ROBERTS, Hardy Island LONG before our woods were . full of 'cats' and 'dozers' and held only a few horses and oxen we who built the first roads were no more fond of cutting through the big trees which lay on the right.than you are today.

To get around a big windfall which lay in the way we miyht say to the Big Boss \"Would it matter to go around this one?\" and he might say \"It wouldn't hurt now, would it?\" And there you have the reason why the old roads seem so long and crooked.

Phillips Home Isr Destroyed By Fire PENDER HARBOR-- A chimney fire, took the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jimmie Phillips and family May 7. Mrs. Phillips and her seven children escaped unhurt except for minor burns suffered, for which she was taken to St. Mary's Hospital for treatment. Her husband was not at home at the time of the fire. Much thanks go to Wilf Scott, of Scott's Transfer, who was the first to discover the fire. By quick thinking and fast work he managed to help save a lot of the furnishings. Ollie Dubois, next door neighbor, saw the smoke and rushed to the scene but was too late to do much, although he and Mr. Charles Sundquist kept the fire from spreading to the nearby bridge and car. KLEINDALE Mrs. C. Harper, Correspondent A surprise party was held for the birthdays of Peggy West and Helen Sundquist.

BY IMER BEAMISH A fire which very nearly ended in tragedy occurred at the Fisherman's Co-operative float at Egmont May 8. One of our good citizen fishermen, Mr. Geo. Day, in company with Mr. Wm. Blakely, had come, in with a tow of lumber from the Gilmour Sawmill. They had just tied up their boats and their lumber and Mr. Day had started to prepare his dinner. While his kettle was heating on the oil stove he decided to put some gas in his tank in preparation for a run after dinner. He secured the gas in a five-gallon measure and before putting it in the tank which was inside the cabin he shut off the oil stove, then started to pour the gas. Suddenly there came a flash and he was enveloped in fire. He tried to throw the flaming measure out of the open door but it struck one side and fell back at his feet, drenching him with gasoline. Immediately the only exit from the cabin was a mass of flames which poured out the door and the pilot house windows and shot many feet above. To those outside it looked like \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDs\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDark r ^ doorway was realized f6 be hope less and swift action was started to smash in the front of the cabin on the chance that a rescue might still be effected that way. In the meantime the trapped man, with great presence of mind snatched a woollen blanket from his bed, wrapped himself in it and came out through the flaming doorway, his clothing on fire from head to foot. Many hands tried vainly to quench the fire on his clothing and realizing their inability to do this they dropped him overside into the sea. At this point the gang divided, one part to Film Board Has High Praise For Coast News B. C. and Alberta Regional Supervisor Len Chatwin of ^ie National Film Board left for Ottawa to attend a conference of production and distribution departments of the National Film Board on May 14. Mr. Chatwin takes with him the reactions as received by Harold Box, field representative who has been on the peninsula circuit during J^ie past few months. These reactions and desires will be given to the conference in order to guide and assist the department in producing films that the people want. PRAISE COAST NEWS Mr. Chatwin has been very much impressed by the results obtained since this circuit opened and the fine co-operation extended by the Coast News in publicizing the circuit, and with his other information he is taking to Ottawa copies of The Coast News to show the excellent publicity given and how it has increased support of the circuit in this area. care for the injured man and the other to attack the burning boat. Willing hands and enough buckets and sea water soon had the fire all smothered down to only the burning gasoline measure, and the timely arrival of a man with a fire extinguisher snuffed even that out, and the fight was over. The whole action was very fast and it appears nobody lost his head as sometimes happens. Due to these factors a man, though badly burned, has a good chance of life and further usefulness and he has a boat to go on with when he is able to do so The injured man was given first aid by William Blakely and put aboard Mr. Victor Cramp's boat and taken to St. Mary's hospital at Pender Harbour At last report he was doing well. Mr. Day was a good fisherman, a good citizen and a good neighbour and we wisn him a speedy recovery. Gargrave Speaks ^LegioiiBall GIBSONS LANDING\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDHerbert Gargrave, MLA, addressed a well-atended meeting at the Legion Hall here on May 20. He reported on proceedings of the . recent session of the Legislature with particular attention to the more important of the many bills passed. He believed that implementation of the Cameron report on education was very important, and with potentialities of great benefit. It was likely that amendments would be found desirable after trial of the new policy; he hoped that the attitude of the public would be to make the new policy one of better and more complete educational service, especially, in rural districts, rather than focussing on money-saving. He believed children in rural areas could and should have opportunities more nearly on a par with the large centers than has been the case in the past. Mr. Gargrave was not too optimistic about the future of the road program in this district. He thought we might look for a better deal than in the past, but said that the Department still fails to face up to the fact; that roads here are in a deplorable condition and that patchwork repairs are useless. The need, he claimed, was for heavy capital expenditure on machinery, and a program of using modern equipment to build a modern network of roads for the traffic of today and tomorrow. The local hardy perennial, Mr. Gargrave concluded, was the Port Mellon road, and was still only on paper, though he felt it was perhaps nearer completion than it was in 1913. He had obtained a promise from the minister of public works that he would visit this district in the near future and examine the matter personally. Page Two THE COAST NEWS, Halfmoon Bay/ B.

