Published in Gibsons. B.C. Volume 8, Number 25 June 23, 1955. Victoria, B. C* Serving the Growing Sunshine Coast: From Squamish to Pender Harbour suggested Sunshine Coast municipal officials and other authorities should open their eyes to the necessity of adopting some form of .regional planning in view of the rapid growth now taking place, says Jack Richardson, reeve of West Vancouver and finance chairman for the Lower Mainland! Regional Planning board; who visited Gibsons recently. This regional planning board consists of 26 'municipalities and the City of. Vancouver extending from the sea to Hope. . In the view of Mr!, Richardson the Sunshine Coast area is developing so rapidly that unless some action is taken soon, it will prove more costly later pn.- . Mr. Richardson has in the past strivedi to encourage interest in* such a move along the Sunshine Coast but no action resulted..Now he is of the opinion that the time is ripe for serious consideration of some form of regional plan- nihgr The district needs a regional water system serving the whole area. This will have to be done sometime and it would be cheaper to' do it now, . Mr. Richardson says. Then there is the economic future of .the region. What is needed are:. selected! secondary industries operating here in order tbi provide employment for the youth of the district or they will have to move but in. order to provide a living for1 themselves. "The Sunshine Coast -has great possibilites and the chief thing people living in this area should do is-to take a good���long look at the- assets- available andl try and do some thing towards capitalizing on them. . ' " ��� "I feel sure that officials of the Lower Mainland Regional Planning . Board would come up here and talk to the clubs, boards of Trade and other organizations provided interest was shown, said Mr Richardson. -��� He was of the opinion a regional planning commission should be formed in this area. Logger Killed i. Killed almost instantly at Lamb's Logging Camp was Alfred E. Jeffries ��� of Porpoise Bay, Seehelt, last Friday morning, when struck by a logging truck backing into the loading ramp. Dr; McColl, and Cpl. Cummins of the Seehelt detach-' ment RCMP were called at 5.30 a.m., shortly after the crews" had begun work. An inquesf will be held on June 24, Cpl. Cummins reported!. . Mr. Jeffries was 51 years of age, married, with three grown children. Mr. Jeffries was reported to have, been working; on his last day before leaving on a holiday with - his family. The ananagement of Lamb's Logging officially stopped operations for the day with respect to the bereaved family. ommumon c United church At Gibsons United Church next Sunday, June 26, the sacrament of the Lord's Supper will-be observed at the 11 o'clock service. No cards will be issued and it is expected that \ members andi adherents will accept this notice. Those having no other church home are cordially invited to share in this service with the regular congregation. Visitors to the district are also welcome. > With a 40 in favor to nine against vote in Seehelt Legion Hall on Thursday night of last week, the committee working on incorporation of the Sechelt'area into a municipal village regarded the vote as sufficient indication they should go ahead with the circulation of a petition for incorporation. After the announcement of the result of the vote, chairman Magistrate Johnston said:. "If this is the feeling, we have started the ball rolling." With Andy Johnston, the chairman on5 the platform, were Jim Parker, chairman of the committee working on in- Early Paper With July 1/ Dominion Day, falling on a Friday, an effort will be made by the staff of The Coast News to have the paper out one day earlier. This will be done to facilitate - matters for the advertiser, readers of the paper and the-staff of The Coast News. corporation; Robert Burns, municipal clerk at Gibson^; Harry Burden, chief assessment official at New Westminster; Steve Howlett of the B.64 Power Commission also on the incorporation committee and E. F. Cooke, of the Seehelt Waterworks. Mr. Johnston opened1 the meeting by1 saying the committee was anxious to ascertain the feelings of the people of Seehelt towards the idea of incorporation for the com munity. The same privilege would be given to those opposed as would be given to those in favor on the floor of .. the meeting, Mr. Johnston added. Mr. Parker explained steps taken in regards to incorpora. tion and told how seven years ago an attempt was made to obtain incorporation but the residents opposed it so the matter was dropped. Three years ago the Board of Trade /.thought it advisable to revive the idea but it remained dor- 12 new teachers needed for schools next term Mr. Ladds, one of the representatives for the Seehelt area, advised the Board' that he was severing his connection with the Seohelt Motr Transport, Co., having accepted a ney position at Powell River. His resignation as a representative to take his place was posfr poned for the present. J' The follwing teachers tendered their resignations as of June. 30: Mrs. H. Evans, Elphinstone; Mr. V. C. McComb- er, Pender Harbour; Mrs. M. Slater,. Pender Harbour. Pro- Board of Trade elects Douglas Smith president What the new executive of the Board of Trade needs is a strong membership committee which would do. something about increasing the strength of the organization, William Sutherlandj present president oi the- board said, in congratulating Douglas B: Smith, manager .of the Bank of Montreal who was elected by acclamation as the next president of the board. "You are taking over the board with finances on the black side of the ledger," Mr. Sutherland said. He added that the present executive will carry on until the new slate of officers are installed next September. The new slate of officers elected) consisted of: Mr. Smith as . president; Danny Smith, vice-president; Harold Wilson, secretary pro-tem; Ray Kruse, treasurer and on the executive will be William Sutherland, past president; Bob Ritchey, Harry Reichelt, Norman Hough, George Hunter, Walter Nygren, Ed Sherman of Port Mellon, Rollie Spencer, Jack Glassford and A. E. Ritchey. All were elected by acclamation. Commenting on the. re-appointment