C. 1 byDOUGSEWELL Two weeks ago. the Sunshine Coast Justice Council met to discuss the issues of capital punishment and gun control. The results of that meeting should be well known by now. the council voted 32-7 for retention of the barbaric . practice of hanging. If there has ever been a case of proven pre-rhedhated, first degree murder surely it will result from the decisions of bodies such as this 'Justice Council'. The 'eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth' syndrome was first legalized by Hannibal nearly 3000 years ago. Since that time our methods of justice have progressed considerably but unfortunately we have never quite freed ourselves of the barbarism this edict implies. In many cases we have fallen into even worse practices. If I slug someone in the jaw I will probably go to jail for two or three years instead of just being able to let him take a crack at me. Capital punishment reached it's peak under the Roman Empire of Augustus Caesar, the Circus . Maximus was a life and death struggle that provided the 'punishment of death' for failing to win a contest of skills. The story of Christ's cruxifiction tells of their attitude towards 'petty crime'. The early Christians tried to follow Christ's teachings about 'turning the other-cheek' but it wasn't long before they began to realize that 'might was right' and it is under the later 'Christian Emperors' such as Nero that we find the most decadent period of Roman History. Christianity continued to be the main proponent of 'Capital Punishment' until modern times. The Crusades showed a barbarism and a lack of respect for human life that was to be unequalled until this century and under the infamous Spanish and French Inquistions the 'Punishment of Death' was applied to thousands of Jews and Infidels whose only crime was that they were 'making the world unsafe for pious people.' Though these cases all apply to a world much different than our own, they show the effects that a lack of respect for human dignity and life can have on a society. The excuses have always been much similar to those raised at the Justice Council meeting, but it is not logical to blame the criminal for the downfall of a society that has more often than not been responsible for shaping his personality and breeding his contempt of the law. It has only been forty years since 'Germany allowed one of the greatest criminals of all time to lead it to destruction. Hitler rose to power by playing on these same fears of crime t and brutality that Canadians are now reacting to so strongly. A man who is willing to take the 7 life of another man because it 'might' prove a deterrent \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd..i to others contemplating the , same crime is a dangerous ';\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd man to have in power. It is inter- ; esting that the only crime, other \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdy than murder, to still carry 7 the death penalty is treason. 7 Capital punishment along with . such antiquated laws as the War Measures Act are leaving us (. open to a 'Hitler' who can play on our fears. The leaders of all three national parties have declared their opposition to capital punishment. It would be easy for a fourth, more radical opposition to get a firm hold by supporting the rapidly growing 'string'em up' faction. The main danger to our society lies in our reverting to the barbaric practices of the past not in our attempts to create a better future. No benefit has ever been realized by inflicting capital punishment, the murder rate has been steadily rising since accurate records have been kept. The more complex a society becomes, the more frustration, tension and mental illness is created. There are few people in their right minds who are willingxto murder just for personal gain. Though capital punishment has failed to show any definite benefits there are many cases were it has shown it's faults and many instances where 'murderers' have evaded justice or later been pardoned and have proved to be worthwhile citizens. I can think of at least three families on the Sunshine Coast who firmly believe their fathers or grandfathers were on the run from British Law when they came to this part of the world. The skills and talents these men brought to the new communities proves my contension that a man is not worthless to society until he is dead. In the cases of Australia and French Guiana modern nations were built by the men who chose to remain in the penal colonies after their sentences were over, many of these men had once been doomed to the gallows but instead had been sentenced to transportation. If a nation allows the 'Legal Execution' of any man they immediately open the doors to the 'Alternate Justice' of the accused. It must be remembered that the Crown serves as a father figure to the nation. If a father includes his teenage (Continued on Page 3) Sunshine Coast Published at Gibsons, B.C.

Sechelt re j cct s ffno growth\" proposal At a public meeting of the Sechelt Vicinity Planning Committee on Sunday afternoon, an audience of about 50 local citizens considered three proposals for the future growth of Sechelt. The Vicinity Planning Committee, represented by Regional Planner, Adrian Stott, Doug Roy, a local engineer and surveyor and Regional Board Directors Morgan Thompson (Sechelt) and Barry Pearson (Davis Bay) explained that the plans were intended to be a broad outline; ofiihe type ;df growth 77 the community desired. This would then give the Board an indication of what the residents wanted Sechelt to become so that planning could be designed to fit future needs. The three choices as presented at last Sunday's meeting were a Regional Town, Public Recreation Centre and a Resource Development Centre. The Regional Town idea was designed to inhibit the growth of the area by making businesses that didn't directly supply goods and services for the .local;ccromumtyt unwekome, in Sfcat-a-thon to raise money for youth groups The first annual Skat-a-thon at the Sunshine Coast Arena is scheduled for April 10. The skat-a-thon has been organized to raise money for minor hockey and figure skating clubs. The public is invited to participate either as a spectator to encourage and cheer on a favorite skater, or as a participating skater. The object of the skat-a-thon is to skate as many laps as possible in a one hour time period. Several dignitaries from the Sunshine Coast are expected to take part in the skat-a-thon. Representatives of Gibsons and Sechelt council will be challenged as well as fire chiefs, police, chairman of the Regional Board, representatives of the Lions Clubs, the Kiwanis club, Kinsmen club, cirling club and any other club or organizations who wish to enter or sponsor a skater. To give sponsors an idea of how much to pledge on skaters, officials of the skat-a-thon say it is not expected to have anyone doing 150 laps in the one hour period except in the 14 to 18 year category.'Even then, officials say, few will complete that goal. They add that \"It is doubtful any adult hockey player. will endure such a physical task but from the grapevine it has been rumored that the new arena manager, Ernie Kos; is willing to challenge these fellows.\" \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Eight different categories have been established, the first starting at 8 a.m. and the last starting at 5 p.m. A detailed time schedule appears on the Sports Page. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd the area. Tourist developments and industrial sites would be discouraged though some light industry would still be allowed. The benefits of this pain would be a small town atmosphere and a quieter, less tourist orientated commerce. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The second plan, a Public Recreation Centre allows for the development of a major Provincial Park along Sechelt Inlet for which Sechelt would become the resource centre, Adrian Stott stressed that'this park would not -Lbe*: automobile. ^Jxiented 7: but: , 7 would insteatf be developed more for camping~ and use by. foot, passengers on a proposed new direct Vancouver - Sechelt passenger service. Commercial tourism would not be allowed to expand to any great extent but it would be necessary for Sechelt businesses to grow to meet the increased demand for accomodation and supplies. This plan represented the middle of the road, medium growth option. The final plan, a Resource Development Centre calls for a rapid development of both the tourist and large industrial areas. A plan to excavate the huge gravel deposits on the east side of the town would be allowed and commercial tourism in the form of small boat harbors, marinas and campgrounds would be encouraged. It was envisaged by the committee that this plan could mean an eventual population for Sechelt in excess of 20,000 residents. The group that--attended last Sunday's meeting was quick to reject the no growth philosophy of the Regional Town idea but it was obvious that neither the Public Recreation, nor the Resource Development options were much more attractive. The general feeling of the meeting .seamed fistojjbe that -the 4>est | i; solution \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd; was a compromise ' between these two ideas. After two or three requests from the floor the committee finally asked that a 'straw vote' be taken. The results were: Regional Town 3, Public Recreation Centre 17, and Resource Development Centre 10. Quite a .few people failed to vote because they could not closely identify with any of the proposed options. It was commonly felt that it was impossible to hold back growth and development without entirely stagnating in the process and it was feared that if employment opportunities were not increased it would become impossible to convince young people to stay in the area. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Among other possibilities (Continued dn Paoe 4) GOING OVER IT one more time for nostalgia's sake is Elphinstone geography teacher Frank Fuller.

