Traffic Next In line For Solving The ear ferry may have far reaching consequences,; according to word received /by Village Commission from the department of traffic control, R.C.M.F. Following investigation of traffic problems', here, Sergeant 'Monty' Locke, R.C.M.P., advised the village by letter it would be better to throw out the present antiquated "traffic bylaws * and rewrite a complete bylaw following a sample forwarded from. Victoria. . / Among suggestions to be considered -by coune|l faced ���wit!h increased traffic .following the ferry were; restrictive parking, no ^parking signs, parking in various- portions of the village, off main street widening and controlling of a -porf&Gn of the Gower Point road which would allow of two lane traffic and a parking lane, make Fletcher Road into a one way, (this brought objection frc.m Commissioner Skellet) no all night parking and submitting the new by-��� law to both R.C.M.P.. and department of public Vworks. ���/ Comntissioner Skellet will /investigate tthe suggestions and report back to council. The stpecial conimitifee appointed at the -ia:st session of the Legislature to enquire into the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act with ia view to recommending amendments., to the 1952/sSession recently held its...Organizational��� meetin g in 'Vancouver.

MeRae, Prince Rupert. It is planned tentatively by Mr. Ash for the committee to travel to various parts of the Province for meetings with labor groups and management representatives, leaving hearings in Vancouver and Victoria to the last. Among the cities Mr. Ash hopes the committee will be able to visit outside of Vancouver and ;Vie|to/raa. are Trail, Kimberly, fVernon, Kel- , owna, Princev&eorge and Powi: The Merealfe and Glen Roads will be put in shape at ai\ cost of approximately ^$2,000 according to a contract granted.

This is the 1951 portion of the grant following ending of the provincial government fiscal year. March 31. A request from Elphinstone Branch of the Victorian Order of Nurses for a donation was met with $50 .from Gibsons coffers. The letter pointed out the present drive was nearing an end but ~ the group 'was still short of its objective. "The need- for our VON services is still great," the letter said.

Unofficial figures have always ranged between eigjht and twelve thousand persons. been the widest and most comprehensive ever taken in this country. ��� Persons who have not been interogated by the census taker should get in touch with any of the local figure gatherers or contact Earl Dawe, Wilson Creek. Next census will be taken 1961. Census takers themselves well versed in the business of estimating, believed that eight thousand persons with permanent residence here, would be approximately right. It isi now reliably reported ���the actual figures will range less than five thousand for the .Peninsula. Gibsons village, always a question, in spite of assessment rolls and tax figures will be disappointing to the persons who believe they are living in something close to a metropolis. There 'Sre approximately 710 persons living in the newly enlarged village. Only 305 residences are within its boundaries. Said one person close to the source of figures, "there will .only be 1400 persons registered between Selma. Park, Sechelt and Halfmoon Bay and. probably only- 600 between Gower Point and Smiths "s Landing and not including the yiMage. "Figures, for Pender, Harbour will be just as disappointing, ?* the spokesman, said. "Official figures will be distributed in about three or four months but these will . give everyone a better idea of the population here," Only a very few names have to be checked prior to t census fakers marking finis to another tabulation which has yards of the renovation. The new contracts, plus the still to be decided tender on the resurfacing of the Bay and Franklin Roads from Wardil's corner to where they join on the Gower Point road will send expenditures on roads over $4,000 mark for this year. Portions of this work will be on the approved 60-40 plan. Motion to grant the contract to Ritchey was made by Road Commissioner William Skellet and seconded by James Hall. Feasability of a deep ditch along the top of the pump house property, aimed at draining off surface water, prior to its hitting and contaminating present spring sources,. will also be investigated. It is believed now is the best time for operations of this ty'pe. "A big machine would b'e unable to operate ��� ^uring .wet ... weather^/.

"The chain letter which was promoted by the boys on behalf of our funds was a' howling success," -said the chief. "All they who donated so generously to the fund' should feel very pleased with themselves," he said. "Every penny is going toward helping the community. In actual fact erery person is helping themselves and service," said Fire Chief Fred Mills. "It is a machine which is at the service of anyone on tihe Peninsula." Another piece of valuable equipment which has come into pose:sion of the brigade is an all purpose gas mask. This is for use of the brigade and may be had upon application to the chief.