of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Kruse as secretary and treasurer, Mr. Sutherland saidi it was due to their efforts that the Board of Trade had been able to operate as well as it had/. He said that Mr. Wilson had asked to be relieved as secretary but until the right man is found to fill the place now occupied by Mr. Wilson, he will remain on the job. Other appointments made by the board! at its final meeting until September was to name Mr. Smith, the new president as board member to the joint Howe Sound Regatta committee. ; The board was also informed that Gordon Ballentine will not be able t0 continue to work for the regatta committee andl that someone else would have to be found to carry the load. Jack Marshall was named to approach two individuals to see what help they could, give. Harry Reichelt reported' on the trouble he was having with daily newspaper carriers who litter the wharf shed with torn wrappers and do nothing about clearing up the mess. Mr. Reichelt said he had authority from Victoria ^ which - gave him the power to deny the .use of the wharf shed as a distribution centre for the lads. He maintained the ���newspapers had a lad' in Gibsons who* was paid to clean up any mess left; '��� The board moved that a letter be written to both newspapers-- informing them 'of the situaion with the hope .^~ improvement^""."'" ' President Sutherland reported there had been no meeting to date of the steering committee named to approach the various clubs and organizations "of the village concerning the use of Brothers Memorial Park as a community centre. He said some presidents of organizations had appointed a delegate but that others will have to hold a meeting before one could be made. He also added a meeting of the steering committee could take place probably within a week. The1 Fish Derby fund, a defunct event which has had some money left over in the bank and) which was organized by the Board of Trade in past" years, will be turned over to the board to be incorporated in its general funds. The amount involved is $247.77. Mrs. W. Stewart commented oh the laxness of .notifying members on meeting dates and when their membership dues were to be paid. Lock Knowles said! he had a list of paid-up members .available and this would! form a basis for immediate future operations. Mr. Knowles also asked" Mr. Sutherland to accept nominations for the "good citizen" of the year, a'n event the Board of Trade has sponsored. The territory to be covered in the Search for this good citizen will extend from Pender Harbour to Port Mellon and nom- "inations will be received by Mr. Sutherland'. The board adjourned to take part in the barn dance in the new Hough barn. .,. gress is being made in filling vacancies on the teaching staff but approximately 12 new teachers are still required to complete the staff of 44 teachers required by the District. Transfers of Mrs. Iris Smith from Pender Harbour to Elphinstone were approved and Mrs. Clare Dick Svas appointed to Division 6, Pender Harbour and Miss Shirley Linton to the Primary Class at Gibsons Elementary School. All transportation contracts for the 1955-56 school year were reviewed and tenders considered. In general contracts were renewed at the same rates as were in force last year and1, it was confirmed . that these rates were not; out of line with the rates approved in a department circular. Preliminary plans in connection with the school building program were reviewed and the architect will be notified as to suggested changes. There are still many details to be ironed ut before the bylaw reanibe^presenteo!:>to-'-the - Department of Education for its> " approval and it appears to be doubtful whether the bylaw 'will be readiy for presentation to the taxpayers until the fall. Other routine matters were considered by the board and Mr. Trueman was congratulated on the smoothness of the organization for the graduation ceremonies at Elphinstone High School with special credit being given to Grade 11 students for the decoration of the auditorium, the efficient manner in which George Slinn acted as chairman, Wilma Luo- ma's splendid! effort- in the /valedictory address and the '. excellence of the musical program arranged by Mrs. Vernon. Wanted: One Rev. H. Oswald Honorary Canon After 33 years in the service of the Anglican Church in Canada, the Rev. H. U. Oswald has had conferred upon him the dignity "of Honorary Canon, by the. Rt. Rev. Godfrey Gower, Bishop of the Diocese of New Westminster. Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, Mr. Oswald came to Canada from Ireland in 1921, .as assistant to the late Canon B. Heeney, at St. Luke's Church, Winnipeg. In 1923, he went to Fernie as Rector of Christ Church. Since then he has served! in Powell River, White Rock, Mission City- churches. Mr. Oswald came to St. Bartholomew^ Church in Gibsons in November,' 1948. grave digger Start Library The trustees of the Seaview Cemetery met last week to discuss the matter of obtaining services of a grave digger, Mr. McEwen having . handed his resignation to Mr. Graham. The trustees felt they were not financially able to employ any one on a yearly basis, nor were they obligated t0 do so, since the cemetery is a private one. They will, however, try to- locate someone to do the work as required. The Gibsons Library is under construction, under the direction and work of Jules Mainil, with Harry Davis helping. The first floor has already been laid, on solid concrete footings. All work has been done by hand to date, because of lack of power outlets in the immediate vicinity., In spite of this, excellent progress has been made to date. mant until recently when an active committee started work on it. He added that it should be pointed out that the Board of Trade had no intention of trying to put over anything the people did not want. It would be up to the people to decide,, he said. In explaining the financial side of incorporation, Mr. Parker first said the fire department was organized by the Board of Trade by obtaining Credit Union funds to purchase the truck. There was still $700 owing but the Board of Trade would; look after that, he said. "At present the assessment is going out of the district and very little