*?ac£& and e ?attcie& 

By MABEL RICHARDS " ••:>•'-\ 

I came back from a few days spent in Montreal with ; 

a variety of impressions: 

•• 

The girls are Twiggy-chic. ; 

Dress shops do not cater to any lady who has allowed 

herself to eat beyond a size 14. \ 

Montreal makes other Canadian cities appear as over- ; 

grown farm villages, but their weather makes Saskat- J 

che.wan air feel like the banana belt. \ 

* * * • 

Place Ville Marie, that swarm of underground shops I 

where you can spend a week without coming up into the I 

sunshine, is a marvellous hodge-podge but the prices • 

are beyond the reach of the average woman, in my opinion. I 

The specialty dress shops were featuring, the week I t 

was there, gorgeous creations in black and white, all of I 

them designed for the very young. White lace frills at I 

neck and wrist marked coats as well as dresses. Had I 

they been less mini, they would have been a barkening I 

back to the days of the cavaliers. 

• 

With these stunning outfits, the tiny madamoiselles wore ' 

thigh-high white boots, and on their heads wisps of black I 

or white fur. 

I 

Jn cities further west I saw few of these black and white I 

creations, so perhaps it is anew style, or perhaps some- • 

thing uniquely French-Canadian. 

I 

* * * J 

Anyone who attended Expo will not have to be told of • 

the marvellous eating places in Montreal, but to the new- • 

comer they are a source of delight. I gained the impression • 

that the worst of their restaurants was an improvement • 

over the best in some western cities. Montreal is worth visiting - simply to 

eat' 1 , much less for tourist rubber- • 

necking. 

I found a tiny spot which in English would be called 

"The Laughing Bull", where charcoal steaks were a 

speciality. With the steak they served a marvellous sauce, 

and potato baked in charcoals, and a salad with a very 

special flair. I am afraid that in this little cafe, and others, 

I ate my way through a budget which had been optimistically 

designed to carry me across Canada, and by no means 

did. 

* * * 

If Montrealers carry any animosity towards the non- 

French - speaking Canadian they certainly hide it well. I 

met no one who did not speak English, and no one who 

They

people who go out of their way to make things easy 

for the visitor. 

In a small coffee house I met students who were strongly 

separatists, and who had little respect for either Reni 

Levesque, or Pierre Elliott Trudeau. 

"How", I asked them, "are you going to get along without 

v American investment if you separate from the rest of 

Canada? If you have an answer to that one, the rest of 

us will be very interested!" 

"Socialism 1" said the young men in unison. 

While ,1 was in Montreal Lanier LaPierre made a speech 

in which he warned his listeners that any attempt to take 

over American investment in Quebec would see the U.S. 

Marines on their soil the next day. The young separatists 

scoffed at the idea. 

^4 sjc )fi , 

All of Eastern Canadaj indeed as far as the Lakehead, j 

was bathed in snow last week, and icy sleet, and cold j 

winds which pierced one's very marrow. But the prairies-; 

were nude, and all across the land early golfers were ; 

enjoying some untimely warm weather. 

Back to Vancouver, -- and rain, of course. But the mag- ; 

nolias and Japanese cherry, .and the forsythia is in bloom, ; 

and one can easily forget the rain before such beauty^ ; 

Truly, Canada is a land of contrasts, some of it dull J 

and some of it fascinating in the extreme. I am glad there ; 

is such variety; I am glad that French Canada is apart ; 

of our country and I hope to Heaven they never leave us, ; 

and I am glad that, however briefly, I was able to take | 

in this panorama of a land. ;

Local Kinsmen Attend 

Mother's March Meet 

At the annual meeting of the, 

Rehabilitation Foundation of 

B.C. held in Vancouver recently, 

approximately 200 area and 

local Mother's March representatives 

and Mother's 

March campaign Chairmen 

were present to assist and formulate 

policy for the distribution 

of funds derived from 

the recently held Mother's 

March appeal throuhout the 

Province. 

