Harry Roach leaned over the rail and watched the ever widening black strip between the Davis \ Bay wharf and the still lighted Cardena. "Let go the head, please." Back it came, "Let go the head," and then, 'Thanks a lot gentlemen. A pleasant good jinight to you all." A voice from the 'dark wharf answered. "You're welcome, Har��- .,ry.

Ltd. Signed by A. J. Taylor, customer's services manager, the letter informed residents of the two islands, that owing to the high cost of power cable from Bowen Island and the nearing development of Clowholm Falls, it would be poor business to push through the long awaited power. Residents feel little disappointment as they had expected something in this vein following release of Power Commission plans for development on the peninsula. . Your Fire Donations Are Welcome Things GIBSONS ��� Many well meaning and certainly generous citizens are having difficulty in giving away their money. r .Questions quite often heard on the main streets deal with where TsbtitildXoih^ the fire brigade. According to Firechief Wilf Gray that is easily answered. Anyone wishing to donate money or anything to the voluntary fire brigade should do so through secretary Jim Drummond, Jr, at the Howe Sound Trading Company store. ��� Mr Drummond points out there are quite a number of citizens only too willing to help provided they knew what and where. Such a spirit is one of which to be proud. Only by helping the firemen now can they possibly help you when you need it most. Halfmoon's Final "Do" HALFMOON BAY ��� Final meeting of the Hall Committee was held Wednesday in the Marian Hall, when it was decided to disband the committee in charge for the summer months. Among those attending and congratulated by Father E. O'Dwyer on "doing such a splendid job," were Chairman W. Kolterman, secretary Mrs G. Schneider, Mrs J. Burrows and Mrs Merrill Muse. Among those attending were Miss Lilian Bick- ley, Mrs A. Ness and Mrs Kenny Anderson. Father O'Dwyer will now be in complete control of the building owing to the committee having broken up until the fall. It is pointed out anyone wishing to use the hall during the summer months may contact Mrs W. Kolterman or phone Father O'Dwyer at Gibsons 92W. It was decided to hold a Hard Times Dance on April 22 as a grand finale to Ojsstktbf^m^gm SECHELT By "ARIES" MONDAY, MARCH TWENTY SEVENTH, NINETEEN FIFTY .rarity NOW THAT the by-law *is eventually on its way and both sides are drawn up for the battle of clarification it is fitting to turn and look at some of the little things which go so far in making this a better Peninsula. Provided the by-law passes, one of the big questions will be, who gets the contracts for building schools. The Coast News takes the stand, along with local contractors, that provided MOST other things are equal, the local man, the man making his living here, should be given any edge that seems to be going. It seemingly has been the habit to grant building contracts holus bolus to someone who can handle the complete job���in this case it would be for schools amounting to approximately $500,- 000. That would mean $50,000 of a guarantee. Only a syndicate or large company could handle that type of money. Therefore the local man would have to sit back and watch local money go down the drain as far as he is concerned. Gibsons Junior-Senior high school could conceivably be out of reach of Peninsula contractors by virtue of several things, principally the ruling that ten percent of the contract value must be on the line before the job is started. This is a good precaution but it hardly constitutes a big barrier. There are contractors ready and willing to put up the required sum of money as a guarantee. These same men are quite capable of building, to specifications, any building required by our school board. That is, excepting the high school, and that could just be within the bounds of possibility. We would suggest that when and if contracts are being granted, following the opening of sealed tenders on a competitive basis, the local man be given any edge that could possibly be given him consistent with reasonable economy ��� and when we are going to spend half a million dollars leave us not stand behind a glorious armor of righteousness and save a thousand dollars at the cost of depriving the Peninsula of a contract or contracts which would go some considerable distance toward brightening the economic outlook of our own people. We would suggest to the board that it cast aside any feeling of abiding by the letter when that even is not necessary. All tenders are preferred with the understanding that the lowest or any may not be accepted. Such being the case we think it would be a nice gesture plus just ordinary common sense to see that any contracts granted are given to local men. They have the ability and the Peninsula needs the job. Mr Burns also follows the usual Red tactics of' sneering at the value of religion and attending church, at patriotism and the virtue of thrift in toying to avoid large debts. He also takes the opportunity of decrying all those who do not agree with the policy adopted by the school board. Mr Burns does no service to the Finnish people who must have included many God fearing, decent people who loved going to church. He is following the usual Red tactics of everything wrong but the reds. I think when the vote comes on the school bylaw that the Anglo Saxon element will greatly resent the tactics he has adopted. Edward A. Bourne, Gambier Harbour. SIR: In the interests of placing the REAL TRUTH of the forthcoming school by-law before the general public I challenge Mrs L. S. Jackson as Chairman of 'the Sechelt School Board to a public debate on this matter. Possibly Mr Ritchie would assist Mrs Jackson and I am quite sure that Mr Aggett would be glad to take part with me. I fully agree with Mr Aggett's recent excellent letter in your paper. Everybody will, I know, agree this is the best way to arrive at the truth, that is, the real truth of this contentious matter, and will judge accordingly if Mrs Jackson does not see fit to accept. I am quite sure that one of the excellent service organizations in Gibsons, who have no interest except the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, would be glad to sponsor this debate in the public interest. Sincerely, Francis Drage, JP. SIR: The proposed school by-law is certainly THE red-hot issue before residents of this area and as others have done, I wish to sav a few words: In the first place the publicity on the matter to date has been to say the least, disquieting. There has been an undue emphasis on the personalities involved. Much news space has been allotted to the personal opinions of individuals who from the beginning have been hostile to the by-law. The personal remarks have often been irresponsible and bitter. The point here is that we are getting not necessarily the facts, but the ideas and opinions of one or two people ��� mostly Mr Drage ��� who is happens, is more accustomed, and more persistent than average in giving expression to his ideas. However he has only one vote and everv other individual believes his opinion to be as good or better. I suggest that what we need is more information ��� less propaganda. The issues are too big for personalities. Each mresident has a responsibility to get all the information he can and make up his own mind on the issues so that he knows what he is voting for and will have no later regrets. Some of the points which we must consider are: Will we be satisfied to patch up the present schools and continue to have the children attend these dilapidated, ill lighted, ill ventilated, crowded structures even though repaired or enlarged? How much will it cost an average taxpayer? What will be the rise in mill rate? A point to consider is that school instruction, especially in high schools now consists of much more than the book learning. We must also remember that for most pupils the high school is the last year before they start earning a living for themselves. Only the minority get to University or to professional or vocational schools. With this in mind there is every reason to give our pupils as broad a high school (training as possible. Such items as school dramatics, debating, music, home economics, manual training and athletics are of far more practical use than ancient history, etc., and more applicable to future life. Anyone acquainted with our high school should appreciate how much the teachers are do- ��� ing and how much the children benefit from these non-scholastic activities. This type of instruction cannot be maintained or developed without adequate buildings and other facilities. To sum up I believe the residents here should be given as full a description as possible of the program in the proposed by-law. Information is needed regarding the type of school and how much money is to be spent in each area. Many people still say they do not fully understand the issues involved.* We have had plenty of opinions and free advice. How about more facts so we can intelligently vote. Yours for better schools, H. F. Inglis, MD. SIR: Herewith, as promised, a few notes on our recent inspection trip. The whole setup looks a little peculiar to say the least. It would seem that most of the schools have been sadly neglected with regard to upkeep, repairs and renovations, possibly with the idea that the situation would warrant the huge money by-law. I feel certain that a few thousand dollars spent on plywood, plus carpenters and decorators would make a whole lot of difference in quite a number of places we saw. We should willingly' approve of extensions that are necessary, also air circulating systems and good indirect lighting in all class rooms. A disinterested consulting architect should be engaged to supervise all necessary improvements, with the idea of efficiency plus rigid economy as the order of the day. All larger jobs should be contracted on a competetive basis. The trustees intimate they want to build for the future. But all I can say is, "if the by-law goes through, many of our taxpayers will have no future."' And finally, if we have to pay the fiddler, we should have some right to call the tune. B. H.

