Calgary Woman Heads Rockies Trail Hikers

BANFF-- Mrs. Irene Lamar of Calgary was appointed president of the Skyline Trail Hikers of the Canadian Rockies at the association's 20th annual meeting, which concluded one of the most successful camps in its history.
Mrs. Lamar, who has been a member of the council and an active hiker for several seasons, succeeds Dr. A. Somerville of Edmonton, who this year headed the band of some 50 members over the timberline trails in the vicinity of Healy Creek, south of Banff.
THE FIVE-DAY camp, which was favored with ideal weather from the time the hikers left Banff by bus for their trailhead on Aug. 2 until their return late today, was attended by members from many parts of Canada and the United States. A few members of the Alpine Club joined the hikers ranks, after leaving their camp at Mount Assiniboine.
F. H. W. Chanter of Nelson, B.C., and Miss Jean Galbraith of Lethbridge, were elected vice-presidents, while Miss M. P. Hendrie, Calgary, Miss Anne Fallis, Lethbridge, and Sir Oliver Wheeler of Vernon, B.C., were all re-elected to the vice-presidential post.
ADDED TO the executive committee were Miss Evelyn Boyd, Shelburne, Ont., Mrs. L. C. Wolfenden, Toronto, and Miss Lillian Gest, Merion, Pa. New council members elected were Miss Kay Watson, Calgary; Miss Mary Lore, Calgary; Miss Jerry Siegfried, Wichita, Kansas; Ian C. Somerville, Willow Grove, Pa.; Dr. G. M. Everett, Chicago, Ill.; Peter Vallance, Calgary and Mrs. W. M. Pecover, nee Shirley Rourke of Calgary.
