'��� The policy announcement '��� authorized by the directors of the Canadian Confederation Centennial Committee of British Columbia, is being drawn to the attention of. Centennial Committees in all British Columbia communities. Deputy Provincial Secretary L. J. Wallace, who is also the provincial Centennial chairman, expressed concern that some groups may devote a great deal of time and effort to the planning of a project only to find that it cannot qualify for all of the provincial aid they had anticipated. Specifically, Mr. Wallace mentioned " senior citizens' housing, chronic hospitals, nursing homes, schools and community colleges, as some that might not be eligible for a provincial Centennial grant. A park project receiving financial aid from the department of recreation and conservation^ also would not qualify for a - Centennial grant. (Brothers Memorial park, - a provincial park and eligible for grants, is now regarded ineligible t for # Centennial grants), "It should be clearly understood," Mr. Wallace said, "that a community is not being discouraged from undertaking a project of this nature as its permanent corrimemoration of the* Centennial year, if it so wishes, but, no 'project can qualify for more than-, one provincial government grant." "In planning the celebration' of our 100th birthday, it has been; the hope of both the national and provincial administrations thht local' communities, in -the' selection of their projects, would seek an undertaking that is out of the ordinary and which would, not otherwise be readily attainable for that- community by- other provincial grants." "We hope that they will not look on the availability of Centennial grants as an opportunity for prb'ceeding with a project that would be constructed in due course anyway." June meeting planned The meeting of Sunshine Coast Centennial committee chairmen in Hospital ' Cottage/ Wed., March 24, decided to hold another joint meeting of chairmen on June 9 with lication details to be settled closer to that date. Official representatives present, from the ,vgrious .committees were: Port'Mellon, Frank jWmtiJ. 'Gibsons rural,, rl^s.' D.. 'Wortman; Roberts Creek," J. R.r McSavaney; Redrooffs, Canon Greene; Selma Park, Mr. B. Duval (unofficial); Sechelt, Mrs. A. Dawe; Barry Creighton, Pender Harbor and Phil Lawrence, area recreation director who sat in as an observer. Towards the close of the meeting a motion as passed unanimously calling for a public meeting to be held in the fall to discuss development of homes for senior citizens. Areas represented were Port Mellon, Gibsons rural, Roberts Creek, Selma Park, Sechelt, Halfmoon Bay, Redrooffs and Pender Harbor including Egmont. ���, ��� As - celebration events the areas reported as. follows: Port .Mellon an expanded Dominion Day celebration. Roberts Creek: To be considered. Redrooffs; Nothing lined up yet., '-,, I Halfmoon Bajr: Will have one. r Perijler,.Harbor: Day long celebration. , Gibsons, rural: Pageant for children, ',' senior function, and general sports^day.

On Centennial projects here iss what the delegated chairman reported:' Port Mellon: Support wholeheartedly Canon Greene's senior citizen project. Roberts Creek: Meeting March: 31 where committees will report on five proposals. Redrooffs: Something related to senior citizen. Pender Harbor: Have seven ideas to be looked into for report in May. Egmont to join, with Pender Harbor. Gibsons Rural: To develop five acres of ground in Brothers Memorial Park. Sechelt: No decision. Library, recreation. centre, dance hall among suggestions. Further meetings planned. Selma Park: No plans so far.. Canon Greene's letter Canon Greene's letter to the meeting reads: Sir, Mr. L. J. Wallace, General Chairman of the British Columbia Confederation Centennial Committee today advised me by telephone that Centennial grants cannot be used for the erection of Senior Citizens' homes. Such a project, he said, must' be undertaken independent of all Centennial projects, and when approved by the Provincial Government will receive a grant of one third of the total cost, provided the area er society undertaking such, contributes 10% of the total cost before making application for the one tbird provincial grant. The above report of my conversation with Mr. Wallace is exactly what Mr. Wallace said to me on the phone, because I submitted it to him to make sure I was quoting him acr curately. He added that there would be a press release to this effect probably this coming Saturday. All my efforts to promote general support of Senior Citizens' homes were based on an early assurance dated Oct. 20/64 from Mr. Wallace that such a project would have the backing of the general confederation Cen-^ tennial committee for British Columbia and the Government of British Columbia. Out of fairness to Mr. Wallace, I am sure that his reversal of earlier statements to me has been due to some ruling' made last week by the Centennial board of which he is our provincial chairman. To understand his ruling, we? must wait till we can read the* press release to which he referred in his telephone conver- ;" satiou/with me. I respectfully submit to this" meeting that we defer any further action in the matter of a' Senior Citizens' home to a date" later in this year, and give all our thoughts and effort to the carrying out of local Centennial projects worthy of the historic significance of the year 1967. In no sense am I withdrawing: my personal concern or enthusiasm for Senior Citizens'" homes. At the appropriate time,. I will give such a project my whole-hearted support. I deeply regret any inconvenience I have caused to various local. Centennial committees through haying stated that the provincial government would accept Senior Citizens' homes as a Centennial project. My statements as I have already said, were were based on correspondence I had with Mr. Wallace. We cannot do/ otherwise than accept the ruling Mr. Wallace has given, and at the appropriate time, again tackle the project I have so earnestly advocated. Faithfully yours, Alan: D.

