The nomination' was seconded by Mr. Mackin of Powell River. A m^otibn to fclose nomina- .tions was unanimously approved. In seconding the nomination of Mr. Maclntyre, Mr. Mackin spoke of him as being a man who was tireless in his efforts to further the well-being of his constituency in his previous term as M.L.A., and one who was honest in his support of Liberal Policy of Free Enterprise in business and trade. He was, Mr. Mackin stated, the natural and appropriate choice as the candidate in the coming e 1 e c t i o n.s, both he and his record in the House being well known to all his constituents.

Unexpected Benefits / Last week,-this week and next, our Peninsula is being treated to a concentrated period of entertainment, provided by the contestants in the PTA Talent Nights. Having followed these events in onercapacity or another, and sometimes as an interested spectator, we have concluded that there are more benefits accruing to the area than was ���originally dreamed or intended by the original sponsors. Our understanding of the amis of these contests is that they were to discover, encourage, and promote the training and development of 'Talents' in entertainment, and to provide the audiences with pleasure and entertainment. These aims are bemjg attained, and to a surprising degree. we feelv ���-,'��' -, ���_.'���, Other benefits, which might well be called 'by-products of the effort are equally important, and all the better because of their spontaneous occurrence. _ Audiences, because of their attendance at consecutive Talent Nights, are becoming more conscious of the very real talents possessed by many of our competing performers. They should be, and we believe are, becoming more discriminating in their appreciation of various types of entertainment. It seems, too, that they are gradually realizing that'to be of value ' a performance need not necessarily be of a classical work^.and'atthe same time,.that the. 'Classical' works can also be entertaining, can even be fun! < - ��� , v In other words, we believe that the training is of real and lasting value to the audiences as well as to the performers. _ Another benefit that evolves is; that of management and executive experience for those to wbbse. lot, it falls, to. organize and conduct^these: Talent Night programs^ These are very arduous taskC and: those who do the-wo��niust heeds receive some reward If no other; they are definitely gaining m experience! , . Finally, we believe that the experience for sponsors, instructors and performers alike, will lead them on to greater goals. Competitions of this nature should, we feel, unearth ^talent in various lines that should be encouraged to go further. Jf necessary the next step might be'Festivals.' # We would like very much to see some type of scholarship ���net up on the Peninsula soon, that might be the means of really providing advanced training in some special line to one or more iof our promising young artists each'year. Have our adults advanced so far? '����� who believe this accusation/ Premier , Manning shall answer for himself, the following is a paragraph from his own reply to my letter.

Primroses are easily divided in the . spring, and. one choice plant may become a hundred in a few short years. If you possess any primrose or polyanthus with extra good form and color, do increase it, and gradually do away with the faded pink and dull red plants that clutter so many gardens. Nothing can beat the appeal of the old-fashioned English prim- irose, but to see it_at its best put your spare plants in a woodsy spot, where they can get the shade they love and lots of good leaf nipuld to> {thrive in. / The^polyanthus or bunch flowered primrose is attracting more attention! than thfe older forms now; and the modern types' with good stems and large flowers in the most wonderful shade® are an annual joy. These •are usually grown from expensive seed, and take a good deal of care; in raising, hut the results are well worth it. Discard the colors you don?t care for but wait, for their second blooming before doing this. ( Another favorite primrose is the double kind; the charming mauve known as Quaker's Bonnet comes from the 18th century, and should be^ cherished as a garden/heirloom by sthe lucky owner. /They like, a rich open soil in|.whch:- compost or old stable manure has been mixed, and a'good mulch of soil and shredded leaves around them after planting, and will then •thrive even in full sun. The white, purple and sulphur doubles, are less available, the latter costing up to$3.00 a plant when located,, -„ V!<%K areJstilL showing trie odd bloom, and should be divided each year or two in late^ spring. Like the primroses, these love a semi-shaded spot, and like ' a compost rich soil and leaf r mould as a diet. Frequent division and-renewed soil will ensure larger blooms and keep the plant healthy. The better forms have long stems and the same sweet fragrance, and will even pro- : yide pin money for the grower / who can get them to an early; market. One elderly couple we know grow them under home made cloches and cold frames with great success. Violets like a sweet soil, and crushed eggshells or lime in moderation help a lot. -;■■-■■-■•■■■■ -:;-.;■-.;. •;■'■■■•■■ - lints by Helpful Hannah .

You'd be reasonably sure the people of B.C. weren't going to go "oft the deep end." But you would hope that this kind of uncertainty about the future would be cleared up by British Columbians once and for all. Then you could say with positive assurance, "Send your savings to B.C.

