There is a Cancer Unit in Powell River now but it is too far away from the southern parts of this area to be of practical use. The Cancer Unit has charge'of welfare, housing and other matters concerning cancer patients or prospective patients. It is for this specific type of work that formation of a Cancer Unit is desired. W. C. Harris of the Powell River unit visited various points -between Gibsons and Powell River to try. and . obtain support. Pender Harbour is showing considerable interest. Mr. Harris reports that if the area can be organized into one unit it is quite likely the B.C. Cancer Society would send in an organizer to get :; the .unit started.. Mr. Harris suggested it could be called the Sechelt Peninsula Cancer- Unit. Mr. Harris added that : Ernie Pearson, president of Sechelt Board of Trade was-: showing. an interest in the move. The budget for School District No. 46 of $347,120 for 1955 has now been finally approved by the Department of . Education and the government grants for the current year established. This was announced at Monday's meeting of the board. These grants will amount to $207,009 and a tax levy of -10.28 mills, which compares with a levy * of 12. 68 mills hi 1954, will provide for-the district's share of the budget.' The revised assessments for 1955 have been established at $12,679,961 as compared with $8,225,000 in 1954. This increase reflects the \"equalized assessment policy of the present government arising out of the new school financing legislation passed at the last session of the house and the normal growth of the district. - Owing tot. the shortage of teachers it has been necessary for many.boards to engage teachers who had special qualifications but only elementary .certification, to teach High School grades and to'pay these' teachers on the high school scale. In the past this situation has not been. recognized by the Department of Education for the purpose of calculating basic grants for teachers' salaries, grants only being made on the basis cf \"the elementary certification of these teachers. This anomaly will be rectified by the government in the future and grants will be made on the actual salaries paid to these teachers. In connection with the new building program the building committee, was authorized to interview architects and to engage a firm to make a survey of the proposed building program and to prepare preliminary plans and estimates for the information of the board and the Department of Education.

James Sinclair, federal minister of fisheries, paid another of his welcome visits to the Harbour Legion Branch 112, on Friday evening. A full house heard him speak on veterans' legislation, fisheries and his coming trip to Soviet Russia. Jimmy recently spoke at the annual meeting of the Vancouver Board of Trade where over 1,000 businessmen gave him a standing ovation. In the Legion Hall at Pender Harbour with around 50 rugged men who make their living mainly from the seas and the woods, the general effect was the same. \"Jimmy\" has a. personality that projects itself sincerely to any group, regardless of politics or party. The Minister was obviously thoroughly at home right from his introduction by President Fred Claydon, through his talk and down to the oyster feast that concluded the evening. His remarks on veterans legislation covered a summary of the ten years since the war and included such information as the fact that $54,000,000 was spent on bringing veterans up to date on unemploy- s ment insurance after the end of the war. There were more old vets in B.C. than in any other province, he said, because they could live better at less cost at the coast. Over $2,500,000,000 had been spent by the federal government for veterans' assistance of all types since the last war, Mr. Sinclair stated, in concluding: this portion of his talk. On fisheries, he stressed the fact that the salmon and halibut catch on the B.C. coast this year was one of the greatest in history, with only the herring situation marring the year's production. \"Fishsticks\" produced from frozen cod was a sensational new development and was enjoying great popularity in the East. The minister told of the many difficulties in. working cut a formula for unemployment insurance to cover fishermen, and promised to continue his efforts for satisfactory legislation. When he reached the portion of his talk dealing with his visit to the Soviet Union it appeared that this was what most of his listeners had been waiting for. Mr. Sinclair stated there was a definite lessening of international tension between the Soviet Union and the rest of the Western world. The only exception to this was certain hot-headed elements in the United States. The factors which helped to produce this more relaxed atmosphere he said, were the success of \"NATO with 14 nations acting together on ioint problems; the fact both East and West had nuclear weapons that could annihilate the other and the gradually increasing belief that the pres-. ent rulers of Russia were not the type of madmen represented by the late unlamented Mr. Hitler. He was going to Russia to attend the meeting of the International Whaling Commission to be held in Moscow on July 18 to 25. He had been advised by the Soviet ambassador that he would be allowed t0 go freely to fishing areas, particularly those On '. the White Sea, and to the Siberian Fishing Institute, considered cne of the world's finest, which had previously been a closed book to foreign visitors. Sinclair's talk was received with hearty applause and a request by president Claydon that upon his return from behind the \"iron curtain\" he come back to t'.e Harbour and tell the boys ell about it. and new fields at one time. To facilitate this work the students had agreed to use the elementary field for a playing area this year. However, the board considered that the establishment of the Little League was a matter of such importance for the youth of the district that an effort will be made to have the ditching and grading of the whole playing area completed by May 15 and, by postponing the seeding of the old playing field until the Fall it is hoped that this playing field will be available, unseeded, by May 15. At the moment the ground of the new area is too soft for the ditching machine and other equipment to operate but given some fine weather the work will be rushed and the elementary field can be used by the Little League for, a time if completion is delayed. Detailed information was received from the Madeira Park Community Club of the work performed by this organization on the Pender. Harbour School playground. The board had agreed some time ago .to set aside the amount of $500 as its contribution to this work r.~d. a?, the statement indicated th_. work to the value of about $2000 had been completed by the Community Club, partly by voluntary labor, the board authorized payment of $500 to the club. VON work increasing The regular board meeting EJphinstone Branch Victorian Order of Nurses took place April 14 in Selma Park Community Club. Miss Mabel Cooper, the branch nurse, re- :por,ted an ; increase in the, number of patients using the service and a consequent increase in number of visits made. The department of Veterans Affairs, TB Control, and Cancer Society of Canada, all re- 1 fer patients to the branch nurse. Nursing care and preventative nursing care are also carried out on the Sechelt Indian Reserve. The meeting was advised of a donation of $70 which had been made by the Wilson Creek Community Club. The annual campaign for funds starts on May 2. Attractive flyers have been printed to be distributed prior to the campaign and canvassers in the various areas are ready to start. The branch requires $3,600 over and above known sources of revenue, tot carry on the service for the next year. All funds are spent locally and those who administer the funds are all volunteers. Used clothing depot sought Wanted: A social service inclined organization to be a collection point for used and cast-off clothing. A need for such an. organization has developed as the result of a request reaching The Coast News for someplace to have a depot in which such clothing could be placed for distribution whenever the need arose. The request cited possibilities of other people wanting to dispose of usable clothing but not having any place to send it have been forced to thro them away or use them up as old rags. Opening up of a collection point, even if only twice a year, in the Spring and Fall months, might provide a good used clothing bank against a serious need at some future date.

