According to his figures thei ayerage mill rate wa_ abojut 15 mill!?! with several assessing for the maximum of 20 mills. ,; He oatlined, briefly, the functions of the three types of municipal government in the province���village, district, and city. (There are no town's in B.C.) The position of villages has improved tremendously in the past few years,, he remarked, but a village can borrow money only for water and sewage. Queried on the Indian Re- serve lands which separatels; Selma Bark from Sechelt, he said that the Indian reseryer could be incorporated within the village, but the * village would have no jurisdiction over the Indians. It would, however, hatve jurisdiction over non-Indians who leased ;property on the Reserve. ?M?r. J. H.

It did not ,have to do with frills and unnecessary expense, but dealt, rather, with absolute necessities .for the well-being of the community ��� such as width of roads; pla.yground size, and location of industry within the. During the hour-long question period which followed the two talks, Mr. Bracewell had a barrage of questions (shot at him, dealing with all questions from tax assessments, Indian reserves, to road upkeep.

Plans, alone, have, taken hours to check; Avorkers have had to be lined up for the various jobs that have to be done. And, the big ta'sk of the day itself, is going to add more headaches. Those Avho are working on the preparations are not paid for the job, nor are they experts in that kind of job. Most of them do a better job behind a counter, or at a desk. They are putting in the extra time, for you and me. Let's not let them doAvn because of.our apathy.

J. Hopkins, leading international industrialist, told the Canadian Manufacturers Association, meeting recently. Mr. Hopkins, Avho is chairman and president of General Dynamics Corporation in NeAAr York a'nd its Montreal subsidiary, Canadian Ltd., Avarned his listeners that the principal factor that deters Stalin from ordering his legions into action is fear of the joint industrial strength of Canada and thei United States. Emphasizing that what" the tAvo countries can do jointly is greater than any poAver ' Communism can command, Mr. Hopkins praised the tremendous progress Canada has made industry in the last decade. He describe too Iioav Qanadaiiy located here, is a! good example of Iioav defence contracts, placed Avith one firm can be spread out to provide valuable business opportunities and increased employment in many parts of the country. He added that more than, 120 Canadian plants, many in smaller com-. imnnities, Avill be aiding Can- tfdair, in addition to more than one thousand suppliers. ''Our industrial machine," lie .etnfmasized, "must be kept '- strong, sound and flexible and must be able to provide, for DRINK many years hence, Avcapons of war in number and variety that will give any aggressor pause." "At, the same time," he said "it must be able to supply thei day-by-day needs for our civilian economy at a rate that will enable us to control inflation." Speaking on the responsibility of. business to protect the free enterprise system, Mr. Hopkins declared that businessmen must be as alert to detect and oppose a moA^e towards socialistic interference and straight-jacketing by state control ate to detect a flaiAv in their manufacturing processes. Our industrial strength is inseparable from our free enterprise system," he said emphatically, "and an attack upon one is an attack upon the other." Mr. Hopkins described the. recent steel industry Lseizure in the United States as interference Avith rights of share OAvn- ers, labor and management and warned' that it could well set a precedent that Avould not be Avithout repercussions In Canada. He said the unwary public must understand there is the iron hand of totalitarianism inside the velvet gloA^e of a planned economy planned by dictation. <# ($m 'R*3��- Mfl'Rrt 'RIE.C Economical refreshment FOR THE VERY FINEST HARDWARE CHINA and DRYGOODS GROCERIES ��� DRUGS FISHING SUPPLIES I HOME ESSENTIALS MURDOCH'S MARINE SUPPLY Pender Harbour, B.C. iCf s Going The old "forty-acre" farm kitchen is going modern.

Thursday May 22 1952 The Coast News 3 g Business Has M.oriy Touch One of the problems of a modern industrial society is that technological improvements often bring Avith them neAv complications in the field of human relations. As industry has groAvn. more efficient, it has acquired in the process a reputation for being .cold and impersonal. In some cases the ,, reputation may be deserved; in others, however, it just doesn't apply. A survey made by a Chicago publication .���shows hoAv a number of companies are demonstrating, for example, that they have not lost the knack of being a good neighbor. Here are a few examples:- Farmers in the area around Fairbury, Illinois, are invited to visit Honeggers & Company, feed mill operators, for information on the latest developments in good farming. The company makes its agricultur- �� al research available to all its neighbors. For years the .Caterpillar Tractor Company has been -placing-its earth-moving equipment at the community's disposal for civic purposes, along with operators to man it. The company also maintains a speakers' bur e au, through which community organiza- tions-are supplied Avith interesting speakers on a variety of - subjects for their meetings. ~A Chicago hospital discovered that study groups, especially women in outlying neigh- / borhoods, \vould be interested . * in seeing a program about :a?;?-? hospital. So it decided to make an inexpensive slide film on the. subject, and the film has been An steady demand ever~;"\ since. Closer to home, the brewing firm of John Labatt Ltd., in London,; Ontario, has long '.? made' sure that none of its . trucks! passes a motorist in trouble on the open highway. Whether it's a^ flat tire-or an '���.. empty gas' tank, the Labatt's driver looks after it and helps get.the motorist back on the road again. These are just few of the ways in Avhich a growing number of companies are proving that modern industry, in addition to being an economic iasset to the community in which it is located, can, be a good citizen and a good neighbor as Avell.

