J.H. Compton,. Director of Federated Co-operatives Ltd., is presenting a plaque in recognition of sixty years continuous community service to. directors of Gibsons Co-op Fred Holland and Dr. Hugh Inglis. Gibsons Co-op marks Sixtieth Anniversary The United Church hosted a spirited session last Thursday when the Elphinstone Co-op held its 60th Annual Shareholders Meeting. Fred Holland, the director, reported 57 new shareholders in the past year, but profits were down and expenses up, due mostly to the past summer's drop in tourism. ' In the auditor's summary, Mr. O'Neill explained that although sales had only gonei-up;3%;7and lit looked bad'against the cost of giving increase, the price in food had actually gone up 1% so an increase was shown. One of the main items on the agenda was whether to pay a small dividend (1%) to the shareholders or plow it back into the business for renovations. Arguments for paying it were that on looking at statistics the last time the. dividend wasn't paid, the percentage, of member purchases dropped, and even if it was a small amount people did like to feel that they were getting something back. , Those against paying it thought that it was $4,000.00 that could be put to good use in sprucing up the store, and this could bring in more customers, bringing up next year's dividends. On a show of hands 10 wanted to pay it and 17 wanted to put it back into the company. Fred Holland and Eric Ingles were voted back in for another term as directors. On the long standing issue about hardware in the store, it was decided that the present line of light hardware would be ex- 'tended;;777'..--77;;7;-..7:_ . The guest speaker was Mr. J. H. Compton, a director from the Federated Co-operatives Ltd. He agreed with the idea of not paying a dividend this year since it had been a tough one all over B. C. and quite a few Co-ops had not shown a profit. \"This store has been operating for 60 years,\" he said, \"we have to be careful that it does not get taken for granted.\" Having just returned from Cuba recently where everything is state owned, he realized the value of co-operatives in the community market. place, being the middle ground between state and private enterprise. - The door prize, a hamper of food, was won by Mr. Marv Volen. 7; One ofthe main concerns, said \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Mrs. Reagan, of the operators of 'heavy industry was the risk of students being hurt while at their operation. She said that much of this concern .had been alleviated _:by an agreement worked out with the Workmen's Compensation 'Board which made it possible for students involved in the Career Education program to obtain the same coverage in the event of injury as would regular workmen. \"This enables the program to function,\" said Mrs. Reagan, \"under tiie umbrella of legal protection for the student, the family, the employer, and the 7School Board.\" Ed Rumohr of the Department of Manpower, who, incidentally, plays the organ at the home games of Vancouver Canucks but who nonetheless seemed a cheerful individual, said that one of the problems of young people who had no clear idea at all what various types of employment actually entailed. Rumohr said that Career Education had the full support of the Department of Manpower because it was recognized that the conventional school system whatever its strengths or good intentions frequently left even the graduating student woefully unprepared for the world of work. Among the potential employers of this area represented at the meeting were R. Croft of the Department of Fisheries; N. Vicurevitch, Administrator of St. Mary's Hospital; B. Hagedorn of the Super Valu store in Gibsons; Mrs. Pressley represented the Regional District; Norm Mc- Lellan represented the Canadian Paperworkers Union; Jack Richardson was there for the village of Gibsons; Dick Ranniger of B. C. Telephone; J. Yates of the B. C. Ferries; Bob Rutter, Maintenance Department of School District #46, the editors of the Coast News and the Peninsula Times; H. killam of Sechelt Building Supplies; Mrs. A. Knowles of Ann's Beauty Salon; J. R. Frye of the Bank of Montreal in Sechelt. Also in attendance as enthusiastic participants in the discussion which followed the presentation were Clarence and Gilbert Joe representing the Sechelt Indian Band and several teachers from the district. The response of the assembled employers was generally favour-, able to the.concept of the program. Perhaps this feeling was best summed by Nick Vicurevitch, Hospital Administrator, when he said, \"We are all here because we are willing to assist, and basically, because these are our children.