ST. ALBERT AIR CADET WINS WINGS
Warrant Officer Ian McLellan was the proud recipient of Air Cadet wings at a recent ceremony in the Parish Hall. The Wingo were presented by Don Collett, an instructor in the squadron, on behalf of the St. Albert Lions Club and the three business firms that put up the money for the flying scholarship. Warrant Officer McLellan started his Air Cadet career with an Edmonton Squad- ron, transferring to St. Albert some tw anda half years ago. During the sum- mer of 1961 he won a Senior Leaders course at Camp Borden, This course is given to the top 200 cadets in the whole of Canada. He was the only cadet to make 100% on the written exams in Camp Borden. He also stood highest in the class of cadets taking flying train ing in Edmonton this year.

that by the time this letter appears in your paper, almost all of the residents of St. Albert will be aware ot ok tare Ta of St. Albert's pavest soqulaition = a LIQUOR VENDOR, to be built in the Shoppers’ Park. Is this the progressive St. Albert you are continuously referring to in your editorials, is this what the citizens want before anything else? What has happened to the demands St. Albert was to have put forth for a hospital. What action has been taken, what proposals, what plans or promises have been given on this matter? Or are we to presume that we have been bought off with a liquor outlet. Perhaps the idea is to have the would-be hospital patient consume this questionable beverage in such amounts that the patient does not care whether he makes ti to an Edmonton Hospital or not. This can be done in either of two ways: place the bottle neck between the uppers and lowers, watch that you do not lose a couple of fingers in this operation, and proceed to pour until you think he no longer feels any pain - the same effect may be achieved by placing a tourniquet about the neck; or the second way is to pour the bottles’ contents over him if you cannot get the patient to take it internally. In this way, should it be a stretcher case, and the ambulance has not arrived, you can put the patient in a wheel barrow, grasp the handles firmly, and off to Edmonton. Then again, «hy not take a few belts yourself, and both get into the barrow and wait for the Hospital to arrive. If the Provincial Government does not see fit at this time to build a hospital in St. Albert, why not a Government spon~ sored ambulance service, which I feel sure would serve our residents and those to the north of us, equally well. I ny- self had occasion to use an ambulance service recently, and waited some 40 minutes for its arrival, and at that, had to lead them to the address, as they were not familiar with St. Albert's streets. I think we should press our Council for both of these services, either one would be a definite attribute to our commun- ity, but let us obtain both. The medical profession wants a 100 bed hospital, but isn't half a loaf better than none. Remember, in years to come, we will be judged, not by the liquid assets we provided our prople, but by the way we have provided for education , hospitalization and relative services, ani for our senior citizens. Until we have done our utmost in these three directions, we have failed in our duty and cannot honestly say "I have provided for my Brother".
Yours sincerely, Rod McPhatter "Shutterbug"
Dear Sir,
Recently, Dr. Michael Ramsay, the Archbishop of Canterbury, expressed a hope that the present Vatican Council would take action to remove certain practices from Roman Catholicism that are offensive to other Christians. This hope arises from a concern for the spiritual life of individuals, both Roman Catholic and non-Roman Catholic, for the specific practices which he mentions are those that cause pain to the individuals of both traditons when interpersonal relationships are established, Further, it would seem as if Dr. Ramsey is concerned that the traditions draw closer together in order to meet the challenges that are everywhere being presented to the Christian Church.
