For the year 1947 the Board has endeavored to maintain the Hall on a paying basis and at the same time handle general Improvement and upkeep. Extensive work has been done to improve the kitchen. Stove overhauled, new counter and cupboards put in. It was also given , twd coats of paint. Much work was given as well as paid labor to the amount of over $60. All outside steps have been replaced. A projection box for the pic- . tures was put up without cost, thanks to Mr. Hughes and helpers. The roof of the stage was shingled at a cost of nearly $50, \/ the shingles were kindly donated by Mr. Y. Hammonds. During the year the board was\" increased from 5 to 14 members, new members coming in from various groups in Roberts Creek. The hall has been used fairly regularly throughout the year, mostly for local dances, etc., while two outside entertainers paid a visit, Everyman Theatre and the Exhart Bell Ringers. Mr. Gordon We:-* has had the hall once a week most of the year, but was absent during the Christmas holidays but came back on Jan. 16 with a,good picture, \"Keys of the Kingdom\".

Mr. Eric Anderson is progressing every day, also Mrs. Adam- YOUR NEW BRIViNG BESPOMSIBILITIES Public Safety and Financial Responsibility Amendments to the Motor Vehicle Act be- some effective March 1st, 1948. The purpose of the new legislation is to protect responsible motorists and pedestrians against irresponsible drivers\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto bring to all who walk and drive the roads a greater measure of safety. You are asked to study carefully the following, summary of the provisions of the law. This sum-, mary is in general terms and is not exhaustive. Complete co-operation by everyone is essential to make the Act work. 1. There will be suspension of both the driver's license and the vehicle registration where there has been a failure to pay within BO days a final judgment found by any court in Canada or the U.S.A. against the driver of a vehicle involved in ah accident resulting in bodily injury, death or property damage exceeding $25. 2. The auiomobiSe will be impounded and the right to drive suspended where the driver fails to produce to the authorities immediately following any accident resulting in injury, death or property damage exceeding $25: ' (a) a card which will be supplied by the Motor Vehicle Department proving financial responsibility, or (b) a card to be supplied by Insurance Companies proving that the driver carries public liability and property damage insurance. 3. If the driver's license is suspended for either of the above reasons, the license will remain suspended and the vehicle impounded until: (a) security is given for the damages estimated to have been caused, or, (b) the damages are paid, and in, addition, -..,..' (c) proof is supplied to the authorities of the offender's responsibility for future accidents. If, after the lapse of a year, no claim for damages has been established nor any lawsuit is j:i progress, the suspension will be lifted. 4. Where death, bodily injury or property damage exceeding $25 results from an accident in which the driver is convicted of any of the following infractions of the Motor Vehicle Act: (a) driving to the common danger, (b) exceeding any prescribed speed limit, (c) driving without a license, (d) criminal negligence, (e) failing to remain at or immediately return to the scene of the accident, or failing, te report the accident to the proper authorities, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles shall suspend the driver's license and . the vehicle registration. Suspension of the right to drive in such cases is a penalty awarded under the provisions of the law, and will only be relieved upon submission of proof of financial responsibility and upon satisfaction of any penalty imposed by the Courts. 5. Additional power is vested in the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles to suspend, at his discretion, the driver's license and the vehicle registration of any driver who fails to comply with any requirement of the Motor Vehicle Act or for any other reasonable cause. Driving privileges in such cases will be. restored where proof is given of financial responsibility for damages resulting frorcv > possible future accidents. An appeal may be made to the County Court for reinstatement of driving privileges. 6. The manner in which a person may be required to prove his financial responsibility \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhis ability to pay for the injury he does s others\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdis set out in detail in the legislation. The financial coverage afforded, by most public liability and property damage insurance policies is normally sufficient. For those who do not carry insurance of this nature, security sufficient to satisfy a maximum judgment for damages arising out of a possible motor vehicle accident- is required. 7. The legislation provides for reciprocal arrangements with other provinces and states. This safeguard forces visiting motorists to accept the same measure of responsibility as local drivers. 8. Where damage exceeding $100 for personal injury or death arising out of a motor vehicle accident are awarded by any court in B.C. and the defendant is shown to be financially irresponsible and unable to pay the judgment damages, payment may be secured by the plaintiff from a public fund known as the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund.

I have liad numerous phone calls and messages from those who ought to have been there and were not.

This lias been a long felt want as people coming down in a hurry from the camps found it difficult to get papers signed and Magistrate McKay was also a little difficult to contact owing to the distance between Selma Park.

