Plan to spend the day at the beach. World travellers! (By ERNIE BURNETT) Over the weekend you may have noticed a sail boat anchored in the bay, a common occurrence, but if you had looked^ a little closer, you. wouldthayje seen that she was flying^the maple leaf flag as a courtesy flag, and her flag staff was flying the Royal Hong Kong Yacht club flag. She is the mast head sloop Haida Sea, 35 ft. 3 inches long, 8 ft. 9 inches beam, and is powered by a 6 hp. Volvo Perita which is used only for charging batteries and for entering and leaving harbors. 7 , She is owned and skippered by retired Major J. R. Roberts, and his charming wife Barbara. Major Roberts retired in Saigon in 1962, and then a long and most interesting voyage started. They left Singapore and went up Malacca Straits, stopping only at Port.Dixon, Penang, and to the island of Ceylon's Colombo about the middle of February, 1963. Then a 23 day passage to Aden and a stop over for five weeks. They then sailed for Ethiopia : Port Sudan, and cleared the Suez Canal at the end of June, 1963, and spent the summer in Lebanon, the Greek Islands and as far as Corfu by the end of the summer, then spent the winter in Malta. The following summer, 1964, they sailed to the Italian Riviera, French Riviera, Monaco, Balearic Islands, south coast of Spain,and in September were in Gibraltar, getting ready to cross the Atlantic. They had a very bad* passage from the Canary Islands to Barbados and the (trip took 42 days. Then from Barbados to Grenada and the next two years were spent sailing up and down the Caribbean, down as far as Trinidad. While in the Virgin Islands their daughter decided *o get married. Last October they set out once more going south to the Dutch Islands and several stops along the way, and then JULY DRY MONTH The weather for July according to Dick Kennett, Giibsons area weather observer, resulted in a high of 82 degrees with a mean average of. 62 degrees. There were four days with rain and total fall for those days was 1.37 inches. Sunny and warm was his report about the month's weather. Panama, where they had mechanical difficulties and were held up for a month. After 14 days to the Galapagos, they spent 10 dajfs; then 3200; mile_7in 2$7day;s 7 fto 7Nukihiba''��� irif th^7Marquesas;; ithen"anqtheii-.2300 odd miles to Honolulu where they, slipped;the ship and got ready for the trip to Vancouver. They arrived in Victoria on June 18, then into Vancouver where they picked up an old friend, Dick Stacey and took a cruise around the coast area. Arriving in Gibsons on Friday, they spent the weekend, leaving early Monday morning for Vancouver, where they will rest up and prepare for a return trip to Grenada about the middle of August. Pick 1 of 82 Mr. F. A. Reyburn, of Burnaby has been selected as regional building inspector by ' the Sunshine Coast Regional District board of directors. His services start Sept. 1- and by the same time the building, plumbing and sewage bylaws become effective Mr. Reyurn has been with Burnaby municipality building department for the last many years and was senior member of the department. He was one of four chosen out of 82 applicants to get consideration for the job. Starting salary will be $575 a month. He has a summer home in Pender Harbour area. Protest made Operation of a sawmill in Roberts Creek near the provincial campsite park drew four letters of protest to the Sunshine Coast Regional Board meeting Friday night in Roberts Creek school. The letters argued the sawmill would reduce real estate values in an area of residential property, and that it was a menace to health as it drained towards a creek running through the area. Board members discussed how firm were the regulations it could use to .stop its operation and came up with the advice that the men involved in thh sawmill operation apply to the board and check on requirements under building, plumbing and sewage bylaws before proceeding further. Gibsons rejects Bullock report MAGISTRATE ANDREW Johnston of Sechelt died Tuesday afternoon at 2:15 in .Vancouver's General" Hospital^ Death came after a prolonged illness follow-, ing a major operation. He had been magistrate on the Sunshine Coast many years and had served as magistrate in Vancouver courts during the last 18 months Mrs. Johnston was at the hospital when death came. Funeral arrangements are being made in Vancouver pending word from relatives in Norway: ���Gibsons village council has decided not to go along with the water-project as presented by the Bullock report of the provincial government water rights branch. , This report favors using Langdale Creek and available ground '.water sources for a water system covering from Langdale to Gower Point. Instead the council favors the Dayton report which favors.use of Chapman Creek and an area water board. Chapman Creek watershed is approximately 10 times as great as Langdale Creek and could service a much wider area. The Dayton report issued in July, recommends. 1. That the village of Gibsons advise the Sunshine Coast Regional District of its interest in and support for an area water organization to finance, design, construct, operate and maintain a primary water supply for the Sunshine Coast. 2. That the village of Gibsons advise the Sunshine Coast ��� Regional District that it will not support or participate in the specific plan of primary water supply recommended in the 1967 Water Rights Branch repprt because the plan is inadequate and unacceptable. 