It is interesting that these concerns of Dr, Ramsey should be those that were felt by the founders of St. Albert United Shurch. These founders were faced with the task of making available a church for the non-Roman Catholic population of St. Albert. This could only be done collectively and thus was presented the second problem, how could this be done in Such a way as to avoid practices that might be unattractive to some of the traditions to be represented in the new church. The result of much discussion and soul-searching, was that these people determined that this church should be first, Christian; second, Protestant; and third, it should reflect the traditions of its people. The search for a sys~ tem of organization that would permit such flexibility led to a decision to form a United Church. The result has been a unique quality of church life. The traditions of the people in the congregation are accepted without any distinctions being made. Persons who have never made a profession of faith or who are not confirmed, are confirmed after instruct- ion; persons coming from other congregations and/or other traditions are all asked to present a letter of transfer or good standing and having signified their intention to make this their church “home” and to seek the welfare of this con- gregation, are accepted as full members and are then eligible to serve in any office in the congregation. The basis for this is a desire to witness to the belief that God may act where. when, and how, He may see fit in calling men to eerrdey: This practice has resulted in over 20 traditions being represented in the pews and organization of this con- eregation.
The obvious question is how conflicting practices are reconciled. In practice, when someone suggests a change in pract~ ice or procedure, it is presented to the Session of the congregation which considers the effect that such a change might have on the congregation as a whole and then to the Stewards who consider the feasibility of the idea in terms of the available facilities and financial resources. If no difficulty is encountered, and to date no insurmountable obstacles have been met, the change is implemented. If a difficulty is encountered, the change is implemented in such a way that it is not forced upon persons who might find it unattractive. The result of this has been a church life that is more
liturgical, more evangelical, more concerned for an intelligent understanding of the faith, and more mission-minded than
many of the traditions represented which have a more one facet emphasis. Obviously this congregation is not perfect but in this blending of so many fine traditions, a new depth of understanding and respect has been found while the work of “preaching the Word and administering the Sacraments" has gone on.
It might well be that the application of Christian love and concern, mutual respect, and devotion to mission that has achieved so much here could be the key to solving the larger problems confronting the Christian Church. Rev. E, R. Schwarz.

BOB SCAMMEL and his CUBS
Leader of Cub Pack A (Sir George Simpson] Bob Scammel, was Cubmuaster of last years Pack, and thought by splitting the packs this year that there would be two small-| er groups. But, with so many newcomers to Scouting, Bob has a pack of 44. This again is too many in one pack and an ef-| fort will be made to form the third pack of the St. Albert Second soon. Bob Scammel is one of Grandin Park's ear lier settlers, moving here in October, 1960. He started his Scouting exper- ience in Winnipeg. when he was 18 years old, he became Assistant Scoutmaster, and two years later Scoutmaster of the same Troup. His interest in Cubs start- ed 1957, when he moved to a new area in Winnipeg. His term of Assistant Cubsas- ter was only three months, then he was promoted to Cubmaster.
In April of 1960, Bob was transferred to Edmonton. In March of 1961, he became Baloo (Assistant Cubmaster) at St. Alb~ ert Second, and in September of the same year, was made Akela (Cubmaster).
Of particular interest, is the wolfhead shown with Bob Scammel. From his frient in his first Scout Troup in Winnipeg, came this present of the head of a Man- itoba Timber Wolf. The Troup mounted it and presented it to Bob for his use in Scouting in St. Albert. It accompanies
him to each Cub meeting on Wednesday evenings.
We salute Bob Scammel - Scout

SIXTY YEARS OF OBLATE LIFE
On Sunday, October 14, the Roman Cathol- ic Parish of St. Albert celebrated the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of Father Larose, 0.M.I.
‘The celebration began with the High Mast which was sung by Father Larose. The Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus was present during the Mass. Father M. Mac- mahon, OMI, from the Retreat House, gave the sermon at this Mass.
In the afternoon, about 300 friends of Father Larose were present in the Parish| Hall to pay their respects to the parish priest who had built the church in St. Albert in 1922. The Ladies of the Altar Society served a very delicious banquet, which was followed ty the many speeches of well wishes and congratulations. Parish priest, Father Georges Chevrier, OMI, acted as Master of Ceremonies. Guests at the head table were: Mayor and Hrs. Wa. Veness, Mayor Jules Van Bra dant of St. Paul, where Father Larose va responsible for the construction of the Cathedral. Also present were Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Dechene, a former MLA, Mr. Lamotte MLA, Mr. and Mrs. Guy Beaudry,
AN INTERESTING TALK WITH FATHER LAROSE
State Deputy for the Knights of Columbus Mr. Louis Durocher, President of A.C.P.A Mr, and Mrs. G.H. Forrest, patrons of the Retreat House, Father G.E. Lapoint, OMI of Bonneville, Father M. Lafrance provincial of Oblates of Mary Immaculate! Pather Thibault, OMI, Director of Star of the North Retreat House.
