'ARRY 'OBBS, PfiNDER HARBOUR Is Beauty Necessary ? WE ayjuig too much for something (I have just paid/my Income Tax, &nd someone* else is always protesting.) But, looking deeper into the news item, what do we see? We see, he said, answering with some rapidity, that they are paying 2.5 cents a kilowatt hour, whereas some other residents of the area pay as low as % cents. It's a dirty shame, that's what it is. Discrimination, old boy. Now, everything, like my old aunt, is purely relative. Are they complaining because they are paying too much, or because someone else is paying less? A nice point, you'll agree. Some people, funny in the head on my count, are quite happy paying too much as long as everyone else is paying too much too. Me, I don't care what you pay as long as my bill is reasonable; that is, I don't mind you paying less than me. Not much, anyway. I do object, though, when the amount that I pay is out of all reason, and the distributor, ostensibly a part of our democratic government and .way of life and all that, makes a handsome profit in which I don't share. So would you. Now, I just figured out my bill for last month. We have a sliding scale which I've never been able to remember, but my bill for an average- size house is an out-size bill,'averaging over five cents per KWH. I don't own any power- saws or run a pulp-mill. J!jfow my argument is this: if -you people have^d^ided that govern- ment should Step\"into the pWer picture, and set and limit rates, even to the extent of giving Vancouver and Victoria a month's free light once in a while, then why do you ignore us? I pause for a reply. ^V Incidentally, a lot more people would use a lot more powerat a^rcitsonable rate. It seems to me that governments are apt to forget that they are in office to serve the public, and that raising money from one group to save money for another is not quite cricket. I'll settle for the two and ahalf cents.

The long axis of this irregularly shaped orebody is essentially horizontal, he says, except on the north end. The horizontal section has been developed by a series of holes at 50 feet intervals for a length of 200 feet. These indicate a cross-sectional area of 30 by 50 feet tapering to the south, but the south end is still open.

Sunning the Baby WHEN a baby is being given sunbaths or placed out in the sun, health authorities urge mothers to ensure that the eyes are protected. An infant should be shielded from direct rays of the sun, they point out, until able to move about easily. The baby should be placed with the feet pointing away from the sun, so that eyebrows and upper lids screen the eyes. It is also a good idea to line the hood of a baby carriage with some dull, preferably dark, material as extra protection.

REITER Madeira Park By C. Frank Steele In \"Forest and Outdoors\" j THOSE many green islands studding the Gulf of Georgia between Vancouver and Victoria have a peculiar charm for prairie folk. They have a great lure, for vacationists and \"The Coast\" is our playground, you know. We interior people flock.there in thousands and this is only the beginning for we too love the sea with its ships, its sailormen; its bracing winds. If they are not the Trade Winds we fancy they are and it all adds to the glamour of our trips. Now all this is not that we love our prairie home less, this sheer delight we have in the < spread of valley, forest, waterfront and sea. It is just that we relish a complete change and so we \"Follow the Birds to B.C.\" Of all the Gulf Islands I have a Shangri-la I call my Island of Dreams. Salt Spring is just that as it nestles green and fresh and quiet in the embracing arms of the sea. There it is, inviting all to come and enjoy the fuller life it has to offer. As my daughter, whovspends her summers there in a picturesque old home on Cranberry Road, says, it is \"out of this world!\" It is out of this world of worry and bustle, contention and selfish striving. On Salt Spring one finds a peace that is healing and new beauties at every turn of its roads and bridle paths. Its sunsets one can never forget as the sun in a burnished sky dips into the sea then vanishes in a halo of glory. And then the cool night comes on. The boat trip from Vancouver to my Island of Dreams is always pleasant no matter the mood of the weatherman. Aboard you will find interesting people\", good food and ample sheltered spots from which to view the every changing scene. Always, too, there is a fluttering and noisy escort of gulls.