MLA urges Davis to keep ferries Gibsons Council briefs Sewer function creates problems Regional District Area A director. Jack Paterson said this week that he is concerned over the problems that are arising with the Regional District taking over the function of overseeing the\" maintenance of the sewer systems. The provincial government used to handle this job by sending out an inspector each month to check that the maintenance forms had been properly kept up but recently Victoria decided this was too costly and the buck has now been passed to the Regional District. It is expected to cost the taxpayer another Vi mill. Areas A and C have hot yet signed this agreement and Paterson feels that it will be necessary to call a public meeting because the Pender Harbour-Egmont area has never given the Regional District the right to tax them for this service. The\" situation could soon become urgent because when a resort in that area changes ownership, under present circumstances, it would be prohibited from re-opening because of a lack of a Health Certificate. The date of the public meeting should be announced scon. In his report to council, Aid. Bill Laing said he would like to see at least another $100,000 added to next year's budget for road reconstruction as local byways are in rather rough shape. Aid. Laing went on to say that the sewage treatment plant, in January and February processed 3,602,000 gallons of effluent and that within the next few months, the sewer system will be nearing its peak workload, approximately 164,220 gallons per day. The contract for clearing two acres of land for the municipal works yard, dog pound and pump house has been awarded to Shoal Developments of Gibsons. The cost, which was not disclosed, includes clearing of timber and lengthening of the road. The land is located- near the corner of Henry and Reed roads. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Aid. Jim Metzler presented the wharfinger's report for Jack Richardson and disclosed that the council is subsidizing the wharf for about $200 per month. Last month, revenues were $1128, and costs were $1326.15. Legal proceedings are being taken against five boat owners who have not yet paid their wharfage fees. Sue more letters have been received by Gibsons council concerning the neighborhood pub proposal of MTR Holdings. All six were in favor of the plan. There was further development on the proposed pub in the former Flowerlaine Store on Gower Point Road. The proponent, Mr. Davies who impressed on council that he had managed several pubs and hotels-in his career, said the design was\/that of a true English pub, with a long bar, a free, full- sized billiard table, dart boards, crib boards, shuffleboard and a 30 square foot TV screen for sports events. The pub would be geared to the tastes of older people and would be for quiet drinking only as there .would be no jukebox or live bands; only piped in recorded music. As there are only 11 parking spaces available, 'the focus would be on .the non-driving drinker. Complete plans have not yet been drawn up, and it was suggested to Mr. Davies that he contact the Liquor. Administration Branch before he became too involved in his planning. Don Lockstead, New Democratic MLA for Mackenzie, last week urged Transport Minister. Jack Davis to reconsider his decision to sell three ferries which provide a vital service to the people of coastal British Columbia. He said the sale of .the Prince George has angered coastal residents who were anxious that it be put in operation this summer. \"No sooner had Mr. Davis dashed their hopes, when he announced that he would get rid of the Queen of Surrey and the Langdale Queen,\" Mr. Lockstead said. . ' The Queen of Surrey, an ocean going ferry bought in Sweden two years ago, has been operating on the Horseshoe Bay-Nanaimo run but was intended to be moved to the Kelsey Bay-Prince Rupert run when new Gulf ferries are completed within the next few months. Mr. Lockstead said the additional ferry on the Prince Rupert run is \"essential and, to do away with it, threatens an established transportation route which cannot be serviced by the present ferry alone.\" He said he is amazed at how shortsighted the Social Credit government appears to be in divesting itself of its only back-up ocean going vessel. \"It is certainly not the businesslike way they talked about during the campaign,\" he said. The third vessel, the Langdale Queen, which runs betweeA Horseshoe Bay and the Sunshine Coast, was already scheduled to be replaced. While he recognized that the ferry is now \"running on a hope and a prayer,\" he urged Mr. Davis not to take the ship out of duty before adequate replacement is found. \"Mr. Davis must understand that for thousands of British Columbians living on the coast, ferries are not a frill or an entertainment. They are,a necessity of life,\" he said. Celebrations need help Pender Harbour Mayday Referendum to be held on swimming pool It appears the Gibsons Kins-> men swimming pool project has been further delayed because council has decided that the matter will have to go to public referendum. The referendum would take place at the next municipal election in November of this year and include regional district areas E and F. Members of the Kinsmen club appeared before council last February in the hope of obtaining approval for the $600,000 swimming \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdpool project. Kinsmen have agreed to pay the capital cost of the project but asked the village to take over the operating costs once the pool was completed. The village would have to provide an estimated $10,000 out of a recreational budget to cover the yearly operating deficit. At that time council felt the surrounding regional district areas should also contribute to the operating deficit because residents living in those areas would be using the pool. The swimming pool would be located on village property adjacent to the Winter Club curling rink. After nearly 50 years of Pender Harbour Mayday celebrations it looks as though the famous ceremony at Madeira Park is finally to be cancelled. Organized Phyllis Kuntson said last week that the handful of people still interested in helping out cannot possibly cope with all the preparations. They are now looking for a group or organization that would be interested in taking on the job, but so far the prospects are dim. The Mayday Celebrations were begun about 1930 and have traditionally included sports events, bingo, games, Softball and teen and adult dances. It would be a shame to see the celebration fall by the wayside after so many years, so get together a group of your friends and; call Phyllis Knutson at 883-2406. Sea Cavalcade Although summer may still be some time away, there are a few people in Gibsons who are already starting to wonder about this year's Sea Cavalcade. Who will be organizing it? Qualifications for organizers, including the co-ordinator, are simple \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd interest and enthusiasm. And a little bit of time, of course. An entire organizing committee and a co-ordinator are needed now to get things rolling. Lois McLean, last year's Sea Cavalcade secretary, said she wouldn't mind taking on the same job if required.

When a person seems noticeably humble we wonder what he or she is really up to. And when we are not suspicious of humility we tend to dismiss it as something soft and doormat- tish, as something not quite wholesome and normal. There is the man who ostentatiously exudes modesty like cheap perfume as he belittles his achievements. But he smiles becomingly when anyone mentions them. Oliver Hereford defined modesty as \"the gentle art of enhancing your charm by pretending not to be aware of it.\" There is the woman who goes through life being \"poor-little-me \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd the crushed daisy-type who uses her apparent helplessness and meekness, her subtly aggressive humility, for getting her own way. Then there is the person \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Dickens' Uriah Heep is the classic instance \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd who wears a camouflage of humility over his ruthless desire to rule any'roost on which he finds himself. Self-deprecation is often a subtle form of self-assertion and self-aggrandizement. This common ploy was demonstrated by the man who, when asked by a psychiatrist if he had any day-dreams of self-importance, replied \"Oh no! I think much less of myself than I really am.\" In both traditional moral philosophy and traditional theology humility is not in the ostentatious putting-down of the self but the self-forgetfulness which sustains the compassionate service of the needs of others, not in grovelling before other persons but in serving their real good. You are not humble when you are concerned about whether or not you appear to be humble: that kind of thing is, in the final analysis, a subtle form of arrogance. It is a certain sign of arrogance to say, \"How very good of me to be so humble.\" N'est-ce pas? It seems occurences such as the recent CBC application for a French television station has perhaps spurred on some paranoia among the aldermen at a certain village council. The village of Parksville has written letters to both Gibsons and Sechelt councils, and presumably to other councils in this province, asking endorsement of a letter to Premier Bennett. The letter recommends to the Premier that English be adopted as the official language of British Columbia. i Both Sechelt and Gibsons councils made little comment on the matter and with a little chuckle filed Parksville's letter into dusty files of what one alderman termed ' 'the deep six.\" To the Village of Parksville we say: A waste of time and paper. N'est-ce pas? A promising partnership Many of the old cliches, with which we are all too familiar, have a special ring of gloomy truth about them these days. Just a quick look at the world situation today, and the anomalies in it, will prompt even optimists to comment that \"it's darkest before the dawn.\" A pessimist on the other hand, will dourly proclaim that \"it will get worse before it gets better.\" \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd What even that quick look shows is that, after a period of unprecedented growth, Western Europe now has its highest unemployment in decades. We know as well as any that Canada and the United States are in the same boat. Despite their soaring incomes, even the oil-rich Middle Eastern cou tries have found themselves in trouble. Their plans for spending these new found riches were just too ambitious and now, suddenly, some of them are borrowing money. After many years of trouble, Britain has at last entered a period of economic crisis. Lawlessness, factional strife, armed conflict and confrontation between labor and management have become the order of the day. Even optimists look unhappy and any pessimist will intone dolefully that there \"is no light at the end of the tunnel.\" Yet it is under just such conditions that human beings respond best. History is full of \"darkest hours\" overcome, as will be the future. During such times.the better idea is forced to the surface. It may not necessarily be a new idea, but always it assumes new significance because of the conditions under which it has flowered. Often such an idea will spring forth in many places at once. From many diverse places, some of them completely unexpected, has come an idea which is beginning to find a great deal of support. The thought is simple: That government, business and labor have common, complementary goals and that co-operation, not confrontation, would be better for everyone. This idea is based upon the understanding that business, labor and government are really partners, not opponents, and that by co-operating, much more could be achieved. The Chamber of Commercein Bristol, England, has issued a document entitled ''A Call for Survival.'' Although the publication castigates government for its past mistakes, it also sets out a 10- point program by which government could properly satisfy the legitimate demands of business and labor as partners. Another seven points in the same document remind business of some of its short-comings and responsibilities and its need to be self-reliant and innovative. A further seven points comment of labor. The theme of the Bristol Chamber is simply: \"Recognize your common goals and your role, then work together for the survival of Britain.\" That's not a bad idea. We must overcome the situation we have allowed to come about because of a lack of co-operation between society's vital elements, business, labor and government. We must set new bases for stability and progress. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdVancouver Board of Trade. FIVE YEARS AGO Study of an ambulance service for Gibsons municipality is started by council.

