Les HempsaU appealed on behalf of UBC for donations: to ;ob\ufffd\ufffdain adequate educational fa-; ciiilties. He pointed out that between 1923 and 1945 no capital grants were given-to UBC by the government. Only by a resourceful staff and the enthusiasm of the students have classes been carried on as usual. In 1965 the expected en rollment at UBC will be 15,000 The university does not only benefit those who attend but tlhe knowledge gained there affects the progress of civilization. Mrs. Spencer ^introduced Mrs. V. ^ McDonald, president pf the B.C. Parent Teacher's Federation, whose first duty was to present Mrs.- Coates, Mrs. Pilling Mrs* Sargent and Mrs. Turner with past president pins. In her speech Mrs. McDonald said she felt all parents should be vitally interested iri an education which gives the best to every child according to his needs. She clarified the main policies concerning education: equal opportunities for every child,., consideration of the needs of every child, education for the masses and education the children can make use of themselves. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd..-. She stressed the fact the less you pay' for education the less you get in the final analysis. Mrs. McDonald feels that all parents should keep up with the latest advances in education, and be aware of just what is being taught in the child's classroom. unanimous Jimmy Sinclair, named Liberal candidate for Coast-Cap- ilario at the Saturday night convention of the Liberal AssociaV tidri, lost no time in getting his campaign underway, v ;px a 30-minute talk* to the 161' enthusiastic delegates attending the convention, he outlined his criticisms of the present Conservative government and explained in some detail his' party's proposals for correct ing the economic recession facing the country after only eight months of Conservative administration at Ottawa. He refused to blame the Conservatives for the economic down swing, describing it as ari over-all North American problem, but stated \"that the government under Mr. Diefenbaker has failed the country both by taking steps prejudicial to national recovery; and by failing to take action to correct the situation. He cited the statement of Mr. Diefenbaker, that a 15% switch in trade from the Unit- edtStates to the United Kingdom is desireafole, as one of the \"most foolish statements v ever made by a Canadian Prime Minister,'' and pointed out that it has already had a detrimental effect on trade with the UJS., Canada's biggtest and: richest customer. It has particularly hurt the western provinces in the fields of export of pil,^ timber, pulp and. paper, newsprint'and fish. ?.-,?-; '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Objective of the Liberal government will be, as it has always been, to expand trade with all countries of the world; ... Mr. Sinclair pointed with pride to the growth of trade during the administrations of the past two decades to bring Canada from the position of being the 16th- trading nation of the world to the fourth. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Explaining the Liberal platform, designed -\/to. give a stimulus to economic activity in the country, he explained that tax cuts, family assistance,, removal of the excise duty on automobiles and the enactment of a program of public works will do much to stimulate employment He had words of high praise for Liberal Leader Lester \"Mike\" Pearson citing his experience at the diplomatic' level as the best assurance that Canada will be able to play a strong and worthwhile part in the search for peace and understanding in a troubled world, when the Canadian people elect a Liberal National Government on March 31. 12yrs.old Mrs. McDonald divided the meeting into groups which discussed problems and questions which she could take with her to the Canadian Council of Education in Ottawa to be issued before the Royal Commission on Education. Many varied problems were presented by the group spokesmen. Some problems were grading of pupils according, to competitive class standard, parent teacher conferences, teacher's salaries, . standardizing basic curriculum-. across Canada and school entrance age. Mrs. Spencer said how concerned all PTA's are in the.&o. ciaP'w.elfare problem of Borstal and Woodlands School. She urged all associations in the area to send telegrams to the department of education\" protesting the reduction of staff in these institutions.