3. That the village of Gibsons urge the Sunshine Coast Regional district to initiate and sponsor a large scale plan of primary water supply, utilizing Chapman - Creek as the , source, designed to serve both the initial and long term requirements of the area between Langdale and Halfmoon Bay. Argument produced in council at Tuesday night's'meeting revealed the council was of the ��� opinion that local area water district board would mean that local district borrowing powers would be tied up in the lesser Bullock scheme. This would leave no borrowing power available for the Chapman Creek scheme. It was argued that it would tend heavily towards double expenditure to eventually bring in the Chapman Creek water source. Council felt that one . expenditure even if larger, would be cheaper in the long run. . Gibsons council Tuesday night protested strongly against the Public Health Unit's move to "establish health officers in Powell River and Squamish, to service the Sunshine Coast area. 7 This would mean that no health officer would be associated with the Gibsons "Health''Unit; ��� ^Phil; Cremptoh; the ��� health off i- 7 ccr >fo. 7 rosign^7receritl^;"^wiil" not-fbe replaced according id information provided by letter from Dr." P. J. .Reynolds, director of the Regional Health Unit from Powell River to Pemberton Council decided to inform Dr. Reynolds of council's attitude. A copy of the letter will also go to the Regional District board as it too; is involved in health problems.^ B.CV Hydro asked for a water supply to its North road substation by Oct. 31. The letter with the request explained that $4,000 will be spent on landscaping the south and west areas, work to be completed by the end of October. Bob Kelly, garbage collector, has asked council to put up no shooting signs around the garbage dump as he had suffered experience of pot shot endeavours by persons in vicinity of the dump. Dumps open After debate garbage dumps under control of the Sunshine Coast Regional District were left open to the public until such time as garbage collection is organized. This was decided at last Friday night's meeting of the board in Roberts Creek school when the problem of what to do with Sechelt dump came to the fore. It was decided that signs would be erected showing the way to the dump. Chairman Norman Watson,' basing his views on past experience, preferred the dumps remain closed to the public but he bowed to the will of other members of the board who were o. Ihc opinion it was cheaper to c'can up around dump areas 'hen it would be to have to clean _._> .he highways from Port Mel- Ian to Sechelt area. r'EEK WATER BOARDS n^bvts Creek and Gower Porn! communities are planning to c.ganize as water improvement districts. Meetings have born held in both communities :i v'ew of recommendations in the Bullock water report. Regional men cautious Which water should be used for an area bulk supply, Chapman Creek or Langdale Creek? The answer to this question is sought by the Regional District municipal board. The .problem came before the board at its Friday night meetr. ing in-rRbberts .CreekrSchpph^The; 7b��ard?/mem^ a. report, on the situation by: Clerk Charles Gooding. .In. summing up the situation regarding bulk water supply at present and some recommenda- ions for the board on possible action they could take, Clerk Charles Gooding reported as follows: ���There are two main areas in which the board is concerned with ��� bulk water supply. These - areas are West Howe Sound and the Sechelt, West. Sechelt and Davis Bay area. In between the Tsawcombe Indian Reserve area and Roberts Creek have population pockets requiring supply and distribution systems. I have not considered Halfmoon Bay area because at- present the board has little information available on which to work. From our present information, the Bullock report and the Dayton report there is sufficient water available and sufficient users to make the exploitation of these bulk supplies feasible. The problems involved in obtaining and. putting these bulk supplies into Use are complex but are not insurmountable providing the existing legislation available under the Municipal Act and the Water Act is used intelligently and with the best interests of the: user (taxpayer) being made the: main consideration at all times.. In the West Howe Sound area. . the problems are in two groups;, and one is engineering. There is: a difference of opinion over the origin.of the bulk supply for the . West Howe Sound areia. The Bul- ^-pek-'-re^ ���dale Creek, the Daytoi.-report Chapman Creek.' The differences; centre upon the supply of water available from Langdale Creek. Dayton considers it insufficient- Bullock recommends it but with auxiliary wells. Bullock thinks Langdale and wells better than any other alternative. Dayton thinks Chapman Creek with its comparatively huge watershed the answer to the whole area. Both these men are experienced engineers in the water field and I believe sincere in their opinions. Problem number two is the organization of existing and potential water users in the bulk supply area. This problem is basically that of obtaining funds to provide a bulk supply where a large proportion of the existing users are not immediately in need of water and are not therefore eager to contribute as organized units This resolves itself broadly into a situation where approximately the .concentrated and organized haves and an almost equal number of spread out have nots effectively create a stalemate. To create an area water organization in the West Howe (Continued on Page 12) Bathtub coming to Fair? Something new in the form of a Mutt Show will be part of this year's Sunshine Coast Fall Fair opening Friday, August 11 and continuing Saturday. The Mutt show Saturday morning at 10.30 will have entries for the longest and shortest tail or legs, longest ears, shortest and fattest dog, the smallest and the best performer. This should be an interesting event with prizes being awarded which will include some of the Dr. Ballard animal food products. Another unusual exhibit may be the winning craft of Sunday's Nanaimo - Vancouver bathtub derby. The winner, Rusty Harrison, 21, of White Rock, is a grandson of Ron Haig, Royal Canadian Legion official and chairman of Gibsons and Area Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Haig is trying to get the winning bathtub over to Gibsons for the two days of the fair. Young Harrison is an employee in B.C. Telephones' postal drafting department. Gerry Clarke, secretary of the fair, reports that there appears to be a keen interest in, this year's fair and it is quite likely that with the excellent fruit weather this summer such exhibits will be quite numerous. There will also be Co-op dog food donated as prizes and Co-op flour for other events. CAT ON LEASH FOUND A grey cat with collar and leash was found on the Sechelt Queen ferry July 31.

