Maynard Dubois of Kleindale stepped between two logs to pick up his lunch after a full morning's work on his logging' claim one day last week. Hearing a nasty yowl, he looked up to see the overgrown pussy-cat not more than ten feet from the same lunch, and entertaining thoughts similar to own. Using his old school rugby tactics, Mr. Dubois quickly passed to the rear, around behind the log, and out to-the front;,, Mr. Cougar was unimpressed and stood his ground. Reverting quickly to a game of hide and seek, but keeping the log between him and the possible fur rug. Maynard was pleased to note the kitten wouldn't play childish games and with a patting- snarl it stomped away in disgust. BIRTHS BISSONETTE���To Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Bissonette, Selma Park, a son. KING--To Mr. and Mrs. W.C? Jervis Endorse met Loggers ospita erne LOGGERS and camp crews of the Niemi Logging Company at Jervis Inlet have signed up for the Columbia Coast Mission's hospital scheme . 100 percent, according to a news release from Dr. Leo Freisen, who recently visited the logging camp in company with William Pieper of Irving's Landing. During the visit, Dr. Friesen explained to the loggers the. broad principles of the hospital insurance contract. The benefits to be derived from membership in the scheme were acclaimed at the meeting and all members of the logging organization joined en masse. Basically the scheme works similar to the principal of an juT- surance firm, whereby a large number of people . contributing regularly to a central hospital pool, are assured of constant hospital service. NEED MORE MEMBERS pital free to give the best service it can. "The treatment expenses would be covered by the income from other members." When queried, the doctor said that roughly it could be called a co-operative hospital scheme. "In the army we never worry about cost," Mr. Freisen said, "we find out what service a man needs, and give it to him. One of my first patients here was a young logger. I knew that he needed a certain set of treatments and hospital service. When he was being discharged from the hospital, the secretary presented him a bill of $240. No logger can afford that more than once a year at the very most, yet who is to say that he won't be back next month with an entirely different trouble of suffering from blood-poison or accident?"* Under the scheme now in op- "However" warned the doctor* eration he pays only the month- 'it needs 1000 members to get the best results, and when you realize we only have around 300, you appreciate the work that has yet to be done to put this thing on a paying basis." In interview with a Coast News reporter, Dr. Freiseji pointed out that ,the viawerage ly bill and a reasonable fraction of the medicine. The scheme covers the doctor's and hospital charges For the information of those interested in this scheme, the rates are as follows: Single person, $1.25 pjsr tnpnth; parried y, couple, $2.50; :ar^;r��p6rted^as^ :i��rMle#m^f*^^ ^iwy'tfrt��if yffiffiwntic^Tn ^yf^/i^)r^ * W;in^ ��rW^ w c,i^fl��1v ��n��/ic ?j.uu per montn. able iri- preisentatibh"* arM great JEFFERiEfe-^Ti6 .^^^yfaxiS^-M^ " is faced when he suddenly needs hopes have been expressed f<*r Janes Jefferies, Egmont, an 8 the club's first public perform- pound son at St. Mary's Hos- ance. pital, Feb, 12. and is unprepared PROGRAM STARTED Garden Bay School Children Inoculated treatment, for it.

