Con- gratulations were extended to Mrs. Todesco who had been reappointed as 2nd vice president and Mrs. Clemens as Convener of Education and Cul- tural Affairs of the North District.

Battle Island was named after a battle between warring Indian tribes and the first light house was built on Lamb Island. Slate Island is named after the type of slate in its structure.

WOMAN COMMANDEI: Schreiber believes it may have a first in Canada - when Mrs. Marjory Spacek was appointed Commander of the Nipigon North- shore Power Squadron, being installed by Jim Kearn, District Secretary of Winnipeg Until three years ago, women could only aid be associate members - now they can hold executive positions. Mrs. Spacek, wife of Schreiber's doctor, is a native of Bathurst, N.B. and would naturally be assumed, her love of the water, was part of younger years but, no. Her interest in boating began after her marriage to a 'land-lubber' Dr. Spacek being a native of Prague, Czechoslovakia. But, somehow, inbred in the doctor, was a love of the sea, the open water and space, un~- crowded, in forest and woods. And when he mov- ed to Schreiber, the dream came true. Companions to sail with, countless lakes to paddle on, old trails of historic interest to find and portage, old landmarks to locate, at one's own time and one's own pace. Finding the Power Squadron already organiz- ed was an unexpected bonus, much appreciated and enjoyed. Dr. and Mrs. Spacek have two sons, Peter, the older interested in a degree in Forestry, and Ricky in high school, the better known since he has appeared on the Reach for the Top program on T.V. and both enjoying the lure of the bush, the paddle and a sail.
