Pre sent plans call for the expected 430 plus pupils in grades 8, 11 and 12 to start at 8 a.m. and the more than 300 grades 9 and 10 pupils to end their shift at 5 p.m. This will almost double transportation costs and result in additional teachers being required! The result Of the inclusion of 48 pupils from the Reserve school-will also mean re-opening Halfmoon Bay. school to relieve pressure in Sechelt Elementary school where overcrowding would result unless redistribution was arranged. As matters now stand 27 grade one pupils will move from Sechelt school to the re-opened Halfmoon Bay school, requiring an additional teacher. At the suggestion of Trustee William Malcolm this may be changed to higher grade pupils. Pupils leaving the Sechelt school will be replaced by. 19 from the reserve school. . The remaining 29 reserve school pupils will attend Davis Bay school which will take seven and Roberts Creek school which will take 22. Increased accommodation at Roberts Creek school will be a portable classroom from Sechelt.

School trustees after hearing Eugene Yablonski outline a teachers federation and department of education plan to institute a study, of culturally deprived children decided to invite those involved in the study to work in this area. The proposal came through the Sechelt Teachers' Association, repre sented by Mr. Yablonski. District Superintendent R. R. Hanna reporting for Frank Fuller, adult education director, said that adult education classes were now paying their way and not dependent on a budget subsidy. The bad January weather had an adverse effect on attendance but now things are much brighter, Mr. Hanna said. On pulblic relations a notice of motion was presented by Trustee Mrs. L. Labonte, asking that copies of regular board meetings' be distributed to principals, supervisor of elementary instruction, adult education director, district librarian, build- i ng and grounds superintendent and the press. Special meetings called for specific purposes and meetings of the committee of the whole are not regular meetings. Teacher resignations were accepted from Mrs. Muriel A. W.

Isabel Dawsori, minister without portfolio, has announced that a provincial government grant of $5,500 has been approved to assist the Children-to-Chil- dren Foundation of the Cultural Exchange program with the expenses involved in bringing the Brno Children's Choir from Czechoslovakia to British Columbia for about 15 days in July. The grant is conditional on the choir coming to British Columbia, and on the Children-to-Chil- dren Foundation raising the remainder of the total estimated expenses of $11,300. Mrs. Dawson expressed great pleasure with the grant made by the provincial government, pleasure that was shared by Mr. Hubert Klyne Headley of Gibsons, president of the Chil- dren-to-Children Foundation of the cultural Exchange program. The public heard recordings of this world famous choir, di rected by Professor Doctor Frantisek Lysek, on Tuesday, at 10:03 a.m. on CBU, radio. Many school students listened to this. performance, as well as professional groups at colleges and universities. It was the first time the choir has been heard in Canada. Featured in their program- of liturgical and secular music will be Peace, a triptych for trebel choir and orchestra. Mr. Head- ley was commissioned to write the music for this work, and the poems for parts 1 and 3 were written by his daughter, Claudia \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Headley, at age 13. The poem for Part 2 was written by another youngster, Elizabeth Mackay, daughter of Morton Mac_- kay of Gibsons. In this way, the work is representative of the cultural exchange program \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Canadian children wrote the words, and Czechoslovakian children sing them. Elementary choir to sing i Thursday evening March 20 in Gibsons Elementary Gym the school choir will be in full voice for the school's annual spring concert. Choir members have been rehearsing regularly since Christmas under the able direction of Mrs. M. Neilson and in the final rehearsals with the assistance of Mrs. M. Evans of Selma Park as accompanist. Pupils of the school have been working all school year in the band under the direction of Frank Postlethwaite will be heard in several selections. The band has been doing extra rehearsing with Mr. D., McKee at noon hours to polish up their repertoire. Pupils from Grades 5 & 6. will present a comedy entitled A Matter of Conscience depicting the scrapes a 12-year-old boy gets into when he contrives to get rid of his conscience for a day. There have been some mysterious rehearsals by pupils in Mr. McKee's class and their play remains a special secret until curtain time. The public is invited to enjoy the school's offering. 2 Coast News, March 19, 1969. IWf St; Pierre's Indiana mythical figiirie Serving the Mt.

