Bridge and Dredge Company'who had been hired as a road maintenance man in the pulp x and paper town. The jury found that no blame was to be attached to anyone. According to evidence given at the inquest: presided by Coroner Dr D. T. R. McColl, the deceased was first seen as he was thrown from beneath the wheels of the lift truck. The vehicle,, stid Supervisor Andrew Brown,? could hardly have been travelling vmore than three or four miles per hour. Neither the driver of the fatal vehicle or Richard Mal- ley, lift truck operator, driving a vehicle immediately behind Mallinis's vehicle saw the man prior to his being struck.

"We could find water within a few yards of the school," he said. Children are now forced to drink water from a nearby stream "that is used as a bathing beach by dogs and other animals." Ratepayers on the Island, perturbed at the length of time it has taken to install a landing float" at the school, "will write to James Sinclair to see if things can't be speeded up."

'Commissioners are going ahead with the idea of wood pipe "unless we can buy and install cast iron pipe at the same price." The village does not intend to compare results. It does not ���intend to base its plans on anything other than wood pipe costs. :If cast iron costs a few dollars more, despite the fact it is practically guaranteed for 100 years and wood pipe for 15 or 20 -years, then it will be wood pipe. Village Commissioners are v adamant that their present .-findings are correct and have decided this is the rule they will .abide by. The Coast News, faced with a serious doubt and cognizant >of the needs of this village, interviewed one of the best authorities in the business. A qualified civil engineer having more than 40 years experience with some of the largest water installation plans in the ���west and with' record of advice to municipalities on this very same subject, this-man scorned "the very suggestion there'was any comparison between the two TAKING- INTO CONSIDERATION GIBSONS FINANCIAL STANDING AND PECULIAR .POSITION. v G. S. Conway, a civil engineer of some repute (British rPacific Properties), suggested cast, iron pipe to the commis- :-sioners. ��� Mr. Conway had made the survey here and was well aware ���of every facet of our situation. In his written advice to the village, Mr. Conway urged cast iron pipe for the mains. The Commissioners claim they talked it over-'with Mr. Con- >vay and he agreed on wood. VHis written findings do not bear this out. "Commissioners claim they will switch to cast iron provided fhey can buy it for a price within the bylaw, after the bylaw passes. That is not good enough. This village, faced with many years growth and a bill for $74,000 should not have to guess at -what the commissioners are going to do. * This paper urged, in a past issue, passing of the bylaw ���provided the village had nothing to do with spending the money. ?We urp;e caution in this now. Tt appears too much will be left' ^to chance. Too much will be left to the whim and fancy of this ^CQmni.i^iotL. : "We need the water system renovated, that is true.

But we do not need 7;k done at the cost of $74,000 for fifteen or twenty years when we can get it done for'the same money or. av Mr. Conway told them, "within $7,000 of the cost of wood pipe," for 100 years. When faced with this question of why this wood versus iron was not brought up months ago, thereby saying the work done on two readings of the present bylaw, we would point out "rfha't ���tlie only time any of the public, including the press, were allowed to find out what the engineer had advised was on October 16 (Tuesday). . .

Sir: I see by the October 11th issue of the Coast News that you are again at war with the Village Commission, this time in connecion with enforcement of traffic regulations etc. - Perhaps if you were a little more courteous and tolerant, and less abusive in your comments upon Village Commission activities, people would pay more attention to; what. you have to say in those matters. ' 4 Traffic comes under the jurisdiction of the Roads Commissioner. The present Village Bylaw was written in the year 1949, and not by the present Commission. Any minor changes in the matter of regulation, including erection of signs, have been'made with the cooperation of the police authorities who are called upon to enforce the law. On September 25th a Board of Trade deputation urged some change in parking regulations and a curb upon undue speeding On the arterial highway���Sechelt Rd. We told the' deputation that any change in parking .regulations would be included in a new traffic. bylaw to be written in the near future to cover ferry traffic etc., and also passed a resolution, in good faith, asking police to enforce Provincial and Village regulations, which of course, included more, strict supervision of speeding on Sechelt Road. We were fair enough to admit that we were short of police staff in Gibsons, but this is a matter for Provincial authorities to deal with. As at September 25th, I know of no official communication being placed before the .Commission, this year, in regards to difficulty in, enforcing the law in Gibsons in so far as regulations may be concerned. ��� It is true, that in the Provincial sphere, some trouble has arisen in connection 'with consolidation of traffic regulations, and this matter will be' discussed with the RCMP and the Dept. of Public Works when, a bvla.w is written to take care of new traffic development in Gibsons Village. The offer of the local Constable was not spurned, as you term it, but in view of the recent proposal of the police authorities '' t h a t Gibsons write its own bylaw covering ail roads in thi?-Village,J' the local Constable willj be " called into conference when it is finally decided wliat' route the ferry traffic will take in passing through ^Gibsons. ifobert Maenicol.