Sechelt By ARIES B., M. Maclntyre (Batt), [Liberal candidate for MacKenzie riding, addressed a large meeting in the Legion Hall in Sechelt, May 3. Although he had served as a. straight Coalitionist in the larst legislative assembly and with a conservative background, he had now chosen to carr3r the standard for the Liberals. As he explained, he had given the issue much thought and had come to the conclusion that the Conservative party is over-cautious, and being a firm believer in free enterprise, no other course was feasible, with the huge development in* the offing of the province. He gave a very comprehensive report of his work for the riding in the last t?hree years, which included additional grants for public works, award of a contract to build a road from Gibsons to Port Mellon at a cost of $206,- 000, institution of the Ferry System connecting the Peninsula and Vancouver by which ' people can now drive through by car, also ai road cut-off through the Halfmoon Bay ��� Pender Harbour route, which will result in the B.C. Power Commission supplying this area with the much needed power this year, obtained the ��� first paving appropriation that' this riding has had. Captain Andrew Johnston,- president of the local association, was chairman for the meeting and Mrs. Geo Kynoch was at the piano and a humorous note was. struck when two versions of "O Canada!" were sung. So many Legionaries there that, the ISuchan version won out as evidently they can sing the loudest. Refreshments ' were served by ladies of the local association and "Batt" and" hii> campaign manager, Mr. H. Davis of Powell River, met old friends and made many new ones. We are afraid that the swamp behind the Village Centre is becoming very much a fire hazard. Had quite a! conflagration tliere recently, which the prompt work on behalf of the local volunteer fire brigade soon put out. However, something should be done to make a fire break there. We notice lots of broken glass lying in the sun amongst all the dried sa'ge brush. This soon ignites, and with a high wind it would certainly, travel ��� the fire that is. Glad to see some old friends from Gibsons, Capt. a nd Mrs. Metcalfe and their niece, Miss, . Walton, visiting Mr. and Mrs. Ted Osborne., Wally Malikoff -has taken over the Home Oil agency from Louis Hansen. He tells us he will; also keep on his radio* shop. Don't see how he can do so much work, but we wish him lots of luck in his new venture. He is a, very energetic young man, a young veteran and deserves all the breaks he can get. , The Canadian. Legion flower show is in June, don't forget! Have lots of blooms. All may not be in the prize winning class?, but whatever is donated is welcome, and it's all for a good c-a,use.

Arnold, C. Beacon, and C. Wood, trustees. The credit committee consists of A. Lock- wood, J. Swan, and J. Muir- head. Now, with the growing business, the committee has been enlarged to include A. Osman, D. Francis and K. Gallier. Supervisory ebmmitte consists of T. Slark, A. King, and Bill Walker,, and A. J. Cameron, is credit union treasurer. The organization has done a fine job in helpmg^newcomers in the .community to find the spare cash to settle in the find new homes built by the company. With this record of good-will, 'and with the help fpom the pulp company, there is every indication that the credit union will continue to grow with Port Iffellon.

