He will have to work at it���for the calls come in all ways, by name, number or description. In fact the operators are liable to be asked to find a logger who came up on the boat a week ago, and, in most cases they do find the man!

United PTA met on Friday the 15 in the Legion Hall where plans were formulated for .a very busy fall and winter season. One of the projects 'to be undertaken is the forming of Pro-Rec, and Mr. William Morrison will contact the various bodies-concerned.and. will generally attend to the business end of arrangements. It was also decided to present Selma Park community centre with the PTA library. It was originally a community centre project and when the Sechelt Centre group disbanded it was given to PTA. It will now however, reach the adult reading, public which was. after all the prime factor in these books coming here. It was originally/a gift of Mrs'. Bernulf Clegg. We hope that the .new library will be very popular as it will be easier to get at and in the summer will be a boon to the summer visitors. Other affairs were discussed including Hallowe'en which will be in the hands of principal John Ellis and school staff. The evening was made most enjoyable by a visit of Mr. Harry V. Corbett the National Film Board representative introduced by Mrs. Francis French. Mr. .Corbett outlined briefly the method and reason for National Films in outlying districts and that their increasing popularity has given the field workers a very busy* program to fill and that those communities that did not sign their contracts were deleted from the film circuit. It was explained that the money paid by the PTA went to the Receiver General and not to the . Film Board as is sometimes erroneously stated. The film board is a government.service and films are free. The collection which is made after the showing is added to the PTA treasury. The pictures were most enjoyable especially, the one on "Canada��� the Land of Plenty" which showed well fed people in restaur- '( ants and night clubs as against the starving people of Europe which makes one think where all this selfishness is. to lead us?v When we have so much and others so little. It should be shown to everyone in the country especially those addicted to griping about the food and the prices. Lucky we are to eat at all. And the picture of Canada's speckled trout showing the wonder spots oh the lakes with Bill MacDonald having a whale of a time reeling them in. Bill is the brother-in-law of Dorothy Morrison (Mrs. W. Morrison) of Rockwood Lodge and it was especially interesting to us who know Bill to see him in action. This was in Technicolor and very beautiful. We hope to have more of these evenings at PTA and now7 we have Mr. Bob Cook as program convenor. I'm sure we are in for wonderful times this winter, es- peciallv music and entertainment. It is getting a bit difficult to fit everything in however.' Too bad we have so many organizations with, the same object in .view. .'. We understand that Mr. and Mrs. Charlie_ Jordan of Porpoise Bay have recently celebrated the 63rd anniversary of their wedding. Auntie and Charlie Jordan are well known to us all and well respected and loved by their friends. Charlie is as active as ever and makes wonderful cedar chests and his wood work is well known for miles around as also is Auntie for her wonderful crochet work. She is not feeling so well lately but we do hope they will be together for many years to come. Mr. and Mrs. Owre of Porpoise Bay have resumed their work of collecting ferns, this is really something to see. The ferns have to be uniform size, stems cut iequal lengths when they are packed in special' crates and shipped to Vancouver where they are used by florists * for various decorations. Very interesting work and one that takes some patience as the names of various ferns must be known. Our ferns are very beautiful and we are sure great pleasure is derived by the Owre's in walking the lovely trails these beautiful autumn days. '.'��� - �� Babs Griffiths, (nee Babs Newconibe) has been visiting her parents, Mr. and-Mrs. T. New- combe with her two children Merlyn and Wayne, also a friend Betty Cusik. They are once more getting established after the floods and have now returned to Abbotsford. A court of honor meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Francis French recently for Patrol leaders and seconders of the local Girl Guides. Those present were Helen Derby, Lorna Van Kleet, Winona Pratt, Karen Stockwell, Barbara Morrison, and Mary Parker. Lt. Katherine Nelson and Guide Captain Norma Melvin served the refreshments.

Sorry there was no news column in last week. . but was in Vancouver for Thanksgiving. Coming home Sunday, and on Tuesday I had to go to Vancouver again, so my apologies. Its Oct. 19 and what glorious weather we're having, and oh those glorious moonlight nights. The Club had a dance here on Thanksgiving Saturday. A good time was had by all. Shan Nichols and his orchestra were here. They're always a treat. Another of oiir former boys who has been caught by Cupid, our Tommy Rowbottonv was married Oct. 9 to Miss Evelyn Pierce of Copper Mountain. Tommy was one of our baseball heroes and we wish them both the best of luck and happiness. Would like to send birthday greetings to our George Taylor, whose birthday is today. When in Vancouver last week I was in to- the hospital twice to see him and he is looking very. well. So hello George from all of us. I hear two familiar faces are up today for two days with us. Mr. and Mrs. P. Browning. Tliey are both looking well and enjoying the grand holiday they are having. So hello to you both from the gang of Brittania. The Beach Ladies' Auxiliary are having a bridge, whist and cribbage on Saturday, so T hope to see a big turnout. Wednesday at Townsite there is a super-duper Bingo put on by the Canadian Legion. You can bet I'll be there and hope a gang goes up. Mr. and Mrs. J. Edwards arrived home after spending a week in Vancouver. Well folks7 its 1.45 a.m. so its bed for me.

