I PROVINCIAL ] T.W'E E . By .- BILL SUTHERLAND Editor, The Coast News, I HAVE jus.t returned from al week spent in the interior where I met two of the most foolhardy drivers, a blizzard, a crap game, roa:1s like skating .rinks and memories of bygone years. Of . ail these), things, the memories were best. For those of you who like to. take a little fling in the market I brought back a fair Tip from deep in the mountain , chain surrounding Retallac��� buy Viola Mack. According to men who know base metals best it's Viola; Mack to go f better than three for one.. The two drivers I mentioned are named Irwin Butcher and Jim Trainor. They drive that s/Kaslo - New Denver goat trail, in blinding snow and howling wind on glassy roads with drops of 2.000,ft, nudging them every inch of the wayr Taxi drivers, they are used | to dangers of the trail and the /"help" of miners who.have ; drunk not wisely but exceptionally well-froni the brewer's /point of yiew.

This paper has never recieved any invitation to debate. There is no intention on the part of the (publishers "to- argue in public what should properly \- and we assure you that it will - be debated on the floor of the House of Parliament .during next session. . \ To our not so limited knowledge in these matters it has never, and it cannot be, the duty of anyone on a paper's staff to defend, either verbally or with muscle the attitude of the paper. ��� A paper is an entity, with a mind of its own. It is something in a community which is beyond and bigger than any of the publishers or employees. It may be imagined what influence a coerced paper would have on a community - how little good it could do if it were suspect of fear or prejudice. We seriously doubt Mr Sinclair's intent to challenge any member of the paper's staff to a.debate on something which he knows is foolish. We have a letter* on, file wherein he tells the Coast News that warves are on the way out, so it is harly to be believed.he would want to discuss something upon which both the Coast News and Mr Sinclair agree on paper. If challenge there was, we suppose it is about Mr Sinclair's threat to cancel advertising for this paper. v Fdr the" very Tew people whVhave not already made irpntheir minds on this matter, we can always^ reprint the letter - it speaks volumes in itself.- We take this opportunity of' offering James Sinclair full license to these pages - including the front- for his views, if he should feel that the Coast News has been unfair. Harsh, we may have been. Harsh we may again be. But honest we will always attempt to be. Mr Sinclair is welcome to> this paper in- order to give a wider spread to his view. We believe he is entitled to that. We are also> of the belief we are entitled to criticize our public ffgures without having to immediately send forth an employee as sacrifice to a hurt persons ego'. School Board Beaten uous Orders GIBSONS. The -School Board is in a quandary. Faced with a directive from Victoria regarding submission of estimates from the coming year, both the Board and Inspector C. Frederickson find themselves unable to understand the meaning or intent of the letter. Sinclair Will Discuss Much At Many Local Meetings GIBSONS. James Sinclair M.P..will address a series of meetings along the Peninsula in order to discuss matters of import to the nation and to this area. -, Half moon Bay will be the first gathering place when .the popular M.P. will address interested persons in Redroots Hall, Monday at 8 P.M. . .Next port of call will be a meeting, sponsored by the Sechelt and District Liberal Association in the Legion Hall at S p.m. January 16. On January 17 -he is slated to discuss .several matters of local interest,; in BaPs Hall at 8 p.m. '., According to Seehelt Liberal ���Association President Captain Andrew Johnston, Mr Sinclair has spoken at several gatherings throughout the Coast - Capilano riding.

According to the Department of Education, the local board must' submit estimates' which carry the figures $84,547. The Board is not aware of where this ambigous figure is supposed to appear. Closest comparative figure from last year's estimates is 'the sum requisitioned by ,the Board 'amounting to $99,410. said a Board spokesman. '"How we can come even close to that figure this year is beyond*- us.

Objection by an unnamed Vancouver group, to the sale by; Gibson Brothers of Sea Bus Lines to Vancouver Dock Company, may delay start of the car ferry service from Horseshoe Bay to Gibsons. A public hearing on the question of extending present ipasscn-ger carrying franchise- of Sea Bus Lines to include vehicular traffic is slated for the, nealr f >afture, according to information from Vancouver, It is believed objection to Vancouver Dock Company's application for an extended franchise, will be raised by the group Ayhich had been in the car ferry negotiations and had then, to all intents and purposes dropped out. The fact that Public Utilities Commission has not yet authorized, sale of Sea Bus Lines to Victoria Dock Company further complicates the picture. The Victoria company now has a ship in Vancouver harbour, which, following regulation changes, could be. used as the car erry. Various boards of trade throughout ���"the Peninsula are. rumoured !ito he considering taking a stand oh the question. which so vitally concerns this area. Appointment of W. G.