Many congratulations and well wishes = | were given to Father Larose, that he may! enjoy a long life to continue to carry | on his good work at the Retreat House. | Several telegrams of well wishes were read.
Father Larose was presented with a re~ i clining rocking chair and footstool, on | behalf of the parish, by Mra. Al Brunner) who is the president of the Altar Soc- iety.
The parish of St. Albert is proud of its| former parish priest, who was co-worker with Father Lacombe and Bishop Grandin. When it is time for his soul to be call-| ed, may he enjoy the peace and joy that has been awarded to many other great builders of the Canadian West, who have gone before him.
SIXTY YEARS WITH GOD
Many volumes could be filled with excit-| ing historic stories about St. Albert. Anyone living here during the early 1900's could tell you tales of hunting prairie chicken of Piron Street, fight- ing through the mud each spring to tiny Fort Edmonton, the greater population of St. Albert being Indian.
One who remembers those days before the "horseless” is Father Larose, presently residing at the Retreat House in St. Al- bert.
Father Larose mentioned Father Lacombe an Bishop Vital Grandin, both of whom he knew personally, although he did not
by Marilyn Lockhart
have occasion to work extensively with Father Lacombe, whose work centered in the south. Father Larose remembers him as, literally, being responsible for the Canadian Pacific Railroad in the West. ‘The Indians in the south refused to al low the CPR to law tracks through their territory until Father Lacombe coaxed then to see the benefit of such a ven- ture. It was his personal influence that changed their minds.
| Father Lacombe spent his last years in | Neidnapore, a town south of Calgary. There is a home for the aged there, which was originally furnished and sup- ported by Mr. Pat Burns, founder of
| er, a third entered Northern Alberta.
Father Larose
Burns’ Packing Co. Upon his death, the heart of Father Lacombe was removed and kept at Meidnapore. The body was sent to St. Albert, where the dear father was buried beneath the cathedral Father Albert Lacombe will always be re- memembered, for it was after him that our town was named.
Bishop Vital Grandin too, was a friend of Father Larose. Bishop Grandin never went far from St, Albert; it was here he lived and worked, and here he died. In 1901, he began construction of the cathedral, still standing today. At this time he was the first, and only, Bishop west of Winnipeg. Father Larose recalls Sunday mornings when Bishop Gran din rode horseback to Fort Edmonton to Bishop Grandin died in 1903 and was succeeded by Bishop Le~ gal. In 1917, a second Bishop, Bishop McNally, began work in Calgary, and lat-
Bishop Legal is buried in the cemetary at his own request, while Father Lacombe Bishop Grandin and Father Leduc are bur- ied beneath the altar in the cathedral. In 1921, Father Larose continued const- ruction of the Cathedral. He made a few minor changes in the plans, and in 1922, ‘the Cathedral we see today was blessed. In those days, the area now covered by the Retreat House, was a huge, beautiful garden, tended by one of the Brothers. The Seminary consisted of a nunber of buildings behind the Cathedral, where the first two priests, Fathers Beaudry and Cunningham, trained and were or- dained.
Today St. Albert is a rapidly growing town, busy, expanding, progressing and thriving. A town that once was a grassy windswept hill that caught the eye of a missionary to the Indians; a town that grew through hard work, prayer and faith I

HUNTERS...ATTENTION !