S.C. cashes in on emil peterson left, and Axel Anderson sailing fishing skiffs from Rivers Inlet to Gibsons Landing, 1925. -Photo by Phil Fletcher courtesy of Elphinstone Museum Basford explains Controls aim at reducing gun-related incidents The following are - excerpts from a speech made by Minister of Justice Ron Basford on the second reading of BBB C-83 in Parliament, March 8. The growing number of crimes, deaths and accidents involving the use of firearms is a very proper concern of the citizens and one fully shared by the Govern- ment.Every year sees a further increase in gun-related murders, robberies, suicides and accidents in Canada. In 1974, nearly 1500 persons died of gunshot wounds, an increase of 30 percent over the 1970 number. Firearms were used in one-half of Canada's murders and in at least one-third of the 15,000 robberies. They also account for over one-third of the annual suicides and many accidental deaths. No count is known of the number of non-fatal accidents caused by firearms. These are clearly statistics that call for measures that will lead to a curtailment of the incidence of gun-related violence, both of a criminal and non-criminal nature, while at the same time avoiding undue interference with legitimate ownership and uses of common firearms. The Government's policy on the control of firearms as set out in Bill C-83 is designed to achieve this goal through. a series of reasoned legislative and administrative measures based upon the following principles: \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd the increased criminal liability for misuse of weapons. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd increased standards of care for ownership and use of weapons \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd decreased availability of firearms and ammunition. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd screening of fitness to possess and use firearms. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd increased police powers, to seize weapons. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd increased awareness of the dangers of firearms abuse. The measures are of a compre1- hensive nature, directed both to those who would use guns for criminal purposes and to others who, in using them for legitimate ends, must learn to do so with greater respect and care. ;.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd: For those who use firearms as tools of their criminal trade, no registration or licensing system will effectively curb access to and use of weapons. For such criminals the real sanction is and must be severe sentences. To this end, the maximum penalties for unlawful possession or use of ordinary, as well as restricted and prohibited weapons, are being substantially increased. In addition, any person henceforth convicted of using an offensive weapon while committing an indictable offence will receive a pri son term above and beyond that for the indictable offence itself. For citizens who wish to own or use common firearms for' legitimate purposes, a number of control systems were considered closely by the Government \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd total prohibition, firearms depositories, gun registration and possessor licencing. They were the subject of a full study carried out by Dean Martin Friedland for the Government during 1975. Of these, the one that is the only balanced and reasonable approach to the problem of controlling misuse of firearms is a system of licencing persons who possess guns. This system places primary emphasis on the proposition that no person should be entitled to possess or use a firearm unless he can establish his fitness and responsibility to do so. In other words, ownership and use of firearms should not be a right but a privilege. The system of licencing will be simple and flexible yet effective, and with necessary safeguards to ensure that no one will be unfairly deprived of the privilege to secure a licence for legitimate purposes. Here, I refer particularly to the sports hunter, the target-shooter and, indeed, the northern family for whom hunting is a way and means of life. I am also satisfied that the system reflects the belief shared by the wildlife groups that there is an important need for responsibility in the ownership and use of guns. As we know there are some one million hunters who readily accept the requirement of a hunting licence in order to use their guns. It is important to screen out those who are unfit to possess firearms. It is also important that those with firearms keep and use those weapons in a responsible manner. To erisure this, careless handling and storage of firearms will become subject to criminal sanctions. I will also be urging the provincial Attorneys-General to provide in their laws a stricter civil liability for firearmmisuse.r There are a number of other important measures contained in this bill which form part of the Government's initiative to develop an effective means to curb the growth of gun-related violence in Canada. The Government does not pretend for a moment that any or all of these measures together will eliminate the tragic and ruthless gun incidents that now occur. What we believe it will do, through the combination of sanctions, screening and reduced access, is reduce the occurrence of , such incidents. Letters to the Editor MISINFORMED? Editor: In the March 9 issue of the Coast News, Don McLean writes in a letter to the editor that \"we are all ready to admit that the congenial atmosphere of the British pub has done more to encourage close community ties than any other organized or unorganized pastime ...\" As a resident of the \"tight\" little isle for 25 years, I believe Don is quite misinformed. On the contrary, in Britain, as here, booze is the number one home wrecker, the number one killer on the highways, and a disrupter of the national economy. Don refers to talks with students of Elphinstone Secondary, about \"growing in terms of learning.\" Let's hope that these bright students will help him get his values straightened out. Meanwhile, those interested in more liquor outlets need no encouragement from the 'cloisters of learning.' \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdE. W. amd EDNA DAVIES. GRANDSTANDING Editor: I would like to explain to you and your readers my displeasure regarding a front page article in the Coast News, Tuesday, March 9, 1976 concerning me. The headline read \"Alderman questions employee's work\" The short paragraph that followed expressed Alderman Morgan Thompson's concern that I (the village's only permanent works employee) was working on the Sechelt Marsh Priject. The insinuation is that I should have been working elsewhere and decided to take it upon myself to work on a project not within the village's jurisdiction and that I was not doing my job right. Not so. My job assignments come from the village clerk. I resent the fact that your paper used my name in an article regarding council politics. I only work for the village, I am not involved in the heirarchy of council business. As a result of your damaging headline I have suffered a great deal of unjust, personal embarrassment. I do not think I am being unfair in demanding an equal retraction and apology from your paper. I only hope that this style of grandstanding headlines is not an example of what we can expect from your paper in the future. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdGERRY FREEBORN. Editor's note: We apologize to) Mr. Freeborn for any embarrassments caused by the inferences made by some readers. However, we do feel that Aid. Thompson's statement, as quoted in the story, indicates that Sechelt council (or the clerk) is responsible for your work assignments and not yourself. Also if you object to a newspaper using your name, you should speak to village council. Any matter discussed in open council 'meeting is public knowledge. CAN TWIN Editor: The subject of this letter concerns the fact that you can't win. ' Three years ago we found what we were looking for, a small piece of acreage on Cemetery ' Road where we could have a garden, a few chickens, and some piece and quiet. We then began a job that took almost two years and much hard work to complete. But it was worth it; our dream of building a log home was realized. 1 love our home and our property but something has happened to disturb my serenity. The peace and quiet we were searching for is gone. Shoal Development has installed a rock crusher next door to us. This came as quite a shock as Doug Fraser of Shoal Development had assured my husband quite some time ago that such a thing would not happen. As a matter of fact, he told my husband not to worry, that he was only going to remove some gravel, terrace, and sell, The rock crusher generates, an incredible amount of noise which is quite unbearable. I would say to anyone who thinks I'm exaggerating, come up for coffee some day and listen. Noise is a form of pollution and Cemetery Road is becoming quite polluted lately. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdBARBARA CATTANACH VITAL WORK Editor: I was interested and much heartened to read in the March 10 issue of the Comox District Free Press about the 55 senior high school students who created 'a scenario of laws and guidelines for living on the West Coast in the in the future' at the UNESCO '76 Schools Conference at Strathcona Outdoor Educational Centre recently. We need to hear more and more from young people if we are to hope for survival now that, traditional and hidebound ways of thinking are proving to be totally useless and irrelevant. I wish these students every free trees Both Gibsons and Sechelt are going to cash in on the provincial government's free tree give-away The trees, all 2,6 million of them, were bought by the' NDP government for the Habitat conference. The seedlings will not be planted at Habitat because the federal government declined to finance its share of the tree project. The provincial government has since made the trees available to municipalities, regional districts, and cities. At last week's council meeting, Mayor Larry Labonte suggested that a village truck make the journey to Surrey to pick up as many trees as possible. Sechelt council also backed that idea and suggested the two villages and the regional district pick up a minimum of 1,000 of the local and exotic seedlings currently 12 to 18 inches high. One Sechelt alderman, Dennis Shuttleworth, said this was a \"golden opportunity for the arboretum.\" Aid. Shuttleworth has been a proponent of a Sechelt arboretum for some time and he said a nursery containing some of the exotic trees would be a good start for such a project. : The provincial government has already indicated that Crown land near the arena would be available for the arboretum project. Green snow exposed success iii their research on alternative living, and look forward hopefully to hearing of their further-developed reco- their further-developed recommendations Jo Habitat Forum attention at that function. In the meantime, may I recommend to them (in case they have not already read it) 'The Crazy Ape' by Albert Szent- Gyorgyi, M.D., PH.D., Nobel Laureate (Philosophical Library Inc., New York). This short book, which states on the title page that it was 'written by a biologist for the young' is worth very serious study. 'We must make a new beginning.' states Szent-Gyorgi, z'but it is only the youth who can make it by building a new world.' Vancouver Island Regional Library has it. - so, hopefully, do libraries in Powell River and Gibsons. Please request it. Keep up the vital work, students! And thank you all. Deeno Birmingham Courtenay EIGHT GOALS?, Editor: In the March 16 issue of the Coast News you have a picture of a hockey game and the score was- 9 to 4. You listed the scorers for the winning team and the number of goals they scored. I counted eight points. Is the real answer eight points or nine? Trevor Blair Roberts Creek Editor's note: The answer is nine. If you read the caption again the total number of Roberts Creek goals add up to nine. Did you count the goal by Ed Lands? byDOUGSEWELL Motorists travelling along Highway 101, especially between Secret Cove and Halfmoon Bay* have recently begun to wonder whether their eyes are\" playing tricks on them. It seems that the embankments along the side of the road have suddenly turned green. Not grass green, just a kind of washed out, powdery looking off-white type green. A,quick call to the Highways Department soon convinced me that I had not seen green snow. The mixture which has been sprayed on the embankments during the last couple of weeks, the Highways spokesman assured me is merely a mixture of grass, fertilizer and chemicals designed to control the growth of alder trees and to prevent firther water and wind erosion. And I bet you hadn't told anybody about the \"green snow\" you saw when you went to Pender Harbour. Highways patch road Sechelt council's concern over the fact that Department of Highways trucks are tearing up a village street have been somewhat alleviated. Aldermen noted at last week's regular meeting that the Highways Department has agreed to place crushed rock on Inlet Ave. after trucks had damaged the pavement. The trucks were using Inlet to haul rock from Highway 101 to the Sechelt waterfront where it was dumped to re-inforce\/ the banks. In other Sechelt council news, $500 was voted to go to the Timber Days committee so work could get started on the annual May celebrations. The motion was made by Aid. Frank Leitner. Wharf not for Sechelt Sechelt council has turned down an offer from the federal government to take over the Porpoise Bay government wharf. A similar rejection was made by the Regional District board recently for two wharves in the Pender Harbour area. If the village did accept the responsibility for the wharf, one person would have to be hired to collect berthage fees. Council decided the village should not han-r die the wharf because it would not be a money making proposition. In other council news, Sechelt will apply for funding to hire four students th^s year to work on various village projects. Clerk Tom Wood named a number of different jobs the students could under-; take and Aid. Morgan Thompson said a specific program should be '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd setup. The students will be hired.for two months. \\ \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd ' ' h * UNESCO Conference Sunshine Coast News, March 23.1976. __. ABOVE, STUDENTS OF Gibsons Elementary school collected $191.53 as part of the $353.50 raised by the school to help the people of Guatemala after the recent earthquake. Front left to right are Sabina Foss and Jane Massingham. Middle row are Kim Clapham and Gillian Morrow, and back row are Mari Anne Dawe, Shirley Ten and Raymond Trembly. Lisa Bjornson, who also helped the group, is missing. The students are in Lynn Christian's class. Guatemala relief fund . Two weeks ago a 'help Guatemala' campaign was launched in every classroom of Gibsons Elementary school and when the campaign closed last Friday, $353.50 had been raised by the students. .The campaign was initiated by the visit of Marilyn Forrester, who is associated with Oxfam in Vancouver. Ms. Forrester talked to the students about the devastating situation in Guatemala after the recent earthquake. In her talk she focussed oh San Martina, a village about 50 miles. from Guatemala City, approximately the size of Gibsons. Slides depicting the Guatemalan way of life were also shown as well as actual samples of the exquisite weavings in the form of ponchos and wall hangings. Students heard about the desperate need for plastic sheeting and roofing materials. Some students chose to work as a group and in four evenings collected a total of $191.53. These students were: Sabina Foss, Jane Massingham, Kim Clapham, Gillian Morrow, Mari Ann Dawe, Shirley Ten, Raymond Tremblay, and Lisa Bjornson. Rick Kinne, Dianne Wilson, Debbie Peterson, Linda Ten, Shari Graham, and Debbie Middleton also collected on an individual basis after school. Rina Turner, Claire Bujan, Monique Rivard, Tracey Strom, Sigrid Skogmo and Sharon Enevoldson were responsible for the distribution and collection of money containers each day. Mrs. Mackenzie's class counted the proceeds. The school is deeply concerned about the unfortunate people in Guatemala and students and staff thank the generous people of Gibsons for their contributions. Time to forget an 'eye for an eye (continued from Page 1) son in his plans to knock off the corner gas station how long will it be before his son is robbing banks for a living. We learn by example and if the government agrees that it is all right to execute a man as long as you follow a list of proscribed events, then how is it possible to convince a person that they should not take a 'murder of justice' into their own hands when the authorities refuse to act. Last week the Coast News printed three pro-hanging letters in the 'letters to the editor' .section of the paper. I was astounded by the lack of thought that appears to have been given to such an important question. In the first letter, Gunter Beyser informs us that a Christian can defend his belief in capital punishment by believing that there is'Iife after death, nothing happens without the will of God'. The implications are astounding. -If the six million Jews fed into Hitler's gas ovens were there by the will of God I suggest it is time we re-think our philosphy and religon. Mr. Beyser's next contention is that it is indefensible to support a known murderer at societies expense for a period of twenty-five years or more. The total cost of keeping the' fifteen or so men on Canadian 'death rows' is about three cents per annum for every Canadian tax payer. Hardly a valid point. It is Mr. Beyser's last statement though that really makes one wonder about the amount of consideration he has given the subject, 'I definetry disagree that the death penalty is a murder of revenge. It is rather the inflicting of a just punishment and without punishment rehabilitation is not possible, or at least doubtful.' In the next letter by Karl- Heinz Schoers we run across this astounding paragraph 'remember that you have no right to carry out the death penalty yourself and you will not be OBoaoBQoaaoocwa Wardair Appointment Wardair of Canada is pleased to announce that Peninsula Travel Agency has been appointed EXCLUSIVE AGENT for Wardair of Canada.