Such thoughts came to me when considering the- innumerable advantages we of this generation enjoy, such as our modern means of travel. That seems to me to be another blessing to be thankful for. The writer of these lines expresses this thought very well. "THE PIONEERS" By E. D. LAUGHLIN O'er every modern luxury there lies The shade of ancient hardships. He who flies Across a continent on wings of gauze Threads the thin paths of meteors because His father's, wingless, earth- bound, as they groped Through marshland jungle, upward gazed and hoped. The cars that roll so ceaselessly today, On -^velvet wheels along the concrete way, Would find no highways span- '- ning hill and vale, Had not the drudging oxcarts blazed the trail. Though poverty awaited where the vast* Stark Prairie arid horizon met at last. Yet was their goal���how priceless still it seems, Unhampered freedom and un- trammeled dreams, Hovels are mansions, homesteads, broad estates, And settlements are. cities now. The-Fates Caught up chemeric hopes,, abandoned schemes, And made a world more won- derous than their dreams..-. The pioneers who broke the virgin soil Ne'er garnered half the harvest of their toil To them the . wearing days behind the/plow, To them., the aching limb, the sweating, brow, To them the-weary seedtime, others reap. Today where'er they sowed. To them is���sleep, "Oh aviator," conquering realms of blue, A haunting specter, flies, along with you, And vague-seen covered wagons bear strange loads Of ghostly pilgrims down the long paved roads. During the holiday weekend the owners of summer cottages were here to spend their last vacation of the season. Among visitors we noticed Mr. and Mrs. Marion and their two daughters.

Briefly, the answer is: A CREDIT UNION is an association of persons united by some common b6nd or community of interest, joined together in a co-operative endeavour for the following purposes: 1. To encourage thrift by providing a safe, convenient and attractive medium for the investment of the savings of ots mem- . . XX bers. - ��� 2. To promote industry, eliminate usury, and increase the purchasing power of its members by enabling them to borrow for productive or other beneficial purposes at a reasonable cost. 3. To train, its? members in business methods and self-government, and i bring them to a realization of the value of cooperation; 1848 ONE liUNDRED YEARS 1948 of achievement hove developed an idea into a world-wide institution to help you .

It is very beautiful branching out as it does in two huge trees both from the same root. The fire was well away when first noticed and Mr. Ay- lett came over from his office ahd after quite an effort extinguished the blaze. If our young men need something to do to use up all that surplus energy there are quite a number of elderly people here who have pioneered this country to make it nice for them to live in. The same old people might like the grass cut or the wood chopped once in a while. So. don't get disheartened, there is lots to do of a constructive nature. Remember it takes years for a tree like the Maple referred to, to grow. Loyalty, Loyalty, wherefor art thou? Speaking of the old and the new, we have recently been iri a little wordy . battle over the old and the new. This little paper was here first, and we who undertook to gather the news such as it is, knew full well that it would be for free as the kids say, now however, we are coming along very nicely and the pay cheque though perhaps not much is always there and I for one am quite satisfied to do what I'm doing and for whom. However, we would like the people who used to be willing to give us the news items to go on doing so. It gets under the collar so to speak when we find that this little sheet has been ignored when our services were eagerly o sought in the beginning. And remember, we were first with the News. Had such a pleasant surprise. Met an old friend from Ladner who is now a resident of Sechelt. We certainly will have a time going over old times when we get together which will be soon I hope. Mr. and Mrs. Deane have recently taken over the caretaker's duties at Opengo Lodge, the summer residence of Mr. and Mrs. Bryce Fleck and the Fleck's are mighty lucky in having such splendid people. They were with the Rogers' family for many years, most of them spent at Cowan's Point. Welcome to Sechelt.

