Tony Gargrave, member for this district, told Mr. Gaglardi that conditions were s�� bad on the gravel stretches of these highways that in one case the school bus could not operate, and in another patients had to be transported by boat to hospital because road conditions were so bad. He told the minister the secretary of the school board at Powell River had wired him complaining of the muddy conditions on the Lund hi^b- way: which-pr a display room.

Its effect would be to make it a criminal offence to dump garbage on Crown lands and* allow arrest without warrant py any policeman with ��� a fine ranging from $25 to $300 if found gu2_ry. ���Crown lands means highways, too.��� But why limit this to Crown lands only? Public attitude towards garbage disposal in British Columbia may. probably be the -worst in all Canada. So long as it can be removed from one's premises who cares where it rests? There is too much open territory on which garbage can be thrown and left to the Secer-sp such worthy sons as James and John in the brae environment that spawned Judas Iscariot? It is clearly the duty of parents to inculcate in their children principles of self-respect, trustworthiness, justice, good judgement and the ability to use it, and respect and consideration for others. But that training should be^jn even in pre-school years. If it is neglected till the teen-age years, the influence and example- of parents is sometimes too little and too late. In that case it is equally clearly the duty of school, church and society to supplement the efforts of parents rather than foolishly to berate parents for their apparent failure. " There seems to be an unfortunate confusion in the minds of some people between teenagers and delinquents. Delinquents are ex-teenagers, physically mature but mentally juvenile if not infantile, who have ignored or repudiated all influences that might have helped them to . become upstanding citizens.; They just don't know the score. But. even they should not,be too' discouraged. They have long years ahead of them though it may be later than they think to make the best use of them. The most significant and potent influence on .the Sunshine Coast could be, not the bigget newsprint mill in the world nor the longest overhead power-line crossing but the still small voice *of the tiny hew library.

THROW IT THE GOLDEN CHAIN There is a golden chain of good-natured decent people in the world who find their chief happiness in making others happy, A distinguished man retired from political life in Britain said: "I have found the world chuck full of kindness; when I think of it all it makes me very humble." When people talk like this, it reflects their own gracious spirit; only, a kind man senses of kindness of others for the world is "like a mirror and what we see depends upon ourselves. When Thomas Carlyle said the world was full of fools, he was feeling bitter, but it was not a true picture of himself for in the main he had excellent qualities. One.thing seems clear to me as I grow older; the more we believe in the downright decency of-people, the more we increase our own happiness and add to the sum total of the good-will in the world. We pass through this world but once and it is a great privilege to share the burdens of others. One rainy night in East London a friend of mine was. on a crowded street-car. He had been standing all the journey, but when he got off he said to me: "Aren't tbey a grand lot, so full of fun and good nature?" A boy living in the south cf England, whose parents had died, was thrown upon his own recourses very early in life. He was told that if he could make his way to London he would find employment. So he decided to go by boat, at that time the cheapest way to travel. A man on board noticed that the lad did not appear at mealtimes. He got into conversation with him, and when he found out that be could' not afford meals, he bought them for him. The boy was extremely grateful, and when the time came to part, he asked the man if there was anytthing. he could do to repay him. .��� .... "There is brie tiling you can do", was the reply, ' "and if you promise to do it, I shall be fully repaid for any little thing I have done for you. This is a difficult world for ;some people, and many are having a hard time. Will you pass on .the kindness I have shown you to somebody else? That is all I ask." Many years afterwards this boy . became influential and was able to help his benefactor's son, who was in great difficulty. It gave him great pleasure to do this, for one of the mottoes of his life had become: "Pass it on." A wise and good man said: "I see two great heaps in this world ��� one of human happiness and the other of human misery. If it is possible for me to take the smallest bit from the heap of misery and add it to the other, I shall be happy. If, for instance, I find a child who has lost a cent, and by giving him another I can wipe , away his tears, I have done something." Newspapers recently carried a story of a youth who lived near a dangerous canal and had saved 18 lives. He . was decorated with a medal and given potb- ���-' lie recognition. He deserved ii^ for such interest in the welfare of others is wcnderfuL But the number of people who have such physical strength and opportunities is not large. In the larger sphere of ordinary life hardly a day goes by that does not afford an opportunity cf passing on some, kindness to another. When the disciples asked Jesus who was greatest in the kingdom, of heaven, he said: "He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant." Our quotation to-day is W. Wordsworth. The chief portion of a good man's life ��� Ms unremembered acts of kindness and cf love.