The law will do so. Therefore don't feel bad about a deed you have never performed.\" Has our society really deteriorated to the point where someone else must carry out the laws we help to create because we lack the moral courage to stand by our own convictions. It would be interesting to see how long capital punishment would last if the executors were picked on the same basis as the jury. In the final letter from H. G. Robertson of Sechelt the recent death of Mary Steinhauser during the B.C. Penitentiary incident is dragged into the situation by his claims that if the \"Oakalla hostage principals had been executed . . .Miss Steinhauser would still be alive today.\" Though ' this theory sounds reasonable it contains a couple of basic faults, first that unless we are willing to execute all long term prisoners these kind of situations will not be stopped and secondly, Miss Steinhauser by her own choice worked in a dangerous environment. It would make more sense to lay the blame on the prison administration and the guards for allowing the situation to develop. The men who work for the penal system are paid to prevent incidents like this and it is time we demanded that they do a better job. The issue of capital punishment is far too emotional to be handled by a show of hands at a local \"justice council\" meeting. The retentionists seem unaware that there is little to be gained by retaining the death penalty, the deterrent factor is doubtful at best, the cost factor is negligible and proper prison security and parole systems should prevent the repetition of the crime. On the other hand though the by D.J. HAUKA I should' entitle this article 'What I did at Strathcona Lodge,' but if I did I'd never stop writing. Well, I might repeat myself a little but I could write a lot. The trip up was a story in itself. The trip on the ferry was as any other crossing of old Howe Sound but trying to get into the ferry line up for Nanaimo took just about as long. It seems they've changed the setup there quite a bit. When we finally got there, after going down some one way streets improperly, the lineup wasn't moving. Mike McNevin, who along with Mr. Fuller, Marilyn Munroe, Sherry Hancock and myself made the trip, went up to the little blue booth to find out what was wrong. As it turned out the cashier's cash register wasn't working. After the four of us wasted about $10 on an arcade hockey game we arrived in Nanaimo. The journey to Strathcona was done in pleasant stages. We drove leisurely through Qualicum, stopped at Courtenay for coffee where Mike and I revisited old sights from the drama festival we participated in a couple of years ago. Then to Campbell River where we visited my brother Gordon and had more coffee, and finally to the lodge at Strathcona where he had coffee again. After spending half an hour in the W.C. we proceeded to mingle. Mike made several comments as to the structure of the young ladies' legs and various other banalities. So on the first night after a few introductions and a good dinner, we were told what we were there \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd for. this was a UNESCO sponsored affair and what they expected of five different groups of students from 11 different schools was nothing less than this: \"In the four days, come up with an - alternate lifestyle and culture.\" The amazing thing about it was it was accomplished. After watching films on self- sufficiency and ecology we then retired to our cabins. I was in group four and got to know the ' people in our cabin pretty well. After some initial difficulty with lighting our fire (it turned out we had a running battle with, the fire from then on) we turned in about 3 a.m. We ran out of jokes to tell and dropped off to slumberland. The next morning we made a resolution that in our new society the hours of 7, 8 and 9 a.m. should not exist and anyone rising at that time who expects others to get up should be shot, hung or put in a coma. Why? Well, you try getting dangers of retaining the penalty are considerable. We stand to lose much of the humanism that has developed in the modern world and at the same time we could lose the respect of many other nations who are now reaching the same threshold. It would be a different story if our courts were infallible, if we could somehow differentiate effectively between the cold blooded murder for gain and the murder that was instigated by emotional or psychological problems. It is unfortunate that our courts are human and that they can make mistakes. In 1965 five men were sentenced to death and executed for the murder of a young woman in Texas. In 1968 the real murderer confessed and it was discovered that the men had been falsely condemned to death. Is there any member of the Justice Council who could explain to those men's families why they had been killed? The judicial system must always remain flexible enough to admit its own errors. Perhaps what scares me the most though is that the Justice Council also applied its recommendation to \"deaths resulting from drunken driving.\" If manslaughter is next on the list to receive capital punishment, where will it be stopped? After it is applied to kidnapping, rape, child molesting? It is easier to totally abolish the death penalty than to say it should only be applied to first degree murder. Probation Officer Neil McKenzie has probably summed it up best: \"If you're against killing you're against it all the way.\" It is time we started asking what breeds crime rather than just taking \"an eye for an eye.\" up after five hours sleep, to a cold, cold cabin with your clothes only five feet away. But we did make it to breakfast, by some miracle of nerve, just in time to see the syrup coagulate. The grapefruit couldn't be cut in half, and the pancakes would have made great frisbees. Aside from that, it was a wonderful morning. We had something called \"interpersonal relations\" which is really an icebreaker to get people to know each other. Jim Seiner, a UBC counsellor, told us to walk around and shake everybody's hand, then we shook elbows, knees, shoulder and then I might have known that the falling trust game would come next. I might have but didn't. This game is where a group of people form a circle and some one is put into the centre and literally falls Over and is pushed around the circle with their eyes closed. It takes a lot of trust in your group to catch you. A fall of six inches is magnified greatly without sight. All morning and afternoon we did similar things and about 4 p.m. the groups got together to plan their society. The imaginary situation was tt_: We were militants in our home country, advocating change in our society. For this we were banished. The government had given us $10,000 per group for what we needed. They also provided a boat, truck, tractor and free medical care. Our objective is to become self- sufficient. What do we need? After a long discussion it was decided that, all the basics were needed, along with such things as tools, seed and building materials. That evening we watched a film called \"Citizen Harold\" in which a good intentioned man is shunted from door to door and finally gives up trying to get through all the bureaucracy over a simple thing such as cutting down a few trees. With this in mind a government was out of the question in our little settlement. Our group also made dinner that night. It was the best chili anybody there had ever had. Being monitor (the one who stands at the head of the food line to make.sure that nobody makes a pig of themselves) I took most of the credit, when, in fact, I had absolutely nothing to do with the preparation or cooking. Consequently, guess who had to do the dishes. The social life would have been great too but for a slight mischance. There was an attractive young lady whom I invited down to the cabin for a cup of tea. When we got there the door wouldn't open. \"No matter,\" I said archly, \"we'll just go over to your place. I was rather staggered at what followed. . \"No,\" she said. \"Get the key.\" \"Why?\" \"Get the key.\" A little later I found myself running through the snow to the main lodge, and after a repeat performance of \"Citizen Harold\" I trudged back to the cabin and found, the door had merely been jammed. If I had kicked it, it would have opened. Well, I thought, I'll just trudge over to her cabin. I did and knocked on the door. \"Whois it?\" she asked. \"Me,\" I called lightly. \"Me, who?\" I could tell from that moment on it wasn't going to be an enchanted evening. I walked back to my cabin. No great loss, I thought Be happy boy. For some reason I kicked the oven door and nearly broke my foot. And all for no reason. The next morning I awoke with a vision of an angel with glory streaming around her face. When the fog cleared it was Maureen, the young lady of the previous night, hovering over me with a nice hot cup of steaming tea. \"Sorry about last night,\" she smiled. \"No matter,\" I said taking a sip of tea. Being not quite awake I commented about no cream and sugar and for some reason she stalked angrily from the room. I tried to convince myself she did so because one of my cabin mates was waking up. More than half frozen, Brian, Hugh and myself (all from the same cabin but different schools) stumbled into the main lodge. After a terrible breakfast we listened to a lecture called Dominance and Environmental Laws. This helped us plan power structures and ecology. Then we prepared lunch which consisted of tomato soup and toasted cheese sandwiches. A psychologist, one of the many helpers there, walked up once while I wasn't looking. As monitor it was my job to watch him, so his second time around I watched as he took two sandwiches. \"Professor,\" I said to him and about 50 other spectators, \"taking two when you've already had one. You're only allowed two you know.\" (Continued on Page 5) WANTED Used furniture oi what have yon AL'S USED FURNITURE WE BUT BEER BOTTLES Gibsons \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd 888-2812 PERMANIZE With PERMASEAL LAMINATION \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Diplomas, Citations, Awards, Art Prints, photographs of all kinds, water color drawings, letters and ttistorlc documents, etc. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd A new Permaseal process guarantees permanent protection against dust, moisture, cracking, etc. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd We assist in Special Custom Design and make-up. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdk Prices range from $13.95 for a 6\" x 8\" plaque to $38.95 for a 21\"x 21\"plaque.