Among the delegates at the 

Kinsmen-sponsored foundation 

meeting were four members of 

the Quesnel KinsmenClub,Carl 

Foote, president of the Quesnel 

club, Fred Baxter area rep. 

Bill Bass, observer, and George 

Owens, local rep., and 1968 

Mother's March Chairman. 

The total figures of this 

year's Mother's March Appeal 

will reach an all time high of 

$240,000. Of this total $1,867. 

19 was raised in Quesnel. 

The objective of the Foundation 

which began in 1944 as the 

results of an epidemic of Poliomyelitis 

in B.C., is to pioneer 

research and build special 

health centres towards assisting 

handicapped people, especially 

children. Once the program 

has attained its goal, the 

Foundation turns the services 

over to the government or a 

hospital. The G.F. Strong 

Rehabilitation Centre of which 

the Foundation, through the 

Kinsmen Clubs inB.C.,bought 

the land and donated the 

swimming pool especially built 

for handicapped people in 

wheelchairs, and the Travelling 

Clinics throughout B.C. are 

examples. 

Two programs that will be 

turned over to Responsible Authorities 

will be the speech 

and hearing clinic to the Vancouver 

General Hospital and the 

Vancouver Training Workshop 

for the handicapped to the government. 

At the luncheon held on Sunday, 

March 24, the guest speaker 

was Dr. Pat McGeer MLA 

and director of the Kinsmen 

Laboratory of Neurological Research 

at the University of B.C., 

a project started in 1967 to . 

conduct research in field relating 

to diseases and disabilities 

arising in or involving nerve 

tissues. 

Dr., McGeer spoke on the 

"Changing Roles of Volunteering 

Service Foundation." He 

stressed that with diseases becoming 

more prevelant as days 

go by, the foundation must keep 

pace to save lives by phrasing 

out their present services 

quicker and go into the pioneering 

field. He states that it is 

the government duties to look 

after health and welfare in the 

country and said not to fear 

the loss of the services for the 

government will see that they 

are kept on especially when the 

services are dealing with handicapped 

children. 

At the close of the meeting, 

all delegates were invited to go 

through the various clinics such 

as the Vancouver Training 

Workshop for the handicapped, 

the speech and hearing clinic 

Welcome Wagon 

We welcome the following 

newcomers to Quesnel: 

Mr. and Mrs. Larry Cayen, 

formerly of Surrey, B.C. 

Mr. and Mrs. Valance Tetroe 

and family, from Ontario. 

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Stuart, 

from Terrace, B.C. 

Mrs. Ruth Pennington and 

daughter, from Vancouver. 

and the G.F. Strong Rehabilitation 

Centre. 

The comments of one local 

delegate sums up the whole 

meeting. "It is a- big - shock 

to see at these clinics children 

in wheelchairs, deformed 

and handicapped. One wonders 

above what is done and thinks 

about what can further be done 

to help these people especially 

pre-school children if the 

money needed is available. 

When one talks about thousands 

of dollars spent at these clinics, 

it is only a drop in the bucket 

what can be spent. It is sad 

indeed, when one's future is 

hinged to the price of adollar," 

Trip 

CPA Stewardess Pat Adams 

and Mother's March chairman 

George Owens were present 

Saturday morning to see fouryear-old 

Neil and his mother

assistance of Mother's March

8 - THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1968 - THE QUESNEL CARIBOO OBSERVER 

; 

By RUTH PATCHETT 

A fashion show highlighted 

the afternoon session of the 

annual Cariboo District Wo- 

. men's Institute Spring Rally 

at Williams Lake last week. 

Featured were Pat Cornwall 

of Skyline who wore a sari, 

Ruth Grover in black negligee 

and Janice Lawlor in pink ensemble. 

