A compromise
A local farmer wanted to rechan-
nel the St. Helens Creek where it
crosses his property because it was
creating an erosion problem during
spring runoff. The. “ Ministry of
Natural Resources could not allow
the creek to be rechanneled because
it would have destroyed the fishery
capability of the creek. The ministry
and the farmer have come to a
compromise which solved the ero-
sion problem and prevented harm to
the trout spawning bed of the river.

Driver inattention, improper passing,
failure to stop, improper turns and following

"Driving is a full time job,' said Sargeant

COMMUNITY SERVICE
BY CHERYL COTE
What is Community Serv-
ice?' To some, people this
would mean' giving money,
perhaps a 414ation *hen,
someone comes pestering at
the door and forgetting about
it until the next, time. Per -
baps it's a club or orkaniia-
tion giving a piece of play-
ground equipment or a room
at the hospital with a big
plaque on it so everyone will
know who did it, then forget-
ting about it.
What about the person
who devotes twenty-five
years of her life to a Cub
Pack and • the Boy Scout
•Association. Can you imag-
ine the number of young
people she would have come
to -know and helped guide
through their formative
years, during her association
with this organization?
' It all started one Apple
Day when her five year old
impressionable son and his
friend decided it was neat to
get a basket, fill it with
apples, out of mommy's
lle,.andto 0 door to door
for the above
fidget mon
mentioned fruit. When mom-
my found out what these
youngsters had been up to,
she marched them, baskets
• and money to the Akela, the
• head leader of the cub pack.
The boys then explained
what they had done. After all
had been examined, it was
decided the boys 'could be
Pack Mascots and mommy
ended up volunteering as a•
leader with the pack. The
boys grew,, officially became
cubs and mommy advanced
to the position of Akela.
Every year, new boys
joined the pack, which had
become known throughout
the District for having good
•leadership. Other packs
seemed to have trouble get-
ting new cubs or even
keeping the older boys inter-
ested, but Pt. Edward always
had a full pack. Parents who
• had problems disciplining
their eight year old 'sons „
noticed a difference in thetti
after a month with Akela.
Can you imagine the shock
on parents' faces, when
invited to a meeting to see a
rambunctious, -noisy bunch
