COURTEOUS SERVICE About 30 persons attended the meeting in Totem Dining Room in Sechelt on Thursday of last week when representatives of boards of trade and other organizations from Powell River to Port Mellon discussed ferry problems with Col. George Paulin and B. Tol- lofson of Black Ball Ferries. At the meeting were representatives from Powell River, Pender Harbour, Sechelt, Selma Park, Roberts Creek, Gibsons and Port Mellon. Magistrate Johnston declared the meeting was to be informal but speakers had to hew to the line and discuss Black Ball service only. Black Ball Ferries, he said. Tom Cook is now 96 Sechelt's first white settler, Thomas J. Cook celebrated his 96th birthday quietly with his family recently. Coming here in 1894, Mr. Cook built the first log house on property which later became the O'kel- ley's, then the Flecks but now owned by Mr. C. McDermid. He has had a wonderful life and was at one time on the household staff of the Empress Eugenie of France. He sailed the seven seas before dropping anchor at Sechelt where he was appointed the first Justice of the Peace. He was beloved by the Indians who sought his advce and aid in their many legal mat- -! ters which arose at that time. Some years ago he donated land for St. Hilda's Anglican church and pioneer cemetery where many old-timers are buried. He has two daughters, Mrs. S. Dawe the wife of Capt. S. Dawe, retired and live�� here, and" Mrs. Henry Whittaker of Pender Harbour. Mr. Cook does not get around much now owing to an accident but he is still keenly interestel in the village of Sechelt. had developed the Sunshine Coast area but what wag sought was improvement. The company had shown a willingness in the past to co-operate and he expected the same condition still existed. Col. Paulin outlined the com plaints received by his company in a letter from the Sechelt Board oi Trade transportation committee. These complaints concerned breakdowns en the ferries, the ferries were thought to be of inadequate size, the need for an auxiliary vessel to help out at peak load times, long delays at Langdale, the jamming of vehicles on ferries so people could not get out of cars, drabness of ferry interiors, no radio or TV, the charge to private cars was exorbitant, no commuter tickets and no explanation was ever given to the waiting public for delays at points of delay. Taking each, complaint singly, Col. Paulin first reviewed Black Ball history starting with the Quillayute operating to Gibsons at a time when there were no good roads. In co-operation with the provincial government Black Ball helped get paved roads. In 1954 the service was extended to Powell River and in 1956 two ferries were put on the Howe Sound run and lately Bowen Island had been added. This had been done, Col. Paulin explained, without having to resort to subsidies and included the second slip att Horseshoe Bay and the new slip at Langdale. Today's greatest difficulty, he said, was in finding money to keep pace with growth. "We have plowed back all available funds into the expansion of service but it cannot all be done at once," Col. Paulin added. He did not agree the present service was inferior and in all fairness in view of what Black Ball has done to help develop the Sunshine Coast he could not consider it in that light. As regards breakdowns, the service operated under federal government rules under control of the department of transport which checked the ferries thoroughly each year and OK'd the ferries for service. In the (Continued on Page 6) CNIB plans Doctors unable to save baby 1 dri annua! drive Ted Henniker, chairman of the local branch, C.N.I.B., announced preliminary plans are being laid for the early fall canvass for funds for the work of the Canadian National Institute, for the Blind. This appeal will be carried out by local volunteers. Mr. Henniker said that in previous years there has been a multiplicity of appeals, allegedly to help tlie blind in this province, but he urged the public to know before giving just where their "gift dollars" were going. The Canadian National Institute for the Blind covers nil phases of rehabilitation ��� welfare services including free library service to any blind person wishing to receive either Braille editions or the Talking Books. When : you give to serve the blind, Mr. Henniker advised, give to the only organization (Canada- wide) equipped to serve them ��� The Canadian National Institute for the Blind. Thirty-two days of unremitting care and attention by faculty and staff, of St. Mary's Hospital failed to preserve the life of the hospital's tiniest occupant. On Monday of last week the infant child of Mr. and Mrs*. George August, of Sechelt died. Born at Sechelt on Aug. 6, the mite weighed only 2 lbs. 15 oz. on admission. Placed immediately in an incubator, the baby was introduced to bottle- feeding, with gratifying response. Oxygen was administered occasionally, which, according to administrator Bill Milligan the baby took to as easily as it had mastered the bottle feeding. Dr. Alan Swan was the attending physician. He, together with the matron and nurses, regarded as a challenge the preservation of the child's life, but despite every care, death intervened. Work party BJ>fJ ?"��!! r a TTirct fall mrapt.-inc** nf Ciihso repairs steps Granthams Landing Property Owners Association held a work party on Sunday Sept. 13 to replace the old wooden porch and stairs on the Community hall with new concrete ones.

