The Coast New*  THIS LITTLE matter of a railway . from Squamish to North  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdVancouver is causing no end of  loss of- sleep to several groups in  West Van. I was very lucky in  being the recipient of a tear jerk-  er from that municipality urging^  everyone to think long and loudly abput . the trains coming  through the beautiful residential  district of West Van. I just sat  down and cried my little dark  eves right out on the carpet.'-and  then kicked them bqth under the  bench. Of all the nasty things to  think of. - Just imagine putting  those smelly old trains through  that beautiful residential, area.  The tear puller which was successful, in ,mv case is a fairly expensive . printin g job which,  ouotes, many authorities for having the railroad pushed through  1;he mountains everywhere but  West Van. They even suggest a  toad would be so much better  than a railroad.  I stopped crying long enough  to read that all the merchandise  from the Caribou would normally go through the Crow's Nest  Pass, via Blue River or over the  Summit at Lake Louis. The writers totally ignored the Orient  with its potential millions, of buyers. They suggested, in fact they  would willingly take three oaths  on the information-that the Caribou or the northland which  would be helped by the PGE  f.would never want to stop its  stuff at Vancouver. Perish the  thought.  As.I wiped away the tears before   laying   down   the   20-page  booklet I caught a glimpse bf the  hundreds^ -Pff armers     who     so  rH^ilfdilyv '''ix^^^^Ba^S^lit^A^'  .settled   along the    track   which  xyas; going to make their fortunes  ?-B$ conveying   their   produce   to  1 the western and  eastern world.  , I could see the tired look on the  faces  of their  women.    Women  who   had   pulled     water   _ from  thousands    of>   wells    to    help  quench the thirst of thousands of  thirsty cattle!   Their   arms  were  r.ed  and   sore   frpm   hard   work  IJiey had done to help their menfolk  hang  on  to   the  land  they  had   bought,   or   preempted   in  order    to : take    the    pioneer's  chances in the. future.  I caught a quick glimpse of  solemn faced kids as they helped  their dad pitch hay down to the  horses that had just come in  from the: endless, heartbreaking  job of discing summer fallow so  the land would be free of weeds  in order to grow better grain, for  next year, because next year the  trains that thunder past at 20  miles per hour may be able to  get to Vancouver or the east.  .There is hope in their hearts  now. There is the slow starting  of a smile on their wan faces -as  they peer into the setting sun.  The words of their premier hang  in the still air. \"We will build  the PGE from Squamish to Vancouver.\" That is the reason for  their living. .They have faith in ^  democracy. They have renewed *  faith in their great country with  a potential that could easily feed  half the Oriental population.  There is. gold in the future and  what is even more important  they will.be able to send the kids  to school and then on to University. There is nothing to stop  their growth now. Too long have  they been stunted because they  had the guts and fortitude and  faith-to believe in the future of .  this trerrfendous land.      \\,  They can look down the long  lines of steel and see a branch  road from the Sechelt Peninsula  which now connects with the  Squamish-Vancouver line. They  can see the trucks from Sechelt,  Halfmoon Bay and Pender Harbour unload their loads- of produce into the hungry, ever-wait- .  ing box cars. The people of the  Caribou know that their railroad  now means an outlet.for the potential farming wealth of the  Peninsula. They feel glad because progress has come\" to. the  west.