Sechelt Loggers' association presented a further brief to the Slcan Royal .Commission 1 on forestry problems recently and this additional brief supported the use of the Ontario. Crown timber sales method, as giving the loggers ��� a better break. The brief was presented by Alex Lamb, president of the association. Here it is. Mr. Commissioner; On behalf of the Sechelt Forest Loggers Association, T am pleased t0 attend again before you to express the opinion of this association on the question of Forest Administration in the Province of Ontario, more particularly set forth in a report to ihe Crown Commission on Forest in British Columbia 1955 on the management of Forest Lands in eastern Canada by J. Miles Gibson, B.ScF., D.Sc, L.R. Seheult, M.ScF., being Exibit 144 before this Commission. 1. Departmental Management Units: This system we submit is similar in effect to the suggestion which we made before this Commission in the brief presented to you on September 1st 1955, marked Exhibit 149. We veiw the establishment of Departmental Management Units with favor and it is our submission that the establishment of such a system in British Columbia V together with granting more authority to thes Forester in the field would be of great advantage to the logging industry as a whole. 2. Advisory committee to the Minister:. Again we are of the view that the .establishment of such an Advisory Committee is desirable. We feel that such a Committee would be of advantage in affording to the Minister of Lands and Forests a much better opportunity to become acquainted with and understand the problems of the Forest Industry. It is our submission that consideration should be given to the establishment of a Board of Review quite independent of the Forest Service which, wiculd adjust any differences between the operators and the Forest Service. - V 3 Methods of Disposal of Crown Timber: One of the most interesting features of the Ontario Forest policy to the Sechelt Forest Loggers Association is the policy of offering Crown Timber for sale in that Province as more particularly set forth on pages 23, 24 and .25 of Exhibit 144. We feel that such a policy gives the established operator a reasonable measure of protection in the over-cut and balanced units. We feel that the establishment of such a policy in British Columbia is a nece's sity in many coastal forest areas and certainly in the Sechelt Forest District. We would like to add the opinion that a person bidding at an auction of timber cutting rights should be a Canadian citizen 0r a Canadian tax paying eorportion. 4.; Multiple Cutting Rights for Crown Timber: We note from Exhibit 144 that in Ontario a practice has been es- NOW Has the Agency for EVINRU DEMO TORS - Come in and price the Model you Need TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR FftEE DELIVERY on FRANCES PENINSULA or MADEIRA PARK Areas. on orders of $5 or Over MURDOCH" Phone 3F MARINE Pender SUPPLY Harbour ROYAL TV AMTENNAp ��� ��� ������ ��� ��- _> Installation Crews on Peninsula once weekly ���".���'��� TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LOW PRICES NOW . 20 ft. ,2-9. element Hi-Gain Yagis, plus a Channel Z Head completely installed $65 30 ft Same Installation $79.50 40. ft Same Installation $94.50 No Down Payment Necessary Phone collect EL6919 or write 5616 Victoria Drive Vancouver UNICN RED & WHITE STORE The- Largest Pood Store on the Peninsula With the Widest Variety Phone Sechelt 18 FOR FREE DELIVERY GROCERY SPECIALS: THURS.

On Friday night at 8 p.m. in the High -School Gym the Cougars and the Orphans tangle again, probably for the 1st time this season. These two teams always give the fans a good show and it is also a chance for the fans that haven't > seen the Cougars in action to see them before the plawoffs. It will also be the last chance of the season to see the Orphans who have more than proved themselves against some of Vancouvers best commercial teams. So come on out and support the boys. They deserve it. One of the more valuable things that is accomplished by sports is the publicity that the Peninsula has gained by having winning basketball teams traveling around the country. The Mid-Peninsula Softball League meeting scheduled for last Sunday has been re-scheduled for this Sunday at Wilson Creek hall at 2 p.m. Be sure your team representatives are there. ���;. m^^fi* The Inside of Your House with CILTONE 168 Colors ODORLESS ALKYD in GLOSS, SEMI-GLOSS and FLAT _���-._-.-.-_. _. ���m 11 i ,ii i -, , For Kitchen Cupboards and Bathrooms thai -will get Year* ��f Washing, use CI LUX Enamel SPEED-EASY SATIN (Rubber-Base Paint) is a Treat in &tofe for. anyone who has never used it. _ VARNISHES, STAINS Painters' Accessories Kiwanis notes On Feb. 22 at Sechelt Bowling Alleys^ Chops Mops trimmed the Kiwanis Club -byi 10 points. The Mops racked up 2712, and the Kiwanis 2702. After the walkaway the Kiwanis had with. ihe baseball game last summer, it appears that the men were just being gentlemen, that is after they had used every sneak attack they could think of. When the truth does come to light it will have to be admitted that the Kiwanians just didn't have the necessary skill to. .beat the girls, . Daisy Bailey had the top score^ of 382 and Hany Reichelt was numer up with 364. Second for the girl*, was Doreen. Crosby with 330 with Jim Stewart second for the men with: 345. The defeat for the Kiwanis Club can be laid at the feet of -Wild Bill Skel- lett and Oil Man Herrin, Their heckling was as clever as the girls were with bowling.
