He Was Man Closest to South Pole

When Captain James Cook
sailed MS Hesolutton toward
the South Pole in January 1774
a 17-year-old apprentice climbed
aut on the bowsprit just before
the vessel came about to travel
worthward again. Years later,
this apprentice became Captain
George Vancouver. He always
claimed he had been closer to

the South Pole than any other} |

man alive.

Vancouver was born in
Norfolk in: 1757.
“the navy when he was 15 and
his crulse with Cook was to gain
experience needed fore a naval
ob leer career. He was mid-
shipman with Cook when Cook
landed at Nootka Sound when
he discovered Hawail and when
the ‘great ‘navigator was Killed

He entered]!

at Hawaii,

Vancouver climbed rapidly
in the service and was given
command of an expedition which
saw the ships Discovery and
Chatham journey to the Pacific
Northwest to receive back from
Spain those Possessions which
had been seized in 1789.

Vancouver explored . the
coastline of what is now British
Columbia and ‘discovered the
theory of a northwest passage
linking with Hudson's Bay or the
Atlantic.

Association was held in the Le-

siding.

The treasurer.reported’ that
$25 had been sent to the Salmo]
Lions: Club for the use: of their
games during the 1965 Fall Fair.
A discussion regarding the hold-
ing of the fair this. year ‘took
place and. it was felt:by those
present that the: fair should be

work that has s brought Re up | to
what it is.

However as none present
felt that two or three -people

BA that the fair be disbanded for

about two years.

If any organization is inter-
ested in the fair all files and
books will be available to them.

The trophies were also dis-
cussed and the secretary was in-
structed to inquire as to what'it
would cost to have them tarnish-
