Council decided the Municipal hall would foe opened Monday, Fefo. 27 to expedite the issuance of motor car licenses to the public. This is done each year towards the end of the period when licenses are issued. Council was informed foy the provincial surveyor of taxes that the West Porpoise Bay extension now a part of the village has a tax assessment totalling $982 and that on 1966 taxes only $79.67 has been paid leaving $903 unpaid. The assessor said he would advise ratepayers there to make them payable to the village Municipal office. When a building permit was sought for a suite on top of C & S store, an', argument arose as to the need of copies of village bylaws so that members of council would be able to express an opinion respecting them when questions way be asked covering subjects covered by bylaws. Clerk Ted Rayner explained there are about 75 bylaws on record, half of them being not current. He suggested that it would be better to await the result of Municipal Act revisions expecjte^.b\ufffd\ufffdfore;^thie legislature and that it would also be better to wait to see just how the new regional district would operate. Councillor Morgan Thompson moved that these bylaws be prepared for councillors toy June IS. The clerk replied he could offer no guarantee. Councillor Ray Clarke report ing on Hackett Park declared he Saw Centre saws with the only expense involved the use of the saws. Men have been cleaning up the park and felling dangerous trees. No labor costs are involved, he said. When the school board budget was presented for council's approval Councillor Morgan Thompson requested it be left over until the next meeting and in the meantime copies be obtained for each member of council so they could foe perused. However after the chairman advised that it be passed a vote was taken resulting in a divided council two-to-two with the chairman casting his first deciding vote in favor of approving the school board budget. Council will apply to the district director of health for the nursing care program covering the village. This would entail a cost of 10 cents per person in the village, the total amounting to $49:60.

One, on Saturday at about 3:30 p.m., involved Albert Rorison, 70, of Port' Mellon in an accident when his car ended up against a pole at the entrance to Port Mellon from Gibsons. He is in St. Mary's Hospital with internal injuries. The second mishap about 4 p.m. Tuesday afternoon occurred on a private driveway when a car driven by Syd Basey struck a tree. Two passengers, Rolph and Greer were taken to hospital where multiple stitches were found necessary to close lacerations on the face. the council for the gift and their good wishes. .,; As an expression of appreciation for her work on their behalf Mrs. S. Dawe presented Mrs. Johnston with a beautifully designed gold brooch, suitably engraved From the People of Sechelt 1956-1966, also a scroll which had been lettered and decorated by Brother Mac- Donald of the Residential School. Mrs. Johnston expressed her pleasure and sincere thanks for these two gifts from the people of Sechelt with their kind thoughts and good wishes.

The failure of the naval Destroyer escort Yukon to turn up any trace of the tug Gulf Master off Trail Island is disappointing Cecil Cosulich, president of the Riv Tow Marine Ltd., owners of the lost craft, declared in an interview with the Coast News. Mr. Cosulich felt there we're two broad possibilities for the sinking, one that she went down for some unknown reason in the middle of the Bay, or more likely the Gulf Master might have piled up on an inshore rock and slid off into deep water. Reluctantly, and only after exhausting every possibility offered toy the electronic search equipment, both on board the company's search vessel Redfir 9 and the Yukon, Riv Tow would now be compelled to turn the locating of the wreck over to the underwriters. One remaining clue is the stcry of a woman eyewitness on Mission Point. She told of an unusual occurrence, a boiling up of the waters off the Point lout soundings of the search vessel, which after repeatedly cruising that area could raise only a low reading on the magnometer, not sufficiently high to be the boat. However it is possible the underwriters will explore this bare possibility on the strength of this eye witness story, engaging local scuba divers to makeja further attempt to lo- ^^clrte the^sihikeh ';tu_v~-- ' $ over % over % of 1967 % of 1966 1966 1966 (budget budget Administration 6,647 8.8 5.2 5.7 Instruction 84,707 11.5 51.9 55.8 i(Teachers salaries 75,103 11.5 46.1 49.6) Operation 57,205 40.7 12.5 10.7 .Repairs, Maintenance 48,011 62.6 7.9 5.8 Transportation 842 1-0 5.2 6.1 Aux..