\" The navy comes to town A navy training vessel is pictured at Gibsons Wharf on a recent visit. Regional Board at work Pipers from Sechelt Pipe Band join band members in a moving rendition of 'Amazing Grace at the Burns Supper held in Gibsons on January 29th. Regional Board deals with varied agenda The Sunshine Coast Regional Board at. last Thursday evenings board meeting first defeated then passed Mr. Tom Haigh's request for sponsorship of his $44,000 Canada Works recycling grant. Representative Jim Metzler pointed out that under municipal law two absentions on the original vote were to be counted as affirmatives, therefore the motion in support of Mr. Haigh had passed. Haigh pointed out that recycling was on the upswing in this area and his crew had picked up 27 tons ,of recyclable materials in the first three months of this year compared to a 38 ton total for last year. His grant, if passed, will provide employment for five. The Sunshine Coast Regional District's sponsorship is a sponsorship of the principle of recycling and requires no expense for the board. The board voted to reject both bids for weekly garbage pick-ups as one was considered too high and the other too low. The board will re-negotiate with the concerned parties. In other board news, approval was given to a rezoning of a lot in Roberts Creek to permit the construction of a laundromat across from and just below the Roberts Creek school. The board also approved a grant in aid of $300.00 to Dr. Perry in order to dispose of stray dogs in the regional board jurisdictional area. The Sunshine Coast Regional District board Thursday evening voted for a raise in V* mill funding for St. Mary's Hospital, the total not to exceed $57,520. This provisional budget includes $30,000 . basic ($25,000 last year), $5,000 to Pender Harbour clinic, $5,000 for internal costs and $17,520 working capital. In future the hospital board must submit a report by October 1st to allow time for in-depth consideration of monetary needs. The well attended meeting heard delegations from several Booming company interests and reassured them that the necessary changes to the controversial bylaws 5.8; v 6.4.3; and 8.2.3j5 to ensure the future of the booming industry in this area would be made at the mid-February meeting of the planning committee. The plan was adopted subject to these provisions. Bylaw 5.9 proposing a moratorium on logging is to be stricken from the plan. Present at the meeting were: Mr. Burns, Sea- span; Doug Gillett, L & K; Ron Johnson, Rivtow; Cliff Julseth, Rivtow Straits; Mr. Norm Oddy representing J. D. J. Poles and Piling, the logging interest on the island. Also in attendance was Lex Hanson, the chairman of the community plan, and Alspeth Armstrong who spoke in defence of the plan on behalf of the Islands Trust. Members of the Regional Board pictured here are, from left to right, Secretary Anne Pressley and Board members Peter Hoemberg, Ed Johnson, Bernie Mulligan, and Jack Paterson. Navy League recognized At a brief and enjoyable ceremony Wednesday evening, January 26th, the Sunshine Coast branch of the Navy League of Canada was officially recognized when Mr. Tom Wade, national vice-president, presented the charter to Sub-Lt. Tom Richardson of Gibsons. Warrants were presented to the individual corps: Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps - Conway; Navy League Corps - Kenneth Grant; and Navy League Wrennet Corps r Dogwood and their officers by Mr. Bahjan Puri, B. C. Mainland Division; Mr. C. V. Bishop, national chairman; and Commander Morrow who presented a crest of H.M.S. Conway to the Conway Corps. Of special note was the presentation by 93 year old Mrs. Greta Grant of a photograph of her late son Commander Kenneth Grant, formerly director of Naval Cadets for Canada. Commander Grant was killed in a plane accident while still serving in the Royal Canadian Navy. On behalf of Gloria Grant, her son's widow, she presented a painting done by him ofthe Seventh Escort Squadron at sea under his command. For a crew that's been together less than a year, the various corps handled inspection and dress parade in an exceptionally proficient manner, and are to be congratulated for a job well done. On hand for the ceremonies were Mayor and Mrs. Labonte and representatives of civic organizations including the Legion, School Board, O.A.P.O., and Hospital board, the Corps would \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD. like to thank- the many individuals and organizations that . have given support with special thanks to the Carpet Centre, Sechelt for covering the reviewing stand and the Sechelt Pipe Band who supplied the marching music. School Board The construction of the Pratt Road Elementary School was the main topic of discussion at the meeting of the School Board held on Thursday, January 27th. Norm Metz, the architect in charge of the project reported to the board on the modifications that were being planned to bring the cost of the school construction within budget. The board passed a resolution asking the Department of Education to approve the suggested modifications, which are designed to bring the cost of the building to around $42.00 per square foot. Trustee Spiekermann moved that the controversial B.C.T.F. Slide and Tape presentation on racism be shown at the next board meeting to determine its suitability for use locally. The presentation recently ran into heavy criticism from the B. C. School Trustees Association. After viewing, the board will decide whether or not to approve the use of the presentation in schools of the district. Trustee Peter Precesky reported that there was a Pender Harbour committee which was most active in investigating the possibility of getting a swimming pool located on the grounds of the planned Pender Harbour High School. The architect has been asked to locate the new school to facilitate the inclusion of a swimming pool on the grounds. Secretary-Treasurer Roy Mills said that the research being done by the Pender Harbour committee would seem to indicate that in some school districts in the province, already, the Department of Education was taking a more favourable view of such projects than'heretofore.