A big decision necessary With two reports by engineers covering water possibilities in the area from Port Mellon to Sechelt it would be reasonable to maintain that Sunshine Coast Regional board directors would have all that is required to go ahead with a scheme to supply the area with water. Such is not the case. The Bullock water rights branch report prefers to use Langdale Creek as the basis of its water source while the Dayton report, prepared for Gibsons village council prefers Chapman Creek. The Bullock report outlines the use of Langdale Creek as the base water supply for the area Langdale to Gower Point. It also utilizes present local area water sources as ipart of the system. The Dayton report regards Langdale Creek as a secondary supply and bases its contention on the use of Chapman Creek on a much wider scale covering the area West Sechelt to Langdale. It also utilizes local water sources as being part of the system. The Langdale Creek project would take two years to put into operation and the Chapman Creek project at least four years. Some thinking by Regional District board members is'that increasing population demands for water in the entire district would require the greater of the two water projects, Chapman Creek, to satisfy demands. This.point of view has created a doubt in the minds of board directors as to which is the best scheme to consider. During discussion on the problem at the last Regional District meeting there was a suggestion dropped that perhaps the provincial government had some reason for adopting a hands off policy as regards the use of Chapman Creek. As only top level govern ment sources would have knowledge of this no answer was or is available.. To help decide what would be best for the area board members have decided to set, aside one evening in a committee of the whole meeting to give the issue as wide discussion as possible before, there is thought of pinning down any project. With Langdale Creek being an uncertain water source in dry periods and Chapman Creek being extremely expensive to develop for the whole area's use, there fs reason for doubt as. to which system to support. Linguistic atrocities When one hears atrocious sentences uttered on TV or radio and sometimes appearing in respectable newspapers, even as respectable as the Coast News, one can only wonder how some of the millions of dollars used to educate the young were used. Not only does sentence construction create wonderment but the fact that periods creep into sentences is of no account to some announcers who prattle on regardless of places where they could at least pause half a second. There is the prime example involving a proofreader, a woman of precision and extreme propriety who checked a story written by a reporter. He wrote as follows: "Willie Brown, the boy who was burned in the West end by a live wire..." On the following day the reporter found on his desk a frigid note, asking: "Which is the West end of a boy?" It took only an instant to reply: "The end the son sets on, of course." COAST NEWS 20 YEARS AGO B.C. Fir Company Ltd., Sechelt division, plans a $100,000 sawmill on the east side of Porpoise Bay. Dr. Hugh Inglis has extended medical service to cover Sechelt and Halfmon Bay areas. Sechelt Union Estates store safe was broken into and some $6,000 in cash, bonds and jewelry was stolen. Porpoise Bay lots were advertised from $160 up; Gibsons $350 up and Gower Point $400 each. Announcement was made that the Summit General store was going to be opened at West Sechelt by Mr. Hartman and his sister. Comment was made by one writer on the unruly behavior of ch'ldren attending mo Vie shows. Official opening of the new wharf at Gibsons was set for August 16 with the Salvation Army band taking part. Changes to the Navigable Waters Protection act. to cover the effects of water pollution created by cargo vessels is advocated) by Jack Davis, MP, Coast-Capilano in a letter fo Minister of Transport J. W. Pickersgill. Argument present-- ed by Mr. Davis refers to (he probabilities of another Torrey, Canyon disaster in Canadian waters similar to the oil problem this wreck created on the coast of England and the s5nk- ing of an oil barge off Pasley Island, near. Gibsons. The letter from Mr. Davis reads as follows: Were Canada to be faced with a Torrey Canyon incident, it would be in bad shape: The Navigable Waters Protection" Act does not cover incidents like this. It never has. So the entire cost of cleaning up the mess would fall on the should- - ers of the Canadian taxpayer. The chances of a $17 million Torrey Canyon incident in Canada are growing daily. Oil tankers are getting bigger. And more oil carriers are moving., along our coasts. It is only a"' matter of time before a major accident occurs. And when it does we should be prepared to deal with -it, not only in terms of cleaning up the pollutioi:, but also in terms of recovering our costs from those who are primarily responsible for hazards of this kind. We have already had an example of what can happen under these circumstances. When a large oil barge sank in Howe Sound in 1964 it caused a great deal of damage to surrounding property. An oil leak developed with the result that considerable wildlife was destroyed and neighboring beaches were rendered unusable for several seasons. COPYRIGHT APPLIED FOR We welcome written questions on legal points from readers. If possible they will be answered in this column. Letters must be brief, signed and your address shown. Send to "Point of Law," c/o this newspaper. A reader wants to know if a business can be forced to sell an article at a given price as offered in a trade catalogue. Every contract must have four parts: form, offer, acceptance and consideration or a seal. Form simply refers to