J. C. K. Deevy of the Sechelt RCMP for his untiring vigilance in tracking down any possible, clues. Mr. Cosulich made an urgent plea that if anyone in the Davis Bay or the slightest evidence of wreckage, adrift or on shore, to in- Scchelt area came across even form the RCMP at Sechelt or call direct to Riv Tow Marine, Ph. FA 5-8231 Vancouver. It's like working on a jigsaw puzzle, said Mr. Cosulich, every piece has to be in place before the picture is completed, a grim puzzle that may yet reveal the cause of the unexplained loss of a well-manned, well equipped, highly seaworthy, tl:ree-year old metal-hulled tug, tr.king with her all five members of her crew off Sechelt Farbor on a squally wintry Jan. 11, 1967. The school board's budget for the calendar year 1967 is 19.9% higher than the 1966 \/budget. The actual dollar increase is $262,085, resulting in a budget which has now, at $1,580,806 topped the one and a half million dollar mark for the first time. However, the increase is lower, both in dollars and percentage, than the increase in budgets between 1965 and 1966. Neighboring and similar sized school districts are experiencing similar budget increases ranging from 20 to 27%. Almost half the budget increase is .caused by increased salary costs. Teachers salaries alone account for 46.1% oi the entire budget. A 25% increase in funds for teaching supplies for kindergarten pupils, the provision of a minimum of $50 for athletic supplies in small schools a. 75% increase in funds for library books for elementary pupils, and; the doubling of funds for music supplies-for Elementary pupils, and special allotments for home economics and industrial education courses are other factors. So is the implementation of a plan which will almost double the clerical assistance given to schools in order to help free principals and teachers from clerical work and enable them to devote more time to education. The board has also provided funds to hire two school librarians, a music teach er for Elphinstone Secondary School and a specialist to help students with physical or mental learning problems. Operating, repairs and maintenance and capital costs show heavy percentage increases. One of the biggest is the $28,750 figure set aside for the rental of portable classrooms due to the current government freeze on school construction, which prevents the board from building classrooms approved by the owner electors under Referendum No. 8. Another factor is the provision of adequate funds to upgrade all school sites over a period of years in conjunction with the Board's new landscape architect. Also, more lease lights are being provided around schools to increase night time security. Small additions to the Davis Bay and Roberts Creek Elementary Schools and Pender Harbour Secondary School are planned, mainly to provide much needed storage facilities. One happy note is the fact, that, in spite of increased appraisal values, better coverage,, allowance for coverage on possible construction this year and. the provision of boiler insurance overall insurance costs have been reduced foy more than 14% due to the introduction of the primary and excess system of fire insurance. The transportation section of the budget shows the smallest dollar and percentage increase in the budget, due to the board's decision not to provide transportation for kindergarten children. There has, however, been a 50% incease in funds for extra-curricular travel foy school children. Dental program costs have been reduced as there appears to be a probability that the Coast Garibaldi Health Unit will confine its dental program to the Pender Harbour area in 1967, in view of the permanent presence of a dentist at Gibsons. Firemen awarded mugs ttt f, t**tS*+S Kinsmen of Gibsons have been hard at it this past week in mailing out 1,600 Mothers' March appeal letters for release on Tuesday. They hope the people of this area will respond to this annual appeal with open-hearted generosity that has characterized the previous door to door canvass. Twenty-seven members of Gib sons and Area Volunteer Fire department at the annual banquet in Danny's Dining Room, given to the firemen by the council of Gibsons village, received their Service Mugs. Firemen are not paid for their services during the year. Among the 27 who received their awards are Fred Feeney, Norman Mackay and Bob Wilson each dating back to 1947. John Wilson joined in 1948, Bill Scott, the chief, in 1954 and Marvin Volen with Herb Winn in 1954, Cliff Mahlman in 1955, Roy Malyea, Ed Kullander and Fred Holland in 19158 with Brucfe Campbell joining in 1959. Fifteen others range from 1960 to 1966 with two more being on probation since late last year. The Service Mugs have the date of joining the department engraved on them and on leaving the department that date will be added. A presentation of a fly fishing rod with shiny gang trolJ was made to Roy Malyea, the former secretary of the fire de partment for a good many years With the aid of a landing net, part of the presentation, it is expected he will enjoy many hours in a pleasurable way. Owing to the absence of Councillor Fred Feeney, fire committee chairman who was filling in in North Vancouver on a key job for hs employer, B.C. Telephones, Councillor Ken God- dard, present with his wife Lorraine thanked the firemen on behalf of council for their fine efforts during the year, including the time taken on weekly practices. -; Fire Chief Bill Scott thanked council on behalf of the volunteer firemen for its co-operation in strengthening the department for service in the village area.

