Suddenly there wasn’t.
time to write a farewell
letter from Nass camp.
With sudden sunshine
and favorable weather
conditions, it seemed a
worthwhile plan to head
for Prince Rupert a day
earlier than had been
planned.

This morning we were
awakened early by the
pecking of hirds
overhead. Some
hammering on the ceiling
finally sent them away,
but one just came back
‘or another bite or two of
the meat off the bone he
had. Vic threw the bone
onto the wharf and now
the bone has already
been packed onto
somebody else’s boat.

Some young fellow shot
one of these young birds
this morning - perhaps
because it happened to be
alive. When Vic went
over and asked him if he
had just shot the bird the
response was of course
~“What-me?”. Since the
fellow was the only
person around I gather he
wouldn't have tuo much
to say. So that was the
end of one young raven’s
life. Such incidents make
you wonder if there could
ever be peace in this
world - this wanting to
kill for the sake of killing
seems to bea disease that
affects too many of the
inhabitants.

We would have heen en
route to Masset earlier
but son-in-law Ed Woode
ig going to Sail%ver with
us, and we are waiting for
him to arrive over on the
earliest plane he was able
to get. This morning we
had our first experience
at using the radio
telephone, so the B.C.
Canuck made its debut on
the air. The reception
wasn’t the best for us and
caused concern, but as
we found out later, the
‘‘squelch’’ button had
been turned up instead of
the ‘volume’. This type
of experience seems to be
common to initial uses.

I had not wanted to
travel originally on July
first because of the
traffic. Such thoughts
were well justified during
the drive down from the
Camp. Never have we

passed so many vehicles .

of all kinds and
description on that road.
Many may have been
heading for Stewart. But
the drive from Terrace to
Prince Rupert was more
enjoyable even though
there is some dust and
some rough gravelled
sections to be
' encountered along the
way.
At
papers and books at
Gilbertson’s residence,
then paid a visit to the
LaBelle residence.
Fortunately Gene and
Frances. were at home,
and as it happened we
spent a few hours there,
coming inon @ delicious
turkey dinner. Diane and
Bob Thompson arrived
back ‘from a Kalum
fishing trip, (sans fish),
so-we were also able to
enjoy their company

words with Vic regarding |

Terrace we left

some recent enquiries
that had been made by
the Conservation
Department. Plans are
under way to put signs
along the road to the Nass

in strategic spots in the

area that has been set
aside for the protection of
the mountain goat.
Construction of trails up
certain mountains is also
contemplated. How nice
it will be when any
shooting is done by
cameras. It is
unfortunate that there
was such a depletion of
the herds before anything
was done about
protecting these
vulnerable animals.

During a June trip up
Mount Hoadley, Tracy
Skead counted 19 goat,
and only one kid. There
certainly isn’t any
population explosion as
far as goats are
concerned. Tracy also
located an excellent spot
for a cabin where people
will be able to view these
animals. This should fit
in well with the present
plans that the
Conservation
Department i8
developing. At the time
Tracy made the trip he
noted what he figured
would be four or five feet
of snow over on what we
have called the ‘‘Cabin
Mountain.” He and Vic
constructed a cabin there
a few years back.
Usually the snow hs gone
fromm there by the middle
af June. ~

The Bud Browns should
be settled in their new
home on Straume this
week. Iris left Nass
Camp with Beryl and
Barry Thursday
morning, with a full load
in the pick-up. Bud was
busy taking down the
balance of the appliances
the next evening.

Marj Skead left with
Randy and Kelvin on
Friday morning on her
way to Vancouver, where
-Keilvin has a medical
appointment.

Summer
safety

Summer is that lazy, carefree
lime of year that often lulls
families into forgetting
important safety precautions.

Frequently, warm weather
hazards disguise themselves as
fun and games, but actually
lead to carelessness and
accidental i injury.

-The Council on Family Health
in ‘Canada, a — non-profit
organization sponsored by the
drug industry to promote home
safety and family liealth, points

-.qul some of the masks these

hazards can wear:
- The inviting backyard

‘swimming pool, a delight to

family and friends,

Make a set of safety rules for
use af the pool and see that
every family member and guest

observes it. No one should swim *

in the pool alone. . Children
. should us¢ the pool only when an
adult is in attendance. The pool
should be adequately fenced
-and safely locked to keep out
venturesome smail children
: when not ‘in-use. oo

termed ‘“‘strike”. He is
hearing regularly from
the wife and daughter
who are at present in
Hawaii. Luana has been
doing lots of swimming
and her mother has to
resort to bribery ‘in order
to get her out of the
water, The matching
mother and daughter
wardrobes have been
causing a lot of eyes to
turn.

The Schultz and
McLaren families left
Friday on vacations. All
will be hoping such nice
weather will travel with

them.

Art Mitchell and Hugh
Swanson journeyed up to
fix the school deors on
Friday. With no car and
the phone out of order at
the Camp for some two
weeks, I had not been
able to let them know the
door had been
temporarily repaired by
Lloyd Lewellyn! 1 was
sorry to see Art having
difficulty in getting
around, and of course
have suggested he make
a visit to a chiropractor
during his holidays. (Not
being in the medical
profession, I won't lose
my: license through
having done so!)

Before closing, I would
like to mention that all

the pupils at Nass River -

Elementary wrote letters

‘to Mr. Chun, Hong-Min,

Korea, on the last day of

attempting to find ‘‘Pen

pupils. Correspondents
of every age difference
are requested, so anyone
who is. wanting
something to do during
the holidays could start
writing. The letter from
Mr. Chun was published
in the Prince Rupert
paper on June 23rd.