coming back. Main highways would remain a government responsibility.. The schools and school taxes remain under government control and the RCMP will be a provincial government responsibility. Beyond that we are getting very, little back but under incorporation we could get a great deal more," he said. "I feel sure that Mr. Burns will say that Gibsons waited too long before obtaining municipal powers under incorporation. Seehelt has nice flat land and should become a pretty village, Mr. Parker said. He explained that with an estimated population of 400, the municipality of Seehelt would obtain a population-^ based'grant of about $5,200. Then there would be the three (Continued on Page 3) AUTOMATIC Pender Harbour will have its own automatic telephone system in operation by early summer of 1956. This is .announced by Eric L. Mallett, B.C. Telephone Company district commercial manager at North Vancouve who states that in addition to installation of automatic equipment, the project will involve construction of a building and the placing of outside cable and; wire. Central offce dial equipment for the new system already is in order, although location of the telephone building has not yet been definitely established. Installation is expected to begin early next year. The Pender Harbour automatic system will, be of the unattended type, with operator sevice for long distance ajfid assistance purposes given from Seehelt. Derby trials on June 26 The Peninsula Soap Box Derby trial runs will be held June .26 on the Davis Bay. hill starting at approximately 3 o'clock in the afternoon. There will be an inspection of the cars before the run, Fred Mills, official of the Der,by announces. Cpl. Nels Cummins of the RCMP, Seehelt, who has been actively interested in the preparations for the Soap Box Derby, with Fred Mills was in Mission when the Derby was started there. He worked with Mr. Jim Gunn, who is now known as Mr. Soap Box Derby in Mission. Cpl. Cummins gives all credit to the hustling and work of Fred Mills with the boys and their sponsors in Seehelt. B of T DANCE Mr. William Sutherland,, president of the Board of Trade, has asked all members to give all possible support to the gala Dominion Day dance, to be held on Friday, July 1, in the school hall at Gibsons. The Dixieland Band will provide top dance music, nnd- refreshments will be seved. This week's hidden character has been known as a dashing young man in Seehelt. He was heads of one of the busiest groups in the commuhjity. In business, it might be said he really slays 'em. * Last week we missed explaining Who was Who so this week we say the gentleman is described' as 'most frequently seen digging in.' Lest the suspense become overpowering we now identify the gentleman as Mr: William Smith of Seehelt the power unit at the Village Bakery. fair prize list ready The Howe Sound1 annual fall fair .prize list is off the press and available to those interested, Mrs. M.

This prize list contains 176 pages. Collision cuts power The whole Peninsula was plunged into darkness early last Sunday morning, as the result of a car shearing off a pole supporting power lines^ at the Lew Reid corner in Gibsons. The driver, Vernon Dahl and his two passengers had the presence of mind to stay in the car until the flashes from the electrical discharge from broken wires died; down; otherwise they might have been killed, Mr. Howlett stated. No one advised the Power Commission of the location of the break, so much time was ]ost in effecting repairs. The full crew was out, repairing broken wires and replacing the pole, which had been sheared off and carried for about 15 feet. All lights were out from about 2.30 tQ 4.30 a.m., when main services were restored. Service to Hopkins and Granthams Landings were restored! about 7.40 a.m. Because of this break, the full time of the scheduled cutoff from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. was not taken, Mr. Howlett'stated. Paratroopers now Ronald and1 Roger Johnston, twin sons of Magistrate and Mrs. A. Johnston of Seehelt, have completed their para- troop training in the Canadian army at Rivers, Quebec, and. have received their wings. It is'believed they are the youngest paratroopers ir Canada. They are 18 yervs old. i 2 Coast News June 23, 1955 Wat 0HSl 1 Published by Seehelt Peninsula News Ltd. every Trursday, at Gibsons, B.C. FRED CRUICE, Editor and Publisher DO WORTMAN.

There was quite a battery of individuals with knowledge about the subject on the platform and it appeared as though the audience was not so much concerned with minor detail as it was with .the overall picture. T^ere did not appear to be anyone at the meeting who stood up and deliberately spoke against the idea. All who spoke appeared to be sympathetic in varying degrees. Questions were asked about various phases of municipal operation and all were answered by the experts on the platform. No question went unanswered as they were all of the type that could be answered reasonably. If the result of the "straw" vote can be taken as a guide, when those elegible to vote, cast a 40-9 vote in favor, it could mean that supporters of the movement for incorporation, if they act wisely, should not have too much trouble in getting sufficient signatures on a petition asking for incorporation. To say Seehelt will not benefit from incorporation is silly. Today more money is going out of Seehelt to the government than the government is returning to Seehelt. There are those who fear they will be burdened with taxes because of incorporation. Under incorporation the municipality would get a municipal grant and collect under various tax headings, something like ��12,000. This is the amount Seehelt people are now paying to the government and getting only a rough $1,500 back on secondary road work. The chief point Seehelt taxpayers must ask themselves is whether they prefer a proposition, wherein they pay pay out at least $12,000 and get back a rough $1,500 or whether they would rather have $12,000 go into their own municipal coffers and receive necessary services in return. If anyone has a really sound argument against incorporation The Coast News would like to have it so it could be published so that all may read it. ��� .

