Stampeders Succeed On Twelfth Attempt
On the 12th and final meeting of -the season between W i l liams Lake Stampeders and Quesnel Kangaroos, the Lake Town squad finally broke the jinx.
With a three goal effort, Paul Popowich led his team to a 10-4 victory over the Kangaroos. Norm Kjemhus turned In a fine performance for the 'Roos, scoring two, but it wasn't enough.
In 12 games with the Stamps, the Kangaroos have won 10, lost one, and tied one. A l l was not bright in the record books for the local squad, however, as they wrapped up regular season play In W i l liams Lake last night. In their last three games o:f the

Quesnel's average accident rate was only 10.3 per million man hours worked, compared with Burns Lake, next best, with 22.3 accidents per m i l lion man hours.
Third best was Vanderhoof with 24.0.
Q u e s n e l ' s r a t e dropped drastically in 1965 from the 57.3 frequency rate for every million man hours worked established in 1964.
In terms of actual lost time accidents, Quesnel's level fell from 10 In 1964 to only two. Involving 120 men, last year.
Quesnel's 10.3 rate compared with a total Region Four rate of 44.9.
Worst record of the nine district area, which Includes Smithers, Terrace, Dawson Creek, Prince Rupert, Fort St. John, and Prince George, was Prince George with a 60.6 average rate.

Council to Probe Snow Removal
Snow removal for the month of January amounted to $10, 500, It was reported at council Monday.
City o f f i c i a l s are taking a look at the snow removal problem facing them in Quesnel and have decided to send a delegation to Dawson Creek for a s t u d y of the method adopted by that city.
A study win be made comparing time and expense in volved between a snow blower loading directly onto the truck, and the present method in use in Quesnel of a front end loader.
It was reported at council that the method of using a snow blower was faster than that of the front end loader but the expense Involved was In question.
Water Dept .Ge ls
M a y o r a l P ra ise Mayor Alex Fraser has ex
pressed his appreciation for the fast work doneby the Water Resources Dept. on compiling a preliminary report onQues-nel River erosion problems.
A total estimate of$155,600 was presented with the report made up by A . F . Paget and his engineering staff. This amount covers three major trouble areas on the river bank that are posing the greatest prob-
It is estimated that 19 acres have been lost since 1881.
Twenty-five percent of the t o t a l expenditures for this undertaking must be carried by the city. When this work is completed, the city wi l l be responsible for maintenance work at the sites of repair.
It Is expected some work wil l be undertaken in 1966.
Boundaries Plan Clearer Quesnel, 100-Mlle House, and Kamloops: Williams Lake,
Powell River, and Queen Charlotte Islands: Prince George, Dawson Creek, and Fort Nelson.
These are some of the unusual combinations arrived at by the Boundaries Commission for Bri t ish Columbia, which has just presented its report on the proposed redistribution of electoral ridings.
The commission set out to divide B .C . ' s total population of 1,629,082 Into equal constituencies, each one to send a representative to parliament.
The committee calculated that 23 ridings would be needed and so divided the province Into population pockets of 70, 830 each.
B . C . presently has 22 ridings. The new boundaries, if passed by Ottawa, w i l l take effect
at the next national election. Protests are already being mounted (Cariboo Observer,
Jan. 27 page 1), in which M r . Bert Leboe, Social Credit, Cariboo, is playing a prominent part.
Although split from some of Its traditional neighbors such as Prince George and Williams Lake, Quesnel, to become part of Kamloops-Cariboo riding, has been saved the in convenience of being in two ridings, as was suggested in an earlier proposal which made the Fraser River the western boundary.
Now, the boundary has been shifted 63 miles further west and now includes a l l of Quesnel and most of its westerly neighbors.
To the north, the boundary also has been extended to bring Hixon in the Kamloops-Cariboo riding, where before it came in the Prince George-Peace River riding.
Commenting on the boundary changes, after being shown the map of the new constituencies by the Observer, Mayor Alex Fraser said;
"Our position was first put at a hearing we attended in Kamloops in the middle of 1965 at which we conducted a watching brief. Then we filed our official brief to the Prince George hearing in September at which we made certain proposals.
"While a l l our points have not been met, two-thirds of them have, and I am particularly happy to see that a l l trading points In the west wi l l now be voting with us.
" I , personally, see nothing wrong in being associated with Kamloops, After a l l Quesnel wi l l be the second largest polling centre in the Cariboo-Kamloops riding.
" I think we shall be better off under this set-up than under the o ld . "
Referring to any changes which might come in the next national election as the result of the boundaries shake-up, Mayor Fraser said:
" I f this means our returning Davie Fulton to parliament I don't see anything particularly bad in that. After a l l what's wrong in having the future prime minister of your country as your local representative."
A complete map of the new boundaries distribution is re-pr iuced on page two of this section.
Weldwood of Canada Ltd. successfully appealed in the Court of Revision yesterday against a $250 an acre assessment for 1966 made on the 298 acres it owns north of the town. The court ruled that the assessment should be reduced to $200 an acre.
In another case, on behalf of Carson Estates, the Court ruled that certain property in an adjacent area to the Weldwood l a n d should be considered f a r m l a n d , and requested the assessor to reassess it at the lower farm levels.
Presenting the case on behalf of Weldwood, Mr . T .P . Fee, the company's assistant-secretary, said that last year the 298 acres were assessed at a value of $1,870, and this year valued at $74,500, which is at a flat rate of $500 an acre. Last year the assessment was in the region of $60 an acre. ,
"The only c h a n g e in the property," M r . Fee said " i s that it has a new owner and a new purchase price."
Arbitrary "The assessor in this case
took 50 per cent of the market value and used this as his assessment.
"I submit that merely taking 50 per cent of the purchase price is arbitrary and discriminating, and not good assessment practice. It overlooks the physical characteristics of the p r o p e r t y , and where a large parcel is in volved there are bound to be variations in geography."
M r . Fee then Invited the assessor, M r . J . Nei l l , topro-duce evidence "to support his contention that 50 per cent of the purchase price i s a proper assessment."
M r . Nei l l produced many instances of valuations of a similar natiu-e on other property In the district.
Mr . Nei l l also mentioned that the Weldwood property now under appeal had many
other advantages like roads, piped gas close by, fire protection and schools.
Mr . Fee said that other properties in the locality of an exactly similar nature, were assessed at rates less than $250 an acre, and gave as an example the Carson Estates property, which he said "was immediately across the road from us to the south, while ours is to the north."
Mr . M . Findlay, solicitor for the town, said that in arriving at his assessment, the assessor takes into account evidence of recent sales of land in the area.
"And the onus of proof when appealing is on the appellant to show there has been some error of assessment. The burden of proof in al l cases is on the party appealing."
Mr. Fee countered by saying that the land is completely unimproved, and the assessment should bear some relation to other property in the locality.
M r . Findlay said the fact that the land is not being used

