First ineed of the singing group was music. This was acquired by means of a self imposed membership fund and by donations from George Ma-rsden, S.H. Butler and' Albert Edge. ��� The players group is the youngest, part of the whole. It was born by virtue of a need for funds? by the VON. The Hearnden Players will play in three plays, soon to be shown in aid ���of the nursing service, in the School Hall at 8 p.m. February 24.

"We don't want a subsidy." Captain Peabody told \he MLA. "If "a company can't stand on its own feet without a subsidy, there must be something radically wrong with it." Mr Maclntyre forecast the day "in the not too distant future," ' when the next step in the. destiny of the coastal area;,would'vbe-taken. - ; ;- "It won't be long before a ferry is running between Vancouver Island and Powell River."

The government feels it is a federal responsibility and the federal government will not do any changing just for two provinces. (Saskatchewan and B.C. are the only two provinces with their own hospital insurance scheme.) "Someone," continued the MLA, "will have to pioneer this move and it may just as well be me. There eertainlv is a need for help in this instance but I was a lone; voice last legislature 'and I'm sure it will just be a repeat performance." Mr Maclntyre "forecast" that a; boost would, be coming next session for recipients of social service wellfare. "Probably, and this i;is^just plain guessing, about $15 increase per month."

It tastes very much like chicken, but it is even tenderer and 'hiore tasty. Rabbit meat is economical too. It is less expensive than chicken and the percentage of bone is. less. All the meat is white like the breast of chicken but is morV'! tender because there is less connective tissue. Rabbit is a very nutritious meat too. Don't hesitate to serve rabbit in many delicious recipes to your family. It is easy to prepare and your family will certainly enjoy it. Here are a few recipes using this delectible meat that I am sure you will find delicious. FRIED RABBIT Your family will enjoy this as much as fried chicken, Make a batter using the. following for each rabbit: 1 ^gSj V'l cup'flour, % cup milk', and % teaspoon salt. Beat eggs, aidd milk and saljt and stir in flour to form a smooth batter. Wipe rabbit'- with a clean cloth and cut into serving pieces. Dip ea'ch piece into batfer ad be sure that it is all coated. In an iron skillet, heat fat until hot and brown evenly. Then reduce the heat and cook, at lower temperature for 40 to 50 minues, or until tender. Serve on a hot platter and garnish with parsley. - ROAST RABBIT This is really a treat. Use any large rabbit from three months old up. Make a dressing as you would . for chicken or turkey.- Stuff and truss. Place in a baking dish or roasting..pan...Place A to. .5. strips of bacon over back. [Cover and roast slowly for about 2y2 hours. Turn rabbit over during roasting to brown evenly. If rabbit is large, roast for about 3 hours. . RABBIT A LA KING This is a really lovely trea.t. You can make it with leftover roast rabbit (If there is "any left over).

The chief of these rules was that the Province of Quebec should have a fixed number of Members (65) and that the repr resentation of other provinces in the House of Commons. should bear the same proportion to the population of the province as the number 65 bears to the population of the Province of Quebec. In 1946, Seqtion 51 of the British North:; America Act was repleaied and a new Section substituted, as fdllows:- ���"The number of Members of the House of Commons shall be 255 and the representation of the; Provinces therein shall forthwith, upon the; coming* into force of this Section, and thereafter on the conpletioii of each decennial census, be " Teadjusted^.''... according to the following rules - (a) subject as hereinafter provided^ there shall be assigned to each of the provinces the number of Members computed by dividing the total population of each province by the. quotient so obtained.. .. ."

Representation of the Province of Quebec was increased by the 1947 readjustment from 65 to 73 members, that of Ontario from 82 to 83, Nova Scotia from 12 to 13, and British Columbia from 16 to 18. Manitoba ��� and Saskatchewan each lost one seat, the hew representation of the former being 16 and of the latter 20 members. Representation of the remaining three provinces was unchanged, viz,. New Bruns wick, 10: Prince Edward Island 4; and Alberta, 17.. Seven seats were given to Newfoundland on its entry into Confederation at midnight on March 31. 1949, raising the total membership in the House of Commons to 262. Since 1941 there have been some substantial shifts in population as between provinces and further changes are likely to take place in provincial repreentation in the House of Commons in the next redist- ribution of seats following the 1951 Census.

