ments for the program. Skits, ex
hibitions and craft displays plus

mothers, with a needle-threading

prove to be fun for parents and
Cubs alike.
All parents and friends of the
Cub scouts are invited to attend
the banquet.
WHITEHORSE NOW
CAPITAL OF YUKON
Dawson, the roaring city that
gave glamor to the Klondike a
half century ago, was stripped
March 15 of it’s title as capital
of the Yukon Territory. j ,
The Canadian House of Com
mons overruled sentiment and
moved the capital 320 miles south
to Whitehorse, a city of some
5,800 people and more modern
conveniences.
One last protest came from par
liament member J. A. Simmons
who represents the wild, million
square mile riding of Yukon-Mac
.Kenzie River.
“It is a mistake,” he said. “Can
ada has lost a landmark of the
utmost value. In the minds of the
world, Dawson is the capital of
the North. There is the last rest
ing place of the pioneers who op
ened up the North.”
Simmons said the people of the
Yukon would accept the change
but said that the few hundred
people of Dawson who remain
with their memories of the roar
ing ’90’s might let out a yell that
would be heard from Hudson Bay
to Nome.
Don’t forget the school boartrr
election April 3.
