SADDLE UP " "
By Sandy Spooner

Teaching positions
still need filling
Despite media reports to the
contrary there were still 169
unfilled teaching posts in various
British Columbia school
districts as of July 18, said
Education Minister Eileen Dailly.
Speaking during a visit to
Jericho Hill School in Vancouver,
Mrs. Dailly said figures
prepared by the department's
communication division, responsible
for keeping detailed
statistics on teacher turnover,
show that of the 169 vacancies,
82.5 are for elementary school
teaching positions and 36.8 for
secondary, with the remainder
in the administrative area.
"The Prince George school
district has the most vacancies
41.4 - made up of 18.9 elementary
positions and 22.5 secondary
positions, while the Prince
Rupert-Terrace area had 21.9,
the Kamloops-Cariboo area 16.5
and surprisingly enough, Victoria
has 10.5 vacancies." said
Mrs. Dailly.
The minister said it is
1st Annual QUARTER HORSE SHOW
AQHA, NBCQHA Approved
unfortunate that when we hear
about teachers having difficulty
finding jobs, we usually find
that they are looking for
positions in the Lower Mainland.
Mrs. Dailly said, "School
districts in B.C. will be hiring
2,000 to 2,500 new teachers in
preparation for school opening
in September.
"Traditionally in B.C. the
province has been unable to fill
vacancies with new university
graduates, which means that
school districts have been forced
to recruit outside the
province." she continued.
Mrs. Dailly said one of her
"major concerns is that continued
publicity about teacher
unemployment "might deter
some of our brightest young
people from entering the profession
in the belief that there
will be no jobs for them when
they graduate."
"All of the statistics gathered
by my department show that
this is definitely not the case."

MARKET PRICES PRETTY STABLE
By Heldor Schafer
Sheep seem to be a good
propostion for Leo and Laura
Labelle, Living in the Ahbau
Creek area 20 miles north of
Quesnel.
"I've had sheep for 18 years
now and the price stayed pretty
.well the same. It doesn't
fluctuate as does the price of
cattle," said Mrs. Labelle.
"And through all the years I
have never had a ewe die of
disease.
"I had one last year die of
heart attack, but that's all," she
said.
The Labelles presently have
about 40 ewes, 40 kids and two
Dorset rams.
Most of them are Columbia
crossed with Dorset, although
many years ago the Labelles
started out crossing Columbia
with Cheviot.
Their main revenue in this
sheep venture obviously comes
from the lambs.
Lambs are "custom butchered."
Customers may have them
at any weight they want, but
usually they sell at 40 - 60
pounds bringing about a dollar
"We butcher them right at per pound on the average.

Also, the local Hindu community
and Greeks view lamb as
a delicacy.
And good lamb isn't readily
available anywhere in British
Columbia, said Mrs. Labelle.
Mrs. Labelle figures that
about 300 ewes would be
enough to make a comfortable
living.
But things like that take a
long time to build up.
Hay crops can't be started
overnight, land clearing costs
about $60 an acre if done
commercially.
But the- Labelles are do-ityourselfers
and the wood sold
to the nearby Dunkley sawmill
is presently the major income
for the family.
. One mistake commonly made
by people who view the, sheep
operation simply and with little
fuss is that they jump head
over foot into a large venture
which quickly proven to be too
hard to handle, said Mrs.
Labelle.
"I can name you about five
guys who say 'Oh, you are
making money on sheep' and go
out and get 300 head.
PROBLEMS
"Their problems usually
come at lambing," she said.

Mulch
good for
gardens
Gardeners having problems
with weeds and lack of moisture
in their yards should try a
mulch, horticulture authorities
say.
Mulches-either organic or
inorganic-reduce soil evaporation,
weed competition and soil
temperature fluctuation which
cause the soil to dry out
rapidly.
They also improve the water
holding capacity of the soil and
promote faster development in
garden plants.
Among the many materials
that can be used for mulches
are black plastic sheeting one
half to one millimetre thick as
well as bark chips.
Since materials of this kind
are expensive they are most
suitable for special flower-beds
only.
Organic materials such as
peat moss, leaves, grass clippings,
straw, compost heap
material, wood chips and sawdust
piled up a couple of inches
high are economical and easy to
spread on the soil around
plants.