SPEAKING CONTEST 

The topic for this year's 

Public Speaking Contest was 

"An Influence on My Life", 

and the three contestants, 

Marge Jacobson of Skyline, Ev 

Fisher of Kersley and Cynthia 

Richardson of Skyline, all held 

the interest of their audience 

throughout. The contest judge, 

Mrs. Anne Stevenson of Williams 

Lake, gave helpful comments 

on the speeches and 

awarded first prize to Ev Fisher, 

who told the story of her 

month's stay at St. Raphael, 

California, where she took 

training in the use of a seeing - 

eye dog. Mrs. Fisher has her 

dog, Erica, on the platform 

with her, and of course, Erica 

spent the entire day at the Rally 

and behaved in true seeingeye 

dog fashion. 

CONTEST WINNERS 

For the darned sock - Bridge 

Lake W.L; for the pie - Watch 

Lake; for the puffed quilt - 

Springhouse; for the hooked rug 

- Bridge Lake, Because time 

was limited, the authentic dolls 

will be judged later and returned 

to their owners. 

Mrs. Bill Broughton was presented 

with a copy of the Federated 

W.I.'s Centennial Project 

- "A Heritage of Canadian 

Handicrafts'. Mrs. Broughton 

had taken all the information 

given her by the Cariboo 

W.I.'s and composed the Cariboo's 

submission to this book. 

The Quesnel View members 

brought a light touch to the 

afternoon with their comical 

skit and songs, just prior to 

the workshop session. 

The workshop questions this 

year dealt with aspects of the 

status of women. With over 

80 women in attendance, the 

meeting room really buzzed 

while the eight groups discussed 

the questions in various 

corners. The results of each 

group's discussion will be evaluated 

and a report given at 

the District Convention to be 

held at Dragon Lake Hall on 

June 1st. 

NOMINATIONS 

Appointed on the Nominations 

Committee for the Convention 

were Mrs. J.R. Yorston, R.R. 

1, Quesnel, B.C. and Mrs. Joe 

Komori, 70 Mile, B.C. 

SUCCESSION DUTIES 

Mrs. Fred Hinsche of the 

W.I. Corner 

141 Mile Ranch, Mrs. Orval 

Fletcher of 140 Mile Ranch 

and Mrs. D. Bell of 150 Mile 

Ranch, spoke on the difficulties 

faced by women when they 

must pay death taxes following 

the death of their husbands. 

Many times ranchers wives 

have been forced to sell all 

the cattle and other assets in 

order to pay the tax, leaving 

them with nothing to live on. 

This subject will be gone "into 

more fully and a resolution presented 

at a later date. Meanwhile, 

these women have submitted 

briefs to the Royal Commission 

on the Status of Women, 

which is a start in bringing 

the plight of widows left 

with, taxable estates, to the 

attention of the government. 

The Rally closed on a pleasant 

note as members enjoyed 

the pies, baked for. the contest, 

with their coffee, before 

returning home. 

C.A.R.S. therapists in B.C. 

treated 2,420 patients with 

strokes, paralysis, cerebral 

palsy and other disabling conditions 

in 1966. 

OPEN 

Festival 

Red Bluff grades 5 to 7, under 

the direction of Mrs. Russell, 

contributed a Square Dance 

number to the Spring Festival 

of music and drama at the 

Quesnel Secondary School Friday, 

March 29. Sixteen different 

acts were staged by school 

children throughout the district 

and included a grade five choral 

group from the Carson 

School. Mr. Burton Gifford directed 

the youngsters in their 

presentation of the "Fraser 

Bridge Song" and "Sleighride." 

The Dragon Lake students of 

grades four and five chose a 

play as their part of the activities 

and did a commendable 

job of acting in "Kettle Full of 

Brains." --Observer Photos.

At Cancer Convention iliary 

Mrs. Greta Parminter of the 

Quesnel Unit of the Canadian 

Cancer Society was one of more 

than 100 delegates who attended 

the recent annual meeting of the 

B.C. and Yukon Division of the 

Canadian Cancer Society at 

UBC. 

Sessions extended over three 

days and included lectures, 

slide presentations, a dinner 

meeting and a tour of the Cancer 

Research Centre at the 

University of British Columbia. 

Keynote speaker was Dr. 

Robert Taylor, Secretary General 

of the International Union 

Against Cancer. 