The School Board Aviil reconsider the whole water problem "at once". 2 The Coast News ' Thursday January 11 1951 Simple Simoh The Gar Ferry NEWS THAT all is not well with the car ferry deal is probably the most disheartening and disconcerting it has been our lot to swallow. According to. information, the Victoria Dock Company bought the passenger carrying franchise of Sea Bus Lines. And it is believed the Machigonne is now under charter to the dock company. This is what makes the new move so hard to understand. We realize and defend the right of any organization to have a public hearing on -such an important matter as this car ferry will be. Public Utilities Commission, our watchdog in these matters, will probably call the hearing during t,he last few days of this month. This means delay, - something which, now, would just about break the wave of optimism aand revived feeling of progress which has swept this area. It is hard to understand the reason behind this move of the unnamed group. Nearly four months ago, the same organization started the ball rolling on the ferry question but then, as far as Victoria and the publicj ;werc concerned, the matter was. dropped. Victoria Dock Company was in the picture at the same time but this concern actually bought out Sea Bus Lines which practically corrals the passenger jtraffic between Gibsons and Horseshoe Bay. The company brings in at least one ship,first part of a $3 million investment in the project, prepares to start operation - it is unreasonable to believe it was doing all these things without at least tacit approval from Victoria, and now this second group wishes to get into the act. It is still not a fact that the Victoria Dock Company will have to apply to ,the Commission- for a vehicle carrying license. An extension of the present franchise in order to cover wheeled vehicles could be sufficient. This is a matter vital to every person on the Sechelt Peninsula and our neighbours to the north in the pulp and paper townships. We cannot too strongly urge every concerned board of trade to roll up its sleeves and get down ito business in finding out 'the truth and also assuring that.this area's interest be- properly aired at the coming Public Utilities Commission hearing. . At the hearing there will be two interested parties, the Victoria Dock Company and the group desirous of getting the franchise. It is absolutely essential that the most concerned - residents of this area - be represented at least by someone with a watching brief. ��� ' We would suggest that an executive meeting of all boards should delegate a representative in order to draw a brief which could be aired >at the P.U.C. meeting if such were necessary. It is hardly politic for us to/take-sides in this fight which , seems "to be shaping up between the giants. But it is politic for us to watch and protect our own interests. This latter should be done with more vehemence than some of our boards have shown in the past. ���! i Gibsons Board of Trade clan certainly do with a good jolt. It of all Boards, should lead the way in this matter, but irrespective of who leads, it is imperative that we have at least two. spokesmen at the meeting. It may be well to remember that Powell River and its adjacent municipalities tare more than casually interested in this, deal. The various interested groups in that area should also be represented at the hearing. This is probably the most important, event in the long ye'ars of our history. It would be ' nothing less than a crime against our own children if we were to leave this car ferry quarrel to resolve itself. - It is our duty to posterity to take more; than a passing interest. v If ever there has been a time for a wide 'awake, concerted effort, led by fighting delegations from aroused trade bodies, it is now. For once in our lives/'let us do enough before it is too late. c��� ��7u��<;*v4 -57 NOW is heating time V- . *:���''-���'������**���> ���$���'1 i f -<* ijrci Ken Alexander Talks On Russia GIBSONS.

We get our most useful timber out of average sized trees of 2 to 3 ft. in diameter, which is natural in the sense of their being in prime growth. The clear lumber out of such a tree is rather valuable as its uses due to the peculiarities of its structure are far too numerous to mention here. It should be mentioned here too that not more than 10 to 15 percent clear is a general ithing in most of the trees cut. The run of commons that we get are what is most generaally used in house bu'lding and its natural sulphur yellow color has quits an effect if measures are taken to preserve it by varnishing or some such preservative. The 'natural color fades gradually to a dull gray, but only after quite a lapse of time. There are a few local wood hobbyists who value it very highly, and some of their creations are to be highly commended. I am sure they, would not object to my mentioning at least two of the foremost, Mr P. Downes of Roberts Creek, and Mr T. Turner of Davis Bay.

In [this critical period of the next year, before the"United 'Nations have built up strength to curb agression in the world, we must be well informed as to the extent of the industrial strength of the U.S.S.R. and the countries associated with them. It is amazng to see in our great daily papers, the information that Russia cannot carry on any extended military agression because of tthe lack of oil. This writer wishes to ���make plain that any statement, \ of this nature is wishful thinking on the part of anyone and it will do no good to hope for a collapse of Russian armed forces as happened to Germany through lack of oil. Here are the latest figures we have, on the U.S.S.R. production for the first half of the year of 1950. Some 132.7 million barrels of crude oil compared with a production capacity of 113;7 for the first half of 1949, an increase'of 19 million barrels.

Our hearing is none too good* and if the roar and confusion of the attending small children could be subdued, we might more appreciate what is being said and done. When Mrs Haslam spoke at a Roberts Creek concert recently, the kitchen door occasionally opened and the roar of the ill bred mob sounded like a well filled beer parlour. Another thing the .

You have expressed a wish that maitters of public interest be discussed in your columms, and I am now adopting this method of directing the attention of the citizens of Gibsons to the important subject of "Zoning" particularly in view of the promise of improved transportation facilities at an early date, which will in my opinion, make Gibsons the distribution, centre for Howe Sound Peninsula, a condition that we are not too well prepared for at the present moment. I understand that Sechelt, which is not an organized village, has a restricted district for commercial purposes. Gibsons ratepayers association urged the Villalge Commission I Thursday Januarv 11 1951 The Coast News to consider adopting aZoning By-Law. The Commission is still giving it consideration. With the expansion of the Village boundaries, and the advent ofs the Blackball Ferry, the necessity and need for a reasonable zoning by-law in this Village, whereby business people will know where they can be permitted to locate new businesses, without having to contend with criticism from adjoining home owners, and where home owners who invest money in _hom.es can be given necessary protection against devaluation of their property 'as the result of commercial activities, surely there can be little real objection to such procedure. If anything is to be done in this matter ihen there should be no further delay in the Village Commission taking action, and I am filing a resolution with the Village Clerk asking that the subject of "Zoning" be dealt with at the next meeting of the Commission, on Wednesday, January 17 at 7 p.m. Pending passing * of a bylaw, the Village Commission ha's the legal right to refuse applications for a trade license by new applicants, providing unanimous in its decision.