Discussion was held on the proposed water rates increase for the Union Estates. | We, the native people, do not blame the householders for their actions as we find the scheduled rates very high. During this meeting pur Indian Reserve was [mentioned several times. May I .ktate here as to why we have ^free water supplied by our dear ^neighbors the Union Company. [ In about the year 1889 our forefathers claimed the first water rights on Chapman Creek. By flaying out a flume, they downed bedar poles and dug out from 'fend to end. The poles were joint- fed end to end along which the 'water flowed freely. At the end pi the flume was a buried tank jnade out of planks and the reserve used this water system for more than ten years. 3 The Union Company's water pipe runs just in about the same place as did the old flume and LAURIE IRVING The emcee of TREASURE TRAIL who dispenses with those silver dollars on this popular program every Wednesday night it 8:30. Laurie will be looking for you on TREASURE TRAIL every Wednesday ^evening on . ��� ������ Bottled a- Shipped by ALFRED -LAMB&S0NU5 LONDON,ENGLAND their intake is in about the same place as our old one. But our forefathers were not quite satisfied with the original flume as landslides would often wash it away. It wasn't until the year 1899 they decided to lay out a 4-inch wooden pipe line from the flowing spring water which enters into Porpoise Bay now. About three miles of wooden pipe was laid and the water emptied into a 30,000 gallon tank erected on top of the hill behind the present Indian reserve. The late Peter Burns, Indian agent at that time, surveyed the line and claimed the land as part of the reserve. In the year 1929 the Union Estates approached us for a right of way through our Indian land which we granted them. Our agreement was that we give them permission through our reserve that p in return Union supply us with water free of charge. But it was not until 1935 that we took advantage of this agreement. We then laid out our own connections from each house to the Union mainline. Now to come back to this water board meeting. Some $889 was quoted by the Union people as an unclaimed revenue to them. That's lots of cash they are itching to get from us. Sure thing, they are trying to cancel our agreement with them but may I state here that the Indian today is not as easily bought for a bottle of the white man's firewater (same as the Hudsons Bay days). If we are compelled to buy our water from this company we will repair our old system^ for very little, then run our own setup and probably supply white friends as well. The Union says something about running their pipe on the highway but the tank is still on Indian land. We would sure enough collect rent from the company thereby reversing the tables. After pointing out these few facts to Union officials they decided to slow down. We were here first and we know something about our rights. Take care white man. This is a different. Indian now. You play fair and so will we. You 'try and be smart and . . .