First fall meeting of Gibsons and Area Board of Trade will be held Monday night, Sept. 21, at 7 p.m. in Danny's Dining room on Sechelt Highway. This will be the opening meeting of the season and it is expected there will be a considerable amount of correspondence to be mulled over and decisions made. The dinner meeting will start at 7 p.m. Walt. Nygren is president and Mrs. Wynn Stewart, secretary. Members will be phoned to acquaint them with the fact the meeting will be Monday night. usinessmen B not to blame Abuse of public conveniences gives businessmen good reason for keeping the public away from their conveniences, Barry MacDonald, provincial sanitarian for this area implied when addressing. Gibsons and Area Ratepayers' Association Monday night. The meeting was held in the United Church hall with 25 persons present. Mr. MacDonald actually . said the public tear apart public conveniences ! and he did not blame business*- men for keeping the public away from their toilet facilities. Considerable discussion centred on the conditions on the wharf which he said he had drawn to the attention of the proper authorities. Mr. MacDonald, whose territory extends from Lilloet to Jervis Inlet, taking in Pembina Squamish, Gibsons and Sechelt as well as points between, dwelt on the work-of sanitarians, which he preferred to be called instead of a sanitary officer Referring to damage caused by some of tlie public he told of visiting Bowen Island installations for the public and said he found them a shambles and it was disheartening to see what damage had been done. Mr. MacDonlad outlined his duties and told of some of the situations in which he found himself, having to operate in the best interest of the conditions, available wherever and whatever they were. Chairman Wes Hodgson commenting on the fact the name of the association had been changed without notice of motion asked that the previous minute covering this point be expunged and that a proper notice of motion be introduced. The change as the dropping of "and Area" from the title Gibsons and Area Ratepayers' Association. The area concerned, the Headlands is now part of Gibsons. MAX FERGUSON has to be careful not to forget his schedule. Once known only for his Rawhide skits on CBC radio, he's now active in Toronto television. Though not heard on the full network, he has a daily TV interview program and appears as a guest on many other shows GARDEN CLUB Gibsons Garden club expects to have another treat in store for those who attend the Sept. 22 meeting in Gibsons United Church hall at 8 p.m. The speaker will be an old friend of the club in the person of Mr. Tarrant of Vancouver who is retired but has not retired from gardening in which he has wide experience. SHREDS OF WIT Trouble that looks like a mountain from a distance, usually is only a hill when you* get to it. Temptation may be strong, but it seldom overtakes the man who runs from it. Some people thing that the easiest way to make a mountain out of a molehill is to add a little dirt. Petty crime is increasing in Gibsons area and RCMP warn the populace to take greater precautions in securing their property so as to avoid breakins and thefts. Recent break-ins have included Super-Valu store where S150 in cash was stolen; Ken Watson's Meat Market where in two breakins the robbers got $100 in cash and $25 in cigarettes the second time and the Mariner Cafe where $10 was stolen. RCMP caution all residents of the area that the days when they could leave their doors unlocked to go and visit a neighbor have gone and it would be wise for them not only to keep their house protected but to also keep their tool sheds and other sheds under lock and key. Businessmen are also urged to take greater care in the protection of their property and where possible have a light on so a wide area can be exposed to any movement which might occur. Owners of cars are also urged by police to see that their cars are locked overnight and that the means for stealing gasoline from tanks is reduced to a minimum. Leaving articles in cars overnight is not regarded by police as being a good thing because of temptation implied. Zone meeting A quarterly meeting of Elphinstone Peninsula zone, Canadian Legion will be held Saturday iri Gibsons Legion hall. It is expected about 60 persons will attend from Texada, Powell River, Pender Harbour, Sechelt and Gibsons. There will be a luncheon served at 1 p.m. by the Gibsons Legion Auxiliary with the general meeting to follow at 2.15 p.m. It is expected general business only will be under discussion. One of the highlights of the meeting will be a display of Second World War photographs which are being prepared for view by Ron Haig, zone commander. These pictures are out standing because of their quality and because many of them were shot right in battle areas. To those veterans of the Second War some scenes they well remember will be on exhibit. From January 1 to August SI this year slightly more than three-quarters of a million dollars has been spent on new construction along the Sunshine Coast both residential and commercial. It is expected, based on last year's total figure of $935,278, that this year's figure will pass the million dollar mark by Dec. 31. This