Recreation option approved (Cantkmed Cram Page 1) discussed were encouraging senior citizens to settle in Sechelt and developing an ever broader recreational service town. Clarence Joe, manager of the Sechelt Indian Band said 'the Indian Reservation is the only tourist attraction on the peninsula' and that if we are going to develop along tourist service lines we had better develop more attractions for the holiday business. It was stressed that the results of this meeting were not final and it was suggested that a questionnaire be circulated again and that the large charts depict ing the development areas be displayed at the Trail Bay Mall. It was also hoped, that another meeting would be held and that more people would attend. Regional' Board Chairman, John McNevin summed up the meeting by saying that it was obvious that both the Public Recreation and Resource Development options had merit and that the logical solution would seem to be an amalgamation of the two. The Regional Board will discuss the results of this session at its regular board meeting on March 25.

(WHAT D.J. did at Strathcona Lodge) I was well on my way to destroying him, when he said very softly, \"Now son, don't you think you're assuming a lot? Did you see me take one before? Be honest now.\" Soon, it was me looking like the jigsaw puzzle in front of everybody. I was so upset I let Mike get away with three cheese sandwiches. After a few more films on pop ulation control we went back to the cabin. \"Hey,\" I shouted, \"isn't there anywhere I can get a shower?\" It was then I was informed that not a hundred feet from the cabin was a combination shower-sauna. With cries of \"Far out!\" I grabbed a towel, borrowed Hugh's shampoo and raced over. After a satisfactory shower I was sitting in the Sauna and suddenly there was laughing, squealing and general ruckus. Upon investigating, I found I had been left with only a towel, my jacket and boots to get back to the cabin with. My other garments had been pinched. After going back to my cabin and changing into more clothes, I stormed into Cabin H where these articles were stacked CHARLES ENGLISH LTD.

Later that evening there was a dance as I sat vainly trying to dutifully write my daily notes. I wanted to throw my pen away. Gradually, I began to wonder why I was writing. Why was I not, dancing? Because you can't dance. Why can't I dance? Because your waterlogged boots . won't lift off the ground. Maybe I'll quit the paper. That's it, I'll quit the paper for one dance; Come the next morning we were assailed with the thought we had to make a presentation that night of all we had accomplished. Obviously it would take a miracle or two to get our vague dreams of Utopia down to a concrete form. As we had a young man with immense musical talent in our group named Jeef (he spells it Jeef) we decided to write a song. Not a bad one either. So comes the big night. Group one writes a song, slightly plagarized but very good. Group two writes a song, group three does a-play. Then comes our turn. We sing, not bad. Group five comes up; what they did was a play called \"The Midgets.\" It was all very complicated but what it amounted to was having four people play two midgets, two as torsos and two as hands and feet. Mike McNevin played the hands and feet of one midget. The hands never quite co-ordinated with the body, and the play was hilarious, but it got its point across. The point.put across by everyone that night was that people need to get back to the earth, to be content with a simple existence in body, and that everyone has an unlimited world within him. . After the dance that night we were left with the awesome prospect of leaving in the morning. I suggested we should do something to celebrate so we quietly stole up to the kitchen and began to \"borrow\" about 100 hot dogs, and all the mustard, relish, ketchup, butter and buns to go with them. Suddenly I felt somebody behind me. I turned and saw a huge menacing teacher standing in the doorway. I shoved my hands in my pockets, changed my expression to one of bright eyed innocence and began to whistle. Everyone else turned around. \"What are you kids doing in here?\" Ted the teacher boomed menacingly. \"Lifting some hot dogs,\" we answered. ' 'What are you going to do with them?\" \"Cook them in our cabin.\" \"Well,\" he said brightly, \"save me four, I'll be down in about five minutes.\" Thus saying he vanished and so did we. We stayed up so late I never bothered to go back to my own cabin. I simply stole Mike's bed. My reluctance to return to my cabin was well founded. There was this big slope between me and the cabin and I wasn't about to go down it in the dark. It had been very warm that afternoon and the snow had turned to slush but now the slush had turned to ice. Getting up the hill had been hard enough but I wasn't about to slide down. I didn't get much J.W.Visser 885-3300 Don Sutherland 885-9362 George Cooper -886-9344 local Kinsmen campaign for the lottery which offers a grand prize of $100,000 THE FIRST TICKETS for'.-the Kin Win $100,000 lottery were sold to Sechelt Mayor Harold Nelson,Meft^and Gibsons';t\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-., and $133,0004n total prize money.

When I told him to shut up, he told me to take a left turn off the highway. Then came morning and summing up time. After all the thank yous a questionnaire was circulated. The temptation to ruin it was terrible but I behaved myself. I had a desire to answer questions such as \"Born?\" with a yes and other such things that turn this otherwise model student into a smart derriere. Saying goodbye was hard after five days of living together. Nobody wanted to go home, but the goodbyes were said and the journey home began. The trip back was like the trip up, in nice easy stages. I even fell asleep, and I am told I snored. After lunch at Courtenay and coffee at Qualicum Beach we went full out on the last stretch to the ferry. We missed the ferry. Well, not really, we were left behind is more truthful. A ferry can take only so many cars, and as usual, guess who was left behind ? And so after wasting more money (a tennis game this time) we arrived at Horseshoe Bay. This time we had no problem getting back into the terminal. A quiet, thoughtful trip home and the great journey ended. I walked into the house and undressed. Sleep left me with only a few memories before returning to my prior existence.

Certainly, he can be regarded as a man who has raised eroticism to an art. In this 1974 French-Italian-German co-production, originally called \"La Jeune Fille Assassinee\" (The Murdered Young Girl), he has written, produced, and directed a study of death as the ultimate pleasure. This is Vadim's first film to be seen in America since \"Pretty Maids All in a Row\" (1971), his only Hollwood-made movie, although he's done two other pix in between (\"Helle\" and Brigitte Bardofs \"Don Juan 73\"). He also plays a leading male role as an author who is fascinated with the death of young Sirpa Lane, a girl whom he knew briefly. Although Mathieu Carriere has confessed to the murder, someone else may be guilty and only at the climax are the circumstances made clear. As director, Vadim is more concerned with the sexual aspects of the plot rather than the mystery: there is plenty of nudity and sex. Carriere is seen in a transvestite revue. Some scenes are quite well done and, overall, the production is a stunner. In French, with English titles. The B.C. film classifier has rated this film restricted. It plays at the Twilight theatre March 28, 29 and 30. Call of the Wild, a general rated nature film plays March 25, 26, and 27.