School Budget Leaps Over 19%; Record Estimate of $1,961,268
The Board of School Trustees unanimously voted a 19-3/4 per cent increase in expenditure for 1966 at its regular monthly m e e t i n g last Thursday.
Budgeted estimates are up from $1,652,126 in 1965, to $1,961,268 for the c o m i n g year. Actual expenditure last year exceeded the estimates by only $7,046.
In presenting the budget for 1966 M r . B . G . H i r s t , Secretary-Treasurer, s a i d there would be a nine or 10 per cent Increase in students this year.
"And as the number of stu
dents increase, so of course the figures go up," M r . Hirst explained.
He added that the increased estimates not only took account of the increase In students but also had to bear In mind higher salaries and the fact of salary negotiations.
At the same time, he said, the sharp increase in estimates for teaching supplies, which are up from $51,787 in 1965 to $62,650 this coming year, were to account for the Introduction of libraries In elementary s c h o o l s , something which was not Included in last year's budget.
Estimates for individual accounts, with 1965 estimates and actual spending brackets, are:
A D M I N I S T R A T I O N A C COUNT, covering salaries of administration s t a f f , office expenses: $97,850 (1965 estimate, $75,578 - $72,085 actual).
INSTRUCTION ACCOUNT, including teachers' salaries, school c l e r i c a l salaries, teaching supplies, and other instructional e x p e n s e s : $1, 061,052 (1965, $924,584 -$927,473),

By KATE ANDRADE Observer Staff Reporter Do you have snow prob
lems? 1 thought I had them, to<.
until 1 spent an afternoon with Lloyd Parker, grader operator, of the works department.
Then, I found, at first hand, some of the king-size snow problems he had to deal with each day.
I must admit that when I was invited to see what life is like from the Inside of one of these 13-ton monsters, who spend their days grinding away keeping Quesnel's roads open, I felt like an astronaut entering a space capsule.
My body just isn't built to cope with 11 levers, three pedals, a steering wheel, and keep my eyes on the road at the same time.
I noticed no speedometer, but when plowing at only 10 m.p.h. one is not needed.
My stomach was as wobbly as the wheels as we leaned at scary angles to turn corners. And my arm was a continual ache from pushing tlie levers to control the roaring beast.
I concluded that the o.aly nice REPORTER K A T E ANDRADE
. . . operates the grader
thing about being a g i r l grader-operator is the fact that I was warm, while outside it was freezing, and the men were so nice to me.
Lloyd, of c o u r s e , copes much better, and though he's not an octoi)us seems able to handle the machine with uncanny ease.
But he too has his problems. And who wouldn't have, working 14 hours a day keeping 47 miles of town streets clean for people like me.
Lloyd has a few special words ( not suitable for the columns of tlie Observer ) for folk who park their cars on the streets while he's trying to plow.
His head, too. seems to have been put on at a special angle to help lilm negotiate the blade round corners.
And problems such as plowing intersections and knowing where, or where not, to put the snow seems l.o worry him not one whit, nor how to avoid sewer man-holes and water shut-offs.
A l l t h e s e intricacies he seemed to take in his stride while at the same time explain his job to an inquisitive
f e m a l e reporter. And stil l smile!
What are his wife's thoughts on Lloyd's job?
Naturally, the same as any woman's would be if her husband worked a 14-hour day, leaving home at 8 a.m. and usually not getting home again until midnight, with only a break for dinner.
But this is a ma., size job which has to be tackled In a man sized way. And to find out more details of how the whole operation Is co-ordinated 1 went along to the Town Hall and talked with Art Mickey, Quesnel's superintendent of the Work's D e p a r t m e n t whose generalship Is responsible for seeing a machine is in the right spot at the right time.
As soon as Art began talking I realized how much we take for granted. Facts and figures rolled off Art 's tongue in a bewilderment of details.
For instance, the whole tremendous job is tackled by 11 men operating six pieces of equipment: three trucks, one cub tractor for clearing side-