It is the desire of the gov- . eminent to blame everyone but themselves for the criticism which has emanated from all & groups in the community. . I suppose most people suffer from this type of projection at some time or another, but it has been worked to death.by our present government. The first person -to )* receive this projected abuse was -.Mr. Mel Bryan, member for North Van- couver. He crossed the floor of the house a few days ago to express his concern with the government's attitude on law en- . forcement towards its own members. I am referring to bribery charges against, the former minister of lands and forests, Mr. Sommers. Bryan was accused of being a \"plant''-by-some irate.Social. Creditors. He was accused\" of being self-seeking, and in the corridors some members of the government, said that he wanted to be minister of agriculture instead of Mr. Steacey. The premier .accused Mr. Bryan of packing a convention. The premier also accused the* press of giving undue emphasis to Mr. Bryan's remarks in the house. I would like to assure my readers that in my opinion Mr. Bryan is-an honest.and sincere person who took the actions he did as a matter of conscience. ? Mr. Shelford (S.C. - Omineca) has also attacked the government. As a farmer, Mr. Shel- ford's criticism was mainly aimed at cuts in the budget for the department of agriculture. He complained that district agriculturists had been removed from places sutti-' as Vernon, Kamloops and his own riding. Mr. Shelford said that it appeared that agriculture was a poor sister in the eyes of the government. The farmer feels alone in the struggle to survive, he said and \\vent on to say the government is too \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdworried about the vendor instead of the producer. He wondered whether the department of agriculture was not the department against agriculture rather than for agriculture. Im. mediately after Mr. Shelford made what he..thought were reasonable criticisms- of government policy, Mr. Steacey, our new minister ?of. agriculture, rushed out into the Speaker's corridor and accused Mr. Shelford of wanting his job. Mr. Steacey is a. new member of the legislature. ;He was elected in 1956 and possibly, does not know Mr. Shelford is one of the most highly respected niiehibers on,\" the floor of the house. As I said, Mr. S^elfbrd is a farmer from the northern part of British Columbia and is one of the most unassuming and sincere members that we have. Not only were, Mr. Stea-':<\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd- icey's remarks in poor taste,? but in my opinion riot true.' Mr:1 Black, prbvihcial secre- ? . 8ENTLEY ELECTRO;??, v-; \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd '' A\ufffd\ufffd tfre^?reeent an^ of the British; Columfta diwsion, Canadian Pulp\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd and ^per Association, TyN.;i5eaipre, executive vice-president, ? Columbia Cellulose? Company Limited, was elected chairman of the executive committee for 1958. Mr. L. L. G. Bentley, vice-president, Canadian Forest Products Ltd., was elected vice-chairman. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd * tary, in charge of mental hospitals,, has adopted the same attitude of' perfection. Mr. Black inferred; during his whole speech last (week, that it was not his departmental policies that were at fault, but just wicked newspapermen, politi- fciaris and others who were criticising the government to gain political advantage. * * * The fact of the matter is that organizations, such as the Vancouver Council of? Churches: \\ the B.C. Medical ^Association and the Canadian Association of Social Workers have taken substantially the same point of view as the opposition. Staffs have been cut ? and services have been reduced. How on earth can Mr:* Black explain the reductions in staff .in the Child Guidance Clinic? This is a team of skilled doctors arid social workers who: travel throughout the province examining children who are having psychological trouble with their school work. The \"purpose of the Child Guidance clinic is to discover and treat mental illness before the child's personality completely.-.\" disintegrates arid he needs institutional care. Gordon Dowding, CCF member for Burnaby, states there is a six-month delay in the examination of disturbed children by the Child Guidance Clinic and a 12-month delay m treatment. :. The government would be wise', if it listened to the contents of this criticism rather than trying to invent reasons, most of them fallacious, for the criticism. Flares make good night path Flares, once employed exclusively by railroad, men andu commercial . truckers as;.-. a.warning Signal, -have found a new use. Snowlovers have adopted them to form a pathway for\" night skiing. The flares, made by C-I-L at Brownsburg,. Que., burn with an intense yellow light for ten minutes. They are provided with a metal spike at the base and are ignited V by. rubbing the top\" with an abrasive cap which comes; wittlh each flare.

OVER 25 YEARS INSURANCE EXPERIENCE tsmtmuwmm tion showed great progress made during the year. Freer use of the Small Debts court was advocated and will be acted on by members. The collection statement, given month by month, showed plainly how the amount collected had been very much increased when freer use of the Small Debts court had been adopted. The matter of a few who had been members and had discontinued ' membership using the collection pads was discussed. It was pointed out that only bona fide members could use these and the. secretary- treasurer was instructed to obtain from any who were using them in an unauthorized way, any unused letters. It was hoped no action would be necessary to effect this. Adoption of the credit application suggested by Tom Down- ie of the Credit Bureau pf Vancouver was thoroughly discussed and the secretary treasurer asked to arrange for a supply so that all members (could obtain them. During the discussion the secretary-treasurer reported every week he is receiving enquiries about people 'who have moved to this district and have left unpaid claims behind them. These enquiries come from Vancouyer, Cranbrook, Chilliwack, New Westminster, etc. He reported he had received seven in one ..week. A close checkup by the use of credit applications will be used by all members, effective at once. A change is being made in the issuing of'the collection letters so that full control of their use will remain in the hands of the association and none used by unauthorized perr sons. The system will be fully ADVERTISEMENT LETS TAKE STOCK When a person doubts the ethics of. an advertising business, concern, he has, access to the records of a Better Business Bureau, and -can -be-advised-of matters touching his pocket di- ,rectly>? But in the. case of big deals such as oil and gas trans-; mission lines, huge' areas of , forest lands, the individual citizen has little to say. Governments, both provincial and federal, find it good business to make loans or 'give away our natural resources to their friends. The Natural Resources commission sitting in Calgary shows that the promoters of oil and gas lines are not interested in producing for usjfr but? for producing profits with particular emphasis on stock deals. The generosity. in relation to timber is well known to all. When election time rolls around the voter is asked to take stock and elect at party who will best serve his interests. The old.line parties are supported financially by their friends in big business and must reward them..