Ferries There's been a lot of grumbling locally about the ferry system and, certainly, there would appear to be a lot to grumble about. The fares are too high, the service is cut back, replacement ferries are inadequate, the food is terrible. All true, sadly true. And yet there is a positive note that should be sounded. The Coast News has invariably found that the people who work on the ferries, our neighbours, are almost always cheerful and helpful. Many times they have gone just that little bit out of their way to make something possible that might not have been possible without that little bit of human consideration. The fault with our ferry system lies basically in Victoria, not in the crews that run the boats or manage the terminal. It's a distinction worth making. Career education Overall the Career Education program that this school district seeks to implement would seem to be a positive step. The Department of Education thinks it's a good idea. The Department of Manpower thinks it's a good idea. The concept of providing students with a more realistic idea of what awaits them in the world of work is one that should be supported and would seem to be capable of gaining support judging by the cross- section of potential' employers who by their presence and their comments gave initial support last Friday. Of course one could grumble that it's been done before with less fanfare and in this district but perhaps not on the planned scale. There was a bit of huffing and puffing about the need for a new administrator to administer the program but Haydn Killam of Sechelt put his finger on a valid point when he expressed his opinion at the meeting that the school board was well enough staffed to run it without further addition. In the corridor after the meeting one of the administrative staff of this school district said worriedly that \"It would mean another teacher out of the classroom.\" The Coast News at that time said and says now again, \"Why not an administrator out ofthe administrative suite?\" It is the contention here that this school district is already top-heavy in highly paid administrative personnel and the implementation of a new program, however worthy, should not be a single for more of the same. Recycling It's hard to understand why the Recycling program had to limp to endorsement from the Regional Board only after Gibsons Alderman Jim Metzler noticed a procedural point which turned rejection into endorsement. Why was this necessary? The figures available would indicate that the program is winning acceptance in this area. It provides work. It reduces waste. It costs the Regional Board nothing. What on earth could the members who voted against it have against it? ...from the files of Coast News ^|^'e ^fenj^^^' 5 YEARS AGO Two directors were nominated for the chairman of the Regional Board at its meeting last week: Director H. J. Almond and Director Cliff Thorold. By secret ballot, Director Almond was elected. On Monday Mrs. Wynn Stewart of Stewart Road reported she had about 150 Cedar Waxwings in her garden, cleaning up the berries left from last fall. She regards it as a sign spring is not too far off. 10 YEARS AGO The Sunshine Coast in 1966 experienced its greatest year in home-building since records have been accumulated: 133 new homes. There are now 3,342 telephones in the four B. C. Telephone exchanges on the Sunshine Coast. Gibsons leads the way with 1,681. 15 YEARS AGO Estimates place the annual value of firewood production in Canada at $45 Million. Some 46 percent of all Canadian householders still depend on firewood for heating and cooking. Ad: Through this pipe passes B. C.'s best bargain: average pound of Esso throughout B. C. 6.1 cents. That's real bargain...even common salt costs more per pound than Esso. 20 YEARS AGO Sechelt Indian Village has lost another of its originals, by the death of Mr. Joe August Sr., aged 67. He was the son of August Fleeourtenni and Marguerite Wouranitenate, original Chinook names and was a well respected member of the community. 25 YEARS AGO King George VI died quietly in his sleep Wednesday morning, and it is with the deepest and most profound sorrow we pay tribute to a great King. The British Empire lost a great leader and the world an even greater man in the passing of our monarch. Long live the Queen. 30YEARS AGO In preparation for the Klondyke Dance to be held on March 15, the local boys are growing handsome beards in real he-man style.

Martin Warnock, who arrived here in 1909, had his first seine-boat, the Kerry W., built in Nanaimo by Harry Vollmers, in 1923. Depletion of salmon and herring schools forced abandonment of these seiners forty years later, but the Warnocks still fish for a livelihood. Photo donated by Agnes Carter to Elphinstone Pioneer Museum. L.R.Peterson Musings SM John Burnside Slings & Arrows George Matthews One night last week I was among the fortunate who enjoyed Yoshie's marvellous nine-course introductory dinner. Sometime during the marathon I mumbled, with, my mouth indecorously full of barbecued pork fried rice, \"Nobody ever asked me to these free dinners when I was a school teacher.\" One of my companions at the table was the owner, I think, of a log sorting company. He said simply, \"Well, you've learned something about social status, haven't you?\" A week or so later I was sitting at dinner in the Bonniebrook Lodge - yes it sounds like a great life and in many respects it is - in the company of two fallers, the highest paid men in the woods. They were still working in this snow-scarce January. It was pretty well an introductory chat and in the course of it I mentioned that I had been a teacher for fifteen years. \"Teachers!\" was the rejoinder, \"They make more money than anyone.