Quann's ten acres was good bottom land and had contained a wonderful stand of | old growth timber, but unfortunately an old fire had killed it all long before the white man came to Gibsons. The cedar did not suffer, and the shingle bolters of a much later date had to make three passes across the area defore it was cleaned up. The fir snags Jimmy chopped down were rotten in the tap but sound in the stump. I would say that when that timber was green green it would have easily run 100,000 B.M. to the acre. This-is what Jimmy cleared,, and when, he was though the ground was absolutely clean and fenced. It was sure a swell job. Well, Where is it now? There are some shake shacks on the front- one of which I think w^as his* and certainly not a credit to later comers. As for the rest* the 'alders have taken over and I hope that from some celestial shade where Jimmy has his just reward and chew to his heart's content, he will not take it.unkindly that his efforts were so poorly appreciated. ; - W. fVicFadden, D.0.

Last year, and for many years, village rubbish has been dumped on and about Gospel Rock, into any handy Creek or ravine or into the sea, just so long* as it is out of sight for the moment. The Village benefits little from a clean-up drive which simply moves the nuisance to the neighbours. J We also hope this spirit of Clean-Up will not die at the end of the week. If every one uses common sense, good care, and the services of the Garbage Collector, the Village could stay a clean, attractive and healthful place for everyone. Table scraps, unwashed tins and jars, and food wrappers, at/tract flies, encourage rats and mice, and invite the prowling cats, dogs and skunks of tlie neighborhood into the village. These natural scavengers are often carriers or spreaders of disease, and will only be discouraged by the removal of that which attracts them. While on the subject of Clean-Up, it is to be hoped that the effort goes as far as a real drive against the rats, too. It is not an encouraging, sight to prospective home oi' business buyers to see large, well fed rats.on the streets or about buildings. It can be done, by action, and continued action- by everyone concerned. A clean town is an ait/tractive and healthful town, and usually becomes a prosperous one because it attracts those who can bring prosperity to it. Boulder, Bodega, Crown, Balmoral.

The work of integrating the Government telephone system with our existing systems is complicated and detailed, and while it is well under way, it will not be fully completed for some time. Already telephone men have gone into the field to begin the gathering of data on which to base a program of expansion and improvement. This program will have three main phases: (1) providing additional long distance circuits; (2) giving telephone service to many of the people who are waiting; (3) gradually improving the existing plant. Already we have increased the long distance facilities between Vancouver and central B.C. and more circuits are to be added soon. Other improvements in long distance service are planned for the near future.' The North'west Telephone Company has acquired that portion of the system within its operating area on the coast from Campbell River and Powell River northward. The British Columbia Telephone Company has taken over the remainder. exchanges in the territory taken over are as follows: BY THE BRITISH COLUMBIA TELEPHONE COMPANY Terrace Haselton Smithers Telkwa\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDserved by Smithers Houston\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDserved by Smithers Burns Lake Vanderhoof Fort St. James Quesnel Wells\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDincluding Barkerville Williams Lake Alexis Creek 100 Mile House Forest Grove\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDserved by 100 Mile House Clinton Ashcroft Lytton Lillooet Shalalth\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDserved by Lillooet Gibsons Sechelt Pender Harbour\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDserved by Sechelt Port Renfrew Bamfield Ucluelet Tofino Ahousat\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD(including Hot Springs Cove\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDBoat Basin\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDEstevan\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD- Hesquiat) Thetis Island\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDserved by Chemainus Gabriola Island\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDserved by Nanaimo Hornby Island\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDserved by Courtenay BY THE NORTH-WEST TELEPHONE COMPANY Quadra Island\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDserved by Campbell River Kelsey Bay Alert Bay Sointula\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDserved by Alert Bay Nimpkish\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDserved by Alert Bay Port Hardy Queen Charlotte City Port Clements Massett In addition to the exchanges listed above, we will serve numerous places too small to be classed as exchanges. These will be classed as toll (long distance) stations. Several of the exchanges listed above have no switch' boards of their own but are served from nearby switch' boards. Telkwa, for example, is served from Smithers. In addition to the exchanges, we are acquiring numerous long distance lines, including those' between Prince George and Ashcroft on the main telephone route to central British Columbia. A boundary is being set for each telephone exchange. For telephones within an exchange area there will be a monthly exchange rental based on the number of telephones served by the exchange. Telephones outside of an exchange area will be classed as toll (long distance) stations, and a charge will be made for all calls placed from such stations, even to other telephones on theNsame line. There will be no monthly rental charged for toll stations but there will be a moderate guarantee required. The rates which went into effect on April 1 throughout the former Government system are the standard ones in use by the two companies in accordance with their officially filed tariffs. The companies follow the standard practice of having business telephone rates higher than those for residence telephones. While there will be an increase in business rates, the basic rates for multiparty residence service will be reduced. Most sub* scribers will pay less. There will be no surcharge for Monophones. Some short'haul long distance rates will be increased, while generally those between the former Government territory and the systems of the two telephone companies will be reduced. Exchange rentals will be billed a month in advance. In order to distribute the b lling work evenly, ail exchanges do not have the same billing period. For some exchanges the billing period is the calendar month while for many others it is- not. The billing date is clearly set forth on the bill, and the date by which, payment is due is also shown. To each existing subscriber in the Government territory we are sending a contract for signature, covering the arrangements between him and the telephone company which will serve him. All Government telephone personnel will be employed by the telephone companies, and will receive not less than their old rates of pay. In general, the wage scales of the companies are higher than those of the Govern' ment system.