year's figure at Work police H Q Work has started on the Gibsons detachment RCMP headquarters. The contract for $39,085 was awarded to Imperial Builders Limited of Burnaby B.C. the minister of public works Hon. David J. Walker has announced. Tne company submitted the lowest bid on the project in response to the department's advertising for public tenders. Specified completion date is February 1960. The new two-storey building with attached one-car garage ���will face northeast on School road and will be of wood frame construction with exterior finish of wood siding. Livng quarters wll consist of Iving room, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and one bathroom for married personnel and one bedroom with bathroom for single personnel. Floors in living, dining and bedrooms will be of hardwood. Bathroom floors will be covered with ceramic tile, and a glazed tile dado will line the wall. Work areas will consist of an office cell-room, exhibit room and storage room, with interior/-wall finish of. painted, gypsum board and linoleum covered floors. The garage will contain adequate storage space and a hot water heating system with oil burning furnace will be provided. Plans and specifications were prepared by the building construction branch of the department, of public works and the project will be under supervision of the district architect, Vancouver, R.J. Bickford. the end of August was just $158,675 short of last year's total. These figures, tabulated from official sources in the villages of Gibsons and Se- chel and on the spot estimates by B.C. Electric employees, cover the area from Port Mellon to Jervis Inlet. Since B.C. Electric started gathering these figures in May of 1957 close to two millions of dollars have been put into construction, mainly new. This shows steady growth and means that more merchandise has been moved to enable such construction and more will be moved as the new buildings are inhabited or put to some commercial use. The larger part of the two millions of dollars has gone into the construction of new homes. While the figure of about 200 new homes in the area sice May 1957 is not strictly accurate it is regarded by those who have made the estimates to be close enough. For the eight months, May to December, reported in 1957 the total construction figure was $209,400. For the same months in 1958 the total was $448,400, which was more than double the same period of the previous year. This year's figure from May to December based on the present rate- should be close to doubling the 1958 eight month figure which would put it in the $800,000 bracket. All this points to increasing, business in the area as the villages and the unorganized areas grow. True, some homes are for summer residents only. but in the main the majority will be occupied by permanent' residents. So far this year Gibsons has . the edge on Sechelt .with the construction how underway' totalling $120,903. The Sechelt figure for the same period is $26,200. Last year Sechelt was ahead of Gibsons in the amount of new construction. Ritchey takes D awe s place pi< Mill operating at Port Mellon Port Mellon's Canadan Forest Products pulp mill expects to be in full operation by Thursday noon. This was announced by company officials Monday who reported at tlie same time they had started recalling all employees. It is expected the production of pulp will be going ahead at approximately Thursday noon. In the meantime employees on the various steps leading to the manufacture of pulp for the huge machine which produces the finished product are back at work preparing sufficient supplies to keep the machine in operation. The mill was forced to close clown due to the IWA strike drying up sources of chip sup- Ply- nre insurance rates are cut Fire insurance rates for Gibsons village have been revised downwards as the result of a survey made by British Columbia Underwriters Association. Recent insurance rates were in September of last year $8 per thousand of insurance. On Jan. 1 this was raised to $10 per thousand. As the result of the survey the present rate for Gibsons will be $7.50 per thousand insurance. The survey found that Gibsons had improved water pressure and had much better fire protection services which also showed up in better fire prevention standards throughout the village. R.C. Ritchey of Gibsons, see- i etary-treasurer of the Gibsone- Sechelt Airport Management- committee was named as alternate delegate to the B.C Aviation Council convention due to the illness of Capt. Samuel Dawe who had previously been appointed by the Sechelt Village Council. This convention is at Harrison Hot Springs Sept. 16 to 18. The Sechelt Village Council also named Mrs. Christine Johnston, chairman of the council and Commissioner HL B. Gordon as delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities Convention now underway at Kelowna. An application for a building permit by John Toynbee was not granted, owing to the fact the subdivision plans relating to the property had not received registration and final approval through the Land Registry office. c irJer.t Concert plans A meeting of Overture Concerts executive will be held Thursday evening at 8 o'clock in the Coast News office for