\" Now, it seems to me that there is something significant somewhere in the germ of these two fragmentary conversations. I mean, isn't it only a generation or so ago that .teachers were known to be underpaid but were revered for their dedication to education and to the young. In this district this type of teacher is perhaps exemplified by Stan Trueman, Cloe Day, Les Peterson, and Eileen Glassford. Now in the course of a generation teachers have gone from being loved and respected and underpaid to a point where, if the evidence of the two conversations which began this piece is to be believed, they are generally believed to be among the highest paid and apparently least respected. What has brought about this change? From personal experience over fifteen years in several schools in several parts of the country I . know that there are teachers out there just as hard-working, well- motivated, and deserving of respect as teachers have ever been. It's the public image which unfortunately has changed. Why? It is undoubtedly a complex question and any answer essayed can only be partial, of course, but it would appear to me that much of the fault lies with the ever- expanding bland mushroom of the B. C. Teachers Federation. As I mentioned the other week, the B.C.T.F. was a walk-up office just twenty years ago. Les Peterson remembers when it was Charlie Ovans and a couple of secretaries. Now it occupies a city block between Sixth and Seventh Avenues on Burrard and is gradually taking over another city block at the corner of Forty- Ninth and Cambie. Now the point here is not that B.C.T.F. is unique in bureaucratic growth. A visit to Victoria recently made that quite clear. The offices there have long ago spilled out of the Parliament Buildings and like some deadly fungus occupied all the truly fine old houses in the vicinity. It grieves one to see \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD a beautiful old bay window filled, not with a gracious grandmother at her sewing or reflective grandfather with his pipe, but with the peculiar dead green of a governmental filing cabinet. There's even a luxury motel just by the harbour which has become filled with government offices, probably rented and probably at astronomical cost. No, indeed, the growth of the bureaucracy which is the B.C. T.F. has been vigorous but is in no way unique. Nor can the Federation be said to have been a stirring advocate of militancy and a creator of unrest during its burgeoning middle age. In . fact it has been a bit of a marsh- mallow in its dealings with school trustees, the government, or anybody else with any clout - though it can take sternly judicious positions with individual teachers whose servant it theoretically is. Because of the privileged nature of their work with the young, teachers have been able to ride on the backs of organized labour at the salaries they now command - without turmoil; strife or any real negotiation. They wait and they see what, the industrial average is and the arbitration awards it to them to avoid school strikes. Fat and complacent the organization is full of people who with smug unctuousness call themselves 'professionals' to differentiate them from the workers. The primary meaning of professional is one who works for fees and in this sense can only be used by doctors and lawyers, engineers and architects who set their own fees. The more general definition of professional as in 'professional hockey player' or 'professional wrestler*, and a variety of other entertainments, is simply someone who does what they do for money and, ironically, it is this meaning of 'professional' - so often spouted at B.C. T.F. meetings - which the public has come to associate with educators. They do it for money. - It's almost as if the young dinosaur that was the B.C.T.F. had an idea at birth - a single idea which it could neither in twenty years change or develop - the idea that teachers should get raises at parity with industrial workers and have successfully into its maturity retained that one functioning concept. Willing, earnest, hardworking teachers for years have worked on things like Learning Conditions committees and trustees have progressively become more cynical about such things as learning conditions and class sizes because they have seen the teachers under the direction of the Economic Welfare Branch of the B.C.T.F. sacrifice everything and anything to make sure they got the maximum annual percentage on their salaries. Hence this one man's opinion of the public's changed attitude towards the teaching profession. In actual fact teachers work for salary as do the industrial workers on whose backs they ride without struggle' or sacrifice to the standard of living which is the envy of the falter. The public face of education has become bland and greedy, cynical and disinterested. It is not a completely true face but it is the face the public sees, and the face the profession is known by and it is the face that must be changed if teachers would enjoy again the respect that once was theirs. .*.*-*,*.*.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD,*,*\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDT\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD~\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD%\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD> \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Sunrise at the Fraser's Mouth by Al Purdy Orange peel, apple cores and beer bottles bobbing among the nets, everyone halt asleep ortully, the sun lost in mist.

There is no peace or content in this waiting but we'stir and move into wonder. If you have been wondering, as I have, what ever happened to the inventiveness, imagination and enterprising spirit that is supposed to have made this country what it is today, concern yourself no further for I have discovered that spirit alive and well and living right here on the Sunshine Coast. Where, you ask, did I stumble upon this pioneering genius. Was it at school, at the mill, a Chamber of Commerce meeting, a Regional Board or School Board meeting? Most assuredly not. I made this most remarkable discovery at the Gibsons Municipal Dump. I went to the dump to deposit what I considered to be some of the most useless, unsightly trash, to ever litter a rural slum dwelling. Upon arriving, I .was descended upon by half a dozen young men who appeared to be inordinately interested in my stuff. As I have said, this was some of your lower quality refuse and needless to say I was somewhat embarrassed at not being able to produce something better. As fast as I could, I threw this rusted, trivial nonsense onto the fire and with equal speed and agility these fellows dragged it out and proceeded to examine it with