" Q u e s n e l Historical Society is depleted in it 's membership", said M r . Dave Smith at town council Monday.
He also stated that management and c o n t r o l of the museum must pass more and more into the hands of coun-c l . Insufficient personnel and lack of membership have put too much load on the remaining members of the society.
Mrs . Creighton Rines told council that the Historical Society would be holding a membership drive in the spring. She also said that the open season of the museum was too short and suggested that the season be extended. She reported that the society was gratified to see so many local citizens v i s i t i n g their museum.
M r s . Rlnes brought three suggestions to council regarding the operation and maintenance of the museum building. She suggested that the heating and lighting could be Improved In the building.
She also Informed the counc i l that an outside showplace,' .vhere larger museum pieces could be displayed, would be desirable.
Mayor Alex F r a s e r and Alderman Ceal Tlngley expressed their admiration for the work done by the society in the management of the museum.
Council was pleasantly surprised when M r . Len Rolph presented Mayor Alex Fraser with a cheque for $1,000 on behalf of the Historical Society.
Proceeds from several projects undertaken by the.soclety during the past year made the p r e s e n t a t i o n ofthe cheque possible.
The M a y o r expressed appreciation for the cheque and also congratulated the members on their fine performance for the past year.
School Budget Goes ToCouncil
School Board officials presented their budget (see this page) to town council Monday night.
M r . B i l l Hirst explained that an enrollment Increase of 9 per cent made It necessary to Increase staff and services. He stated that, next year, another considerable Increase would be probable.
The additional sum of $17, 000 was Included In the budget created by the employer contributions to Canada Pension Plan,,
M r , Hirst also stated that the sum of $302,090 was "quite an Increase" over that of last year.
The current year's mi l l rate for e d u c a t i o n has been estimated at- 38 mil ls , against 34 mills for 1965, but council said they had been informed by the education board that the 1966 rate could go even higher.

up the entire clearing opera-
walks, one grader, and one trojan snow scoop.
The council are justifiably proud of the trojan snow scoop which has done much to speed
tion. Hardly a womanly t o p i c ,
perhaps, but even I can become Impressed by this $1, 200 monster bucket w h i c h scoops up enough snow in only two operations to f i l l a five-ton truck. The old scoop, which was replaced, had to make five separate assaults on It.
o f f t h e r e c o r d THE PONY E X P R E S S
was never like this. . . C . E . Schmidt of Quesnel passes on the following unusual tale. In December of 1964, a Christmas present was put on a bus in New Westminster, bound for M r . Schmidt and his family in Quesnel. Two weeks before Christmas 1965, he got a call from the bus depot. Sure e n o u g h It was the missing present, i n t a c t , and exactly one year late.
* * * M I F F E D MUTT. . .one
member of the local canine population last week took offense to a front end loader removing snow in the vicinity of his favorite fire h y d r a n t . Accordingly he stood beside the machine and yapped incessantly at the operator. Finally the driver had had enough, and scooping the dog up In his bucket, placed him atop a snow bank. One more scoop and the dog was buried in
snow. By the time he managed to dig himself out, he realized that front end loaders were not to be trifled with.
* * * CONGRATULATIONS to
Mayor Alex Fraser who, we hear, has been honored with an Invitation f r o m Lieutenant-Governor General George R. Pearkes, V . C , to attend a Government House reception in Victor ia on A p r i l 27.

least If you b e l i e v e ground hogs . Yesterday was Ground Hog Day. He came out of his hole in the ground, looked around for his shadow, and couldn't see it. As the legend goes this act Is significant in that it heralds the end of winter. If he had seen seen his shadow, it would have meant six more weeks of winter.

When clearing your front path, or sidewalk, you must often wcHider where to put the
I snow. Consider Ar t ' s problem of knowing where to put hundreds of tons of the stuff.
So far there tiave been few problems, but it could present quite a headache. Favorite spots chosen are empty lots close to storm drains and down by the r iver .
Even a decision as seemingly simple as this has to fit in with the rest of the operation. If the right dumping spot isn't used at the right time it could affect the efficiency and economy of the whole job.
With this in mind A r t stresses It i s important that the versatility of the snow crews i s such that they are able to swap from one machine to another and retain the utmost efficiency.
The police, of course, fit in with this whole operation. If more than six inches of snow falls during the night , they merely c o n t a c t Lloyd Phoenix, foreman of works, who then gets his battle crews swinging into action.
It may surprise you, it certainly did me, to know that Quesnel has $93,500 worth of equipment working constantly to keep our town snow clear. And that on an average 14-hour working day the total cost rockets to $ 1,673.
I dislike paying taxes like everyone else, but whenever I s t a r t complaining about costs, and then realize that in this sub-zero winter I can s t i l l walk and drive easily around the town, I wi l l say a big Thank-you to Ar t Mickey, Lloyd Parker and men like them.