Unity in the Community gets things done The school board budget If the government of British Columbia can add a whopping $82 millions of dollars to its budget for 1967 with practically no public outcry there should not even be slight murmurings over the $262,000 increase to the district school board's budget for the year. It might be right at this point to point out after close examination of the budget that total wages and salaries reach $946,141 and if one adds transportation costs, that of .pupils foy fous and travelling allowances due to the widespread nature of the school district, one gets the figure of $1,032,081 \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd this before one considers other fixed expenses, building maintenance and supplies and possible capital expenditure.. Having eliminated salaries, wages and travel expenses, there are other fixed expenses covering defot servicing, heat, light, fuel, water, insurance and now rentals, as the fooard is forced into the position of renting those round school rooms at a cost of $28,750 this year because the government has placed a freeze on new construction. The total of these fixed expenses is in the region of $275,000. This leaves the school fooard slightly less than $300,000 for general maintenance and exigencies that are bound to arise. The moral of it is that the individual who will pay only one dollar in taxation due to the home-owner grant is in a more favorable position to have a good night's sleep more often than does a member of the school board, not only when battling with the budget but during the rest of the year. All government costs, federal, provincial, municipal and school fooard are rising not only due to pressures from inflation but because of public demand and in the case of British Columbia because its government is denying lesser governments the right to operate in a normal manner. The power of education is being throttled by another type of power which has the right to exist but not at the expense of education. Municipal councils are viewing with great concern the problem of educational budgets. They have the right to question the total budget but cannot arbitrate specifics within the budget. The claim has foeen made that municipal councils are asked to approve a pig- in-a-poke. This is correct because they have no knowledge of what will foe the actual cost to the taxpayer. The education department apportions by formula how much of the budget costs the government will pay leaving the remainder for the taxpayer to pay and the municipal government to collect and hand over without question to the school fooard. Further it is expected to pay to the school fooard before it collects any of the school tax, a certain portion of the school budget. Many have to resort to the bank for some of these payments during the early part of the year. Some do not which places the school board in the position of having to get money with which to carry on from the bank. No one in their right senses can claim this is an equitable situation. Further troubles are added when the provincial government is unable to place on the money market debentures already approved by the taxpayer for necessary expansion of school affairs. With a provincial government piling up surplus after surplus it is about time the taxpayer took a good long look at provincial government .management of school, hospital and municipal affairs and provincial government policies concerning the same. The carrot, representing the home-owner grant, now being dangled before the eyes of the taxpayer, is blocking the view. While the public remains apathetic, this will continue. COAST NEWS 19 u: ins ii,ii It was reported that the Headlanders are dropping all thought of amalgamation plans. Winter held the Cove in an icy grip all last week, a thick sheet of ice covered the approaches to the govt, float, so no boats called. New president of the Gibsons Recreational Society is Eric Inglis with J. Drummond, vice- president and Cliff Leach, secretary. Many residents of Sechelt who remember Miss Bette Fee as a school teacher here in 1942 and 1943 heard her speak over the air from London. February has had a record for storms, and the loss of the ferry. The Island Flier is an example of the need for a telephone line to Gambier Island. A recent visitor to Kleindale was Father Baxter of Sechelt Residential School. He held a first mass in Pender Harbor Sunday in the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. Dubois. Thirty minutes from Sechelt to Vancouver! Twenty minutes from Gibsons to Bayshore Inn! This is the type of daily express air passenger and freight service Al Campbell, owner- manager of Tyee Airways, hopes to inaugurate on acceptance of his company's brief now in preparation for submission to the Air Transport Board, Ottawa. Mr. Campbell maintains there is sufficient volume of (business for both passenger and freight not already being handled by any other air carrier in this region to justify such a service. If sanctioned by the air transport board, existing passenger rates could automatically be reduced from the present $31 one way charter flight to at least $9. The proposed extension of the Tyee Airways present service, which extends from Sechelt to Jervis Bay, serves at least 25 licensed points including Nelson Isle, Pender Harbour, Egmont, Salmon Inlet, Secret Cove, Thornamby Isle and Gibsons. An air service from these points to Vancouver would be of the greatest service to loggers, Port Mellon mill workers and booming grounds, business people, summer commuters at Gambier and Keats, booming contractors at far out points such as Nelson Island and Salmon Inlet. It would also supply a fast air freight service at reasonable rates for emergency supplies and men. Such an extended service would also be an important adjunct in aiding the further growth and industrialization of Gibsons and Sechelt. Mr. Campbell explained that due to the economic fluctuation of the logging industry, we must look to other sources of revenue such as the summer tourist industry and people on the move from Sechelt and Gibsons. The problem facing the Tyee Airways is to maintain and improve the present schedule. She obvious solution lies in extending the present schedule to Vancouver. Such an extension would not cut into the operating revenue of other air carriers, he said. At the present time the Tyee fleet consists of a seven-passenger Norseman, two three- passenger Cessna 180's and a Cessna 185 on order. With the granting of'the extension of its schedule through to Vancouver, this fleet would be increased by at least one six-passenger Beaver and the addition of further aircraft as the expansion of the service warrented. The company based in well sheltered Porpoise Bay maintains a modern quonset repair shop hanger and is in constant contact with its aircraft by two- way radio. The present staff includes four pilots with total of more than 12,000 hours of accident free operation. A licensed air mechanic and des- patcher secretary completes the operational staff. In support of this proposed Vancouver-Gibsons-Sechelt run, R. G. Bentall, vice-president, Dominion Construction Co. Ltd., Vancouver writes that as a resident of Keats Island, it would mean a great deal to have air service to the Gibsons-Keats Island area.