I mentioned tci a neighbor the other day about working on the prairie. He was a farmer there. I told him my age at the time I was a prairie farmhand and he said we were keeping men in the local school older than that. He then talked about other- days ether ways. He thought a man learned more by working. Well, that may be ibut we had to work and I know we learn- things thereby. I learned to drink beer. I found that coal oil was considered necessary as a delouser for bedding and everybody smelt cif it, and learned how to boil clothes to kill lice. We arrived to thresh; I would go up to the - house for some sweet water (first time I heard it named so) and the farmer's wife would hesitantly ask "if the cut fit was lousy."- * * * This locale was not far from Calgary' and' with a bit of rain or snow the tycoons of the threshing gang would be thresihing around the bordellos in Calgary from whence the bed bugs,and lice were easily transported to us more archaic folks. These minutae of the insect world 'were also boon companions of most df the itinerant transients looking for a job so it was accepted as a necessary evil while threshing was on. As I look back it is to wonder hew one managed to get the engineer's breakfast * an hour before the others and to take time out to watch his" lantern across the stubble to the THE EMIGRANT BY L.S.J. boiler and pretty soon see a glow from his fiery straw furnace. This was a travelling outfit as I have no doubt you in the know would guess. Some of my trials when the caboose was hitched on behind the engine to move, sometimes in the dark, across country with the occasional badger hole to drop into���then square * things away for the engineer's breakfast. * * * The boss was a bit taken aback one day when I told him I could butcher a steer if he brought one in. There was a shelf-like contrivance, fly - proofed under. the caboose where we .kept perishable stuff and ��� the meat soon froze. The modus operandi was to^ pull a quarter out on the grass and! take a double bitted axe for lopping off steaks." For me this was like Brer Rabbit in. the Brier Patch. I had been. brought up in the butchering business. The fare was beef and pork with rice pudding and raisins, dried apples, apricots and - prunes, and raisin pie. I had some difficulty with rice at first and the proportions I tho.ught would be enough generally filled three pots before it quit swelling. We did; not make bread but we made lots of cciokies as there was the afternoon chore in a buggy out to the field with a' box of cookies and two. big pots of tea. * * - * Supper was a bit of a problem, as one did not know if they would finish or run till dark or what have you but at that age nothing daunts. This farmer was a decent bloke and offered to help any MOVING TREES JUST GIRAFFES BY ERIK OLESON of us new chums to* a pre-emp- tion up north, but the westerly wind magickedi us t0 dreaming and with that piece of glistening brocade that adorned the western skyline taunting our youth it was just hot to be. I have often pondered the realm cf "might have ��� been" and when-one. meets tha odd farmer chap from there in these parts that old cliche comes to mind "There but for the grace of God go I." It is not out of the arc cf possibility that this chap I worked, for is still around and he might like t0 know that it was at least given some thought. We eventually got back home which was a frame shack where four men slept and "et" and with winter finally drove the bess into. Calgary while we looked after the stock. * * a One job. I remember with , some pleasure was cutting holes in the ice for "25 or 30 steers. We only had one pony and while one man chopped the hole the * ether was on horseback with a whip to keep the herd at bay which was quite a job once they smelled the water. We were milking three cows and as the pans filled with milk in the course of a dayi or so there would be cream on all sides. So in order to, use some of it up we cooked the mush in cream one morning and after that w��= wanted no more cream in any way, shape or form. The chickens and pigs got cream from then. on. This last paragraph must mention the duck dinners ws had from time toi time. There was an American lad on the next place and we supplied ducks for his Ma to cook on v Sundays. The sight of eight to ten ducks in one large dish and the appetite of a, horse makes knife bright dreams and in memory Inlays strange tricks because I immediately remembered the lad's name. It was Luther Rutledge. There is something a little bewildering to the experience of riding along-a dirt road at 25 miles an hour and suddenly focussing on a leopard, standing stone ..still on a rock. "You slow down, the leopard saunters off the rock, ignores the car for a time, then saunters across the road into the white thorn thicket leading down to the Sabi River. A little further along ., the trees seem to be wandering about but as you draw nearer you find yourself being disdainfully scanned by a lofty giraffe���dark brown with orange markings. Nearby, his family, at. varying heights, is breakfasting on the tops of the thorn trees. Kruger National Park is like that���one surprise after another, and all quite at home. You very early learn the wisdom of keeping in your car and of maintaining a speed limit of 25 miles per hour. Before you've been half a day in the game reserve you give up noticing the handsome impala with his dainty herds and his very sharp curved horns. He is two - thirds the side of a mule deer. Close by him are herds cf wildebeeste, better known to us if known to us at all, as gnus. There are bluish - black hunched up diminutive bison - like animals with shaggy fore- quarters. They lope off with an ungainly pitching roll. Now and then a shy bush- buck with spiked horns comes across the road. He is a solitary animal. The still smaller duiker springs abount here and there. All of this you see in the morning, for by 10.30 the heat is too intense and most of the animals have taken to the bush or as we would say, to the woods. The water-buck has embarrassing markjngs . that make 'him look as thciugh"he had sat down on a freshly painted toilet seat. The whole story of African wild life unfurls itself at the water hole. There I saw two giraffes ��� all dignity lost, sprawling over their splayed front legs to get a drink. Herds of vividly marked zebra came to�� drink, making barber- pole reflections in the water. Two wart hogs took a drink, then trotted off with their ridiculous tails straight up in the air. The lions I did not see for there has been so much rain the grass is too tall and too plentiful: The roads in Kruger Park are laid out by the usual water holes, but with excess of water the game uses other water holes just new. As the sun began to cool I looked down into a gully here known as a spruit, and, there among the silvery tasseled reeds 'were five giant elephants grazing and waving their big ears. We watched* as long as we could! and then hurried back to the Skukuza Rest Camp. All camp gates close at 5,4.5.-p.m..an.d..to.be:;owt. later brings a iihe which increases with the hour. .The night belongs to the animals.. Impala snort; wildebeeste groan fibrously,. Jackals yap��� hyenas cackle, then a lion stabs the darkness with a resounding roar and everything else freezes into silence. You say a sort of prayer for the firmness of the gate of the rest camp. Nearby at his estate on White River is the original Skukuza���- so named by the natives when he founded the game reserve, on old Paul Kruger's original suggestion. Skukuza4 means "He who turns things upside down." He is lit. Col. J. Stevenson - Hamilton, now 88 and retired, the first warden of the park. His wife Hilda is one of Africa's foremost artists of wild life. I have just come from three days spent with my old friend Skukuza, and they were days of enormous privilege. One day we took tea with his assistant of 40 years, Harry Wol- huter, who is legendary in Af rica, for after being knocked off his horse by a great black-. ,,maned lien and picked up by the shoulder arid dragged by the lion, he had the presence of mind to get out his sheath knife andt stab the lion twice in the heart and once inN the throat. It dropped him, went into a nearby bush and expired. Wolhuter, bleeding badly climbed a tree for the lioness came back. Four days later in septic agony he reached the (hospital and today somewhat stiffened he still has the arm and on his son's wall at Pre- terius Kop is the lion skin and knife. Yes, I'll stay inside the car and refrain from being an entree for a lion. It's dusk, the crocodiles have splashed into the Sabi and the wild guinea fowl have flown squawking to their roosts. A freeze has come up and there gees the first alarm; ���snort of an impala.

