The opening ceremony was performed by the Chief Explorer, and Mrs. Keith Kraul conducted a game of communication, "Here We Come." Mrs. William Froats explained to the girls how to total their points for the hearing-seeing list. Points are counted for knowledge of Brazil, which they have been studying, and an absent Explorer being contacted, etc. The point system is to involve the girls in the activities at the expeditions and in between meetings. Highest points were obtained by Ruth Ann Atkinson and Janice Kestle who tied with 30 points each. For points and fun at home they are making a page-sized poster on how to communicate without words, for example, smile, frown, or just being kind. Mrs. Kraul told more about the Brazilian man who had learned to read after he was grown-up. This system is called, Each one, Teach one, and is carried out in many parts of the World. On the board were listed the ways to communicate or put an idea across without words. More banners were brought in on this topic. Guest-helper, Mrs. J. W.

March 2- Ladies Auxiliary General Meeting 10 - Men's General Meeting. Every Thursday night Ladies Auxiliary BINGO. And that's 30 for this week. REMEMBER; The bonds of matrimony aren't worth much unless you keep up the interest! This year's Timmy and several other children were present and enjoyed rides given by the snowmobilers. Sometime in the near future safety films and short movies on snowmobiling are going to be shown during regular meetings. Further details will be available later. At this time we would like to give a word of praise to the safety committee for the fine job they are trying to do in showing mistakes in driving and attitudes with regard to operating snowmo biles. ,Of course, as has been said many times before — ultimate snowmobile safety lies squarely on the shoulders of the snowmobiles, himself. He can still smash into a tree if he's careless, or get hit by a train if he's riding the track right of way; or cut himself up on " barbed wire if he doesn't look where he's going; or drown a mighty cold death if he ventures out on unsafe ice. In the final analysis, the vehicle still goes where the driver guides it. Remember, too, its never the snowmobile that gets intoxicated. Remember — safety first.