Freedom with responsibility An editorial from The Canadian Weekly Publisher, official publication of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers association. Untold gallons of printing ink are consumed annually on the subject of the freedom of the press, for the benefit of readers who see reporters and editors as some sort of Lancelot dashing forth to ��ombat the bureaucratic tyrants. Unfortunately, too little thought is sometimes turned on the subject of the responsibilities of the press, including those of the reporters, the photographers and editors. Often the easy way to force -municipal groups from their underground proceedings is to lambaste them editorially and wave ..the flag of freedom of the press. Too seldom, we suspect, do editors and reporters turn their glance inward to see if their own work is the cause of moves to underground lairs for school boards and councils. Unquestionably, municipal groups and those conducting municipal, provincial and federal business, have a responsibility to conduct that business in public with sincerity and integrity. Similarly however, we suggest reporters and editors have some responsibilities too. ^ Incompetent reporters who fail to exercise their powers of observation and utilize their ability to paint in words the intent, as well as the sensational aspects of deliberations, do .their calling a grave disservice'.' Similarly editors should hot be so weighted down with chips on their shoulders that they cannot see wisdom in some moves that are contrary to their pre-conceived opinions. The frustrations that a reporter or editor feels when he meets a closed municipal door can be compared quite reasonably to the frustrations a legislator feels when week after week or day after day, he is convinced the door,to public understanding, through a newspaper is just as, solidly shut in bis facer by poor reporting or ���editing. ,-..,,...,����� There will always be backroom politicians in the small towns as in the cities, who just don't like the spotlight of publicity on their activities. They will always prefer to conduct their efforts privately. But there are also a good many sincere men and women who are prepared to serve their community effectively. When the press finds itself "locked out" by those elected, it shoufld also review its own -work. The responsibilities of the press must be coupled with any freedoms it possesses. There will continue to be abuses of the public's right to know _>y elected officials and it will continue to be the job of the press to oppose such abuses. Such protection comes most effectively from a well-oriented weekly editor who continually keeps his mind on the pulse of local activity so he may competently assess where the problem really lies. > The weeks that are The week April 4 to 10. has been named ^Chamber of Commerce week and Arthritis week. Whichever one you desire to mark ��� possibly both ��� it is your privilege so to do. Both weeks have their good points, the one for the mind and the other for physical comfort. If one belonged to either of the three chamber of commerce in this area, Gibsons, Sechelt or Pender Harbor, it. would be worthwhile if you spoke enthusiastically to others about the work your chamber has in hand. If you have any association with arthritis, do your part to help rrelieve the suffering it causes by financial contribution or by giving arthritis a helping hand. Weeks for this and that are piling up. Someday there will be a log-jam of weeks and we might finish up with the chamber of commerce arthritis week. Who knows? After writing the above along comes National Wild life week, April 14 - 10. Whoopee!! The hope of the world! "And when He (Jesus) was come near, He beheld the city and wept over it, saying. If thou badst known. . Jthe things which belong unto thy peace! but now. .." "If I had only known," the pathos with which these words have so often been spoken, express the regret of a course of action taken which . might have ended so differently, "If I had only known. . .but now." It was hot the people of Jerusalem who with regret said "If we had only known," but Jesus, who looking out over the city wept saying "If thou hadst known the things which belong to thy peace. . .but now." Jerusalem was the pride and joy of every Jew for in it was the Temple, the centre of their faith. If ever a people had the opportunity to jknow on what their peace depend ��ed, it was these chosen people of 'God. Led and fed by the prophets through each generation, -they had the privilege as no ���others to learn that obedience to work he had begun.