There would also be the two percent return, on proceeds from money collected by B.C. Telephones. There are some 40 businesses now paying business taxes to the provincial government which wouldi be paid to the municipality. Now there is no power by which the authorities could tax peddlers. Under municipal government these would be taxed. He estimated the total of funds the municipality could collect would be abount $12,300. Against those figures he said there would be an annual spending of $1,500 on the fire department; $1,100 to start with for 30 street lignts; $2,000 for roads, more than was now spent on them; $1,200 for a municipal clerk; $1,200 for general administrative costs and about $400 for miscellaneous expenses. This totalled $7,400 which would leave a rough $5,000 balance. "We can also call on the Town Planning Board for help. An official of* the board is of the opinion we have excellent possibilities for town planning," Mr. Parker concluded. Mr. Burns, Oibsons municipal clerk spoke next *and' in , part he said people who believed, in representative government will look after their own business properlyvHe was of the opinion Seehelt had a A (questioner asked what Gibsons' - experience v^as regarding the change between government financing and financing by a village municipality. Mr. Burns said that in 1929 Gibsons had some roads and a three-quarter inch water pipe laid on the* ground from the creek at Granthams. There were no street lights and no public float. Taxes, less schools were 10 mills on 100 percent assessment value The village was formed and a tax rate, less schools was 10 mills on 100 percent of land assessment and 50 percent improved property. "We opened up every lane in the village so they could be travelled by autos, got a water system, a fire department1 handcart, and hose, bought the water springs property and later installed a gravity line with a good supply of water for all who wanted it. We did all those things without increasing taxes. We raised'- taxes only when we built the municipal hall and1 other extra expenses," he said; As an after thought he added: "Over the years the Gibsons taxpayers got more for their money by becoming a municipality than they would have Obtained if the taxes had gone to the provincial government."; At,this point L. S. Jackson rose and said tliat years ago the people of Seehelt fought against the idea pf incorpbra- tion without knowing what it ���' was about. He thought the reasonably sized population , village had lost about $30,000 with which/to work: If-the municipal fax level passed the $12,500. mark the municipality would become liable to receive reduced government assistance.

As regards the fire department, passing the hat around-is not so, good, but under a tax levy it would be levied in relation to the service given. -' -.* When question time came the first questions asked were whether a properly financed fire department would reduce insurance rates. Mr. Burns said he was before organization paying $21" but now he was paying $13 but he did not. think that was the whole answer because water service and fire hydrants would be necessary. .,,, . Next question was at what time does the RCMP enter into the municipal finance setup. Magistrate Johnston rose immediately and replied, "Not until you appear before me in court." tax collecting. It depended on how fast the ratepayers wanted to go, he added. Mr. Burns "was asked -the direct question*-by someone' in the audience whether Gibsons people were satisfied with ��incorporation. Mr. Burns replied "Yes. We have many more things at Gibsons than they have at Granthams (unincorporated) and! ac other places. These places are now paying government taxes; theri they have to dig in their'own pockets to add improvements. We are doing all this out pf taxes" he said. To another questioner on waterworks, Mr. Burns explained that the Gibsons waterworks was carrying itself financially. Someone asked what would a Seehelt mill rate *be to start with and Mr. Burns said- 10 mills, the same as the present rate now being paid the government. , A questioner wanted to Oops! Sorry! The collective face of the editorial side of The Coast News has been of a mild pink color since last issue. Unintentionally we. forgot to mention the orchestra which played at the Gradua-r tion exercise in Elphinstone High.