whether the contract is in writing, by word of mouth, or understood. Offer���someone must offer to do something, that is, buy or sell an article of goods. Acceptance���the person to whom the offer was made must accept it. Consideration is, for example, payment of money or delivery of goods. A seal vs a small red paper wafer stuck to a written contract ��� which does away with the necessity for consideration. To return to the question, it implies that the offer may be accepted by letter. A contract can indeed be, and quite offen is, entered into by a series of letters through the mail, if the letters properly set out the four parts of the contract mentioned above. The offer that appears in the trade catalogue would not, however, in general be regarded by our law as an offer in the sense that this term is used in law ��� as be:ng, that is, one of the four essenr tial parts of a contract. This is not really an offer in the eyes of the law ��� it is rather an invitation to treat ��� or to bargain. The reply to such a catalogue listing would bo the offer ��� which would have to be accepted by the person who proposes to sell the goods. To be an effective offer, the words used must be capable of being applied to a specific per- marine The company which' owned the barge, Barge Ten 'Company;, of San Francisco, (at the tiihe of floundering it was carrying fuel oil from the Texaco Refinery in Anacortes, Washington to the Canadian Forest Products Company's mill in Port Mellon, B.C.), abandoned the hulk. It threw up its hands and left the Federal taxpayer. in the position of having to raise the barge in nearly 300 feet of water. .The resultant cost was fantastic. The Auditor Genr eral's report for 1965 said that a total of $430,000 had to be spent before the source of pollution was removed. The1 lives of two divers were jeopardized in the process. And despite all this the Barge Ten Company of San Francisco got off scott free. This incident in Howe Sound should not be repeated; And we have had sufficient warning. The $17 million Torrey Canyon incident off the south coast of England merely serves to underline the need for our Navigable Waters Protection Act to be amended and amended immediately. Section 15 of the Navigable Waters Protection Act should be amended, perhaps, as follows: "When any vessel, cargo, or other thing is wrecked, sinking, lying ashore or grounded in navigable waters and is not an obstruction to navigation but is causing water pollution, or constitutes a danger to waterfowl or marine life,'or is detrimental to the enjoyment of coastal property, the Minister may order the owner of such vessel, cargo or other thing to begin forthwith and prosecute diligently to completion, the removal or destruction thereof and may, in case of default, order such removal or destruc- ution POINT OF LAW u ' ���; bf -/v [-Practicing. aLawyr son who acts upon them and thus accepts the offer.

When you plant a bed of annuals, use dwarf compact edging annuals at the front. For example, Blue Kiss or Blue Blaze ageratum, Bravo dian- thus, Snow Carpet sweet .alys- sum or Mrs. Clibran lobei:a are all very effective cultivars for this purpose./ If you want a distinctive, bed of annuals, use dwarf types like ageratum, fibrous rooted begonias or Dark Opal swect: basil, and dot the. bed ��� with plants like the s'lyery-leaved dfisty miller to give height and interest. .���, Another very effective combination is white petunias and, here and there, plants of the Dark Opal basil or the taller- growing deep red-leaved perilla. Other planting arrangements you might like to try are Salvia farinacea 'Blue Bedder' and Pink Button zinnias, which will provide color in the garden all summer long as well as abundant material for cut flowers. Deep blue petunias such as Blue Magic and the golden yellow French marigold-Sparky, produce a very colorful effect. Yellow and green leaved coleus and blue ageratum will give you a -'combination that will effectively brighten dull shady corners. In the rock garden use the dwarf bedding types such as sweet alyssum, ageratum, lo belia, pygmy marigolds, sanvi- talia and fibrous-rooted begonias. The Floral Carpet snapdragons and the new dwai-f pompom zinnias are also excellent plants for this location. However, avoid large and colorful petunias for the rockery as they will overshadow the more exquisite fine-textured alpines. Instead, plant restrained types such as the yellow Moonbeam or Brass Band primroses, or small blue ones such as Capri and Sky Magic. Tall and medium-sized zinnias grow well in the herbaceous border, where they will hide bulb foilage and grow over the oriental poppy leaves.

The scream of 600 mile an hour jets and the soft purr of a plane that is almost 50 years old will be part of the sights and sounds of PNE '67. The jets are the Royal Canadian Air Force's famed Golden Centennaires ��� an offshoot of the equally famous and now disbanded RCAF Golden Hawks aerobatic team. The Golden Centennaires will put on dazzling aerobatic displays over Exhibition Park grounds at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on August 25 and 26. The group is giving 100 shows across Canada to celebrate the country's Centennial. The Centennaires have a var ied format using five, six, seven and nine Tudor jet aircraft during their displays. The double bomb burst with a solo vertical roll followed by a cross over is one of the highlights of the show. For those who like the oldies there will be two AVRO 504K military trainers that were first used in 19-18. They will putt-putt across the grounds on the same two days at a dashing 80 miles an hour. There will also be a CF-1C4 operational fighter aircraft in the displays. The PNE with its "Century Pacific" theme runs from August 19 to September 4.

