First of all, septic tanks and N rock pits must be emptied and . back-filled with dirt to prevent possible cave-ins. Public health regulations require ten feet separation between the house water service and the house sewer service .line. - Preparation of the trench for the sewer will be done by a contractor hired by the house holder. All phases of thecon- . struction will be supervised by an inspector. > ' ' All costs paid for by. the * householder will cover the area from the property line to the house connection. The following type of pipe conforming to current ASTM specifications arev acceptable for service connections: (a) Cast iron-soil pipe CSA approved; (b) Asbestos-cement building sewer pipe with O-ririg joints; (c) Vitrified.clay --flex-lpx joints, glazed,, extra strength; (d) Polyvinyls chloride' _��� CSA-approved, rigid pipe with rubber gasket "joints, or, :other; approved methodi^f Tpmtihg.

The grade for the sewer connection pipe shall be a minimum of Va inch per foot of run. More detailed information will be available for the. public from a mailing piece which will be sent out by Dave Johnston, municipal clerk. It is estimated the sewer connection at the street line will cost $150 and that the cost to the householder from that point to the house will depend On the distance the house is from the street line: It is estimated, the average cost of connecting the'house to the system could run ; from $250 up according to the nature, of -work*to be done.

Roberts Creek niariiia turned down J; Gt Warn's application for rezoning of an area at the mouth ]of Roberts Creek from Residential' to commercial' for marina purposes was * turned down by the Regional District board meeting last week. Director Harry Almond reported *rhe' had received a petition from Roberts Creek area residents objecting to the proposed zoning. The planning committee, noted that the objection was consistent with the opinion of the advisory planning coinmittee. Further the planning committee recommended a letter to, the department of lands urging that the foreshore lease at Roberts Creek be cleared to standards of the federal arid provincial'fisheries agericies. In a letter to the boatd signed by Sharon Criaig^Lockyer Road, she wrote: -lahy resi dents of Roberts Creek are aghast at such a loss of what would make ideal park land. Also we are concerned over the ecological damage that would ensue from the disturbance of the creek and the oil and gas which would "be spread to the one sandy beach left to the residents. "We strongly urge the Regional board to purchase this land for a park and would i hope the most important function of the Regional board would be to search for and purchase, suitable lands for parks and green belts." Mayor, alderman, differ Local people should! have firat priority in obtaining leased land.. This is a^recommendation which the Regional District board will place before the provincial lands'* department. The issue came; up at last week's board meeting when the plahnihg eojninittee after recommending local applicants first, requested a list of areas for leasing be forwarded to the Regional District so the information could be passed on within the area, prior to post ing the information with the land commissioner.

A lands department application for an extension to Smit- ty's Marina water area and a lease renewal from R. Hammond were _iscussed. Smit- ty's application was approved, on a one year basis. It had been held in abeyance due to possible harbor development but the lands branch will not consider further delay through abeyance. The Hammond lease was also, approved on a one year basis. The commission from the sale of motor vehicle licenses has been raised from three to four percent by the provincial motor vehicle branch. This will increase the village take more thari $100 yearly.

The Toronto Globe and Mail has taken a look at British Columbia's Bill 42, the Land Commission Act and has decided that compensation as far as agricultural land is concerned is the remaining sore point. However the paper's editorial writer finds there is some good in the measure. The editorial concludes in this manner: "The Act, nevertheless, is improved by the amendments. Perhaps if they had been included in the origin- al bill, the public uproar which ensued could have been avoided; but more probably not. The government may irierely, like other governments have done from time to time, have introduced an unpopular measure in a highly unpopular form, so that when the least acceptable parts were corrected by amendment, the medicine would slip down without too much public objection. "How British Columbia accepts the medicine in its new form will be of interest in all provinces. Each must eventually do something about the preservation of farm land and the use of land generally. British Columbia is Canada's guinea pig." The West appointment Election of Director Frank West of the Sunshine Coast Regional District as a member of the Municipal Finance Authority of British Columbia, if put in proper' perspective, is a distinct privilege for the Sunshine Coast. We have a direct representative on the province-wide Municipal Finance Authority. There are larger municipalities or Regional Districts which> carry heavier weight in municipal affairs than does the Sunshine Coast. Be that as it may the financing of the Regional District and its hospital and other institutions has felt the hand and mind of Frank West on its operations. He is also in a top position as financial adviser to Canadian Forest Products at Port Mellon. The Finance Authority is composed of seven representatives, four of which are mayors in their respective communities such as Victoria, North Vancouver and Burnaby. , During the last two years the authority has sold bond issues valued at $44.9 million for regional districts and municipalities at rates lower than they could obtain on their own. There is no way of brushing aside the capabilities of Mr. West when it comes to discussing financing or digesting a financial situation. So let us on the Sunshine Coast offer our respects to a man of such stature he has been selected to serve as a director on a finance authority which, affects quite a large section of B.C. populace. 5-10-20 years ago ing March produced 4.10 inches of precipitation.

