For the past 18 years it has been handled through local insurance agents. This is the report the insurance committee presented the board: No tenders were received from local insurance agents or brokers in response to the invitation to bid on the board's blanket all property insurance coverage The committee recommends the .acceptance of ^Armstrong and Taylor's proposal to insure the board's property against fire, for a three year premium of $17,973, based on a total insurable value of $2,527,986. (Elphinstone Secondary School, valued at $687,000, would be covered up to $750,000). The committee further recommends that Armstrong and Taylor be appointed as the board's sole insurance broker with complete responsibility to administer the entire insurance program for the board. j When chairman Joseph Horvath called for the vote, Mrs. Peggy Volen voted against. Those in favor were Trustees Mrs. Celia Fisher, Leo Johnson, Architect sketch plans have been submitted to Victoria on the Langdale and Gibsons Elementary School projects. The Langdale sketch plans were approved and working drawings will shortly be sent to Victoria for final approval. The planning committee reported. The Gibsons sketch plans were rejected by Victoria as being not according to the Don Douglas, W. P. Malcolm and Cliff Thorold. Mrs. Volen on learning that only one insurance company was invited to tender when the motion calling for tenders referred to three companies, sought a reason for the change. Secretary Treasurer Peter Wilson explained that even though three companies could have tendered they would have all presented the same set of figures in view of their using the same brokerage sources. He maintained they all re-insured through the same sources. Chairman Horvath queried the action and Mr. Wilson re-., plied that sometimes conditions change after a motion has been passed. The board was informed that the committee decided to write one firm only, on the presumption they would all quote the same figures. This change in insurance companies will mean that Sept. 15 will be the cutoff date for the policies now in force. On that date those policies will be cancelled and new ones issued by the new insurer will be in force. It will also mean that there will be a rebate on the old policies to the school board amounting to probably $5,000 or more on policies cancelled before their expiry date. * * original submission and as being too costly for the money available. The committee plans to visit Victoria to discuss this matter further. Sketch plans for Elphinstone Secondary school and the school board office have now been sent to Victoria for approval.

Big day at Port Mellon Local 297 of IBPS and PMW have arranged a Labor Day program, at Seaside Park, Port Mellon. Mr. Michael Blaney and Mr. Fred Inglis are in charge Preceding the festivities, on Saturday, Sept. 3, a dance, to begin at 9 p.m. will be held at the Community Hall.

Hot dogs and pop will be provided by Local 297 for the children. Three were nominated Monday to run for Mackenzie constituency in the Monday, Sept. 12 provincial election. The three are: Mrs. Isobel Pear. Dawson, housewife of Powell River, for the Social Credit party; Anthony John Gargrave, lawyer of Vancouver for the New Democratic party and Joseph L. Benner, merchant of Sechelt for the Liberal party. Plans for an all-candidate meeting in Gibsons may not materialize in view of the tight schedule Mrs. Dawson has which does not give her an open date. However a meeting with Mr. Gargrave and Mr. Benner as speakers is under considera- .ticn. Pool funds questioned Two items aroused interest at Tuesday night's meeting of Gibsons municipal council. One concerned how the money was to be raised for the proposed Centennial swimming pool and the other was the proposed transfer of Kinsmen Park from the Westminster Anglican diocese to Gibsons municipality. The first issue was raised by Councillor Fred Feeney when Councillor Sam Fladager reported the status of the Centennial swimming pool. He wondered where the money was coming - f rom'r He -learned " that' at present the Centennial committee can account for about $9,000 and according to Centennial chairman Fladager the rest would be raised without trouble. Chairman Wes Hodgson brought up the matter of Kinsmen Park and read to council a letter from the diocesan office which agreed to turn the park over to the village if it could comply with reservations made in the Dugald will that the area be used for free sports and games for the young. In other words it is to be kept as a public park for public Council has for consideration sufficient information on which to come to a conclusion. In the meantime the Kinsmen club has signified it would be quite willing to let the village have the park under its control. The issue will be brought up at next meeting of council. School to get pool The district school board at last Thursday night's meeting decided to interest Gibsons Centennial committee in building its Centennial swimming pool project at either Gibsons Elementary school or Elphinstone Secondary school. Placing of the pool was left open to allow the Centennial committee wider discretion in case it ran into soil difficulties. Former council chairman A. E. Ritchey who has done bulldoz- in gat both sites told the board that there might be a hardpan problem. Present at the meeting were Councillor Sam Fladager, chairman of Gibsons Centennial committee, Don Hauka, Eugene Yablonski and B. Littlejohn, committee members. Secretary-treasurer Peter Wilson said he checked the School act and could not find reason, why school land could not be used. Mr. Fladager added that he had checked with Provincial Centennial chairman L. J. Wallace and said Mr. Wallace was not holding Gibsons Centennial too close on location of the pool. Chairman to resign Mrs. Christine Johnston, chair man of Sechelt's village coun- cilihas: decided Jo,rjesiign. at. the end of this year thus renouncing the second year of her term. Mrs. Johnston who has been re-elected by acclamation for each term she has served since incorporation of the village has decided she has had enough of Sechelt's municipal politics, par ticularly that of the last couple of years. While there is no official notice of her resignation before council, she has implied definitely that she has had enough of municipal affairs and is quite willing to let someone else bear the brunt after her term comes to its half-way mark at the end of the year. During the last few months she has not only had to battle with council disputes but faced a serious operation necessitating her stay in St. Mary's Hospital for a period in between council meetings. 100 hear Gaglardi at Sechelt Project Referendum Architect Gibsons $191,800 $238,000 Langdale 56,500 53,000 School Board Office 54,000 56,500 Elphinstone , 221.600 226.000 $523,900 $573,500 There is a potential deficit of $50,000 so far, based on the plans as drawn.