Letters to editor Editor: I was delighted to see Mr. Freeman's Canadian Red Cross' letters on the front page recently. If one stops to think, our swim ming classes on the coasts have had instructors who were taught Bronze medal standards under Red Cross auspices. All invalid equipment is available including wheel chairs, bed pans, commodes, crutches and other items . Further if the public demands it classes in home nursing, invalid cooking and sewing can be had with Red Cross instructors. In this area the blood clinic is run by the Kinsmen club but who finds the equipment? Our good friends the volunteers work hard and collect money for the excellent Red Cross service all over the world for those who are destitute, refugees, victims of war, pestilence and earthquake. When a real campaign starts here remember if yqu are not undernourished help those who are less fortunate and give generously. ��� Dorothy Greene. "' When did Armistice Day become Remembrance Day? Until i931 what we know as Remembrance Day ���November 11 ��� was called Armistice Day. It is an annual statutory holiday in Canada and now honors the memory of those who died in the two world wars. From 1921 to 1931 Armistice Day. was observed, together with Thanksgiving Day, on the Monday of the week in which- November 11 fell. The symbol of Remembrance Day is the red poppy of Flanders fields, replicas of which are made by .disabled war . veterans and distributed by means of a tag. day organized by the Canadian Legion.

A gavel with authority Gibsons and District Kinsmen, discovering a need in the community stepped in immediately to fill that need. A few months ago the Kinsmen discovered that the Kiwanis club was in need of a gavel with which to conduct their meetings. The hat was passed among Kinsmen members and the sum of l!0c was raised to be donated to the Kiwanis as the beginning of a fund to purchase-'a new gavel.}. The Kiwanis seemed deeply appreciative of the gesture, but, feeling the same pinch that everyone else does, felt that they were not able to carry on the fund, but pointed out that a gavel, suitably engraved as being presented by the Kinsmen, would be warmly treasured.

Recreation mess noted Until a clear-cut policy on recreation is established by governmental departments the Sunshine Coast Regional board of trustees will refrain from giving consideration to recreation matters in this area. The only consideration of the subject possible until that time would be if some area presented the board with a recreation program. Then the board would have to tackle the request. Reason for leaving the recreation field alone is that three governmental departments are involved in recreation and all three are working in diverse directions. As a result of a letter from one of the departments, that of municipal affairs, the board decided to inform the department that its letter on recreation will be tabled until such time as there is a firm policy laid down by the senior government. The board asks the government to state its policy of financing and the level of government responsible. The board also asks for a definition of parks.

Last Saturday, Eric Huskin of Berkeley, California^ now a summer resident of Roberts Creek, came in to express his appreciation of the Savary Island articles written by Eric Thomson, a director and contributor to this paper. Born in Calgary .'-Mr. Huskin received his early education in that city and later took, his de* greeas a chemical engineer in Vancouver. Moving across the line he obtained ., his master's \ degree at the University of Mi chigan and then on to California But the'tug of Canada's west coast was ever present and after exploring the possibilities of Vancouver Island for a spot in which to settle down when retirement, came, the Huskiris finally located *..at Roberts Creek and dunng their five weeks vacation are taking the first step in re conditioning their cottage for permanent occupancy: Eric's only regret is they are just too busy to take enough tihie out for fishing.V but that, he says, will come when they finally shake the dust of Berkeley and , return to these parts for keeps.

Sunshine Coast Highway ��� Ph. 886-2808 Plan No. 11630 (copyright No. 117093) The population "explosion" of many of our rapidly growing towns and cities make duplex housing a desirable method of not only coping with the housing problem, but also providing revenue for the owner. Plan No. 11630 is a duplex that has much to recommend it to the prospective owner/ builder or contractor builder. Each unit has 1026 square feet in area, which makes it possible for rooms to be larger than is usual in duplex housing. Complete privacy in- the sleeping area is ensured by situating the two bedrooms at the back of the house, ack to back fireplaces in the living rooms are economically installed. The kitchens are especially large, with lots of cupboard and storage space, and space for dining. ��� One side of the duplex features a den or third bedroom, or a small dining room if desired, while the other adapts the same space for storage, and access to the full basement. Each bathroom has a large vanity, broom, and linen closets Private entries located on' the extreme corners of the build- nig, make coming and going completely private. The exterior appearance is simple with clean lines, featuring a semi flat roof. This duplex could be built economically, and provide excellent revenue possibilities in any area. It is designed to the standards of the National Building Code of Canada, for N.H.A. or conventional mortgage as desired. Other duplexes are featured, along with a good selection of two and three bedroom homes, and fourplex units in book, which can be obtained our Select Home Dssigixs Plan by sending 85c in coin or money order to the Building Centre (B.C.)

And it should be made before the, next expensive incident occurs rather than after we run into a situation as developed " in Howe Sound, B.C., in 1964 and off the south coast of England earlier this year.���Jack Davis, M.P. : The (report of the auditor- general covering the cost of salvaging the barge which sank off Pasley Island reads as follows: On March 5, 1964 a barge in tow with a cargo of oil sank in over 200 feet of. water off Pasley Island in Howe Sound, B.C. Leaking oil fouled the beaches in the area. After the charterer had endeavored to contain the pollution and clear the surface of the sea, he.notified the department of transport that he was abandoning the vessel because the risk of rupturing the hull during any attempt at salvage and the cost ��� of salvage were too great to contemplate. The oiHaden barge remained a serious threat to waterfowl, marine life and coastal property and its removal was regarded as essential by the department. As the wreck was not a menace to navigation, there was no legislation under which the private interests involved could be held responsible for its removal or for costs if removal were undertaken by the Crown. Acordihg- ly, the department engaged salvage experts to investigate and report on the best means of dealing with the sunken barge. Salvage operations commenced in June 1964 under a no cure, no pay contract. After the contractor's costs had exceeded the contract price, with little progress : having been made, : he indicated that he wished to withdraw from the undertaking and minimize his losses. This led to treasury board authority 7 to negotiate with the same contractor to proceed on an incurred cost basis. In October 1964 the barge was finally raised and removed to Vancouver, where it was sold for $12,752 by Crown Assets Disposal corporation'. The remaining oil was found to have been so badly 'contaminated by sea water that it was valueless. Salvage costs pn'd to the end of the year amounted to $265,000. The total expense of the operation is expected to be at least $430,000. We understand that consideration- is being given to recommending legislation to place'financial responsibility on the owners for the removal of a wreck or its cargo, in circumstances such as the above. news��� FASHION CONSULTANT TO THE 160 SINGER CENTERS IN CANADA, Make a Mini part of your summer scene.. .