The Halfmoon Bay VON held its regular monthly meeting May 6, at the, home of Mrs. Burrows with president, Mrs. Meuse, in the chair. After reading of the min- utep by Mrs. Mayson and treasurers report by Mrs. Petersen, Mrs. Meuse read a copy of the resolution from the regional meeting of the VON, held April 30 in Roberts Creek, proposing discontinuing VON services. This was hotly contested and after a spirited discussion a resolution was drafted to bie presented to a special meeting called for May 28 at the Legion Elall, Sechelt. The resolution in part, asks that the VON continue operating for at least six months. It must be kept in mind that the VON is not a money making concern and was never intended to be. It is am, irreplaceable service in a rural area, like the Peninjsula, espe- , eially to elderly people and expectant or new mothers. Halfmoon Bay VON sincerely hopes that some manner of administration be reached that- will allow the VON to continue. Mrs. Baerd, Mrs. Nutio and Mrs. Mayson of Middle Point have almost finished the handmade rug, the first prize in the raffle. It will be on' display soon at the Trading Post, and drawn, for on June 14. Other prizes are a ha.by set, pillow cases, and a surprise'1 Box. Tickets are on sale' at 3 for 25c. The meeting adjourned, and refreshments were served, by hostesses Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Nutio. The next meeting is on June: 3, at the- home of Mm. Meikle. Hostesses will be Mrs. 'Ro"ber'ts6?n and Mrs. Raven. P-TA The Halfmoon Bay P-TA held its monthly meeting the afternoon of May 7, with /president, Mrs; It. Raven, in the! chair. Seeretary-trea'surer, Mrs. 0. Smith read the minutes and the treasurers report, noting they had a balance of nearly $50.

EATON C�� UMITEO Community Hall ��� Fetes Birthday Fender. Talent High! aws Good Crowd The Coast News Thursday May 22 1952 By MADGE NEWMAN Many happy returns of the day to Roberts Creek Community Hall, 18 years old on May 24. There it stands, just off the Highway on the Po.st Office Road, rugged and solid on it's new underpinnings ��� enduring evidence of faith, hope, unselfish efforts and cooperation. As far back as 1931 efforts were made to raise money by donation and other means to build a hall to satisfy the needs ,of the community, sparsely settled as it was, and almost totally lacking in monetary assets. Dances and parties were held in the two schools. Admission was small, music free, and sumptuous suppers supplied by the ladies. Land for the hall was donated by the late John Roberts, and the Farmers' Institute became a board of trustees for the building. In 1932 the little community became a hive of industry for not a man refused to help in one way or another. Several residents of Wilson Creek also joined the project -and with an initial donation of $100 and voluntary labor, the sills and first floor were realized. This exhausted the funds and work was suspended for another year when further reinforcements enabled the work to continue. On May 24, 1924, the building completed, the hall was officially openied and well- wishers from all the surrounding countryside filled it to overflowing, dancing until the horning hours. $140 was taken in that day. Admission in those early clays was 25e for men and cake or sandwiches for the ladies, ajid the tables groaned with goodies. Music cost a dollar an hour. The hall prospered and it was not long before a. kitchen was added, also erected by voluntary lahor. In 1944 the hall board, with substantial help from the local Players' Club, built on a good sized stage which was used for the fir.st time on May 27, 1944. In February 1950 the Elphinstone Bay -Farmers' Institute having ceasied to function, the hall board incorporated, with Mrs. R. Hughes as that body's first president. There will be a dance at the hall this 24th of May, too, but the. admission won't be 25c, and the music will cost probably more than a hundred dollars, and you will buy your refreshments extra, and they won't consist of gob,s of- whipped cream icing and cakes oozing real butter. Yea verily, times have changed but the people haven't and the hall board works jiAst as purposefully and patiently as ever, still striving for a hall of which we may be justly proud, in which we ca'n hold all our big affairs, such as dances, concerts, etc. Their main project for this year is" restrooms. Improvements, must come slowly as the cost of maintenance is high. If we. all give our dollars, whether we dance or not, it will speed up the work of making the hall more tenable. After all it is the hall that is most used to raise money for any other- project so why- should it not. be useful for itself. A dollar for a birthday present isn't too much and now that the hall is 18," it certainly could use th�� money. May 16 may well be an historic date, the first Talent Nite being held that evening in Pendiera Hall. A capacity audience, turning out on a lovely Spring evening, made it an outstanding event. . Opened by -MC, Johnnie Haddock, the Talent Nite was formally welcomed to Pender area by Mrs. Clara Lee, pres ident of the PrTA. Programme consisted of al vocal with guitar by Ed. Wray, vocal by Alice Philps, piano splo by Bonnie Olsen. and vocal by Diane Dusenbury accompanied by Mrs. R. Dusenbury.

Impersonation by George Wilson, a prize-winning Irish dan.ee by Jessie Scoular, Bonnie Dubois, and Carol Bryde, monologue by Diana. Mellwain, a!nd vocal by Aurel Cook. Monologue by Richard Daily, piano solo by Chrissie Cameron, vocal by Patsy Reiter, and a Virginia reel by ten- girls.

The candidate so elected in each riding will have received an absolute majority over all other candidates combined.