great care and interest. While studying my collection they carried on a fascinating dialogue about a wide range of subjects from the relative merits of macrame underwear to the benefits of hydroponic gardens in the bathroom. It was not long until I began to perceive a certain pecking order among them.' The leader of the group emerged as the tallest, most emaciated of the six. I surmised his status almost immediately as he was the most magnificent of the bunch in his tie-dyed caftan, skillfully braided beard, hand tooled leather machete sheath, waist length, grey tinged hair, sandals, handmade from discarded, studded snow tires. After he identified himself as a reverend of the Universal Holy Light, Heavenly Days, Children of the Earth Communal Vegetarian Church I realized I was in the presence of a man of no small consequence. My initial judgement proved accurate when this man entered into a narrative on how he had parlayed an investment of $23.65 into a two acre estate capable of providing sustinence and comfort for himself, two wives, four concubines, thirteen children, three dogs and assorted cats with enough profit left over to transport the whole arrangement to Mexico for eight months every year. The most remarkable feature of his story was that he had accomplished this incredible feat guru's fee, returned on successful completion of the twelve year undergraduate program), and the divine knowledge of the universe, (which this man informed us could be summed up in one word). He neglected to share the word with us. Starting off in the dead of winter with nothing more than his $23.65 and the Word, he built himself a small bungalow from, cedar branches chewed from young tender trees up there on Mount Elphinstone. He ate moss, twigs, leaves and despite being a vegetarian, the occasional squirrel that wandered unawares into his.accommodation. During this time he did not just sit around waiting for fortune to strike. Investing 69* in some writing paper, 24* in stamps and 51* in envelopes, this go-getter sat down with the 98* Paper-Mate he had unearthed at the dump and composed some letters. With his third letter he struck pay dirt. He had applied to the federal Agricultural Research Redevelopment Rest and Recreation Administration for a special research grant to produce, for general publication, a collection of time-lapse photographs of eggs being laid. In his application, which was enthusiastically endorsed by A.R.R.R.R.A., he stated that he needed a few essential items to begin his work: film, special lenses, camera, materials for constructing a hen house, barn, silo, house, fences, a dark,room, enlargement facilities, a flock of hens, an acre of land, a car, a truck and enough money to see him through the first eighteen months ofthe project. The application caught the attention of Bluejeans Whalin, the farmer's friend. (Known to non-farmers as hard boiled, to farmers as soft boiled, to his opponents as scrambled, Quebecers as 1' Omelette and to the members of his own party as cracked.) Bluejeans immediately recognized the potential benefits of the project and saw to it that the grant was awarded. From then on this fellow never looked back. A cultural grant from the provincial government to produce a collection of writing based on the scribblings found\" on washroom walls at the Penn Hotel followed in 1973. An artistic grant from Canada Council to produce sculpture from melted tin cans and fused glass for exhibition at the Biennial Neo-\" Trotskyite Socialist People's Pan American Art and Rummage Sale in Mexico City was another major coup in the development of his financial empire.

Editor: Re the letter written by John Hind Smith regarding the Soames or Knob Hill trail L.I.P. project. We are sorry that our efforts to improve the trail on Soames Hill have found ill-favour with some people. Since Soames Hill has become a public park we are endeavouring to open trails which will allow people of all ages to enjoy the beautiful natural aspects of the park and the magnificent view from the top of the knob. As the original trail was quite badly washed out and disappearing through people sliding as they raced headlong down the hill, we felt it better to develop a trail which would provide surer foot holds and a railing in the more precarious spots so that those who are not in top physical condition, those with small children, or those who are elderly could also enjoy our park. We accept your criticism of the new trail, but we, and many of the people we have talked to feel it is a great improvement over what was there. Everything that has been done has used only the natural wood; ie: split cedar, cedar rounds and felled trees into which steps have been cut, in the hope of keeping the park as natural as possible. We would certainly be pleased to have you, Mr. Hind Smith or anyone else with constructive ideas for the future development of the trails, to come and give us their suggestions. Please phone me at 886-2543. We hope that everyone will begin to enjoy our lovely new park. (Mrs.) Pat Forst Area \"F\" Representative for the SCRD Recreation Commission. Editor: I wish to express agreement with John Hind Smith's letter regarding the trail up Soames Hill. A few days after Christmas my family and I climbed the hill by another route. As we began to descend by the trail on the south side we were shocked by the large trees which had been cut down and the so called improvements. The steps which have been made are far more hazardous than the original trail and detract from the natural beauty of the area. Those who found it difficult to climb the trail before, will find it equally as difficult to climb several hundred steps. This is a natural park and should be kept as much as possible in it's natural state. I sincerely hope that the work on the trail is the only \"improvement\" planned for this beautiful hill.

With part of this profit he purchased another acre down the road and set up the same business again. Strangely enough the buyer of his first property, did not show a similar energy and enterprise and within six months went broke. My new acquaintance, having a generous nature and a keen business sense, offered to buy back the bankrupt property for the princely sum of $6800.

