Grants and revenue from the Power Commission and incidental taxes is expected to bring the total to $6500. This is more money in the treasury but less from the actual tax source. Boarding Schools May Appear GIBSONS ���- Boarding schools may this year appear on the Sechelt Peninsula in order to assure older students an opportunity to complete schooling. Robert Leith, school trustee, suggested the noval idea at a recent meeting . of the school board, and received unreserved approval. Plans are now under way to fulfilling the idea, born because pupils in grades 10 and il are without education facilities here.

' ' P * 'r Gibsons May Get First Fire Hall GIBSONS���This village may at last have a fire hall as well as a new fire brigade. Clifford Leach, newly appointed fire brigade leader, placed plans for the proposed 16 x 40 foot building before village council and was assured sympathy in his aims. It is expected the green light will be given to start construction at next council meeting. The sum of $1000 has already been set aside for this purpose and $500 more is earmarked from another source.

Voting Date Not Set $530,000SchoolsGiven Okay; Gov't Pays HaU SECHELT���Unqualified approval for new schools costing $530,000 was given Board of School Trustees, School District 46, at a meeting of representa- -tives, Saturday. CostXto ratepayers will be in the neighborhood of $265,000. This is less than the previous bylaw which was, after passing, discarded by the Supreme Court of B.C. in an unprecedented action brought on by Howe Sound ratepayers in appealing- the bylaw on technical grounds. The new bill provides for added schools costing $32,500 at Billings Bay and Egmont. Slashes have been made iri some of the previously planned schools. Actual reduction from the previous bylaw amounts to $76,500 plus the two new units. Voting- date will be set following expected approval from the ���Department oi. Education. '<|t_ is . within the- minister's powers to stop or suggest changes in the bylaw. Nearly 50 percent of the gross costs is borne by the department. A breakdown of the new bylaw follows: Gibsons High School was $360,- 800���now $292,600. Roberts Creek was $77,200^-riow $44,550. Sechelt Addition was $34,600-r-now $31,200. Madeira Park was$92,�� 700���now $94,050. Billings Bay, new, $7500. Egmont, new, $25,- 000. School sites will cost $2300 for the addition to Gibsons and $500 for the Egmont site. m Equipment amounts to $31,500. Last year it was slightly lower, at $31,490. Cost of the printing and debenture issuing will bring the total to $530,000. It was decided, to have fully informative meetings throughout the Peninsula in order to bring home the seriousness of the schooling situation. S. Fladager Elected President S. FLADAGER was elected president of Branch 109, Canadian Legion, at the general meeting held in Legion Hall. Other officers are: First vice- president, R. M. Inglis; second vice-president, W. Gray; secretary, E. G. Sergeant; treasurer, A. C. Burls; assistant secretary, D. Abrams; sergeant at arms, J. T. Filley; executive, J. Schutz, R. Macnicoll, N. McKay, R. E1-' liot, J: Gordon, R. Fitchett and Dr H. Inglis. It was disclosed that the branch has repaid the $100 which has been missing from the poppy fund. It was also decided to offer instruction, to the junior auxiliary in woodwork, mechanics, signalling and photography. Team sports will also be organized. Smart Kids are These Moderns PORT MELLON ���Students of this day are much smarter than their fathers were. Pupils here sent $53.35 to the school board with the request the money be spent on buying them a clock, microscope, record cabinet and some records. Sechelt students are also wise to the ways of school boards. They sent in $60 for an encyclopedia. Board Chairman Mrs Jackson was forced to comment: "I wish their parents could see their way to emulate the youngsters. More power to the students." School Trustees Receive Surprise GIBSONS ��� School trustees received a pleasant surprise (very few came their way during recent budget discussions) when the local branch of the Bank of Montreal assured it would not collect the 15 percent exchange