Sunday's,Canadian Folk Society, Vancouver branch ethnic dance program at Elphinstone school under auspices of the Sunshine Coast Community Arts Council drew an audience of close to 300 persons. They saw a colorful. troupe of 94 persons who came from Vancouver in two buses, perform dances of their native land. ; There were Polish, Russian, Croatian/, Ukrainian, Estonian, Filipino,. English, Irish , arid Scottish dances and. gymnastic displays. Harvey Gallaher was master of ceremonies and Mrs. EHa Gallaher program director. If there was a general choice from the audience it would most likely be the Filipino and Ukrainian dancing, which cap tured the imagination. The Ella Gallaher dancers iri their English, Irish and Scottish dances were by no means overshadowed by the larger ensembles of Slavic dancers. The Estonian girls with their Rhyth mic Gymnastics showed considerable skill in controlling their concerted actions. Some of the audience felt the stage was too bare for proper-effect but in some of the ensembles; if the stage space had been limited the dancers would.have been hampered. . Mirs. Doreene Ppckarichair- nian of tiie Arts Council con- grati���ated the artists on their performance and complimented the audience on its fine appreciation of what the performers had presented.

A payroll plus taxes Canfor News, a new Canadian Forest Products house organ has issued a surprisingly good first edition and one which would open the eyes of many of our citizens who do not realize the position CFP has in the community. Without wasting words; just dig in to the following paragraphs and read for yourself what CFP is to this section of the Sunshine Coast: "The payroll for Canfor operations on the Sunshine Coast is close to $5 million annually, a figure that is likely at least one **?*? of tne total income earned from primary industry in the region. Howe Sound Pulp employs 500 people. Cantor's Fleetwood Logging operations employ another 8E�� ri_en. "On the basis of an average family numbering four,* it can be assumed that Canfor jobs support'approximately 2,400 people, directly, or 25% of the total area population.. "Another 650 jobs in the supporting secondary* trading and service industries in the region can be attributed to the presence of Canfor employees. Directly arid iridirectly then, Can- *& ^������;��� m**or Jnfhierice in the economy of the Sunshine Coast. ITor school purposes the taxable assessed value of Canfor interests represented 30.5% of the total for the Sundiine Coast -Regional Districtvin 1972. 'P^PJ-o*^employees also play a significant rolein the life of the Sunshine Coast communities, in local government^ in charitable and public service organizations, and in clubs and recreation programs." If there is anything which should be criticized it would be placing the Roberts Creek-Gibsons-Langdal^ area in the southern part of the Sechelt Peninsula ��� a. geographic impossibility. Also Pender Harbor might not like having St. Mary'sHospital replace the one which was operating in Gibsons. The remainder of the issue really does a good job for the Sunshine Coast. , A down-east view Quite an interesting booklet entitled Canada ��� Adventure tours off the Canada Highway, from the govermeht travel bureau in Ottwa describes tours one can take province by province starting at British Columbia's Nanaimo. A tour front there to Jordan River takes in Ladysmith, Che/nainus, Duncan Victoria, Sooke and Jordan River. It describes the route ably and makes' interesting reading. . s When one reaches the Sunshine Coast with Squamish as Mile O it becomes more interesting. You .drive on (Route 99 to Horseshoe Bay. From there "you can take the seven-trips-daily 200 car ferry (additional sailings in summer and on holidays) across Howe Sound to Langdale and along Highway 101 to Gibsons, a small coastal village near off-shore Salmon Rock where king- . size salmon, weighing up to 40 pounds, have been caught. 'Continue on to Roberts Creek, Wilson Creek and the quaint little summer resort of Sechelt to Irviries Landing, another fishermen's dream and on to Earl's Cove where the ferry takes; you across Jervis Inlet to Saltery.Bay" We draw this to the attention of Sechelt's Mayor Ben Lang and chamber of commerce officials so that they may know that someone down east regards Sechelt as a quaint little summer resort. Maybe from an eastern point of view he could be right. Having perused various dictionaries for meanings of the word quaint it will be left to the reader to discover his or her own ideas of a quaint Sechelt. 5-10-20 years ago FIVE YEARS AGO Too many unlicensed dogs -are creating disturbances in Gibsons area, giving council a problem.

