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

meeting on Nov. 18 at the
Central Kootenay Health
Centre.

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.

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.
She said it could be a lifesaver if I
ever had car trouble on the road,
because I could get help without
putting myself in danger by having
to leave my car to seek assistance.

I took my car in for service a
couple of weeks ago and had my
banner folded in the glove compart-
ment. When I went to pick up my car,
the banner was gone

When‘ I asked my sister where
she got hers, she said she had sent
for it after reading a letter in your
column from a woman whose car had
broken down on a highway as she
was rushing to the side of her criti-
call ill os ld. She had placed her

Thad never been in trouble before as

an adult. [haven't been in any trouble
since then.

Thave noticed that on job applica-
tions certain questions are asked
about “any arrests.” | don't want to
lie on a job application and risk be-
ing caught and later being fired — or
even being sent to jail because of
lying on the application. So, my
question is this: Since my arrest was
so long ago, is there a way for me to
have it sealed so that I can put that
part of my life behind me and not
worry about it following me for the
rest of my life?

Please don’t print my name or

DEAR GOING STRAIGHT: In
some states, if the offender was
under 21 years of age when the
crime was committed and has
subsequently proved to be of
good character, the record can
be expunged (destroyed). Con-
sult a lawyer. It may cost a few
hundred dollars, but the peace
of mind would be well worth the
price.