Profiles of this place Catching the ferry by John Faustmann I vividly remember my first ride on the B. C. ferries. Newly arrived in Vancouver, I'd seen little of the rest of the province. An invitation from an old friend in Gibsons was reason enough for the journey and a few weeks later I found myself in Horseshoe Bay. This was the same day I discovered fish and chips at Troll's, which will enter into this lengthy public nautical encomium again. But to return to the ferry. It was one of those mildly boggling beautiful days that you get in February. The sun was out, the air was not too brisk, and you couldn't see anything but incredible mountains anywhere you looked. I rode the whole way up on the top deck looking at the scenery. I may have even panhandled some bread ends from the kindly people in the galley and fed them to the seagulls that usually follow the boats. In all it was a magnificent crossing, and took no time at all. I kept congratulating myself on having come to this particularly spectacular place. Since then I've ridden on just about every government ferry in B. C. I've taken the big Swedish one to Nanaimo, the smaller one from Kelsey Bay to Rupert, been on the ones that call into Alert Bay and Sointula, and talked to the Captain in the wheelhouse of the one that plys the Powell River-Comox route. I got into a great conversation with one old fellow who worked on the Campbell River - Quadra Island run. He'd been working boats on the coast for years, and had started out with the Union Steamship company. With this bit of experience, I feel qualified to have an opinion about the B. C. ferries. I've put in my hours on board. I've eaten government hamburgers with the best of them, and waited a quarter of an hour for an order of toast. I've had guys drive into the back of my car on the loading deck, nearly fallen over when the boat docked, gotten lost in the passageways where all the doors say \"Crew Only\", and generally come to know what to expect. Still, ferry rides aren't what they used to be. Since that first sunny day, a lot of water as they say, has gone past the prop. I still manage to go up top if it's a nice day, but time has made me a little more casual about the scenery. And I've taken the boat at every conceivable sailing, from the first yawning departure at five thirty (summer schedule) to the late night wired and infinitely grateful exodus from the big city. Some things change, some stay the same. The journey, when taken in the day, remains beautiful. Nothing has changed there. The mountains still strut their stuff down to the wavy sea, and the islands you pass still beckon in a way they always did, conjuring up Crusoelike images of quiet contemplation. The ferries run well, and always have. They go on time for the most part, and they get you there, and they have an enviable safety record. They work so well, in fact, that it isn't long before you take them for granted. That first pristine crossing soon fades in memory, and it becomes a standard journey. Then it gets down to the bread and butter aspects of the ferry ride from Langdale to Horseshoe Bay. It's 7:30 on a winter's night, and you've got fifty minutes ahead to take up whatever slack you can. You walk up from the car deck, and head immediately to the cafeteria, where there is a long line to get something to eat. You eschew this, and head forward to the newstand, which is closed. The part that used to be the dining room is now a lounge, so you can't eat there, and you come back downstairs. All the Vancouver Suns have been taken, so you get a copy of one of the local newspapers. Five pages later, after the troublesome news about the school board, markedly odd editorials, and a particularly convoluted book review, you're ready to try the cafeteria again. This is the only entertainment left, unless you want to go stand out in the freezing rain on deck, or go back down and sit in your car, reduced to counting tail- lights and singing to yourself. They've run out of plastic trays, so you pick one of those ridiculous cardboard things up with the holes in the side. These are patently useless items, perpetually dumping their contents onto the waiting tiles below. Before you, huge steam tables arouse your interest. These are empty, however. The choice is almost non-existent, and your mind is left to fumble between the enormity of a plasticized salmon sandwich or a strange square polyethelene tub of suspicious looking soup. Further down the line, all traces of real crockery are absent. Liquids are rendered up in wax cups, or more polyethelene. There aren't any real spoons, just tho.se delightful little white plastic ones. Sometimes, .all. they give you are those plastic sticks to stir with. The final indignity will come when you get to the end of the line with your poly cup of coffee, and there will be one plastic stirring stick. It will be chained to the cash register, I suspect. In short, in the years I've travelled this particular run, I've seen things deteriorate. The actual service is still effective, but there have been so many minor but continued erosions of quality over the last few years. But then I'm sort of strange, anyway. I like to eat from real plates, with real utensils. I like to eat real food, tastefully prepared, and not shoved at me along some conveyor belt. I like those little touches, like drinking coffee from a real cup and saucer. It makes me feel a little more human, somehow. It makes me feel as though the people who run the ferry (the government) think of me as a human being. It's nice when the government thinks of you as human. When it doesn't, watch out. And this is the possible .reason for the present erosion of the B. C. ferry system. The people who run it seldom take them. They fly to Victoria from Vancouver. It takes much less time, you know, and it's worth the extra expense, especially when the taxpayer is paying the cost. These people don't care what it's like to ride from Langdale to Horseshoe Bay. They have no intention of ever making the trip. So now the prices have gone up to take the journey. There's a more stringent qualification test to get a commuter card, and the range of food has deteriorated. This is essentially because the government, elected to office by the people, has promptly returned to the idea that the ordinary folk are only useful around election time. The rest of the time you can take their money and give as little in return as you possible can. This is good business. At the present rate of dehumanization now taking place on board the ferries, it won't be long before they'll take all the furniture out, leaving us to huddle on the steel floors until we reach the other side. But you'll still be able to get good fish and chips at Troll's, if the government doesn't buy them out. Ann's Coiffures Is pleased to announce the return of DALE FRASER to our staff.

So we have two plans to help. A Retirement Savings Plan, and a Home Ownership Savings Plan. They both earn you valuable tax savings, and when you subscribe to either one, or both plans your contributions can be applied to any one, or a combination of these investment vehicles: 1. Royal Bank RSP and HOSP Deposits. Interest-bearing deposits with The Royal Bank or Canada, offering a high interest return, geared to the general deposit rate structure.