rate. Bank \manager John Theed pointed out that an exception would be made in the school board's behalf. He advised that special cheques should be made out marked "Negotiable without charge." Secretary Mrs Anne Burns revealed new, "nice, pinky cheques are now on order." Canadian Legion Vote Confidence SECHELT ��� The Canadian Legion, Branch 140, gave a resounding vote of confidence to last year's slate of officers by re-electing them. They are: President, Harry Sawyer: secretary for the thirteenth time, W. J. Mayne; treasurer, J. Gowan; first vice-president, Andy Johnston; chaplain, W. Elliott; sergeant at arms, Tommy Mutter. The executive committee consists- bf the following: George Batchelor, Dr Duncan McColl, George Wright, S. Brookman, H. Roberts. Trustees are R. S. Hackett, Mr Burgess and C. Brookman. Zone officers are H. Sawyer, C. Brookman, L. Hansen, Jack Gowan, T. Mutter and W. J. Mayne. A zone meeting will be held March 1 when officers from all over the Peninsula will be in attendance and it is hoped that Batt Maclntyre, MLA, will be able to come with the Powell River delegation. cerned," commented Trustee A. E. Ritchey. Mr Leith suggested that large summer homes could easily be converted into boarding houses for what he roughly estimated as being eight or ten students. He disclosed that several students are even now continuing school���mostly repetitive work ���waiting for this plan to be put to use rather than stopping school. "There is a definite need for this type of answer to our schooling problem," said Mrs L. S. Jackson, board chairman. "I'm certainly glad Mr Leith brought this up," Colonel Burnett stated. "The department (Department of Education) will be behind this. It will pay a portion of the boarding costs, probably in the neighborhood of seven dollars per month, the School Board, will also meet part of the cost, which will leave much less for parents." Mr Leith pointed out that the high cost of boarding students in Vancouver ^was 'against "rilariy potential pupils here. Another point made was the lack of facilities, both buildings and teachers, for these classes in the Pender Harbour and Madeira Park areas. Present proposals are for the boarding schools to be located at Gibsons, near the present high school. Pupils would attend this school but board, under strict discipline, in the suggested homes. Mr Leith also gave credit to school teacher Miss McKay of Pender Harbour when he intimated she now gives much of her own time to tutoring pupils in conjunction with correspondence courses from the Department of Education. It was suggested that most pupils now in need of the plan will come from the Pender Harbour area but it does not mean to exclude pupils from any area desiring higher education. Heat's On Soon SCHOOL Board recently decided to invest $800 in a new furnace for Gibsons Elementary School. The old one has been condemned. A. E. Ritchey estimated the new type would have 25 percent increased efficiency. Bus Drivers Lauded For Careful Handling AN APPLICATION will be made by the school board to the pubj lie works department requesting particular pains be taken in scraping ice off the Gower Point hill. ' Discussion at the meeting centred around a letter from o resident complaining of the school bus driver "Crowding nearly twenty kids into a seven-passenger car." It was pointed out this would . - be quite a trick as there never has been that number of children, or even half that amount, living in the area. But just in case there should be any question of safety, Mrs L. S. Jackson proposed the Public Works Department be approached with a view to making the long hill as safe as possible for school vehicles. Trustee N. H. Hough lauded the drivers for refusing to take their heavy vehicles down 3KHAH3S grade during recent stormy weather. "Our children's lives are far more important than a saving of a few yards in walking," he said. "When these drivers refused to drive down that slippery hill they were doing the correct thing." 0 a vihoioia Header's Higltt ������Letters To The Ediiox IT IS QUITE difficult to follow the; declaration from that hotbed of political poltroonery, Gambier Harbour.