Discreet Charm called wierd and subtle by ALLAN CRANE I heard one of the audience for The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie who thought The Milky Way. a better film, one or two who found it wierd rather than wonderful, and one who found the humor rather more subtle than she had hoped it would be. By and large, how- eyer, the film seems to have been greatly enjoyed, and one of our members was seeing it happily for the third time. Of this week's film, L:e Fan- tome de la Liberie, Bunuel's latest film made in 1974, Time Magazine for Oct. 21, 1974 says: The movie is black and blasphemous in Bunuel's manner. It is not so piquant as his recent Discreet Charm at the Bourgeoisie, but it is full of effusive invention and flourishes of high humor that do not seem to tax the 74-year-old director in the least. When I was speaking of the film to Vancouver artist Michael Morris of the Western Front, however, I was told that Fantome was a fantastic film which took Discreet Charm a step further, and another of our members who saw the film in Vancouver where he is now working also maintains that it is a truly wonderful film. Both are planning to travel to Vancouver to see the film, and Michael thought we were astonishingly fortunate to be able to see Bunuel's last two films in such close juxtaposition. The following is an extract from a review from The Monthly Film Bulletin of February, 1975. Using precisely the same technique (as for Discreet Charm) of interrupted narrative in Le Fantome de la Liberie, Bunuel this time makes the interruptions yawn more widely, switching thematic ground on each occasion so that the audience is. suspended, as it were, over an uncharted abyss. Precisely as he did in L'Age d'Or, in fact; and pre cisely the same motifs recur in the new film, which once again makes the human mind, haunted by its ineffectual attempts to come to terms with Marx's \"phantom of Liberty\", the battleground for a subversive challenge to conventional attitudes to sex, religion, politics. All three themes are introduced in the prologue where the Spaniards stoutly reject the offer of liberation from their oppression with cries of .\"Vivan las cadenas!\" (\"Long live chains\" or \"Down with Liberty!\" as the English title has it, following Bunuel's French subtitle.) The next item is an extract from Sight and Sound, summer of 1974: Le Fantome de b IJberte is Bunuel's 31st film, since Un Cbien Andalou launched him on a career that has a beginning, no middle, and an astonishing still continuing third act. The new film promises to be his most whimsical, one of his most youthful and possibly his most innovatory, since it has no characters running right through but only characters relaying each other. 'Le hasard des rencontres.' There are 58 speaking parts, nurses, gendarmes, soldiers, a doctor getting slapped and a little girl waiting in the office of a police chief while he issues an all points bulletin to find her. There is a telephone located in a grave. There is a tank hunting rabbits and an opening sequence taking part during the Napoleonic Wars. The opening is not only passably Bunuelian but historically correct. When in 1814 the Spaniards finally managed to chase Napoleon's armies back across the Pyrenees, after a six-year conflict that saw the invention of guerilla warfare, they didn't choose freedom but restored to the throne Fernando VII from who the French had liberated them in 1808. In the streets of Madrid, the restoration of the decrepit and debauched king was accompanied by chants of \"Vivan las cadenas\" ('Long live the chains.') In his opening sequence, Bunuel has French soldiers line up and shoot Spanish guerrilleros. Before the prisoners fall under the bullets, they shout \"Vivan las cadenas.\" Next, we see the ragged French troops in a church in Toledo, drying their rain-soaked uniforms on the altar and turning spits of roasted pork over fires started with wood from broken pews. Next, we are in Paris, 1974. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd * Tickets for the upcoming Film Society dance on April 3 are now available to members only at the Dogwood Cafe and at Whitaker House.

The Sunshine Coast Arts Council sponsored a juried art show on Saturday at the United Church hall in Gibsons. Artists responded with a large variety of paintings and drawings in many mediums, and Prof Sam Black of the Fine Arts Department of UBC, who juried the show, remarked on the very high quality of work being done in this area. He chose a watercolor painting by Joan Thomson Warn as first prize in the painting section, with honorable mention going to Steve Holecka, Pauline Lawson, Brett Osborne, Mr. Finlayson and Trudy Small. In the drawing section he awarded first prize to Steve Holecka for a pencil drawing, with honorable mention going to Joan Warn, Steve Holecka and Vivian Chamberlin. During the day, members of the public who attended voted on their favorite painting and drawing and chose a painting by Joan Thomson Warn, and a drawing by T^ff-|i a j g* Steve Holecka. As these two had 1'IUSIL already been awarded earlier prizes, the public popularity prizes were awarded to the run- ners-up, who were Pauline Law- son for her painting, and Vivian Chamberlin for her drawing. Fine weather and a pleasant tea added to the enjoyment of all who attended, and a beautiful display of illuminated printing by Elizabeth Lowe, and an interesting metal sculpture by John Warn added another dimension to the show. Madeira students present the wizard Trie staff and students of Madeira Park Elementary School are putting on two performances of the musical Wizard of Oz. The performances are free of charge and the public is cordially invited to attend. The musical is to be presented on Wednesday, March 24, starting at 1:30 p.m., and again in the evening starting at 7:30 p.m. Both performances are in the Activity Room. The musical is part of the drama and cultural program of the school and is the culmination of many weeks of rehearsals by the students.

A KEN'S FOOTS Gibsons, B.C. A White Man's Country: An Exercise in Canadian Prejudice, by Ted Ferguson. \" Doubleday Canada limited. 194p. $8.95 Unless you are a student of Canadian and British Columbian history or an octogenarian, you probably aren't familiar with the history of the Komogatu Maru affair. The Komogatu Maru was a ship of Japanese registry char- ered by an East Indian entrep- eneur of questionable honesty to transport 376 East Indians who wanted to immigrate to Canada. The ship arrived in Vancouver harbor in late May 1914 and thus initiated a confrontation of major proportions with the Immigration Department At the time of the arrival of the East Indians, the Canadian government's position on non- white immigration was clear and well established. Sir Richard McBride, Premier of British Columbia, stated succintly that... 'to admit Orientals in large numbers would mean in the end the extinction of the white people, and we always have in mind the necessity of keeping this a white man's country.' However a B.C. Supreme Court Justice had recently ruled that this excl- usionist policy against East Indians was illegal as every citizen of India was a British . subject and was therefore free to go anywhere he wished in the British Empire. The Komogatu Maru passengers intended to test the validity of this ruling. The Komogatu Maru stayed in Vancouver harbor until late July 1914 when it was forced to embark for India. Those two months were characterized by bureaucratic incompetence, violence, racial prejudice and inter-passenger confrontations. Problems were compounded when those East Indian residents of Vancouver who were avowed Ghadrites (a secret Sikh society espousing violence as a final solution) became involved in the conflict. The author explores briefly the fate of the protagonists (both in British Columbia and in India) following the departure of the Komagatu Maru, which places the incident in historical perspective. Ferguson concludes with a chapter on \"Vancouver's present East Indian conflict in which he attempts to draw parallels between 1914 and 1974. His conclusions are simplistic and over-generalized; the contemporary situation is worthy of moire extensive in-depth analysis than he provides here. The author has used many unpublished primary sources, such as letters and telegrams, as well as voluminous secondary sources in the preparation of his book. It is an excellent examination of an incident in Canadian and British Columbian history from an historical perspective. Ted Ferguson is a native of British Columbia and is an established playwright, journalist and T.V. writer. A WMte Man's Country is his first book. Available at Books and Stationery, Sechelt.

The toys were made with loving care and either crocheted, knitted or hand sewn. From reports from the Children's ward at the Cancer Institute, the toys have been instur- mental in bringing smiles to the faces of young patients. Not to be forgotten is the small group of dedicated members who meet at the hall each month to supply dressings made by them for local patients as well as those patients at the Cancer Institute. These cancer dressings are given free of charge and to', date this year these workers have given 265 hours, and have donated 102 dozen dressings to local cancer patients. If any of the public have old cotton to donate to be utilized in this work it would be greatly appreciated. Accompanied by the Worthy Matron, officers and members have visited several mainland chapters as well as Powell River. Friendships were renewed with others who are also involved in these worthwhile endeavours The Powell River members made a social visit to the Sunshine Coast Rebekahs Lodge in Sechelt.

It is a proven fact that we have dreams at night even if we don't remember them. Then there are our day-dreams. Sometimes thay can be what keep us going when everything else is going wrong. A child's world is filled with dreams. When I was little I wished that when I fell asleep I would dream like Alice in Alice In Wonderland. How dreary childhood would be without dreams. In Psycho-Cybernetics, a book on self-image. Maxwell Maltz advocates using your imagination to envision vividly any situation that you desire. That's daydreaming. Dreaming is the stuff that all great inventions and innovations are made of. Someone has to have a dream first. Some of our greatest inventors,. Alexander Graham Bell for one, used to sleep on a problem and awaken with its solution. If it weren't for dreams some of our most beautiful poetry and greatest prose would never have evolved. The imagery that these wonderful words create for us is enlarged upon by our own dreams. Music is another area where dreaming has significance. Thousands of songs have been written glorifying dreams. California Dreaming, Dream a Little Dream of Me, I'll See You in my Dreams, and To Dream the Im possible Dream, just to name a few. Remember when you used to sit or lie next to the radio and picture all the people and places that you were hearing come ou.t of that little box. Radio was a fun source for dreams. In psychology and psychiatry dreams have become an important part of analysis. Freud and other founders of modern psychiatry saw what people dream as significant to their mental state. Psychics believe dreams are important. What you dream can be representative of many things. A dream can be pre- cognative, tell something about the future, or be a communication from someone, who has passed on. The- Bible is filled with dreams. David interpreted the King's dreams. Jacob had dreams. Throughout the Old and New Testaments we hear of a multitude of dreams. Where would we be without dreams? I expect everyone has had some great dream in life. It would be quite drab if we had to give up daydreams, and scientists tell us that if we didn't dream at night we would become mentally ill, because dreaming is a form of mental release.' .\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd* No matter what our dreams are we must have them. So as the song says, ' 'Dream, that's the thing to do v .,. Things never arenas bad as they seem, so dream, dream, dream.\" Metrics got you in a stew? \"The time has come,\" the walrus said \"to talk of many things ...\" Today the topic is metric. Let's take a quick look at the metric recipe for \"Beef Stew\" How many new measures do you see? If you guessed three, you're right! Let's tackle them, one at a time. t You may wonder whether you have to buy a kitchen scale to weigh 700 grams beef. No, that isn't necessary. You'll soon be able to buy beef by the gram or kilogram in the store. Items over 1000grams, such as large roasts, will likely be referred to in kilograms. Since a kilogram is equal to 1000 grams and is slightly more than 2 pounds, then 700 grams would be about 1 lA pounds. If you've already purchased a ' set of metric measures for volume, you'll have no problems measuring millilitres. The 250 ml liquid measure is slightly larger than the 8 ounce cup. In the set of dry measuring cups, there should be three cups label led 50, 125 and 250 ml. All metric recipes will be based on combinations of these three measures. The teaspoon and tablespoon will be replaced by five metric small measures, 1 ml., 2 ml., 5 ml., 15 ml. arid 25 ml. These have been specially designed to fit in with the new 250 ml measure. A metric ruler will easily indicate the length of 2 centimetres for your beef cubes. If you don!t have a ruler handy, just remember that the cantimetre is slightly less than half an inch. Now that wasn't difficult, was it? You'll soon find that metric recipes are easy to follow and every bit as tasty as their traditional counterparts.