Letters must be brief, signed and your address shown. Send to \"Point of Law,\" c^\/o this newspaper. Q. What do the letters Q.C. after a lawyer's name mean, and what is the difference between a barrister and a solicitor. A. Q.C. stands for Queen's Counsel but it doesn't mean much in Canada except in B.C. In Britain, the title originally meant that a lawyer.was eminent enough to be retained by the Sovereign. If the Sovereign was a king the initials K.C. were used. The award of this honor soon came to be given to any eminent barrister whether he acted for the crown or not. English lawyers are divided into two separate professions\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd barristers and solicitors. Barristers appear in court. Soli\\%- lors cannot conduct court cases but draw wills, deeds, mortgages, contracts, incorporate companies, etc. A lawyer in England cannot be both a barrister and a solicitor. A client cannot consult a barrister directly but must do so through a solicitor. In Canada, most lawyers are both barristers and solicitors. The English system is by far the best but as only about one tenth of lawyers are barristers, the introduction of the system here, as has been suggested, would work a considerable hardship on clients in small towns where a barrister could not find enough work to do. One would have to be brought in from the larger cities where POINT OF LAW Of ~\/r fJraclicinp JLawyw they would tend to congregate. To return to the honor Q.C, this in Canada has degenerated into a piece of political patronage, except in B.C. where it is reserved for a small percentage of the profession. About one-half the lawyers outside B.C. are Q.C.'s. There are more Q.C. in the city of Toronto than in al of Britain. This empty honor not only does not indicate court room ability fout has even been awarded to sheriffs and librarians who were also lawyers. Unfortunately, even in B.C., there is some evidence of late that what should foe only an honor and reward for ability as a counsel is becoming a reward for political services rendered. A HUGE FOLDER A brochure, believed to unfold into the biggest state travel folder in the U.S., is available from the nation's biggest state. Alaska has just produced a 24 by 36 inch full-color information piece which contains more than 65 pictures and lots of how-to-go, when-to-go and where-to-go information about the 49th State. Available from Alaska, too, is the 49th State's 1967 Calendar of Events folder which lists approximately 200 events of interest to visitors. These vary from traditional sled dog races and skiing in the winter to a number of once-only festivals and spectaculars to be staged this summer in honor of the Alaska Purchase Centennial.

The people on Keats Island have found the ferry service from Horseshoe Bay to Keats Island awkward and frustrating. To have a schedule air service from downtown Vancouver would be a tremendous advantage and would serve to reduce both time and cost. Furthermore there are many visitors who come to the Island during the summertime and it is most difficult for them to take the various forms of transportation right from the downtown area, he maintained. \"I, therefore, feel that if this service can be effected it would be well supported by the residents of Keats Island, and can assure you that Mr. H.

