But most local groups won’t be going co-ed anytime soon, says ‘local scouling spokesman Per Halvorsen. Scouting has been an malc-only organization since its inception in 1902. In recent years, however, the question of whelher or not to admit girls bas become the focus of much debate, Halvorsen says some girls now would rather join, scouts because thal organization is more physi- cally active, and docs more camp- ing and other challenging ac- tivilies. He says co-ed troops have been operating on a trial basis for the pas four or five years. The 1st Terrace Scouts already have two female scouts. “There’s already a femaic leader there anyway, “so that makes it a bit casicr,’ ? Halvorsen says. And the older groups — venturers and rovers -—-- have been co-ed for many years. Some of the men who are Icad- ers in other groups aren't prepared for change, he said. “Some of the guys just aren’t receptive to change and want to maintain the status quo,’’ he said. But Halvorsen said the groups that have gone co-ed have made the transition smoothly. Any changes of other groups to co-ed will have to be with the agreement of the boys, the parents, the leaders, and the sponsors, he added. As a result, some groups will likely remain boys-ouly, ; One group in Thornhill already rejected the idea because their sponsor — the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints —_ was agalnst it, *T-don’t think there’s going to be a huge flood of girls going into scouting,”’ Halvorsen said. With some groups going co-ed and some choosing to. remain male-only, new scouts will have an opportunity to choose the style of group that fits their preference. Dependants Anonymous meets. No lifting necessary. For more’ History comes alive with new booklet Just in time for the perfect Christmas stocking stuffer is a new publication from the Ter- race Regional Muscum Society. From Riverboats to | Rail- ways tells the story of now- abandoned Bateman’s Land- ing, just west of the Zymacord River on the Skeena River. The story covers the years 1905 to 1948 from the memoirs of Emma Bateman. Lindstrom. Her family pre- empted land and setiled there in 1905. The memoirs were edited by long time museum society ad- vocate Mamic Kerby, Their publication has been greatly boosted by photog- raphs taken by Dr. W,P. Johns, a physician for the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad who lived at the landing from 1908 CONCERT ‘to 1910. Kerby says the publication tells’ an important but un- known story of this arca’s past. “T had no idea a hospital was there,’’ said Kerby. ‘“‘Even growing up here I didn’t know anything about the riverboats until I became a grand- mrothee.” Emma Bateman Lindstrom ‘There were only two cabins between Port Es- sington and where Terrace is now.”? wrote her memoirs in 1969 and begins with the journey up the Skeena in July 1905. “At this time there were no towns or. settlements; only the ° odd native village, as far up the Skeena River as Kitselas Canyon, There were only two cabins between Port Essington and where Terrace is now,’’ she wrote. An added benefit to the pub- lication is a history of the Remo area, including photog- raphs of the various ferries that operated there. Emma Bateman married Charlie Lindstrom who was the last operator of ihe last ferry which went out of ser- vice in 1948. The photographic collection of Dr. W.P. Johns appeared at the museum this summer courtesy of his son. They came with a trunk full of furs the doctor had trapped while living al the landing. Copies of the publication are available at Misty River Books. The cost is $4. Thain to play at home Guess who's coming to town?
