Page 2, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, April 10, 1985 Bits and Bites By Helen Ballard Hi everyone. Hope you all had a nice Easter with family and friends. I guess the kids, young and old, had their share of Easter Eggs and Chocolate Bun- nies. Too bad all these goodies are so full of calories. Well Easter only comes once a year so in- dulge and resume your diet after the candy is gone. I suppose everyone feels the same about this snow we got again but it's better to have it now than in May, although I have seen'snow storms in May so all we can do is grin and bear it. Not too much doing these days, it's still early for the different sport groups wind-ups. I unders- tand our senior bowlers are really in fine shape, which goes to show you that age is just a state of mind, and you can still do many things if you stay '"'young at heart". I see the sea gulls are back. I saw several of them flying around Birchwood, - do you suppose they are looking for one of our residents, that old fisher- man Felix Legault? He is a most interesting person to talk to, he has many stories of his days fishing on Lake Superior. He tells of how those birds would follow the boat and even come and eat out of his hand. Felix was a very young lad when he started this trade with z his father and brothers. I guess being out in the fresh air has something to do with his long life. Our Felix is past 80, but still en- joys his life here at the Home and keeps busy in the craft and rock rooms. We welcomed a new resi- dent to Birchwood, Mrs. Easter Luoma of Nipigon, her daughter is Mrs. Vera Mannilla of Nipigon. We hope she enjoys her stay with us. It's a short week, Good Friday being a-holiday, so really news is scarce so I'll get to my bite for this week. Several people brought to my attention so with this nice weather com- ing I'll mention it and hope I won't have to again. Please folks, co-operate with the Police Force and do not park in the spaces reserved for handicapped people, just look where you park and remember those less fortunate than you and don't take up their space - this will also make the work of the Police a bit bet- ter, they won't have to spend their time giving out tickets. Thank you. Until -next time remember -- "It ain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones."' A Step Into History by P. BARRY The old photograph. Probably black and white. Perhaps yellowed a bit. Or curled. With a date o1 without a date. Names o1 no names. Preserved carefully in a photo album or half-hazardly tucked away in boxes and envelopes. Most people have either taken a photograph or have posed for one. Because it is pro- bably the most common sort of historical item that people have kept over the years, the Terrace Bay history project has been making a special effort to collect old photos. Several local résidents have already made déposits or-have given loan of some of their old treasures. Here are a few examples: Mrs. Shirley Mikus sub- mitted the first two photos. Photo No. 1: "Knitting Club Party", November 1952. Pointing at the two basement windows in the photo, Mrs. Mikus remarked that during the early days of Terrace Bay ; the folks entertained themselves wherever it was convenient such as in so- meone's unfinished base- ment. Photo No. 2: "South Camp - reserve recruits - husbands of local residents', 1947 or 1948. It would be of interest to know where the big gun has gone, as well as the names of the men. Note the style of camera and flash at the feet of the man seated in the front:row. Mrs. Mary Hale submit- ted Photo No. 3 which is entitled "Old South Camp Curling Rink", L to R - Eve Knauff, Joan Faust, Betty Sinkins, 1948. The old building looks *'cozy"' HOUSE FOR SALE 4 bedrooms, large liv- ing room, and large kitchen/dining room combined. Located at 140 Drummond Street, Schreiber. Asking price $60,000.

Shivas, Mercier, Downey, R. Wills; Lower L to R - Shivas, Hubelit, Wills. The six boys travelled to Win- nipeg to receive the rank of Queen's Scout which was the highest rank to which a Scout could aspire. Please visit or telephone the library if you think you've some interesting photographs. If you do not wish to give your photos to the library please consider lending them so that we can make copies. One of the goals of the history project is to build a thorough chronological collection of photographs depicting the various groups, institutions, and activities of Terrace Bay from its beginnings to the present.

Mrs. Anne Todesco and Mrs. Hilda Mushqush at- tended the funeral services of the late Mrs. Esther Sep- pala in Thunder Bay on Monday. Mrs. Seppala was a former Rossportite, born and raised. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Mushqush and children of Sioux Lookout visited his parents Dave and Hilda Mushqush during the March break. Peter Gerow has return- ed from a holiday spent in Vancouver and Victoria, BC; Our deepest sympathy goes out to Miss Lorraine Seppala in the loss of her mother the late Mrs. Esther Seppala.

Mrs. George Bruley and Mrs. Kenneth Bruley of Thunder Bay spent a few days at their summer residence here the past week. Spring is truly here as the crows and their noisy partners, the gulls are loud- ly announcing their arrival. Starlings and black birds are searching the bare ground for seeds while the robins and other song birds are flying about entertain- ing themselves and humans. They nestle on the branches of trees with their feathers all fluffed out to .The stores have seed-on display for gardeners to purchase and start the plants indoors then plant them in the ground when the frost is gone. | Do Believe By MARY HUBELIT Was rummaging through my 'writing' file recently and turned up a copy of "Why I Do Believe In Heaven and Hell". This was my entry in a debate instituted in 1958 by the now-defunct Liberty Magazine. Easter is ap- proaching with its buoyant spiritual stimulus and I wondered if you would share some thoughts with me: : '"'Many of us were brought up on the 'fire- and-brimstone' theory. But if Canada needs muscles, she also needs brains -- the type that can and will sit at the back of the crowd, on a bench in the park, on a rock at the lake, or at the top of the rise in a field that rolls up and down across the prairies, and think. Think about the power which has placed the raw materials for a happy and useful life at our disposal. Select almost any day. of our lives and evaluate it. There. are many pleasant benefits, aren't there? Health, safety from freak or chaotic weather, safety from attack by human or animal enemies, the simple fact that.we are among friends? These are the basic premises that should lead us to-realize that life must mean more than 'eat, drink and be merry, for tomor- row we die'. Obviously some guiding force is at work trying to direct us toward an existence with less selfishness, meanness, cruelty and unkindness in It. Further contemplation leads us to wonder what happens after death. We know that when we are no longer here, spring. still comes on, skies darken with storm clouds, rivers tumble to the sea, and our friends must still earn their daily bread, with occa- © sional pangs of grief and loss for us. So the only change must be in the spirit, since material fac- tors are obviously not af- fected - other than our own bodies, naturally! Surely we can all admit that we are variously en- dowed with such spirit - not intelligence alone, but the feelings that move us to be honest with our neighbour, kind to dogs, gentle with children and old people, and tolerant of other men's eccentricities. Some are more sensitive to, and co- operative with, the wishes and needs of their neighbours than others. I believe it is the degree of sensitivity we hold that determines the destination of our soul, or spirit. Why should it be a destination? What in- struments can trace its tra- jectory or compute its speed as it frees itself from its earthly base? What pro- of can we produce that it does not simply snuff out like a candle flame? The answers may not be found for many generations, but in the meantime let us remember that Sir Francis Bacon died as he was about to discover the principles of food preservation by refrigeration; Galileo, Col- umbus, Henry Hudson and dozens of other thinking men were consumed by difficult questions which it appeared no one could answer. But they've all been answered since, haven't they? Evidence was shaping up to prove their theories when they died - we too have almost enough evidence to prove that our souls' go somewhere , but probably few of us will be able to state coherently or listen at- tentively when the day of final proof arrives. Consider the minds and ability of gifted musicians, mathematicians, writers or statesmen.