That was in my younger days. Now I,hope...they:do. While strolling-with a friend in Stanley Park, we happened across one of those surprising plots of' roses which one so often 'discovers'' in that, wonderland by the Pacific. Struck by the exquisite beauty of the various blooms, we stoppedl and just gazed, half in wonder--and-half~ih awe at the waving mass. Rather involuntarily and quite aloud, I exclaimed, "isen't thaft' a ,wonderful thing"? An old gentleman who had been standing lost in thought a bare pace from us, and before my friend could answer, turned and said. "Son 'tain,t surprising,'-God, himself made 'em. j?

Thursday February 15 1951 (Continued from page 7) BETWEEN YOU'N ME Mrs Ed Pratt was telling me about the loggers they have up in that country. She was cognizant of the difference that has com/e over they who make their living from the woods now and the same type of man, 20 years ago. I found out they now play badminton, no less. There's nothing wrong with playing badminton. It only sounds incongrous to hear of loggers doing it. Tell Cecil Chamberlain I'm only joking, about the logger. l'met Earl Dawe, "watch the spelling of the last name please," and he tells me he is starting the legal firm of Earl Dawe,. barrister and soliciter. He will work from Wilson Creek and can turn his hand at being machinist as well as throwing Blackthorne around. Tall and slim, Earl is not ou+ to maike his fortune immediately. "I'll be siatfsfied to grow with the country,''" he said seriously. "I think there -'is an opportunity here, and if there is too little in practising law, I'll take what comes along until there ' is enough in the law practise." That is the right spirit and one to be lauded. I hope he makes his fortune someday from his faith in this great country. We need men like that.

"The influence and mechanics of newspapers,' was the subject of a ta|lk given to senior students of the High School by Bill Sutherland, representing The Coast News. ���������=��������� :��� The talk was given in lieu of a normal English. Period, and covered newspapers from their origin in the heiroglyph- ies to'present day, many col-, oured full page spreads. Mr -; Suthferlad contended that "chain" newspapers were unhealthy. He pointed out that one (track influence could be tpo easily brought to bear on large sectionsi t of ��� ^phe, populace. '.'Newspapers' owned by individual, publishers and operated according to each his own best principals was the best means of disseminaftig news without taint or party allegiance" he said. The spbaker outlined the part played by newspapers in construction of present day . texit' books. He outlined the method whereby text books were born from information and news accumulated through the years and disected' by "basically honest'men, charged with compiling an unbiased' digest of the whole story". "As this was done some ten years following the actual events, chance: of personal likes and views were less likely to have influence on the textbook^ structure and story. "Newspaper business is a rough game", the speaker said. Onfty tjwo women, publishers are actually operating papers in B.C.,''There are 52���_ weekly' newspapers in this province." he said. "There being only two ladies actually engaged in the business is a clue to the type, of work". ' Several pupils asked qUesjt'- . ions following the address, one of which dealt! with; the "slanting" of news. GEORGE MURRAY and HERB,MAY ��� ��� ������a i." ��� ���������' ���* ���' ��� ���.

'a4�� Or are you Prevented from Making Needed Improvements by Shortage of Cash? You've probably been giving some thought recently to the spring clean-mp, and ,to the improvements you would like to make in. your home. And then perhaps you've come up against the problem of short- - age of ready money. If-that's the difficulty, you ought to drop into the Bank of ���Montreal ' at Gibsons or Sechelt and have a word with Tom LarsOri, the manager. He invites householders with home improvement' plans to discuss the financing of them - through a^ B of M personal" loan Such ai loan costs only" six'per'cent a year in interest. That comes, for example, to just 27 cents a month on $100, repaid in twelve monthly instalments.- It will save you- time, trouble and expense to pay all your repair bills by cash. Why not call on Mr Larson tomorrow, and discuss your plan for home, improvement with him? \ '��� .-.: '������" '���' ' ".' Advt.. ������". The speaker drew a parallel between ai. well known communist paper and one of the Vancouver papers, suggesting that, ^despite not reading the editorials a person could easily be influenced by the stories and their slanting". "In other words", he said. "If it person Were to read nothing but ai communist ot* far left paper, he would, despite, his ignoring the editorials, have a leaning toward tlie far left. . ;; "The same would apply to reading conservative 'papers; As long as papers are written by human beings with the frailties of humans, then influences will creep into the best written story'.'.
