Our balanced pride as Ice-
landers and Canadians is
reflected ostensibly in many
vehicles, the least of which is not this
venerable paper.
Strength and sustainabiljty are the
cherished offspring of our own indus-
try, and come about with the will and
recognition that we have a profound
culture, whose maintenance and
proper aggrandizement ought to be a
chief regard of the elder custodians of
that heritage, many of whom sub-

It is with joy then, and real opti-
mism that I communicate to you a
promising development within the
Frón.
We have recently been app-
roached by a couple of enthusiastic
and accomplished young adults of
Icelandic background, representing a
larger but still nascent body, who
wish to develop, administrate and
nurture a youth group. In our best
consideration, we have gladly offered
this chance a place within the Frón,
with a mild economic yoke, so as to
attract the widest possible member-
ship from our budding generation.
This youthful arm plans to meet
on scheduled occasions at the
Scandinavian Centre, provide oppor-
tunities for growth in the contexts
and knowledge of Icelandic culture,
offer a receptive social environment,
and establish an agenda specific to
their needs.
We on the executive of the Frón
warmly welcome this appreciated
development, and encourage all read-
ers to extend an invitation to any
potential candidate, whether it be a
child, grandchild, niece, nephew,
cousin or friend, to entertain this
happy prospect, from which we may
better ensure our sustainable future,
and hope to enrich all who venture
forth in this cause, in the ways pre-
scribed above.
All curious souls may contact the
Frón at 764 Erin Street, R3G 2W4, or
may give me a call at 831-7284, and I
can put you in touch with the appro-
priate people.
Please join and support us in this
exciting prospect by communicating
this opportunity to any worthy advo-
cate, wherein worth is a measure of
personal interest without further con-
sideration.
Let’s hope that, with your assis-
•tance, we can increase the success of
this happy venture.

In memory
Enclosed is a cheque for $100.00

Erla Macaulay, Sylvia Brown and
Evelyn Allen.
S.K. Hall was our grandmother’s
nephew. Her name was Olina Johnson

Steini had a quarter of land next to the
Johnsons and they were very close all
their lives.
Yours truly,