should not detract from its value and the assessment has been made on that basis.
After f u r t h e r discussion along these lines the coiu:t adjourned to inspect the property and returned the decision to reduce the assessment from $250 an acre to $200.
T a l k i n g to the Observer after the court's decision, M r . Fee said:
"I w i l l have to consider this very carefully. But I am particularly happy that the court has seen fit to bring our assessment more into line with those p r o p e r t l e s adjoining us."
In the second case, for Car son Estates, Involving five different lots, M r . Peter Gook said that one parcel of 11.98 acres, which i s assessed at $80.40 an acre, is 80 per cent imder water - - through flooding from Dragon Creek.
"The o t h e r four lots assessed at $200 an acre are farmland," he said, "areused as such, and should be assessed as such."
"The smaller lot ," he said, "was purchased from Carson Farm, but this does not alter the situation as regards its use. It has always been used as farmland until it was flooded."
Basis "We take hay off of it when
ever p o s s i b l e , and though there is a foot of ice on it now.
and often eight to 14 inches of water, this is the basis upon which we are appealing this.
C o n s i d e r a b l e time was taken in discussing the reassessment problems involved, and M r . Nei l l said that these particular parcels of land got the same treatment as the rest of the town.
M r . Gook said that a l l the land involved is contiguous parcels and not property picked up or accumulated f r o m time to time.
"And from the time we purchased these lots they have been farm property and always used as farm property and should be assessed at the lower rate. Approximately 30 per cent of the land under appeal is under cultivation, with is a very high percentage."
M r . Gook said about 5,000 bales of hay were taken off the land each year, which represented 100 per cent of the Income from the land.
After an extensive question and answer session between M r . Findlay and Mr . Gook the court adjourned to inspect the land.
On tlieir return Chaiiman M r . E , Sargent, declared:
"We are convinced that this is being used for farm land. While we are not prepared to give its ralue in farm land we ask our assessor to get the land reassessed for us as farm land, and return with the reassessment on T h u r s d a y next week."

"Bu t , " he added, "do not be satisfied with this. There are other regions where the rate Is down to five, so there is s t i l l a lot of work to do."
Presentation packs of playing cards were also given to members of Quesnel's Highways Dept., who have outstanding sajfety records. They were:
Pat Huston, Soda Creek, 11 years without an accident, and Stanley Harford, Cariboo Highway, 10-1/2 years acc i dent free.
Bert Langley, with 17 accident-free years, was unable to attend.

Poor Turnout Kills Meeting The January meeting of the
4-H leader's council, called for Jan. 17, at 8:00 p.m. at Quesnel Secondary School, had to be cancelled because of an extremely poor turnout. Three 4-H Club Leaders, the Secre t a ry -Treasu re r , and M r . Ted Cornwall representing the D e p a r t m e n t of Agriculture were the only persons who turned up.
There are nine clubs in the area and most of them should have leaders as well as assistant leaders. This makes a
p o s s i b l e total of eighteen members who could attend monthly meetings.
M r . C o r n w a . l l announced that the annual local workshop for, l e -aders and interested parties is to be held in Ques^ nel on Feb. 18 and 19.
With this in mind those present on Jan. 17 decided to cal l the next meeting for Feb. 7 at the usual time and place. This wil l be the annual meeting, but the main topic is to be: Preparation of Plans, Ideas and Requests or Demands for the Workshop.

The Encore Club, which has as its editor Dennis Keis, is now preparing to solicite advertising to help in the cost of its yearbook. The school attendance is approximately 680, so any advertising in the year book reaches many students and parents.
A new club has been formed in the school; the Newspaper now has some 22 members . M r . Crlpps is the s p o n s o r . Working w i t h him are Anne Patenaude a s e d i t o r . Fr i t s L a n g e l e r as assistant e d i t o r , Marjorie McLeod as new editor and Dave Weins as sports editor. Editions wil l come out each Tuesday with the first edition Feb. 8.
Williams Lake is the scene of this Friday's league game when the Lakers and Lakettes host our Spartans and Spartanettes. A spectator bus is also expected to travel. Cost per person is $1.50 instead of $1.00. The price has been boosted because the F r i d a y soc-hops, the admission of which supplements the cost of a bus and driver, are not making as much as is required.
Next weekend the Williams
Lake teams wi l l visit our gym for the last regular league game of our senior teams.
Tuesday the Student Counc i l voted to dissolve its actvi-ty committees, b e c a u s e of lack of support from those members outside of council.
Also on Tuesday, the Athletic Council received permission toholda'<HardTimes Dance" on March 3.
There are only nine more days t i l l the "Blue and Gcdd B a l l " .