Council noted at last Wednesday's meeting that Hayden Killam, owner of a building on Dolphin Street, is contravening the building code by accomodating two businesses in the second storey of the two storey building. According to council, the original plan presented for approval indicated that the second storey of the structure would be used only for storage. It was approved by the building inspector and the fire marshall on that basis.

In deciding whether or not to prosecute the owner of the building, Mayor Harold Nelson said both the building inspector and the fire marshall had ruled against allowing upstairs businesses to operate 'and I think we should stick with it.' In order to legally facilitate the upstairs businesses, Killam would have to undertake several renovations. \"Societies Act\" St. Mary's Hospital Society Notice of Annual Meeting To the members of St. Mary's Hospital Society: Take notice that the Annual General Meeting of the members of the St. Mary's Hospital Society will be held in the Senior Citizens Hall, Mermaid Street, Sechelt, B.C., on Wednesday, the 7th day of April, 1976 at the hour of 7:30 p.m. Dated in the village of Sechelt, in the province of British Columbia this 10th day of March, 1976.

We joined North Shore Bowl in the House Round of the Master-Junior-Senior Tournament last Sunday. ,This tournament involves teams made up of a Master Bowler, two Y.B.C. Juniors and two Y.B.C. Seniors. ; The team of Michele Solinsky and Geoff Spence as Juniors, Collen Bennett and Jeff Mul caster as Seniors and Dianne Fitchell as Master won the event bowling 609 pins over their team average. The team of Dawne Atlee and Grant Gill as Juniors and Anne Carson and David Atlee as Seniors and yours truly as Master came in second bowling 504 pins over our team average. The winning team now proceeds to the zone finals representing Gibsons-North Shore. As a Master Bowler Instructor I never stress, especially to the young bowlers, that winning by any means is the prime purpose of the sport of bowling. I try to get across that it's more important to take part in these tournaments than to win. However, 'winning' is very nice.

Curling news Curlers ready for bonspiels and playoffs of trophies on display in Todd's Drygoods store in Sunnycrest Plaza. All the team trophies have been donated and the club has purchased smaller, individual trophies. High School playoffs start on Wednesday, March 24 at 3:30. If you have a minute, drop in and watch them. There are some promising young curlers coming up.

Work parties have slowed down a little since the weather has warmed up. On March 14 Elphinstone Wanderers soccer club hosted Vancouver's East End Baceda Rats in the _st home game of the season. !The Rats currently hold first place and a narrow 2-1 victory \/or Elphinstone places the local \"team in a good position for the league championship. The weather was ideal and the game was played on Elphin- stone's new field. From the open- - ing kickoff Gibsons pressed to the attack forcing the play in the Rats' end. Both teams were ex- \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdtremely wary of each other's explosive power forcing the game into a tight checking, close contest. Gibsons scored first as they caught the Rats sleeping on a throw-in. Ken Bland tossed a long throw-in into the goalkeepers box and as the Rats stood around watching the ball, Steve Miles raced in and tapped the ball into the net. The Rats were spurred into action by this goal and though they didn't carry all the play, they scored the equalizer at the 30- . minute mark. The ball became ent\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdlgled in the foot of a Gibsons defender and when it popped out the Rats' centre forward drove the ball past the surprised Gibsons goalie. In the second half, the Wanderers' superior conditioning began to wear the Rats down. Gibsons controlled most of the play missing many good scoring chances.s When the Rats did break out, however, they, were extremely dangerous and at the 75 minute mark forced goalie Jan de Reus to make a spectacular save. With less than three minutes to play, Gibsons had a throw-in deep in Rats' territory. Steve Miles tossed the long ball over the Rat defenders and Frank Hoehne raced in to head the first bounce past the goalie into the net. The game ended Gibsons 2, Rats 1. The game was not the best the Wanderers have played, due perhaps to nervousness before the home crowd. The Rats did not play their super fast, hustling game either. Good efforts were turned in by Mike Musgrove, Kerry Eldred, Ken Verhulst, Frank Hoehne and Dan MacKay. Gibsons next game is on March 21, 12:30 p.m. at Central Park in Burnaby. The Wanderers next home game is' in Gibsons March 28,12 noon at Elphinstone school. The . Elphinstone Wanderers would like to extend their thanks to Ernie Fossett and the Roberts Creek Community Association for the use of their hall, and Bill Ed- ney for his timely donation. *** f ;K#S*'l'a*'S***S WAKEFIELD goaltender Sammy Casey holds up a victory stick after last Thursday's win over Roberts Creek. The big news out of the Curling Club this week concerns bonspiels and playoffs. The club's mixed bospiel runs April 2,3 and4 and twenty-four rinks, have already entered. The cost is $40. per rink and there is room for more entries. The men's bonspiel April 9, 10 and 11 is under the. direction of Ron Lacey and clubs may register with Ken Krintila. The entry fee is $40. Draw master Art Craze reports that league playoffs begin April 5 but plans are still in the early stages. More information will be available next week.

Jeffrey was a member of the Gibsons boys volley- bail team that participated in the 5th annual Gibsons Volleyball tournament March 12 and 13 at the Elementary school. The boys were actually too young for the tournament but acted as a replacement for the Langdale boys team which came down with the flu.

Roberts Creeek advanced to the finals in the Men's Commercial Hockey League Sunday night after edging Wakefield by a score of 4-3. The win gives Roberts Creek two out of three games of the semi-final play-off series and the Creek will now face Gibsons in the final starting April 3. Gibsons earlier defeated Pender Harbour to advance to the -'finals..-.. V>7'\"7;'-;7 yV;i :,..: .;. Prior to Sunday's game, played at the Sunshine Coast Arena, Wakefield and Roberts Creek were split in the series at one game apiece. The Creek had taken the first game and Wake field came back with a strong 5-3 win last Thursday to tie the series. Wakefield goals in Thursday's - game were scored by Jim Gray, with two, and Dale Benner, Rick McCartie, and Lawrence Jones with one each. Roberts Creek goals were scored by Mike Sutherland, Roy McBrien, and Bob Blake. Wakefield's Dave Lamb picked up four assists in that game and it was reported he had his best game of the season. The finals, which start at the arena April 3, will go to five games if necessary. SAVED BY THE NET is what Wakefield goaltender Sammy Casey is probably saying to himself after a Roberts Creek goal missed the net. The puck did not end up in the net because the net moved. The near goal was part of the action last Thursday night at the Sunshine Coast Arena when Wakefield beat Roberts Creek by a score of 5-3. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdIan Corrance Photo. mn+wwwr**n \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhU_M_ UMMlMh\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd__*****M More th an SI 6,000 was paid out by the federal government in 1974 in technical assistance grants to the mining industry in Canada's northern territories.

March 23.1976. 11 Peter Skene Ogden \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Frontier diplomat Though the Hudson's Bay Company is usually considered to be the main factor in the opening up of the Pacific fur trade, it was neither the first, nor for a long time the strongest trading company to inhabit the North American shore. The Russian American Company had been created in 1799 by an imperial charter and by 1802 the Russians had become firmly established at their main American post, Sitkam Alaska. During the two decades after the establishment of Sitka the Russian traders slowly began to move southwards down the Pacific coast. By 1825 it became necessary for the British and Russian governments to designate the size of their territories and in a convention signed later that year the British ceded all territory in what is now called the \"Alaska Panhandle\" to the Russians. The Convention of 1825 was considered to be a great triumph for British diplomacy, they had negated the Russian claims to all lands to the 51st parallel and had contained the Russian American Company's activities to at narrow belt extending from 54\/40 to the 141st longitude along a line that was never more than 30 miles from salt water. Moreover Britain had maintained the right to navigate the rivers that flowed through this area from the ocean to the British territories inland. . The convention had finally halted the southward advance of the Russians which only a few years before had called for the building of a string of forts from Alaska to San Francisco Bay. The Russians however soon showed that they were unwilling to live by the agreement they had made. The \"Convention of 1825\" may have been the death warrant for the Russian American Company but for it's competitor, the Hudson's Bay Company, it was the beginning of a period of rapid expansion. Since their merger with the North West Company in 1821 the lack of competition had enabled the H.B.C. to enjoy a period of unprecedented prosperity. By 1834 the Company's posts Would you believe homes this beautiful could be factory built? Believe it. ^Nf> *4\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd+,- .** ;3r -* They are.

