Page 2 District Governor Visits Cassiar Lions

On Monday, September 22 the Cassiar Lions were honoured with a visit from their District Governor, Lion Vern Hilliard and his wife Elfriede. The Hilliard's reside at Healy Alaska, a small coal producing town 100 miles west of Fairbanks. The Cassiar Lions held a lovely dinner in the Curling Rink Lounge for all the Lions and their wives, and Governor Vern spoke on his beliefs of what Lionism is all about. As Lion Vern is a very dedicated Lion we hope that some of it will rub off onto our Cassiar Lions. The Hilliard's were very impressed with our town and all the work done by the Cassiar Lions. Governor Very also was very pleased to be able to initiate Don Bay croft into the Cassiar Lions. On September 20th a group of the Cassiar Lions, along with a few of the Watson Lake Lions, drove to Faro to attend the first Zone Meeting for this year. The Zone Chairman Lion Alf Guderjahn, Secretary Lion Paul Wood & wife Marlene, 1st Vice President Lion Reg Ash and family, Lion Frank McLean and wife Kae went along to keep everyone on the straight and narrow. Governor and Mrs. Hilliard also accompanied the group. It was a very successful journey and the Fdro Lions put on a good show. A very special thank you is sent to the Faro Lions for their hospitality and friendship. We enjoyed our visit with you very much. Overheard at Francis Lake: Zone Chairman, Lion Alf Guderjahn tells District Governor Lion Vern to go jump in the lake, - He did', (go for a swim that is'.) The next Zone Meeting will be held in Cassiar. CASSIAR LIONS CAD ET CUB S CO RPS The Cassiar Lions Army Cadet Corps is once again a going concern in our Community.

You must think about what they might do and be ready for unexpected actions. You must always show good manners even if others forget to do so. - Experts ride single file. This makes it easier for motorists. - Experts ride close to the curb. They never weave or wobble. They ride with the traffic. They always signal. - Experts don’t show off. They keep both hands on the handlebars. After signalling, they always return their left hand quickly to the handlebar. - Experts don’t carry parcels in their hand; They use a

For the past few weeks Arrow Transfer and P § H have been assembling the new 1900 shovel. The picture below shows the last stage of assembly. On September 25 the shovel began excavating on a trial basis and will be in waste production by the end of September. This shovel has an eleven yard bucket which will load a 75 ton truck in 4 passes. The new 1900 shovel was fabricated in Japan

For the past week or so all the ore has been deliver ed from the mine to the new concentration plant by the new tramline. The ore is delivered from the mine primary concentration plant through a tunnel and enclosed conveyor system to the tramline bin. The tramline buckets are loaded while moving. The whole tramline system requires only one operator who will be stationed at the mine terminal. Judging from the past week's per­ formance, this tramline will have more than sufficient TUNNEL LEADING TO THE MINE TRAMLINE LOADING STATION! capacity for the mill fibre production requirements.

Apparently there is still some misunderstanding about the eventual outcome of the use of the building now occupied by the Snack Bar. The Community Club Executive have no intention of closing down this facility They promised last January that they would give it another 6 months trial and if anyone came up with an idea whereby the Snack Bar could be put on a breakeven basis, that it would remain a Snack Bar as at present. Other­ wise the facilities would be remodelled to accommodate a regular restaurant as well as a small section to be used as a Snack Bar. During the remodelling the Snack Bar would be closed temporarily for a short time. As no one has come forth with a better solution your Club Executive are presently waiting_ to have the remodelling plans approved and expect tfie change to be made this fall. In the meantime the Snack Bar will operate as usual.
