School crests are now on sale and there is a reduced rate for the pupils of the elementary school. t . We're losing a good sport and a good scholar in Ruth Westvand who left last week. The basket- bail team seems weak without her. * * * Two teams are being sent to the meeting of the P.T.A. on Monday night to debate. The subject of the debate is "Would Humanity Be Better Off if Nobel and others had not invented high -explosives?" * * * The Sechelt basketball teams played with the Gibsons teams on Thursday, Jan. 29. The girls' score: Sechelt 10; Gibsons 25. Eleanor Nelson and Gibson's Ruth Norris were the high scorers. The boys' game was close and at half time the score was 9-9. Gibsons Pat Slinn, Barry Stewart and Roy Wallis helped raise the score so that the final was: Sechelt 11; Gibsons 19. Rudy Crucil of Sechelt made many of Sechelt's points. Sechelt played a good game and we're looking forward to our visit to Sechelt. * * * . Mr. Trueman, Mrs. Rankin and Mrs. Knight selected the cast for the plays which will be presented sometime in March. * * * The results of the elections for the second term school officers are: Eleanor Shaw, president; Bill Prye, vice-president; Doreen Shaw, secretary; Sheila Klein, treasurer. We want to congratulate the first term officers for the splendid job they did and wish luck to the newcomers. This is not exactly school news but at the basketball game with Squamish and Gibsons' senior boys, Woodfibre was victorious. The vscore, Squamish 61; Gibsons 47. Bill Docker played a good game and brought in the most points for Gibsons. The score of the basketball game between Gibsons and Woodfibre was: Woodfibre 41; Gibsons 30. Again Bill Docker was high scorer for Gibsons. Jack Dunbar brought in most of Woodfibre points. It was a marvellous game and both teams put up a good fight. More than 120 students from 29 countries attended the International Student Conference to plan a program of world student relief for 1947-48. By D. ERICKSON 1 HOPE the readers who have not yet collected the recipe for the orange cake in this issue will try this. It was given to me by a Britannia friend and is very good. Quite a change from any other orange cake and grand for dad's lunch box. ORANGE CAKE Vz cup shortening, 1 cup white sugar, 2 eggs, % cup sour milk, 2 cups flour, 1 tsp. baking soda, 1 cup raisins, 1 orange. Squeeze juice from orange, put rind and pulp through food chopper with the cup of raisins. Cream fat with sugar, add eggs. Sift flour and soda and add to batter, alternately with fruit and milk. Bake about one hour in moderate oven, turn out, sprinkle orange juice and sugar on cake while warm. �� Some time since we have seen any reports about "flying saucers" but Mr. and Mrs. Veal saw. two round silvery objects travelling at a fast rate toward the city while they were gardening. We wonder if anyone else in the district reported on this. ��� * * * Mrs. Frank Luoma does not want to start a gold rush in Gibsons but on cleaning a chicken from there last week she found two small gold nuggets in the crop.

THIS second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: Elnowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of His coming? For since ��the fathers fell v asleep, all' things cpritiriue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly , are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the i water and-in the water: -Where- j by the world that then was;be- | ing overflowed with water, perr $ ished: But the heavens. and: the j earth, -which.* are nowy by ' itheJl same word are kept in store, re*f] served unto fire against the day^ of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, thati one day is with the Lord as d{j thousand years, arid a thousand years as one day. ^ The Lord d<&, not slack concerning his..'promise as some men courit slackness; bulj is long suffering to uswjard; riot willing- that �����: any should perish' but that all should come to re| pentance.���2�� Peter 3: 1-9; > ill $215 with Reservoir !'������ i , Watch for the Opening of Our NEW FURNITURE STORE 10% DISCOUNT TO VETERANS Commonwealth Kettae . 4.95 CASCO CHAIR 9.45 ��� CASCO FOLDING CHAIR 14.75 BABY CARREAGES Special ..'./;' . v. 34.50 4-pce.

