a14 27,1991 @ CWL to donate bazaar proceeds to St. Rita’s St. Joseph’s Catholic Wom- en’s League November gener- al meeting opened with a prayer led by president There- sa Hajdasz. Business from the bazaar, held Oct. 26, was discussed and a motion to donate the proceeds towards the hall’s completion was passed unan- imously. Father Herman expressed his pleasure and gave a de- tailed account of what is yet to be done. A decision was made to use the large pumpkin which was displayed at the bazaar to make pies and bread. Many of our guests attend- ing the tea and bazaar ex- pressed their delight at the new spacious hall and of the lovely selections of articles and baking available for sale. Our success was due to all who participated in any way. Winners of the raffle were: Maria Silva, a quilt; Christine Stadler of Grand Forks, a ba- by afghan; Laurel Edwards of Grand Forks), mystery bas- kets; B. Rohn, door prize; E. Harrison, garlic braid; Mary Campbell and M. McDowell of Trail, halloween cakes. Diocesan meetings have been held in Castlegar be- cause of the central location. These events have been and will continue to be catered by CWL members, the last being in October with Josephine Fornelli, Rosa Fogolin and Theresa Hajdasz hosting. The meeting adjourned with prayers for the sick and suffering of St. Rita’s Parish. Local Lions clubs head south for visit with Northport members On Nov. 14, a large contin- gent of Beaver Valley Lions and Ladies along with Trail Lions, Grand Forks Lions and Castlegar Lions attended a supper meeting of the North- port , Wash. Lions Club. District Governor John MacPherson from Castlegar gave a most inspiring speech. He also presented Barrie Robinson of the Beaver Valley Lions club with a 20-year membership pin. Robinson is the onl: ly charter member still active in the Beaver Valley club. The district governor also installed two new members in- to the Beavér Valley Lions club — Nellie Tull and Noella Skulnec — who were both giv- en a hearty welcome by all those present. It was an pyetles of good food and great noe tality — the t: dé mark of Li- onism throughout the world. Membership in Lions Clubs is open to both women and men. Anyone who is interest- ed in joining or wishes infor- mation may contact Lions 8 in their ties.

Those volunteers that at- tended the District AGM in Fairmont in October gave a brief outline of their activities and shared the information they had acquired at the var- ious workshops. Also in October, a success- ful Breast Self-Examination Teaching Clinic was held at the Castlegar Hospital. Thir- teen local women attended the clinic and took the oppor- tunity to learn first-hand the correct method of self-exam- ination, thus improving their chances of early detection of any breast abnormality. A great deal of concern was voiced at the meeting about the amount of smoking smoking allowed on the ah. etrimental effects of breathing first and second- hand tobacco smoke are well known and documented, but there is obviously much more educating that needs to be done. Any club or group wis! to become smoke free pas tain relevant material from the Castlegar Unit. Some volunteers showed interest in selling daffodils next spring to raise extra funds just prior to the April campaign. This has not been done locally for a number of years, but hopefully, there will be enough public interest to make it worthwhile. The next meeting will be held on Mojday, Jan. 13, 1992 at the same location. @ Wednesday, November 27, 1991 158 Police Banner Offers Blanket Of Security to Single Driver DEAR ABBY: Last year, my sis- ter gave me a large plastic PLEASE CALL POLICE banner, which I kept in the glove compartment of my car.