A, flaming red sun slips below a horizon tossed with dark brooding clouds. Almost instantly it is night. The stars in. the sky are strange ones, only three of the Dipper are visible far to the north. The air is as warm and as thick as it was during the day and under the starry sky it carresses the ship in a slight breeze. Activity begins. Scotland the Brave music filters into the night from the ballroom below. On the aft deck, to the beat of the throbbing engines and in the light of a tropical moon, Lassies do a Highland Fling. Tartans appear at the dinner table and with gusto the Haggis is piped in from the galley. The evening is a memorable if unusual entrance into the Southern hemisphere. Late that night the Arcadia crosses the International Date line. For her passengers .and crew, Friday January 2��, 1973 did not exist. We move from Thursday night into Saturday morning, suffering nothing more than another very pleasant weekend at sea before our arrival in Fiji. Oni Monday, Monteiro, our cabin steward, awakes us at the usual time of 7:30 for tea and biscuits before breakfast. A short time later Fiji's largest island smiles down upon lis. The surroundings are breathtaking. Mountains rise from the sea on three, sides - towering, steep, and cloaked in a dozen shades of lush tropical green - their summits lost in a crown of heavy grey clouds. Below the magnificence of the volcanoes lies the harbour - a lagoon of shining green water that . drinks up the reflections of the forested slopes above. The harbour entrance is half block ed by a great coral reef - a sweeping cresent of foaming . white where the blue Pacific meets the shining lagoon iri a frenzy of surf and spray/ .Dominating the scene is the. city of Suva. Situated at the : head of the harbour, opposite the reef arid flanked on each , side by green mountains; Suva awaits our arrival. Suva is termed the metropolis of the South Pacific. Capital of Fift its population of 54,000 is com posed of two main ethnic communities; the native Fiji- ans and a u large immigrant group of East Indians. As we approach shore, the first landmark to meet the eye is a long narrow cement quay running parallel to the shore. This is Kings wharf the only deep sea pier \ in the harr bour. Behind it lie a series of warehouses much like the old shed on the Gibsons wharf, looking as' though they had been built for World War Two supply movements and almost but not quite, abandoned Behind the warehouses sits the commercial part of the town, a collection of two and three story aging colonial structures built around clumps of palm and fig trees. And beyond, white -washed houses, some with thatched roofs and all with verandahs and pillars of wood creep up the moun tainside. March music drifts from the shore to greet us. In speridor of blue tunics and, white kilts the^ Royal Fijian Police Band plays and> parades, along the; "length''��� cullr, King's Wharf: ���% crol^i hasi gathered' and by the��� timie we �� pull alongside our berth, half the town has come down to meet us. A fabulous sight, the marching band, and behind it a sea of bright Polynesianand East Indian garb,arid a multi.-;. tude of welcoming fbrcesi Ashore, to a people and a lifestyle that are neither North American or European, arid to a country that is, in riiany ways *A_dan. We are iihmers- ��� ed into Polynesia. The intense heat, the stifling huxniditj^ the sounds, sights and smells of a foreign world close iii/ A huge market place has been set up between the warehouses and the town. < .-.������. <������ ��� Chants of merchants fill the air - selling everything from teakwood knives to shell jew- eHry. The sweet aromas of bananas, coconuts arid strange tropical fruits rise from amongst great wooden barrels of spices. The wharf is alive with activity and; colour as East meets West in. a mad inter-change of bartering, buy ing, selling andrnutual observation. ;'.��� '. ^; '������'���-.I Arising above 1 the handi- ��� crafts, foods and spices, colour ful saris and Fijian textiles looms the great white presence of the Arcadia - an inspiring backdrop to the scene. : Downtown next, to a collection of partiallypaved na'-*- - row streets ;filleo_.vw^ and open 'sided 1940 vintage buses (with passengers hanging onto the sides and out of the windows). Everywhere thereare people A /traffic policeman in; white ���. kilt ���:' and white��:��l^ this; irratic traffic' ^ himself could not conduct; a .frail and aged oriental man hurries across the street, a bamboo pole across his shoulders with bunches of hairy coconuts hung from each end, dodging flying jeeps as he' goes a half dozen children climb;} in arid but ��� of the warm harbour chasing ; zebra fish, laughing and soaking up the sun. until their eyes sparlcle. The mountainside behind Suva is bright with blooms and a thousand tropical birds bring music to the tree tops. The day?s wandering takes in; War memorial Hospital, built in 1914 its crumbling frame and open air wards seem as out of place in the late 20th century as do its nurses in Florence Nightengale costume; _the Parliament Building, a hollow;;. block of grey stone damp and: musty, riiany; windows without' glass and offices furnished in nothing more than a desk, a chair, and a slowly revolving double bladed fan in the- centre of each ceiling; and a cricket game. Only a few minutes walk along the waterfront from the crowd and bustle of central Suva, in all its green glory, lies a large cricket park. Players in sparkling white stand under the beating sun, then move in sudden bursts of throwing and running, then stand still once more. - * Beyond the crick!et park sweep the grounds of Government House. Vast iinmaculate lawns trimmed by tall straight v jpalriis, flowering shrubs and lily ponds rise to the summit Hbf a small mountain and the governor general's official residence. The cricket groimds and Government House together form what is, perhaps, the ;Iast sjrmbol of theJjriperial past of this newly' indenendant tropical paradise. ::-;\ The cricket game goes on while brilliantly clad sentries guard the curved, sloping, palm lined drive to the Coloni al mansion high above. . Clouds gather for a late afternoon tropical storm. Above the noise and excitement of the'market place the 4Arcadia gives, a iong deep call It is time to leave. Soon the Royal Police Band, this time in uniforms of Red and White, parade and play for us once more. The townspeople, who have ;beeri / so friendly and helpful duririg our stay, pour onto the wharf to wave goodbye. We slip away as the rain clouds descend from the mot���i tain tops and as the rays of the dying suri^ light a: sparkling path pri the sea >ahead, A saiil- boat accompanies us out beyond the reef. The' green mountains slide into the sea. Those of us who are lucky will return. - ���~ir^r^rio*"_c-_^~ir~ijxr^TjHjn_ru~trnriir^ i���ri~i~���*M~ir-|i~n~ir~i~ ~,~ ��� ��� ��� -������������ ��� ��� --.������������ ��� ��� ii���i���.��� -._��_��� Sunday Night-World Premiere!