Letters have now been received from three landscape architects expressing interest in working with the board and its buildings architect. The committee plans to interview one or more of these landscape architects and to bring a recommendation to the board at a future date. A tender of $100 has been received from A. J. Bergnach for the paint shop on the Maintenance Shop site. This being the only tender received, the committee recommended its acceptance. Punt results Kirk Thomas, Gibsons, and Gary Davis, Port Mellon, were finalists in the Little Leo Punt Pass and Kick contest held Sunday at Empire Stadium, Vancouver. Kirk scored for second place and Gary placed third, winning footballs autographed by the B.C. Lions. More than 100 persons attended the reception for Hon. Philip Gaglardi, minister of highways who appeared in Sechelt's Legion hall last Friday afternoon supporting the candidacy of Mrs. Isabel Dawson, Socred can didate for Mackenzie constituency. Coffee, tea and cookies preceded talks by Mrs. Dawson and Hon. Mr. Gaglardi. Harvey Hubbs was chairman. Mrs. Dawson stressed the need for more governmental attention being paid to senior citizens and Hon. Mr. Gaglardi in his opening remarks stressed governmental policies in this direction. He cited the example in his own constituency in aid of senior citizens, where an $850,000 senior citizens complex is being built containing 84 suites for single and double occupancy. The provincial government provided one-third of the cost he said and occupants pay $45 a month for single suites and $67 for doubles with no heat or power bills to pay. He urged his listeners to take a good look at Socred free enterprise policies then pointed to the diametrically opposite situation in Mackenze constituency where a socialist NDP opposed to free enterprise, was elected. He asked his listeners to tell him of one place in the world where socialist theories had survived. The NDP was exploiting labor and in amplification pointed to the struggle now between union officials within the NDP, with the party leader, Mr. Strachan, battling with Paddy Neale over union affairs. "We are your servants," he told the audience, "and you deserve a better deal." The NDP was opposing just about everything the Socred government was proposing. As regards Liberals, he said they were preaching better relationship with Ottawa if they were elected. He described this as empty words. Commenting on claims there were too many pulp mills under construction and operating he proposed that the Chinese should be taught how to use Kleenex. That would provide a good market, he added. The government, he said was reducing taxes and increasing benefits. He pointed to the increasing population, 16 percent, in British Columbia and outlined the increases that were being supplied to education facili ties and to hospitals. What the government was asking for was a strong mandate and no fiddling around with this socialistic business. Mrs. Dawson, he said earlier in his talk was a woman of great ability and tremendous tenacity. He did not know anyone who was more sincere. He appealed on behalf of the government that she be elected. Answering questions, Hon. Mr. Gaglardi said he did not expect the officers of the ferry fleet would go on strike. He was still working on the road through to Squamish but he could not make any promises until he had the plans in his hands. On general road complaints he urged his listeners to keep on writing and he would fix their roads. He said there were plenty of areas without good roads but he tried to share the dollars equitably on such construction. Rev. Barry Jenks of Sechelt questioned Mr. Gaglardi on his attitude towards opposition members. Mr. Jenks was of the opinion opposition members were essential to the mainterv ance of democracy. Mr. Gaglardi parried by suggesting he was attacking their manner of opposing. Coast News, Sept. 1, 1966. Coast Mtms The good old dollar (By C. J.

