‘Haven't been in camp ail week but nevertheless I hear all * thal goes on or rather moat of it anyway. An interesting bit of news is that there are sixteen natives from this area taking . the ‘new: native teachers training course. This course is the best idea that anyone has come up with for a long time. Well anyway out of the sixteen there are seven from the Nass. They are Jimmy Moore, Mr. and Mrs, Vernon McKay, Oscat Moore, Henry.Moaore from Greenville and’ Vina Percival and Winnie Morvan from, Aiyansh, The first part of their training takes place in the Terrace Area “with the Vocalional School and actual classroom type on the job training. -Does that make any sense. What I’m trying to say is that they each go to different schools like. student teachers and the last part of their course will be spent at U.B.C.

They have been neighbours of ours for all those six years so you can bel thal we will surely miss them... it’s hard to Imagine no-one lo wake me up at a decent hour of the morning, no-one for me lo wake up-in.the middle of their . night .to borrow .a “pound of © butter,-‘no-one to atea) 2n4’s from, what will we do? Maybe though: that. something will come up and they’ll stay - just wishful thinking on my. part. “Another change in camp is the new paper boy?!?