Coast N&tvs Ltd. By Jane Drury FOR SOME reason or other, Sunday seemed to be very popular for fishing around here. It was quite early in the morning when our friend Bill Deans headed towards _ the lake so fast that his nose almost scraped the sidewalk as he was passing our place. Shortly after he was on his way, a good many went by; mothers, fathers, bobby sockers and the diaper brigade, all headed for Powell Lake. Some had the fanciest of lines, all decorated up like Astor's Plush Horse, only with spoons that shined like a mirror. Later in the morning a lovely bo^t (tug-boat size) passed on one of the logging trucks. She too was on her way to the lake. Launched a few days ago at Lund, she was towed to Powell River and then started her land trip. Was she ever a beauty and oh! what lines; made of cedar and mahogany, I was told. FISH FROM HEAVEN All,this started me dreaming of some of the fishing trips I had been on while camping up West Howe Sound, and of the fish consumed\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDyes, without even going after them. This happened a good many years ago but it happened just the same. Our camp kitchen was mostly out in the open\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDroof over it and cedar shake sides half way up-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDho-.-.door's at all. Cooking out in the fresh air like that was always a pleasure. We used to take turns getting breakfast which usually consisted of mush, bacon and eggs, toast, jam and coffee. A very hearty\" breakfast for city folk who were just loafing the summer away. However, this morning it happened to be my turn to gat breakfast and when I went into the kitchen I saw about eight oolichans lying beside the stove waiting to be cleaned and cooked for breakfast. Hmm! wherever did they come from\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDftbey were fresh because they were firm, and as the kitchen was about 150 feet from the pater's edge they certainly didn't jump that far. I looked around to see where puss and her young family were, but they were not in sight and no evidences was visible that they had had a feed either. Oh, well, I cleaned the fish and we had them for breakfast. DELIVERED BY CAT The next morning the same thing happened only there were not quite as many fish. We were still puzzled and still alive from our feed of fish the day pre-^ vious so these too got cooked for breakfast. Its good going when the fish come to you instead of you going after the fish. The third morning in succession the same thing happened but at the same time we found put who had donated the fish to us. Puss was very busy and so were her two kittens, eating a fish each when we arrived on the scene. Apparently the oolichans had come intoo far on the high tide and the sand from the gravel pit got into their gills and they were left stranded. It was nothing unusual to see a school of these fish at that time of the year. During the night or early morning puss who was always on the hunt for something for her offspring, must have brought the fish up and laid them on the kitchen floor and after the kittens had had their fill and puss too, they had gone off and had a snooze leaving behind' the ones they hadn't touched. This only occurred three days in succession FLYING ANTS On Bill's way home from the lake last evening he saw me at the window and help up a - parcel\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"here ye are Lassie\" and he gave me two lovely trout. I started to clean them at once and I got the surprise of my life when I opened them. Inside one was a live flying ant and the inner tubes of this one. was full of flying ants. It must had consumed a couple of hundred. I opened the other and sure enough it was full also. I don't know much about flying ants, but I think they all come out of the earth on a certain day each year, fly around and drop their wings before nightfall. I have seen them on the salt water a good many times so I take it that wherever Bill caught these trout the ants must have been in abundance. I called . the men folk in the house to have a \"look see\" before I disposed of them. The trout tasted grand and we thoroughly enjoyed them. On these lovely warm days my thoughts are csfcill wandering most of the time up West ItJowe .Sotind.as, I recall so many happy incidents. It is on days like these that I think of the following: The * summer's here and each year comes a yearning To shun the dusty streets and sweltering heat And camp where we can have our fires burning And hear the wild waves dashing at our feet. Welcome Oh! boon of life, bosom of nature, Thy joys intoxicate, thy lures beguile, Encamped beneath the clear blue skies of summer, Let's feel the joy of living for awhile.