In 1939, in fact, the average factory worker put in 47 hours for a wage of $20 a week. Today in the manufac turing industry the average is 41 hours for a wage of $90 a week. The $5,000-a-year man is now almost the rule, rather than the exception. Looking at these figures, it is obvious that we are much better off today. But a study made by the National Industrial Conference Board indicates that, because of taxation and infla- Hit from both sides Unity in the Community gets things done ^aiuttiuuiuuuuiuiuntM^ Serfs for the pampered? 'Mackenzie constituency is one of the richest ridings in this fabulous province of British Columbia. This statement was uttered by a member of the Social Credit government cabinet in Gibsons Legion hall, the night Mrs. Isabel Dawson was nominated to run as the Socred candidate for Mackenzie constituency. Hon. Ray Williston, minister of lands, forests and water resources made the statement and in amplification during his speech to an audience of at least 50 people, stressed the importance of the wealth of the area to the surrounding communities on the Strait of Georgia by the supplying of lags for the mills on this waterfront. Another matter which at the same time should be drawn to the attention of the general public, particularly in this part of Mackenzie constituency, is the 1965 annual report of the Water Resources Service, which falls within Mr. Williston's portfolio. This annual report contains a greal deal of information about the services supplied various sections of the province and in view of the treatment an area delegation received when it strived to find out what it could do about water resources, one wonders if the annual report is just a fairy tale. For instance one can read that the Kelowna office supervised the installation of the Canyon Waterworks District's new domestic water supply system. Also a prelimiary report on a proposed domestic water supply system for an area along Lakeshore road, south of Okanagan Mission, was prepared. The annual report contained plenty of other interesting inforT mation. For instance a report was prepared on domestic water supply possibilities for the proposed Goat Mountain Waterworks District and Alice Siding near Creston. A study was carried out and a report prepared on the water supply of Arrow Creek near Creston. If anyone cares to read through the report they will find numerous other examples of work being done elsewhere that fits the situation in this part of Mackenzie constituency. The question over which one must ponder is how high up on the Socred totem pole must a wealthy constituency be, before its lower strata officials will deign to look in its direction. With taxation from all this Mackenzie constituency wealth piling up in government coffers it would appear that the people of this area are just plain serfs for the pampered sections of this province, where cabinet ministers spread government largesses with the greatest of ease. Do not think for one minute that the writer is taking a dim view of the Socred candidate running in Mackenzie constituency. Such is not the case. Mrs. Isobel Dawson when she heard of what had occurred in Victoria to a delegation from this area, hastened to smooth over the breach and has strived to help out wherever she could. If Mackenzie constituency is one of the wealthiest as Mr. Williston has stated, why is it that its populace is not part of its wealth.? Under a Social Credit bill of rights we are second class citizens and apparently will remain so until ��� until we see the light?? Politicos ts> subjects The OBC plans ten one-hour dramas with a fictional member of parliament as its central character and politics the theme. Some may recall last year's Slattery series that ran on United States TV stations which contained insight into the life of a young man in politics. Years ago when the Saturday Evening Post was to be found in most homes, Samuel G. Blyth supplied some rather interesting stories on politics and also wrote a book on a political campaign, fiction of course, but based on experience. Why should we not have political life, trades union affairs and such like developed in a fictional manner so that more people would have a better grasp of life in these areas? Why have they been on a veilboten list? .jNot too long ago the CBC had a five minute early morning talk ���on Union affairs across the country. It allowed one to get a better perspective on what was going on in the world of unionism. The news we usually get about politicians is concerned with politics and not the day to day life he has to lead.