Farmers are Assured  Kinsmen Assistance  GIBSONS and District Farmer's Institute have been assured of  \"full cooperation\/7 in the coming fall fair to be held  in  August.  Speaking at the supper meeting of the Kinsmen Club, Reg  Godfrey urged every member to get behind the farmers. \"They  ^aF^prebpl^^  fact that, this club needis money to operate on behalf    of    the  children,\" he said.  The club is expected to operate  the \"Midway\" at the fair. It will  be set up outside and will have  all the dubious attributes of a  real midway. _  Thfe club shares the profits  with the Farmers Institute. All  moneys raised by the Kinsmen  is used in their children's programs.  Bake Shop  GIBSONS\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdProbably one of the finest small fruit farming districts in the western hemisphere is right at our back door.  A brighter future may be in store for Gibsons district following disclosure by E. Clark, district horticulturist, that (1) the  Fraser Valley is rapidly running out of land favorable for small  fruit growing and (2) the natural attributes of this peninsula  will make this area the future small crop centre for the west  coast.  Clues to the optimistic future  \"lie in the proposal of local farmers to commence a 'glass pack'  this year. While more than 400  crates of strawberries are slated  for the local market. Thoughts  are even now turning toward installation of a deep freeze unit  to process fruit for far markets.  Land is reasonable and can be  cleared for very little outlay  compared to the estimated $1000  per acre of .the .Kootenay and  some parts of the Okanagan.  With a capacity to turn out  184 pounds of prize-winning jam  every nine minutes the new 30  by 40 feet cannery building will  play a big nart in the economic  future of this particular area, in  the mind of Cannery Superintendent Fred Holland.  The cannery, \"ready for operation at a few hours' notice,\" is  nearing completion and will carry an estimated value of $10,-  000 retail price. Farmers have  united in supplying the labor for  construction over a five-year  moratorium  plan.  Money for lumber has been  raised by virtue of ..a \"cutback\"  of a portion of one cent per  poiind of sales-for; the last.. few  years. The new building will  have a cement floor and time-  saving features which will undoubtedly cut down on the overhead,  according  to  Mr  Holland.  All fruit to be used in jam  making \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd one sample of which  won the world's championship'  in London, England \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd will be  washed on the spot.

Mrs Drew is well known in  this community, having once operated the Merry Ern Cafe, while  Mrs Kennett is an English war  bride who has had many years in  the catering trade in England.

The dance will highlight novelties and prizes. Spot dances  will also feature the event which  is aimed at boosting the funds.  301AH3S  VIKO]  AHVHSn 1VID .1\/ There Is a Brig  \". . . AND BELIEF in the brighter years to come.\"  These words sound like an excerpt from the  works of Mary Baker Eddy or writings of the late  General Booth of the Salvation Army.  They were uttered by a man who needed a  shave, who had one suspender button missing,  whose hat was ragged and whose hope in the  future shone like a piercing light. They were uttered by a local farmer who had lived and striven  with nature to build his farm from the bottom  land; a man who had spent.the best years of his  life growing crops for sale in the local market.  A man who has been called the backbone of the  country and the salt of the earth.  He shall remain nameless but he lives on  Cannery road and is typical of the men who are  backing the new cannery; of the men who have  backed the old cannery since its inception in the  hungry years of 1922.  This peninsula is even now looking and hoping for a new industry to bolster its economy.  We have it right here along the North Road, along  the cannery road and in every part of our back-  lands, heavy laden with the humus of decayed  alder leaves from centuries of autumn drops.  With construction of a new cannery, local  farmers have renewed their faith in, and pledge  to, the future. They are, as are provincial govern-  authorities, strong in the knowledge that here on  the southern end of the Sechelt Peninsula, lies  one of the biggest nuggets of farmers' gold, in the  whole of B.C.  Logging and fishing for the small hand operators are even now giving way to the big concern  with the money for line logging equipment and  funds to invest in creating a backlog over the lean  times. The men who are turned away from the  sikdtrails and the trollers have to find somewhere  to go. They have to find something close to na-  tuer where they can live the life they love and  raise and educate a family as well.  These things can be found, each year to  greater extent, in the district surrounding Gibsons.  Thoughts of a $100,000 annual turnover fox  the cannery alone are not fantastic. Crating ol  berries will be done this year for the local market. With every penny increase in income for the  farmer comes greater prosperity for the peninsula.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with the  dream which our farmers hold close 'to their  hearts. Based on sound common sense, the sense  of the farmer of which none is sounder, these  dreams can be a reality. ,        .  There is something about a man who works  on the soil, that is peaceful. There is something  about his everlasting optimism engendered by. an  ever recurring battle with nature that brings hope  to they who have the good fortune to meet with  these men of the hoe.  When a farmer from the North or Cannery or  Pratt's Road stops and squints his eyes into the  sun as he slowly grins that smile of content and  hope and indominitable courage, new hope can  bloom in the heart of the listener. When that  farmer can quote statistics to prove his point and  can add the weight of government to his arguments there is more than hope, there is belief.  The potential of small fruit lands in the  Fraser Valley is diminishing and it is the considered belief of the District Horticulturist that many  desirous farmers will come to the Sechelt Peninsula.  We would suggest to our local boards of  trade, busy as they are with other things, that a  little thought be given to the future of farming  in our district. It may be good business to get  some of the farmers on the various boards. Much  can be learned from these hard-headed people.  Much good can come of this type of meeting. Good which reflects in the dreams of our  farmers is there for the asking. Probably, even  assuredly the small fruit grower can be part of  the mainstay here. He and the tourist are our  best assets. We are very lucky and proud tc  have them.  They should be developed.  Readers Say ...