Coach
B i l l R a m s d e n taiks With
Bob Leamen
(Observer Sports Editor Bob Leamen cornered Kangaroo Coach B i l l Ramsden at the Quesnel Civic Arena this week, and extracted from him the following pearls of wisdom.)
CHL Offers Biggest Challenge Leamen: What do you think of your club's chances of latching
onto a Coy Cup? Ramsc ^n: Good. The boys' biggest challenge wi l l come right
from their own league. Leamen: How do you predict they'll make out? Ramsden: The biggest problem. Bob. w i l l l>e getting them up
for the games. Prince George wil l probably be the team we meet first, and we have to realize that they wi l l be tough. Prince George wi l l loe a different team in the play offs. They wi l l work at it. If we want to win, we ' l l have to work at it too.
Leamen: How do you see the Vanderhoof-Williams Lake ' series? J Ramsden: Vanderhoof four straight. I can't see Williams : Lake winning one.
Leamen: What about when, and if, Vanderhoof and Quesnel ; meet in the final?
Ramsden: They wi l l be tough. They're always tough. I think, however, our squad is better balanced. We are also a little stronger defensively. With the Kangaroos it isn't a matter of
i the opposition stopping one man. Weliavefour or five real good ,;«goal scorers that can k i l l you at anytime. We C A N win. Again, ; we wi l l have the problem of getting up for the games.
Kangaroos Coy Gup Hungry Ramsden: The boys have finished first for three years in a
row, and st i l l no Coy Cup. This Is in our favor. They're hungry. They want the big win for themselves, and for their fans.
Leamen: What's worrying you most, Wil l ie . Ramsden: Our biggest weakness Is our lack of ability to get
concentrated effort from every member of the team, every minute, of every game. This we must do in the play offs. We can't let up for a minute. Man for man we're as good as any team in the league. It's a matter of every man putting out to the best of his ability.
Leamen: happy.
Let 's change the subject. B i l l . What makes you
Roos Pack Scoring Punch Ramsden Our greatest strength is scoring power. Our for
ward lines yare working well and we even have defensemen that are capable of scoring goals.
Leamen: How about the performance of the FoUack-Kjemhus Gagnon line?
Ramsden: They're producing real well. They're our big production line. I'm especiallyliai^ywithNorm KJemhus. He never played the center slot before this season, and has fitted in perfectly. The line of Johnston, Helzel, and L a Fond has also been working well. They haven't been scoring that many goals, but they have been having darn few scored against them. Every member of that line gives 100 per cent every time out, and it pays. They really work.
Leamen: What about the Walker-Greyeyes-Readmanline? Ramsden: I'm looking for big things from that trio in the play
offs. I expect Walker to come through in a large way. He has the ability to produce when iiie ciiips are down, and I predict that's just wliat he ' l l do. Lookfor Greyeyes to come iiurough too. He had a fantastic start this season. He went into a l>ad slump after he picked up a couple of injuries. He's coming out of that slump now, and getting over those injuries. His wrist was giving him a lot of trouble, but he's over that now, and getting his shot back. Herb could very well be the boy that wi l l lead us through the play offs.
Defense Strong
E A R L OLSEN (12) attempts to check the driving action on the part of Prince George Teacher's B i l l Farquhar as he drops in two to start the stampede that overran Quesnel Motors when the two teams clashed for their final game of the season Sunday afternoon at Q.S.S. Gym.
Leamen: How is the defense shaping up? Ramsden: St i l l no complaints. Bob. Wil l i s wi l l be a big help.
What we needed was a policeman out there, to keep opposition forwards honest. Wil l is is just that.
Leamen: Thought you already had one back on the point. Ramsden: Quite. Duncan lias played well a l l season. I'm
pleased with the way the defense has come along. Particularly Duncan and J im Steven.
Leamen: You have a new goal tender in camp. Ramsden: True. Jack Barton is comforting to have around.
Leo is the type of goal tender that rises to the occasion. We can count on him in the playoffs. But anyone can have a bad night. Both goalies w i l l be dressed for a l l games. If one of them is off, the other can go in.
Leamen: I notice you've been burning up the ice a bit yourself lately.
Ramsden: Regulations are tliat a player has to dress for
(our regular season games in order to be eligible for action in the playoffs. I thought I might as well get the games in, just in case some of the boys pick up injuries.
Leamen: The Gods have been good to you in the mjury department this year.
Ramsden: They have that. We've had several minor mjuries but have fortunately avoided anything serious. I'm qualifying myself as a form of Insurance. I don't expect to play much. But let's hope we can stay away from those injuries. They can k i l l you in the playoffs.
Power Play Needs Work Leamen: What are you concentrating on in practice these
days? Ramsden: We have been working a lot on our power play.
In our last hour-and-a-half practice session we worked an hour on power play alone.
Leamen: Why isn't it working? Ramsden: We're working hard on it to find out. Leamen: Who w i l l be comprising it? Ramsden: Wil l is and Greyeyes wi l l be on defense, with Kjem
hus, Gagnon, and either Johnston or Follack up front. The power play seems to lack something. I used Johnston of left wing two weeks ago on the power play, and they scored four goals in one game from the combination. I don't know if the goals were the result of the switch or not. It doesn't maJce sense, when FoUack-Kjemhus-Gagnon produce so well on their regular shift. We ' l l Just liave to work on it some more.
Leamen: What else wi l l you he working on? Ramsden: Our defensive work is a little sloppy when the puck
i s in our own zone. That we have to put an end to.
Powell River Tough Leamen: If you get past the Carilxx) Hockey League, who do
you figure wi l l be your biggest threat? Ramsden: Powell River of the Pacific Coast League is re
ported to be a power. The winner of the Okanagan League could be tough, and we have to get past them before we have the opportunity to worry about Powell River .
Leamen: Rumor has it that Smithers wants to get into Coy Cup actimi. Who would they play?
Ramsden: If they were allowed in, they would be playing the winners of the Cariboo Hockey League.
Leamen: Wil l they be allowed in? Ramsden: It's doubtful, but possible. The decision is up to
the B.C.A.H.A. Leamen: When the dust clears the Coy Cup champions wi l l
take on the winners from Alberta, right? Ramsden: Right. In Bri t ish Columbia. Leamen: Who's the power in Alberta? Ramsden: Whoever represents Alberta wi l l be strong. A l
berta's probable representatives w i l l be from the Central Alberta League - either Red Deer. Drumhiller, or Lacombe.
Leamen: That wi l l take care of the Western division. Who wi l l take the marbles from Saskatchewan and Manitoba?
Ramsden: The F l in Flon Warriors are reported to be tough. The Finnish Nationals played them after they played us, and beat them comfortably. They can't be that much out of our league.
OverconHdence The Enemy Leamen: What changes, if any, do you have In mind for
the playoffs? Ramsden: None in particular. We wi l l bfe working on the
points I mentioned. Our biggest problem wi l l be overconfldence. We've been pretty successful a l l year, and that's the trouble. It's going to be hard to get the l)oys up. It's going to be tough in the playoffs and they have to get used to that idea. Four bad games in a seven game series, and you're dead. I could do without that.
Leamen: Any predictions on the Prince George series? Ramsden: If the boys get up for it, I'm optimistic. Leamen: Thanks for your trouble. B i l l , and the information. Ramsden: Of course you realize that everything I said Is
strictly off the record. Leamen: Of course.