Rev. A. Crewe performed the ���marriage service. ' The bride was given in marriage by her uncle, Mr. Joe Er- lendson. . The fair-haired bride wore a charming gown of white lace styled with pettipoint sleeves. The fitted bodice was enriched . with rhinestones and the 7 lace fell in tiers, each tier being ; caught in a scallop with rhinestones. The shoulder length veil fell softly from a crown of aurora toorealis. Her only jewelry was a necklace of cultured pearJs with matching earrings, the gift of the groom. . Red roses and white carna- / tions formed her cascade bouquet. There were five attendants, Eloise deLong, matron of honor and Donna Albrams, Cathie Morrison, Linda Wood, cousin of the bride and Leslie Anderson as bridesmaids. All attendants wore floor length shift dresses of ice blue lace over taffeta styled with mussel sleeves. Their headdress- . es were tiaras with aurora bor- ealis teardrops. They carried fan shaped blue tulle bouquets with white carnations. Best man was John Baird while Danny Watson, brother of the groom, Ray Lewis, Albert Carter and John Barners of Gib sons acted' as ushers. The groom's brother Johnny and nephew Buddy Bealy were door boys at the church. Following the wedding, a reception was held in the Cumberland Recreation Hall where the bridal party with the parents received the guests in front of .a prettily decorated arch. Mrs. Ferguson chose for her daughter's wedding a beige lace dress with beige accessories and a contrasting hat while the groom's mother Mrs. Mima Watson wore a two piece brocaded suit with pink hat and white accessories. Both mothers wore corsages of carnations. Mr. Henry Watson acted as master of ceremonies and called upon Mr. Bill Nairn, of Port Alberni, to say grace. The toast to the bride was given by her uncle Mr. Magnus Erlendson and ably responded to by the groom. Mr. John Baird toasted the bridesmaids. Soloists a.t the reception were Mr. Jack Bennie and Mr. Tom Shilton. The bride's table was covered with a hand crocheted table cloth loaned by Mrs. Barbara Luzyzyn and was centred with a three tiered wedding cake embedded in white tulle. Leaving on a honeymoon to be spent in California, Mrs. Watson donned a two piece blue and white checked suit with an off the face sailor hat and accessories of white. Red carnations formed her corsage. Mr. and Mrs. J. Watson will take up residence in Courtenay. Beauty hints TASELLA SH0PPE FOR YOUR YARDGOODS ��� Sechelt Ph. 885-9331 By LYNN CARTER Q. Any suggestions for a homemade hair-dressing liquid? A. Try this one: Cut two lemons into slices, drop into a pan, and add just enough water to cover the lemons. Boil until the thickness of the water indicates that all the lemon juice has been extracted, then strain, and use the remaining juice and water mixture as your hair dressing. Q. Do you have any tip for adding naturalness to my makeup jobs? A. After treating yourself to a good soapsuds facial, apply your makeup just before you jump into your hot-tub bath. The steam from the bath will impart an attractive, dewy look to you facial artwork. Q. What is a good and effective homemade hand lotion? A. Equal parts of glycerin and camphor does a good job. Etiquet '<" By ROBERTA LEE Q. Someone has told me it's not good manners to use the handkerchief while at the dinner table. Is this true? A. This is not so much a matter of good manners as of necessity. Certainly, if the handkerchief is necessary, use it ��� but do so as inconspicuously and as quietly as possible. Q. Is it proper to typewrite the names on place cards for a wedding dinner? A. No. The names should be handwritten in ink. If legibility is a problem with you, you may hand-print the names. Q. When a man who doesn't smoke takes out a girl who does, is he supposed always to help her light up when she takes out a cigarette? ��� A. It would probably look more thoughtful and courteous if.he made a practice of carrying a book of matches with him on these dates, and when she takes out a cigarette light it for her. Or, even if he doesn't have matches with him, he can use one of hers. Coast News,. Aug. 3, 1967. 9 Q. Is it all right, if more convenient, to mail out the marriage announcements a few days before the wedding itself? A. No ��� and for the simple and logical ^reason that the couple is not really married before the wedding has taken place. These announcements are properly mailed out immediately after the ceremony.