THIS week I would like to take you a little deeper into our Indian history and tell you of the churches. In 1895 a group of Indians from the surrounding country of Sechelt visited the Catholic Church in New Westminster. They brought back a missionary in their* canoes, to look the situation over, but it wasn't till 1890 that the first church was built in Chataleech by the Order of Mary Immaculate, an order of French priests under Bishop Duriere. In 1906 the first Indian church was burned down. The Indians at this tiriie were very prosperous due to their work in logging camps. Of their own accord they went to Father Plumondon and said, \"we all want a new church, so every wbrk- ingman in our reserve will pay the sum of one hundred dollars to help build a new church.\" Father Plumondon was yery pleased and agreed. Every able bodied m_tn in the reserve set. to work with a will and soon the Indians had over $9,000 which ' Annual Reports THE ANNUAL vestry meeting of St. Aidan's Church, Roberts Creek, was held on Friday, Jan. 9, in the Kewpie Camp playroom. The vicar, Rev. C. H. Gibbs, was in the chair and presented his report for 1947.' Reports were also received from the women's auxiliary, Sunday school and the treasurer. The vicar gave thanks to all for their excellent support. The following officers were elected for 1948: Vicar's warden, F. W. Downes; people's warden, G. Bloor; delegate to Synod, G. Bloor; alternate delegate to Synod, B. Shepheard; secretary- treasurer, H. G. Findlay. The church committee consists of the* above officers, with the addition of the president of the W.A., 'Mrs. H. G. Findlay, and Mesdames Hewer, Hewitt, Har- bord, Maskell and Taggart. The Rev. C. R. Harbord will also sit in an advisory capacity. Auditor is Harry Smith. Votes of thanks were tendered to Miss K. Brydon for use of the camp, and to Miss M. Mclntyre for typing statements and to Mr. H. Smith for acting as auditor, also'to Miss A. Dawson and Mrs. C. Harbor for the faithful services as organists. A resolution was forwarded to the Rural Dean, suggesting that ladies be eligible for election to Synod. After the meeting closed, refreshments were served by the ladies of the W.A. they turned over to Father Plumondon. The lowest tender obtained, however, was $22,000, a great deal more than they had. After many conferences between the Indian council and Father Plumondon, they finally agreed that the best thing for all concerned Was doing the construction themselves. With Father Plumondon superintending, some 45 Indians and three Swedish carpenters built the church. It was completed in the record time of three months. There were originally four towers, but today, only one remains, a monument to a steadfast belief in a place of worship. Opinions expressed in signed letters to the editor and by our regular columnists are not necessarily those of The News. TOOLS and equipment valued at $200, belonging to the foreman of the Public Works department, O. Geirsh, are missing from the dock, and it\" is feared they were 'thrown overboard*. An investigation is underway. The damage that was done to this same dock, estimated at $500 around November of this year, was done by juveniles. Recent investigation has cleared up the mystery of fires, railings torn down, and doors smashed-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthree youths are being held responsible.

Under the proposed plan the territory covered by the Elphinstone Branch of the V.O.N, will be extended from West Sechelt to Madeira Park. This means the total area of the V.O.N, here will extend approximately from Gibson to Pender Harbour. Miss Robertson, district supervisor, promised that if the required amount of money were raised by the Elphinstone Branch the plan would be brought into effect by early fall and an additional V.O.N. Nurse will be stationed at Sechelt. Several school districts which at the present time have little or no medical services will receive regular V.O.N. service if the plan is brought into effect. Plans were also discussed for the formation of several new V.O.N. Auxiliarys. These will include an auxiliary at Sechelt and Selma Park. Last week the Gibson V.O.N. Auxiliary held their first meeting at the home of Dr. A. Inglis. Twenty-two members were present for the first meeting: lousseig THE importance of proper spacing in living and sleeping quarters is stressed in a message from Ottawa.

THE COAST NEWS, SECHELT, B.

They seemed \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\/rather disheartened about their trapping as they seem to be fighting a losing battle with the ) bears. \"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd We struggled out of bed about |8 a.m. Christmas Day (not used j^to these late hours you know) 'and after putting the turkey \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdin the oven we started making |the wrapping paper fly. One of jmy best presents was the look on ^George's face when he opened the; big box that had puzzled him from the; time I put it un- jder the tree. His one ambition was to go on the railroad, the other to. own a model train, so I bought him one of these Lionel electric trains, it is an exact replica of the cars and engines jused by the Penh, lines down to the minutest detail. After dinner on Christmas day the gang, Alice, Ted and Edward Jackson, ladys and Chuck Royal and ons Wayne and. David, Martin iley and George and I started ailroading and kept at it for ours. Sam McBride dropped in d he also took a ringside seat nd seemed quite content to take agirtary trips; on the new ppy SpeciaF. i Saturday following.

Once more we 'waltz quadrilled' and ducked for the oyster and digged for the clam (to the young fry, that's square dance talk), an excellent evening pleasantly spent, best wishes for many more Happy Birthdays, Mary. New Year's Eve we gathered at the cook house and fried out the new floor, pretty good too, but just wait till we get our hall! We had New Year's dinner at No. 2 Royal Ave., very nice Gladys and Chuck. After dinner there was a phone call for us from Eldred and Georgia Berry. They were visiting my folks so of course the whole family got in on that call. I got strict orders, from Dad that I was to be home next year for the festive season, sure nice to know you are missed (get the car in good shape for February, dad, I'll be home then.) We. finished t New Year's day off with a gathering of the Penny Poker Club at the Royals. Since then Chuck and Gladys have decided to sjick to a game of 500. (Chuck and I have been giving Gladys and George a real trimming at it too.) \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd*\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd* * We now have an addition at our house, Martin B..