"I think all, delegates have 

a better understanding of the 

Fight Against Cancer now," 

said Mrs. Parminter. "Thefinal 

solution to the problem of 

cancer will only come through 

research. 

. "But research is expensive, 

so I look forward to the April 

Conquer Cancer Campaign as 

another step in the war on 

Cancer. Research only costs 

money, but cancer costs lives." 

Mr. R.C. Kenmuir, president 

of the B.C. and Yukon Division 

for the past four years, stepped 

down and retired insurance executive 

R.A. Sanderson assumed 

the presidency. 

"We have a long way to go 

in the Fight Against Cancer, 

but I feel more and more confident 

that we are making significant 

progress," said Mrs. 

Parminter.

DRAGON LAKE — The annual 

meeting of the Cariboo 

Farmer's Institute was held on 

Friday evening in the Institute 

Hall. Officers for the incoming 

year are President A. K. Richardson, 

Vice-president Ed 

Zschiedrich, Sec. Treasurer 

Don Symington and directors 

Peter Josephy, John Annett and 

Bob Mufford, 

The water problem at the hall 

was discussed at length and a 

joint meeting with the ladies 

will be held soon when a new 

proposal to the problem will 

be presented. The group 

approved several recommendations- 

to be sent to the government 

with regard to Government 

land-clearing regulations. 

* * * 

Although it was 55 years ago 

on March 20 that TomTrueman 

first arrived intheDragonLake 

District, this is the first year 

he has ever picked fresh mushrooms 

on that day. 

* * * 

Mrs. Bill Irwin is expected 

home this week from Prince 

i George where she has been 

visiting her mother Mrs. Crotteau. 

* * * 

A very successful 'open 

house' followed by a parentteacher 

group meeting was held 

in Lakeview School on March 

20. Plans are being made to 

raise money to purchase special 

gynf equipment for the °new 

activity room. 

* * * 

The house on Symington Road 

owned by Ernie Martens which 

was originally built and owned 

by Tom Nevin, burnt to the 

ground late Sunday afternoon. 

It had been vacant for several 

months so the cause of the fire 

is a mystery. Neighbours managed 

to save a storage shed near 

the house by throwing v/ater on 

it. 

* * * 

DRAGON LAKE—The Dragon 

Lake PTA met on March 26 at 

the school and after a short 

meeting everyone travelled to 

the School District 28 Resource 

Center in Quesnel where they 

were met by Mr. and Mrs. L. 

Kelsey who gave them a guided 

tour of the building. Everyone 

was very impressed and 

heartily recommended that 

other PTA's or interested 

groups plan a similiar event. 

Before leaving home everyone 

enjoyed a cup of coffee with the 

Kelsey's who operate the Centre 

for School District 28. 

* * * 

Congratulations to Mr. and 

Mrs. Donald Preston (nee Darlene 

Wheeler) both of this district, 

on their marriage in 

Quesnel on March 30.

Mr. and Mrs. Bev. Wheeler 

from the Peace River, formerly 

of Dragon Lake, are visiting 

their son and family the 

Lloyd Wheelers, and attended 

the marriage and reception on 

March 30 of their granddaughter 

Darlene.

Mrs. Nettie Sornburger from 

Ontario and Mrs. Liz Marmes 

from W infield, Saskatchewan, 

sisters-in-law of Mrs. Mary 

Wall, have returned to their 

homes after a very pleasant 

visit especially as they had 

not seen each other for 48 

years. 

* * * 

Sympathy is extended to Mrs. 

Elsie Heppner who was unable 

to be present at the funeral of 

her father, who passed away 

recently at Brandon, Manitoba.

Mrs. D. Symington. 

OAPO Meet 

At the April meeting'of the 

O.A.P.O. in the United Church 

hall on Tuesday Alderman Ceal 

Tingley addressed members on 

the subject of an intensive care 

hospital which it is hoped will 

be established, in Quesnel. The 

question of sending a petition 

to the Cariboo's provincial 

representative, Bob Bonner, 

was discussed and approved. 

