"Wednesday; Marth.8, 1989. - - Page 3 School helps support less fortunate The staff and students of Holy Angels School are assisting a family from India through Save A Family Plan. The silver collection taken at their Christmas Concert was the source of this year's donation. This special family of five lives in very poor conditions in a dirt-floor home. While Leelamma, the mother, cares for her family at home, Chacko, the sole breadwinner of the family, works as a coolie for a monthly salary of approximately $5.00. (Some of our children are given that as a weekly allowance). With insufficient means to meet the demands of a family, Chacko and his wife are presently separated from their eldest daugh- ter, Givi - 9 yrs. old, who resides in an orphanage. Gibi - 8 yrs. old, and Gisha, 4 yrs: old, live at home with their parents. The family lives on a 0.07 acre plot of land, too small to make cultivation possible. They do, however, have a few cows to help provide milk for the children and support them for a better future. Holy Angels School and its families take pride in helping the Pallippuram family and hope to continue the assistance for the less fortunate of God's people. Snowmobilers killed Twenty snowmobilers have been killed in Ontario so far this winter- the same number killed during the entire 1987/88 season. By this time last year, 15 per- sons had lost their lives in snow- mobile accidents. Unpredictable weather pat- terns have created havoc with snowmobiling conditions. Frequent thawing and refreezing of lakes have resulted in nnstable surfaces. Riders are advised to check with local residents about the thickness of the ice surface before venturing out on lakes, or better yet, to avoid riding on lakes alto- gether. Some riders are even a attempting to jump open water on their snowmachines. "Those. who do this are play- ing with their lives," said Provincial Constable Dennis Tappenden of the Sudbury OPP. "If someone were to fall in the water, considering the present 'temperatures, that person would probably have about four minutes to live." The majority of accidents are due to alcohol consumption and excess speed. The speed limit on most trails is SO km/h, and snow- mobilers should be careful not to overdrive their headlights. Riders should proceed into unknown areas with caution. Tree stumps can be hidden by the snow, and side roads can be icy. Lastly, it is important to tell a responsible person where you are going, including any last-minute change of plans, and when to expect you back. "Letting someone know when you plan to return will avoid any unnecessary worry, and also allow us to find you if there is a problem," said Tappenden. Derailment posed no danger Continued from page 1 Nobody was injured in the accident at which officials from the Ministry of the Environment, CP Rail Police, the Schreiber Fire Department and an emergency response unit from Thunder Bay were on site. Once the emergency response vehicle was on the site, it used a crane to remove the derailed caboose from the tracks. -- The CP line was closed during the clean-up and by 4:00 Tuesday afternoon the caboose was removed and the line was reopened. Theme of Peace chosen for Tea The Girl Guides and Brownies in Schreiber held their "Thinking Day Tea" on Sunday, February 19th at the Legion Hall. It was a beautiful day both outdoors and indoors. This is the 100th Anniversary of Lady Olave Baden-Powell whose husband, Lord Robert Baden-Powell, founded Scouting and Guiding. In honor of Lady Baden-Powell the Girl Guides chose the theme "Peace" for their Tea and showed this with their posters and their happy, smiling faces as they greeted you at the door. The Brownies and Guides had fun serving tea and fancy desserts. This year they served homemade strawberry short cake, black forest cake and a variety of cheese cakes. The first year Brownies earned their Hostess Badge at the tea because of all their work. Besides the bake table and craft table this year they also had a Tupperware table. Any orders placed will be credited to the Girl Guide Association and they will receive a monetary donation from Tupperware. They had wonderful items for the draws and would like to con- gratulate Lorna Wilson who won a beautiful table cloth donated by Spadoni Brothers Department Store, Pam Paradis, who won a pen set donated by Hodder's 'Jewellery, Dani Garon and Pam Paradis who won tea towel kitchen sets donated by Rose Park, Shelly McParland who won the Burt & Ernie Cake donated by Francis Wilson, Cheryl Glad who won the cuddly Teddy Bear made by Joyce Buchanan, Ksandra Burke who won the marble count and received a love camera and light bulbs donated by Western Tire and Mary Shack Jr. who won the door prize of a beautiful flow- er arrangement donated by Flowers N' Things. The Girl Guides and Brownies would like to thank all the parents for their support and the many people who came out to support them on Sunday. We all had fun giving and receiving in the true spirit of Guiding.