Sam Gilmore, Pemberton,
has for years sent us around 40
head of good quality steers
about this time of year.
They have always topped the
market as the feed lots like his
steers.
This year his sons have taken
over and we sold their steers
today and they topped the
market.
Unfortunately, the market is
lower than it has been due to a
decline in price of grain fed
cattle caused by a surplus of fat
light steers and heifers.
It is a thing that feeders do
not have to worry about too
much as this surplus of light fat
cattle always hit us at this time
of year.
When these are cleaned up
the price of fat steers strengthens.
There is a big run of cows at
this time of year both on the
prairie and in the Fraser
Valley.
In Alberta, farmers find
raising grain bring more money
than the beef business and in
the Fraser Valley selling surplus
milk is not economic now
that subsidies have been removed.
Subsidies of any kind upsets
an industry when subsidies are
removed.

Lambs have to be kept warm
under any circumstances, she
explained.
The Labelles for one, keep
their new lambs-together with
the ewes inside the barns for
about nine days.
Dried out manure at the
bottom and straw that have
accumulated during winter, combined
with the animals' body
heat warm the barns sufficiently
at even lowest outside
temperatures, said Mrs. Labelle.
In addition, it is a great help
that Columbia ewes are usually
good mothers and there is little
problems having them care for
their lambs.
Once a year the Labelles lift
off the low sheep barns, bulldoze
the accumulated waste
away and the cycle of hay-manure-tiay
can start all over again
for next year's lambing season.
Here too the family shows it's
economy. The cleared-off manure
makes perfect fertilizer and
whatever isn't used up right on
the farm, is sold.
Another source of income is,
of course, the wool.
"Last time we had about 300
pounds of wool selling at 50
cents a pound," said Mrs.
Labelle.
"I usually hire a man to shear
them and he charges one dollar
per head." she said.
Feeding her animals compared
to the cost of cattle
compares favorably she figures.
The rams and ewes eat about
a bale of hay a week each and
even at 30 cents a bale that isn't
too much, she said.
"I also feed my sheep alfalfa
pellets and they get about 100
pounds of oats each in spring
(during lambing)," Mrs. Labelle
explained.
INJECTIONS
Although the Labelle. sheep
never have had any problems
with disease, they never receive
any injections unless an
individual animal is sick.
"I just give my sheep vitamins,"
Mrs. Labelle said.
"But you get a book on sheep
diseases in Canada. They tell :
you to give ten different shots \
right from the start.
"I wonder if it's good for •
them.
"Why do it if they don't need j
it. Somebody has to eat the )
meat," she said.
Mrs. Labelle even looks after \
her sick animals rather than ' :
taking her to a veterinarian if
she can.
To be able to take care of the
little ails of man and beast, she
once enrolled in a night school
course in veterinary "first aid."
However, the best aid. is
prevention, she believes.
Although diseases haven't
caused much concern, predators
do and have to be kept at a
distance.
"The only thing we have

Canadian Cellulose Co. Ltd. decided
to convert, all hydraulic

outstanding performance of
an installation made in 1973.
This first installation was on a

the clock except for brief daily
maintenance checks and weekly

Mrs. Labelle.
"We shoot about ten each
year."
Bears on the other hand
never bother them, although
there is a community garbage
dump close by and it is visited
by grizzly and black bears, she
said.
The Labelles frequently sell
lambs alive.
"They are about the best pets
you can think of," Mrs. Labelle
explained.
Problems only arise after she
sold a lamb and half a year later
the people come and want to
give it back because they have
grown to like it so much they
haven't got the heart to butcher
it, she said.
"And here I get this lamb
that thinks it is a dog or a
person, what do you do with
it?"said Mrs. Labelle.