Little being elected president, following the lead of the Village of Sechelt in electing a lady as chief commissioner;^ Norman Watson, vice- president and Leo Johnson, vvally Berry, Dick Fitchett and Bob Little as directors. ' All at the meeting fully agreed that 1958 is going to be made a year of decided and definite attack on the \"dead- beat\" situation with a close scrutinizing of all new applications for credit and 'close cooperation with the other credit bureaus of the province.

We, therefore, wish to clarify outr position in the minds of the taxpayers whom we represent.\nWe have no argument with our teaching staff, indeed we feel\nthe relationship between Board and staff Hn our district has\nbeen on a high plane, and! we are confident that good progress\nis being made 'in-.tour, schools. It was for this precise reason\nthat we felt justified in our decision to grant an increase of\napproximately.9% in the salary scale throughout the district.\nUnfortunately; however, our offer came far, far beiow the original 38% requested by the Teachers' Salary Committee, and\nafter two lengthy meetings, without satisfactory progress, wc\nrealized, that some positive action was necessary if the apparent increase in local mill rate was to be curtailed. It was,\ntherefore, decided by the Board, after advice, to be guided by\nthe provisions of Section 47 (1) (2) of The Public Schools Act.\nIn consequence, when our offer was once more turned down,\nformal notice was submitted to the Teachers' Association that\nthe 1958 salary schedule had been fixed by the Board of School\nTrustees, at a schedule showing an increase of 9.17% over the\n1957 salaries. The teachers had the recourse.of demanding ai*-\nbitration, but did not choose to do* so. ,\nBy way of information to the taxpayers, an analysis of the current payroll shows that teachers in our School District are\nnow receiving the following annual salaries, after ailecting\nthe current increase:\nOut of 55 teachers in School District No. 48\n6 receive from 2900 to 3300\n7 receive from 3600 to 4000\n& receive from 4000 to 5000\n17 receive from 5000 to 6000\n9 receive from 6000 to 700\u00bb\n5 receive from 7000 to 8200\nfor a total jrnonthly payroll of-$27,674.00\nAll salaries are subject, to an automatic annual increase until\nthe maximum is reached and the above rates inctode. supervision allowances for specific positions in-each school- In ad:\ndition to the foregoing the Board pays Grounds \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwages and supplies ___ $ 2,363.29 Buildings \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd wages and supplies 21,648.76 Equipment \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd wages and supplies 3,779.98 Sundry _; _ : __ 3,805.70 CONVEYANCE'OF PUPILS Outside contracts __$ 52,057.81 Other conveyance expense ;_. 456.89 \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd' AUXILIARY SERVICES: Health \"__ \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-___________ NON-OPERATING EXPENSES ^ ' Payments to other.school boards _____ _________ 210.00 Text book rentals ______ '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd_______ 2,021.50 $ 16,816.40 263,046.52- 54,586.05 31.597.73 52,514.70 7,551.75 2,231.50 DEBT SERVICES: v.

