MAY 18, 1977 TERRACE BAY NEWS PAGE 9 FIRE PERMITS: Continued A£rom pg. 8 ... - Call the Ministry immediately if the fire should get out of control. The most important reason of all. Burning grass, brush or debris during the fire season (from April lst to October 31st) without a fire permit is illegal. If you're caught and convicted, it could cost you a thousand-dollar . fine, three months in jail, plus the cost of fighting any wildfire you might have caused. It's a tough law, but some people still don't bother to get a permit because they think no one will notice their fire. Well, as we told the man after he burned his barn down last year, "It was tough not to notice." These regulations do not apply to the town- sites in this District. Check with your local Municipal Office for burning regulations in SCHOOL NEWS CANADA FAST DAY - MAY 4TH, 1977: On Wednesday, May 4th, the students and staff of Lake Superior High School by-passed their 'daily habit of consuming lunch and in- stead made a monetary donation to the Canadian Save the Children Fund (Cansave). Close to $230. was collected purely by voluntary dona- tions. Prior to the Wednesday noon hour "fast" assemblies were held to explain the purpose -of the "Day" and to emphasize problems through -out the world. At the Terrace Bay Campus a Mushball (sponge 'Scftball) Tournament was held to help pass the luncheon noon-hour. The Ojibway House team emerged the winners of the single elimination tournament.- They were supposed to meet a col- lection of Teacher Super-Stars Monday. As it turned out the Teachers should have hoped for rainy afternoons until the end of June because despite their unusual abilities they were rath- er soundly defeated by the Ojibway team. Both teachers and students agreed that the "Day" and its related activities had been a worthy success. TRIBUTE TO MRS. PAT BUCK SS nn sh On behalf of the people of Terrace Bay, I'd like to pay a small tribute to Mrs. Pat Buck, former Matron of McCausland Hospital, who died during the past month. Pat was Matron of the Hospital from 1954 - 1970, when she had to re- tire because of illness. 7 She was a dedicated nurse and everyone with whom she came in contact had the greatest respect for" her as a nurse and as a humanitar- ian. Every morning she visited every patient in the hospital and had a word of encourage- ment and lent a sympathetic ear to all their problems. When she was stricken with cancer and could no longer work she was a great source of com- fort and strength to so many frightened people when, they too were told they had cancer. No one but God in heaven, knew what a tower of strength she was with her ready smile and kind words, in spite of her suffering. We all shall miss her and this is only a small tribute to such a beautiful human being. One Who Knew Her.
