The primary purpose of such a committee is to establish another means of communi ca-| tion between the community and the school. Schreiber High School is attempting to have such a committee formed. This committee will be comprised of: - three Schreiber High School students; three adults not dir- ectly involved in formel education and three teachers. Volunteers are sought in each of the categories. It is anticipated that the members will discuss educational matters collect opinions from individuals and groups in the community and meke pertinent recommendations. Readers from Rossport, Terrace Bey and Schreiber are urged to volunteer for service on this committee. You may indicate your willingness to serve by telephoning 82U-2555 and submitting your name.

Speaking of Polar Bears some were roaming around about: f miles from the camp and I sure didn't want one of those fy. critters for a tent mate. i Camp soon wes a beehive of activity since on September the Queen would of ficielly open the camp. On'the day it we. to open everybody dressed in their best and waited for the Queen to arrive hy cavalcade. She made a short speech and trumpeters played and the flags went up the masts snd the Jamboree was open. The Royal Family was dressed in white and blue, the arctic colors. As they walked through the camp they talked to as many of the boys as possible On our tour of Churchill the patrol I was in went to For Prince of Wales and as we were going across the straight we saw a school of White Whales, strong and free. At Fort Prince of Whales I saw & 6 ton cannon which could shoot 5 lbs. of shot 2,000 feet. When we got back to camp we ate and went to bed since we were to leave at eight the nex morning.