The three opposed argue that a great deal of public work has been done on the grounds with the strong support of the Kiwanis club of Gibsons. They do not want to see this work go down the drain. The proponents are taking the attitude .there'.might.ibe some good in the government proposal to provide other park land in the same area. The present acreage on Park road runs parallel to the road between the highway and Reid road. The government proposes to supply land parallel with the highway from Park road towards Elphinstone school athletic field. It is understood that.provincial authorities also plan to be responsible for replacing the present cleared sports area with one on the proposed park site and while this is under construction, leave the present sports field in use. Brothers Memorial Park was a gift about ten years ago from the Jackson family of Wilson Creek in memory of the Jackson brothers who were prominent personages in their time. Trustees were appointed to look after the park. They met recently and by ma- pority vote decided' against cutting up the park for a highway. As far as the Coast News can discover, when Gibsons council takes over the area of expansion extending as far as Park road, thereby obtaining control, over the park, the present board of trustees may cease to exist. Further, according to amendments to the Municipal Act now before the legislature under the name of the Hon. Dan Campbell1, minister of municipal affairs, a new section will be added to the Municipal act which could give the municipal council the right, by bylaw approved by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, to dispose of any portion of such land under its1 control iri enchange for other lands suitable for a park or public square. However, it is not as simple as passing a bylaw. Council must give notice of its intention by publication of such notice in the press. There will most likely be means of protest accompanying such notice. However the final result will likely rest in the public domain. Which will win the right-of-way, the highway or the park? Pros -, and cons will no doubt be argued. A welcome interlude! In times of international troubles it is a change to note that something of an international cultural nature at the child level is going to take place. The Brno Children's choir from Czechoslovakia is coming to British Columbia and plans a three day stay in Gibsons area as well' as make a tour in the province, Powell River, Victoria and Vancouver included. This comes as the result of the work of H. Klyne Headley, former music supervisor of this school district, when he was in Czechoslovakia last year, j The provincial government has made a grant of $5,500 towards expenses amounting to.$11,300 and Mr. Headley,, president of the Children-to-Children Foundation of the Cultural Exchange program anticipates raising the remainder. At the time Mr. Headley journeyed to Czechoslovakia last summer he had the blessing of the department of external affairs in Ottawa and his trip has blossomed into an international cultural venture of considerable importance. With a good many Czecho Slovaks now new citizens of Canada, it will be cementing a strong tie at the cultural level which could do both peoples a great deal of good. These new Canadians will look forward to a touch of the homeland. It should not be overlooked that the idea had a good part of its origins in Giibsons. Coast News 5-10-20 YEARS AGO FIVE YEARS AGO Heavy oil seepage from a sunken barge in Collingwood channel has created havoc among the seabird population along the coast. CBC TV cameras photographed high school pupils striving to save some of the birds. Alfred August was the choice of the Sechelt Indian band as chief to succeed Chief Charles Craigan who died recently. Mrs. A. M. Mortimer, Navy \"mother\" died in St. Paul's hospital. She was a resident of Roberts Creek. Her life work had been among navy personnel. TEN YEARS AGO The provincial government announced it would accept 40 percent of this year's school budget instead of 45 percent which it assumed last year. Pender Harbor telephones were turned on to the automatic dialing system. There were 245 phones in the district. Roberts Creek, Port Mellon, Sechelt and Gibsons Scouts and Cubs have started operations for a busy summer. Dal Triggs asked the board of trade to seek a change in color for the blinker light in Gibsons Harbor. He urged an orange light instead of green light, hard to see in a green background. 