O. Moore, surveyor of taxes. In a letter, he said land owners in Gibsons and Sechelt received revised assessment notices because the computer omitted applying an equalization factor in village roll. That made it necessary to run them through again. Mr. Moore added that as equalization factors were applied correctly in rural assessment rolls, no revised notices were sent to rural area owners. Gibson Girl & Guys Cuttin' _ Styling Centre Gower Point Road i ��� ��� .. . 886-2120 SUSAN & DULL ARTICLE NINE By the Institute of Chartered Accountants of BjC. As indicated in previous articles, capital gains taxation involves one general rule and then many exceptions to that rule. The exceptions for assets held on valuation day have been discussed previously; this article deals with some of the major exceptions. The ���icbrne Tax Act will deem the cost of any asset acquired for personal use (automobiles, furniture, paintings or stamp collections) as having a cost of at least $1,000 and, if disposed of, it will be considered to have been disT posed of. for $1,000. Thus any asset acquired for personal use for less than $1, 000 and sold for. less than $1,000 will toe neither considered to have a capital gain nor loss for tax purposes. Similarly, if the asset were sold for more than $1,000 it would only be the amount in excess of $1,000 that would be a capital gain for tax purposes The converse is only partial ly true, however. If the asset is sold for less than $1,000 the amount by which the cost exceeds $1,000 will not always be a capital loss. Losses on most types of personal property (automobiles, boats or furniture) are never, deductible for tax purposes. Listed personal use property is a separate type of personal use property, and only includes works of art, jewelry, rare books or manuscripts, stamps and coins. Gains and losses on listed personal use property are computed on the $1,000 deemed selling price rule, but losses on listed personal use property may be used for tax purposes as follows: (a) the losses may only be applied to gains on listed per sonal use property; and ' (b) the losses not deduct ible in the year may be applied to personal use property gains in the previous year or in the next five years. The; losses may not be carried forward indefinitely. - Prizes (won ironi lottery tickets are hot subject to ~^f W/W' jy J-s77 ^ ~rx ^s-^ 1 ���r No doubt about it Mr. Grimble, it's the worst ingrown toev nail I've every come across!