"I Friday, Oct. 22, 1948 THE COAST NEWS, SECHELT, B. C. Page Nine By E. NESTMAN COUNCIL Notes. Progress in setting new trucking rates for the village is still at a standstill. New information received from H. Gargrave, M.L.A. for this riding, intimates that other places are having somewhat the same trouble in this matter. Westview ahd Port Alberni have a problem on somewhat the same lines, and are trying to get a new ruling on jurisdiction over Government wharves. Un,til this position is clarified, there is very little the council can do, so it.will be left in abeyance, until more information to hand. ' ^ E. Korhonne of Keats, has purchased the municipal float for $20, and it will be moved as soon as the* other float is moved into position. The number of boats on the float at this time h_is become quite a hazard to anyone using the place for landing, especially at night, and the council feels that all- boats should be moved off the wharf/ and the place kept clear, during, dark winter nights. School Board Notes: A new office for the school board will be opened this week in the village. It will be open Monday to Thursday. 9 to 11, and 1 tp 4, tclosed Friday, and opened Saturday morning. By-laws are being drafted to be presented to public for the building of 3 schools, and additions to another. A 4 room Superior school for Madeira -Park, a 3 room school for Roberts Creek, a Junior-Senior high school for Gibsons, and addition of 2 rooms to' Sechelt school. Annual general meetings will be held in district from now to Nov. 15* dates to be announced later. Meetings are for reports of year, and election of representatives to Board. Teachers here have as&ed for a revision in their salary schedule. W.A. Legion Notes: A meeting was held in new Legion hall this week, .by the Auxiliary although the hall is far from being finished. Four new members were initiated at the meeting, and after lengthy discussion $75 was voted to themen to purchase a stove for the new kitchen. To replenish our treasury, a bingo and social evening will be held at Mrs. Wardils.' Tea Rooms. Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. Everyone is welcome. On Nov. 5, Mrs. Gardner will hold a bingo and social at her home. Everyone welcome. Mrs. Bartle has arranged with the women to have poppies distributed io the district, so if the ladies should miss you, be sure should have a popy, for Remembrance Day, "Lest we forget." W.I. Notes: The whist drive held at the home of Mrs. H. Metcalf, was greatly enjoyed by all. First prize was won by* Mrs. Corlett, second by Mrs. Pilling, and consolation by. Mrs. Dickson. The proceeds, in aid of the Building Fund, were most gratifying, and all expressed the hope that a series of these afternoon whist drives,- and get togethers, will be held frequently during the winter months. Govt. Road Work: A change in personnel on Govt, road work has been made. Mr. Cartwright, new road superintendent, replaces G. N. Stowe, who'is going into the head office in New Westminster, replacing Mr. Jones. Personals: Art Pilling, Ed Turner, and Bill Farham are off for a ten-day hunting trip to the Cariboo. Clay Chamberlain is holding down the fort, I mean road, until they return. Notice Mrs.'�� King, up and around again, very good to see, as she has had quite a long seige at home. . Take a look at Alberta's left hand folks, when you drop into the cafe. Not till next year though. Lucky man is Mr. Stager, from the interior,, Oliver I think. Congratulations chum. Mr. Brown from Dawson Creek is our new bank teller. No doubt Gibsons will be quite a change to him.. We say welcome and hope he likes our village. Hear Joe and Mrs. Fitchett are back in our midst after' a year in Merry Old England. When he gets settled down I hope to have a few interesting remarks to give you. Welcome home Joe, we've missed you both. Leo Nestman was home for a couple of days, from Namu. Off again though to Imperial. Herby Winn was down for weekend. Daisy and Frank were also up for dance. Frank looking very well, sea life must be agreeing with him. Couple of weeks ago, our correspondent from Wilson Creek, made a few comments re the Ambulance service. Querying our nurse here,, shd advised us she was not the nurse in question who complained about inconvenience of this vehicle. Now maybe our Wilson Creek reporter does not realize that (one) it is quite a problem getting that vehicle in the first place, and secondly, it would take quite a deal of financing to have both a hearse, and an ambulance in this district, and that our ambulance man is doing yeoman-service as it is. He is out at any hour of the day or night; and I'm certainly sure, that anyone who is ill enough to need the ambulance, cares little or none, what the carriage is as long as they reach,their destination. I'm sure the criticism Was not* seriously meant, and I know when everything /is taken into consideration, then they will see all this differently. There are many things we need in this area, goodness knows, let's be a booster, not a knocker. Heard also that we will be losing one of our doctors, and maybe two, unless we can get a hospital here. This is something that is a dire necessity, and a project that we should plug for one and all. Jack Inglis, 'will be moving his family to Horseshoe bay in a very short time. Jack has purchased a home at the Bay, moving over there lock, stock and barrel. Sure sorry to see Jack go, and will certainly miss them. Harry Winn looks quite at home pushing his grandson around in that buggy, almost like old times, eh Harry? Well by the look of the ring around the moon tonight, looks like our beautiful Indian Summer weather is due for a break. It's been really grand, and sure hate to see it go, those sharp crispy mornings, and beautiful moonlight nights. Makes one glad to be alive^ Leaves are turning such beautiful colors, and the evenings before the sun goes down, did you ever see such beautiful colors over the mountains with the sun shining over them, real life paintings. We have much to be thankful for. When you look out, look up, it's really worthwhile, after all. All countries are beneficiaries of the Rockefeller Foundation.