It should be noted by those wishing to take membership: that the next period commences on April 1st, and new applicants should apply 2 weeks prior to this date. Mrs. W. A. Houston, Aged 75, Passes at EIGHTEEN school children from Silver Sands school received preliminary innoculations last week in the Brackendale first part of a recent program started by the staff of Garden Bay hospital in an attempt to provide modern medical protection to children of school age. The staff of the hospital expressed great appreciation to Mr. Scrtt of Wilf Scott's ��� Transfer for his efforts in transporting the children from the school to the hospital and back to school again. It is understood that this one step was but the first'of a series, and already plans are underway to treat children from schools in and around Pender Harbour and Jervis Inlet. The hospital staff pointed out in interview that their time and euipment is quite limited for work of the scale such as they have recently taken on, but expressed hope that most of the schools in their area could be served in the next two or three months with careful and full co-operation of school boarcls and transportation facilities. It was pointed out that the only feasible way of doing the work is to bring the whole school population at once to the hospital, as individual innoculations would run a very expend sive bill. In some cases it may be necessary to serve one or two of the more isolated school districts from'the Coast Mission Hospital boat, but it is understood that this craft already is Overtaxed. Innoculations of this nature are usually for diphtheria, typhoid or scarlet fever, and if plans of the hospital reach maturity it is expected that children from this area wtfl receive protection from these scourges. HONEYMOONING at Hardy Island during the past two weeks have been Mr. and Mrs. Richard B. Burgeson of Geneva, Illinois. Mrs. Burgeson is the neice of Mr. Chris Sandvold, with whom they have been visiting. On Friday, Feb 15, 1946 at her residence Mrs. Rose Marie Houston, wife of William Houston of Brackendale passed away. Mrs. Houston was seventy-five years of age. She was born on Vancouver Island but had been a resident of Squamish Valley for thirty-two years. She leaves to mourn her passing her husband, three sons, Fred and Ernest of West Vancouver and William of Hope; three daughters, Mrs. eJ. L. Cor- res at Hollyburn, Mrs. S.

ONE OF the important items in raising rabbits as a paying hobby is the building of a suitable hutch or pen. A comfortable pen makes for the contentment of the rabbit. We should bear in mind when building a pen, that plenty of light and' fresh air as well as ample space for exercise is necessary. The following brief description will enable the beginner to start off right. Pens should be 4'x2'x2\ Covered with one inch wire on all sides, top and bottom. 3-4 inch wire for the bottom of the pen is preferrable, but one linch wire serves well enough during the present wire shortage. A tray to catch the dropping under the pen may be made of galvanized sheeting or some other waterproof material. This system is a real time saver in cleaning ahd provides very healthy surroundings for the rabbits. The tray may be movable or placed on a slant so all refuse will fall into a trough along the front or back of the pen. These are numerous ideas on this subject, and the writer will give more detailed information on request. For those wishing to raise rabbits but have very little space, an excellent method is to build your pens on the tier system, That is, two or three pens, one above the other. It is amazing how many rabbits can be cared for in this manner with only a few minutes daily attention. The famous chin-chin giant Chinchilla of gray with blue underfur makes an attractive and valuable pelt. It is very interest to watch the changes in fur texture and coloring when the pelt is priming. There is always a ready market for chin-chin pelts as these furs when velvetized by the fur trade, closely resembles the genuine chin-chilla.

Sir Lancelot: "Four cents an ounce, Sire. It's first-class mail." HIGHLAND FLING A spinster, whose heart was in good works, happened to be on the dock when a transport full of Highlanders began its journey to France on D-Day. To a cute-looking flapper who was waving the Highlanders a cheery good-bye, he said: "I think it's a shame to send all those Highlanders to France. Whatever will the poor boys do there?" "What'll they do?" replied the flapper. "Ain't you ever been out with a Kiltie?" ONE FOR ALL A passenger on board ship found that he had left his tooth-brush in the washroom. Returning to recover it, he found a man using it. "Sir," he exclaimed in amazement, "that is my brush you are using!" "Oh," replied the man apologetically, "I'm so sorry. I thought it belonged to the boat." PAGE G. B. SHAW "What's your name?" asked the Colonel of the new recuit, just arrived at Aldershot from his native Glasgow. "Pa'erson, sirr," said the private. "What did you say your name was?" the Colonel asked again. "Pa'erson," repeated the lad, "with two t's, sirr." HOW TO GET SLIM The veteran felt that he was getting too stout, so he consulted his doctor. "The finest, way to get thin," the doctor told him, "is to shake the head slowly and deliberately." "How often should I do that?" asked the vet. "Every time your pals ask you to have a drink," replied the medico.

