilities.

The feeling of the meeting was
that they would rather see the ques-
lion of artificial ice’ for the entire
arena threshed out.

Reports on arena activity show the
centre is catering to more and more
children. There are midget teams,
peewees and below peewees for the
younger children.