The brothers, Francoise and Louis Joseph, belonged to a prominent family of Quebec fur traders who explored deep into the continent. In 1739, Francois led the expedition which discovered the Saskatchewan River. In 1742, with Joseph, he started exploring the country to the southwest, and eventually they reached the foothills of the Rockies. The brothers found that the Indians to the south had numerous horses, mules and asses, which had descended from the first horses !.n- troduced by the Spaniards. The natives had not developed the wheel, and their only previous beast of burden had been the dog. They eagerly acquired . horses from the Spaniards and from each other, through capture or trading, and helped spread them throughout the continent. The possession of horses brought about an entirely new way of life for the In�� dians. Hunters could surround and chase down the buffalo on which they depended for food, clothing and shelter. Tiresome foot journeys could be made rapidly on horseback, and heavy loads carried easily with the travois, a sort of sled. Horses also gave them greater speed and mobility in warfare. (This historical feature is one of a series which readers may wish to clip and save.) Tidal survey along coast Warping her way in an easy- as-she-goes manner alongside Gibsons wharf, Canadian Nayal Auxiliary Vessel (CNAV) Lay- more paid an overnight visit recently. Her mission according to Commanding Officer Capt. J. Maloney, RON, as an ocean research vessel, was the making of a tidal survey along the Sunshine Coast as far as Lund. This is but one of the varied assignments of this naval auxiliary craft which in some respects could be likened to the mythical USN Reluctant in the play Mr. Roberts, referred to by its crew as This Bucket, which operated in the back areas of the Pacific on a regular run characterized in the play as from Tedium to Apathy and back, about five days each way. Apart from its appearance as a U.S. Navy cargo ship, the Lay- more was in fact a former World War 2 American Auxiliary craft intended for service in the South Seas and acquired by the Canadian Navy. Here the similarity to U.S.N. Reluctant ends, as she is a happy ship, well manned by personnel from her home base, Esquimau. Serving with Capt. Maloney are the three mates, W. Frame, 1st, N. Vanderuyt, 2nd and J. Marsh, formerly of the Royal Navy, 3rd. She is a sturdy craft of 559 ton burthen, equipped with a miscellany of gear used in oceanic research, complete with a laboratory. At the conclusion of this five-day mission, she will return to Esquimalt to report for the next odd job along the coast.

COAST NEWS WANT ADS ARE BEST SELLERS Department of Fisheries Sports Fish Bulletin Week Ending July 23 Lower Sunshine Coast waters from Roberts Creek to Gower Point held coho last week, and trollers, strip-casters and mooch- ers met with fair success on a number of occasions. Surveys in the area Sunday morning found several boats with coho aboard. Gower Point waters also gave up a number of chinooks to 25 lbs. during the week. Salmon Rock, Worlcomtoe Island and Cape Roger Curtis came up with mixed catches of coho and chinooks. A few early pinks were taken between Cowans and Gower Points. Weights ranged from V& to 5 lbs. Horseshoe Bay last week produced a few coho and several chinooks to 18 lbs. This week should have seen the peak of the chinook run in upper Howe Sound but reports last week mentioned only a few chinooks from the Porteau area and only one noteworthy fish of IW2. lbs. from Britannia. At Horseshoe Bay, anglers are asked to' stop at an orange colored box and fill in a brief questionnaire regardless of their success afloat. It won't take a minute and we would very much appreciate the information. Coho-ing seems to have picked up all along the Sunshine Coast. Maybe this is where the Island fish have gone. Fearney Point and nearby Cape Cock- burn waters provided many limits and near-limits during the week as did the Egmont area and the southern end of Las- queti Island. Biggest coho seen during boat checks was a SYz pounder. The main sport fleet on the weekend concentrated around Pender Harbour. Sechelt Inlet, Bargain Harbour and Secret Cove saw little action salmon- wise and relatively little effort compared to Pender Harbour. Moochers fishing chinook holes adjacent to Pender Harbour were stricely after heavy chinooks so failed to click on the coho, although there was evidence of these fish around. af convention Enthusiastic approval was registered by the local congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses who attended a four-day: district convention at Queens Park Stadium in New Westminster. Memlbers reported a larger than expected attendance taxed the facilities of the Royal City's stadium making it one of the largest of the coast-to-coast series of Witness conventions. A. W. McNamara, special Watchtower representative from Toronto, spoke to 7,855 attentive delegates Sunday on Rescuing a Great Crowd of Mankind out of Armageddon. By insisting on their national sovereignty, he said, the nations of the world are challenging God's sovereignty over the earth. Absolute refusal of blood transfusions for Jehovah's Witnesses and their families was^ also reaffirmed by MacNamara who said that with few notable exceptions the medical association treat God's law as a myth or as no longer having force. They put the life of imperfect men above the law of God. Highlights of the four-day meet included a swimming-pool baptism of 109 new ministers, scriptural dramas with Bible characters coming to life in costumes of the historical period, and the release of new textbooks for the Witnesses' ministry. The 1,400 volunteers worked tirelessly throughout the four days to look after the Witnesses every need. 15,000 hot. meals were prepared on site for the delegates. More than four out of five obese persons may be diabetics, and when obese diabetics lose exicess weight they may no logger ,be diabetic, researchers were told at a conference on diabetes and obesity held by New York City's Acadcni3' of Sciences and reported in MD of Canada. Dr. W. J. __.'��� Butterfield, professor of medicine at Guy's Hospital medical school in London, England, told the conferees that the human body's fat pad of adipose tissue competes with muscle tissue for insulin. In the obese adult diabetic the fat pad tends to win: it increases fatness and because muscle tissue does not metabolize insulin effectively the insulin level in the blood rises. Similar studies with noridia- betics showed that insulin clearance into 'muscle tissue diminished progressively as obesity increased.