They tell me Huck Marshall won the radio at the Firemen's dance, and our Gambier Island friends won the steam iron. It was a success financially and socially, and to the many who journeyed from as far west as Pender, the firemen say a Great Big "Thanks to everyone". There is news that the Hillside road will, soon be humming with activity, it is rumored the road will be started very soon, and finished to Hillside. At least this will be something. Don Dupray and family from Princeton will be taking over the Gibsons second hand store and Rose Jar this week. St Patrick's tea held at the home of Mrs E. Nestman, on the 17th, turned out to be a very successful afternoon. The sun shone for us, and really made things perfect.

WILSON CREEK MBMmitimtvsnjmsabvakmmaaaas Readers Sav THE COAST NEWS, Monday- March 27, 1950 F J. a ��� a . . . By H. L. W. THE NOTORIOUS "flying saucers" have made their apear- ance again, this time over the southern states and Mexico. One hovered recently over South Carolina and one over a town in California and Mexico has had such a deluge of them that a reputable Mexican government newspaper has quoted "a famous astronomer" as saying that the saucers are aircraft carrying visitors from Mars. Even B.C. has had its reports. There is, no doubt, a substantial quantity of rot talked about these things. Interplanetary travel has become a remote scientific possibility and the minds of fanciful people are wont to run along those lines. Some of the witnesses are doubtless self-deluded and some are downright liars. But it would be a gross mistake to give the horse laugh to those who hold that these objects carry explorers from another planet. It would be a mistake because their idea might be true. OUTER SPACE One scientific writer recently explored the theory that the saucers came from a world, not in our solar system, but in outer space. That notion fails to impress me because of the time element involved. It could take a thousand years or even much more to come from outer space. And it is hardly likely that a fellow would embark with his family on a journey that only his great-great- great-great-grandson could finish. But how do we know that the people of outer space, if any, operate on the same time basis as ourselves? We know that time is only a metaphysical expedient, an adaption of eternity to the limits of human conception. > Perhaps these fellows who ride in saucers have stepped outside the limitations of time as we know it. Anyway, there it is. Don't be surprised if you wake up some spring morning and find some square from Venus sitting on your porch steps. I have long since ceased being surprised at anything. I suppose there are two per iods in a man's life when he is most credulous. The first is when he is very young and so fresh from heaven that he can still see fairies, which are a kind of angel, and gnomes, which are a kind of demon, and all those other celestial objects that are not discernible by eyes which are blinded by too much looking at things of the flesh. The second credulous period comes when a man begins to get old and has been amazed so often that his capacity for amazement is worn out. Thus I am quite prepared to believe that within my lifetime the earth may have visitors from other and older planets. I don't mean that the gift of prophecy has fallen upon me in the chimney corner. But I have seen so many wonderful things, as millions of others have done, that the wonderful has become rather commonplace. AGE OF WONDERS Since I was born, the telephone has been brought to perfection, radio was invented, talking pictures have been thrust upon us, men have learned to fly much better than birds, automobiles have replaced the horse, electricity has been tamed to do the housework and man, with a supreme intellectual effort, has discovered how to threaten his own existence with the release of nuclear energy. In the face of all this it is not difficult to believe that some of the planets have intelligent inhabitants and that the millions I NOTICE All persons holding un-Crown-granted mineral claims and placer mining leases should renew their free miners' certificates before May 31st.