the purpose of organizing for the coming season. Following three successful seasons of concerts in the area, the executive hopes to be able to get a line on some high class concert material for this season's concerts. This meeting has been called by Les Hempsall the president. ar acci Pat Englehart of Wilson Creek was injured in a car accident at Tyson road and Sechelt Highway. The accident occurred about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday as a vehicle driven by Cliff Oviatt of Gibsons was turning into Tyson road. Englehart who was coming from the direction of Gibsons swerved to miss Oviatt's car. Engle- hart's car turned over and is badly damaged. Dr. W.N. McKee was called and he sent Englehart to St. Mary's Hospital in the Sechelt Volunteer Fire Departmen ambulance. OAP meeting The Old Age Pensioner Organization reminds their members that the next meeting will take place at the Kinsmen club on Monday, Sept. 21. In view of the fact no meetings have been held for July or August, a large attendance is anticipated. In addition to other matters dealt with by the executive which met last Monday afternoon, it was pointed out that there are now 92 members in the organization. The 1959 Canadian construction boom is reflected in the record sales of the clay products industry which last year amounted to $41,700,000, an all-time high. FOUR-CORNER BINGO Nights are drawing in again and the lure of four corners is taking hold again. The four corners are contained on little cards dealt out at Thursday night's Bingo in the School Hall. Prize for having the four corners is $50 and the number of calls is increasing so someone must win soon. Coast News, Sept. 17, 1959.

Some steam let off Meetings similar to the one held last week at Sechelt when Black Ball Ferries service was discussed are a means of letting off steam. Some 25 or more representative people from Powell River to Port Mellon attended the meeting and for the most part were not too vehement in the presentation of questions or arguments. At the same time it gave management a glimpse into the thinking of the populace regarding the ferry service while representatives of the Sunshine Coast learned something of the problems of management. Who won in last Thursday'�� get-together is not a point at issue because neither side reached the point where it was debate of momentous decision. What did matter was that both sides were able to talk over problems and see points of view. It is true not everyone left the meeting satisfied his or her personal problem had been solved and neither did Black Ball officials feel they had solved anything except to find out the strength of the protests. Nevertheless the meeting which was called by Magistrate .Johnston as chairman of the Sechelt Board of Trade transportation committee gave both sides a chance to air feelings and beyond outlining a few improvements of a minor nature the meeting could be termed one in which some matters were explored without decisions being reached. How do we defend Freedom? Remarks by Mr. Justice J.T. Thorson covering Bill 43, ihe British Columbia legislation reputed to be aimed at crippling labor unions, raise a point which perhaps Mr. Justice Thorson "himself can answer. During he Bar association meeting in Vancouver, where lawyers convened to mull over their problems, Mr, Justice Thorson, who heads the Exchequer court in Ottawa said: "There is no doubt that a threat to the freedom of association is implied in the.. . legislation. Mr. Justice Thorson has had many years of legal quib- blings as head of a federal court. He ha�� a point but not the whole point. Selecting say some Birdwatchers association as a culprit, what does one do when that Birdwatcher association decides to take the bit between its teeth and abuse a freedom under which everyone lives. How do we bring to a reasonable frame of ���mind the recalcitrant birdwatchers? How do we preserve the freedoms we have? Do we leave them unprotected? Do we leave them so those who desire to kick over the traces can do so with impunity? Are the freedoms worth defending? The learned judge may have a point but the freedoms are not so free that abuses can be used to advantage by one section. The freedoms apparently exist in the area midway between abuse and lethargy. Therefora our freedoms should rate protection within the legal framework, even from threats. Let your light so shine ��� ��� ��� ��� Lack of publicity has led to a misconception which could bave been avoided if word had been spread at the right time. From the current issue of the Port Mellon Thunderbird one can reafi. the following: "There have recently been several reports* which might give the impression that the Kinsmen Club of Gibsons was the sole sponsor of swimming classes at Gibsons and Port Mellon. We ���wish to point out that the classes are a joint venture. The Port Mellon Community association and the Gibsons Kinsmen club are both supplying funds for these classes." To most people including the editor and staff of the Coast News this is tlie first intimation the Port Mellon association was* joint sponsor of swimming classes. Better liason all round might have produced better results for the Port Mellon Community