He's heard'each Tuesday night at 7.30 with the Harry Pryce or-t chestra, and replaced Harry Mossfield who left for Toron-. to, New York and England a feW months .ago. John was born and educated in Aberdeen, Scotland. He came to Canada in 1948, worked at various jobs in Flin Flon ' and Victoria, and studied music on .the side. His first big chance in radio came in 1954 v/hen he won second prize on the Singing Stars of Tomorrow talent contest. Since then he has appeared, ��n CBC in. recital and sings for clubs in Seattle and Portland. He maky es his home in Victoria at present, where he is assistant manager of a hotel, and flies to Vancouver each week for his Leicester Square appearance. because of that action. He was , of ��the opmion; Mr; Burns had ; giyen a good! exposition of the situation-:in Gibsons ^and it should get. carelul consideration; A questioner wanted to know ifvit was mandatory that, the . 75; percent assessment be general. Mr. Burden replying said no it would not. It was * mandatory, in unorganized territory but a municipality can, set its own assessment rate. The next questioner.: wanted to know if village roads would", have to be taken, care .of.v. by- the village. Mr. Johnston ens- wered by saying the figure, mentioned ($1,200) was present cost of .grading roads based on the service supplied today. New roads would be an added expense. , Mr. Burns suggested it would be better to hire equipment 'than to own same. No village would have enough work to keep an $8,000 truck at work the year round and the same applied: to other equipment. Someone asked if the present water system entered into the incorporation picture. Mr. Parker replied there was no truth in the > report the village would have to buy the water system. It was a privately owned utility, he explained. Later, he said, maybe it could be purchased but there was no compulsion to buy now. - Would it (incorporation) cost us more taxes? This was asked by the next questioner. Mr. Burns replied that if the ratepayers did not want any work done they ' could! get along oh the government grant but if there was work the ratepayers asked to have done, more taxes would have to be levied. In Gibsons, he explained, the same amount of taxes have been paid as would have been paid under government 'kt.%iua...��..M��Mu........Tr.Tnrrnr.'fl��iM^.T^^^ s! lei : : : -���c " "��� . - ii know* what would be the power of the commission;over the opening and closing hours of business. Mr. Burns replied this would be done by petition from the merchants and then a bylaw could be passed. Another questioner sought information on putting a zoning bylaw into effect and Mr. Burns covered some of the intricacies involved. On the subject of animals at large, posed' by a member of the audience, Mr. Burns jumped int0 the breach and explained that a municipality had the legal power to curb animals at large but did not have the physical power. Gibsons had the same problem and it meant setting up a pound bylaw which would mean establishing a pound and; the expense necessary which he maintained was beyond present requirements. He was of the opinion- the government should have a herd regulation covering the whole Peninsula area. How to incorporate? This was asked next and Mr. Parker explained the petition metJhod. It could be done by plebiscite but government authorities, he said, favored' the petition-method. Mr. Burden added* that if he was living in Seehelt he would vote for incorporation. He said he had seen many villages incorporated and none of them wanted to go back into . unorganized! territory; As 'regards taxation there-was little or no difference whether you paid the government or the municipality.' A lot depended on the, pace df growth, he said. "Elect good sound businessmen to your council and- you will have nothing to fear, you have certain control over their actions and it is a generally ;Vhappier situation than would be otherwise," he said!. He added that a good zoning bylaw helped to attract people who would be able to build knowing that a machine shop was not going to be built next door to them. * At the conclusion of the question period Magistrate Johnston explained the method to be used for balloting in the hall and who would be allowed to ballot/ "If you vote 'no' the committee will drop the matter for the time being but if there is a preponderance of 'yes' votes, they will g0 ahead with the petition. It is for you to indicate your preference." Those who voted were individuals who were resident in Seehelt or who owned property in Seehelt but lived elsewhere. ^ The resulting vote with Mr. Burden and Mr. Burns as scrutineers was 40 in favor and nine against.

H. Atkinson, the retiring president, told the annual meeting of the Canadian Bankers' Association recently. . Up to April 30, 1955, with the mortgage program in effect only slightly more than a year, the chartered banks have committed more than $210,- 000,000 in housing loans, said Mr. Atkinson, who today completed his two-year term as president. "Of the total number of housing units approved for loans under the act, 40 percent are being financed by the chartered' banks," continued Mr. Atkinson; adding that the extent of bank participation was "a notable contribution toward easing the housing problem throughout CanadJa." Mr. Atkinson noted that the chartered banks had entered with energy'and dispatch the latest field of special banking legislation ^��� the Home Improvement Loans sections of the National Housing Act. Between Feb. 1, when the legislation went into effect,. and May 5, 2,500 loans totalling $3,250,00 had been recorded with Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. ' 'During the short -life of this new banking service," he said, "loans have been averaging $1,000,000 a month���a fig^ ure, I believe, that will increase as both banks and home owners become more familiar with this lending field." Dancers perform For the audience of the dancing display at Roberts Creek Hall, the show was a delightful "mixture of wonderment at the skill, and convulsive merriment at some of the antics and facial expressions.