Hopkins Landing. Stan Bracewell, still active, alert and straight as a ramrod at 85. He apologized for the somewhat untidy appearance of the ��� place, admitting as chief cook and bottle washer, his at- . tendance to household chores - definately lacked the woman's touch, especially with Ws wife in a Vancouver hospital, recovering from a fractured hip. Born on the Isle of Man, Stanley was brought up within eight miles of Manchester, where every spare moment was spent at Buckley Hall, the rambling ancestral home of his grandparents. He recalls to this day the stately Elizabethan stone house with its third storey windows still blocked out to avoid the taxes imposed in earlier days, on all windows showing on buildings three storeys and over. It was at Buckley Hall, Oliver Cromwell and his round heads quar tered before the battle of Ashton Moss. Stanley ajlso recalls his father telling of a thrilling trip taken by his grandfather as a passenger on the first steam train from Liverpool to Manchester. .���'>.���.'. At the age of 15 the call of the sea asserted itself and young Stanley through his father's friend John Forsythe, was indent���red for four years to Messrs Thomas Law & Co. shipping agents for the Shire Line of sailing ships out of Glasgow. Four gruel���hg, event ful years were served before the mast, years that took young Bracewell across many seas and oceans around the globe*, all voyages on the . famous Shire Line sailing ships. In his travels he would round Cape Horn five times, sailing on the iPebbleshire, Selkirkshire and Fifeshire. In this, Stanley contends sailing around the Horn is not as tricky as navigating in the face of gale force winds encountered in running their Easter- lings down. BracewelTs longest single passage, took 142 sailing days. In his voyaging, Bracewell recalls putting in at Portugese- controlled Lorenco Marques on Delagoa Bay in East Africa. This was the terminus of Oom Paul Krugers rail line to Boer held Pretoria, the escape route taken by a young escaped prisoner of war (newspaper correspondent) Winston Church- hill, in the Boer war of 1001. On another voyage; again entering the harbor of Lorenco Marques, he sighted the historic three-master Cutty Sark, (then sold tQ the Portugese who cut her down to a bar kentine rig and renamed her the Ferarra. By ami act of provi dence, this grand old Clipper Ship survived this and other similar indignities, to find a permanent anchorage safely on dry land at Greenwich. His lafct ship was a four- masted Dundee Barque, on which he served as acting Second Mate. She was headed from Mexilones, Chili to Falmouth, for orders. He came ashore in 1908 to sit for his Mate's papers.

In the Irish Sea, his ship collided and cut a schooner in half. Fortunately no lives were lost, but as he was witness to the accident, he was held over on Belfast for the maritime hearing. On completion of the case, Bracewell was given the option of transportation to Australia or Canada. On the spur of the moment, he changed his travel plans and headed for Canada, at that time at the peak of immigration tide. He came straight out to Saskatoon, joined the town fire department and soon became its chief, with a bit of farming on the side. Within two years, wanderlust hit him again and so off to Australia, a passenger on board the original Royal mail- ship Orangi, then flagship of the New Zealand Shipping Company's fleet. They arrived in Sidney Harbor as the bells were ringing iri- the New Year, he made Iris way up country to Brisbane, which he had visited on four previous occa-' sions while on shore leave. Within a few months, the wanderer was glad to be back headed for Canada; this time Prince Albert, where he met and married Violet Hillkirk, a Lancashire lass just out from the old country. It was here, son Vince was born - again he was to go farming for five more years, before moving to Richmond, BJG. where for 17 years the Bracewells became fruit growers. The restless urge still on, took them to Haney in 1922, again to farming. In 1929 the depression forced them to West Vancouver, where Stanley was engaged on house construction. With declining ' employment the Bracewells moved to Co- mox again on housing construe tion. In 1951 they came with their family to semi-retirement and safe anchorage at Hopkins Landing.

Oyster take now limited Regulations governing taking of oysters from vacant Crown foreshore in British Columbia have been amended to reduce the number that can be taken or be in possession of persons for non-commercial purposes. Described as a general conservation move by the corrirner cial fisheries branch of the Department of Recreation and Conservation, regulations now state a person cannot take or have in his possession, from Crown lands, more than 25 oysters in the shell Or more than one -quart of shucked oysters in any one day. Anyone exceeding the possession limits is subject to prosecution under provisions of the Fisheries Act. The previous limits for rec- reationists were 100 pounds of unshucked oysters or one gallon of shucked oysters per person in one day. Vegetable soup easy to There is always a good supply of soup-making ingredients such as carrots, onions, rutabagas, celery and potatoes. Homemade vegetable soup is an easy and natural way to include these vegetables in daily winter menus. The secret of a flavorful soup is t0 extract the vegetable flavors by slowly -simmering the ingredients in water or bouillon. Seasoningjs, such as curry powder in carrot soups, lift a soup out of the ordinary flavor class. The "Carrot Soup" we feature today can be prepared at home with a miirimum amount of work by using an electric blender. The blender quickly purees and blends all the vegetables to a creamy smooth consistency. The ''Scotch Broth" is a meal in itself with the added meat. This good vegetable soup can also be made in a very short time using a pressure cooker.