20 YEARS AGO Pender Harbor has decided to form its own board of trade. This was revealed at a meeting of Sechelt Peninsula Board of Trade at Halfmoon Bay. At a VON meeting in Gibsons it was debated whether VON activities should be paid for under the Hospital tax. Sixty members of three Teen Town organizations in the area, attended a dance at Roberts Creek. Three men with guns, a man with two dogs, and a food-stocked trap failed to catch a Wilson Creek cougar. The cougar made off with the food in the trap. On Thurs., March 6 Paul St. Pierre, MP for Coast-Chilcotin spoke on Indian Affairs in the house of commons when Frank Howard, Sfeeeria prepentfcd a motion which maintained that native people were being denied fundamental rights. Here is What he said: Occasionly, during the course of this debate I have heard mention of this figure called the Indian as though every Indian in Canada were somehow merged into a single recognizable entity. This mythical figure we call the Indian expresses ithe unanimous collective 'thoughts of all the Indians in Canada. This is a false premise and as along as we persist in it in our handling of the important matters of Indian administration, administration by Indians themselves or by the Indian department, we cannot be right. There is no such man as the Indian in Canada. Indians are people of immense variety, and there is no reason why they should not disagree. It is true that, for instance, in most of the provinces of Canada there is a single Indian organization. Speaking in terms of fairly large organizations, there are at least four different Indian organizations in British Columbia Which have slightly different views on what the course of their people should be. * * * Occasionally these organizations are viewed somewhat critically by the white community. They say: \"Why don't you people combine? Why can't you speak for British Columbian Indians with a single voice? Some of the people who ask this question sit in this house where there happen to be four political, parties, not one of which is in total agreement with any other party. If it is right for us, then it is also right for the Indian, and this leads us a little further. It leads to the question of .consultation with.; the Indians. f , M Let us, and let the minister, recognize the fact that we cannot consult with the Indians of Canada and get one, single, . cohesive answer as to what they want. In fact, it is amost an insult to suggest that we can go to the Indians from one side of this nation to the other asking: \"Tell us what you want\" and assuming that they are- all going to tell us the same thing, therefore, it is merely a matter of meeting their requests in greater or. lesser degree. This is not to happen. -?' sfc * There are great variations even within a single area in my own riding of Coast-Chilcotin. I made a rough calculation a short time ago and I found that there were over 30 reserves in my. riding. Many of the people cannot converse with one another except through the. medium of the English language because their own languages are of such a vastly different nature. In the course of the consultation meetings, how; many points of view have been put ;. forward on how the Indians \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd feel as to their role as citizens \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd of Canada, citizens of the pro- <\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd vince, citizens of North Ameri- ; ca and citizens of what might be called a pan-Indian society? In each case there are at least fourvdistinct views held by the Indians. I should like to quote one from a publication called the \"Indian Magazine\" which I am sure many hon. members who are interested in this subject receive. Let us see what Chief Max Gros-Louis of Huron Village near Quebec city had to say: I can't see the Indians belonging to the provinces, because there's going to be another separation among Indians. We are already separated by the United States. Now if we start separating by provinces, that's going to be the end of the Indian. That is one man's view. The consultative group has heard from Indians who positively want to be citizens of the province in which they reside. They feel that this is of prime importance to them. They feelv that in many provinces of Canada they are being deprived, in greater or lesser degree, of basic rights as provincial citizens. There is a third view among Indians which is that the international border is an artificial line; that if is one which should not apply to them and that the Indian society is not of the nation of Canada nor of the nation of the United States but is a loosely connected society of a single group based on a single culture whose home is North America. There is yet a fourth view held that within Canada the Indian people are not Canadians but are allies of the British Crown; that they are a nation separate within Canada and that their true connection is to the Royal House of Britain. .' \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd * ';'*''.'*.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd I am not going to suggest which of these views predominates amongst Indians. I have some ideas, but I do not know whether it is up to me to suggest them at this time. However, I would point out that every one of these views has some legitimacy and every one of them has some followers in Canada. Therefore, whenever I hear that any man, particularly a white man but also an Indian, claims that he knows what all the Indian people of Canada really want, my faith in his knowledge and judgment is diminished. 1 bring this point forward.in connection with the delays in bringing forth the new Indian act and the legislation for an Indian claims commission. There is one difference between the present administration of the Indian department and those which preceded it. I think it is that we are attempting consultation with the Indian. As the hon. member for Skeena said, we have always claimed we were consulting them, but did we really do it? I can quote a good friend of mine in this regard, Chief Dan George of the Burrard No. 3 reserve. I recall him saying once: \"Oh yes, the white man is always coming around and, he says to us 'what do you want' but he never waits for us to answer.