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

Center in Quesnel where they
were met by Mr. and Mrs. L.

tour of the building. Everyone

enjoyed a cup of coffee with the
Kelsey's who operate the Centre
for School District 28.

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.

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.
