The. matter of re-condi- tioning the tennis court was discusged and 2 committee composed. of Mr, -A. Hewson and Miss Mary Hipp, were in- structed to: investigate and report at the next meeting. It had been hoped to secure Mr.. Geo. Little for the ev- ening and hear something of his trip to Japan, but as he could not attend Will-Robinsen was asked to give scme extracts from his ancient history of the grizuley bear People of Kitselas. In. eonjunction with. this A. Hewson sang the ancient funeral chant of the Grizzley Bear Chiefs, one., that re- counts the story of how the totem got its. nume.. The chant ‘hed never been recorded ‘niusically: before last -winter when Mr, and Mrs. Hewson spent some hours with Chief “Walter Wright, . thé historinn of the totem, Mrs. Hewson brought her elecutionary skill into play and recorded the phonetic render- ing of the Indian song, while Mr, Hew- son used his musical gifts and gave the inusie a staff notation.