The statement is..unfair in that  the. Sechelt Board was never approached and never passed on  the matter in any way.  Our secretary did not receive  any official* word by letter nor  did any of the other officers  have any word about this matter  whatever.  , Casual reference was made  during the course of conversation to several members of the  executive of this board but those  same members were unfamiliar  with the circumstances and  would not pass on it without detailed   information.  Had proper representations  been made to this board there is  no doubt that the members  would have supported any application that had the interests of  this Peninsula in  view.  The Sechelt Peninsula Board  of Trade is making strenuous ef  forts to encourage the development of this area and to that end  has formed a committee charged  with the -responsibility of formulating a programme to give proper prominence to the many attractions which we have here.  This is no parochial effort.  This board has and will continue  to sponsor any endeavour which  will help our communities whether it be Gibsons or Pender Harbour or any other point that requires assistance within our  boundaries.

Was a very interesting  trip. They were away two  months and     travelled    through  battlefields  well  known  to   veterans  of the first    world     war,  Etapes   where   they . visited   the  war  memorial   in   the   cemetery,  Amiens,  St  Julienne,  Caen,   and  were in Paris for the ceremony of  the rekindling of the flame at the  tomb of the Unknown Soldier at  the Arc  de Triumph  on  August  4. On their way to Nijmegen they  were met by a representative of  the Netherland War Graves Committee   who  had   made   reservations for  them  at    Hotel     Ould  Laekendahl   a   quaint   old     Inn  built in 1400 and well known to  the   Canadians   as     an     officers  mess.   While   at   Nijmegen   Mrs  Bristow was given  a stone from  the  old  church  of  St   Stephan's  and Dutch tile from the fire place \ufffd\ufffd  of the famous  Inn to  be  placed  in  the Garden  of  Remembrance  at   Stanley   Park.   Mrs   Bristow  and Mrs. Bruin felt that the most  beautiful  of   cemeteries   was   at  Groesbeek   where   2498   of     our  Canadian boys are buried. All the  cemeteries  are  beautifully   cared-  for. They also visited Bergen op  Zoom  where   another   1339   sons  lie and many other places. Everywhere they were met with love  and  gratitude   and  through   this  little advance guard many others  will  be able  to  go  we hope  in  1952.  The weather was simply grand  but still we did not see as many  visitors as formerly, we hear  complaints about the state of the  place as a summer resort. One  walks to Porpoise Bay to admire  the beautiful view of the Inlet,  but never a seat in sight. One  either has to sit on the side of  the dirt road or perch on a dirty  log. The trails need clearing of  brush and the sidewalks which  the people use to get away from  the dust and speeding cars are  broken and rotted through in  places.  One  could have a nasty  accident if one were not familiar  with the weak places. No sanitary  facilities either. So it isn't much  use talking about publicity till  we clean up a bit. Certainly we  have lovely scenery, but that  didn't cost us anything. Our job  is to do something for the tourist when he gets here. Garbage  is being dumped along the lovely  trails also, and is anything but  nice. We walk and notice these  things.  Mr and Mrs W. McKissock took  the early morning boat to Vancouver just the day trip but isn't  it a good stunt. May do it ourselves sometime, Monday that is.