(Angela) Hamer of Vancouver, and three-year- old Maria. After an emergency operation in Vancouver, Mrs. Alma Scott of Porpoise Bay is recuperating as well as could be expected., A long time resident, Mrs. Mickey (Mary) Blanchard, of Seehelt with her son Del is moving to Vancouver. Her late husband "Chuck" was the owner of Chuck's Motors, now known as Peninsula Logging Supply under the management of O and O Logging Co. Mrs. Blanchard said she may return if she finds Del and herself do not care for city life. One little fellow was determined to get a free ride on ���the ferris wheel when the carnival was in town. When the man stopped the wheel, the small one would dart under the rope and clamber clumsily onto the seat, and- sit there with a^ beguiling look on his face. . Finally the man' at the controls, amused by this tenacity, put the bar across ��the seat too late! A rather breathless voice was -heard! to call "Here, Major come here you naughty pup!" Mr. and Mrs. Joe Rodgers, of Seehelt, proudly presented their young son, Robin, with a nine pound (and over) baby, sister, Wednesday at St. Mary's Hospital, Pender Har- , bour. In view of the fact B:C.fElgc- .tric will be supplying'thi^ district with power in the months to come, readers of The Coast News might be interested in B.C. Electric developments. Here is one: Working two shifts a day, a small*army of B.C. construction men and battalions of specialized! machines have whittled a mountain shoulder* into a molehill to build the 12,000- foot power canal at BCE's Se- ton hydro-electric plant a mile south of Lillooet. * Twelve months away lies deadline when the $8,700,000 job must be finished and 42,- 000 kilowatts���enough , for a city of 60,000���flash south to swell the Lower Mainland's supply of power. In a nutshell, Seton station will use for a second time the water which has already spun the turbines at the Bridge River plant, 20 miles away on Lake Seton. By harnessing the water as it drains from the lake toward the Fraser River and combining it with the flow from Cay- oosh Creek, nearly 60,000 hp can be generated, without the cost of installing a large storage dam for year-round operation. That makes it a dream from the engineer's point of view. But there- are also some headaches: That 12,000-foot canal must be finished with machine-like precision. To preserve all the "fall" possible until the final drop to the power-house, the grade tilts just 3/8 of art inch per 100 feet���about 5 ' feet along the 2 1/4 mile length of the channel. ��� That calls for extreme accuracy in grading the canal' embankments and pouring the reinforced concrete lining: But BCE engineers and the general contractors, Emil Anderson, Ltd., of-Hope, figure" they'll make it. '���.'���''. '���'" In the 18 months the work has been going on, hard-driving crews have'.. accomplished plenty. ' 1. They've - carved away . more than 1,250,000 cubic yards from a mountain shoulder to form the canal. That's enough material to surface 700 miles���nearly half the length ���of the Alaska Highway. 2. They've completed a dam, spillway and fishladder on Seton Creek t0 control the flow of water and divert it into the 12,00-foot canal. 3. They've more than half so that Cayoosh Creek will completed a 1,500-foot tunnel drain into Seton.' Lake andx swell the flow to the powerhouse. 4. The powerhouse itself, about a mile and a half below Lillooet on the West Bank of the Fraser, is approaching completion and the scroll-case for the turbine, a pipe 16 feet in diameter, curved' like a giant snail, is now being installed.

A sense of humor is a great help. Many years ago I went t0 a small, town to preach. I was met at the station by an 84-year-old man with a horse and buggy. He was a lively old man and so was his horse. I got into ,the buggy with some hesitation. Them I pulled a boner. I said "Isn't that a lively horse for ah old man to drive?" He answered: "It certainly is, and I . wouldn't let an old- man touch her." The 84-year:old man, ' chuckled, and I knew I deserved the rebuke. Later, I found lliis old man was the. liveliest and best-loved . man in the town. His sense of humor was irrepressible. Every Sunday he conducted a Bible class of 60 members. He reminded me of the- hu- imorist, Tom Hood, who in his last illness, had a large mustard plaster put on his chest. Hood, always a small man, looked at the plaster and said: . "That is an awful lot of rrius- -tard for such a little bit of meat." When people act naturally I think they live longer and are happier. In J- M. Barrie's book "The Little Minister," he tells of the lively young minister coming out of church on a windy Sunday and his hat blowing over a fence. He leaped over the fence and grabbed his hat. The old people were shocked and called a meeting ictf the officials of the church t0 discuss the affair. The old man, more liberal than others, protested that the minister had a right to chase the hat. To this, one solemn official said: ���"If "the minister is going t0 run he should run very reverently." , What kind of a wiggle that would be I'll never know. ���> Association with youngsters keeps people young.

Little Theatre actors and winners of drama festival awards, they are also known for their work in Toronto radio and television dramas. Oliver Wendell - Holmes said: "It is enthusiasm for some cause that makes life worth, living." That is profoundly true. Recently a man died in England whom I knew well. He retired from teaching school at 65 and began the, study of languages. Before he died at 90 he had a fair knowledgeof- seven languages, and to the end he was thrilled with his interests. There is no valid reason why time should write wrinkles on the soul. Another old, man found a hobby in attending children s parties, and being the "life of v the party." He had learned some simple tricks ct�� magic and he enjoyed it as much as the youngsters. Talking about tricks-1 am reminded of a story of Canon Ainger, once Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral. He loved children's parties and was once invited toi one in London. Dressed in full clericals, he arrived at the address given him. When the servant opened the door he said: "Don't let them know I am here." Then he flopped onto his knees and made for a rocm from which he heard voices. He grunted like a pig, crowed like a rooster, and barked like a dog. Instead of children's laughter, he was astonished at the si- ' lenc.e.

