For the first two years, meetings were held in the old Oddfellows hall on Lakelse. In 1960 the Elks and Royal Purple moved into newly acquired premises in what is now the Carpenters hall. ‘Enthusiastic in their support of the purchase, the ladies of ‘the Royal Purple outfitted the kitchen with all the necessities and put in a lot of hours cater- ing in order to raise money, Their first major project in- volved a bridge toll on the old Skeena bridge.

Pointing out the fair is celebrating its 25th anniversary § this year, Thornhill Primary | teacher Nancy Bose said one of [| the highlights of the week-long §f event will be the visit of the Science World team. | Demonstrating scientific prin- | ciples in an entertaining and in- teresting manner, they will be | putting on three performances a day for local students and a ; : final, public performance on : - cS Saturday, April 28. Nancy Bose She said that day will also see a series of competitions in which students will attempt to build the tallest Pop can and Straw towers, construct a one metre bridge using only. two sheets of paper and 12 staples and finda way getting two eggs to survive being dropped from the top of a fire engine ladder, Bose, one of many instructors helping to put the event together, said there will also be a new event this time — a scavenger hunt involving teams of youngsters in the kindergarten-grade 3 and grades 4-6. Competitors will be given 20 minutes to collect specified objects (such as flowers and leaves) or information (the height of a piece of playground equipment). Points will be awarded for each successfully completed task with victory going to the team with the most points. Bose said the idea was enthusiastically received when it was introduced at New Hazelton elementary last year. “They were just buzzing, they really enjoyed themselves,” she recalled. Young scientists also have an Opportunity to show what they have learned by entering either a display or experiment in the fair. There will be six classifications according to age and entrants will be marked on scientific process, demonstrated understanding of the subject, presentation and thoraughness. Displays will also be judged on originality. Bose said judging will take place Friday, April 27 with awards presented the following afternoon during an public open house’ inthe Caledania Senior Secondary gymnasium.

MS campaign under way Give a little, win a lot — that's the message being sent out by the Multiple Sclerosis society in launching its third annual camper raffle fund raising drive. And over the past two years, those individual “‘littles’’ have added up to almost $100,000 to be-spent on research and ser- vices programs for people suffering from MS. The raffle is a joint project of the society and the B.C, and Yukon Building and Construction Trades Council. Locally, the fundraiser has been supported since its inception by members of the International Union of Operating Engineers and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, As part of that continuing support, they joined society members last weekend in selling raffle tickets in the Skeena Mall. Purchase of a ticket not only ensures a chance at winn- ing the camper (to be drawn April 26) but also gives the holder a shot at a $1,000 early bird prize to be drawn March 3t, MS is a disease for which there is no known cure, [t attacks the central nervous system and symptoms can include fatigue, numbness, a loss of coordination and speech and vision pro- blems. The society’s mandate is to offer assistance to both victims and their families, to raise money to finance those ser- vices and to promote public awareness. Pointing out many of its own members benefitted from the work of the society, trades council president Len Werden said the organization was ‘'very impressed with the dedicated work of the society's staff and volunteers."" He also urged people to support its efforts. ; ‘Paying tribute to the unions’ contribution, society presi- dent Bill Maurice said it ‘reinforces our belief that strong community participation is the key to successful fundraising.’? This ‘year’s goal, he added, was to raise $120,000.
