Weavers plan annual exhibit

The first Selkirk Weavers’
Guild meeting since last June
was held at the Resker Hall
in Robson on Sept. 16 with 18
regular members and four
guests in attendance.

-Members immediately be-
gan planning, delegating and
assuming responsibilities for
the annual exhibit and sale.
This will be held on Nov. 13
and 14 at the Castlegar Com-
munity Complex, with a pre-
view showing Friday evening
and the sale to take place on
Saturday.

In the light of high in-
surance expences for the
weaving room.at the Douk-
hobor Historical Society Vil-
lage and a rent increase for
the meeting room at the Res-
ker Hall, the guild discussed
the possibility of an increase’
in membership fees.

A workshop is planned for
April or May with Mineke

, FREEPORT, TEX. (AP)
— Folks here figure there's
always a way around a prob--
lem.

This time, though, it took a
helicopter.

The Freeport city council
noted a state-law require-
ment that on-site public
hearings be held by muni-
cipalities seeking to annex
land. :

So when the owner of land
near Jones Creek refused to
grant city officials permission
to hold the hearing on his
turf, the council had itself a
24-hectare (60-acre) problem.

Officials tried to get to the
land by car, but a gate was
closed and locked. Un-
daunted, the officials re-
turned to city hall, and found
that a helicopter was avail-
able to take four of them to
the hearing site.

Mayor Tobey Davenport
and two council members
were chosen to create a quo-
rum. A reporter joined them.
The four were deposited in a
pasture, to the surprise of a
herd of cows.

Davenport called the meet-
ing to order, read the re-
quired notice and asked if
anyone opposed the annex-
ation.

A cow mooed.

Annexation approved.

one wishing instruction in
any of those areas should
contact program convener,
Nancy Knight.

It was suggested that a
follow-up course to Ruby
Marsh's instruction for be-
ginner weavers through the
Castlegar and District Rec-
reation Commission be in-
troduced. If sufficient inter-
est is shown, this is a pos-
sibility for the winter ses-
sion.

For the meeting on Oct. 21,
members are invited to bring
along any odd yarns with
prices clearly marked for a
yarn swap. If any members
have a brilliant idea for a
theme for this year's sale,
they are urged to make their
suggestions at this meeting.

The S.W.G. would like to
extend a welcome to pros-

pective new members. New

tists are invited to attend
meetings on the third Wed-