THIRTEENTH, NINETEEN FIFTY Hoarding ��elMi*$l�� Necessity ROBERT LEITH is to be congratulated on his idea for boarding schools on the Peninsula. Revolutionary it may be for this area but it is born of necessity. Grade ten, eleven and twelve pupils must have schooling but there are no schools to accommodate them. It is obviously impractical to build high schools all over the country, so the next best thing is to bring the pupils to the schools. That is exactly what Mr Leith has in mind when he proposed making a survey of homes which normally cater to summer visitors. His contention���and a correct one, we believe���is that these homes could be readily sold on the idea of remaining open all year round. Mr Leith is now making a survey of homes that would be interested in this type of business. He already has pupils needing residence. One of the main problems to be broached is this ever recurring one of discipline. There are several instances of private boarding plans which went astray because little Jimmy or Nellie would not behave once they were out of the parental vision. Crux of the whole plan is discipline. Much discipline. In England this plan works very well. Rules in boarding schools are strict but they are good. A former boarding school student bears the stamp of his institution with pride and ability. . Cost is another point which should be borne in mind and on this point the plan is even better. It is believed the Department of Education would provide at least $7 per pupil per month. Another portion would be borne by the School Board, while the remainder would be paid by the parents. This would work out at less per person than the' parents are paying now to keep their children at home. .7 Vancouver or correspondence schools are the only other answers to the pupil's need for education. The first is expensive and quite often out of reach of working parents. The latter idea is fine if there is absolutely no other hope and even then to get the good out of a correspondence course it is nearly essential that the average studerit should have tutoring. Usually the school teacher does this work, gratis. This is hardly fair to the school teacher but definitely not fair to the boy or girl who wants to get ahead. To the boy or girl who must get ahead in order to hold his or her own in this highly competitive world. There seems to be only one answer. Boarding schools. Gibsons has the school. There are several summer boarding houses which would probably be glad to remain open all year round. There is the pressing need ..from the upper end of the Peninsula. Our School Board should be congratulated on its wholehearted support of Mr Leith's idea. It's a good one and should be pushed to the limit. Jack Mayne Re-Eleefed WHEN a MAN has been re-elected to office that is a key to his value. By these things can a man be judged. And so, when a man has been re-elected to the same office for five terms that man must be better than good. He must be far above average. Even more is this brought to the light when it is known that the office is an elective one. What then must be the position of Jack Mayne of Sechelt? Jack has just been re-elected secretary of the Canadian Legion branch for the THIRTEENTH time. This is outstanding when it is considered that this job is one of responsibility and .trust. ... .,' X ... p. ..-.-.On the shoulders of the secretajfcy7is���-.��� stjufe^^td% fall the work of any laggard^iri the unit. Letters are proposed and. moved and passed and approved by the body general but the secretary is the man who writes them. On his shoulders falls the responsibility of seeing that the books of all the committees are in order. Believe us, ^ome of these committees, Legion and others, really forget all they know about books when it comes time to open them arid make entries. Many of them fail to even open them. The secretary is the man responsible for these as well as his own. He is responsible for all the money that passes through the unit's hands. His position is one of prestige. To be,reelected as often, as Jack has is a great tribute to the irian's character, alsoTto the acumen of-Legion members. X. Cub Leader Wanted in Sechelt MANY AND OF^EN are the duties which are thrust upon��community-minded citizens, but none can wear a prouder badge than that of the Cub leader. He is working with the very best that our nation has to offer. He is. helping to mould the pliable minds of our greatest asset���our children. Sechelt at this very mpment is doing the unbelievable, looking for someone to take over the job of Reading the Wolf Cubs. Why a community the size and calibre of Sechelt should have any trouble finding a man or youth who would be willing to sacrifice a little of his time in this grandest of jobs is entirely beyond us. But such is the case. We do not believe for one moment' that the leader less Cubs are that way because of callous indifference. We are sure it is because this grave lack has never been brought to the notice of the public. ... ��� _-.'.. There is no doubt once this gap in our youth training has been made public that there will be a short-lived vacancy in the Cubs. These are the grandest kids in the world. They are your kids. Surely you would never see these little tykes stranded? The Weather JANUARY 1950 stands out as being the coldest month recorded for many years. One old timer���am sure he will not mind being quoted���Mr Hector McDonald���tells me that the winter of 1917 was similar to this in his recollection. Veterans of World War I will remember it as being particularly severe in France that winter. As regards precipitation, Sechelt had 25 Vz inches of snow which equals 2.55 inches of rain, and added to the rainfall of 1.09 inches totals 3.64 inches for the month. But take a look at Vancouver's record for the month. Their pre cipitation (rain and snow) measures 6.48 inches. Quite a difference from here. Looking at January 1949, the precipitation at Sechelt was only .26 inches. This, included IV2 inches of snow, a great difference from January 1950, and we thought January 1949 pretty rough. R. S.

