Terrace Bay Wednesday, November 27, 1985 Mrs. Jeanne Marcella Box 73 TERRACE BAY, ONT. POT 2Wo Apr /86 Vol. 20, No. 54 'Serving Terrace Bay, Schreiber and Rossport 3S" Snow, snow and more snow on the way We Survived Battling the cold winds of September, the Girl Guides of Manitouwadge spent the weekend of September 27, 28 and 29th camping out at their Girl Guide Camp at Thompson Lake. Mother Nature was not too kind as the girls woke up to _ frosty temperatures on Saturday morning and rain on Sun- day morning. But the girls' spirits never dampered. Working on their Ex- plorer badge, the guides found themselves learning how to survive in the bush miles from help. They were also given some first aid tricks that could be us- ed when proper care wasn't available. Relying on what they had been taught the guides managed, injuries and all, to make their way out of the bush and back to camp. Our guides also learned how to construct a tin foil oven and then preceeded to bake in them. They also made "buddy burners" - a small, light- to-carry wax burner which could be used as a source of heat or light. We also had with us a special guest, Mrs. Pam Jones or P.J., as the girls referred to her, from Terrace Bay. P.J. in- structed the girls in their knots and gadgets, which could be made using the knots they had learned. Camp wasn't all work, though. Games and singing played a major part in the weekend. P.J. lead the girls and the leaders through campfire teaching them new songs along the way. In fact, I don't think the girls (or the leaders) stop- ped singing all weekend. When Sunday arrived it was far too soon, as always. The girls climbed back -into -vehicles for the trek home and another suc- cessful Girl Guide camp, thanks to Mrs. Hunter, was over. Many thanks to P.J. for coming all the way from Terrace Bay to be part of our camp out and for shar- ing your songs and stories with us. I know the girls enjoyed it. The guides would also like to express their gratitude to our ex- cellent cooks, Mrs. Jackie Jung and Mrs. "Liz" Larkin, who, once again, spent the weekend slaving over a hot stove. I'm sure the thanks to our fearless leaders, you know who you are, goes without saying. Who else would cail a fire drill at 11 o'clock at night. And so, until next year '"Rise 'n shine..."' Sarah Moore Leader - Girl Guides Correction The fish eggs that were placed into the fish hat- chery by the Rod and Gun Club of Terrace Bay were Speckled Lake Trout not Auora Lake Trout.