The Sing Song which was to 

have been held at Fraser Village 

is now planned for the 

United Church hall, (upstairs) 

on April 9. This will include 

songs by a ladies glee club, 

a male quartette, and community 

singing. 

Everyone is welcome to join 

in the fun. 

Birthdays 

J. Williams, left, and Amos 

Carson, right, celebrated birthdays 

during April and pose 

with their birthday cake during 

the regular social O. A. P. gathering 

held on the.first Tuesday 

in the month. There was on other 

gentleman who was born in April 

too, but he was camera shy. 

"I've never had my picture 

taken and I never will" he 

stoutly maintained. 

--Observer Photo 

(Continued from psige' four) 

when lifted from their normal 

nursery environment. 

Another advantage is that the 

bullet desing lends itself to 

mechanization of planting and 

makes' possible the development 

of a planting machine 

which could do the work of a 

number of planters who are not 

always readily available when 

required. This could be of much 

importance in view of the tight 

schedule of British Columbia's 

reforestation program which 

has as its objective the production 

of 75 million seedlings 

a year by 1975. 

In addition to the factors of 

increased' planting speed and 

still-to-be-determined surviv- . 

al rates, there is the all-important 

cost factor. Certain aspects 

of the system now on 

trial are more expensive, but 

there are other considerations 

such as thereduction of nursery 

cost, the more universal choice 

of growing areas over the limited 

choice of the present nursery 

system and the difficulty of 

locating suitable sites. 

The break-even point could 

come with the survival rate 

alone. If this point is reached, 

many other factors favour the 

bullet-planting method on 

selected reforestation sites, 

and it is hoped the next few 

years .will provide the answer.

Mother Shipton's Prophecies 

Have you ever heard of Mother Shipton's Prophecies? 

While I was visiting in Saskatchewan my mother dug 

up the poem which Mother Shipton wrote, believe it or 

not, in the year 1559! Perhaps you will find the predictions 

of this ancient lady as fascinating as I did, and will marvel 

at how many of them have come to pass 400 years later. . . 

MOTHER SHIPTON'S AMAZING PROPHECIES 

A house of glass shall come to pass 

In merry England, but, alas, 

War will follow with the work 

In the land of the Turk, 

And state and state in fierce strife 

Struggle for each other's life. 

Carriages without horses shall go, 

And accidents fill the world with woe. 

In London Primrose Hill shall be 

And the centre of a Bishop's see. 

Around the world thoughts shall fly 

In the twinkling of an eye. 

Through the hills men shall ride • 

And neither horse nor ass bestride. 

|f 

Under water men shall walk, 

Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk. 

Iron in the water shall float 

As easily as a wooden boat. 

God shall be found and shown 

In a land that's now unknown. 

Fire and water shall wonders do, 

And England shall admit a Jew. 

Three time three shall lovely France 

Be led to dance a bloody dance, 

Before her people shall be free 

Three tyrant rulers shall she see, 

Each springing from a different dynasty, 

And now a word in uncouth rhyme 

Of what shall be in later time. 

In those far-off wonderful days 

Women shall get a strange odd craze 

To dress like men and breeches wear, 

And cut off their beautiful locks of hair, 

And ride astride with brazen brow 

As witches do on broomsticks now. 

Their love shall die and marriage cease 

• And babes and sucklings so decrease 

Their wives shall fondle cats and dogs. 

In eightee - hundred and ninety-six 

Build your houses of rotten sticks, 

For then shall mighty wars be planned 

And fire and sword sweep over the land. 

And those who live the century through 

In fear and trembling this will do; 

Fly to the mountains and the glens, 

To bogs and forests and wild dens, 

For tempests will rage and oceans will roar 

And Gabriel stand on sea and shore, 

And as he toots his wondrous horn 

Old worlds shall die and new be born. 

In the air men shall be seen 

In black, in white, and in green. 

How strange, but yet they shall be true. 

The world upside down shall be. 

And gold be found at the root of a tree. 

The world to an end shall come 

In nineteen-hundred and eighty-one.