Now, this means that either the office .has to lose 20% of its gross income or increase the fee structure so that the people who have paid their accounts subsidise those who haven't. Whilst many businesses find this quite satisfactory I am afraid that we consider this not only unethical but complet ely unfair. Secondly, since last year the federal government has seen fit to consider outstanding accounts as taxable income In other words one is expected to pay income tax on money that has not been received. If you consider that a dental offices overhead is between 45 and 60% of its gross income then to have outstanding accounts considered as net income is completely unrealistic. Again, if we were to have outstanding accounts we would be obliged to raise fees to pay interest on what would in fact be a loan to the federal govern ment. The policy that your reader complains of is designed to eliminate the very high expense of bookeeping and losses that are the inevitable results of unlimited credit. It not only saves us money but it saves him. money too. T. C. Webb, D. R. Bland. The Sechelt School District has developed a 10-point plan to deal with' learning disabilities among their students. [n outlining the proposal to the board, Hart Doerksen, supervisor of elementary instruc tion, said that 10 to 20 percent of the children on the district were probably affected by specific language disabilities (S_P), and some people put the figure as high as 40 percent.

J. Kidd, provincial director of lands the suggestion that the local public works representative should be approached to determine whether any action can be taken. The issue came before the Regional board last week ,in the form of a reply from Mr. Kidd. He also said that the actual administration of floating debris that is a hazard to navigation rests with the Department of Transport under the Navigable Waters Protection Act. The Regional board will send a copy of the letter to the local department of public works. - The legal notice by Canadian Forest Products at Port Mellon, published two weeks ago involving untreated effluent going into Howe Sound, resulted in the Regional District board at its meeting last week noting'letters from wildlife organizations and citizens querying this procedure. The board learned the application covered an outlet from the townsite, in operation for some years. An application for its operation is made each year wider pollution laws. Chairman Lome Wolverton said the company had plans in hand to rectify the problems created by old sewage outlets. 7824 IN FAVOR The B.C. Government Employees' Union' has voted 76 percent in favor of reaffimating to the B.C. Federation of Labor. BCGEU general secretary John Fryer said the results of a referendum vote on reaf���Uiation were 7,824 votes in favor and '2,412 against, with 18 spoiled ballots.' Coast News, Mar. 7, 1973. 9 i. Point of Law (By a Practicing Lawyer Copyright) A number of letters have been received enquiring about the unpaid sellers lieri. ��� Ther is no such thing under our law. A seller who sells an object cannot, if he does hot receive payment, exercise any lien over the object. He cannot, that is, seize the object in question. This rule may, at first glance appear harsh, but it must be borne in mind that the sellor has delivered the goods, without securing the sale price/ and other parties dealing with the buyer, for example, a later buyer of the goods, will assume that the first buyer owns them - because he has possession of them. Buyer may v become bankrupt. In this case, the goods become the possession of the trustee in banrupt- cy and the proceeds from the sale of them are available to satisfy creditors. The sellor can very easily secure his position by selling by way of the conditional . sale agreement of bill of sale and chattel mortgage. These will be the subject of a separate article. A lien is lost once possession is given. The right of lien in general, remains so long as the sellor has 'possession. There may be a perfectly valid sale of a large bulky object, let us say a steam shovel, wit- out possession passing to the buyer. The buyer can't pick such an object up and take it with hirii and in such cases usually makes arrangements to return later with a truck to take possession. The sellor does not have to give possession till he is paid. An unpaid sellors hen does exist, however, where possession has been parted with tb; a carrier. Let lis 'say sellor has sold to buyer with no definite arrangements concerning credit and sellor is to ship the goods by rail from Vancouver to buyer in Calgary. Sellor, after parting with possession of the goods to the carrier learns of buyer's insolvency. He or his agent may take the goods off the train at, say, Banff. Buyer, however, may steal a march if he learns of sellor's intention and obtains possession of the goods from the railroad company at, say, Revelstoke. Moral - Don't sell unless you are either paid or somehow secured by the right to seize. Ferry traffic More than 200,000 motor vehicles used the ferry service from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale last year, Highways Minister Bob Strachan informed the legislature. The actual figure he said was 205,000. He added that the run tb Bowen Island handled 43,000 cars and the Nanaimo run 380,000. In all the cars moving through Horseshoe Bay outbound numbered 1,254,675 compared to 1,132,590 in 1971. Of these 953,000 were private cars compared with 849,000 in 1971.

In the, spring when the^snow melted, they discovered they had pre-empted alkali land so they gave it up. From then on they rented farms. Mrs. Beeman often reminisces about itinerant gangs. "Their caravan was pulled by the huge steam tractor followed by* the threshing iriachine and bunk houses. Froni a dis- tarice, it looked much like a train winding its way across the prairies. After losing her husband and living through some of the worst years of the depression,, the family moved to Okana- gan in 1934.