The tourist industry t is the "province's fastest growing ' industry - and each , year employs ��� more: and more people. A look at the hotels, motels and other businesses depending largely upon tourists for their survival is proof of the fact. Campbell River, One of the top tourist spots in British Columbia, plays host to thousands of tourists annually. They come here from everywhere to take advantage of our recreational facilities. But like all products, our tourist attractions- must be sold. No longer can we just sit back and wait for the summer stream of tourists which arrive on our doorsteps. Other B.C. communities are fast realizing that tourism means money. This money gives an extra boost to the economy of the area. Mosts B.C. communities, and i especially those on the west coast, are going all out in an efr fort to promote tourism. ' Corky' Corbett, chairman of the chamber of commerce publicity committee and all-round Campbell Rivef booster, has pointed out that while Campbell River is at least one step ahead of other "areas in attracting tourists we cannot afford to rest on past performance alone. He says we must get out and sell Campbell River-to the thousands ��� of visitors who come into our province each year, or we may lose them to other communities who are aggressively in competition with us. Tomorrow the chamber of commerce will be out seeking financial support for Its .annual summer tourist campaign. The chamber has worked out an excellent advertising program to promote tourism in this area. All businessmen know that advertising gets results, but costs money.

Elphinstone chapter, OESy represented Roberts.Creek at the Saturday ceremonies of the Daughters of the Nile in the ballroom of the Vancouver Hotel. The occasion was the installation of Mrs. Duncan T. R. McColl as Queen of Zarah Temple No. 72. Mrs. McColl is also a past matron of Mt. Elphinstone chap- . ter OES, now residing in Vancouver. Visiting over the weekend were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Galliford, Michael and Stevie, of Vancouver, guests of Mrs. J. Galliford. The Roberts Creek hall.was a busy spot on Sunday evening when members of the Tidewater Players club gathered for a regular meeting. Before .and after the business session there was much activity on the stage where dancers, under the supervision of Diane Laird, learned new steps and routines, and choruses were practiced with the "aid of Lucille Meuller and Lottie Campbell. Between calls to the stage there was a great wielding of paint brushes as sets were prepared for the Spring show which, in all likelihood, will take place on April 30 and May 1. Mr. and Mrs. Jonas J. Ritchey, of New Westminster have been guests of- the W. Crockers for the past "week, looking over some property with the idea of purchasing a summer home: Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Perkins, iri Vancouver on a business trip from Berkeley, made a side trip to the Creek. They, also, were looking at property. The latest word from Don Weal who left the Peninsula for the old country more than two years ago on what was to be a year's stay; came from Cyprus, where he-was lolling about on a hot, sunny beach. , He wrote that he was leaving the next day for Beirut. Cubs in city Twenty-eight wide-eyed Cubs spent a wonderful day in Vancouver on March 13. Subsidized by the Group Committee, and driven in private cars by their leaders, Mrs. Cliff Beeman and unofficial instructor, Diana Beeman, of the 1st Roberts Creek Pack and Mr. and Mrs. Ken Anderson of Gibsons B' Pack, the boys were taken to see Mary Poppins, then to Victory Square to share a box lunch with the pigeons. A visit to the museum then delighted and interested the youngsters. It was followed by hot dogs in Stanley Park and a trip through the aquarium. The lads still had strength; to sing all the way home, and to indicate that they would like more ,pi. the same, any time. ''- iM *'���..