Plying between Liverpool, Greenock, and  Quebec City, the three-funneled speedster carried on her first  voyage the All-England Football Team (lower left), which included in its ranks such stellar performers'as Stan Matthews,  Britain's \"Mr Football\". The team, on a tour of Canada and  the U.S. will play in Vancouver and Victoria. Lower right inset  shows the skipper of \"Scotland,\" Captain E. A. Shergold. The  \"Scotland\" was known in pre-war days as the Empress of Japan,  largest and fastest passenger vessel on the Pacific Ocean, and  just two years ago she ended a protracted war service of eight  and a half years, during which time she steamed over 712,000  miles, the greatest mileage total of any troopship.:  f  I  CONGRATULATIONS  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  We heartily commend the Community Club for the  great job of cooperation and planning it has done.

ONE OF THE GANG  A child's desire to conform . .  to be \"one of the gang\" . . . is a  basic urge and parents should  make an effort to allow a child  to follow this instinct. Stubborn  insistence on a different form of  dress, different views and habits  on the part of the parents may  assume majo rimportance to a  child. Within reason the child  should be allowed to be like  other children in his neighborhood.  BEGINNING AT HOME  Mental health begins at home.  Medical men know that the foundations* of good mental health are  laid in childhood . . . the child  who grows up in a happy home  where he is loved and wanted  has a far better chance of normal  mental adjustment than the child  whose family life is the scene of  continual bickering -and disagreement. Your child's mental  health may be largely in your  hands.  To sell those billiard balls and  cues, advertise them in The  News.  STOCK-REDUCING  CLEARANCE  in  DRY GOODS  HARDWARE  CHINA  ETC.

If you have a fire, call  the phone office, Harry Winn  will sound the alarm, and boys  will be out quicker than that.  Give notice of fire,\" no matter  how small. Be safe, not sorry.  Also on the subject of fire, the  firehall building is expected to  be completed with voluntary labor for an approximate sum of  $1400, the $1600 remaining, will  then be earmarked for fire fight-  CHEYRON  GAS STATION  ing equipment. The boys understand that the cheaper they can  get their building finished, the  more will be there for fire equipment and they assure us that  there will be good value for  every dollar spent by them, and  that one and all can rest assured the building will be a credit  to the district, and the boys  themselves.  I hear there's a Great Dane going very cheap, is that right  John?  Dropped into the Anglican  Hall Tuesday evening to find a  very energetic group of ladies  under the leadership of Mrs V.  J.

Cannery Future  (Continued From Page 1)  will start coming onto the market in a very few days.  One of the more prominent  shippers of fruit and canned  goods, in Vancouver assured the  farmers here that \"you grow thel  fanciest and. best small fruits in  B.C.\"  \"These,\" said Mr Holland, \"are  the   main   reasons  for the  optimism of the Howe Sound Coop-,  erative Canning Association and  the clue to why we can raise sufficient   money   from   within   our  own ranks, including sale of land  to  the Gibsons municipality, for  construction of this fine cannery.  They, are   the   reasons   why   we  farmers are expanding and sinking   more   and   more   labor  and  money into our land. There is a  bright future before us. You people need look no further for an  industry which    can    materially  affect our economy. We have the  start right here in our land, our  energy and belief in the brighter  years to come.\"  Father O'Dwyer is now a permanent resident of Sechelt. His  rectory is now complete and  very handy to the church. We  hope to see the good Father  often attending to the needs of  his parish, and his ready smile,  and flashing good humor will be  appreciated by us.