\" I hope that perhaps one time we will 'wait for the Indian to answer, and we will receive a multitude of replies. Those replies are'going1.to coihe slowly but surely if we are committed to asking questions and waiting for answers. Then, we cannot arbitrarily say: \"Sorry, you are too long in giving your answer. We do not have the time to wait. Here is the new Indian act, take it or leave it.\" Such a course would be a denial of the fundamental principle, as I understand the minister's remarks, underlying the policy that this department wishes to follow.; There are 7a:'; great many fea- (Continued on Page 3) \ufffd\ufffd^^*^^*\ufffd\ufffd**^*^\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd**\ufffd\ufffd^^-\ufffd\ufffd N.

Boils usually are a local infection started by the bacteria found on the skin. The staphylococcus or \"staph\" germ is considered the culprit. The germs work their way into or through the skin. They form a colony and multiply rapidly. The bloodstream rushes white corpuscles to .the spot to kill the invading germs: A boil must be kept covered, for if these germs leak out, more boils may form on your skin.or the skin of someone who touches you. A physician usually can. relieve a boil by prescribing an antibiotic treatment. Your doctor can phone us when you need a medicine.

St. Pierre's Indian (Continued from Page 2)'Y tures in it, arid I must pass over most of them. It would be ludicrous for me to attempt to review the situation of the Indian in Canada, either historically or at present. I would not pretend to criticize the record of Canadian white governments in their handling of Indian affairs but at the same time, though speaking from less experience because the period of my close association as a member of parliament has been briefer, I would not attempt tp defend all the actions of the present Indian affairs branch. Like the hon. member for Skeena I have the feeling that it is shot \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthrough with a very strong degree- of paternalism, and this cannot be good; it must go. I certainly agree that the earlier the Indian affairs branch can bring about conditions in which it is ho longer required, the better it will be for the Indians. The story of a young Indian nun who teaches at a residential school for Indian children, in the Yukon, Sister Balonika stars Vi Powlan^n-the-title'.role. The 90-miriute^film-^drama,^shot on Canada's west coast, will be telecast on CBC-TV's Festival series, Wednesday, March 26. In this scene from the film, Miss Powlan as Sister Balonika is seen with one of her young pupils, plsiyed by Donna Dick. I too, would like \/ to see the Indian Act abolished but we must realize that we have certain obligations to the Indians of this country by treaty. Some of these treaties we have bent, and others we have broken. Then, as hon. members are aware, there are Indians in British Columbia with whoni we have never signed treaties of any kind. - Nevertheless, since we have signed treaties and assumed responsibilities to these people, how are these responsibilities to be discharged except through an Indian Act \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd call it by another name, if you wish. I think the Indian people must themselves surrender these special rights voluntarily. We have no right unilaterally to push aside these agreements and wipe this legislation off the books. It seems to me that whether . we call it an Indian Act or something else, we must keep legislation respecting the special rights of the* Indian people onv the law books of this country until and unless they themselves choose to ask that it be removed. There is one other point I should like to raiseV and I feel it involves a moral responsibility on the part of the white majority in this country. There are many Indian's who wish to leave the reserves, move into white society and integrate completely, losing their Indian identity. This should be their right. Since in most cases they are disadvantaged people, I believe we have a duty to give them special help in this re^ gard. But what of the Indians who wish to remain Indians, who wish to live on their reserves and lead the traditional lives of their people? Is this not also their right? Do they not haye the right, if tihey choose, to continue to exist as a separate, non - integrated group in Canadian society? _ >je * * It seems to me that both by treaty and in terms of ordinary justice the Indians who choose to remain Indians have '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd the right to do so. Does this neces-j sarily place them in the position of being second class citizens? I believe that throughout most of our history this has been the effect. By choos- iing to live on the reserves, by choosing to retain the old ways, they have tended to become second class citizens. Surely, the Canadian nation can find some way to guaranteeing that these people can live different lives without obliging them to be poor for the most