P.G. Teachers Teach Quesnel Women's Basketball Sunday
The one exclusive sign of a thorough knowledge is the power of teaching."
These s a g a c i o u s words were uttered by the Greek philosopher Aristotle, many centuries ago. Apparently the statement s t i l l holds true today.
Prince G e o r g e Teachers came back in the second half of play in men's basketball Sunday afternoon to down the Quesnel Motors squad 62-49.
Local boys led the visitors at the half time with a strong offensive pattern and good rebounding a c t i o n on the defensive end.'
Quesnel M o t o r s held the lead at the half time horn, but after the rest, the Motors were slow getting back into
stride and Teachers started popping in the shots to pass the Motors and leap into the lead.
T e a c h e r s o u t s h o t the Motors 20-8 in the third quarter.
In the final quarter of play. Motors began to find their legs again but the lead held by Teachers proved too ^Ylde and the locals failed to close the gap.
One Prince George player was fouled' out of the game at the start of the third quarter, but was allowed to continue to play.
Teachers were forced to play the game with only five available players.
Individual scores for the victors were: Brian Fishwick 19, J im Mi l l e r 16, Malcolm
Mitchen 14, A l Fabro 11, and B i l l Farquhar 2.
Scoring for Quesnel Motors
were: Jack Barney 15, Don Prentice 11, Ea r l Olsen 7, Gerry Urquhart 7,DaIeEthier 5, and G i l Dagneau 2.
Cariboo High School Gym wi l l be the scene of Senior Women's basketball at 2:30 on Sunday.
Quesnel C a m a y s wi l l be
hosting a team from Prince George. This encounter wiU be Camays sixth encounter of the season. They are presently enjoying a 4-1 win-loss record.
mfmi^mm&mmsi^m?^ With CHL playoffs on the horizon, coffee shop talk has,
quite naturally, been devoted almost entirely to the subject of hockey.
With the subject being talked up, the incidence of rumors, idle and otherwise, is on the upswing.
Rumors concerning strife among teams in the C H L , rumours concerning teams and leagues in the running for the Coy Cup, rumors concerning Kangaroo personnel changes, etc., abound. It gets so bad that you can only believe what you read, (plug)
The study of rumors i s fascinating. It seems that barber shops are the perpetrators of many gems of gossip. The following is a classic example.
Last season, C a r l Brewer of the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs decided to hang up the blades, and return to the teaching profession.
Kangaroo trainer Kadi Koyama, by way of an experiment in the way of human nature, dropped in at his favorite barber shop and planted the seed of a dandy rumor.
He said simply: "Sure is a lucky break for the Kangaroos - Brewer getting a teaching job in Quesnel."
That's a l l it took. Within hours the town was buzzing about the new find.
T ry it yourself. It could l)ecome a fascinating new game. Start a rumor, and see how long it takes to get back to you. It might also be interesting to note how much it has grown in proportion from the time you started it.
I hear the Victoria Academy Gi r l ' s Fie ld Hockey team is trying to lure Frank Ketter away from the Kangaroos.
* * * The following is fact, not rumor. It has been settled that C H L semi fmals wi l l be best-
of-seven affairs. The matter was in question for some time, l)ecause of the possible conflict between C H L playoffs, and Coy Cup play. It seems, however, that most of the clubs felt that they couldn't afford t^e loss of gate that would result from the series being chopped down to l>est-of~five affairs.
Playoff action wi l l get under way on February 12. The third place club wi l l travel to the home ice of the first place club, for two weekend games. The fourth place club wil l travel to the home ice of the second place club for similar action.
On the next weekend, the process is reversed in each series.
After the second weekend of action in the semi-finals, §: there wi l l have been four games played in both series.
If more games are necessary. League executive wi l l have to come to a decision as to whether or not Wednes-
>| day games wil l be included in the play off schedule, •ij This may be necessary in order that the C H L can de-|ij Clare a final winner before Coy Cup action commences. S The big day is March 17.