Prizes with a total value of $1,000 are up for grabs by thirty-two rinks. There is already a waiting list of half a dozen rinks for this gala affair. Bonspiel chairman Ron Lacey has lots of ideas for our first big 'spiel, including a piper for the official opening. There should be some good curling too, by teams from Gibsons, Sechelt and the lower mainland. The Tri-Mill Bonspiel last weekend kept curlers and spectators in suspense until 1:00 a.m. Monday before Art Craze rink with Murray Crosby third, Fred Inglis second, and George Host- land lead finally beat out the Pat Chenier rink. Both rinks will travel to Prince George for the big Tri-Mill Bonspiel next month. Mike Clement, Brian Gilchrist and Harold Pratt are conducting a clinic on Sunday mornings for a group of about twenty students from Chatelech and Elphie, plus a few parents. The clinic runs in series for at least four weeks, when it is hoped that they can start another group through a similar process. Twenty is the limit for each clinic, and you will be notified through this column when you can apply for the next round. Mike, Brian and Harold attended the Pacific Coast Curling Club clinic a couple of months ago. receiving their first stage instructors certificates. Young curlers of this area are fortunate to have these fellows available to instruct them. The Sunday morning Hangover League reports that they usually have one or two openings. for spares. If you have nothing to do between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. come up to the rink and maybe you '11 get in on a game. Rugby victory Gibsons Rugby Club defeated ? Vancouver Red Lions this; week by - a score of 3-0. The score was not indicative of the play as.Gibsons dominated throughout the game, particularly in the scrum. The locals were hampered by the fact that most of their backfield was injured. . Gary Gray, Roger Douglas, Gerry Farris, Mike Dorais, Kenny Johnson, and Pat Gaines were all injured. The points were scored on a penalty kick by Tom Blaine filling in at scrum half. Blaine had a fine game as did Frank Havies who made a couple of fine runs. The game was marred by a very serious leg injury to one of the Lions players which necessitated the summoning of an ambulance and delayed the game for half an hour. A second Lion player suffered a broken cheek bone. The next game for the Gibsons team will be at Langdale field on Saturday. February 5th at 1:00 p.m. against the Vancouver Kats.

Rugby club loses first The Gibsons Rugby Club lost their first game of the spring season last week to their arch- rivals\", the Scribes of Vancouver. The Gibsons Rugby Club, just back from their Hawaiian tour were generally lack lustre throughout the match and came up on the short side of the 10-0 score. Injuries from the Hawaiian tour and some. last minute rescheduling worked to the disadvantage of Gibsons, and despite pressing the Scribes for the opening 15 minutes, the Scribes kicking and. wide open play soon wore down, the home town side. The Scribes scored 2 ties, 1 conversion and 1 penalty kick.

He suggested a library card system whereby a book borrowed from any one branch could be returned to any other federated branch. Watson also proposed hiring undergraduate students through \"Young Canada Works\", a federal make-work program to catalogue and standardize all library books in the area. Have some news ?

If there are very many dead fish in the stores' aquarium, you should leave those fish for another time. Also watch for dusty patches, (Velvet disease), white spots, (Ich) or fungus. These are all indications of sick fish. If you do not see any of the above, there is a good chance the fish are healthy. Try and watch for the strong looking fish, and choose the'ones which are swimming fast and seem to be playing. I find the best way to keep fish happy is to buy males and females of each species. If you buy live bearers (swordtails, guppies etc.) buy one male and two females. This way one female is not being perpetually harassed. If you buy any of the tetra or barb species, buy at least four of each type as these fish like to swim in schools. If buying catfish for the aquarium, a good rule to follow is two catfish for each five gallons of water. If you are not too sure of a fish that has your fancy, find out how large he grows. A little Oscar is a cute fish, but he grows to twelve inches long, and eats anything he can swallow. When buying plants, try to buy the ones with a good root system, and green lush leaves. It is good to buy one or two of each type of plant; this way you should have success with them. I would suggest some of the smaller species of sword plants, some bunch plants, (Caboma, Bacopa, etc.), and some of the grass types (Corkscrew, Val, Sagitaria, etc.). Now that you have bought some of these fish and plants, be sure the dealer packages them properly. For the fish, the bag should hold one-third water to two-thirds air. For the plants, a small amount of water to keep the roots wet is all you need. If you are going to be travelling a long distance be sure your fish are not going to get cold. Have the dealer use either an insulated bag, or several paper bags inside each other if you plan on travelling more than two hours. When you arrive home with your parcels, place each of your plastic bags, (still closed and with contents intact) in your aquarium. Leave them in the aquarium, at the very least, fifteen minutes, preferably half an hour. This gives the. water temperatures of the bags time to adjust to the aquarium temperature. Open ';ach bag and add some of your tquarium water, then let stand for another ten or fifteen minutes. This gives the fish a short time to acclimatize themselves to their by Gerry Ward new environment. If you have an isolation tank, put your fish into it to watch for disease, and put your plants in to look for pests, such as snails. One item that is very handy for aquarium use is a Ph test kit. With one of these you can adjust the acidity or alkalinity of the water with the fish, to that of your aquarium. Do not adjust the water too fast as this will do the fish harm. Watch your new fish for a week or so after having placed them in their new environment, so that any problems arising may be quickly remedied. With good care and attention your fish should live twice as long as they would in the waters that they come from. TERRY KARKABE Three days ago a local worker inadvertantly said \"the word\", the one word which is guaranteed to make me see red and froth at the mouth. The word - for those of you who don't know me - is strike. There was a time, as everyone knows, when union activity was the only way to get a fair shake for