‘Creek, held an enrolment for seven new guides, had a Hallo- ween party with the Robson Guide Company, made lots of ‘crafts for the sale in November ‘and had a swimming party.

We are at present working extremely hard ona St, John's Ambulance Emergency First Aid Course in conjunction with the Robson Guides.

The other week, six of the guides and myself enjoyed a snowshoe hike to the Ecology Centre. We weren't able to spot any cougars but we did meet a

‘group of Kinnaird Scouts, : Feb. 14 was the annual ‘Parent-Daughter Banquet with the 2nd Castlegar Brownie ,Pack. This was held at the :Legion Hall and we all enjoyed ta tremendous variety of dishes ‘prepared by the mothers.

Mrs, Dolly Jackson was our hostess and our guest speaker was Mrs, F. Martinelli. Her talk was both informative and entertaining, A number of guides were presented with badges that they had earned during the year,

The highlight of this occa- sion was the Brownie Fly-Up . Ceremony. Tho 1st Castlegar © Guide Company welcomes Ja- nine Carpino and Dannolle Jackson to the company, Lori Bird, Brown Owl, was ‘not able to attend due to illness, Tawny

You cannot imagine how choked up I got this week when, through the mail came “THE NOTHING CARD.” It's put out by a company in Loveland, Colo., and is touted as “the card to end all credit cards."

The NOTHING CARD looks like your basic credit card only it is stamped with a picture of Millard Fillmore who stood for nothing, did nothing and actually ran on the Know- Nothing ticket in 1850.

Frankly, I regard the NO- THING CARD as a way out of the economic pits. The card buys nothing. Therefore, you owe nothing at'the end of the |

It'll take a little getting-

_ used to — not paying for food

that you ate 30 days ago or going now and paying now — but the rewards are worth noting. Once North Americans put aside as much as they want

to spend and pay in cash, prices will go down, business will give you the money instead of the

the brochure, “People will buy fewer lamps with hula dancer bases.”

Unused Medications Pose Poisoning Risk

Prescription drugs that had been in homes for as long as 28 years — a potentially dan- gerous situation — weré turned in for destruction as a result of last. .; fall's. Spoison prevention. campaign. Hive

Health Minister Bob Me- Clelland said “Poison Preven- - tion Program °78" did not yield as many old prescriptions as he would have liked. But he added: “We made a start in warning the public of the risks of keeping old unised medications in their homes.”

Organized by the College of Pharmacists in co-operation with the B.C. Drug and Poison Information Centre and the ministry of health, the cam- paign was assisted by about 400

Connie Morris and Past Grand Chief Laura Dewis.

Presented with a gift was D.D.G.C. Ellie Maitland who, after a few brief comments, read a beautiful poem entitled “Friendship”, her theme for the upcoming district convention on April 28 in Rossland.

Approximately 40 mem- bers and guests were in atten-

ghout the pro- vince. People were invited to return their old prescriptions, and leave them in cannisters in which they were incinerated, As an additional incentive, the campaign included a draw on a Mexican holiday for two. Many people deposited un- wanted prescriptions in the special containers without iden-

dance. During the hour, a suitably-decorated cake was cut by Mrs. Maitland.

What do accountants want with an open house? The CGA’s have an education program that has been developed in co- operation with the University of British Columbia. The pro- gram is designed for men and women who are interested in the field of financial manage- . ment and in obtaining a pro- fessional designation.

The Open House will be of interest to:

1. Students in high school, college or university.

2. Men and women cur- rently employed aid looking for something new that will not require an adjustment in their standard of living. CGA stu- dents are working’ in account- ing/financial or related: posi- tions while on COUrsest-s
