Sechelt to Plan latepayers rotests to elevation Commission For a few minutes, the Gibsonjs viliagie commission was subjected to a barrage from delegates of the, Gibsons Ratepayers Association when a delegation of their members turned up to Tuesday's meeting to protest the granting of wa*er to six residents of the Indian Reserve. ��� ---��� Dr. Harley Anderson and Jack Gordon, speaking for the Ratepayers, began the barrage, strongly protesting- the move of the council to grant water to users outside the; village, boundaries when the village was not sure of an adequate supply for its own use. But the big guns were opened up when W.B. Hodgson, president of . the association, put in a strong protest against the ���granting of water, when .he protested methods used by the Villagers Fail to Name Commissioner Taxpayers of Gibsons again failed to nominate for commissioner, this time to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mrs.. Nestman, who has left to live in Selma Park. It will now be up to the village commission to name a commissioner to fill the vacancy to complete the? term ending council, and when he accused December 31 of this year. Mrs. Nestman had been on the commission only a few weeks having beietn nominated to fill one of the positions created by the resignation of Messrs. Macnicol and Skellett over a inattietr concerning the purchase of two private pipelines. Only one candidate was nominated at the time���:Mrs. Nejitman���and Mr. Joe Sehutz was namie/d by the commissioners, to fill the other vacancy, Now, the commissioners' wall be confronted again with the task of finding a* commissioner.

He suggested that the village council should usa the columns of the Coast News to tell the residents of village- council affairs. Commissioners came back with the argument that the meisitings were open to the public. Hastily Joe Sehutz got up* to explain that he had not used water for sprinkling during the ban, and the other commissioner";! took turns in assuring the delegates that an ample supply of Avater would ���''''''v^e^-f'"aVaii?a1&Ie -when ��� -tiie new pipeline was laid. They cited cases whefe present pipe, along the Cannery road, was leaking badly, wasting gallons of water. Still, ihe Ratepayers were not convinced. They asked that no more outsid,ei connections be allowed until the new line isi tejfted- f)or a year in order that the village may be assured of its own. supply. They qitestioned the commission on water at the source to which Commissioner ' A.E. Ritchey answered that further springs would be piped as soon as jrnoney wai-/ available. Commii3sioner Boucher stated that the proposed $1200 addition to the| municipal hall had been shelved so that the money could be put to use1 in connection with roads and waticr supply. The barrage again became hearvy when the question of the sale,- of the village truck came up. When commissioner accused predecessors of buying a costly pde.ctei of equipment which could not he used sufficiently to^assuiie its worth, Dr. Anderson, a former commissioner, rose to his feet and accused some of the present council members of objecting to the purchase of the truck because of pen-son al financial implications Mr. Ritchey had said, during the discussion on the purchase that he "had a truck standing kite." He explained, however, that he was not in the trucking business. Dr. Anderson said that the truck was being boycotted because the prfcsent commissioners, objected to its purchase in thte. first pla'ce. He said it could have been used for many purposes, including the collection of ^arbao-e.

I*t BONE Chartered Accountant 1045 West Pender St; VANCOUVER 1, S:0. v v��� TAtlow' 1954 ^ " Trans-Canada Air Lines has* ordered three additional Lockheed,Super Constellations, bringing to eight the number of aircraft of this type selected by the airline for service on international routes. it itonais k matter of doocern Whether we read the "FinancialwTimes" or not, whether we concern ourselves with international affairs or not, the matter of the dwindling British meirket is a matter that is going to, affect all of us. Even if we merely shrug our shoulders and get on with our little jobs here on the Peninsula, it is going to have its effect on our economy. British Columbia has no new lumber contracts with Great Britain, no contracts for salmon,'and no contracts for apples. Mind you, there are many other countries we can always deal with, but Britain has been one of our big customers. It isn't that Great Britain doesn't want our lumber or our fish or our fruit. It isn't that Great Britain doesn't like us or our prices. She just can't pay the land of money we want. - It seems to us that some international finance" could be figured whereby Great Britain could pay in sterling and the Canadian government could accept:that sterling,���'converting it into gold cerificates for the; producers and shippers. We could then buy from Britain, paying for our purchases in the sterling she paid us. "- ' i Unless something is done, it looks as if we'll have to pull in our horns as a trading province, and probably take less money _ for our produce with a subsequent lowering of our living standards. To make matters worse, it is conceivable that' the Republicans could win the election in the United States. And. the Republicans' haVe been noted in the past for slapping up high tariffs. This may; conceivably cut out some of our big contracts, with the United States, and leave, us with stocks of rotting lumber, rotting fish, and rotting fruit���and slim pocketbooks. The other side ! Since our editorial of a few months ago, in which we drew attention to the need for an increase in the mill rate at Gibsons, we have heard from the other side. And they present an argument which is both interesting and perfectly logical. We feel it only fair to present it: Most of our residents here on-'thei Peninsula have come here to escape the high taxation of Vancouver and district. They have come to buy homes and to settle here on small company pensions and army pensions. And, as long as our tax remains low, we'll get more and more residents with small, but fixed, incomes. If a depression hits'���and we don't think, it will���or if there is a prolonged strike, or a long forest closaire, thet younger people will be moving away, looking elsewhere for work or government relief. And it is these oldstielrs��� the Old. Sweats and the retired f:ol,k���whe will remain here "to keep "the grocer;rs_ca&h register ringing up sales.: True, they'll be buying* in'.smalLquantities and they won't be able to afford the- frills: ;but they^1 be buying, keeping the Peninsula going until better tinies return. Then, the progressive; younger men will return to the Peninsula to open up businesses, to advocate the coming in of industries���and to advocate higher mill rates���for progress.