Additional zoning districts would be an unnecessary complication. However, should the village boundaries foe extended it would probably be necessary to add a heavy industry zone, a small holdings or agricultural zone and possibly others to cover such things as extractive industries. ZONING POLICY Until such time as the sanitary sewer, storm drainage and water supply systems have been improved, there will be problems in accommodating most kinds of major development. For this reason we suggest that Council adopt a conservative policy in the Plan Section of the Zoning Bylaw. The possibilities of major harbor improvements and urban renewal projects also favor a conservative policy until decisions have been made on these matters. SINGLE FAMILY ZONE The Single-Family Zone is intended to regulate only those areas where more expensive houses are built and where there is likely to be some local demand for this type of zoning. Only the bluff is suggested for this Zone. We do not believe that it is either necessary or desirable to zone any of the remaining residential areas for single family housing only. If, however, there is a reasonable request, say, in connection with a replotting scheme, or in areas subsequently, incorporated into Gibsons Landing, extension of the single family zone should be considered. TWO-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONE The Two-Family Residential Zone which. is proposed for most of the residential portions of the village differs principally in that duplexes and second suites would be permitted. The requirements would ensure that the residential character of the areas covered by it would be preserved. However, because of the lack of sanitary sewer facilities in the village, it is ijecommended that two-family dwellings require the approval of the Medical Health Officer. MULTIPLE RESIDENTIAL ZONE The Multiple Residential Zone is intended to provide areas for apartments and other multiple residential development including conversions where they may be rationally related to the services, facilities and other development in the village. The existing demand for apartm ent accommodation would appear limited. The new, 34 unit block on .School Road plus one or two similar sized projects would probably satisfy the locally generated demand within the immediate future. Beyond this, additional new multiple . development would have to jbe based on changed conditions. One possibility is the increased popularity of apartments for retirement living; If the village, through improvements to the harbor and other facilities, can improve its .competitive position as a place to live, it could expect to attract a substantially increased retirement population. This would, of course, increase the demand for other types of housing in the area. It would not seem possible to arrive at an accurate estimate of future demand for multiple residential land at the present time. Within the foreseeable future we would expect that most new multiple development would take place on vacant land. Given the relatively low price of land in the village and the availability of vacant sites, we would not expect that existing buildings would be cleared except along the waterfront. Consequently we propose a fairly generous zone for multiple dwellings in our long range proposals. The zone would cover all existing apartment and multiple development not included in the commercial and waterfront zones. The proposed multiple zone covers those areas which in our opinion are most suitable for apartments and smaller multiple structures including lodging houses and .tourist homes.

They would foe suitable for smaller multiple structures and conversions. It should toe noted that apartments, are also permitted in the commercial and waterfront zones. For the immediate situation, and until the water system is improved and sanitary sewers and treatment are provided, we .recommend that the Multiple Residential Zone generally be limited to those properties in residential areas currently used for multiple purposes. We have proposed one, rather than two or more multiple zones. We believe that with the limited amount of multiple development that can be expected and the other possibilities for controlling the relationships between multiple residential and other forms of development that this would be unnecessary. The suggested requirements of the zone would permit a wide range of multiple housing forms including high rise apartments, even though they are unlikely to be built in the immediate future. The regulations would relate the permitted feet per dwelling unit; would control the height of buildings in relation to nearby one and two family zoned properties; and would limit ground coverage on the basis of different building heights. In this way, one zoning classification can serve to control development in a variety of situations. We have at the same time, tried to keep the nature of the controls simple while allowing flexibility of development. GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONE The objectives of the General Commercial Zone are to provide an area where a wide range of intensive commercial uses can Ibe .developed in a compact form. For this reason extensive uses such as service AVAILABLE FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE Centennial Medallions 50c St. Mary's Hospital Auxiliaries Cook Book $1.75 at the Coast News GIBSONS stations and car sales lots are excluded. This zone would cover the existing commercial development in the main commercial area along Marine Drive and Gower Point Road. The regulations would permit flexibility of development for both small and large scale projects. Given the existing breakdown of ownership and the larger sites available elsewhere we would expect that most new development in ths area would probably be on an individual lot basis. HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL ZONE The purpose of the Highway Commercial Zone is to provide Coast News, Feb. 9, 1967. 3 areas for more extensive commercial uses, particularly those associated with automobiles, where they will not interfere with other types of development. Service stations^' drive-ins and used car lots are among the uses that would be permitted in this zone but excluded from the General Commercial Zone. This would cover small local commercial areas and parts of the periphery of the main commercial area. Larger parking lots to serve the main shopping area should be confined to the Highway Commercial Zone. (To be continued) NOTICE R. S.

