fin 2814 MERIDIAN STREET BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Select your Scotch as carefully as you select your stereo With stereo, what matters most is high fidelity sound. With Scotch, it's taste that really matters. And because you care about Scotch, you'll probably choose Black White. You'll choose it for its smooth blend. Its mellow taste.

Its friendly flavour. The great Whisky is distilled, blended and bottled in Scotland by and for people who care about Scotch. Enjoy it soon. BLACK WHITE "FASHIONS THROUGH the Centuries" included the fashions of the 17th and 19th centuries as modelled by Sharon Ingram, left, and Audrey MacKenzie. Though the limbs were still well covered in the 19th century, the young ladies were a little more daring as Audrey demonstrates by coyly showing her fashionable hightop shoes.

To complete her 17th century costume, Sharon wears her great grandmother's embroidered red cape. The fashion show took place during Musical Madcaps variety shows presented twice by St. Thomas' Anglican Church Young People in the parish hall.

B. Van Home presented Mrs. H. H. Steen of Vancouver, president of the National Council of Women, with a copy of "Sepass Poems" translated by Eloise Street Harries when Mrs.

Steen attended the Chilli-wack Council Women meeting and Founder's Day tea in St. Thomas' Anglican Church Hall. The book will be placed in the National C. of W. Lady Aberdeen Memorial Library.

Books for the library, gathered over the past eight years, will be located in Waterloo University in Waterloo, Mrs. Steen reported. The library will comprise a history of women. There are now some 1,700 books and quantities of pamphlets, papers and reports written in many languages. They are non-fiction and include old cook books; advice on child care; books on pioneer life concerning women; and other articles by women.

Mrs. Harries, sister of Mrs. Winfield Maxwell of Chilli-wack, is the first woman to undertake this type of work for Indians. She learned to speak their language from her mother who was the daughter of Rev. Edward White, one of the first missionaries in this district.

Ill health prevented Mrs. Harries from presenting the book of poems, also known as "songs of Y-All-Mihth," to Mrs. Steen. The book was illustrated by George Clutesi, Vancouver Island Indian artist. Oliver N.

Wells introduced Gerald Sepass, grandson of Chief K. H. H. Halserton Sepass, who said he was deeply honored to be the custodian of "Sepass Poems." Mr. Wells told the audience that in May of this year Eloise Street Harries presented Mr.

Sepass with an autographed copy "Sepass Poems." In it she recorded bequeathing to him one-half of the income from the receipts of royalities from the sale of the "Sepass Poems." On July 28 of this year, Mrs. Harries, owner of the copyright, assigned the copyright to the trustees of a trust estate which she had set up to act on her behalf. The declaration of trust under which the assignment was made, provided for the setting up of a trust account. Mr. Wells said Gerald Sepass and the Indians of British Columbia are to receive equal benefits from the administration of the Trust Fund to be known as "The Sepass Trust" and administered by trustees under the chairmanship of Mr.

Wells. RNABC Hear Reports Mrs. Hertha Rempel reported on a meeting concerning "Continuing Education for Nurses" when she attended the monthly meeting of Registered Nurses Association of B.C., held in the nurses' lounge. Mrs. Larry Moore chaired the meeting when Mrs.

Rempel said a further appeal was made to each chapter in the Fraser Valley to decide what type of course, or courses, they wished to have. Mrs. Rempel also showed a draft of a letter that was to be sent to Dr. J. B.

Macdon-ald of University of B.C. and Premier W. A. C. Bennett requesting immediate action on the extension of the Nursing Department at UBC.

The nurses' annual dance to raise funds for their bursaries will be held March 12. Mrs. W. L. Kirkness reported the newly-formed Future Nurses' Club at Sardis now has 20 members.

A Christmas party followed the business meeting.

This year the variety show was presented for two nights in the parish hall by members of St. Thomas' Anglican Church Young People. Jim Davidson was master of ceremonies and Jeff Clarke was the "star" of the show. President Marlene Dore was commentator when "Fashions Through the Centuries" were presented.