Prospects for Big Game look very good for this season. Many hunters would be wise to concentrate on Big Gane and give Migratory and Upland birds a well needed rest this season. The following are a few areas where Big Game appears to be most plentiful. MOOSE: Zone 15 - Whitecourt to Valley- view, North and South of the Ber-
land River. Zone 18 ~ Grande Prairie area,
Manning area, North & West of Grimshaw and on the Peace R. from the Dunvegan Ferry to Clear R.
‘The Moose population is very heavy in
the Northern areas and could stand a lot
more hunting pressure.
ELK: Zone 12 - There is a large popul- ation of Elk between the Brazeau and Penbina Rivers, between Lodge pole and the Coal Branch, North of the Pembina R. along the Me~ Leod R.
Zone 13 - Peers and Niton are good areas in this zone.
Zone 14 - Rock Lake area (from Hay River Ranger Station to Pinto Creek)
MULE DEER: There are lots of deer along
the Peace, Smoky and Little Smoky Rivers
in Zone 18. If you were to hunt along these rivers by boat or canoe the possib ility of shooting a trophy animal is very good as very few hunters penetrate this area. There are a lot of Mule Deer from Entrance to Rock L., Entrance to
Hay River Ranger Station and North to
Whitecourt.
SHEEP: The best Sheep hunting should be
in the Coal Branch area West of the Coal
Branch road, and from Rock L. North to
the Smoky R.
GOATS: The best areas for Goats should
be West of the Smoky R. in Zones 14 and
15, and North of Rock L.
We urge all hunters to shoot "Billy
Goats" only and leave the ewes and lambs
to provide hunting in the future. Goat
meat is not considered too palatable so
it is mich better to select a large "Billy" that will make a good trophy. HITE TAILED DEER: There is a lnrge pop ulation of White Tails from Wabamun to billed and in the hills North of Gain ord.
‘The above information covers only areas North and West of Edmonton. There are
@ great many good hunting areas in other parts of the province.
We urge all hunters to check in at Govt.| Checking Stations. The Game Officers can give you a lot of useful informatio: and greatly helps them calculate a more accurate count on game animals taken. This information is helpful in planning future seasons,
We wish every hunter SUCCESS in filling his tag!
COSY BASEMENT
This is a view of the newly remodeled Conmunity Hall basement, looking towards the kitchen. very woman who has had anything to do with preparing food for activities in the Community Hall will appreciate the bright, clean, modern kitchen. It has everything you could want - lots of work space, lots of clean counter space, and lots and lots of cup boards!
Here is the social area, showing the cozy arrangement of the tables, with
Tustic fences between. The hanging flow: er baskets and the soft orange lights lend to the romantic atmosphere. This whole transformation was designed by Willem Netelenbos, Jr.
Tt is to be hoped thet many organization will take advantage of this very attract
ive Community Hall to hold their various social activities.

now needed team work and dedicated eff- ort by pupils and teachers, to develop a tradition. Education must lead to a sense of personal responsibility.
On behalf of the Town of St. Albert, Deputy Mayor Lloyd Wheating extended his | congratulations and appreciation of the Board's efforts on behalf of the Dist- rict. He was followed by Mr. George Willis, President of the Home and School Association, who also congratulated the | hard-working Board. He invited all pre-| sent to attend a meeting of the Home and School at the Simpson School, on October 17th, when, he said, members of the Board would be introduced and form a panel to answer questions in the minds of the parents.
Mr. Telmer then added to the story of Sir George Simpson, as told by Miss Bur- ton, telling his audience that Sir Geor- ge came to Canada from Scotland in 1820, | and in 1621, when he was just 34, was
| made governor-in-chief of Rupert's Land, and ruler of half of Canada. He spoke of the use made of the limited education al opportunities available in the first
| |
half of the 19th century, and praised tr present day educational facilities. He said that in the previous century, for~ mal education consisted primarily of neal orizing the sum of knowledge at that time, while now it had of necessity to be a training of the mind to assimilate and make use of the multiplicity of scientific and cultural developments of this generation.
