Nancy Jensen - I think a woman can run anything as well as a man. We asked a few of the local townspeople how they would feel if a woman were holding the position of Reeve here. There were answers like these: Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, June 19, 1985, page 3 Ken Randle - Fine. As long -as they're willing to do the job and do it well, it's fine with me. Bruce Lang - That wouldn't bother me too much. Women are being put in higher positions of government, and they wouldn't do any less than Danny Vienneau - I don't think it makes much difference. Either a man or a woman can do the job if they are qualified. It has no bearing on what sex they a man would do. are.

The Rossport Derby was the first and original Fish Derby that took place in the Lake Superior waters. It was put to the members of the Conserva- tion organization (Game and Fish Association) by Ray Kenney who had known about the derbies being held in the eastern lakes. The group decided to try this type of sport and the first derby took place in July of 1936. It started in a very small and humble way of prizes being offered in fishing equipment valued about 25 dollars, such as rods, reels, lures, etc. etc. From then on developed into a large and prosperous recreation event known from coast to coast and south of the border with thousands of dollars in prizes offered for competi- tion under the chairman- ship of Toi Seppala and his committee and always a thousand dollars on the en- try ticket. The Kenney Marine is offering its annual draw for children from four to 12 years again. The Derby committee consists of Douglas Stefurik as chair- man, Wm. Colleson, Juriss Zdanovitkis and Lorraine Seppala as assistance and Alex Krystia as Sec. Tres. Additional members of the committes are Eddie Zwaresh, Cathy Gerow - food booths and supplies, Prizes - Lorraine Seppala, Official Weigher - Lester Legault. There will be between 20 and 22 prizes offered for competition. A thou- sand dollar cheque on the entry ticket and the first prize will be a boat, type and style announced later. Fishing equipment and an outboard motor and many other items of interest which will be announced later, even including a weekend at the Valhalla Inn in Thunder Bay, and a fly-in fishing trip by: Weiben's resort.

We counted our pennies, bought a home and gradually furnished it little by little and tried above all to keep out of debt - rather' do without till we had sav- ed a few dollars to pur- chase articles to make our homes more comfortable - today it is a hop, skip and jump to have everything at once in furniture and of course a car and forgive my expression - but a Hell of a big mortgage hanging over their heads for the rest of their lives. What an outlook for the future!! Happiness, love and a roof over our heads counted in our days and visiting at least once a week with our Lord, Jesus Christ in the church of one's chosen faith. Public Library Mr. Dale Cooper met with members of the Schreiber Public Library to discuss the placing of two computers in the Library during the summmer months, courtesy of the Lake Superior High School. We informed the board that we could have the use of a Commodore 64 and software, as well as a Tandy with Printer for full business operation, and the software will be courtesy of Terry's Sight and Sound of Terrace Bay.