Letting inflation inflate From the Christian Science Monitor Most signs continue to point toward the unlikelihood of any strong, early administration steps against inflation. This interpretation of the White House attitude is underlined by the vagueness and weakness pf the latest report from the President's advisory committee on labor-management policy. This report did little more than urge (1) voluntary restraint by the public, (2) continued attention to revised and revisable wage-price guideposts, and (3) a quarterly review of the economy by the committee. None of this shows any great measure of economics or political muscle. In fact, it leaves the whole question of fighting inflation almost exactly where the committee found it. Despite the warnings of many economists and the concern of millions of private citizens (ask any housewife who has just returned from the supermarket), it seems increasingly clear that President Johnson has no wish to initiate early anti-inflationary action. Not only is he concerned lest such action deflate the economy, but he obviously hesitates to take drastic steps (such as a tax increase) before the November election. It is also possible that the White House is comforting itself with the belief that certain built-in deflationary forces are at work. Among these is the steady rise in the interest rate, which makes itself felt in lessened borrowing and decreased economic expansion. For example, new housing starts, considered one pf the prime indications of how an economy is faring are down some 11 percent so far in 1966 as compared with last year. Such a drop is a brake against a higher inflation rate. Reports from Washington say that the Federal Reserve Bank intends to let bank credit ��� already tighter than at any time since the 1920's ��� grow still tighter. This will be felt at a thousand different points, but perhaps most importantly in a decrease in industrial expansion. Yet none of this ��� either the built-in factors, the action of the Federal Reserve Bank or the appeal for restraint and observance of guideposts ��� has stopped this year's increase in inflationary pressures. We think that the White House is playing with dangerous fire in refusing to take early and positive steps to combat these pressures. Since early spring we have been calling for bold and concrete measures. Each passing month has made their need more obvious. We hope that the President can be persuaded that it is the American pocketbook, not the November election, which is important. SCHOOL DISTRICT No. 46 (SECHELT) COURT OF REVISION A Court of Revision for the list of electors of the rural area of this School District will be held at the School Board Office, Gibsons, B.C., commencing at 10 a.m. on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24th, 1966. The Court will continue to sit as long as may be necessary to consider and rule on all appeals. Any person who wishes to make such an appeal in respect of the list of electors must file the appeal in writing with the Secretary-Treasurer before September 20th. The Court of Revision shall hear all complaints and correct and revise the list of electors, and may a. correct the names of electors in any way wrongly stated therein; or b. add the names of electors omitted from the list; or ���c. strike out the names of persons from the list who are not entitled to vote or who are disqualified from voting; or d. correct any other manifest error therein. tion, the figures are quite misleading. The Board is a private economic research group headquartered in New York and the study dealt with, U S. statistics, but no doubt it would apply to Canada in principle. The income tax takes so much more than in 1939 and inflation has so reduced the purchasing power of the dollar that a U.S. worker has to earn $13,234 a year to be as well off as the $5,000 earner of 1939. The escalation is even more pronounced in the higher income brackets. In 1939 the $25,000-a-yoar man who was married and had two children paid $1,727 income tax. To have as much money to spend today he has to have an income of $76,416, because out of that sum the income tax takes $22,562 and the effects of inflation will subtract- another $30,581. . ��� , As noted, these are American figures, but there is evidence that inflation and taxation have undermined workers' income to about the same extent in Canada. As a measure 0f how much less the dollar buys because ol inflation there is the point that the consumer price index has risen from 63.5 in 1939 to 143.8 in June of this year, which means that the cost of living has gone up by about 125 per cent in the period. On the taxation side, the combined take of the three levels, of government as a proportion of the country's total output of wealth has risen from less than 20 percent in 1939 to more than 32 percent today. To consider income tax only, in 1939 the average amount remitted to Ottawa by those Canadians in the $4,000 to $5,000 taxable income bracket ��� who were relatively well off since their incomes were four to five times that of the average factory worker ��� was only $71. Today the person with a taxable income of $650 pays a tax of $71. Those with a taxable income four to five times the average factory wage ��� that is, something like $20,000 a year ��� pay an income tax to Ottawa of $6,400. Perhaps it is pointless to mourn the passing of the good old days, but the workingman might reasonably yearn for the good old dollar. N.

If you're going abroad, the B of M can provide you special travellers cheques, or travellers letters of credit for large sums. Travellers cheques are much more comfortable than a money belt, we promise. Advt. TURKEY SALES INCREASE Canadan turkey output and sales continued to increase during the first six months of 1966. Up to the end of June, consumption of turkeys that had been slaughtered in registered plants totaled 55 million pounds ��� 24 percent higher than for the same period in 1965. Part of the increase in the per capita sales of turkey was due to the comparatively high retail price of beef and pork reached in late 1965 and maintained in 1966. Last June, retail price indexes of beef and pork were 152.2 and 144.6 (1949- 100) and the index of poultry was only 82.4.