association. The Coast News is striving to be fair to all organizations taking part in community enterprises and does not want to favor one over another. So to the Port Mellon Community association some advice: Do not hide your light under a bushel. If you are involved in a community enterprise let the Coast News help you. Fifty years ago the popular Canadian novelist, Ralph Connor, wrote: "In Western Canada there is to be seen today that most fascinating of all human phenomena, the making of a nation." This nation was being) formed, he said. "Out of breeds diverse in traditions, in ideals, in speech, and in manner of life, Saxon and Slav, Teuton, Celt and Gaul. . ." This statement , appeared in the preface to Connor's novel The Foreigner which was published in 1909 and which tell? the story of a Russian immigrant and his family in the West. Ralph Connor is but one of many Canadian writers who have been interested in immigrants ��� their struggles in this land, the motives that brought them here, their relations with native-born Canadians, the impact of the new world on them and the part they have playedi and continue to play in building the nation. Some of the writers have been immigrants themselves. Others, like Ralph Connor, have been a generation or more removed from their immigrant ancestors. It is not the purpose of this article, however, to present aa exhaustive survey of the literature on immigrants. The aim is, rather, to show how the immigrant is portrayed and his problems revealed in some of the more outstanding creative works in Canadian literature. Most of the books referred to are fiction. No poetry is included. Many of the early settlers in Nova Scotia were New Engenders and ether Americans who came in the years preceding as well as the years following the American Revolution. Thomas R. Raddall has given us a picture of those days in -The Wedding-Gift and Other Stories. The setting is a seaport town which/ the author calls Oldport and th3 stories concern events in the lives of some of the first settlers of tile town ��� Silas Bradford, the New Englander who founded Oldport in 1759; Colonel Sumter Larrabee, a loyalist from the South who became the leading citizen; .the Larrabee daughters some privateersmen and some Indians of the vicinity. Other early settlers were a group of Yorkshiremen who came to Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, in the 1770's. One of their descendants, Will R. Bird, has written about them in two novels. Here Stays Good Yorkshire is the story of the Crabtree family from their immigration in 1772 through the first critical five years of their life in Canada. The American Revolution erupted during this period and rebels fr*m the American colonies threatened to invade Nova Scotia. This added to the worries and difficulties of getting established in a new land. The author plays up the adventurous side of the settlers' experiences rather than the hardships of pioneering. We see the lusty Crabtree boys competing with each other for land and wives, going hunting with the Indians, and finally defending their families and farms from the invaders who attacked at Fort Cumberland in 1776. "It seemed a diabolical thing that intruders wanted to come and molest people who had never in any way molested them," the author says. "The Yorkshiremen had planted their roots in this new soil and strong growth had begun. They had acquired flocks and herds, houses and barns and implements, built dykes and put in bridges, such a foundation of the future as they would not lightly let go." The invaders, who were poorly organized, were easily beaten off and the Yorkshiremen were left (secure on their farms though not without losses. In the sequel, Tristram's Salvation, the author pursues further the experiences of Tristram Crabtree and his brothers and sisters on their farms. The American Revolution also resulted in the movement of many settlers from south of the border to Upper Canada, now Ontario. These loyalists were not all of British origin. Prominent among them were the German Mennonites, sometimes called Pennsylvania Dutch, who began migrating to Canada at the turn of the century. Their story has been sympathetically told in The Trail of the Conestoga by Mabel Dunham. According to this novel (which is based on historical facts) the Mennonites were afraid that the new American government would not honor the pledge of exemption from military service that the British government had made. "Canada was the magic word. . . There the shackles of slaves were broken, and there men might live unmolested according to the dictates of their consciences," the Mennonites be- lieved. In 1802 young Sam Bricker with his brother John, John's wife and four children made the long tedious journey from Pennsylvania to Upper Canada. They came in two conestogas���covered- wagons that were drawn, by "two span of heavy draught horses"��� making the dangerous crossing cf the Niagara River and proceeding to the Heasley Tract where two or three Mennonite families had gone before and which later became part of Waterloo County. The Brickers were followed by other Mennonites ��� Benjamin, Eby, the Erbs, Schneiders, Betz- ners and other families whose names are familiar