the working man. It was a long uphill struggle which for the most part proved successful in achieving a decent living standard right up to the early sixties. At this point in time we see two relatively dormant giants rear their ugly heads. Walking hand in hand down main street North America we suddenly notice Credit and Media. Advertising giving a helping hand to the most ancient of human tragedies - naked greed! Union leadership begins to abandon its high ideals and concentrates on collecting dues, strike funds mysteriously dis: appear, top level unionists are teamed with organized crime, management suddenly realizes it can justify high prices because of high wage cost. Bankers demand their pound of flesh and suddenly there comes to me a vision of a gigantic man dressed in coveralls and work boots being*sucked dry by other peoples greed and his own avarice and ignorance. While the business world is concerned basically with statistical percentages the working man is tied to the dollar sign of basic arithmatics. Consider this: John Doe works for company X which pays him .5 dollars per hour. The company expects to realize a gross of $15.00 for the hour in question and out of this they expect $5.00 net profit, (highly unrealistic numbers but they serve the purpose for explanatory simplicity). Five dollars net profit represents 33l/3% of the gross income company X expects to make. The union calls for John Doe to get more money and settles for a 50$ an hour increase. Other related industries raise the overhead another 50$ and so it now costs company X $11.00 to make a $4.00 profit assuming sales remain the same. This of course is highly unsatisfactory to head office which wishes to maintain the same profit level as before and also build up a reserve against future troubles. So the price goes up not one dollar to bring the profit back to $5.00 but one dollar and a half to show 33 '/3% profit. What's amazing about this is that everybody loses. And yet it goes on. In Germany the company opens its books to the union and they discuss intelligently how much the company can reasonably be expected to give the workers in the way of shared profits according to production, sounds pretty reasonable. Of course if everyone was reasonable we wouldn't have phychiatrists or marriage coun- cellers or police, or wars or any of those things that keep money in circulation and the economy on its way up. And of course that's not realistic either. Just the same I'd like to make $8.00 per hour too but I don't suppose you'd'like to pay three bucks for a ham sandwich.

Coast News, February 1,1977. Low-cost quality houses \"It's a new approach to low- cost housing.\" said Bruce Wormwald of B & G Construction Services, Ltd. He was talking about the five houses built in the Bay area of Gibsons under the plan proposed by B. C. Remote Housing, an arm of Central Mortgage and Housing of Canada. Under the B. C. Remote Housing scheme the idea is that the down payment and the monthly payments are adjusted to the level of the individual's income. Wormwald stressed that the plan was designed to help the most needy members of the community, usually young people with growing children, who might not be able to afford adequate housing with some planned program. The people who become the householders are \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD selected on the basis of need and deserving by a local committee appointed by B. C. Remote Housing. Locally the committee consists of Jerry Dixon, Vic Epstein, and Bill Lang. \"The houses we are building in Gibsons,\" said Wormwald, \"are a higher quality than those that were built under the previous A.H.O.P. program. They are truly a quality low-cost house. Let's face it,\" said Wormwald, \"I'm going to be in business in this area for a long time and, low-cost or no low-cost, I have no intention of getting the reputation for shoddy work.\" At 1,055 square feet including a full basement the houses are only fractionally smaller than conventional housing. The recreation and utilities, room lead directly off the foyer and provision has been made for the installation at a later date and at the householder's option of full downstairs toilet facilities. Insulation has been used with the basement concrete. Upstairs the rooms seem spacious and well- finished with select materials being used in the finishing. The houses are electrically heated with double-glazed windows. The lots on which the houses .sit are 65 feet by one hundred and sixty- five feet. Wormwald is the President of B & G Construction Services, Ltd. and at present the company employs fourteen men. Including sub-trades, the project kept twenty-eight men employed all through the winter. The sub- trades involved were B. E. Electric Ltd., Ray Coates Plumbing, R & B Bulldozing, Ken DeVries Flooring, Gary McCall Drywall. and Bob Zornes Roofing. Materials were provided by Gibsons Building Supplies and Elson Glass. In addition, Wormwald was told that his project had prevented layoffs in both the plumbers and electrical trades this winter. \"I'm proud of the quality of these houses,\" said Wormwald, pointing out the Prestwood cabinets of good quality and the mould-top counter. \"They have been inspected by both the local and government inspectors to the complete satisfaction of all.\" Wormwald also volunteered the information that the houses featured seamless gutters, which were not specified as necessary, and that he allowed one-year for deficiencies in construction to show themselves as opposed to the forty-one days specified by the government. The government-priced houses are $38,500 for house and land. Several of the five already built are designated to future householders. Application forms are available at the municipal office. Sechelt Arts Centre At a recent meeting of the Sunshine Coast Arts Council, Chairman Doris Crowston brought those present up to date on the possible acquistion of the three lots owned by the village of Sechelt and also the log building that has already been donated. Crowston stated that this log building would be taken apart and put back up on the proposed site. Clarke Steabner showed slides of the building as it sits now on East Porpoise Bay Road. Also shown were plans drawn up for the new centre as well as a lovely painting by Charles Murray which gave everyone present a better idea of the end result and its beauty. Steabner stated that the building would cost some $30,000 and already some $6,000 in materials had been donated. It was agreed by all that Chairman Crowston telephone Dr. Perry ' and ask for three months notice regarding vacation of Whittaker House and to thank him for not raising the rent.