In operation for only a few days the school is a false thing and should be one of two reasons why Harold Cullerne, our very highly paid architect should cringe when he accepts his very large cheques. ��� ., ��� The architect blundered in passing a nearly flat, duroid roof (in order to cut costs at the School Board's request). We suggest lie should forego his Roberts Creek fee, to help pay for, the extra cost his mistake caused people of this Peninsula. Mr. Cullerne, an architect of many years and big jobs standing should not have passed the duroid roof on the nearly flat Roberts Creek School. Ii. he had asked any carpenter he would have been assured the type suggested and the roof approved by him, was just a joke. School Board District 46 quite rightly went to the architect when faced with cutting cost^s in order to get the school constructed under terms of the bylaw. We hardly expect the Board to be qualified to build buildings or make any too accurate decisions on same but we do expect the highly paid expert to make proper decisions ��� decisions based on many years experience. When the expert fails, not only once but twice in a short space of time, then it is time to get another expert before it costs us any more money. The Department of Education is being approached by the School Board for permission to have tenders called4'or the new roof. * , We suggest that Victoria do the right thing by the taxpayers and make Mr. Cullerne pay for the mistake he alone made. In the matter of the changes being made in the elementary school, contractors bid on conditions shown by the architect's drawings. When applying the bids came into effect it was found certain conditions existed which did not show or were shown differently on the drawings - the contractors had to boost.-their prices, after the hid was accepted. Mr. Cullerne'refused payment for this work. And well he should. . We suggest he refuse payment for the Roberts Creek.fiasco. It h hardly good enough these men take a contract to do a job and then err and walk away free and without blame. This is not the first time Mr. Cullerne's prognostications hav* hoen wrong.' If some mistakes appear following'the expensive Gibsons Junior-Senior High School, we suggest that Mr. Cullerne be quietly but firmly made to pay the. bill." ' That is always one way to make a real expert out of an ordinary expert ������'>..������ Reader's Right MIKEL DISAPPROVES EDITOR THE NEWS.

Toddlers from two years and up escape from watchful eyes and. cross the road to the sea. Slightly more'than a year ago I wrote to. Victoria about such a sign, and: was informed that Vancouver headquarters for the Provincial Police had been notified. Shortly after ward I heard that the local officer had alsi been notified and that the matter had been placed in the hands of the local road authority.

Tfye matter of pensions and larger questions of state res^ ponsibility to the unemployable and handicapped is so* vast a topic that most of is helplessly throw up pur hands and let the government decide what "s best for Us. All too often the result is what's best 'for the government and treasury and far from even satisfactory for the public concerned. . If you take the whole problem at one n bite, it is as insoluble as the everlasting argument between, the Socialist Welfare State and Free Enterprise. But let's break it down. Let's take one or two aspects of the pensions problems, and for the moment forget about others. ��� If government responsibility is clear and irrefutable in any sphere it is in the matter of soldier's pensions! and disabil- ���. ity payments. Her,e we have a situation established after the First World War to meet a , -definite emergency' involving . a definite and distinct number and class of persons,. Dis- ��� abilities suffered in war service arev assessed according to a chart. In exact proportion to the faculties a man has lost, he is* paid a continuing pension. This monthly Remittance cannot be altered by any legislation without thereby contravening the original Pen dons Act. Nor can an individual's means alter his pension. Millionaire or' pauper, the dis- mOnthly payment based on his _ ab'led veteran receives a percentage loss of ability to ��� as the act states ��� "perform normal or physical act," In Canada, $ome 1617,000 pensioners benefit by these payments. The^i* handicaps vary sfrom 5 to 100 per cent, to 125-dollars ^ at... 100, per month. That scale is for a married pensioner. The single person draws up to 94-dollars a month. '.

I am always glad when Sunday comess for that is the day we can gather all the kids, bundle them into the car and head for the Sechelt Inn with its buffet supper served at six in the evening until after seven. That is one thing worth looking forward to. The last time we were there we met all the people from the other end of the Peninsula that we had, it seemed, not seen for years. I noticed a lot of old friends who took their sum-N mer visitors to the Inn 'for Sunday supper. It's a nice way to make it easier for the hostess and st$l give the friends a good supper. y" When your moth^ coines out for the annual week's holiday, Mabel, I'm going to take her and your dad out to Sechelt every Sunday night and that should stop her from those nasty remarks about the heat, because it is certainly nice and cool there.