in that part of Ontario. The novel tells of the hardships experienced by the settlers ��� facing starvation the first winter, having to go 25 miles to the nearest mill to get their wheat ground, fighting forest fires that threatened to wipe out their homes, and finally being pressed into service to haul provisions for the army in the War of 1812. These difficulties, however, did not discourage the Mennonites who were sustained by their religious beliefs and united in brotherhood. In a few years they were firmly established on their farms and had founded Eby- town ��� the village settlement that later became Kitchener. Many of the British settlers who came to Canada in early days belonged to military families. Such a one was J. W. Dunbar Moodie whose wife Susanna recorded their experiences so vividly in Roughing it in the Bush. Mr. Mocdie was a younger son and a lieutenant who had been retired from the British army. He had, therefore, says Mrs. Moodie "determined to try his fortune in Canada, and settle upon the grant of 400 acres of land ceded by the Government to officers upon half-pay." They landed in Canada in 1832 and proceeded to a farm north of Cobourg, Ontario Later they moved farther north to a backwoods farm in the Peterborough area. The Moodies experienced very hard times which were aggravated by their lack of fitness for the pioneering task. Mr. Moodie apparently never farmed before and Susanna had been used to the lif e of a gentlewoman. Nevertheless she learned to work in the fields and to milk cows. Sometimes the family was; short of food. "The cows had net calved," she writes of the summer of 1837 when her second (Coniinued on Page 7) Robert D. Wright, N.D.

Access roads to beache also present a problem to those who yearn for a slight bit of solitude for themselves and their families on that Sunday picnic. Access roads, or roads not privately owned, are sometimes hard to come by although a government ruling stipulates thai access roads in any subdivided area must be provided to the beach at a distance of every ten chains ��� which is 660 feet or 220 yards. And although the access roads are sometime fenced in by residents seeking complete privacy, they are still there. Any roads rvvnning to the beach through Coast News, Sept. 17, 1959. 3 new subdivisions are access roads and are open to the public, although old subdivision roads to the beach are quite often hard to recognize.

Father is the photographer ��� with mother and baby brother well back behind him. For this is a highlight of a "camping out" holiday, so carefully planned that expenditures didn't exceed the sum of money set aside for it. The budget of the Minister of Northern Affairs and National Resources at Ottawa covers a number of departmental branches. Among these are National Parks, Water Resources, Forestry, and Northern Administration and Lands. His expenditures involve millions of dollars. Money for all departments of government comes through the Minister of Finance who gets it largely in taxes from Canadians such as you. When more money is spent than is collected in taxes, government must borrow from you ... or else create new money. The creation of new money is one factor that leads to inflation . . . which means your dollar buys less and less. The government has been spending more than you have been paying in taxes. To narrow the gap between income and expenditures, new taxes have been imposed. The next step should be to reduce expenditures, or at; least hold the line. Undertaking new commitments ��� adding new welfare or other services ��� will only make it that much more difficult to pay our way. Tell your M.P. at Ottawa that since you are trying to save, you expect government to do the same. You also help when you save more by means of life insurance, savings deposits, and the purchase of government bonds. Your savings help to create a SOUND dollar; and this, in turn, helps to create job security for you and more jobs for other Canadians.

Stone Villa on Pratt road has become quite a spot to visit now that the area is becoming settled with pensioners. Two years ago Oscar Olsen explained to Alek Simpkins how homes were built from firewood in Sweden, a practice which has been going on for the last three or four hundred years. Mr. Simpkins, who has been building homes for pensioners decided to build one. Stove length chopped chunks of tree wood are laid in beds of concrete and then both sides are plastered with cement outside and plaster inside, making a thick wall which keeps out. cold and heat. Such walls, Mr. Simpkins says, are fireproof, warm, cheap and quick to put up and the home so far built is an asset to Stone Villa, an area which Mr. Simpkins is developing for pensioners. Frank Lyle is occupying the firewood house on a lifetime lease and appears to be quite happy about his home. A well driller has moved to Stone Villa and is at work in the area. He has drilled a well producing plenty of water at 51 feet on the Gower Point Eoad and is now drilling near Super-Valu Store. A. Rowell and N. Burton have purchased lots, built their houses and have their TV antennas hooked up so they can enjoy life in their new homes on which they pay only $1 a year in taxes to Mr. Simpkins.

