Spring Calls
To Sportsmen

man,

As she beckons with Nature's hand.

By the side of the wandering river,
Where the wilful trout may be lur-

To take the bait that is offered
The Sportsman is in tune.

The pussy willows are bursting,
The. crocus is in bloom,

‘Ye old black crow is returning,
The Sporsman is‘in tune,

The blaze of a beautiful sunset,
The honk of a migrating goose .
As he sets his wings and sails nor-

From reverie shakes many a@

The call of inquisitive Blue Bird,
The sound of the raucious Jay,
All tell the listening Sportsman
Spring is on her way.

Sportsmen's Association
President Gives Report

By JACK WHITE
The Castlegar and District
Sportsmen’s Association was form-
ed in the spring of 1962 to re-
place the Rod and Gun club which
had been in existence before the

war.

During it’s first year the club
had a total membership of 48 and
started laying the foundation of
our club as we have it today,
The first Junior Firearms Train-
ing program started in 1961 and
in 1962 a site at Sheep Lake was

Education’ s Door
For Youngsters

“Most parents of high school
students wish to see that their
children have the opportunity to go
as far as their abilities will take
them,” says Jim Lambeth, mana-
Ge of the Bank of Montreal, Cas-

legar.

“Unfortunately the cost of a
college education is more ‘than
many: familics can easily afford

. and the alternative is a heavy load
of debt which can continue well
after p eraduatlons he said.

of Montreal has designed a Univer-.

parents of high school students in

can be tailored to the family in-

This is a life-insured combin-

the cost is only a fraction of the
interest charges of a straight loan

looked into for future club acti-
vities,

In 1982 we graduated some 20
boys and girls in Junior Firearms
Safety training. 4

In February of 1962 we be-
eame registered as a society. ~

In April. of this year we held
the Zone Meeting for the West
Kootenay Rod and Gun Clubs.

In May we held our’ first
crow shoot.

In June of 1962 we held our
Fish Derby. This derby was held
on ‘Sheep. Lake to draw the at-
tention of the Department of Re-
creation’ and Conservation to the
state the fish in’ the lake were in.
It was ‘hoped that the Department
would get together with those us-
ing overflow water from -this wa-
1ershed: and come to an: agree-
ment on poisoning of the lake so
that it can be restocked for fu-
ture good fishing. Now with the
advent of new techniques and poi-
sons which are non-harmful to
human beings, this ‘dream should
come true this year.

cess on each occasion, In this
month too we had two members
of the Trail Club out to give us
a run down in Big Game Trophy
scoring and plans were Jaid to
start our own club competition in
"63 and to have a fish and game
dinner.

All in all it was an active and
very successful year for our club.
We have one of the most progres-
sive and active clubs in all of
B.C. according to all reports and,
with tne spirit of friendly cama-
radrie and co-operation that this
club has as a unit, I look: for-
ward to a bigger and better year
of 1963,

I would like to extend a vote
of thanks to all members of the
community who have backed us
unhesitatingly whenever called on.
To the B.C. Forest Service and
RCMP who have so willingly and
quickly responded to our Search
and Rescue organization. To the
news media. who have given us the
utmost in cooperation and cover-
age,
Last, but not least, I would
like to thank the long-suffering
wives, of club members who not
only put up with there dreamy-
eyed better halves during fishing
and hunting season, but who have
turned out and backed club en-

Our total for 1962
climbed to the dizzying number
1of 150 and is expected to double
in 1963.

In- November our Trap Club
held it’s first turkey shoot with
a good turnout and a very success-
ful first’ attempt.

Our search and rescue team
was called out twice during the