Sixteen days with rain dur- BY STEVEN LEE New Zealand's North Island stretches 300 miles beyond Auckland into an area known as the winterless north- land. It was here that the coun try was born and it is here I begin my explorations. The first European settlers arrived in New Zealand in the early HffOO's and established themselves in the far north around the Bay of Islands. The pioneers occupied themselves in farming (agriculture flourished) and in trade with the ��� whaling vessels. They had come from Australia and Europe - but, unlike the Australians, came by choice and not exile. By 1840 their numbers, territory and trades had swelled. Missionaries and arms traders poured into the new land arid brought disaster to the Maori civilizations, (intertribal war, chaos and death to a land, that had known peace and prosperity for generations. Meanwhile, Australian and British interests grew. A British governor was sent from New South Wales to 'Waitangi to safeguard the interests of British settlers. Several other European powers also had interests ' in the area/ and the Americans were never far away. On Feb. 5-6, 1840 the Great Chiefs of the North Island Maoris gathered in front of Governor Hobson's residence at Waitangi to decide their fate Hobson proposed, that the chiefs sign a treaty which, in effect, would deprive them of their own sovereignty to Queen Victoria. In return, the Crown would guarantee the Maoris possession of their held lands, forests and fisheries and bestow to them the rights and privileges of British subjects. ' After niuch debate, and in the interest of ending the anar ohy that raged throughout their land, the Maori chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi and pledged their loyalty to Victoria, Empress of India, and ' New Zealand became a new '< colony within the Empire. The first thing I had to learn about hitch-hiking in New Zealand was finding the right side of the road to stand on in order to obtain a ride in the direction I wished to go. It sounds simple enough but New Zealanders drive on the left-hand side of the road - with the exception of downtown Auckland at rush hour. Despite handicaps I was extremely lucky with rides. In half an hour the great urban sprawl of Auckland had disappeared to be replaced 'by >'. some of the world's most beau tiful countryside; rolling hills, forests, pastures - or as New Zealanders call them paddocks and unending miles of cliffs and sand beaches. An hour north of Auckland lies Warivera.. Here the Pacific cuts into the land to form a small pleasant cove. Around it are high steep hills that release a small stream into the sea. The road winds down from the hilltops, touches the head of the cove, and then climbs back up into the hills. Every inch is thick in dense green forest but for a small cluster of buildings between the sea and the road. On this spot are to be found some of New Zealand's many natural hot springs. The spring water has been fed into a series of pleasant cement swimming pools, each pool a different water temperature. Surrounding the pools are a multitude of aromatic tropical blooms and rustling pa_np. The afternoon sun hovered above the hibiscus as I slipped into the steaming muscle-relaxing water. On the road again towards Northland's major town of Whangari. (After many strange looks from efforts such as whang gary I learned the correct pronunciations of fan- ga-ray.) Early February was the beginning of a major drought that is continuing at the. time of writing. Northward it be came hot and dry; the grass golden yellow and the trees still under a heavy coat of dust. Inland, the climate took on Sahara characteristics with clumps of fern and stunted trees in the parched fields adding to the Kenya highlands effect. The highway worked its way inland through the hills and grasslands and then eastward again toward the Pacific. About 20 miles south of Whan- garei the highway reaches the crest of the uplands. This is Pilbrow Hill. The land sweeps down from Pilbrow Hill like a massive apron to the sea. Meadows and forest cover the landscape in a descending patchwork of gold and green until the patterns meet the clean white line of Waipu beach and the dark blue Pacific beyond. This was the scent that became the home and resting place of much travelled Nova Scotian settlers who came to iSTew Zealand from the Mari- times over a century ago. .On to Whangaree for a short stop. A city of 30,000 people, it is the main commercial centre north of Auckland. The trading arid business nub for the surrounding dairies, mixed farms and sheep ranches, it is also the home of New Zealarids major oil refinery at nearby Marsden Point where giant tankers bring crude oil from overseas. The city boasts a thriving boat industry and is world reknown for its building ^repair and refitting facilities for sailboats and yachts - acclaimed to be the best such facilities in the South Pacific. Inland again from Whan- garei to the town of Kawa- kawa 'by way,of little travelled winding country roads. There are no towns or villages between the two points and the environs are occupied only by sheep and sweet smelling forests. This is the land of the giant Kauri tree that rivals California's redwood Sequoias in enormity, and, like the Sequoia, has almost vanished through man's greed and _bufie of nature. f ���������,..S,,... ���;.���:,. ' From Kawa , kawa to the coast once more to Paihia and Waitangi. Friendly and fascina ting Northlanders had brought me to the doorstep of this historic sight on the very eve of, what the Prime Minister would proclaim the next day as New Zealand's National Birthday. Paihia clings to the shore as if the sea, in a generous mood, had sucked it from the very depths and flung it to the base of the green wooded hills behind. A ��� narrow winding road climbs through the hills from Kawa kawa and drops to the Bay of Islands. Here, where that road touches the warm waters and the spar.���ing sands and where it clings to the waves for two miles, lies the village and its 200 citizens. At the end of the road on a headland that juts out into the Bay is Waitangi, a park that's mostly forest, the Treaty House that was Governor Hob- son's residence in 1840, and For Real ��sfafe on the Sunshine Coast K, CROSBY CHARLES ENGLISH LTD. Sunnycrest Shopping Centre . Gibsons��� 886-2481 the lawns that form the Treaty grounds. ���.....��� The warm clear sea, the white clean sand, the polished exotic shells that sparkle underfoot in the sun, and the hills of twisted Pohutu Kawa trees are as much a part of Paihia as the Post Office, the Bella Vista Restaurant and the Grocery store. Gibsons has grown away from the sea; Sechelt has turned, its back upon it - but Paihia belongs to the ocean. Paihia was to become my first home in New Zealand and I could not have chosen a better sight. Ideal climate, spectacular setting and friendly, sincere people who made a visitor feel immediately at home combined to ensure a memorable stay. Within 24 hours of my arrival the peace and obscurity of Paihai and Waitangi would be for a short time, broken. I soon found myself at the stage of festivities and at the focal point of the nation's attention, the anniversary celebrations. N. Richard McKibbin A PERSONAL INSURANCE SERVICE NOW AT NEW LOCATION.