The drop in egg prices reflects the recent sudden upsurge in production from Canadian poultry farms.

A. Give your face a good steaming, or make a mask of hot water on cotton with a little soap. Leave this on 15 minutes. Then squeeze the blackheads gently. If they don't come out easily, don't insist. Moisten again and try once more. Twice a week, treat yourself to a facial mask. Q. What is a good, softening treatment for the lips during cold weather? A. Try winterizing your lipstick the way the models do. With your lip brush, mix some . petroleum jelly and lipstick, and apply this as usual. The jelly adds a pretty, dewy shine, eliminating the need for a lip gloss, as well as providing an extra protection for your lips during the cold months. Q. How can the distance between one's eyes be seemingly increased or decreased through the magic of makeup? A. If the eyes are too close together, blend a light shade of eye shadow from the center of the lids to the outer corners. If the eyes are too far apart, apply shadow at the corners of the lids nearest the nose. Q. Can you suggest a quick and simple facial to combat brow wrinkles? A. The simplest and most convenient I can think of is achieved by soap. Simply work up an extra-thick lather and leave it on your brow until dry. Then rinse and.apply your favorite moisturizing cream, using an upward massaging motion. ' Q. My hands perspire excessively on special occasions. What can I do about this? A. Try applying a little anti- perspirant to your hands, or if you prefer, a touch of cologne of toilet water, just before you go out. Etiquette (By ROBERTA LEE) Q. When a bride is writing her thank-you notes for wedding gifts received, does she write also to the bridegroom's parents and to her brothers and sisters for the gifts they gave? ; A. If she has already given them her sincere verbal thanks, it is not absolutely necessary to write to them. On the other hand though, there never is anything wrong with a personally- written note of thanks \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd always an indication of good-breeding. Q. Would it be all right for me to have my wedding invitations engraved in gold ink? A. For wedding invitations, only black ink should be used. Silver or gold ink are frequently used for 25th and 50th anniversary invitations, if one wishes. Q. What is the proper way to eat raw apples or pears at the table? A. You should operate on these with your knife before eating them. The fruit should be quartered, peeled, cored, and then each quarter eaten with the fingers. Q. I've heard that there are eight \"primary observances\" in the way of wedding anniversaries. What might these be? A. One year, paper; five years, wood; ten years, tin; 15 years, crystal; 20 years china; 25 years silver; 50 years, gold; 75 years, diamond. Q. Should a hostess keep on eating as long as her guests do? A. Yes. A thoughtful and tact ful hostess will notice which of her guests are a little slow with their food and she will manage to pace her own eating with her slowest guest.

Editor: All residents living nearby will be interested in knowing we have a real hunter in the area, a dog hunter! Our German shepherd came home Saturday morning, Jan. 28 with a bullet in his upper jaw. A person like this has to be sick. Even if the dog was being a pest, there aren't but two or three in this vicinity,, so the person could have made some effort to get in touch with us, and we would have kept him tied. This seems cruel enough punishment for a big dog, but not as cruel and sadistic as a bullet. Had the bullet entered his head one quarter' inch higher the poor animal would have died in prolonged agony and probably would never have been found. I just can't find the words to describe the feelings of contempt for this person who is so obviously sick and without a grain of human decency. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdMrs'. Ken Fiedler, North Rd.

Instead of 500 buildings costing $5,000 these people would be obliged to build at least $10,- 000 buildings. So Victoria could pick up an extra $50,000 in five percent tax on materials and their assessors could go to work on $2H million more of real estate. It looks like this pensioner paradise of ours is about to come to a sudden and sorry end. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdA. R. Simpkins.

Editor: One oil truck on one eight hour shift in Vancouver collects one million dollars a year gasoline road tax for Victoria.