FEDERATION OF TRADE & INDUSTRY I ��� I ��� \ 1 k 1 I ��� The Coast News Thursday October 25 1951 OTTAWA, Oct. 19 ��� Canada will be snared in a maze of rationing, red-tape regimentation and ruinous subsidy payments if price controls are .adopted now. Moreover, even this will fail to defeat inflation. That was the argument to Parliament. Thursday of James Sinclair (Coast Capilano), Parliamentary assistant to Finance Minister Douglas Abbott. A thunderous ovation from all sides of the Commons chamber climaxed Mr. Sinclair's speech, unusual in the humdrum debates this session. The ovation lasted more than two minutes. There was little doubt that the speech , advanced Mr. Sin- . clair another rung up the ladder in his climb toward a cabinet post. Inflation World-Wide It is likely that Mr. Abbott will not enter the Throne- Speech debate, which has centred largely around the high cost of living theme, and that Mr. Sinclair's speech is the government's answer to critics of government policy on inflaton. Mr. Sinclair quoted extensively from his observations this summer at the United Nations Economic Council meeting in Geneva and his studies in London of Labor m policy in administering price controls, rationing and subsidies? All 55 nations represented at' Geneva were experiencing, inflation he said. No country could conquer inflation, by itself, but "all countries can d�� so if they make a determined effort." "No country in the Avorld- today has a better record for fighting inflation at home than has Canada," he said. There is no shortage of consumer goods in Canada today, he said. But government statistics showed that since 1939 the money supply has increased tAvo and a half times, Avhile actual production has increased only twice. Therefore, "Ave have an excess of purchasing power in Canada." The $1,700,000,000 being spent on defense is not the only big spur to Canada's ��� inflation, he said. Kitimat Forces Up Prices iiixemng even more pressure to sliove up prices and Avages is a "lantastic flood of capital investment into Canada," reaching probably $4,500,000,- 000 this year. He cited how > the Kitimat development, of the Aluminum Company of Canada is driving up prices of . material and AA>ages in British Columbia. ' To beat inflation "every economist of repute in the western world" is urging that excess purchasing poAver be cut down. Thte meant heavy income taxes, and paradoxically,-commodity taxes also in times of rising prices. The latter would discourage spending and encouraging saving. Also necessary are credit curbs, to prevent- spending in n large -and unnecessary amounts by individuals and business. Finally. government also must cut doAA7n on spending. NO.'feASY SOLUTION' "P-' thet'e wevp airy easy .e^irtfinu of inflation, ore of the 55 governments assembled v(a't Geneva) would have found it >> He continued. "In every country every Chancellor of the Exchequer, every minister of finance, Avbether he be a Liberal or Conservative or a Socialist ��� or even a Communist ��� is mailing the same appeal to his j>eople. "He is making the appeal to spend less, to save more and" to produce more, and this, of course, does get back to the very root of the problem. . "As for pri'ce control, the government would adopt it and subsidies if it were thought it could work," said Mr. Sinclair. Today Avas different from war-time with its, gigantic taxation program, forced savings and rationing. These had made price controls possible. Noav it Avas also necessary to develop social services and expand opportunities for capital investment. BRITISH EXAMPLE He cited Britain as an ex- ample of Avhat happens Avhen price controls are retained, these had forced government into the food business and to continue rationing. "But the real strain in Britain today is caused by the subsidy," he continued. "Subsidies do match, for a period, the higher prices of imports of domestic goods. "As long as you can keep increasing your subsidies, you can hold your cost of living index fairly level." CANT GO ON SPENDING "But the point must come, as it comes in every subsidized state, Avhere you cannot go on spending." Then he cited Britain's experience Avhen subsidy costs to keep dOAvn food prices were cut back from 480,000,000 pounds annually to 410,000- 000 pounds. When the trade unions asked the government last month to stabilize the cost, of living by further subsidies, the an- SAver Avas tfyat these Avould cost another 600,000,000 pounds a * year. Therefore it could not be done, said Mr. Sinclair. That had caused the trade unions to decide to ask for another round of Avage in creases. "In the last six months the actual rise of the subsidized cost of ��� living in Britain is sharper than the rise of the food index Avould have been if there had been no subsidies," he argued. 'BUREAUCRACY/ RED TAPE "Their experience has proven and economists have always said that while price controls, rationing and subsidies may for a time mask the effect of world-wide inflationary pressures, in the end the breaking point com.es. "When that breaking point comes you have not. only got the problems of a free economy, but also on your back you have this, vast load of government bureaucracy, red tape, regimentation . and rationing and all the other- things we know so well from our experience in the second, world war."

