LEAVES FOR CANADA Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hurst and Jim's brother Howard, left this weekend for their new home in British Columbia, Canada. They have bought some land near the Stikine River, and will live in Telegraph Creek while they are clearing a road into their property and building. They plan a hunting lodge. - Helen drove the car and pulled a U-Haul, Howard drove his pickup and pulled the Air Stream, and Jim was to fly two airplanes in. Even for Jim, this seems a good trick. Their lodge will be on the lakeshore of a small stretch of water just big enough to put down a plane, and against a mountain. The country is really primitive, with big game, mountain' 'sheep'," goats, caribou, moose, bear, wolves and all the other wild life of northwest British Columbia. For the next year or two, they will be busy building, but plan to enjoy the nice climate, comparable to the Wasatch Front, without wind, while they become self-sufficient in a"C travel suits. The first football game of the season for the Green River Pirates will be against the Duchesne Eagles at Duchesne on August 27, and these talented and hard-working cheerleaders will be urging their team on to vitory. Cheerleaders, back row: Head cheerleader Dawna Wilcox, Gayle Thompson. Center from left: Vicki Richardson, Ruth Ann Reay, Candee Vetere, Julie Duncan and Lori Hunt.