M.- CAMPBELL SECHELT 83 W 8 Coast News June 23, 1955 The ball game between Chops' Mops and the Old Timers in the ballpark Monday night was an official score- keeper's nightmare. * Coaches . of both sides shuffled their teams about, made substitutions not according to Hoyle, and1 generally strived to confuse the other side. Who was next at bat was always an interesting problem even though confusing. At the start of the game it was evident the team of males described as "Old: Timers" were thoroughly disorganized and the event proceeded to a complete shambles in spite of the masterful coaching by a representative of the forces of law and order. , ��' The girls naturally acted with all the proverbial dtecor- um of a girls' ball team and deserved the sympathy of the numerous umpires that appeared to be scattered at convenient places. During one daring dash to first base the first baseman (male) kept his foot off the bag because he feared he would get spiked by the cnrushing runner. This attempt to obtain the sympathy of the umpires fell flat. The gals, game to the last cheer, now want to meet the real Old Timers. They feel they could play a better game - than the substitute team coached by Cpl. Morrison. The score���according to the last official count was 17-10. Chuck Tompkins is getting a bull-dozer to fill the hole he made when he bounced off first base. Ball scouts from the Kiwanis Club were on hand for Monday night's game and , after careful consideration of the calibre of play by the girls have come, to the conclusion that the Kiwanis team of known professional ball players would be pleased to show the girls and Chops McGean just how ball can be played by men who really know how. Proceeds will be in aid of the VON so spectators are asked to save some two-bit or four-bit pieces to put in to collection. A date for the game will be announced later.

The Firemen have now taken over the lead. The game of the week was Wilson Creek's victory over Port Mellon Sunday night. Johnnny Clayton shut-out the Port Mellon nine 1-0 in one of the closest games this year. Al Jackson was the big gun for Wilson Creek and if it hadn't been for Port Mel Ion's tight infield it couid have been a high scoring contest. The Merchants lost twice during the week as the Firemen knocked them off V-'-fi on Tuesday night and Pender edged them out 4-2 on Sunday. Seehelt upset Wilson Creek 14 13 Tuesday but were swamped 16-5 on Sunday by the Firemen. Wilson Creek downed the Firemen 6 3 in the replayed game on Friday. I would like to thank Mr. H. Roberts, secretary, MPS league, zone councillor of BCASA for his letter in which he didn't quite fully explain the facts of the suspension of a player and the replayed! games. If Mr. Roberts as zone councillor thought I was cluttering , up the minds of the fans with trash and untruths I think it was his job to report to. the fans what was going on in a concise, factual report. ; Fans make the game and? it is only fair to keep them posted on what is happening. For the information of the fans andi the zone councillor, I - would like, to make it clear that I am not a staff reporter for this paper nor am I statistician for the MPS league. I merely write down my own opinions on sports as I did in this case. As for my status as manager of a team I keep that separate of my column and think that the zone councillor should too. As far as being notified by mail of the meeting in . question, never sir, never. . The fans who attend ball games in Gibsons are wondering what happened to the field that the School Board promised. Also the fact that the vision at he old! field is blocked by groups of players huddled together and coats and spectators drapedi over the fence. Let's give the fans a chance, after all they contribute the do-re-me that keeps the teams operating. ' : * I understand that there,, 4s a service station operator now S5 poorer for offering Millie Germaine of Chops Mops; this sum if she hit a home run in the game apainst the "Old Timers." Millie obliged by hitting one and! then turning the money into the kitty as did the men with their share of the night's proceeds. The ironic part is that the ' fielder who let the ball go through is an employee of the service station. Looking for a job, Dave? Wilson Creek to beat Seehelt on Sunday.

At the half-way point it was anybody's ��� game. Orioles won 13-5. Pitchers were Robin McSav- aney for Orioles and Keith Anderson who was relieved by Gary, Spicer in the last inning. ���- The game between Gibsons Firemen and the Seehelt Cubs saw the Cubs edge out the Firemen 10-9 at Seehelt. bhored at party An enjoyable party of the Fair Committee was held at Mrs. M. Turner's home/on Friday night, June 17, to honor Mr. Norman Sergeant. Mr. Roy Malyea, the new chairman, expressed! the appreciation of the committee for Mr.. Sergeant's conscientious efforts during- the past eight years for the benefit of the Fair. It was regretted that Mrs. Sergeant could not be present owing to a severe cold, also that Mr. A. H. Peppar of An- more on doctor's advice, because of a recent fail, was a reluctant absentee. Two fellows &t Porpoise Bay did a lot of unexpected acrobatics while trying to pull a boat onto the wharf. The tow rope evidently became tired of playing tug-o'- war, split asunder with the mighty efforts of the two, and exploded them into a rolling, somersaulting mass of pure astonishment. They were too surprised to be hurt, they said. Ask Bill Scott or Ron Hughes if they've1 - got any bruises they can show! OFFICE BURGLARIZED The office of the Peninsula Logging Supply, Seehelt, was entered on the night ef Thurs., June 16 and some cash, totalling about $6, was taken. Len Stanton, welder for the firm, discovered the loss. Friday morning when he went to work. He stated there was a small amount of money spilled on the floor beside the safe. Porpoise Bay ' Mr. and Mrs. George Page of Porpoise Bay left Sunday night for River's Inlet and Johnstone Straits where . they will be running a fish packer for J. H. Todd and Sons. They will be away until the end of the fishing season in their chartered packer, MV Friedship IV. The children Gail and" parrel will be staying at home with Mrs. Page's mother. �� Roberts Creek July 2 is the big night for the Community Hall. The Port Mellon orchestra will supply the music and it is expected that the hall will be crowded. It begins the drive to buy colored siding for the outside of the building. During the winter the inside walls and stage were painted, chairs purchased!, a new oil stove installed in the kitchen and hot water put in. If the outside has its face lifted it will be a credit^to the community and. certainly it has been .useful and instrumental in the growth" of the district. ���. �� Tickets are just a dollar and you may send a dollar in to the secretary of the Hall Board if you just want to help and not dance.
