CASTLEGAR NEWS, CASTLEGAR, B.C. THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1957 CASTLEGAR NEWS, CASTLEGAR, B.C. THEY DO IT FOR YOUR KIDS About forty men in this district are busy every week taking care of the Little League and Pony League baseball games, and they deserve a hand from every- one in the district for this commendable work. They devote a lot of time to these kids, fime that no doubt they could use in other ways for their own enjoyment, but they are willing to give it up for your children. These men are members of such district organiza- tions as the Castlegar and Kinnaird Fire Departments, the Canadian Legion, Branch 170; K. P. Lodge; AOTS Club; Kiwanis Club; Rotary Club; Robson Recreation Society and the Kinnaird Improvement Society. These are all busy organizations, but they are able to find men in their membership willing to take on just a little more work for the betterment of the youngsters in this area. A great interest is being taken in Little League Ball by the teachers and the School Board of District No, 9. There are 175 youngsters playing ball this sea- son and it takes a lot of organizing and planning to keep things running on schedule, umpiring the games and transporting the players around the district and here is where the parents can come in with some help. Umpires are needed at every game and cars are needed to take the players around the district to the various gomes, Parents are needed also just to.watch the games and give the boys encouragement. Tum out and give the kids the thrill of a cheering crowd which will add tremendously to the games. Give the kids a hand, even if it’s just clapping them together. WILL HAVE TO LEARN “SILENT CONVERSATION Human beings rely fess and less upon audible “sounds to communicate with one another, says a prom- inent educator. Instead, he says, man is returning to sign language to make himself understood. + Dry Alfred Larr of the University of California is the man who made the above revelations, although he meant no implications denoting a reversal of civiliza- - tion. Actually, it is becouse civilization has progressed to its present point that it has become necessary to augment sounds with gestures. A matter of necessity, is the way Dr. Lorr de- scribes the return to more primitive means of com- munication. Because the modern world is becoming noisier all the time, people subconsciously are learn- jing to read tips and interpret facial expressions or ges- tures. This is particularly true of those who work in noisy environments, but whose work demands accur- acy of hearing. “Nearly everyone reads lips at one time or an- other without realizing it," says Dr. Larr, adding that isturbed, normal environment such hand “t’’ may be difficult to under- stand if the listener is’not watching the mouth of the talker, Those who may wish proof of Dr, Larr’s state- ments need only turn to television to find it. A per- . son not watching a television screen may lose part of the dialogue through laughter or.other obstructing noises, whereas a person watching the screen can tgll from the expressions, gestures or lips what is said. lf the. present trend toward noise continues, it may become necessary for waitresses, reporters, secre- taries and others whose jobs depend, at least in part, on accurate personal communication to take courses “in lip reading end the meaning of gestures. GEMS OF THOUGHT. .- Too often society looks at a man and says he has one bad eye, when what's’ more important is that he has one good one. —Paul Harvey News. “SCOTT'S SCRAP BOOK By RJ. SCOTT.

It is headed ‘The History of the Exjloration of the Straits of Juan de Fuco, and begins: “The story of Michggl Lok, English Merchant of Venice published in ‘Purchas his Pilgrimes’ 1625, re- fated that a Greek mariner, Apostolos Valerianus (called Juan de Fuca) in the employ of Spain, ‘dis- covered in 1582, a strait between the 47th and 48th degrees of tatitude through which he sailed from the Pacific to the Atlantic and back, and then back to Mexico. (They had some pretty fair liars in those days, too apparently). Lok’s story gained wide cred- ence but Spanish archives bear no record of de Fuca or his explorations. COOK SEARCHES IN VAIN tn 1778, Captain Cook searched for the strait , but saw only Cape Flattery before being driven out to sea by a storm. In 1789 Charles Barktey discovered the strait and_thinking it was that mentioned by Lok, called it the Strait of Juan de Fuca. His bride who ac- companied him (and whose diary records the discov- ery) was the first white woman to see these straits. . “In 1779 Commander Charles Meares sent his longbecat up the sound and in 1789 Robert Gray, an American fur trader entered it in the sloop ““Wash- ington.” (Meanwhile Meares at Nootka became the first landowner in 8B.