The unpardonable sin is to loiter; no one wants to miss one turn of a revolving door. It isn't that bad but bad enough. The philosopher, Einstein, said: \"I always think of the United States as the land of interrupted conversations.\" I think he meant this as a compliment; he found people so friendly they could not wait to shake his hand. Take the matter of motoring, speed has become a virtue; the man who remains within regulation There is a saying: . \"Get money and you will be able to get others to work for you.\" I den't -see anything smart about that. As long as I am able, I want to do my work. I believe in what someone has called \"The angel of toil.\" Work is a blessing, not a curse, and I never did care for an old song which began: \"I wish I was in heaven sitting down.\" I have known some extremely busy men who held positions of great responsibility, but they were all men who were capable of meditation. Once when in New York I had to spend some time with a leading publisher. I knew he carried a. lot cf responsibility; he had to make important decisions. As we walked along the street he invited me to enter a great church where we .Owing to the late arrival of a cut \"A Logger's . Tales\" will be found on another page of this, issue. sat for 10 or 15 minutes. When we came out he said: \"That isn't the church to which I belong but I often drop in for meditation\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDI see things in a different light and also get hold of myself.\" . It is a long time since a devout Hebrew wrote the 37th Psalm, but he must have been an intelligent man. He knew what it was to be worried, harassed and perplexed, but he also knew where to find peace. Listen to this: \"Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him ... commit thy way unto the Lord, and he shall bring it to pass.\" Our quotation to-day is by Augustine: \"God is patient because He is eternal.\" we are under the Power Commission or B.C. Electric It would not be economic for the Power Commission to be isolated along the Sunshine Coast while B.C. Electric is allowed to expand and pick the juicy power plums along the coastal area as they develop. It is no stretch of the imagination to liken the power situation to that of the recent bus line negotiations when an established bus service : was temporarily side-tracked and the franchise given another company not so well'established. The PUC ruling on this was reversed. Will the, gers and tensions of the world. It was the Spring of 1952, in May, in fact May. 19, being two days after the Norwegian National or Eidsvclldag Holiday.

There is considerable weight behind arguments that can be put forward by the Power Commission. It is already active in the area. With extensions and an increase in power at the source it could do as good a job as any newcomer into the field. It will be interesting to watch what the PUC will do. To. those persons well-versed in behind-the- iscenes affairs the PUC verdict will\" be one of extreme interest no matter which way it goes. ON READING AN OLD NEWSPAPER* Spring moving caused them to sort through their chattels and so they came upon the newspaper. It was slated in the eighleen-seventies and the most prominent of the sedate headlines said, \"Crisis Deepens.\" It happens that the same paper is still being, published, although with its name altered, a bit. \"Crisis Deepens,\" was among the deadlines of the current issue.' This continuity of crisis cheered' them up. In a changing world, crisis was a thing you could depend on. Imminence of disaster, become a norm, gave stability to their lives. They went on with their sorting, feeling that even the uncertainty of Spring moving wasn't so bad after all. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe Printed Word.

