At this very moment, ex- perts are selecting the most suitable prints and grooming the text, aim- ing for a release date of summer 1984. Hope- fully Lakehead Uni- versity will handle local distribution of this at- tractive book, a Bicen- tennial project of the Ministry of Northern Af- fairs. Now that the project is in production and out of my hands, I have time to share a few impressions gained during the tour. Although my _ tight schedule permitted only a sample survey, it's clear that certain as- pects of the past have been well documented on film. Some photo- graphers were profes- sionals, like J.F. Cooke of Thunder Bay, Carl Linde of Kenora, E.C. Everett of Nipigon and Cecil Howatth of Fort Frances. Others were amateurs who achieved very good results with a simple box camera. Happily most "com- munities boast a solid core of farsighted peo- ple who recognize the value of historic visuals and provide safe storage for these, whether in a private home, public li- brary, municipal office, museum building or corporate archive.

Before tossing out unwanted photo albums, or any other historic document for that matter, check whether some _ local repository might be will- ing to accept it. Once destroyed, such mater- ial can rarely be replac- ed. I found a heightened awareness of living his- tory too. Relatively new communities like Geraldton, Terrace Bay and Manitouwadge are in the unusual position of having pioneers still in their midst. In Red Lake, a 17 year old name J.J. Richthammer wrote profiles about area pioneers for the area newspaper; one of the reasons he was se- lected Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year for 1983.

In this way, North- western Ontario will gain a broader appli- cation of the past and the efforts of dedicat- ed persons, many of them volunteers, to pre- serve it. They have en- riched our lives. KR 044 ho ut Notes Warm winds by ANNE TODESCO After the hard work of the Recreation Club and the men of the village who built a deep well iced toboggan slide on the Todesco property that has a well slanted slope from the highway to the harbour, along came unusual warm weather, warm winds and rain. It washed away most of the slide, but the villagers and children managed to get a few days run on it. The toboggans were Car- ried several feet out on the harbour ice. Tuesday evening, a toboggan party was held and hamburgers, chips, popcorn, pop and milk shakes were enjoyed at the community hall fol- lowing the sliding. The unusually warm weather and rain storms the past week has open- ed up the bay, with open water as far as one can see. Other years at this time, horses could be driven over the bay to the islands freighting logs and supplies. This winter, tugs could be . used. Maybe there is the possibility of an early opening of navigation. The harbour has. black ice, I believe it is called, and is unsafe for walk- ing or ice fishing. The boys of the Crea- tion Club built a rink on the ice near the govern- TERRACE BAY RECREATION COMMITTEE 1984 Ernie Kettle - Chairman, Administrative & Facility Representative Don Davey - Vice-Chairman, Facility & Arena Activities Liason Bill McDougall - Youth Programs Russ Phillips - Adult Programs Mike Rust - Men's & Ladies' Curling Club Liason Bill Houston - Council Representative Ollie Chapman - Council Representative & Facility Chairman God ¥1 erry We and rain ment dock.

Cathy Gerow guided the Junior Recreation Club through the procedure of holding a meeting, and Blaine Gerow President, chair- ed the meeting. Other executive members are Vice President Cecilia Schroeder, Sec. Treas. April Schroeder, and Daniel Campbell, Chair- man of the toboggan slide committee. After the meeting, games were played such as Trivial Pursuit and Monopoly. Jack Collin- son and Michael Gerow prepared homemade popcorn and koolaid for the children. Suggestions were heard on means of rais- ing funds for the pur- chase of balls, bats, etc. The Senior Committee has acquired the old skating site from the C.P.R. and hope to have it ready for next win- ter's sports and the pos- sibility of converting it into a ball field for the summer. Ins and Outs During the past week, three movies have been shown in the hall by the Recreation Club. They were 'Sky Driving,", "Star Wars" and "The Foy' *. Fund raising projects suggested by the Junior Committee of the Rec- reation Group were a bottle drive, a Worka- thon in the spring and the possibility of a home bingo or a flea market.
