Close to 500 persons crowded Elphinstone high school hall Friday night to see the students stage Gilbert and Sullivan's Mikado. From the opening chorus of nobles describ- 'ing who they were to the final chorus in which the threatened. x cloud had passed away, the performance can be described as an ambitious one carried out with great success. It was a success because it was the. first effort of such jmagnitude attempted by the students. It? was ambitious to. say the least and required a great deal of work to put it across? The scenery prepared by members of he Art Club gave an opening clue as to the quantity and quality of effort.

Next came Tom Helena as ?Pooh:Bah then Gary Butler as Nanki-Poo and Wilson Anderson as Pish-Tush. Dick Vernon, as the ..Emperor of Japan had a difficult role to handle and carried himself well but could have been more despotic. Laurels should, go to Jean Hague, Heather Bracewell and. Lloyd Burritt because they carried, the performance. Any weakness in their roles would have-.created difficulties- for the other characters^. To say certain characters carried :the performance is partly correct because without direction from Mrs, E. Vernon, piano, accom- pariinxent-by.Lynj,Vernon and a minimum- of- prompting by.

I will destroy this temple that is made with hands and in three, days I will build another made without hands." ' Ciaiphas, son-in-law of Annas; head of the priesthood hierarchy arranged the trial. Jesus made no attempt to deny the charge. Unanimous consent of those hearing the trial led Ciaiphas to pronounce sentence of death. - Execution of the sentence w^s not within the powers of the priesthood so Procurator jPilate, who had such power, had to be convinced the death .sentence was->warranted. He demurred rnd sought a way out of his predicament. It was Passover time and a period yvihen rulers on great occasions granted pardon to a", political prisoner^ So Pilate decided he might get out of his. pre- dicament by offering a choice, free Barabbas, convicted, of murder and sedition, or free Jesus, a leader, of a movement. The crowded court area was packed by friends of the priesthood who demanded the freedom for Barabbas. Crucifixion of Jesus fol-V lowed. ;.-....',. Lionel Curtis, a prominent member of the Round Table fraternity back in the 30's wrote an excellent work, The Com.- monwealth of God.

He wrote: ,\ "Of all the lessons brought to my mind in the long task .of framing this narrative the deepest is this, .that apparent failure when faced with courage and examined with reason, is the road to superlative triumph?. That I believe is the true meaning which underlies all? that has; happened since the dawn- which broke on Easter Day. The -spirit of phrist rose from his grave.

HempsaU Community Chairman By Hubert Evans Each fall when the curtain of Indian summer comes down, people in other parts of rural Canada are put on their mettle by the?; certainty of winter; a hard ana positive sort of winter. Almost overnight woodpile and storm windows, silo, root-house ?and hay shed become strategic defense points in the, long white siege and. the very air carries the tingle of challenge. A hearty feeling of preparedness gives zest "to the chores of farm and kitchen.' But in our coastal British Columbia settlements the thought, and often the spoken, word, is, "Summer has gone." The great withdrawal is upon us, a certain -active quality has been drained from life and a low-spirited awareness of disintegration makes itself felt Blighted ferns and sodden Life's Darkest Moment discard of unfrpsted*. leaves give dreary denial to the static green \ of salal and the Oregon grape's unsurrendered; fronds.* I Fiom eaves and from sagging bough along ipaths and pkidroads, beads in the rosary of the rain tetl off the lengthening nights.