Kangaroos Drop A Pair
With a l l the Indications of a hot summer before us, the l)eaches wi l l be stormedby swimmers and non-swlmiaers alike. There wi l l be the youngsters who would play frogman and make use of the familiar mask and flippers that
' are becoming more and more popular with beach-loving boys.
How many of your sons wil l go into the water for the first time and try out these exciting inventions? How many of those who do wi l l get themselves into serious trouble and perhaps drown because of the dangers of which they have not been old? ' Underwater fun is generally split into two categories:
skin & scuba diving. Among experienced divers, there is keen competition between the two groups.
Fi rs t , let us deal with Skin diving. Although skin and scuba diving are both classified as skin diving, the "snorkelers" proudly claim they are the true skin divers and that the other form of diving is Scuba diving.
The equipment that is required to skin dive; (without the use of air tanks) include, a mask, fins, and snorkel. If you are diving In cold weather or water, you wil l also need a protective suit. This can be either the dry or wet type, plus the added necessity of a weight l>elt.
The dangers involved In skin diving are not as numerous as those of scuba diving, but nonetheless can k i l l just as quickly.
Needless to say, in buying diving equipment, you only get what you pay for, as in a l l other purchases, where personal safety is concerned.
Probably the most important piece of equipment for the skin diver is the snorkel. There are three types on the market, the best, in my experience, is the flex-hose type. This snorkel wi l l not continually jab you in the chin if you happen to take it from your mouth. Another type i s the fixed curve snorkel which i s every bit as efficient but has the discomfort of being stiff and unyielding when removed from the mouth.
The third type is the fixed snorkel to mask variation. These are the most dangerous to the inexperienced diver. Anyone entering the sldn diving sport should not rely on these for maximum safety.
With a l l equipment ready, now is the time for anyone interested in diving to have a long involved talk with an experienced diver. He should go into the methods of hyperventilation, gulping, equalizing, and the main uses of the snorkel.
The word SCUBA simplymeans "self-co.-itainedunderwater breathing apparatus." This Involves the use of compressed air tanks, regulators, and weight belts along with the elementary tools of skin diving.
It is necessary for anyone wishing to scuba dive to be proficient at skin diving and the use of the snorkel. Personal experience has proven to mc that a snorkel can, and has been, the only factor responsible for saving the life of a scuba diver.
One of the dangers which must be guarded against is the moment when a diver is struck with "Rapture of the depths" (Nitrogen Narcosis). This is the result of too much nitrogen entering the blood stream and the affect on the diver is similar to that of alcohol.
The diver tends to become overly brave and wi l l do foolish things which wi l l endanger his life. Divers with one 72 cubic foot tank have been known to go past the safe depth, spit out their mouth piece, turn sommersaults, and chase fish simply to try to tlclde them.
This nitrogen narcosis usually affects the average person between the 85 to 125 foot levels. Until a diver is accustomed to his own depth of attack, he should be accompanied by a diver who is under control of himself and can watch for the danger signs to appear.
If, however, one has experienced this rapture, it is possible to control his actions and be conscious of what is happening.
By far the worst enemy of the diver Is PANIC. Good initial instruction on diving habits and a good
knowledge of your equipment wi l l build up confidence in a diver and this sport can be a lot of fun.
When a diver suddenly finds his hoses filled with water, he could panic and be killed. If he had good instruction, he would Imow that by turning onto his left side, the water would drain out of the exhaust hose and he would be able to get air .
There are many such circumstances that a diver can find himself in, and to overcome most of the dangers, one should not dive alone.
Even the most experienced divers find a "buddy" is most comforting while worldng or playing in the depths.
* * * NATURE'S SCRAPBOOK
That changing weather patterns can effect migratory bird routes Is Indicated in Game Dept. studies this year.
Sightings of Whistling swans found far from their usual routes were numerous allover the Lower Mainland during November, 1965. It has been suggested that weather patterns were more than ordinarily disturbed, resulting In the swans and other migratory birds alighting in a confused state in strange regions.
Referees To Travel In C.H.L. I It has been announced by
Cariboo Hockey League exe-> cutive that three officials wi l l ' be in charge of each CHL • playoff game. These wi l l in-; elude two linesmen and a re-* feree.
Refereeing the M o h a w k -'. Kangaroo games in Quesnel
: wi l l be Kelly from Williams : Lake. When these two clubs * play in Prince George, Woods
of Vanderhoof wi l l handle the * games.
Moffat from Quesnel wi l l work Bear-Stampeder games in W i l l i a m s Lake. Their games in Vanderhoof wi l l be handled by Stelega of Prince George.
This arrangement wi l l i n sure an independent referee in charge of each game. In each case, two llnesmon from the town in which the game is being played w i l l work the game with the out-of-town referee.
Over the Weekend Vanderhoof Bears and Prince George Mohawks engaged in a neck and neck battle for second place, at the expense of the Quesnel Kangaroos and W i l liams Lake Stampeders.
Vanderhoof defeated Stamps 12-1 on Saturday, and Quesnel 9-2 on Sunday. Prince George took the 'Roos 4-2, and defeated Williams Lake by the same score.
PRINCE GEORGE 4. QUESNEL 2
In Prince George Saturday, Quesnel opened the scoring at the 13:16 mark of the first frame, when Bob Walker took an assist from Herb Greyeyes and whipped one past 'Hawk netminder D o n W i l k i e . The period ended with the 'Roos enjoying a 1-0 a d v a n t a g e . Shots on goal for the first period were: by Quesnel 10, by Prince George 5,
Mohawk playing-coach W i l lie Schmidt tied it up for the Prince George squad when he
scored unassisted at the 10:30 mark of the second. Before the second s t a n z a ended, Greyeyes took back the lead for Quesnel. He was assisted on the play by Irv Follack.
The Kangaroos took their 2-1 lead into the third period, but it was short lived. Uhren, Schmidt, and Olineck, f ound the mark for the Mohawks in that order, while Don Wilkie blanked the 'Roos.
Shots on goal for the game were: by Quesnel 31, by Prince George 16.
VANDERHOOF 9 QUESNEL 2
LaFond struck with the first goal of the game in Vanderhoof on Sunday, on assists from Helzel and Greyeyes. Then Bears took over. Mitchell, Wall , and Finnie pounded in three for their squad before the whistle blew to end the first period.
It was al l Vanderhoof again in the second period. Kelly, Silver, Therrien, and Wall
racked up markers for the second place club. Len Fox turned away 13 shots in the Bear cage to keep the 'Roos off the scoreboard in that frame.
In the third, Kjemhus picked up one for the 'Roos, while Bears added two of their own to bring the total to 9-2.
Shots on goal: Vanderhoof 35, Quesnel 33.
Quesnel's biggest problem Sunday, was on the blue line. Due to a shortage of defense-men, Ramsden was forced to use Walker and Greyeyes on the point.
As a result of the weekend games, the race for second spot in the C H L stayed the same, with Vanderhoof two full games in front of third place Prince George.
Williams Lake Bowlers Strike
At Tourney Williams Lake D o w i e r s
dominated the action when six teams from Quesnel travelled to the Lake Town Sunday to compete In an i n v i t a t i o n a l bowling tournament.
The shield up for grabs went to Williams Lake bowlers who racked up an aggregate of 42, 245 points. Quesnel was close behind with 42,001.
Pat Burke rolled the ladies high single with 335, and the high six game total of 1,517.
Ken Parish rolled the Men's High Single of 341, and high six game total of 1,402.