part, as they are, or poorly educated, or discriminated against in any real way because they are Indians. Surely, out of our present examination of the Indian Act the most important thing we can bring forward is a recognition on the part of the government, on the part of civil servants and on the part of the ordinary people of Canada that when we meet an Indian we are meeting a person, one individual. And there is every bit as niuoh variety among people of Indian ancestry as there is among peope of any other race. \" ';* * * Before I close, I should like to comment on one point made by the hon. member for Skeena. I should like to give my fullest support to his plea for the early setting up of an Indian claims commission. Let us not fool ourselves. The government of this country has neglected :to sign treaties such as the Jay Treaty and Treaties 8 and 11 in the north. We have made .treaties and broken them. We have failed to make treaties in British Columbia west of the rockies. and in other parts of the north with the Eskimos'. This record of doubtful faith, and in some cases of bad and broken faith, is a festering sore in this country. Let us not delay any longer than is necessary before forming an Indian claims commission to review these old disagreements, to patch up old difference and to start us in the 1970s with some of the old hatred and bitterness wiped away. I thank the house for its attention. SHARE YOUR GOOD HEALTH BE A BLOOD DONOR ((By a Practicing Lawyer) Many questions have been asked' concerning the granting of bail in a criminal case. Every person charged with a criminal offence is presumed innocent till the contrary is proved. This, being one of the bed rock principles of our criminal law, ithe question might well be asked, \"why then should an accused be held in jail pending his trial?\" Against this, is the very practical necessity of ensuring that an accused will be present when the trial date arrives. These opposing principles are resolved by a recognizance or recognizance of bail. This is an obligation or promise to appear for the trial and follows logically from the legal presumption of innocence. In countries where there is a presumption of guilt and an accused is required to prove himself innocent, for example, France, recognizance of bail is very rare. When will an accused be released without bail or on his own recognizance? When will a cash bail be set? \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd And in what amount? When will sureties be required \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd and how many? The answers to these questions depend on a number of factors. Firstly the accused's record must be considered. If Copyright applied foi it is long and serious, and especially if it includes a previous conviction of jumping bail, bail may be refused or set at a high figure. If the accused has at the time been released on bail on another charge, this will be a reason for a refusal of bail. The seriousness of the alleged offence is important \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd the more serious the charge the less likelihood of bail being set or the more likelihood of it being set at a high figure. The most important factor is the degree of the accused's roots in the community \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd has he a job, a home, a family, does he own real property? If the answer to these questions is yes, he is likely to appear for trial. In serious cases, for example, charges of trafficking in narcotics one or more sureties may be required, that is one or more other persons may be required to post a cash or real property bond. If the accused fails to appear at the itrial date \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd estreatment of bail proceedr ing.s are commenced. The sureties may appear and offer some explanation why the bail should not be forfeit to the crown. All or any portion of the bail may be ordered forfeited. Nursing group planned A luncheon meeting to introduce Mrs. B. D. L. Johnson, regional vice-president for the mainland coast of the Red Cross, was held March 11 at the home of Mrs. William Y. Higgs, Gower Point Road. Ways and means were dis: cussed for the holding a fund- raising drive for the Red Cross. Mrs. Johnson mentioned that assistance to burned-out fami- .lies, supplying blood plasma and. water safety classes held at Gibsons and Sechelt are some of the benefits the area has received from the iRed Cross. Instructors for swimming and water safety cost the Red Cross approximately 85c per student, she said. From discussions at the meeting it was evident there is considerable interest in forming a borne nursing group. Mrs. Johnson reported the possibility of providing Red Cross training in. this field will be investigated and reported on at the next meeting: A follow-up meeting will be held in the Red Cross headquarters at Roberts Creek at 2 p.m., Wed., March 26. At this time it is hoped that a committee will be formed to carry, out a campaign forfunds. Present at the meeting were Miss E. Harrold, Mesdames N. Ewart, P. Finlayson, J. Blake, L. Labonte, C. Bulger, C. Warn, J. Macey and E. Sherman. move into a Westwood home this spring Rents are soaring. Apartments are becoming a luxury.