In the manu- _acturing process, something extra was stirred into the floating soap\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDair! Air is only one of the dozens of ingredients; chemists ifcave added to the plain-soap- and-no-nonsense of 50 years ago. The modern woman luxuriates in delicately scented toilet soap moulded in assorted fancy shapes. Grandma had- to-be content with a chunk lopped off a long bar in the grocer's shop. But in the 19th Century, people made their own soap and the brew was Iiorrible. For hundreds of years soap was made in; the Siome by boiling lye with the surplus decayed fats from the Sdtchen and the farm. Looking Sack at the evil-smelling result, it is hard , to explain -Mankind's long-standing passion for cleanliness. It must have taken a hardy soul to face up to the rugged task of taking a bath! But such fortitude-, was rewarded. Scientists have taken ihe basic fat-and4ye formula and transformed-it into a product delightful to use. The modern soap industry still practises its ancient\" 'art by boiling fat and lye together in. a kettle. The old-iron pot The animal fats, once so unsa yory, are now deodorized, and some cocoanut cr olive oil ,is usually, blended with them to provide/ lather. Some chemicals are added to prevent: it from going rancid^ others help to soften hard water; and still others improve the soap's cleansing properties. Then come the \"frills\" \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD perfume, color, germicides, and sometimes air bubbles to make it float! i Keeping clean is a big business today. In Canada the soap produced each year, not including synthetic detergents, is worth about four million dollars. But if scientists had not made bathing a pleasure, business,would not be nearly so brisk! RIDE A BUS.

Again 250 feet and the road swung up a grade to the right. There was quite a hill there. Facing'us were dark slits in the rock. On the rising road were two triangular gates with stars on top, which being visible at that distance must have been pretty large. Over all that rise was flapping in the stiff wind a large red flag.

President, American Federation of Labor: \"Collective bargaining, we have learned, can exist only in the environment of political freedom. Where there is no individual liberty, there is no free trade-union movement, either. \"Every dictator from left to right, as a first step in the consolidation of power, has sought to destroy free trade unions. \"And so we are dedicated io freedom, not only political but also economic, through a system of pri-,> vatu enterprise. We believe in the American profit system. We believe in free competition. The American . private - enterprise system, despite some defects, has achieved far greater results for wage earners than any other social system in history. * \"The American worker, without doubt, is the best paid, hestc-oihed,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD and best- housed worker \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDn tlie world.

The'children of American workers have greater educational opportunities than children, of any other workers; the workers' wives and families have greater comforts and opportunities for social and cultural development than families of workers in any other land. These comforts and opportunities, too. can be greatly increased over the next quarter century. \"We acre proud, understandably, of the contribution of trade-unionism io the changing American private - enterprise system.\" Increasingly, Canadian labor leaders are declaring a similar opinion: That free labor could not remain free under an all-powerful state socialism form of society\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthat it has most So gain by dividing the fruits of the most productive . system mankind has ever devised \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD the Freedom System of Canadian life.

The prospect of ample economic power has been an attraction to industry too.

New members admitted to the Legion at this > meeting were David Pollock and Ronald James Northrup. Col. E. S.

He told the Legionaires that while the early response to the Hospital's appeal was only a small amount, communities of. Egmont, where the PTA had contributed $31, proceeds of an evening's entertainment, and substantial contributions from Gibsons, Roberts Creek and Sechelt indicated that the points outside the Harbour were not only giving generous-' ly, but doing it quickly, and he urged that those present follow their example.

He outlined the problems of the person newly afflicted with blindness. Next week the 4guest speaker will be Mrs. Clara Nygren, provincial health nurse, who will speak on her duties and problems. The annual meeting of the CNIB was held in the Parish Hall on April 12. Mr.' Ogilvy, executive officer, came from Vancouver and gave an interesting and informative talk about the work of the CNIB, stating that in March 1954- there were 980 blind persons in the province, and in March 1955 there were 1980 registered blind people. Blindness had not increased to that extent in the year, but they had the opportunity now of getting around rural districts better, and. locating the ones who were blind. He also stated that the new wing to the Queen Elizabeth Hall had been opened on April 7. They could now accommodate 83 guests instead of 45.