days. To January of this year, the
same length of XT-3 had been on
for about a year and a half. Other
XT-3 later installed on the debarker
carries air at 200 psi and
hydraulic fluid at 2500 psi.
Downtime caused by hose failures
before XT-3 averaged about
five hours a week. Loss of hydraulic
fluid sometimes reached
350 gallons per week at $1.12 a
gallon. And had pollution control
regulations been as strict then as
now, serious problems could have
resulted from oil loss and subsequent
water pollution.
CanCel has its own Caterpillar
hydraulic press to customize XT-3
hose and coupling assemblies.
And they get excellent XT-3 availability
and speedy service from

If you are not already using

about converting. The benefits are

CHILDREN GET VERY INVOLVED CHOOSING AND DISCUSSING THE BOOKS THEY READ THROUGHOUT THE

"Gone Reading."
A sign to this effect may be
seen on playroom doors of more
than a dozen children, ages six
to 10, in the Quesnel area every
Thursday afternoon.
"Gone Reading" is a summer
program set up by the Quesnel
Municipal Library to help children
have fun reading the books
they want to read.
"Other libraries in the province
have had similar programs,
but to my knowledge it is the
first time we have had it in
Quesnel," said Audrey Boyd, in
charge of the project.
'The response isn't awfully
good. It seems to appeal mostly
to grades two, three and four.
'The ones we do have are
very enthusiastic about it and
enjoy talking about the books
they read," Mrs. Boyd said.
As a Helen Dixon Elementary
School teacher,.Mrs. Boyd
was somewhat surprised that
most of the participants are
from the Red Bluff School.
"I don't know whether the
word spread more quickly
there or whether that particular
school put more emphasis on
it," she said.
ADVERTISING
Although the "Gone Reading"
book club was publicized
by the library, Mrs. Boyd
wondered exactly to what
extent the individual schools
advertised it among their stud-

the recessional was accompanied
by Purcell's Trumpet Voluntary.
During the signing of the

covered with lace cloth and
decorated with heirloom candleholders
and a centre arrangement
of daisies, carnations and
fern-Ted Thompson sang God
Bless This Marriage.
Rev. Charles Morehouse officiated.
Given in marriage by her
father, the bride chose a gown
with white rashel knit lace over
ivory. Ivory cording outlined
the bodice middrift, neckline
and cuffs.
She wore a full, floor-length
skirt and matching Juliet cap
with waist length veil.
Kathleen designed and made
the dress herself.
Her only jewellery was an
emethyst pendant which originally
belonged to her grandmother.
BOUQUET
The bride carried a white
bible with cascading ribbons,
white apple blossoms and lily of
the valley as her bouquet.
Patti Lea and Vicki Turner
were maid of honor and bridesmaid,
respectively.
Both attendants wore flowered

Hats and carried bouquets of
yellow and mauve carnations
with white daisies and lily of
the valley.
The bride's mother chose a

The children participatingthe
program actually is open to
grade one to seven studentseach
week take home their own
choice of books from the
library.
Meeting every Thursday at 2
p.m. with Mrs. Boyd and "her
helper, 14-year old Darlene
Lavoie, the children talk about
the things they read, pick out
the books they want to take out
next and have time to do some
crafts with their two counsellors.
"We could do with more
helpers, but I suppose it is
difficult to get people to volunteer
during the summer months,"
said Mrs. Boyd.
She also would like to
more children out at the library
during "Gone Reading" sessions,
she said.
"It's nice meeting with them
and talking about their books.
"It helps me to keep up with
children's literature, too," said
Mrs. Boyd.
MURAL
A large color mural was
made especially for children
participating in the book club.
Displayed at the library it
depicts a boy "going fishing."
Each of the book club participants
has a little cardboard
"fish" with their name on it
pinned onto the mural at a
different spot as the child
advances in its individual reading
program.
There are ten steps of
advancement and for each two
books read children move ahead
one step towards the final
Thursday when they will receive
a certificate for completing
the whole program.
"Children past -grade one up
to grade seven are welcome to
join anytime during the summer,"
said Jean Turner, head
librarian.
The nice thing about the
program is that it doesn't cost
any money.
Even children from out of,'
town may participate without
charge.
"We are making an exception ;
here," said Mrs. Turner.
After school starts again in
fall, however, people outside
Quesnel town boundaries will
have to pay the annual $10 fee,
she said.