"BUY MEAT WITH CONFIDENCE" H. KENNETT, Butcher ��� Gibsons, B.C. Next door to Bank of Montreal AS IF THE gigantic tasks facing the gallant little band which operates the Columbia Coast Mission, an effort of the Church of England in Canada, were not enough, there is the ever-present problem of carrying on financially. Rev. Heber Greene stoutly denies, that any of the four Mission ships will quit. "Somehow they will go on," he says, confident that donations from friends, not necessarily of this particular sect for their work is humanity-wide, circumscribed only by the needs of those they meet. In a stirring appeal for a continuance of the people's interest in,2B."C. coastal welfare, Rev. Greene pointed -out that closing of the Rock Bay hospital (about 80 miles;7north of Powell River) and the transfer of the Alert Bay hospital to another society does not mean the mission is w i t h d r a w i n g. "There's life in the old dog yet!" shouts the jovial gentleman of the cloth. "We've four mission ships to care for; St. Mary's Hospital at Pender Harbour (about 40 miles south of Powell River); as well as the Cottages for Aged Folk, also at the Harbour. ��� "I offer the following facts for your consideration, and then you car* judge for yourself whether or hot we have a real job to carry on with, and for the ten thousand folks bur Ships and hospitals and ourselves serve: "St. Mary's carries on as one of our responsibilities and, we see a mighty useful year's work ahead of us. As superintendent, I will do all I can to make the .hospital function well and Mi*. McColl, the new hospital secretary, is just as eager to make a go pt it as I, arid between us% all, we should see/real .pro^ gress this year. VWith the growing population in these parts, a population that probably numbers 2,000 within reasonable distance of the hospital, and another two to three thousand down Gibsons way that look to us yet as their hospital if they can't get into Vancouver hospitals, there is a big job on our hands. ' "All you need to do to convince yourself of the absolute necessity of a hospital here is to come in to the hospital when it is full of patients and ask them where they all come from. Jervis Inlet, Sechelt Inlet, Las- queti Island, Texaua Island, Halfmoon Bay, Sechelt, and occasionally Gibsons, over 50 miles away by a government highway. No doubt there'll be a hospital built at Gibsons. All power to the project as the population down there is growing by leaps and bounds, and they should have a hospital similar-to burs' to- meet their medical needs. There's room for both hospitals and we wish them luck. Well, that's one big job still on our hands ��� St. Mary's -Hospital, Pender Harbour. , HOME FOR AGED "And the. Aged Folks' Guest Houses just around the -point from the hospital have rin them the seed of a plan that can be enlarged indefinitely as funds 1 permit. I am -giving serious thought to the erection of a central community house into which those, of our guests now carrying on .under .their own.. steam could move, and at long last give up-housekeeping., . "This would .save them the grief of trying to get accommodation in the larger provincial institutions in the cities. But it would involve a^ very substantial capital outlay. Also | the employment ��of a housekeeper who would be a cook and a j anitor. Before committing myself to such a plan, I would have to be sure of an initial outlay of $10,000 for the building and equipment, and then have fundsv to pay what staff the place would require. But there are so few institutions for the aged, that the project has a very strong appeal. Each guestv would have his or her own oedroom, and there would be a common sitting-rdbm and a common dining-room. I have in mind Accommodation for perhaps ten single guests. The present project of suites for single folk or couples is working nicely but one or two- are -now near the point��� ivhere May' should be free from the labor of house-keeping. A BIG JOB AHEAD * "Then down at this end there is the work of the mission ship *Jbhh Antle.' I am her skipper, and I am keen to reach the day when I can devote' most of my time to the challenging job of ministering to everybody in this area north of Halfmoon Bay. That in itself is a big job. It grows on one as he slowly builds up a circle of friends in the inlets and on the islands, all of whom eventually come to regard a mission ship as an importantfstandby ^n; the: vicissitudes of their lives as fishermen, loggers arid settlers. Just today, I was called in for the burial of a young man, Allen Jeffries of Egmont. His whole family connection were there and they had come down from Sechelt Inlet in a fleet of fishing craft, and out in the misery of a snowstorm, we buried the young man, in the little cemetery \near Bargain 'Harbour., It was-a pathetic scene, out typical of these eyents. We'gathered around the casket for a few moments in a rough tool shed and to'those huddled together in that rough shed, the burial service had as great meaning and comfort as any similar service in the most . beautiful of churches. Sorrow binds us together all ���'over this troubled world. One of the men asked me afterwards if I would come and baptize his two children at Egmont. After the brief com^ mittal; some of us went to the Warnock's nearby and^ Mrs. Warnock kindly warmed us with a fine cup of tea. SPIRIT OF RELIGION "Almost at once the whole party set out for their far-away . homes in their gas-boats, but , not without ' many a kindly greeting and words of gratitude for my simple but heartfelt service.. Not^ long ago these very people gathered in the Egmont school for a wonderful Christmas party where it was my privilege to bring to their children and to them as -the parents a touch of the beauty and joy that surrounds"' the Christmas festival. We had a hilarious eveniiig ending in a J dance to music that would hardly stand being broadcast, but that evening's, program, in addition to a brief school concert, had been enriched by the telling' of the Good News thrcugh the .medium of sacred art and the interweaving of the gospel narratives. One's, ministry in this part of the world (and that same applies to that of my confreres Rollo Boas and my brother Heber and the Christmases) is such a blending of the social and the evangelistic that the people come to regard religion as something inextricably woven into their daily life. We "get over" to bur flock what in the set order of church life in a city is difficult-���that all life, not just those, moments you spend amid the beauty of a church, is part of the Divine order;v I hope that as the years roll by I may help fishermen or loggers feel that aboard their little craft or out ���;���. oil the slope of a mpuhtain th^y are Sons of God and that in^the ruggedness < of their task* they are partners with the Son of Man, and that He shares' witli ^ them all that falls to them day '��� by day...