The beginning in elementary school of a change over from the old curriculum-eentiered lock-step grades dn which a certain amount of knowledge was ito be acquired in a certain time, to a system of individual development, in which a pupil progresses at hjis own rate. Abolition of letter-grade report ' cards in elementary schools, replaced by parent- teacher conferences and individual comments on each child. Introduction of open-area classrooms. Hiring of a highly specialized supervisory staff to help teachers. Introduction of the Initial Training alphabet to (teach reading. Deployment of elementary school staffs to take advantage of special qualifications such as music and art. Hiring of professional help at the elementary level for the emotionally disturbed child. Eight other items were of lesser significance but showed what progress was going on such as formation of a band, education meetings and the issuing of bulletins to the public. Having made this impressive progress over the last few years, the report continues, we seem to have come to a standstill on the road to better education at this time. There is a growing concern among many people that the board is about to abandon its responsibility to education by listening to counsel of unquestioning submission to Victoria. We do not believe that the school board is the local agency of the legislature'-' but represents the municipalities and rural areas of the district. We are concerned that the board's inability to explain the financial situation to parents and taxpayers will jeopardize the progress already made. We are confused by the fre\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd;; quent references to the number of teachers over entitlement and pupil-teacher ratios as laid down by the department of education. We think a much better understanding of board problems by the general public could be achieved by a full and careful explanation of what is meant by these terms. We do not believe we can afford to economize by increasing the number of students per teacher. A study should be authorized by the board immediately and strong recommendation to Victoria for the recognition of the need for a number of small classes for disadvantaged children.

We are concerned that some of the budget cuts will be detrimental to the proper upkeep of our capital assets, buildings and equipment in which millions of dollars of taxpayers' money is invested. It should be possible for the board to give a straightforward assessment of our financial plight, how many instructional units we have and how many are recognized by the department. We are perturbed by the secretary's announcement' of alleged over-expenditures in past years which have to be repaid to the government. Various school districts have benefitted from the 21 million dollar supplementary estimates for the department of education. Our board has not told us whether they too have requested additional funds for the current budget.

The prominence of this statement plus your objective and unemotional editorial are to be commended. I admire Mrs. Glassford's statement. The above are in sharp contrast to the emotional front page editorializing done in Sechelt. I hope on the basis of these statements the citizens of the Sunshine Coast will back their fellow citizens of the Sechelt Indian band in not letting this matter drop till satisfactory answers have been obtained. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd John Daly, Garden Bay 'Editor: I was quite amused with the third editorial on the second page of your last issue. It reminded me of the remark, on what food doth this our Caesar feed that he has grown so great. I wonder how long the writer has known the Mounted Police, I first knew them in 1907 when they were known as the North West Mounted Police, I was living in Lethbridge. I have seen first hand the work of the police in Quebec, Ontario Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia. I have done aibout 11 years police work myself, first up in Northern Ontario when in charge of the largest ^sulphite mill in Canada at that time for the receiver and then as a justice of the Peace and finally as a Stipendiary Magistrate. The latter two are peace officers and if any trouble breaks out and no police are present to deal with it it is the duty of the Justice of the Peace or magistrate to do the police work. _j^say without any hesitation that this experience over 60 years has shown me that I would far rather deal with the Indian than the so - called' white men. I never had any trouble with the Indians around Minstrel Island and there were three reserves within five miles of there Add to that the fact that the ho- CROSSWQRD + + + By A. C.