At the time of the Red River uprising of 1870, Andre Nault led the Metis Indians, who seized Fort Garry, and commanded the firing party at the execution of Thomas Scott. Nault was born in 1829 in the Red River Settlement. Though he had no Indian blood, he spent his. life among the Metis and was regarded by them as ��� one of themselves. After the uprising he took refuge in the U.S. but returned to Canada some years later to-die, at St.? Vital, Manitoba, at the ripe old age of 95. Which was the first French regular- regiment in Canada? The Carignan-Saiirees constituted the first andonly regiment of regular troops sent out from France to serve in the small colony and subjugate the Iroquois. The . regiment arrived in the suminer of *1665 after repeated requests rfrom New France, but its work was only partly successful:.-Of:-the li-Sy una sent out, more than itoO. died, from disease and fron tier warfare. About 40ty remained in Canada after. 1668. taking up land and* con-tinu- ing to act as a guard fens the small colony. Who was John Gyles? John Gyles was the 1*2 year old son of a judge at Pema- quid, > Me., who in 1689 was carried off by a Maliseet Indian during a raid. After six years of great hardship he was sold to the Sieur de ChauffeUri who held a seigniory on the St.' John River. When he was 19 Gyles was responsible fc* having his master's property spared by New England, raiders. This won him his freedom and after an absence of nearly nine years he returned to New England. His "Memoirs of Odd Adventures, Strange Deliverances, etc., in the Captivity of John Giles, Esq'... Written by Himself" is one of the most famous narratives of Indian capacity; it is also the most important account in English of life in New'Brunswick during the 17th century. After his release, Gyles acted as Indian Interpreter for the Massachusetts government and served as captain of several garrisons. Which provincial capital was once called "Pile, of Bones"? Regina, capital of Saskatchewan, was once called "Pile of Bones;:" $n pre^settlement days, the.area had been a favored buffalo-hunting ground for the Indian iand Metis. The herds were run into pounds constructed along the creek. Bone piles, accumulated from the frequent slaughters, gave the creek its name, which in Cree is Oskana or Wascana. Such a riaime was deemed inappropriate for a capital, and Princess Louise, the then Gbv- ernor-Geherars w|fe, renamed the site, Regina, in honor of her mother, Queen Victoria. The location of the? CPR? railway determined: the choice; of Regina as capital by the federal government and the CPR officials in 1882. The old capital of the province, Battleford, proved to be too far north of the railway. . ^r,^3^?canjgaignf; .,^:?.: ^^^l^^,- yyy--; !;;^Tnereare so many futod drives nowadays that we someUmes approach the press with some itrepir dation However, despite'the impositions on your time and space, you always respond nobly to otir needs.

It seems reasonably certain that many . of the world's greatest benefactors have spent a lot of time in the same school. They owed their purpose and resolution to the obstacles they met and overcame. I once'heard a millionaire tell a group of [ friends about his experience as a news boy. He said: "I ha_ a tough time and was often discouraged but %know now it was good for me. I learned to meet the public arid when rebuffs and insults came I took it ion the chin and kept on going." Many a man with such experience decides to protect his own children from such hardships and surrounds theni with, luxuries he never, knew, as a lad. He has them driving, expensive cars while still in their teens. What happens? in most cases they pathetically lack the -strong qualities of their fathers.

On the .east coast- of Britkin, near pogger ? ^ Banks, there are many little fishing villages where, for many generations, hardy fishermen, reap the harvest of the sea and send it on to London arid other cities. There is no scarcity of fish in the near-by waters but the fishermen's - troubles began: after the fish were caught.-The fish, when on >their way to London, were kept ih "large tanks with perforated sides so that the water- from th# sea could flow in and out and thus the fish were kept fresh. There was, however, this drawback; once securely in the tank which was- lowered into the sea, the fish ceased to swim around and simply lay lirnp and listless. When delivered at Billingsgate, London's fam ous fish market/ tliey did not appear as appetizing or fresh as when they had been first ��aught, although they were still alive.e All the fishermen had the same trouble ��� all but one. "**��� 'S~ ���������> There was one fisherman who managed to get his fish to market in excellent condition. He handed them to the delighted merchants, healthy, lively and firm as when they were first caught. Naturally the dealers were all anxious to buy from this man and to pay him the highest price. Other fishermen marvelled at his success and vainly guessed at the secret of it. Thaty went on for several years and all their guessing was in vain. Justr before his death the ��� ojd fisherman instructed his daughter to pass, on the secret to the other men. She told them that her father used to* drop a catfish into the perforated tank. This kept the other |fish in a. state of excitement, a perfect ferment of agitation and alarm. They never got a, cnance to lie there and become limp and listless as did the fish in the other tanks. The catfish wouldn't allow them to be lazy; it was. constantly on the go and kept them Jon the go. * ;'*, * ���.,;. ;There is something worth, remeriibering? in- that story. There .are few people, perhaps none at all, who do not have something in their lives which irritates and annoys. We say: "There is a fly in the ointment." -Yet these things are often beneficial; in the long run.