WEST One of the signs ' of spring along the Sunshine Coast is that the boats that have.been,a' building' in basements, and garages, even in living rooms, maybe, during the winter, are brought out in to the daylight and given a; final coat of paint ready for the summer. This year something different has been developing in a abasement and has now reached dimensions that can no longer be confined. Although at first sight it looks remarkably like a boat it will be ' ari amphibious seaplane. The first as far as I can ascertaia to.be built here though a similar plane is ��� under construction in Powell River. This little plane will be a modified Volmer-Jensen, and -|s';the_ brain-child" of Mr.' Ron Davie who teaches Maths and Physics at Elphinstone. As of now ,the squat, solid hull of sitka spruce plywood and the delicate framework of the fuselage are-awaiting the first'skin of mahogany plywood, later to be covered -with fibreglass. Eventually the little plane will have an overall length of 24ft., a wihgspan of 36% ft. and with undercarriage extended stand 8 ft. high. It will have a gross weight of 1,500 lbs. able to carry a 500 lb. payload. With her Lycoming 125G engine," *a; converted ground power unit, she will cruise at 85 mph, climb 700 ft. per minute 0%ow na maximum ceiling of 15,000 ft.

Letters are being sent to all local organizations and it is hoped that two representatives from each organization will attend the next fair .'meeting,'*'also anyone is', welcome,,,to., work with this committee.

An interesting feature of this plane is that although its a tractor .type with propeller in front, the sirigle engine is mounted centrally above the wings reminiscent of the pusher-type Seabee. The prototype of the Volmer- Jensen, (Mr.' Jensen, is a Cali- fornian glider enthusiast) has been successful with an 85 hp, pusher. Mr. Davie is confident that the modification he has made to the original design will iron out previous difficulties encountered in the installation of large engines. Another Volmer- . Jensen modification built by Mr. Davie and Mr. Roy Hansom has just passed its flight tests, both as a land and.sea plane. "The beauty of it" says Mr. Daviey who grew up with planes at the Pas, Manitoba, and who flies an Aeronca-Chief based at the' Wilson Creek airstrip, ��� "is its. simplicity. It can be constructed with three simple tools, a hacksaw, a hammer and a glue-pot." Plus I fancv a little technical know-how which ' he did not mention. Elsie :G. Turnbull, the author of Topping's Trail, has found'in the early history of her home city of Trail a fascinating account of / a most colorful adventurer whose exploits, determination and foresight have gained him the title of The Father of Trail.

Surveyor, trapper, gold hunter, scout and Indian fighter, Colonel Topping ��� reached the Kootenays in 1888 following rumors of gold strikes ^along, the shores of Kootenay Lake. His ^experiences at Trail Creek Landing, his purchase of shares in a mine for $12.50 which he later sold for $30,000 and which even later would command a price of $3,000,000, his activities ��� in the early development of the present day city of Trail create a colorful background of pioneering life and reveals the fortitude and courage displayed' by the early settlers in one of Canada's most notable communities. Illustrated with early photographs this book portrays the problems of early life in western Canada and brings, to - light the personalities and ambitions, of the people who laid the foundations for a great industrial- area. -- MITCHELL PRESS LIMITED Vancouver, B.C. 94 pp illustrated, $4.75.

Education __ / in Japan Figures released by Japan's ministry of education indicate that Japan is becoming a leader among the world's countries in educational levels. t/A white paper released by the ministry shows that 99.9 percent of all children ,"bf elementary school age are now attending school. Compulsory education in Japan, extends through the junior high school level. * \ f The report says that 70.6 percent of students who graduate from junior high schools continue into senior high school. The United States is the only country in the world which exceeds this percentage, aocording to the report: Just under 16 percent of senior high school students go on to college or university. Quality oV education, as measured by the ratio of teachers to pupils, is also among the ���highest in the world. According to the report> there is now one teacher to every 29 pupils in the elementary and junior high' school system. The report expresses some concern over the differences between cities and rural areas in the number of students who finish compulsory education and continue into senior high school. In Tokyo, nearly 85 percent of all students go^on to senior high school while Mn some rural prefectures, the average drops to 48 percent.. Women are becoming more interested in higher education and about 225,000 women attend colleges and universities, double the figure of five years ago, according to the report. LARRY BREADON Larry H.
