Young Terrace
Lady Drowned
--Tragic Letter

Deep sorrow was spread over
Terrace and Lakelse on Saturday
when it was known. that Miss
Nellie Toombs had come to an
untimely end by being drowned

in the Skeena river.

Miss Toombs was staying at
the residence of the Rev. and
Mrs. W. J. Parsons, which she
left at about 8.45 on Saturday
night, giving as her reason that
she was going to mail a letter.
As she did. not return, Mr. Par-
sons went upstairs, and found a
ietter written by Miss Toombs to
her sister, Gladys. He looked at
the letter and saw that it indicated
that Miss Toombs contemplated a
drastic step. He at once went
out and followed her to the Can-
yon, but could not find any evi-
dence 6f her. He then ’phoned
Constable Mancor, who went out
with several men, to search, and
traces of her footprints were
found on the side of the river
leading towards the Canyon.
These were followed until within
a bundred yards. of her home,
where a hole in the ice was found
beyond which the footprints were

.| howhere.to be-seen, -: and..it..was:
felt that she had fallen into the
{river at that spot.

Great sympathy is felt for her
relatives, who have: had quite a
series of misfortunes recently.

Although search. parties have
been busy since the melancholy
occurrence no sign of the body
has been seen.

Gone to Rochester

Rev. and Mrs W, J. Parsons
left Terrace on Tuesday night
for Mayo Bros. clinie at Rochester
N.Y., where Mrs, Parsons is to
undergo an operation. Gordon
Parsons went with them but will
stay off at Winnipeg, where he
is to attend school. Mr.and Mrs.
Parsons expect to be away for a
lengthened period.

Second Annual
Banquet With
Boys and Girls

The second annual banquet
given by the C.G.1.T. and the
Trail Rangers (C.S.E.T.) last
Friday evening established a re-
cord worthy the best efforts of
their parents. About thirty boys
and girls and parents and friends
gathered round the festive board
and spent a most enjoyable eve-
ning. There was much food

for both stomach and mind, while| .

the decorations were very pleas-
ing to the eye. Everyone was
in a yery receptive mood when
the master of ceremonies sound-
ed the call to refreshments.

The Canadian Girls in Train-
ing and the Trai] Rangers asso-
ciated with the Canadian Stan-
dard Efficiency Training were
organized in connection with the
Union church about a year ago
by Rev. J. RB. and Mrs. Hewitt.
Since that time they have met

regularly each week, the former|.

on Saturday afternoons and the
latter on Fridav eyenings, and

they have not only been faithful.

to their work, but have, through
very efficient leadership, made
rapid strides, until today these
clubs..need take. aback. ‘sdat.. to
ho group inthe main organiza-
tions, The New Hazelton clubs
are branches of the’ great move-
ment throughout Canada that is
being carried on by the Religious
Edueational Council which is sup-
ported by alt Protestant churches,

At the present time there is a
membership of fifty thousand
and all are working with the
same program.

These clubs are in reality the
social life of the boys and girls
and the work taken up is of the
highest order. They are develop-
ing character, and the future
men and women of Canada shauld
be of a higher standard than the
present. The club activities do
not in any way interfere with
regular school work, but on the
contrary, work hand in hand
with the schodls, providing that
which the schools lack.

The banquet last Friday night

was provided by. the two clubs,

assisted by a number of parents
and friends ‘who are interested
in the welfare of the children.
It proved to be an event which
will long be remembered by all
who were present. Besides a
most sumptuous repast the club
members’ had an-excellent toat
list, and the speeches were in-
deed creditable,

' Rev, W. E. Galloway, Calgary,

said, very encouraging to him.