Jsnot dp P^nn'^r Naylor. Dated Jam. 27th, 1958. - People moan about a one point increase in the cost of living but they say little about the heavy increase in insurance 'costs. In these days when we measure progress by leisure time, why are we in a hurry? People will not slow down to* save their lives but they will to save their car licenses. These and .other remarks were passed by Ralph Harris, representative of the All-Canada Insurance Federation when he addressed the Kiwanis club of Gibsons at last week's meeting in Danny's Dining Room. The remark about people slowing down to save their car licenses but not their lives he attributed to a governor of '57 fish catch income s lips British Columbia fishermen grossed $29,900,000 in 1957, according to the annual fisheries catch repprt issued by A. J. WMt- more, chief supervisor of Fish- ;? eries. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The salmon catch totalling 135,- 800,000 pounds-showed a 17 percent increase, over 1956, but because of the reduction in the landings of higher priced sockeye coupled tyith lower prices for troll caught fish, the landed;value lo fishermen declined by $2)500,- 000 for a. total of $18,885,000. Pink salmon fed last year's salmon catch both in volume anl value with 57,000,000 \"pounda\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'?' worth $5,374,000. Sockeye landings, while fourth in importance from a volume standpoint, were valued at $4,427,000. Chum salmon, also caught mainly by net fishermen, totalled 27,240,000 pounds with a value of $2,426,000. While the total number of salmon caught in 1957 was down from the average in the period 3,951-1957 the catch of pinks and coho was the highest since the heavy year, 1951. Catches' of chums and sockeye were not up to expectations. Troll fishermen reported a total of 14,440,000 pounds of coho and 9,680,000 pounds of springs.- . Herrmg fishing in..the.jcalen- ... , dar year was affected by a strike of fishennert, which kept land- i rigs down to negligible. quanti \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd ties during the normally busy fall months. Although summer herring landings were highest on record the year's catch totalled only 147,000 tons with a value of $4,892,000,'nearly 100,000 tons short of the -record 1956 catch which brought $7,077,000. The halibut fishery, which of * ' recent years has operated in a split season under recommendations of the International Halibut Commission, *ended with a total catch by Canadian iisher- ^men 'of- 22,542,000 pjunds, about 800,000 pounds less than the 1956 catch: However, lower unit prices made the total landed value of $3,673,000 compare unuavourably with the record $5,0o7,o6o obtained in 1956. Landings of trawl caught fish were up over recent years al-. though >the sole catch was down slightly with -just under 8,000,- . 000 pounds, as compared with f 8,300,000 pounds in 1956. However landings of gray cod were highest on record at 6,540,000 # pounds valued at $311,000. Black cod landings of 1,500,000 pounds were highest since 1951 and the ling cod catch of 4,750,000 pounds was in line with returns of th.s species in recent years. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Demand for fish as mink feed, fell off sharply and landings oi species used in this market, dropped to 3,700,000 pounds as corn- pared with 11,000,000 pounds in 1956; Clam production remained at low levels with a total production of 3,800,000 pounds. (The crab catch declined by 20 per- \\ cent from the high level seached m 1956, but shrimp and prawn \"'. catches? reiched ^a^in^h^gh.. wi th \" \ufffd\ufffd600,000 oounds. \"'\"^'-; ..* Oyster production dropped o-'.'f sharfciy with a total of 67,000 gallons; as compared, with .nearly * 90,000 gallons in 1956. Connecticut who after a crackdown on speeders in which heavy penalties were imposed plus the taking away of licenses was fhoved to comment that people preferred*to obey the law when licenses are involved but did not seem- to worry% when lives were concerned. Mr. Harris,, from Toronto, . was introduced by Ed Johnson and thanked after his speech by Harold Wilson. It is the second time Mr. Harris has spoken in Gibsons. Mr. Harris in his position as public relations counsel for insurance companies travels across Canada striving to get across the message that it is the public who make insurance rates what they are and not insurance companies. His discussion was based on the insurance fouyerJs point of view coupled with the follies of human behavior. Taking fire as an example, he said there were eight fires an hour in Canada and 500 persons died through 'fires annually.. Careless smoking was the basis of most fire (claims. Turning to auto insurance he said only three companies showed a profit in such business last year. Total car insurance paid out during the year was $141,000,000 which could- have been used for establishment, of 80,? hospitals,v 200 schools or 50 universities. This*. important impact on the Can- Pointing out that only ten percent of accidents were unavoidable he asked what one can do individually to correct driving habits and he suggested keeping a car in good mechanical condition, observe all rules adian economy could be used to.great advantage on something constructive. Three thousand ' persons were killed and 65,000 injured, a sufficient population for 13 small cities. Ninety percent of car acci-. dents are caused through drivers' folly. Mr. Harris recalled an ancient, law which forbade gluttpny, dice playing or other folly and termed unsafe speed as gambling and driving on the wrong side of the road, reckless driving, impaired driving. and failure to give right of way as Guaranteed Watch & Jewelry Repairs Chris* Jewelers Mail Orders Given Prompt Attention Work done on the Premises Phone Sechelt 96 gluttony. of the road, maintain speed and intervals, do not compete with the driving fool, do not drive until two hours after the last drink, and assume financial responsibility. Public opinion should let lawmakers know they want road laws enforced,-he said, winding up his remarks with the expression of the governor who said people preferred to save their car licenses rather than their lives.