The close to 100 persons at the Sunshine Coast Arts Council concert Saturday evening in Elphinstone school auditorium were treated to excellent madrigal singing and other entertainment which could be termed controversial. The first five numbers involved lute and vocal works of the 15th and 16th centuries and the fine voices of Corlynn Hannay, Marg Neil, Doreen Oke, Lloyd Burritt and the lute of Ray Nurse left little to be desired. All were from the UBC music department. The voice of Miss Hannay delighted particularly, being refreshing because of its lack of today's type of professionalism. The remainder of the vocal group, equally proficient, were the highlight of the evening. Section two provided Mel Bowker a chance to display his piano technique in a J. S. Bach Partita and Moszkowski's Caprice Espagnol. In the Bach number he showed his command of the piano but in the 'Caprice he really showed his versatility and left no doubt he could translate the printed note into living music. At times one could almost hear a choir of mandolins. Section three provided music by Schubert and Cyril Scott. Schubert's Whither sung by Mrs. Peggy Burritt saw Mr. Bowker accompanying. Schubert is usually melodic and Mrs. Burritt was successful, yet a trifle heavy for this type of song. Mrs. Lucille Mueller and Mrs. Burritt sang an unfamiliar aria from Madame Butterfly, the Every Flower duet, -quite acceptably. Following the intermission with Cortland Hultberg directing, a choir containing singers already mentioned and Susan- Dunham, George Ross, Mr. Bowker and Barry Liesh, sang Lloyd Burritt's 1967 opus, Kyrie, in its premiere performance. It was commissioned by the Berkshire Music Festival at Tanglewood, Mass. Like all works heard for the first time it would be better to wear a bit on listening ears before proper judgment can be formed. It did have its moments and it could stand up as church music. It may require polishing up. The National Film Board's Op Visuals, a multi-screen projection with Doug Elittk at the controls, can be described as unique but anything else to say about it would contain elements of controversy. The colored geometries were interesting but whether the entire performance heightens the status of the NFB might produce argument. The Lloyd Burritt song cycle Landscapes, of eastern U.S. coastal area, with Miss Hannay and Miss Oke aided(?) by the voices of the same pair reproduced from tape found an audience somewhat satiated by the previous Op Visuals less inclined to accept the unusual ��� as these Landscapes indisputably were. Tiring of the repetitious noises unassociated with the visual pictures one . normally has of countryside, the applause dwindled sharply towards the end. But ��� the situation was saved with the return of the choristers to close the program with Hal- sey Stevens Weep O Mine Eyes and four of the Hindemith Six Chansons with Mr. Hultberg directing. They dispersed the nightmarish effect of previous oddities and returned to music that sooths the savage breast. - F.C. Continued strong beef prices and lower lettuce, and tomato prices are forecast for August by economists in the Canada department of Agriculture. Here are the details of their food outlook for the monlth: EGGS: Egg prices have strengthened from a weak position and further small increases are likely as supplies decrease seasonally. 1 TURKEY: The 1967 heavy turkey crop has started to market and will be equal to last year. Price outlook is slightly weaker than a year ago. Broiler turkey marketings will be reduced, but storage stocks are larger. CHICKEN: Broiler chicken marketings will be up both seasonally and from last year. Little price change is expected from current level. PORK: Supplies continue plentiful and no immediate changes in prices are expected. BEEF: Under heavy seasonal demand, prices will continue strong at current levels. STONE FRUIT: Peaches and plums are expected to show smaller crops than last year, Coast News, August 3, 1967. with firm prices. APPLES: Early varieties will be available with general crop prospects equal to or better than a year ago.

If the village does not act then it may be advisable for the Regional District to step in. Conflicting engineering recommendations should be resolved. This is particularly necessary as in one recommendation Chapman Creek forms the source for both areas, and this would have an obvious effect on board policies. To make the best use of the available legislation consideration should be given to forming a Specified Area or Areas. The exact method of forming the area will depend upon the circumstances and the amount of money involved. Provisionally it would seem that a vote would have to be put to the people within a defined area asking them if they wish ed to form a Specified Area for the purpose of obtaining a bulk water supply and also, if known at the time and also desired, the amount of money required could be included. This must be in the form of a bylaw and it seems at present that this must be voted upon. It is not possible under the amended act to advertise, and vote if 10% of the taxpayers require it as was done in Comox. If this policy is to be followed. then it is suggested that action should take place to provide for referendums to be held at this year's election in December. It is not practicable or economical to hold separate referendums at other times if it can be avoided. I would suggest, he commented at the end of his report, that the board form a committee of the whole to discuss this, matter and bring forward recommendations for consideration at the next meeting. After debating the report the board decided to meet shortly as a committee of the whole and to hear Martin Dayton explain his preferring Chapman Creek over Langdale Creek for the area water supply.