In printing, for instance, even though you might shave prices five or ten percent by shopping all over the city, you might find that your economy was a bit costly. Your newspaper is a service to your community. To perform that function properly, it must be a profitable enterprise. To be profitable, it needs wholehearted co-operation of every buyer of advertising AND PRINTING in the area it serves.

The voice of the press gets around, and with it our advertisements. Proof of this was brought home to me the other day when I received a job order by mail from Regina. If someone had told me there would come a day when I could promote a job in the far off prairies without even half trying I would have thought they were crazy.. But such is the case. This gentleman said he had been reading these advertisements and had liked the way they are written. That had sold him on giving me the work he wants to have done on his house here. He will get it done too. A number of things go toward selling a man's time and experience���advertising is one and word of mouth is another but the best one is the work that LAURIE SPECK has already done. When I do a job I usually achieve two things. One is a sense of pleasure in having finished another worthwhile job and the other is that I've sent another salesman on its way toward selling more sheet metal work for After all, that is the finest advertising I can do. It brings results too, just like the ad from Regina. Both do a good job but even they fail to do as good a job as I can do if you phone 64-R.

Even the trees on their tops were outlined so clear that if they had been depicted so by some Michealangelo it would have been marked as unnatural. As we stood on the bow and looked ahead into the distance, the full surge of the unknown and its urge to seek seemed to sweep over us. For a moment we knew how Captain Vancouver felt. How Columbus must have set his teeth and driven ahead, ever forward into that mystery of the sea; into that pulsing magnet of the future which lay just beyond the reflected light from the heavens. Two hundred years were cast aside with the careless shrug of the buccaneer. There was no law, no more. We were the law to ourselves. Restrictions were not, for here we stood on the foremost part of the world. We could feel the driving power behind us, there was safety and danger both in that knowledge. Safety in knowing we would keep afloat, danger in the immovable destiny into which we drove. For the slightest moment we looked up to see if the black flag still swept back from the foremast. It seemed she was furled for a moment but a lusty gust of wind straightened her out to where the whole world could see her grinning bones. We set our legs wider apart and waited for the future. A feeling of recklessness took control and we grinned as the big brass rings swung from our ears, and gently rubbed against our bearded cheeks. The world was well lost. The future beckoned and we were willing.

C. The rapid growth of British Columbia's communities has made flexible planning essential in the field of modern construction. Too often have rigid building schemes resulted in impractical permanency, causing many a structure to be outmoded before outworn. It is in the interest of sound development that the right construction material be used for the right job. And wherever necessary, adaptable planning governed by the impending demands of the future can often best be realized with wood. The advantages of B.C. Coast Woods as a means for speedy, economical erection are time-proven. And the dependability of modern wooden structures, combined with low replacement and alteration costs and high salvage value, commends the intelligent use of this readily available material for many heavy construction purposes. *.�� The swift and sure economic growth of British Columbia is 1 a r g e ly founded in the forest industry, which produces more annual wealth than all the other basic industries of the Province combined. To further the use of B.C. Coast Woods for public works projects in community centres is to ensure increasing levels of prosperity. It is good business for Provincial, Municipal and Civic governments to give preference to B.C. Coast Woods when planning for the future. B.C.