Paulin said that on 14 round trips daily there were 1,260 spots available for vehicular traffic. Records showed that during July 53.4 percent of capacity and on weekends 56.7 percent of capacity was utilized. The problem was, he explained, that the ferries cannot carry all if they want to get on the ferries at the same time. This applied to all ferry services, he said. Congestion on roads led to congestion on ferries and the company could not afford to keep a ship standing by for overload occasions and further at we�� not possible to obtain extra vessels for weekends. Next he discussed overcrowd ing so people could not get out of their cars. The company tried to avoid it and complied with regulations but human fallibility leads to complications in the placing of cars and the human fallibility was not always confined to the ship's crew. Main complaint was about the Smokwa which was supposed to carry small cars only on the outside lanes but ether cars got in. The desire for radio and TV was not general, he implied, by commenting on the point that some people objected to the loudness of car radios while aboard the ferry. It is difficult to please everybody, he said. Fare tariffs Col. Paulin said had not increased in the past eight years in spite of the fact there had been quite heavy increases in costs. Black Ball was the only water transportation company that had not increased rates. From the floor it was explained that at the time the ferries started it was stated the tariffs were set high so that as the service grew there would be a reduction. Col. Paulin reiterated it could not be done now owing to high costs during a period of inflation. As regards commuter tickets he said they were available as noted on the Black Ball Ferries printed schedules. There were at present two commuter tickets in use. The point about there being no announcements regarding delays, he admitted was true but it was not the fault of the company because those in charge of operations at points of delay were informed of the trouble and they should have passed on the information. He said this would be corrected as soon as possible. Concluding his examination of complaints, Col. Paulin said Printed Pattern BOX 197 Phones STORE 339 - RESIDENCE 105Y Back-to-school wardrobe in one pattern! For sister���pleat-pretty skirt, shirt and jacket.

"We are not asleep at the switch and are ever mindful of the situation and will develop it as soon as possible," he added. Replying to a question asking why one of the Nanaimo ferries could not be used on the Langdale run after the government ferry service started to Vancouver Island, Col. Paulin said he did not think the advent of the new service would have any effect on the Nanaimo run which was growing at a fast pace. Close scheduling of some ferries creating long waits between drew a suggestion from the floor that the situation should be improved. The answer was that including Bowen Island in the schedule forced close scheduling at certain periods. The problem of trucks arriving later that half-an-hour before ferry time was raised by one trucker and the reply wa�� that three types of traffic were handled, private cars, walking passengers and commercial vehicles and each must be treated fairly. It was understood that trucks operated on schedules but regulation was made difficult when a truck was late. Possibility of a standard sum mer and winter schedule was brought up and it was explained that with the double slip now operating at Horseshoe Bay this might be possible. Changes were made in the past as improvements were added. Questions regarding a reservation system for cars were not received enthusiastically by either Black Ball official present who declared such a system would not work. Magistrate Johnston was of the opinion it would work and suggested that as president of the company, Col. Paulin should see that something be done about it. One speaker thought the way Black Ball was operating was Ming Tackle Commercial and Sports Hardware���Dry Goods BAPCO PAINT Interior & Marine 6 Coast News, Sept. 17, 1959. keeping people away from the Sunshine Coast. Dirty conditions on the boats were also mentioned. Another suggested there should be some regulation of the times trucks used the ferries to allow more room for private cars at specified times. Boats behind cars occupying car space were criticized but Col. Paulin said a first- come-first-served policy would be continued. A communication from Gibsons Ratepayers Association was tabled to be included in the minutes. In closing Magistrate John ston declared the entire economy of the Sunshine Coast area was dependent a great deal on Black Ball service. It was the squeaky wheel which got the grease and "that is why you are hearing from us," he told Col. Paulin. Replying Col. Paulin said he was grateful at having the opportunity of listening to the complaints and also the helpful suggestions some of which can be used. "We'll do the best we can. It is in the interest of the community that we do so. The more this area grows, the better it will be for Black Ball," Col. Paulin added.