Jackson; vice-president, Mrs T. Turner; secretary-treasurer, Mrs A. Johnston; convenors, Mrs G. Kraft, Mrs H. Lucken, Mrs E. Reid. The first social event of the newly formed club will be a whist drive at the home of Mrs T. Turner, Friday, February 17, to which everyone is invited. Next regular meeting of the club will be held at the home of Mrs E. Woodward, March 6. A cordial invitation is extended to all ladies of the district to join the organization. After three weeks' shutdown due to weather conditions, Burns her sister, Mrs W. McKissock, is Mrs Edgar Lindgren of Vancouver. GIBSONS ��� It seems very unlikely that any opposition to the request made by Union Steamships for a subsidy on its Howe Sound runs will come from the Peninsula. Spokesmen for the various boards of trade here, are of the opinion that if the company can satisfy the federal authorities a subsidy is needed for continuation of the present winter schedules, it would be poor policy on their part to object. Plans are now being made by the Gibsons Board of Trade 'to have a round table conference with the other boards to survey the whole question, raised with & Jackson sawmill resumed full operation again last Wednesday. Charles Brookman was seen on the road last week (but minus his customary fishing rod) after having been confined to the house for two weeks with the 'flu. His many friends are happy to have Charlie up and around again. Mrs Stan Forbes and youngson Alexander went to Vancouver for a few days last week. I am sure a lot of interesting news from this district does not get to the paper simply because I am unaware of the happenings.

No amount of money was stated in the application. It was also nintea that quite probably, help would be forthcoming on the company's request. "If the subsidy request fore shadows curtailment of service, provided it will be refused, then it is up to us to see that all the help possible is given. It is our lifeblood. Without frequent and varied service we would recede," said one spokesman. "With curtailment, or stopping, of the steamship service, Gambier would be in dire straits," said Francis Drage, JP. ' "I'm sure," he continued, "if the company needs the subsidy they will get it. If they have no need for it, the government will see that none is forthcoming.

W .^- - u .��� SUBSCRIBE NOW TO THE COAST NEWS $2.00 PER YEAR ., \i; 6 THE COAST NEWS, Monday, Feb. 13, 1950 Voice of the fVlanitou By CLARENCE JOE MRS. MARY Ann Jeffries, one of five Indian women expert basket makers, is ill in bed. She is well known here but has also a wide reputation among tourists of all races. Her baskets are always well received. This art of"making baskets seems to be fading out among our people. There are still a great number of baskets made but the old time expert is dying out and giving way to more production methods. Remember hero George Craigan who crawled into a house which was aflame from door to chimney, to rescue his grandchildren? Well, it has been decided to replace the house. The Indian Department has given approval to the expenditure. Other members of the tribe who received the go-ahead in housing are Nelson Moody, Alfred August, Kristian Julian, Fitz Louie and Cyrpian August. Some people think that because the Indian is the ward of the government, he gets everything for nothing. This is not right. Here is the way that building houses is paid for. The Indian council digs into its tribe funds and pays for part of the expenses, while the federal government gives anywhere between $500 and $1000 for each unit built. The owner has to pay the rest which is nearly always more than half the cost of the house. Value of the new homes to be built will be approximately $3500. Another thing: the home owner has to furnish the house himself. So you can see that just being a ward is not enough. It still costs us lots of money and that money is being spent in Sechelt which in turn helps the community. What helps the district has to help us but what helps us also helps the district in which we live. Indian and white man are all mixed up in the same economy. E. Parr Pearson and E.' En- right met with the Indian council to discuss access to their water intake. Both these gentlemen represent the Union Estates. There seems to have been trouble about getting up to their intake. This is being attended to by our council. It is hardly expected that trouble will come from it. I have received a lot of favorable comment about this column from both Indian and white. They say it can be a means for us to meet on a common ground. One question- that was asked is about letters to this column. I would very much like to get letters from anyone who would like to know anything about