She taught school for many years, and then stopped to raise a family. Due to the shortage of teachers in the Prince George district. Mrs.' Carter started to teach again several years ago. The energetic, teacher lias been trying to retire for threu years but, lo the thankfulness of the whole school, just couldn't loin;; herself to leave the students and the school. As she was presented the life membership, Mrs. Carter laughed and said: "This is the third time 1 have received this, but this is the last time, I promise."

But, the story hasn't ended. Speed Limit Signs on Vanderhoof Highway last month In other words, the bear-hunting contest between Prince. George and Tinimins, Ontario hasn't ended and nobody knows who's currently ahead.

Last word had it that the Tim in ins poachers, who have attempted to "horn in" on the "hear skins for Guards' hats" scheme this year, had amassed 25 bears' birthday suits. Local bear hunters aren't breaking out the champagne, however. They don't know if they are winning the war of words and bear skins. A strange lack of information about the Tinimins bear hunters of late would indicate that possibly they aren't doing so good at the Ontario centre. However, nobody knows. At least ntfbody in this "neck of the woods." Timmins people will not be able to shoot bears after next Monday. It is forbidden to bag the animals there after June 15. Prince George Jaycees can hunt as long as they have ammunition.