OVC O Coast News, April 4, 1973. Parliament Hill (By HARRY OLAUSSEN Federal NDP Candidate) Allegations that unemployment insurance recipients are being tricked and coerced into disqualifying themselves have been brought to the attention of members of Parliament. Hundreds of benefit control officers have been double-checking UIC claims all across Canada since last year. Recipients are asked a series of questions and are required to sign a statement Written by the officer describing their availability, efforts to obtain work and other related factors Often people ' don't understand the questions . and the result is a signed statement full of unintentional halftruths Here in the riding of Coast- Chilcotin men and.women, living in isolated areas, or areas in which few employment opportunities exist, are required to show proof that they are actively seeking work with the result that many have been disqualified due to overzeal- ous investigators. To me the act discriminates against such people. It is unfortunate that the ones who have taken unfair advantage of their unemployment insurance benefits are always in the spotlight, while a great number of people, many of whom have written me, find themselves in impossible situations . with families to support and hardly any mon ey to live on. These are the pathetic cases that are all too often ignored by those who are prone to criticize the Unemployment Insurance Act. Now it doesn't help to register with Manpower for a job. Tm told that in itself is not sufficient. A person gets some kind of form in which he has to register the names of the employers to whom he went, -the date of seeking work at those places of employment and the response. All of which is fine if you live in Vancouver and there are a number of employers that can be reached within walking distance. But if you live in the smaller communities of this riding the situation is quite different. First the claimant has to travel some distance to find these potential employers. Then, he or she has to be prepared to move from the home community to the place of employment. Such is not the case if one lives in Vancouver and doesn't have to move himself and his family if a job is found in the area. The only suggestion I can make to people who are disadvantaged by this discriminatory system is to go to every employer you can, even though that employer may not employ people with your skills, and not���y the commission of this. If your skills are as a can nery worker you may have to apply for work in a sawmill. If you are a logger try applying for work in a bakery even if you don't know anything about baking. In other words, do not restrict yourself in anyway as to kind of work or place of work. This is the only way you can do it if you don't want to be disqualified. If anyone has any problems regarding his or her unemploy ment insurance do not hesitate to write to me c/o House of Commons, Ottawa, giving me all the details such as social all the details such as social insurance number, reason for disqualification, non-payment of benefits, etc. Whatever the circumstances, I will look into the matter and try to do something about it.