OFF TO TERRACE Mrs. J. Garlick left by plane April l,.for a yisit for a couple of weeks -with her parents in Terrace, B.C. ���<�� 6 Coast News, April 3, 1958. By Mrs. M. Newman It was in 1913 that the settlement of Block 2596 and adjacent property at Roberts Creek began and by the end of that year several families had moved on to five, 10 and 20 acre lots. Among the first of these were Ed Truesdale, his wife, small step-daughter and infant son. Their lot was immediately back of that owned by Joe Crow and they came to it a few months before the Crows arrived from the prairies. It, is supposed that their intention was to farm, but how or with what is not known. Their land was ��� barren of all growth except salal and pine trees. In an attempt to get water, Ed dug a well, going down through 40 feet of shale. The lower he went the drier it became, until at last he gave it MULTl-MJLLION DOLLAR LURE! One out of every four men in B.C. now participate in *' sports fishing. For gear, transportation, gas, oil, accommodation they pay on the average $120 per year to enjoy this recreation. These dollars, added to those produced by the commercial fishery amount to a veritable fortune for British Columbians. Recognizing these . facts, B.C.'s salmon industry works closely- with those concerned, to preserve and perpetuate this important resource for recreational purposes, as well as for it* vital food value. FISHERIES ASSOCIATION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA V2S4-2 up and continued to carry water from a roadside spring which, was situated nearly a quarter of' a mile' from the house.' Perhaps he did not know that he was midway between two creeks, either one being nearer than the spring. Perhaps he did know but went to the spring by the road in hopes of seeing a passerby. To say Mrs. Truesdale was lonesome is an understatement Quite regularly she carried her washing over rough trails to the J. Darward's home so that she could have ' companv While doing the laundering. Quite frequently she lost bits of it on the way back, which gave her an excuse to return, for another opportunity to talk During that first winter when all about them "lay the silent snow, and day followed monotonous day, Mrs. Truesdale suddenly demanded to be taken tp the doctor at Gibsons. As there was no conveyance of any kind available, Ed set to work and built a sleigh, on which he pulled the sufferer six weary white miles ��� and back again. At least it was an outing. Across the road from the Crow farm, on land, which later became the Whitworth's there was5a tiny shack built upon stilts, and in it lived a bachelor, Bill Bennett, and a friend who was visiting him. These two were not noted for early rising, but on the days when Mrs. Truesdal'e's loneliness was at its peak she descended upon the two helpless men trapped -within, sitting for long hours on their doorstep, 'talking through the walls at them. They doubtless gazed with longing eyes through the wiridow at the vista of trniber that surrounded their prison and regretted their erstwhile laziness. - The. dwelling that Ed Truesdale had fashioned for his family consisted of one rooiiri and an enclosed porch. It was made entirely of shakes and logs and was lined with build- , ing paper. But for the rumor of John Muilins' hidden treasure this hardy little house might still be intact. The Truesdales went from, here to the Harrison Lake district where they hoped to find fewer trees and more people and the waterless well and the pine trees passed on to John Mulling in 1918.

Save for a brief between beat rest, it keeps right on working ��� day after day, year after year. Contrary to popular belief, the heart is not a delicate-organ. It is tough, and amazingly durable. From the standpoint of mechanical perfection no pump created by the genius of atomic age science can surpass it.

Yeti either wholly or in part, it is not immune to sickness and disaster. The extent to .which this is true is mirrored by some grim statistics. Diseases of the heart and circulation, now responsible for about 51 percent of all deaths, affect more than 1,200,000 Canadians, among them 60,000 children of school age. . * ; They constitute Canada's foremost health problem and the leading medical challenge of our time. Until only, two or three decades ago, the view was widely held that "nothing can be done about heart disease," which was seen as the inevitable forerunner of death ��� something quite beyond the reach of med- vical science. In years past,' this same fatalistic viewpoint prevailed regarding such "epidemic" diseases as smallpox, typhoid and j yellow fever, diphtheria and ! bubonic plague. As the infectious diseases succumbed to medical science, so have many other disorders of the body been remedied or cured by new advances in drug therapy and surgery.

As a result, people now realize that no medical problem ��� and this specifically includes the heart diseases���- is iiecessarily beyond solution.

Her opening remarks to throw the program away be- fckuse she was not paying any attention to it, set the audience at ease. - From ^then. ori she sang her way through, folk songs, of many lands and sang them with a voice exuding warmth and a pleasantness refreshing to say the least. It is no easy matter for one person, even good looking and with a beautiful Spanish guitar, to occupy the centre of a large stage for about two hours and please an audience. That is just what. Nina Dova did and did well. There would be those per- numbers and others would pre- jsons iwho liked the English fer the French but the writer iliked her in the Latin American and Spanish numbers best. Her' playing pf the guitar was the work of one who apparently loved the instrument and found, it a good companion. Nina Dova in explaining why the program was to be, thrown away said she was in the mood for other songs: It is difficult to judge whether the audience suffered any by not being able to follow a program but if the programmed concert had been given, it would have had to be of top quality to match the performance the audience heard. Nina Dova has a "commanding stage appearance,, is an artist and as such has apparent- ly ,made a wide study of tlie, her George Gershwin Slimmer- ��� folk song in many lands. ?Even time from Porgy and'Bess was superior to many others by singers with more prominent names. The evening's entertainment-, was well worth hearing and it wound up another season of Overture Concerts with a standard that has been maintained in all performances to date.