I have counted 85 boats moored in the harbor and at that time the total payroll from the adjacent camps was'well over a million a month, I compiled^ \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd' the total after calling on every camp. So I am stating undisput- able facts. In fact when I wantY ed help it was the Indians that I called on. The best example is the day the Indians were first admitted to the beer parlors. There was a great roaramong|he RCMP when it was announced that they were going to be admittedY they (the ROVliP) were going to turn iri their uniforms, they did not want to be police under; those conditions. As there were no police sta-t' tioned at Minstrel Island it was my duty to check up the Ibeer, parlor the first day the Indians were admitted. I went to the hotel about three in the afternoon arid when I opened the front door I heard an awful racket in the beer parlor. On going in I found three lots of so-called white men fighting toot not one solitary Indian, they7 were all seated at their tables drinking sensibly. Some of the white men appeared before me and were fined for their part in the fights. This is rather a different story and is founded on first hand facts. The RCMP have been going down hill since the lf30s when James Macbrien quit as Commissioner is a well known fact. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdB. L. Cope. Blake C. Alderson, D.C.

Stuart was unable to keep his lecture appointment, but hope to hear him at another date. President Mrs. S. Rowland, and Secretary Mrs. M. Tibb reported on the Thrift Shop purchase of a flame photometer and blood gases machine, important laboratory equipment! needed by the hospital. Volunteer workers whose day at the hospital is the 4th Monday will in future aid in the physiotherapy department.' Several inquiries have been received as to the auxiliary's catering service and plans were discussed for jobs on the agenda. Interested persons are invited to visit the Roberts Creek Red Cross cottage on March 26 when Mrs. B. D. L. Johnson, Regional vice-president for the coastal area will be present. As well as meeting with the local group, Mrs. Johnson hopes to encourage women of Gibsons to form a working unit there since there- is interest shown in this respect\/ The local work- ers.will exhibit-samples of their work and supply information where needed. They hope to welcome, besides Gibsons guests, new local members for their own group. Roberts Creek Red Cross has been in operation for 30 years. Visitors at the Leask home on Beach Ave were Mrs. Leask's daughter, Mrs. Angie Duncan, and Mrs. Rosemary Barnaston. They, enjoyed the good weather and spent much time on the beach. Mrs. Martha Weal is a patient in St. Mary's Hospital, in London, England. To visit her son, Don, she left Vancouver one afternoon recently, stopped briely at San Francisco and New York, and arrived in London at midnight, their time. After a few days of sight-seeing with her son, she found herself in the hospital, where, according to word received by her daughter, Mrs. Arnold Blomgren, she seems to be enjoying the coziness of the hospital and the care and humor of a staff consisting mainly of Irish girls. At the time of writing she had no idea as to how long she might be detained there nor how long she might stay in Eng land, but possibly it will be late summer before she returns. This is the first long trip for one of the district's pioneers who came to Sechelt as a tiny child, later moving to Gibsons, where she received much of her schooling. She was living it- Vancouver, at the time of her marriage over 40 years ago and returned to the Sunshine Coast with her husband, Albert Weal, to settle, at Roberts Creek, where she has remained. She has been an active participant in the growth of the district. 22nd Annual Meeting Pender Harbour Credit Union JOLLY ROGER INN Secret Cove Friday, March 28 \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd8 p.m. COMPLEMENTARY DINNER 6:30 Reservations available at Credit Union Office by Wednesday, March 26 Ttltphon.

Jim Schwartz lives in West Sechelt. and comes to the Sunshine Coast by way of Toronto where he grew up, Montreal, Italy, Mexico and three years as a volunteer in the United -States army While in Laguna Beach, California, he worked as a studio helper for the popular painter Paul Blaine Henry.