The electronic controls actually do a better job of protection hatching eggs than the turkey hen, according to turkey breeders. Prom the period of incubation through maturity, the young turkeys, or poults, are carefully hatched and brooded in scientifically regulated atmospheric conditions.

You can't look ahead and say, " This is going to be a good .year," or ''This won't be so good." The weather and market conditions and many other factors influence the farmer's profit right up to the last. That's why the far-sighted farmer plans his finances as ���carefully as he plans his crops. When; things ; are going well he sets aside as much as he can of his profits, with which to buy in due course more livestock or better equipment, ��� and modernize his farm. Or he " keeps the money as a reserve fund against emergencies. It all4 adds up to the recognition that farming needs capital, too. One of the best ways to build such capital is tp establish a savings account at the Bank of Montreal. When produce cheques are not needed for immediate expenses, there's no better place for ' them\t'han a B of M savings account. Pay a ��� call soon on Tom Larson, manager of the local branch. From his many year s-experience, he can give you helpful advice on the best way to go about your farm financing. .. LEGAL Vancovuer Land Recording District.

Cheese Gauge For Canadi Thursday October 25 1951 The Coast News 9 No one phase of industry in this country better illustrates the economic and population changes, that have taken place in Canada within the past 75 years than does our cheese industry. At one time our leading .commodity in the export market,^shipments abroad have shrunk to almost token amounts, which this year may. be balanced by imports. From almost a negligible, position as a domestic food used by Canadians cheese sales here have steadily advanced until today Canadians are eating well over 60 million pounds yearly. Before the turn of the ;cen- tury a cheese factory was to be found at almost every important crossroads in old Ontario and in Quebec. Hundreds of others were scattered throughout the other provinces.- Making cheese, or providing the milk for cheese, was the big rural industry- In fact, it. was the only method of using and keeping surplus milk as the fin can had yet to be invented and most butter- was home made. In one momentous year Canada exported over 200 million pounds of cheese ��� it was our chief product in world markets until wheat came along. Times have changed. Canada acquired greater population, pasteurization and process milk were invented and cheese, as an export, commodity, gradually lost its attractiveness to Canadian dairymen. This year it is doubtful if much more than 12 to 15 million pounds will go overseas, and some-* where near tha't amount will be imported. But cheese is still maiiufaetured By the millions, of pounds in Canada, in more modern plants with the finest of equipment. The big difference today rs that most cheese made in Canada is eaten by Canadians. In fact, it has become one of the favorite foods of this country. "Cheese Festival", during the month of October, is being sponsored to stimulate an even greater appreciation of this fact.