WE HEARTILY congratulate the hospital staff on their announcement this week of a big increase of membership in their hospital benefits plan. Sufficient reasons are given in the story of the plan accompanying the announcement to make all residents in the area served by this all important link of humanity not only once, but repeatedly of what they can do unitedly to help themselves in the line of medicar service. Too often these days do we hear com- * plaints of inaction on the part of the government (and many of the complaints are quite justifiable), but it does us good to take stock once in a while to consider our own lackadaisical attitude towards our problems. ; Medical and hospital service is a prime essential in this area. United, we can lower the costs of service to the level of average (and below average) pocketbooks. By the simple step of inquiring into the plan proposed by the staff of the hospital at Garden Bay, and signing the pledge membership card we can ensure continuation of the plan. Without Wax By H. W. BROOKER X '% TIME AND again, attempts have been made in the Sechelt district to ogranize a group of citizens in some particular club of interest and benefit to us all. What happens? After a flurry of meetings i by well meaning people, the majority of these clubs gradually fade away and are heard of no ' more. Why?���Lack of unity and understanding between the leaders and the members is the general cause. In most cases we elect a few people to office who have had no previous experience in leadership or organization. -This thoughtless and foolish^practice alone is enough to jeopardize any organization. Then again, we have "seat warmers", those of us who take no ' active interest in the meetings. Oh yes, we enjoy criticizing the general plan of things, but are not offering a helping hand by assisting and working along with our fellow rnembers. Taking a part in any group is a serious matter, and every person ,in or out of office is responsible for its success. The -following pre-requisites are most important to all of us who are sincere in building a group of people into a useful and happy band of co-workers, social, educational or recreational. ' 1. Belief. Genuine belief in the organization makes for success in the contact with others. 2. Confidence. An important element iri personal influence is confidence. 3. Enthusiasm. 4.1nsight. The control of others demands ability to penetrate their motives, and discover their talents. 5. Co-operation. Permanent influence over others flows from the enlistment of their strength. 6. Self-mastery. The secret of controlling others lies in the moral mastery of self. If we are not masters of ourselves, how can we expect to lead or guide others? How much we achieve in developing a real community in Sechelt depends upon how much we deserve one. This truth embraces many things which the objectors will not see. Too many of us mistake what we desire for what we< deserve. Yes, we desire a community centre. But do we deserve one? Think it over. In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior.���Anonymous ��ke Coast Jfews Published Every Friday .. by The Coast News Limited Registered office���Powell River, B.C.

NOT MUCH in the way of events to talk about down here this week, but Powell Rivfer sport teams are still breaking the lines. Ye editors drop a tip my way that Pender Harbour Badminton club held their monthly American tournament Friday, Feb. 22. Prizes were taken by Elsie Lee and Jim Cameron. The Powell River high school received it's severest jolt in years when it was knocked out of the Vancouver tournament in the first round. Powell River high school dropped a heart-breaker to old rivals Duke of donnatight, be ing 41-39 against P.R. at the last bell. Vancouver Gibson's, leader in its circuit, took the All Stars 21-20 in a weird game that saw P.R. 10-0 ahead at the end of the first quarter. The high school game was particularly tough because the team was making a name for itself in the school league, taking easily all-comers to date except the Duke of Connaught, (which was defeated only in the finals by Vancouver College). Till ye sports reporters up and down the coast awake and send in those reports, we'll call it time for the night. V.O.N. Axillary Valentine Tea Very Successful A VALENTINE tea, sponsored by Sechelt V.O.N. Auxiliary and held in the team room recently was very successful, the sum of $40 being realized. The decora- . tion followed the usual Valentine motif and the High School girls acted as serviteurs. / Genevieve Wood, Yvonne Brooker, Elaine Gowland and Margo Vint wore red heart- shaped caps and aprons. The Committee consisted of Mrs. Abe Gray, Mrs. R. Molloch, Mrs. G. Powell, Mrs. E. Clayton and Mrs. Froom. The president of the group, Mrs. C.