DECKER BAL BLOCK ��� GIBSONS WEDNESDAY & SATURDAY FOR APPOINTMENTS���886-2166 Gargrave campaigns The New Democratic Party opened the 1966 provincial election campaign at Roberts Creek Legion hall Thursday of last week. Tony Gargrave, the NDP candidate took the opportunity to disclose his party's election platform. The program covered five points: stop rising prices, protect family health, end industrial strife, create better educational opportunities and end industrial pollution of air and water, he said. The provincial, government can help reduce the cost of living by the establishment of a consumer council separate from the government but financed from the provincial treasury. This council could test products and advise house wives of advantageous buys on the market and it could warn buyers of shoddy products, he said. "We should also bring under provincial ownership, auto insurance and telephone service to reduce rates as has been done with the B.C: Hydro and Power Authority. We also need more consumer protection in the area of conditional sales, interest rate disclosure, false advertising and door-to-door salesmen," he continued. The NDP candidate also stated that his party would bring in full chronic care at $1 a day for those chronically ill. "People are living longer," he said, "and we must and can afford to look after our older citizens when afflicted with chronic illness. "Ask a hospital administrator and he will tell you that a chronically ill person cannot stay in a hospital at $1 a day under BCHIS and neither can that person get coverage under BCHIS in a nursing home," Mr. Gargrave said. He also commented on labor- management relations, opportunity for higher education in rural areas and the dangers of pollution in communities and parks. Mrs. Billingsley Mrs. Georgie Billingsley who died in St. Mary's Hospital on August 28 was born in Verona, Ontario. After living for several years in Kelowna and Vancouver, she finally settled with her family in Sechelt over 40 years ago. Since that time she has been a devoted worker for all community activities and for her church. She served a term as president of the W.A. to St. Hilda's Church and was president for 12 years of the Guild which preceded the W.A. She was a keen worker for the Red Cross and she gave valuable support to all these activities with her beautiful handicrafts. A keen gardener she was never happier than when working in her flower garden. Sickness and physical handicaps assailed her but did not conquer her, and she was active until a few days before her death ��� a great loss to the community. Kiwanis boat winner First intimation for Mrs. Robert Page that she was the lucky winner of the 14 ft. Sangster- craft boat in the Kiwanis raffle was when she saw the announcement in the Coast News last week. Mrs. Page was vacationing at her Redrooffs cottage with daughter Marta and the notification had been sent to her home at Port Moody. When his wife bought the raffle ticket, Robert Page agreed to go halves with her, but he never got around to paying up the 50 cents which would have msde him an equal partner in the fine new boat. The Pages have taken their prize home to Port Moody but plan to bring it to Redrooffs next summer. The 25 names drawn in an elimination contest to see who would be the winner were: D. L. Vaughan, Mrs. M. Flack, Jim Waterhouse, B. Reeves, Walter Middlemass, J. Reiter, Mrs. W. D. Warren, M. Shoebottom, T. R. Nicholson, F. Psovsky, and Nancy Douglas of Gibsons; Stella Johnston and lona Strachan of Sechelt; Mrs. E. Thomas and M. Bulger of Port Mellon; Cap McAlpine, Hopkins . Landing; Wes Menard and T. C.

Port Mellon A rarity This is described by A. J. Charman of Gibsons area as a sunflower, garden type or to use its Greek name it is an Helian- thus. Mr. Charman when describing it said it was a month or more ahead of its natural flowering season. It was produced by early sowing under glass followed by protection until danger from frost was past. Few people know of the flower but they admire it at first sight, he said. He suggests it could be an appropriate floral emblem for the Sunshine Coast. (By M. BULGER) On August 16 Mrs. R.