Photography Hints For Amateur Fans Developing your own roll of film is as easy as making a pie. (Developing means finishing the roll of film; and. has nothing to do with making the prints���which is also as easy as' pie.} Ingredientei: - From the drug- store get tubes of developer. They are about a- dime each. One will do for three or four rolls. Also get a - can of acid fixing powder. You need water'-'and light, and three pyrex or enamel dishes. Procedure: Mix develox>er as directed; pour into one dish. Mix- fixer as directed; pour into another dish. Put water in the third dish. Try to have all temperatures aTround 68>degrees E. .. Find yourself e- light-tight room or closet with a shelf. (Be careful with the chemicals. Theycan damage paint.) Turn on a dim red light���the dimmer the better. TvWhen you are sure there is no white'light entering your, darkroom, unroll the film. Tear off,, the paper backing and throw it away. Unroll the film and wash it in the water for a few seconds. Take one end of the roll of film in each hand. Wateh your fingernails! They are sharp! Rock the film, to and fro in . the developer for about two minutes. It should 'turn dark in about a minute/Examine it under the red light' to ascertain the contrast, or leave to develop fully in about two- and-a-half minutes. Rock, in water to wash off the developer. Rock in the fixer for about two minutes. Turn on a faint white light at the end of two : minuter���if you like���rahd ifinish the job in the -light. Fix for a total of about eight minutes. Twist film into- a figure of e-ight; fasten the ends with clothes pegs,, and let the film wash ip running water for about 20 minutes. Wipe film dry with a sponge, and hang up to dry.

A storekeeper in Gibsons reported that 'his saljeo havei increased year by year over the past seven years. "Summer business was much better, in spite of the strike/' he said. "If we hadn't had a strike wet'd have done very wall." " One automotive dealer stated that hie- sold over twenty cars, new and usted, during July, 'even though the logging camps were closed. Newcomers in the business jcirclesi in both S e, c h e, 11 and Gibsons have found business bejtter than they had anticipated during their first few months in business'. General concensus of opinions among thpi merchants on the Peninsula seems to be that w<�� are .entering an era of prosperity for the district. ���-.. Despiite the| fact ��� thje�� ferry has had a tendency to bring the Vancouver shopping centrf within two .hours of Gibsons, more residents appear to be buying at home���where their money will go further.

"You have an unsurpassed ferry trip over herei; the meals served here are tops; and the local Kin are most hospitable", h,e said. Thonie installed were Mike :Landre,V, a�� president,; Jack Marshall as vice-president; George Miller as secretary; Harry Mylroie, treasurer; Don Hauka, registrar. Harry Smith, Laurie Speck and Geo'rge Hunter w^ere installed as directors, George Hill being absent. Past - president George Hunter presented a past-president's pin to Immediate Past President Tom Larson. Reporting on the playground, Laurie Speck said that the swings had been installed and the erection of a picnic table was pertly completed. He suggested for next year, the planting of the playground to clover, .the; er<?��tion of a merry-gor- round, further installation of tables, and the building of rest rooms.

' ��� According to Tony Gargrave, MLA-elect, a gravel crushes will be brought to the Peninsula this falh It will be necessary to put a-cover of several inched of gravel over the; Gibsons-Agamemnon highway before black-topping can be can be laid. "Batt" Maclntyre, former MLA for the riding, had told the Coast News last April that a gravel crusher would be stationed here this year. Some progress has been made in preparing the road for gravelling. Two bridges and a bad curve have been taken out in one part of the Roberts Creek area, and another bridge was recently eliminated. Work is now being done on thei bridge, over Mission Creek at Wilson Creek. According to Tony, the "million dollar highway" had been promised by thei government?, but no'datet was set for its completion. "It may be completed in I960", Tony remarked in a letter to the/ Coast News. No money had been se'it' aside for the work, he said. \An executive member of the MacKenzie Riding Liberal Association, however, has told the.Coast News that the former Coalition Govieiramelntt had definitely pledged itself to complete the road as soon as the ferry wharves are ready for the. Jervis Inlet ferry. PINTAIL BAGS 'EM IN ONE HOUR Pintail, Daily P r o v i n c e, fishing and hunting expert, started out from the Gibsons wharf yesterday morning about nine o'clock to go to his favorite fishing spot, just this side of Gower Point.

Canada ranks first in world, production of nickel, asbestos ���and the platinum metals; second : in aluminum (from imported ore), zinc, and gold; -and third in silver production. (Continued from page 1), to explain tha^ the -Ratepayers had been against the purchase of the truck, but"once it had been purchased, he said, they objected to its sale at a loss. (The council had nioved to sell the truck to Eric Inglis for $2800.) Thi/s, in turn, brought sip the question of the bi-weekly financial sate'ments which were handed out to the commissioners at each meeting. "W;ej would likfc' to know where the money is going, and who is getting it." Mr. Hodgson told the commissioners. *'Fprv instancy" hei continued, "if we knew what the^-truck was costing us to operate it, we could better judge the action of the commission in offering it for sale." He, askied that a * copy of the bi" weekly financial statement be published in the Coast News. When Mr. BoUcher asked if he/ meant, that/the commission should pay to have it published, he said that the Coast 'News should publish it as a service to- its. readers.