The Woman's Auxiliary to the Legion for baby outfit won by Mrs. A. Grey and glasses donated by Mrs. Froom. Also to Mr. Fred Archer who was a very great help at the time. Provincial Bodies Endorse U.B.C. Memorial Plan ENDORSEMENT of the $500,000 University of British Columbia War Memorial Gymnasium Campaign sponsored by a joint studentralumni committee has been pledged by nearly every recreational and service organization in the province, according to Frank Turner, secretary- treasurer of the UBC Alumni Association. The campaign has entered its third week. A circular letter petitioning support to the gymnasium campaign will be sent out to ajj provincial legion branches* by the branch 72, University branch Canadian Legion here by president Tony Greer, and second vice-president Grant Livingstone. The 162nd battalion of the First World" War has requested brochures and information on the drive. Ed Temoin, vice-president of the B. C. branch of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada, passed a resolution at a meeting "moving the support of all athletic bodies in the Amateur Athletic Union providing complete support for the University of British Columbia gymnasium drive." The motion was carried unanimously. Safe-Crackers Unsuccessful Using tools, which they had taken from the establishment's hardware department, would-be cracksmen last weekend made an unsuccessful attempt to force open the Powell Stores office safe. Entrance to the store was gained through a broken win- down facing the alley between the Government building (which houses the local Provincial Police office) and the store itself. Tools used in the attempted safe-cracking, which was discovered by Manager A. H. Florence when he opened the store Monday- morning, included drills, hacksaws, a hammer, a punch and a crowbar. The cracksmen apparently tried to drill into the front of the safe and, failing thai, dragged; the safe away from the wall and tried to jimmy the back off with the crowbar. This too, was unsuccessful, and the yeggs, either giving it up for a bad job, or possibly being scared off by the night watchman, made their exit through the delivery door at the rear of the store. Apart from the tools," nothing in the store was touched, but a cash drawer in the office was pried open. Several dollars in coppers was left untouched, the men apparently being after bigger loot. When contacted by the News, local police officials stated that it did not appear to be the job of professional safe-crackers. The matter is being investigated. Vancouver Boy Is Sought Here The Powell River and District Red Cross branch has been contacted today by parents of Robert Martin, 13, of Vancouver, who has been missing since Ictboer 29. The young lad, who left for school the morning of Oct. 29, has not been heard of since then and a reward of $50 has been posted for information leading to the boy's whereabouts. Parents of the boy believe that he is vjorking on some farm and have extended their. ��� sarch to include rural areas and industrial towns such as Powell River. When last seen the boy was wearing a red shirt, wine colored sweater, brown windbreaker with blu checks, black denim. pants, black shoes and socks. He is five feet four inches tall. Anyone seeing the lad is asked to phone the local police. ROBERTS CREEK A. N." COTTON, Correspondent Mrs. J. Kirkland is spending a month in Vancouver.

Root, ' parents of the world travelling William Gordon Root, Vancouver Daily Province war correspondent, are at present visiting Garden Bay, where Mr. Root is assisting on surve ywork in connection with a subdivision being planned around the Garden Bay cafe and beer parlor. . Their reporter son has recently completed a world tour which started last year with the Victoria legislature coverage. Then he reported on the military disturbance at Terrace B. C, about a year ago. Mr. Root Jr. had only a 40-minute notice to prepare himself for the airplane ride to Terrace to observe the disturbance. COVERED CONFERENCE Next stop on his tour was the job of covering the Dominion- Provincial conference at Ottawa last year, after which he trav elled to Quebec to interview early repats. There he joined a party of three newsmen and ten military officers for a survey trip over the battlefields of the world. He went from Labadour to Scotland to England, (including one night in London); then continued on his special plane, over France and Italy, with - some stops around the Mediterranean and into Cairo. ' Continuing to India, the party had a chance to observe native problems in Karachi and Calcutta. (Bill Root apparently had little sympathy with the professional beggars, who swarm on the streets and slept in doorways to make sure they would be on the job early next morning. SAW MANILLA "Manila was pretty well bombed to pieces," reported Mr. Root's son as their party passed through that city on &�� tour that took in Tokyo and the| British hospital cases on Guam,! where Bill Root has some very| interesting interviews withj'j Pacific force patients that got| the rough end of the fighting.^ The tour ended when they re-;| turned to Manila for a second! look at the city.