A motion passed by the Ok- anagan board urged that con_- apnies constructing easements for pipelines, or roads, or clearing land for subdivisions where there are known Indian" paintig stes, must be made aware that these sites must not be disturbed or destroyed. Further that trohg recommenda- <��� ions be made to the proper government authorities to change the routes so as to preserve the paintings, or that the rock or a portion of the rock containing such paintings be moved to a suitable location for preservation. The Sunshine Coast board has taken the matter under advisement with action to follow. TOPS warned to avoid gains The keynote of Gibsons TOPS recent meeting was the election of what was termed young blood, to the executive. The election followed a luncheon with a floral head table centrepiece donated by John Harvey. Members appreciate the work done by those who arranged the luncheon, prepared the food and set the tables. Besides the winning dieters, the new executive was congratulated along with TOPS queens both past and present. Members are invited to remember that no gains in weight are allowed this week.

The usual situation is that both husband and wife want a divorce but neither of them have committed adultery, which is a common, if not the usual grounds for divorce. The proposal usually is that one party will go to, say, Nevada, California or Mexico and obtain a divorce there, where the grounds are much broader and sometimes virtually non-exist ent, and then return to Canada. , A: Canadian law will usually recognize the decrees of a foreign court, if the decree is validly obtained by the law of the foreign jurisdiction. There are, however, several important exceptions in the law of marriage and divorce. One is that the petitioner, the person suing, must establish domicle in the foreign jurisdiction let us say California, and that such domicile must be established according to the rules of Canadian law and not according to the law of California. The California rule .may, for example, be that it is merely necessary to prove six weeks residence. The Canadian rule regarding domicile is that one must not only prove residence but a permanent intention to remain within the jurisdiction of the court out of which the suit arose. If Mary Doe were, by the laws of California, to validly and lawfully obtain a divorce from John Doe, and Mary Doe' was domiciled in Canada, the divorce would be completely valueless. The parties/would thus still be married. Any other marriage contracted by the parties would be subject to being declared void in an action for annulment and either Joh or Mary Doe would also, under certain circumstances, be subject to prosecution for bigamy. There would also be no end of legal complications arising out of the birth of any children and inheri- -tance;- - :'^'-'���**- "���-���-- Church Food survey April food supplies reported by the Economics Branch, Agri culture Canada, Ottawa.

Relf objects Recommendation by the Regional District board's planning cornmittee that Cliff Gilker be appointed as a member at large to the planning committee drew a protest from Director Rita Relf (Halfmoon Bay )that as a member, of that committee she was not aware of the meeting. The matter was turned over to the executive committee for study. She also objected to the refusal of the committee to allow a member of Gibsons Wildlife Club to sit in on committee meetings, suggesting an analogy in the two cases.
