BY MRS. E. LUMSDEN f S CREDIT? Credit rating institutions are taking a look at the credit situation along this coastal area and it can safely be surmised, are wondering. y . They have good reason for wondering. There seems to be a reasonable amount of money floating around but not.too much g�� it. is being used.to pay off debts in what might be considered a normal space of time. Banks are looking somewhat more closely at their commitments and it is becoming more difficult to obtain leans. It can- no* fee said it is-because the banks do not want to lend riioney. That is *aie way they make themselves useful to a community. Betail (merchants in Gibsons are also taking a look at the credit situation *and are in process of organizing a credit bur- > caaceE their own. This means that information on creditors who a*ie.<etec5dedly slow or just plain defaulters will be available to aeary .merchant within the bureau. All these factors, credit rating institutions, banks and retail KteTcbanis, cannot all be wrong about the credit situation. What m i��/a<q8_g? One clue might he that some people have not yet caught Tap with the business tempo /that is rapidly over-running ..<&�� area. It could be, as The Coast News has, mentioned before, l&ai some people are still living in the three boats a week days said have not yet realized that business is now operating like fire ferries, in a much faster tempo - seven ferries a day at the peak and 14 ferries a day promised for this summer. One's credit rating is something that should1 not be regarded too lightly. It could mean the making or'breaking of a business. Tfuere. are various businesses quite sound financially but their "feoo&keeping, if any, must be in horrible shape, so horrible that St would take the best of income tax experts to sort out the mess. This should not be the case. If a man wants to remain in business today he should be .businesslike. He should have a set ef: books, even if a simple system - which might be best, were used. Merchants, including The Coast News, serve customers, _3__o_nptly Vwhere possible. The individuals concerned are pleased to-obtain the goods asked for. But are theyi pleased when you threaten them with court action to collect what is rightfully belonging to the merchant*. Not oh your life! They are indignant. The merchant is not supposed to feel indignant because Itis overdraft at the bank is costing him money --an overdraft he would not have if debtors paid their bills. There are merchants in this area who can show a rather lengthy list of past due debts, some small, some large and some fairly steep. The debtors unless definitely broke, may tbxnk they are smart in avoiding squaring up their debt but they are not as smart as they; think they are. One's debt record has * Iiafeit of travelling alongside of one, like a shadow. As 5xas been stated before in these columus, if someone was fe earmark a $100 jbdll to be passed from hand to -hand for the csqriicif purpose of clearing up debts, a considerable amount ceariS&ifoe wiped off the books... . . , ; ; 13ae Coast News is not writing oh the credit situation because of any serious condition in its own monetary, situation. It._. -fees have a few negligent accounts, which if paid up would- e&__H_ up its bank overdraft quite nicely. The Coast News would Bioe to draw the general public's attention to the fact that tfcKsir negligence adds to he cost of doing business. Who pays far this added ccst? Naturally the public. Howls about the high east of living have not so far considered the past due debt -situ- a&H-m. When a grocer marks up the price of a can of beans he "&as in.his mind continually the overdue debt figure. Maany stores on the prairies in smaller centres have gone on �� strictly cash basis because they.find they cannot finance someone else's debt. Thaft situation can arise here. Maybe it s&ouid and the sooner the better. Chain stores operating on a cash basis have a price advantage. Wherever they settle, they prosjper. Few have ever been forced to close their doors. One recognizes an honest attempt to pay off a debt and one also recognizes an effort to evade payment. Money is useless unless used. Its velocity, to use a monetary term, is what makes Editor: We have been helped to reestablish ourselves after the fire and no words can ever express the thanks we feel to one and all for the kind, thoughtful generousity which helped so much to ease the burden. ... _. : From Port Mellon, through Gibsons, Roberts Creek and Wilson Creek people sent and brought clothings dishes, furniture, canned fruit and vegetables, hampers of . groceries, potatoes and other vegetables, flour, sugar, blankets, pillows, lamps, towels, djsh towels, sheets andV pillow .cases, kitchen ware of all kinds, and lust about everything, that goes to make, up a home. To all those including the Canadian Red Cross, who offered fteds, stoves, etc., which we couldn't, make use of, we would also like io say "thank you", just to know that the thought was there helped to brighten "our days.

Augustine tells of. how" he greedily sought honor and a position of eminence. He wanted the gains and successes of the world, and to the unusual degree he secured them.

He passed a poor beggar who had just enjoyed a meal and was happy, - almst hilarious.

Anxiety about some future t|sst actuary makes us less able to .meet the very experience we dread. When we tryi to carry to-day's load and to-morrow's load at one time we inevitably invite disaster. Someone has said, "No man ever gave way beneath the burdens of tc-day. during late April and May. imperial Oil will bring the top teen-age driver from, each local contest to a one-day regional final to compete for permanent trophies and cash awards offered by the company.

In the; majority of cases they join the Masonic Order. -.;��������� After the Majority Degree, there followed the Flower Talk; which is a Tribute to Mothers, during which many a tear dropped unnoticed as the audience listened with admiration to the impressive and touching words of the young man who delivered them with' such fine oratory. One of the two lads receiving the flowers for their mothers was Barrie Pitkethely who is well known at Roberts Creek where his family has had a summer home for many years, and who , lately joined the Beaver Chapter. . '.-..:��������� Questions and answers fol-.v lowed- the y demonstration and;y. it was learned that a DeMolay y Club could be formed in any. small community if ten boys 'between the ages of 14 to 21 would join.

The boys are required to be of good character and must be sponsored by: a Mason.. Unlike Job's Daughters, he need not be related to a* Mason.