Nor are they able to send us enough of their goods to balance accounts\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdor to pay us in the kind of money which we, in Canada, can use to buy goods in other, countries. At the same time, Canada has been buying more goods than ever before from the United States and other countries demanding U.S. dollars. This is because these goods were not obtainable elsewhere and because of demand pent-up during the war. Buying from the United States or U.S. dollar areas must, therefore, be temporarily reduced until our trading again becomes normal. Tomeetthis emergency, purchase of goods and services or expenditures for travel, which must be paid for with U.S. dollars, are now subject to control. IF YOU ARE AN IMPORTER OF CONSUMER GOODS and wish to find out what goods are (1) prohibited, (2) subject to quota, or (3) unaffected by controls, see ot write your nearest Collector of Customs and Excise. IF YOU WISH TO IMPORT GOODS SUBJECT TQ QUOTA and wish to establish your quota authorization to import, or need special information, consult-your nearest Collector of Customs and Excise; Quota application forms (E.C. 1) and instructions for completing them, are available at all Customs Offices. These applications must be filed with the Collector of Customs and Excise. IF YOU WISH INFORMATION ON THE AMOUNT OF YOUR QUOTA. After your application has been filed with your Collector of Customs and Excise, all correspondence about the establishment of quotas or cases of exceptional hardship through import prohibitions should be directed to Emergency Import Control Division, Department of Finance, 490 Sussex Street, Ottawa. Quotas are issued on a quarterly basis and any unused portion may be carried over into the following quarter. IF YOU ARE AN IMPORTER OF PRODUCTION PARTS, STRUCTURAL STEEL, stone, machinery or other capital goods or automobiles, and wish to know the import restrictions in these classifications, write or see Emergency Import Control Division (Capital Goods), Department of Reconstruction and Supply, 385 Wellington Street, Ottawa. IF YOU INTEND TO TRAVEL OUTSIDE CANADA and wish to know about foreign exchange available for this purpose, consult any bank or the Foreign Exchange Control Board, at Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, Windsor, Vancouver. If you wish information about personal purchases of goods made during travel outside Canada, consult the nearest Collector of Customs and Excise before departure. IF YOU ARE A MANUFACTURER, WHOLESALER OR RETAILER and wish information about excise taxes, or about the list of goods to which they apply, consult the nearest Collector of Customs and Excise. IF YOU NEED OTHER SOURCES OF IMPORTS consult the Foreign Trade Service, Department of Trade and Commerce (Import Division), Ottawa, regarding your supply problems arising from import quota restrictions. Through the Trade Commissioner Service, the Import Division is endeavouring to arrange increased supplies from the United Kingdom and other \"non-scheduled\" countries. IF YOU ARE A HOUSEWIFE and wish information on available alternate foods which have comparable nutritional values to those now prohibited or subject to quota, informational material which has been prepared by the Nutrition Division of the Department of National Health and Welfare may be secured from your Provincial Health Department or local health unit. The administration of these emergency import controls is the responsibility of various departments of the Government. The above information is given to aid Canadian citizens in complying with the new import control regulations with a minimum of incon- venience in their business and personal affairs.

Mr. Allan was awakened at 3:30 a.m. by the noise of articles falling in the kitchen. Going to investigate he was met by a sheet of flame. The fire had got such a start he had only time to get Mrs. Allan and himself to safety in their night attire Mr. and Mrs. Lowes next door \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd were awakened and Mrs. Lowes notiffdd the neighbors by pounding on doors\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe only method as there are no phones. Unfortunately Granthams fire- fighting apparatus was put, of order but it is unlikely it could have been of use 'as the house was a blazing inferno within 30 minutes. It was an awesome sight to stand helpless and\"watch a beautiful home ; go up in flames\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthat leapt away above the tree tops and whose glare extended to the gap in the west and.to the mountains in the east. Among all the neighbors who arrived within a few minutes stood Mr. and Mrs. Allan watching the efforts of a lifetime go up in flames. There was hardly a breath of wind and*with the exception of those who were guarding ad- joining houses, there was nothing one could do, but we could imagine the-^happy garden-parties that had taken place within 4hese grounds and how the door of that house had been opened to gatherings from far and near. During the war years this house had been headquarters of the Red Cross and the sign always above the,doo,r\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda bustling Hive of >.busy women working and packing hospital supplies for Canada and overseas. Within these burning walls were priceless art treasures, paintings, statuary, a splendid library and all the nick-nacks dear to the heart of the collector. As Mr. and Mrs. Allan stood there with the glare - of their burning home shining on their faces, dressed in clothes supplied by the neighbors, the heart of everyone present was sore for them, and w^hat brave faces they kept for the occasion as they smiled and tried hard to crack little jbkeis. Mrs. Allan was heard to say, \"And to think I had just washed all my windows yesterda^;S \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd &nd' Tbm waridered if he could borrow a set of false teeth. We would like to thank the Gibson Fire Brigade and Mr. Eric Inglis for responding so quickly to the fire alarm and to all the neighbors who turned out to give assistance and to Mr. and Mrs. Allan w<_r extend our sincere sympathy in their . great * loss.