He presented a fine portrait of Sir Geo-| rge Simpson to the School as « gift fron| the Hudson's Bay Company and said a con-| panion picture of Sir Alexander Nacken- zie is being prepared to be hung in the school of the same nase. He then pres~ ented to Mildred Burton, a beautiful trophy, the "Mildred Burton Trophy", to be avarded to the best all around stud— ent leaving grade 6 each year from the Sir George Simpson School. Miss Burton thanked him gracefully and called upon Lois Peacock to receive the trophy for last June's results. Lois thanked him most eloquently. This trophy will be a companion piece to the Harvey trophy, presented each year to the best all around student leaving grade 6 from the Sir Alexander Mackenzie School.
Little Susan Hooly was called to the platform to present Mr. Telmer with a bouquet of roses. The roses had disap- peared mysteriously, so Susan made her curtsey to the delight of the audience. Later, the errant flowers turned up and Susan was able to give then to Kr. Tel- mer after all, to his obvious delight.
A tour of the school's fine facilities followed, and coffee was served by the girls of the home economics class.
The Simpson School was built in two stages, as was said. The first, one story in height, consisted of six stand- ard classrooms with administrative space The second stage contains two levels of classrooms, seven in number. Its total area is approximately 30,000 square feet built at a cost of $330,000. It is en- tirely of concrete and masonry construc- tion. The beams in the large gymnasiun are of pre-stressed concrete, weighing 17 tons each. The walls are finished in colored tile to six fect, making for easy maintenance, and flourescent light is used throughout. The gymnasium con- tains an excellent stage, under which, on a lower level, are change rooms and showers. New West Construction built the first six rooms, while Platten Bros. were the successful bidders on the sec- ond portion of the building.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION
We, the graduating class are now standing at a fork in the road. As we look back, we remember well the journey since the day, twelve short years ago, when we started down the well-trodden highway of education. We remember our many joys and our few sorrows that will cause us to remark philosophically in future years, "School was the best time of our lives", Now, our paths are diverging, and we must leave behind many of our loyal friends and staunch guides — the teachers who sedica ted their time and efforts to seeing us through to this great night. The steadying influence of our teachers, our parents, and all others concerned with our school life will be the surest guide on the unchartered pathe ahead. 421 our separate, chosen paths in life have worthy goals? When Man first saw a rainbow, he was awed by its magnific— ence and splendor. Since he was creative, he felt he must add something, so he added a pot of gold. No one need tell ue that the brilliance of the rainbow is reflecting that gold. We can't see it, but we know it is there. So our lives, to the fullest possible, must have a goal — a shining light that will beckon us on, lead us over rocky roads, and guide our faltering footsteps past many wrong turns on the way. We may reach the goal we are setting for ourselves now as we enter the world of expanded education, but as we do, we will set another ani another, believing Browning when he wrote, "an, bat @ man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?” So now we turn, and with feelings of mingled joy and sadness, we bid farewell to St. Albert High School, and to all we say, Thank you for your goodness
For your interest and your care,
And with all our gratitude,
We breathe a silent prayer.
So with our hearts acknowledgement,
And in simple speech expressed,
May the good God bless and thank you
In the way that He knows best.