There is real competition in that race for food. They seem never to tire in pursuit and follow the ship right into Ganges becoming almost part of the ship's company. Ganges Harbour is like something out of a Robert Louis Stevenson novel. There is a saltiness about it, a smell of oil and ropes and boats and a wharf that fills up with people at an amazing pace. It is empty save . Ilr. .Leo Friesen B.A., M.D., L.M.C.C. PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON 603 E. 15th Ave. Corner of Kingsway and 15th Ave. VANCOUVER, B.C. Phone FA. 3150 for a few drowsy loafers enjoying the sun one minute, it is; stirring with life the next. And beyond the. pleasant town one sees forests of Douglas fir, green and quiet with alluring payed roads stretching, to important spots on the seventyf. square miles that make up the island, the largest of the Gulf group. There are; still great trees on the island, trees hoary with age. It was fascinating to a prairie man, the dramatic moments when these straight, towering firs crash to the earth with a force that shakes the ground under you, followed by a, stillness not unmixed by sadness. The air is soft out there, the tempo of life is easy, the folk kind and neighborly. There are fish aplenty in the \akes, thrills on the miles of beaches, and pleasant trails threading their way through deep foliage. One never seems to get a fill pf the wild fruit along these trails. There is a strange stillness at night on Salt Spring Island. And how dark the darkness is to an Albertan accustomed to the open.plains with their sweep of moonlight. The \"eyes of the wilderness\" seem to be peering ait you out of the tangle of trees and underbrush yet all the while you know that the meanest thing on the island, perhaps is the.small, timid deer. The days pass all too quickly on this lovely isle. One realizes that the departure time is hearing yet somewhere back of one's mind is the pull to remain, remain indefinitely,; in this happy, simple, natural world \"ifar from the madding throng.\" One is tempted even to look around * for an \"island to buy\" as a friend of mine did, an island close as possible to Salt Spring and friendly Ganges Harbour, which I was told is older than Vancouver itself, and where the , famous ship \"Hood\" once dropped anchor. But leave one must. Again the wharf and the Mouat Bros, warehouse are stirring with life: The hoarse call of the \"Princess Mary\" starts folk hurrying to the gangplank. Slowly the boat pulls away from the wharf, there is much waving of hands and handkerchiefs, to some there is a sense of loneliness as. one leaves the > rail. Then you look up and there like old friends are the white, gulls flying bound with you for the city and the world of reality. , ..\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.-.-.' $239,0011 ANNUAL report of Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited shows that 85,707 automotive and tractor units were sold in 1946.

Friday, May 2, 1947 in Shopping Around Gibsons By l. Mcpherson I VERY much doubt if it is good policy, from we gals' point of view, to start o.ff this week with a shopping tip for the men. You know what men, and boats and fish add up to ... a big dent in the bankroll, no less. However the new engines on display at the Sea Bus Lines office rate top billing, with the ever-so-streamlined outboard that weighs 18 pounds and costs less than $100, as well as the trim inboards of Wz to 1% h.p. And have you noticed that this display window is the first to go modern, and become a lighted show-window at night? A very good idea, I'd say, and if you other merchants follow suit, it wiU cost you about a buck a month, using a 40- watt bulb, and be an attractive addition to our main street. Well, if the bank account has not gone overboard on one of the above-mentioned engines, or before it does, indulge in- a few new dishes. . . . either a set, some smart glasses, a few odd colorful bits, to make the meal time and dish pan just a bit different for a brief change. Lovely, but practical, bone china, and English cups and saucers are on sale at the gift shop with the turnstile. Not too expensive. Also, quite a few used library books are going five for the dollar, would do for holiday and beach reading. #\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD The hardware-general merchant whom we are all concerned about, and hope to see up and around again soon, has some 3 V2-ounce cbcktail glasses in. These are the squat well-balanced ones nifty for icy tomato, juice or the tangy shrimp cocktail. They are thin glass, nicely etched in a leaf design, and sell for only 15 cents each, and as these have not been around for ages you'll have to hurry to get your half dozen. Cross the street . . . and more dishes. English china again, and some.vases in pottery, all shapes, sizes, and gay enough without the bouquet. If you are all out for something super-super in china cups \"n saucers, there are simply divine ones upstairs at the store that has the upstairs. They are fit for the Special Occasion with a capital \"S.\" On the way upstairs, the Congoleum rugs you see are not a hallucination.