the Indians here. If I can't answer it there are men and women in the tribe who certainly can. March of Dimes EXTENSION of the "1950 Canadian March of Dimes" till the end of February was announced last week by Dr C. R. Hallman, provincial chairman. Dr Hallman said that the extension of the campaign, sponsored in B.C. by the Kinsmen Clubs, was authorized by the national executive directors "owing to the extremely bad weather which has prevailed throughout Canada during January." The British Columbia objective is $75,000. In most B.C. centres, the campaign has dragged owing to the unusual weather which has brought added responsibilities to householders. The only point to send in a contribution has been Langley Prairie which forwarded a cheque for $180. Contributions received since have brought this amount up beyond the $200 mark. Mission reported that on the day of the worst storms donations totalling oyer $94 had been received. Aim of the Canadian Foundation for Poliomyelitis is to find ways of preventing the disease and so eliminate suffering and the necessity for cure. Treatment, cure, equipment and rehabilitation will also receive funds from the nation-wide campaign. Junior Red Cross members have sent nearly $20,000 worth of clothing to children in British war nurseries alone. ����� ����� H^^��P7^5&tTi >*p"* ** * **"��� m ft ? ,"<������ Ike PIONEER Power Chain Saw The Pioneer is the answer to the great demand for a one-man power taw ' which will give continuous reliable service under all working condition*.

THREE CERTIFICATES Certificates of competency are obtainable in three classes: certificate "A" for persons engaged in all types of electrical work; certificate "B" for installations not exceeding 600 amperes and 750 volts; and certificate "C" for installations in private residences not exceeding 100 amperes at 300 volts single phase power. Applicants who have been engaged in the electrical contracting business for a continuous period of two years and who apply for a certificate of competency within 60 days of the date on which the regulations become operative, will not be required to pass an examination. SATISFY BOARD All others, however, must satisfy a five-man board of examiners to be set up under the regulations that they are competent to undertake electrical work. Examinations will involve written papers and an inspection of work done by the applicant. Permits will be issued only to persons holding certificates of competency, except in cases where the applicant is doing the work on his own premises. Fees for examinations for certificates of competency will be class "A," $20; class "B" $15; and ���class "C" $10. In addition the annual fees for certificates will be: class "A" $25; class "B" $12.50; and class "C" $5. In addition a scale of fees is established for the issuance of permits, ranging from $7.50 for a panel over 750 volts to $1 for electric range and hot water heating installations. Such charges shall cover the cost of inspecting the work.

Following a blunt ultimatum from Deputy Minister of Municipalities B. C. Bracewell that he would rescind the letters patent and reissue them with the inclusion of two more districts, commissioners decided to get legal advice. Next move came recently from R. C. MacDonald, minister of municipalities, who reiterated his deputy's threat and asked what the commissioner was going to do about it. Municipal Clerk Robert Burns will advise the minister that the whole question is under advisement. "We are not going to be railroaded into anything," growled commission chairman James Drummond. St Aidan's Church Meeting ROBERTS CREEK ���Election of officers took place at the fourteenth annual meeting of St Aidan's Church. They were: Vicars warden, F. W. Downes; people's warden, G. Bloor; delegate to the Synod, G. Bloor; alternate delegates, C. Shepheard and H. Smith. The church committee will consist of the above officers and Mrs H. G. Findlay, president of the WA. Other members are Mrs Harbord, Mrs Maskell, Mrs Hewer arid? Miss F. M. Walker. Auditor again is Miss G. Jervis. Votes of thanks were tendered to all officers and Mrs Harbord for her fine work on the organ. The most effective step yet taken to meet the growing demand for efficient, cost-lowering building methods is the development by the B.C. Coast Lumber Industry of the solid cedar system of construction. Erection of two test houses in Vancouver, built to Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation standard floor plan specifications, proves that home building costs can be cut by as much as 16.6% when solid cedar construction methods are employed. *This development gives needy home seekers throughout Canada definite assistance.