Thursday July 19 1951 " The Coast News The Pulp and Paper.Industry. inBritish Columbia will launch its second. annual essay contest for Junior and Senior High' School students throughout the province on July 23. This announcement was made today by Leander Mahley, Secretary Manager, Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, Western Division. ''On. the 23 of this month'', _���- ��� _ said Mr. BCanley; "thirty eight B.C. Daily and Weekly newspapers will carry a special scales of advertisements inviting, the students to write an essay bf 250 words and compete for the*'six interesting and valuable prizes, ranging from portable typewriters to racing bicycles'. He pointed out that contestants will state their preference from a list of several awards made available to them when they file their essays. Therefore those selected for awards- will receive the prizes of their choice. Subject of the 1951 Essay Contest is "Why is Pulp and Paper Manufacturing one of the World's most Important Industries?". 1 NORTH ROAD Phone Gibsons 82 aned Lumber ALL SIZES Sh ipiap Prompt Attention To ill Orders 5th in a series to bring: you the facts about your Hospital Insurance plan U WW are die Fails of the Hospital M Situating Hospital Insurance did not create the shortage���IT MERELY BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF EVERYONE. Let'* look at the reasons for the present shortage of hospital beds. ��� ..-- Lack of money during the depression day & brought the construction of needed hmpital bed* to a 8tarUistilL .. * The shortage of building supplies during the war, and right after, prevented needed hospital construction. ��� . . . ��� �� The large numbers of people who moved to B.C. to live in recent years threw an extremely heavy strain upon the existing hospital beds. The situation was further aggravated when Hospital Insurance started. Many people who would probably hot have been able to afford hospital care, suddenly found that they were able to gq into hospital .without having to worry about-'the expense.; % In early 1949, the government took immediate steps to help the municipalities correct this situation^ To encourage hospital construction, generous financial aid was offered to the communities. Financial aid that is unequalled by any other province in Canada. . One fact, however, is repeatedly overlooked. THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PROVIDING HOSPITAL ACCOMMODATION IS THAT OF THE COMMUNITY AND NOT OF THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT. This is not a new policy. It has always been up to the municipality to build its hospitals. It is up to each community to find out what it needs, draw up its plans, select its site, and raise its portion of the cost. The provincial government acts dnly in providing the\ rest of the money (in conjunction with the Dominion grants) and advice. The only part that is new since Hospital Insurance started, is the increased amount of money put up by the provincial government. v Wherever there is a bed shortage, it is iip to the local authorities to see that the beds which are needed are provided. Under the present set up, the community only has to raise its share of the cost, and the provincial government arranges the rest (the Dominion government gives a grant of $1,000 a bed). At all times, the provincial government is willing and anxious to help communities solve their hospital problems, but it cannot be stressed too much that the responsibility for providing hospital beds rests Completely with the community concerned. Many communities have been quick to accept the government's increased cash assistance. As a result, hospital constructionin B.C; has climbed steadily during the past two years, and is continuing to climb. In the ten year period before the government increased its financial assistance, there were only an average of 8fi beds built per'.'.year. Since the government started its increased financial assistance, this figure has climbed to over 285 beds per y.ear, and is climbing fast. This year it will be 571 beds, and next year will probably see over 1,000 started. At the present time, the bed situation in B.C. is not as bad as some would make out. Leading consultants say the size and population of B.C. calls for an average of five beds for every one thousand people. With the addition of 572 beds during the past two years, we now average this figure, comparing favorably with any area in the U.S. and Canada. In fact, by the end of 1952, an anticipated increase of 2,243 beds will make our bed situation as good^as any and better than most. Hospital Insurance premiums do not pay for the building of new beds, but they do pay for the running of them. It should be remembered that for every new hospital bed placed into use, between $3,500 and $4,000 is needed every year just to run it. It only takes about 500 new beds in B.C. to raise the cost of running the hospitals by over $1,800,000 a year, which is equal to a premium increase of over $4.00 a year. After the present needs are met, how far can we afford to let hospital construction expand? As hospital construction expands, costs increase. As costs increase, premiums go up. How much catt we afford? Next week, we will give you the facts on "What about private Hospital Insurance plans?" Be sure to read these messages. They deal with your Hospital Insurance plan���a plan which has already paid over $40,000^000 for more than 500,000 hospital cases, and is providing benefits for thousands more each month. '���..

The .same $300 total^or near such, would still stand but lowering of the- down payment would allow subscribers to connect while still* owing on the original. Redistribution of payment, a policy of Jthe cooperative plan, would not be made until ,.' they who had paid on the low down payment had made payments which would equal that of other members of the plan.