Meeting The Annual Meeting of Farmers' Institutes in District E held last month has\" been received by the local Institute. There is much of interest and Information in (tJheise{ reports, 3S well as a current picture of activities. Mr. T. Kuhn, the President, spoke of the work of the Milk Committee, that group organized to find out the wishes of the dairymen, in regard to the Milk Marketing Agency. He thanked the men who had org- ganized these discussion meetings, and who had done so much work, in spite of lack of cooperation in many places, and Jack of financial assistance. He Sechelt Child Severely Burned Six-year old Carl Joe of the Sechelt Indan Reserve suffered second and third degree burns, wh&i h(is jclathing caught on fire while playing near a slash- fire near his home early this week. The brush at the rear of the home had been cut, and was being burned. A group of the boys had drained a gasoline barrel near by, to add to the flames. One of the boys acci- dently kicked the bucket containing the ga^lotnej, and Carl was splashed with it. His clothing flamed immediately. Terry Joe, Carl's twelve-year- old brother saw /the accident, and immediately threw the child to the ground, smothering out the flames in the soil. Carl's left leg is quite badly burned, and in St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, skin grafts will be made. It is likely that he will not be home for about two more weeks. assured them that their work had not been in vain. The farmers want-a plebescite on the formation of a Producers' Marketing Board, which would have the power to control the sale of all milk products in the Fraser Valley Milk Shed. Ben Greer of the Lime Committee' stated Lime Tonnage was down 25% from last year. The Surrey Institute resolved that the joint Dominion-Provincial Subsidy on Lime be increased to half the delivery cost, and removal of the present 100 ton maximum. Various Institutes sent resolutions asking for a lessening of Educational Tax on land. Mr. Flowerdew's report on Poultry (indicated an ftmprovemefcit fcn prices. More attention should be paid to costs of distribution. Here also is favored organSza- tion under the Marketing Act. Most of the resolutions from 1953 were either \"Under Consideration\" or \"No Action\", according to the report. The one on Land Clearing methods had been withdrawn, but that dealing with an increased appropriation for Agriculture had produced a slight increase.. The hope is expressed that through co-operation, insistence and drive, British Columbia Agriculture may someday be on a par with Industry. QUESTIONAIRE ON AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL The Department of Agriculture Sis presently' investigating 'the possibilities of an Agricultural School for the Province of B.C. The Minister, Mr. Kiernan, is dirculating a questionaire, regarding a possible School. In it, he asks\" Would you favor the establishment of such a school in B.C:\", \"Would there be sufficient support to warrant such a school?,\" and \" Would your sons or grandsons, or those of members of your organization, attend such a school?\" FOR QUICK SALES USE THE COAST NEWS CLASSIFIED Beach Combing How ganized Industry Loggdng Firms', -Insurance Companies and Provincial Government have combined in a move to put the Beach-Combing or Log Salvage, activity of B.C. on a proper business footing. This industry is one which runs into the million dollar figure, and is one which in the past has cost the Lumbering Industry many a headache and much in revenue. New regulations and legislation will stop wholesale log theft, that has been adding to the cost structure. Every year, logs to the value of $600.0DO to $1,000,000 go adrift, on the way from -he- coastal booming grounds to the mills. At present, these logs are insured, and the Insurance companies pay for them. They, then become the property of the underwriters, These then are1 the Beach-combers harvest. Marked logs are redeemed at .from three to ten dollars unmarked logs may be sold on the open market. Caspian bepch combers and log-pirates have been making amounts varying from pin- money to good annual incomes according to their activities. Now, the non-profit organization, the Gulf-Log Salvage Cooperative Association, plus the* new regulations, will tell a different tale. Beach-combers will be licer_- sed.. Fifty dollars-for the first, and ten dollars for each succeeding year are the fees. There wil|i be log-receiving stations scattered along the coast. They will pay fifty percent of the market value of logs, and marked logs \"will be returned to their owners. The Co-operative Assooiaton will operate a fleet of 25 vessels, end will nave aircraft, for spotting missing logs. Co-directors of the Association are Roy Campbell, of B.L. Johnson Walton Co. Ltd., and. George Barnes of Macaulay, NicolLs, Maitland and Co. Ltd. ervice Char In Cheques. Boomp-sie Lfaisyi in Savings Account The increase in service charges on savings accounts was put into j effect by the banks because of j the cost of servicing the growing I. number of cheques drawn on these accounts, a trend that has j been particularly marked since, the removal of the excise stamp on cheques. This was stated by T.H. Atkinson, President of The Canadian Bankers Association. At the present time, the number of cheques drawn on savings accounts is running at the rate .of'more than one hundred million a year, and the increase in the service charges was an attempt to meet part of the mounting cost of the bookkeeping involved. The increased charges will still fall far short of the actual cost of providing these facilities to the public. On December 1st, 1953 the banks voluntarily increased the interest rate on savngs accounts from one and one-half percent to two percent, to bring it more into line with the general level cf interest rates in Canada. That meant an: increase of approximately $19,500,000.00 im the amount banks paid to customers who maintain savings accounts with them'. Tlie increase in service charges will not much exceed $2,000,000. In other words, those who hold savings accounts in the chartered banks will receive $19,500,000 in extra interest each year and those who use the chequing facility! will be charged approximately $2,- 000,000 in extra service charges. It is only fair that those who use the special service should pay a reasonable proportion of the cost involved. The new service charges are 10 cents per debit entry with n allowance of one free cheque for a quarterly balance of $100, two free cheques for a balance f $200 and three free cheques or a balance of $300 or more.