Box 167 Gibsons, B.C. 886-2642 extended from the Yukon to California and later that year additional forts were added in Idaho and a new trading establishment was opened in Honolulu. The third fort planned for this year was to be a new north.coast fort on the Stikine River in British territory behind the Russian Panhandle. The inevitable had happened, the two great trading powers had finally run out of room and could no longer ignore each other. The Governors. of the Hudson's Bay Company, realizing that there might be, difficulties with the Russian American Company picked one of the company's most experienced traders, \"the humorous, honest, eccentric, law defying Peter Skene Ogden\", as the leader of the new expedition. Peter Skene Ogden was born in Quebec City in 1790. His father, came to Canada as an Admiralty Court Judge and shortly after Peter was born he was promoted to Montreal. It was in this bustling city that Peter Ogden was raised. During the early 1800s the North West Company was at its peak, using Montreal as its base of operations they slowly moved further and further west. Peter Ogden watched the N.W.C. men longingly, but initially he followed his family's encouragement to seek a career in law. Eventually he gave in to his desires and worked for a while as a clerk for the American Fur Company before finally enlisting in the North West Company and leaving Montreal late in 1810. Ogden's first wintering post was at lie a la Grose in Saskatchewan where he joined up with Samuel;Black, a rugged N.W.C. adventurer who was later the first white man to explore the Omineca and Cassiar regions of British Columbia. The partnership of Ogden and Black soon became the terror of the rival H.B.C. forts in PETER SKENE OGDEN shortly before his death. J COZY CORNER CAMERAS \\ CAMERA AND DARKRM. ^SUPPLIES; 886-7822 Beside the Bus Stop in Lower Gibsons central Canada during the intercompany feuds that continued until the two companies merged in 1821. Soon after the surprise.merger of the two rivals Ogden discovered that he and Black had been excluded from the coalition because of their earlier fierce opposition to the H.B.C. Ogden took his case to London in 1822 and the Governors fearing that Ogden and Black would start a rival company, finally relented and admitted them to the company. His first posting was to the Columbia River in \"Oregon Territory.\" Shortly after his arrival at Spokane House, Ogden was given the task of leading the annual Snake Valley Expeditions through much of what is now Washington, Oregon and Idaho. In 1825 the Com- \" pany Governors finally admitted that they had no chance of holding on to the vast territory south of the Columbia River and Ogden's Snake River Expedition was given the job of turning Oregon . into a \"fur desert\". Over the next three seasons Ogden ruthlessly strove to achieve this goal and by' 1828 mainly due to this tactic the H.B.C. had largely\/stopped the encroachment of the American fur traders into the area. Had they been half as successful at stopping the later waves of American settlers, Washington, Oregon and Idaho would probably have remained part of British North America. Ogden had now been accepted as one of the H.B.C.'s most valuable assets and when the Company decided to turn its attention towards further expansion along the North Coast it was Ogden who was chosen to establish the fort on the Stikine River. The Russians soon learned of the British plans and when Ogden sailed north in the \"Dryad\" in 1834 he soon discovered that the Russians had no intention of honoring the' \"Convention of 1825.\" The trouble began shortly after the expedition left Fort Simpson near the Alaska border. As the Dryad approached the mouth of the Stikine, a small boat left the shore and came out to intercept the expedition. The young Russian officer that commanded the party presented Ogden with a decree recently issued by the Russian-American Governor Bar-: on von Wrangel that prohibited foreign ships from trading in Russian waters. Ogden refused to turn back and later another Russian officer appeared at the Dryad to inform Ogden that his ship the Chichagoff was under orders to prevent the expedition \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \"-.il!. SITKA, ALASKA, headquarters of the Russian American Fur Company. Peter Skene Ogden visited Sitka in 1832 and 1834. from entering the mouth of the Stikine. Ogden sent a party ashore to the recently constructed Foirt Dionysius but further negotiations proved useless, and when further orders were received from Sitka, Ogden was asked to leave Stikine Sound as soon as possible. .,7 . '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd''\" Ogden finally backed down but when he was later cutting timber for Fort Simpson along Portland Canal he was again attacked by a. Russian party and this time he decided to .go to Sitka to lodge a formal protest. His discussions with Baron von Wrangel proved fruitless and by December 1834 Ogden was back at Fort Vancouver on the Columbia. The Hudson's Bay Company immediately began to seek damages from the Russian company for the Dryad incident. The talks finally culminated in the signing of the \"Pact of 1839\"' which gave the H.B.C. a ten year lease on the Russian Panhandle and put the American traders out of business by guaranteeing the H.B.C. the sole right to trade with the Russian colony. Ogden's decisions on the Stikine had given the H.B.C. an amazing trading advantage over her American competitors. In 1835 Ogden was again moved, this time he became the Chief Factor of New Caledonia, the vast northern H.B.C. territory. Ogden governed the affairs of the area for nine years before returning to England for a short vacation and to advocate a strong- . er British position in the rapidly developing Oregon Territory. Ogden was heartbroken when he received the news shortly after returning to Fori Vancouver that Britain had ceded all territory i south of the 49th parallel to the United States. It must have seemed strange to the H.B.C. men to see the American flag hoisted over Fort Vancouver. Ogden later wrote to the H.B.C. governors that \"All is ended in giving the Americans all they possibly wished for or required ... Truly may we say put not your trust in Prime Ministers.\" Ogden was left to continue the Company business in the now American territory until his death eight years later in 1854. Peter Skene Ogden, the \"Frontier Diplomat\" had seen the Pacific develop.from a fur trading wilderness to a settled territory on the verge of a rapid expansion and though his incredible energy and loyalty he had helped to preserve B.C.'s borders from further encroachment by both the Russians and the Americans. Though Peter Skene Ogden's life was not as critically important to B.C. as many other H.B.C. men, he is representative of a breed of tough, honest, adventurous men who opened up much of the coast of North America.

Elphevents It's not easy being a boy named \"Mud.\" For the first time this week I really found out how many people read this column. The thing is, they take me seriously. I don't even take myself seriously. It all started last week when I said there could be a riot at school .during the homecoming weekend and people seriously believed that we were going to lock the RCMP in the gym while they were playing broomball and burn our student cards. If anybody believed that they must be as crazy as I am. I would have packed the whole lot in and resigned myself to a life of shame had it not been for my fan letters. I received no less than two of them this week, and my thanks go to \" F'\/j\". In answer to enquiries, the intruder in the courtyard got there by jumping off the lower roof of the science wing. But about this week, it wasn't an easy one. People wouldn't say hello and friends laughed. It's not easy to be a writer especially when ypumeet with the superintendent of the school district. \"Nice article you wrote in the paper, D. J., \"said our Student Council president, Susan Dixon, as I took my chair. Several more comments of this sort made me realize that I wasn't a sure winner in the popularity polls. I was almost afraid to take notes at the meeting. Superintendent Mr. Deniey was most amiable and agreed that drinking and smoking should be restricted but was also quite honest in saying that it couldn't be guaranteed. \"If nothing else it will make them think more carefully about using the gym,\" he said. Let me explain all about gyms. Gyms are a focal point of a school. They are danced in, played in, worked in and broken in. Depriving a student body of its gym is like depriving a nicotine addict a pack of cigarettes. Without a good gym a school in nothing. But gymnasiums are expensive and the public is not willing to give money to the schools for gyms. To sell people on the idea of a gym, the school board makes sure the community is allowed to . use the facility for community activities. This is all fine and well but when the community does try and use the gym everyone at the school rankles on about \"double standards\" and then they proceed to write angry protests. The problem is that two different sets * of rules governing the gym are made by two different groups of people \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd the school board and the school administration. The solution is to get one set of rules fpr everyone. (Oh no, I've ruined this week for sure.) We, the students, really do believe in community use of the school. Anyway it was Homecoming weekend last Friday and Saturday's real news item. The carnival, the games, the dance, the gaiety. But guess who had to work this weekend? My co-worker at the Co-op, Leslie Setchfield, came down with the flu and was too ill to work and I was unable by D.J. HAUKA to attend. Other things happened this week at the school, though less important. The Chess club had a big tournament to determine the top three players. Winners will later participate at a large tourney in Vancouver. It was a double knock-out, meaning a player has to lose two games in a row to be out of it. As vice-president of the club I felt it my painful duty to lose both games, consecutively. (Or is it executively?) There was also a hot dog sale. Not your average run of the mill sale, as hot dog sales come and go. But how often do you see a biology-class having one? I didn't quite dare ask what the money was for, fearing it might be for purchasing cadavers. It was the idea of Mr. Brush, our biology student-teacher, who is doing some strange things. But then, this school is noted for doing strange things. There was also a badminton tournament this week, that is not to say badminton is a strange thing, it's rather a good sport, but 1 never could get into it after splitting my tennis shorts end to end . while playing a game. On the subject of games, Mike McNevin and I took full advantage of our Social Studies department's stock of the aforementioned this week. After several games of \"The War of 1812\" and \"Quebec 1759\" Mike resigned from gaming, but he did beat me at tennis. Speaking of our Socials department, our Social Studies teacher, Mr. Pope, may go to Sechelt next year. He won't be able to teach Grade 11 Socials (his favorite) as Sechelt is a Junior school. We hope you stay at Elphinstone, Mr. Pope. I guess that's about all for this week. I'd close this column right now except I don't really know how to. Do you realize the problem every week ending a column nicely and neatly? It's terrible. I think I'll stop right here. aooooooaao JACK AND JILL CHILD MINDING CENTRE FALL ENROLLMENT FOR 1976 Interested Parents who have children age 4 by December 31 and have not already registered please be sure to phone (After 4:30 p.m.) Gladys Elson - 886-7359 S.C.