Levy, Business Manager, Beautiful British Columbia Magazine. Dateline Victoria John Mika, Victoria Times legislative reporter wrote the following concerning the appointment of members to legislative committees: Mrs. Isabel Dawson emerged as the first among equals in the government's battery of three women ministers-without-portfo- lio. The list of memberships in legislative committees struck by the house shows the Mackenzie riding representative sitting on four committees. They are municipal affairs, forestry and fishing, labor and social welfare and education. All but labor are high-ranking committees. Her membership on social welfare and education indicates she may have been the one Premier Bennett really had in mind when he first announced expansively that all the women ministers would play vital roles in the government's program of services to people. Her busy schedule contrasts with that of her colleagues. Mrs. Grace McCarthy has been seated on the private bills and municipal affairs committees. However these both will be very active this year. But Mrs. Pat Jordan, who was much-praised by Premier Bennett during the election as the former Vernon beauty queen, has been relegated to the public accounts and labor committees. Public accounts meets only once or twice in a session on purely routine matters and the labor committee has not met at all for years. Among other conveners selected this year, Ernie Lecours of Richmond, the government's severest critic in its own backbenches, will be watched closely to see if he will kick over the applecart as chairman of the labor committee which has been kept moribund for years. Mr. Lecours said he would like to see the labor committee meet for discussions for a change, particularly on the question of ex parte injunctions which he feels has been misrepresented by union spokesmen \"But it's all in the hands of the house,\" he said. \"They've got to refer something to us first.\" That was the ruling last year after NDP members of committee created an uproar because the Socreds wouldn't convene the agriculture or labor committees to study problems they were interested in.

Add51,565 Th number of telephones in service in the B.C. Telephone Company's system grew by a record 51,565 during 1966. At the same time, the company's capital expenditures reached an all time high of $60,681,708. The number of B.C. Telephone employees stood at 7,243 at the end of 1966, up by 906 from December 31, 1965 and the highest figure in the company's history. The previous high was 7,130 in 1957, before many of the company's offices were converted to dial service. By 1966 year end, 98.7 per cent of the telephones in the company's system were on dial service. The number of telephones in the company's system totalled 761,129, up 7.3 percent from a year earlier. The gain in 196S was 47,856 telephones or 7.2 percent. The average number of daily local calls made through the company's system during 1966 totalled 4.9 million, up from 4.5 million in 1965, the previous record year. Average daily toll calls totalled more than 97,500, up from 87,400 in 1965 and this increase was achieved even though the number of long distance calls in several regions was reduced by the introduction of expanded flat-rate calling areas. The Greater Vancouver flat- rate calling area was enlarged in October with introduction of cross-core calling which removed tolls, from calls between North and West Vancouver and the Port Moody, New Westminster and Richmond telephone offices. Dividend up Mr. Ronald C. Brown, branch manager of the Great-West Life assurance Company's Vancouver Pacific branch, announces that his company has approved an increase in its dividend scale for participating policyholders effective Jan. 1. The rate of interest on dividend accumulations has been advanced from 5.25 to 5.35 percent. Mr. Brown said that the increase marks the ninth time in the past 11 years that his company has increased dividends for Canadian policyholders. He also said that the new dividend scale reflects the continuing improvement in earnings on company investments.

Miss Cripps attended Sir George Williams School of.Art in Quebec for three years and is presently working in Vancouver attending art classes.

Anyone with clothing in good repair, and clean, books, china or you name it might consider making a welcome donation to the shop.

Training is hard but you certainly grow up quick. Things aren't handed to you on a silver platter. But isn't that life? I suggest that when the girls feel really blue a bunch of them should go to a show or out for a pop just to get out of residence for a while. They'll feel much better afterwards. Stick it out, Nursie. Knowing how to be a good nurse will help you all your life, whether you stay at nursing or decide to get married and raise a family. One Who Knows DEAR ONE \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd How true! Sometimes married couples get so disgusted they would like to give up. But they put their chins up and keep going. After the rough time is past they are glad they stuck it out. Same with nursing \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd or anything tough and worth while. DEAR DORIS \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd My husband's parents are quite wealthy and have been helping us in many ways, while I've felt that if we had tried, we could have lived on my salary while my husband completed graduate studies. Always strings are attached to this help. My husband feels his parents would feel rejected and hurt if he refused to accept the money, even though he is now working. My suggestion is \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd if so \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd put the money in our 17-month-old son's bank account \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd while we pay and decide ourselves (about a car, a new suit, etc.) Am I drawing the line too fine? Breaking Apron Strings DEAR BREAKING \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Not for my money \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd or theirs. You two need to stand on your own four feet. But be gentle. Generous, wealthy in-laws are hard to come by. They are human people and have a habit of being needed. And Hubby has habits of getting helped. Once he gets the idea, he'll be the one who is proud of being able to function as a grown-up independent . unit with you. It may take years. DEAR DORIS \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd My future husband will be working nights, five nights a week. I have never spent a night alone in an empty house and I am afraid. I realize this is silly but my whole family have been like this since my father died two years ago. The hard part is that quite often I have nightmares in regard to-death and I wake up, shaken up, and being all alone in the dark would not help matters. My husband may not be able to get a day shift for years, so I have to fight this problem. I do not want to start bringing over my sisters to spend the night with me, as this would complicate things for everyone. Afraid At Night DEAR AFRAID \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd It's not silly. Many married women with babies find themselves alone at night once in a while and don't like it. A convenient sister might visit occasionally, but five nights a week? For one thing, that nightmare business needs solving; which may mean bringing into the open your submerged and terrifying experiences with death. A session with a psychiatrist \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd even one session \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd might be all you'd need. Then a talk with the police; the establishment of neighborly relations with the people next door; a telephone you can ring in an emergency; these will all help you to sleep in peace. Don't, for heaven's sake, leave yourself so vulnerable that you pass on your fear of the dark and aloneness to your own small fry, when they get there.