2.ASS HISTORY SHEILA OSS It is my privilege tonight to trace for you the history of the 1962 graduating class. Twelve years ago, thirty-three children began their education under the guidance of Miss Wolniewicz, a teacher responsible for the initial academic training of many St. Albert graduates, past and present. Situated then in the Father Jan School, we were to complete our mentary grades in the now demolished brick school on the hill. During this period, Colleen MacMillan, Marianne Maloney, Joan Bokenfohr and Dwight Swane joined our group. Elementary teachers such as Sr. Poirier, Mrs. Blein, Miss Rio, Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Wacowich provided the diligent atmosphere in which our imowledge exvanded. The transition to Junior High School, with. the assistance of Mrs. Vague and Mr. Cournoyer was made during the year 1956- ol. Mr. Bessette, Mrs. Hindle and Mr. Raboud were to see us safely through to Grade X. New students whose acquaintance we made at this time included Judy Burton, Dixie Jarvis and Henry Hodgson. Finally the last phase of our secondary education commenced in the present high school, where Mr. Soprovich, Mrs. Blair, Mrs. Day, Mr. Kalite, Mr. Kluceny, Mrs. Martindale, Miss Shelene, and Sr. Coté directed our efforts toward further schol astic achievement. Welcomed to our student ranks in these years were:
Grade X: Ian Lamoureux, Stan Fowler, Joan Klak
Grade XI; Charlotte Best
Grade XII Richard Coleman, Patty Murray, Mike McIntyre, Douglas Victor, Gary Ge‘r mer, Michael Kelly
Patrick Whitley.

We realize how fortunate we have been to have had the able and willing assistance of the St. Albert Public School Board, the St. Albert Separate School Board and the Hoard of the Sturgeon County.
By making available many of the best facilities, the Trustees of the Public School Board have helped us broaden our ed- vention. They have made it possible for us to participate in numerous activitics aimed at rounding out our characters. Some of these conveniences provided for us are the well-equipped shop, Home Economics, Audio Visual and Typing Rooms: the combination Gymnasium and Auditorium for year-round sports and the many social functions of the year; the book ren- tal system providing education on an econimical basis; and, above all, the well-qualified teachers who were sought for, and hired by, the School Board,
Ail of these duties have been performed entirely without remuneration. They have done it primarily because of their interest in the future liven of the students of the St. Albert Schools.
‘NUBURE 1 THE TEACHERS ‘STANLEY G. FOWLER
Tt ia my honor on behalf of the Graduating Class - 1962 - to pay tribute to the teachers who have played a part in assis ting us to this milestone in our lives. On looking back over the past years, it is only now that we realize how many sacrifices our teachers actually made on our behalf. I'm afraid that we seemed very unappreciative, and at times, even afficult, but our teachers stood by us, giving us help when we needed it most and encouragement when all seemed lost. It is only now that we can fully appreciate the effort they made for us. Saying a simple "Thank you" seems hardly ad- equate considering all they have done for us. Unfortunately, there is no way by which we can repay then except to give
them our heartfelt thanks and to hope that they are a little proud of us tonight and that they will be even more so in the future.

TRIBUTE TO TAN LAMOUREUK
You may be wondering what thoughts are racing through the minds of us graduates tonight. Aside from worrying about making some glaring error that will cause red-faced embarrassment, there is one question that I know has permeated the thread of our thoughts this evening. "How was I able to attain the goal I have reached tonight? How was I finally able to reach the objective set out for me when I entered grade one, twelve yeara ago?" The major part of the answer lies ir one word: Parents.
It has been through their sacrifices and expert guidance, that most of us have cone so far. When we slackened in our duties, they quickly, with a firm hand, set us off on the right track again. Although, at the time we resented this supposed intrusion, I for one, now realize how essential this added propulsion was. when we had accomplished our tasks with proficiency, we received the subtle praise ani encouragement which pushed us on to further improvement in our studies. During the trials of these past years, they have built for us a steel-like foundation upon which we could rest our be- liefs; at the same time, they fed and strengthened them in such a way that they will never be weakened. Thus we have formed convictions that will remain with us for the duration of our lives.
We are only now beginning to realize what effect this prodding and encouragement has had on our scholastic achievements this far, Because of their sacrifices, many of us have been able to go on to higher learning while still others have ventured into the business world with anticipation and confidence. We can never hope to repay our parents for all they have done. However, by hard work and diligent thought, we can make something of ourselves and hope that this in sma measure will reconcile them for the hardships they have endured to ensure our education in this fast-moving world of today.
To the parents, on behalf of my fellow graduates, I can only say with profound humility an inadequate "Thank you".