THE GOVERNMENT bounty on cougars at the present time is only $15 and that is not enough to. encourage hunting them. Cougars take time, energy, patience and skill and $15 will not attract regular pest exterminators. A decent bounty will attract experts and the predators can be controlled. But this is the only method. Observers who know tne methods which cougars employ to secure their food, state that cougars kill on an average 30 deer each per year, which at the bounty rate, makes a deer worth 50 cents. Match this 50 cents wih a fee to non-residents or royalty, of $15 and a fine of $25, for shooting a deer out of season. These are the government's regulations. Placing the value of a deer at the modest figure of $5.00, a cougar normally destroys living property to the value of $150 a year. If to this is added the revenue which would come from hunting fees, resident and non-resident . and the other .revenue from hunters, Canadian and American, if deer were plentiful, the loss actually is far more than the $150 per cougar. At the present time, the cougars are increas-^ ing in British Columbia's hunting and range1 areas and the* hunters, as previously noted, \ will not go out after them for the present- bounty, from which they cannot meet expenses. Many B.C. hunters claim that they would be inside the mark if they estimated the average, deer killing by a cougar at one a week o_vj 52 a year. One of them reports that he was] traiing a big cougar and found that it had! killed six deer in five days. He got the cougar j on the sixth day. | Regarding the\"claim that cougar kill only'* sick deert cougar hunters state it has no foundation in fact, on the contrary they assert that: a cougar will kill the biggest buck. In respect of the game commission's claim] that the deer will get too thick if the cougars are killed off, huners ask that if his is true, which they doubt, why not let them have a- chance to kill the deer so that these animals will not \"become too thick\". That is, why not keep the cougar down /and let the people^ have a shot at the deer and let them have the meat instead of a predatory animal. To control cougar, put a $40 bounty, whicri works out at a valuation of $1.34 a deer. As for putting on predatory animal hunters! at a fixed v/age scale, this would cost far morel than $40 a cougar. But the $40 bounty would] assure a constant supply of eager cougar nun-; ters in.every section where these animals exist 1 There would be scores of these hunters againstj a couple of salaried government cougar hunters!] u Poet^s Corner Birds By Marvin Kirkwood Soaring o'er land and sea, Bringing to others, joy and glee; But why are you so shy, Beautiful winged creatures of the sky.

She is powered with a 110 Chrysler Crown Marine gas engine and will probobly develop 70 hp. in the 2-1 reduction gear and 22x 18 propeller. Layout of the ship is interesting. Forward in the nose of the ship are two berths, lockers, and just off this cabin a small wash room and toilet. This section of the ship is a complete compartment in itself. PILOT HOUSE The pilot house is of the observation cabin type, running clear across the ship's beam, with narrow decks outside. It is a streamlined ship forward and aft and has large plate glass windows all round. A fine light and an electric air whistle has been installed. The steering wheel and engine controls are set slightly to port of center and are easily controllable by the man at the wheel. Underneath* the floor of the pilot house is the engine. On the port side of the engine compartment is a 140 ampere hour 32- yolt storage battery. A one-inch emergency bilge pump, belt driven from the main engine, insures fast pumping in case the ship sprung a serious leak and required to be pumped while the ship was still under way. In the pilot house is a settee and room for easy chairs, and this cabin is large enough to serve as a small chapel accomodating ten people. The ship will carry an ample supply of folding chairs for such gatherings and the chart table provides a place for the ship's altar. CABIN In the cabin aft, the layout is a bit unusual. Along the port side stand the oil-burning, fan- driven range, the sink, and the lockers for kitchen gear/ On the starboard side forward is a dinette, slightly raised above the main floor of this vabin, with very comfortable upholstering* which when the dining table is lowered, can be converted into a double berth exactly as a pull- man berth is arranged. Aft of the dinette is a small office and radio telephone room. The radio has loudspeakers both in this' cabin and the pilothouse and it will be possible to set the radia telephone at the receiving position and hear any calls that may come in while one is at the wheel. Then, if a message must be transmitted, it will be necessary to go back to the transmitter and operate from there. GENERATING PLANT Outside in the spacious cockpit is a 32 volt 6000 watt electric generating plant which charges the main batteries. It is an air- cooled unit. Across the aftev side of the cockpit is a large insulate ice box which serves as a seat. The ship's dinghy is carried on the upper deck. But I finct that nearly always I tow the> dinghy as I make a great many rowboat landings after anchoring. The ship's hull has a two-foot strip of gumwood sheathing along the entire water line, and is of tremendous value in avoiding the inevitable chafing of the ship's planking\" when tied up alongside log booms or when occasionally forced to break thru ice at the heads of the'Inlets. She is a well-appointed ship, and it remains to be seen how good she is in heavy weather. Her full speed in her trial run over the measured mile off of Point Grey was 10 knots. This may be improved with slight propellor adjustment if it seerqp advisable. The ship was built in 1939 by the Vancouver shipyards to the design of Gilbert Jukes, and the engine was purchased from the Canadian Atlas Diesel. The radio was installed by Spilsbury and Hepburn of Vancouver and the repairs were effected under the direction of the Vancouver shipyards after she was taken over from the RCAF, to whom she had been on charter by the owner, Arthur Head of Cobble Hill, Vancouver Island. He has owned her since 1939 but from that year until 1942 did not have her in commission owing to the war restrictions. While in his hands she was known as the^ Panda and during her charter to the RCAF, as the Goose. She She now reverts to the name of the two previous ships, John Antle, and is a happy way in which to perpetuate the name of the founder of the Columbia Coast Mission. BASE AT PENDER HA9BOUR The John Antle will make Pender Harbour her base, and I will concentrate on that general area, including Lasqueti, Texada, Hardy, Nelson, Thormai^py Islands, as well as all* of Jervis Inlet.

And is that not what a paper such as you is for? If so, then try to find space where one might ask another the 'how' and 'why' of things. Or you could have some of us older ones ready to answer such letters of enquiry which may seek the answer to problerhs we older residents have overcome in one way or naother.