St. Mary's Hospital Auxiliaries Co-ordinating council held its first meeting of the year Jan. 31 at the hospital. The new director of nursing, Mrs. Mary Gordon, outlined a list of equipment that the hospital needs at the present time. Sechelt Auxiliary reported their annual smorgasbord last fall had been an outstanding success; Pender Harbour reported similar success with their fall bazaar and Roberts Creek reported similar results from the Christmas coffee party. Mrs. Willis reported from Port Mellon that the initial opening of the Thrift Shop had far exceeded expectations.

Seek action Memberships are wanted now by the Sunshine Coast Tourist association if members want to be included in the association's brochure. There have been two extensions in time for members to get their entries in and it looks as though another might be necessary. Response from the Gibsons end has been poor and a little better from Sechelt. Pender Harbor support has become divided with motel and resort units turning out their own literature to attract tourists. Powell River response is reported as excellent. Skits coming At the initial meeting on Feb. 6, an enthusiastic group of Tidewater Players, including five new members, mapped out plans for a few variety skits. These skits will be included in the Kinsmen's Talent show in April to help round out the program. Next Sunday will be a busy one as rehearsals in the form of a workshop will start, pre- ceeded by a meeting and election of officers. Dues for the coming year of 25c will also be payable.. Those who could not make it last Sunday are urged to be out at Roberts Creek Hall, 8 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 12. On Feb. 2, representatives of Local 297, International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite & Paper Mill Workers and Management of Canadian Forest Products Ltd., Howe Sound Pulp Division, gathered at a ceremony to raise on the flag pole the pennant awarded by the Pulp & Paper Bureau for their winning performance over competing mills in the province Guides to split event The monthly meeting of the Sechelt Girl Guide Association was held at the home of Mrs. G. Potts with 13 members present, and decided to hold a Mother and Brownie evening, Feb. 16 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Sechelt Legion Hall. Mothers of Brownies will be contacted, and each child will bring home a note with details. The same type of evening will be held for Guides on Feb. 27 from 6 to 9 p.m. at St. Hilda's Hall. This will be a dinner and evening of fun and games. Brownies and Guides have increased in number so much in the area it was necessary for the association to do away with the annual mother and daughter banquet and split it up into two separate groups. In commemoration of the Lord Baden Powell Thinking Day, a church parade will be held Feb. 19 and here again a note will be sent home with each child giving details. Coffee party A coffee party and bake sale at which young children will be taken care of while mothers enjoy themselves, will take place on Feb. 14 from 10:30 a.m. until noon in Gibsons United Church hall. Members of the Evening unit of United Church Women cordially invites all who would like to attend. There will be aduit supervision of young children and refreshments will be served to them as well.

Tom Kennedy, Local 297, and Fred Sanders, H.S.P., co-chairmen of the 1966 divisional advisory safety committee, raised the pennant in the presence of committee members. The Safety Pennant Award is forwarded to the winning mill for each quarter by the Pulp & Paper. Bureau representing all the pulp and paper mills in the province. The employee group at Port Mellon have been strong competitors in the pulp and paper industry throughout the year, ending the year 1966 with second lowest frequency of 4.12 among 14 competing mills in British Columbia. In order to curb and eliminate industrial accidents which would result in lost time earnings, both union and management have co-operatively developed continuing accident prevention programs with strong emphasis on education in job content procedures.