'1 B. C. AGRICULTURE Great in War, Must Be Greater Still in Peace. Our TO be truly great, British Columbia's 1946 Production Programme will see the production of those foods for which there is the greatest world need. Direction in that production comes from two world-wide bodies: (a) The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, an emergency organization which is attempting to supply all immediate and pressing needs for food; and (b) The Food and Agricultural Organization which is a permanent body and plans future food production and distribution on a world-wide basis. Reconciling the direction given by these bodies with export credits, trade agreements and firm contracts, the pominion-Provinciid Agncul- iural Conference at Ottawa in December last made certain recommendations which summarized are: , 5% increase in Dairy Butter; 2% increase in Milk; 100% and upward increase in alfalfa, alsike, and red clover seeds; and, for British Columbia, 1,000 acre increase in potato planting. During the war British Columbia gained for itself a good name for top quality seeds, foods, and all produce from its farm^ and orchards. With a forward look into future years and bigger business, every agriculturist, every citizen should work to ensure that this high standard is maintained.

GOOD QUALITY���FAIR PRICES Open Letter Whiskey Slough, (Pender Harbor), Feb. 28, 1946 All 'Members of Parliament, Ottawa, B. C. Attention Jimmy Sinclair. Dear Sirs: Yesterday was my mother's > birthday, and she lives at Halfmoon Bay which is about 30 miles south of Sechelt, and 10,000 miles from Ottawa. I ^m not a very well man and do not like to move around very much, otherwise I should have gone down to see her, or written a letter and walked over one of our provincial government trails two miles to the nearest store to mail the letter. However, the letter would have had , to go from the store across a half mile of water in the most magnificent harbor in the world, and waited for the Union boat to Vancouver. After the letter had come out of the Union Boat office in Vancouver, it would have gone through all departments of the Vancouver post office, and then it would have been put back on the boat for Halfmoon Bay. The postmaster at Pender Harbour sent it to Vancouver y because it had one of those three cent stamps that somebody inflated one cent a coupla years ago (personally, I don't care if it was a.cent) so long as I/get what I want out of it; but more of that another time). Anyways, it would have taken at least two days and maybe a week for my mother to get her letter, and that would have been too late because I didn't remember it was her birthday yesterday until the day before. Besides, she can't read.' Gentlemen, I wish I had a phone. If I had a phone I could have phoned my mother to wish her happy birthday, but yl haven't a phone and neither has she. We don't own postoffices or hospitals or stores and they are the only ones allowed to have them down here. Now, I could have gone to the store and phoned to the other store across the harbor and they could have phoned to Sechelt if the line wasn't down again and nobody was using it, and Sechelt could have phoned to the store at Halfmoon Bay if all eight of the phones that Halfmoon Bay is allowed to have, * were not in use (because of course they are all on one line, and you can only use one at a time, if the lines aren't down. I don't mind paying the 30 cents or so for the thirty mujes or so the message travels and I don't mind the five cents Halfmoon Bay store might charge for sending somebody to the top of the twb-mile-long hill to tell my mother that she is wanted on the phone, but I do wish that she' was allowed to have a phone, even if it is out of order half the time. . I guess the people up here can't get phones, or phone service. You know why, don't you Jimmy? You said in a letter to the Coast- News last fall that you had told somebojdy or other in Ottawa about it and that they had made you a lot of promises' or something, and I see that they are now putting in a new line.