Q.S.S. SPORTS
With Gary Graf and Dennis Keis Williams Lake Secondary School was the scene of
basketball action last weekend with 100 Mile House, Prince George, McBride, Williams Lake, Prince George College, and Quesnel teams participating. The Quesnel Spartans defeated the 100 Mile team but went down to an 83-51 defeat by Prince George and a disappointing 61-60 defeat by McBride. The Williams Lake Lakers were the successful team at the tournament's end.
In the gir ls ' game, the Quesnel Spartanettes defeated 100 MUe and Williams Lake girls but lost in a 23-22 match with prince George. The McBride girls were the tournament winners.
Three Quesnel players were appointed to the A l l -Star teams. They were Ricki-Ann Marsh for the gir ls and Wayne Cave and Reg Mastin for the boys.
Tomorrow evening both the Spartans and Spartanettes wi l l be travelling te Williams Lake for regular league games.
Last Wednesday, Jan. 26, a basketball game between the Intermediate boys teams of Quesnel and Caril)oo Secondary Schools was played in the Quesnel Secondary gym. The final score was Quesnel 36 and Cariboo 9 in a wide open game. The higti scorers for Quesnel were Bruce Cassidy and Mike O'Flynn with 8 points each.
Two Junior Basketball games were held in Quesnel last Friday evening with the Quesnel Junior teams and the Williams Lake Junior teams taking part. The final score In the girls game was Quesnel 27, Williams Lake 3 and the final score in the boys game was Williams Lake 33 and Quesnel 17.
House games met an end last week at the Athletic Council meeting. It was decided, because of lack of in terest, lack of support, and the large number of defaults that house games would be discontinued. Let 's hope that we get more support in track and field events than we did in basketbaU.