The medical team then went into action and in succession their registration forms were located (usually difficult because Eskimos are so migratory); x- rays taken for T.B.; immunization injections, medical checkup and dental survey with emergency treatment. By the time they were through, tJLeir x-rays are ready and a medical diagnosis made. If it is found any have T.B. or other serious illness the welfare people take over to organize evacuation. We were happy, however, that there were no evacuees from this place. This, annual trip over the last 25 years has reduced the incidence of T.B., decreased the infant and maternal mortality and turned the Eskimo from a declining to an increasing population. For this I am personally very happy. I have travelled in many lands but nowhere have I met a people whose honest sincere ty I admire more. Two of the patients were those delightful inseparables, a young mother and her two-month old baby carried in a parka. Either sleeping of feeding from mom or the handling when given her first shots the baby was a delightful patient. I passed her teeth as OK. But ��� and here is the lesson ��� these people, there were 10 of them from two months to 45 years old, had in one year grown only one new cavity and five of them were from five to 12 years old, the age group which in Sechelt has so many cavities. No candy, cake, pop, cookies, soft drinks or soft diet ��� just tough meat, rough meal and vegetables and those relatively raw. We were forced to hurry the last part of the survey as we got word from the bridge the wind had changed, blowing ice floes across our course. So we bade farewell to our patients in rather short time. We ihad a slow passage through pack ice to Wakeham Bay and due to ice conditions were unable to reach Koartak. Wake- ham Bay was reached on July 6 at 9.15 p.m. after a beautifully clear day. The sky was blue but there was ice as far as one could see, so it was cold. We passed many seals sunning on ice floes. The medical survey team, of which I am part, went to work at 10 p.m. Eskimos were brought to the C. D. Howe by helicopter from outlying camps, the nearer ones by landing barge. The northern lattitude made it all possible since there is no darkness at this time of year, just a couple of hours of twilight. We had to. quit at 4 a.m. as a rising wind made helicopter operations dangerous. We slept a couple of hours and after breakfast at 7 a.m. were at work again until 2 p.m. by which time only a few outlying families had not gone through the survey. To give an indication of their excellent teeth, treatment after a full year without a dentist, for 106 people, there were 14 extractions and six fillings. The remaining Eskimos were located and brought in by helicopter between 6 and 11 p.m. I was here in 1955 on a different survey but it was gratifying to receive so warm a welcome from many Eskimos for whom I had done dentistry on that occasion. Handshaking is a great thing with these people and they certainly can shake your handl By the time we had entered up the records and put the surgeries in order we sailed after 29 hours stay with only two of them in bed.

Bat in spite of all their hardships, Mrs. Moodie regretted leaving her backwoods home. "I loved the lonely lake, with its magnificent belt of dark pines sighing in the breeze; the cedar swamp, the summerhome of my dark Indian friends; my own dear little garden, with its rugged snake-fence which I helped Jenny to place with my own hands . . . and where I had so often braved the tormenting mosquitoes, black flies, and intense heat, to provide vegetables for the use of the family." In contrast to this true story of hardship, the fictional White- oaks of the Jalna series of novels by Maze De la Roche, prospered on an Ontario farm and established a family mansion of vivid reality to the devoted readers of the series. The Building of Jalna tells how Captain Philip White oak and his Irish-born wife, Adeline, tiring of their life in India where Philip was stationed, decided to emigrate to Quebec. They did so in 1S51 but found the winter long and hard. An army friend of Philip's had gone to southern Ontario and they resolved to follow him. The Whiteoaks took up land near Lake Ontario, west of Toronto. They built a huge red, brick house -which they called Jalna after the place in India where they had lived. Thus was founded the Whiteoak family and home of Canadian literary fame. . While The Building of Jalna is highly romantic it is permeated by the spirit of early Canada ��� the keen enjoyment of simple pleasures such as skating on the lake, a picnic on the beach, riding, visiting the neighbors. Even the plans for the house that was to be a bit of old England were inevitably adapted to suit tha climate, the feeling of space, and the pioneer way of life.