Thursday April 30, -953 6 The Coast News r��� By students of Elphinstone Junior-Senior High School Editor in Chief: Celia Elumerfelt News Editor: Donna Bingley Social News Editor: Vera Bursey Sports Edtior: B.J. Woods t by Eric Lindwall Well it seems that the time for indoor sports is over. Several things prove this; the first of which is accidents. All whiter people kept breaking arms, riming into walls, skinning knees falling on the gym floor and in the great sport of tag, tumbling down the stairs. Now that outdoor sports have come into vogue, the type of injury is different. There have;: been broken toes resulting from kicking rocks, broken fingers from rather unexpected contact with a "soft ball and of course, the old stand-by, s p r a i n e d etnkles;the result of over-enthusiastic participation in softball when the ground is coated with several inches of slippery mud. The change in the type of Clothing, (and the condition��� as I said before, it's muddy,) is quite evident, too. The more bptomistic students dressed in lighter clothes and carrying t a new set of "cleats" or "spikes" over their shoulder. What if it is raining��� it's the end of April and softball HAS to start'sometime. But then why should I talk? I'm just as optomistic as the rest. The Sports Beat * by Roy Duncan Last Friday saw the last glimpse of basketball around Elphinstone for 1953. House playoff began on Wednesday with the junior boys and girls playing off that day. House. B, junior girls decisioned House C (to take the Junior Girls title. ' House A brought up the rear. In the junior boys game between A and B it was a different story. The two teams were tied at the end of regulation time and were still deadlocked after five minutes of overtime. The game was postponed until the next day when House B won the Junior Boys title. C finished in the cellor. On Thursday House B. finished off the season in grand form polishing off House A 25���13 to take the Senior Boys title. Again House C ended up in the base- , Rient. After Friday's games the basketballs were all deflated and packed away in mothballs with all the other indoor equipment tor the year and the softball paraphernalia was given out. P.E. classes were turned into half decent shape for House competition which started Monday. Houses A and B officially Opened softball on Wednesday. A took a close 6���4 win. On Friday House C came from behind to eke out a3���2 over House B. House B senior girls edged House C 5���4. House A junior boys romped to a 19���3 Win over House B. House C junior girls beat House A on Tuesday. .House B junior girls smeared House A bf a 16���11 score. With the announcement that the school sports day will take place' the day before Coronation Day. June 1st, many track enthusiasts are getting in top condition for the bis event. The rumour is going around that a school softball team will be formed to play other schools ladmmion rnamen A team of six players from Elphinstones Badminton , club were sent to town during the Easter holidays to represent the school at the B.C. Junior Tournament. The proceeds from various projects of the club were used for travelling expenses. The Vancouver Lawn Tennins and Bad- ; minton Club was used for the tournament on the 8th, 9th and 10th. The games began early in the morning and went until 5:30 at night. ' ^ ��� The games were run quite a bit differently to what our team was used to,' even _so they had many good games. The team managed to get as far as the semi-finals. .-.,- \ We had no winners but our players stood up well to the more trained and experienced opponents from all over B.C. The 300 entrants came from Fort St. James, Vernon, Cran- brook, Victoria, Vancouver and of course Gibsons. We have hopes that next year with more knowledge etc. we will be able to have some Elphinstone entrants as winners. Pat Peterson. and teams. I sure hope this goes further than the rumour stage, because the school" has a potentially strong team. It seems a shame that basketball is the only sport that Elphinstone sends teams into interschool competition when good .' teams inV /other4.sportsv could, be fielded; The -word is also going around that a Peninsula League will be>;formed this season involving a couple* of /.teams', from Port';. Mellon, Gibsonjs -.arid Sechelt. This also would be a step in the right direction because it would be the first time the Peninsula had been formed' into* a body in any sport. Last year Sechelt formed a local league which proved very successful. One /of the main reasons "the league faired Jso well was that it had good support from the local people. So if this league does materialize how aboutrgoing out and taking in the ball games. Even though you donlt know anything about softball its easy to learn. B. W. M.

Each year we at Imperial add up the company's bills to see what happened to the money we received in the previous 12 months for the gasoline, fuel oil and other products we sell. Here's where each dollar of Imperial's 1952 income went: CRUDE OIL and other raw materials we bought, plus freight, took more than half of each dollar. OPERATING expenses took more than 28 cents. This was the cost of searching for and producing crude oil, and of manufacturing and marketing the hundreds of products we supplied for thousands of uses. Throughout the year high quality products were made available where and when you needed them. TAXES to provincial and federal governments took 10 cents. And this did not include gasoline tax, which���depending on where you live��� took from 24 to 36 cents out of every dollar you spent for standard grade gasoline.

Children from four years of age to eighteen, and representatives of the adult classes also competed. v While the contestants limited themselves in the main to vocal fud piano work, several of the performances were judged noteworthy. Students placed well up In their respective groups. The panel of judges from Roberts Creek were Mrs. -Vr Beeves, Miss M. Maclntyre and Mrs D. Wortman, the former two having taken the places of Mrs. Kennedy ��nd Mrs. Gs��Hfo>rd, Who were unable to attend. Winners in the adult group- Were Mrs. Sladey, for her song, ���'Songs My Mother Taught Me," $nd Mrs. Haddock with her piano arrangement of "Danny Boy". " ���'"���������'���'��� '.- In the fifteen to eighteen class, there was only one contestant, Poiores Brown, with a Vocal Solo "Harbour Lights." Whil*> Polores had shown the results of / considerable practice, she was not awarded a sufficient score to enter the finals. In the eleven to fourteen class? of instrumentalists, certificates were awarded to Joan Nicol, a self-taught little pianist whom the judges stated to be possessed of a remarkable talent, and Margaret 3leid, whose playing of the "Blue Danube" netted a firm second. In the Vocal section of this *ge group, second place went to Patsy Reiter and Dorothy Greg- erson for their duet, an unusual arrangement of "Flow Gently, Sweet Afton", while the standing for the Finals competition went without reserve to Fay Cherry for her performance of "June is in My Heart". The . Judges commented on the sweet true voice and pleasant stage presence of this performer. In the/ seven to ten group, entries were few, and t awards given to just one first and. one second. These were handily taken by Richard Daly, whose recitation "And So Was I!" got 9. warm reception, and Alice Phillips a close second with her vocal solo, "Whither Away.";, It was little Patsy Slady who really brought the house down. Seeming completely self-possessed, and with every appearance of a seasoned performer, Patsy Bang with delightful naturalness her solo "Oh, Dear, What Can the matter Be?" The audience rocked. It was not until after the entire performance that her mother confessed that Patsy had oeen so gtirred as to be "sick all over". The entire evening was successfully handled by the Committee ���and the able M.C., Mr. Jim Marsh. Intervals while the judges 'were conferring were filled by the audience in community singing, and Mrs. Haddock entertaining at the piano.