You don't have to be to wear the new Athletic Stripes ... in contrasting colors accenting hipline, V neck and sleeves of the greatest Fall knits. Best colors in these sporty stripes are navy, grape or olive ... all with putty stripes. What's in a Bond? (I don't mean James) A bonded fabric has been head locked to a smoth, silky backing such as tricot or taffeta, for form an "instant" lining. The happy results are built-inshape retention and wrinkle resistance. The fabric will not fray or stretch and requires little pressing. Bonded lace is a fashionable favorite . . . from cute to elegant in cotton, Orion* or Terylene*. Bonding eliminates all the old bugaboos about sewing lace. By 1970 "Terylene" will have a new name: Fortrel*. Same fabric, different name. The change will be gradual, beginning this Fall. Remember, when you see the name Fortrel*, it's your old friend Terylene* with exactly the same wonderful wash and wear qualities. Bands of darker plastic afford a certain degree of modesty. Care to try sewing one for your self, as a joke of course? Use a long stitch and avoid ripping, as marks remain. Choose a simple pattern with the eased seams and use a fine sharp needle. Young Parisians have a way of knowing what's right and coming . . . sometimes even before the designers themselves fore the designers themselves, so it's important to know what they are wearing and thinking now. "L'Uniforme Parisienne" (that's what Lafayette calls it) is a slightly fitted shift with high, shallow scooped neckline and narrow sleeveless shoulders. Sounds like the relief we are looking for after all the ruffles, sleeves, colors and prints we've been wearing lately . . . elegant simplicity that emphasizes the wearer instead of the ensemble. Soft in the Head aptly describes the newest, smartest hats. Berets, pouffed domes softly gathered into a narrow headband, scarf hats and mobster caps carry out the theme. The clever gal who sews, can run up a hat to match every outfit from the leftovers (many chic hat patterns available). A couturier touch that spells elegance!

Sechelt ��� Ph. 885-2111 Ted Farewell Mr. and Mrs. Aeron Lewis, ,of Cardiff, Wales, have spent the summer visiting their daughter, Miss Ness Lewis, a home economics teacher in Elphinstone High school. Miss Lewis and her parents toured the States to California, went on to Mexico, and on their return made a trip to Vancouver Island. Cardiff was one of the cities which was bombed during the last war, but fortunately the winter was so cold that many of the bombs did not go off, and many dropped harmlessly in the nearby river. Mr. Lewis served for four years with the R.A.F. in India, Ceylon, Malaya and Hong Kong. He was based in Ceylon when the atom bombs were dropped THEY LIKE THE PLACE After traveling for a three week period to Victoria, Courtney, Campbell River, Qualicum Beach, Kelsey Bay looking for a new home Mr. and Mrs. W. Edwards of Hopkins Landing decided to return to the Sunshine Coast and remain where they are. They also fished in Buttle Lake. GET YOUR Vote for Isabel Dawson on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and shortly after VJ day August 15, 1945, he returned home to* Wales. Mr. Lewis has an administrative position with the University College in Cardiff, which has an enrollment of 3,000 students. He mentioned that education systems are quite different in Wales, as compared to Canadian schools. For one thing, students are required to finish 6th Form, which teaches university subjects, before they can be accepted for higher education. This system, he believes, reduces the number of dropouts from university, because of a lack of understanding on how to study and adjust to the university level. Mr. Lewis mentioned that the Welsh language is almost as ���old as Latin and Greek, and is the only ancient language which is still extensively used. He estimated that 700,000 Welsh people speak Welsh of a population of 3 million in Wales.

Mr. A. E. Ritchey bid $24,000 and Sicotte Bulldozing Ltd. bid $4,485. Mr. Porter advised that Sicotte's is acceptable and the Planning Committee recommended accordingly. In a letter to the school trustees Mr. Ritchey wrote: I have looked at the site and taken some levels with Mr. Porter's assistance and find a difference in height between high and low points of about 20 feet. A rough calculation of yardage to be moved comes to 34,000 cubic yards, much of which is hard- pan. That means there would be around 11 or 12 feet of cut at the top end and about 8 feet high fill at the lowest point and most of the material must be moved an average of 450 feet up to 600 feet. Allowance must be made of over 25 percent cut to fill for compaction. This makes it difficult to put in a proper tender on anything Fiesta week Taking a leaf out of West Vancouver's book where the sketch club stages an annual Fiesta week during which the stores each exhibit a painting by a local artist, Mrs. Kay Wells with support of the Sunshine Coast Arts Council is staging such an exhibition in Gibsons to run from September 1.

They were members of a party of 26 travelling under the Centennial Student Exchange. The picture shows them at Soames Pt. beach where they had lunch. The reason they are so close to the water was because it was the first time since reaen- ing B.C. that they" had been able to get close enough to salt- chuck to taste it. This most of them did, many of them for the first time. They found the salt- chuck was salty. After being greeted by local officials they moved on to Powell River.
