X: The children are unused to other than neighborly traffic because until this year the condition of the roads did not tempt many visitoirs, but few drivers realize that in the mill area it is quite impossible for. any pedestrians to hear > car approaching from behind. No child has yet been injured in a road accident in Port Mellon so please help to keep this safety record. Port Mellon drivers are expected to extend this same courtesy: to other Peninsula- Communities. Crerd i^J$|b ready Every area of the Peninsula was represented at themeeting of the Credit Men's Association at Sechelt on Monday last.\" All Opening of the Lang's New Drug Store in Gibsons proved a popular event with people from Port Mellon to Sechelt coming in through tlie day. In addition to admiring the store, and shopping, many drew prizes throughout the day. There are;7still four Unclaimed prize's, which may be picked up by the holders of the following tickets: 12175, 12068, 12- 261, 12043. / Ben and Louise Lang were on hand from Sechelt, with members of their \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDstaff, and friends^ ' Ladies were presented with beautiful white and mauve orchid boutonniers, as they made their purchases, or just called to admire the spaciovis new interior. Rae and Mrs; Kruse were kept busy also Sylvia D'Aoust and extra staff from the Sechelt store. The semirself-service was a great help with the merchandising. Compliments were heard on all sides on the attractiveness of the store, and bouquets of flowers sent by well wishers. Ben and Louise Lang, of Lang's Drug stores, were both well acquainted with the Peninsula, before they decided that Gibsons \"was a good place to start business. A:._ Ben's father, Dr. Lang, had a summer home in Granthams Landing since 1910, to which the Doctor used: to retreat occasionally from his practice in Vancouver. Ben used to spend his holidays there as a boy; and both he and Louise, in later years. Dr. Lang used to help out in emergencies when Dr. Fred Inglis, Dr. Hugh's father, would be rushed with accidents and other work. Dr. Inglis dispensed his own drugs, and had his own dispensary. When Ben and Louise started business in, Gibsons, they bought Dr. Inglis' stock andi present 7 seemed' 7 enthusiastically in favor of it, according \" dispensing equipment.

Ben and, his wife Louise had na easy time when they moved to Gibsons in 1945. They ran the business themselves, and counted the day a good 7 one when there was $ 10 in the till by noon. They lived in the quarters below : the store, which Fen says were cold, until they.had them relined. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD One of the features of the early drug store was fresh eggs Visitors thought it odd to be able to buy a dozen eggs there, but that was just one way of providing public service. Wheri Ben bought the building, it was W.yngaert's Grocery store, ' 1 People.had grown used to the** fresh eggsran3\"*Ben \"continued v to handle them. Since those days, many thousands of per-s'criptions have been filled, and many new lines of merchandise handled. > - In 1948, after much soul searching, and many anxious weeks, Beri says, Lang's Drugs expanded. They put in a new store at the then new Village Center in Sechelt. When Ben went to handle the store there, Bill Jackson was brought in to manage the Gibsons store. He stayed until he felt, he should give his growing family the advantage of an outside contact, and in 1953, he moved. Rae Kruse and his wife and young family came from ah Owl Drug Store in Vancouver to the Gibsons branch of Lang's Drugs, landing on Feb. 14, St. Valentine's Day, Mrs. Kruse remembers, three years ago. Rae and his wife 4re both popular^ in and out of tliie .drug . store. They managed the Gibsons store, often wondering how they could serve an ever growing public in the cramped quarters of the old store. Now, both are delighted 'with the move to larger, more convenient quarters, where they can give..better service. Sitting in the new store before the stock was in place, Ben. has commented that the public have been more than patient. They 'have continued to do business, even when the spa,ce of the old store made it difficult Ben says he has tried to make his business grow with the community. He remembers having the first neon sign between Vancouver and Powell River. Those were the days in 1946, when Louise managed the window and stock displays, a good deal of the bookkeeping, and home as .well. Close to $1,000 was collected for the Sunshine coast Boy: Scout association during May. This amount falls short of the $1,500 the association aimed for but there are still donations to come, and the amount is likely to go higher, according to a statement issued by R., Gill, chairman of the association campaign committee. Here is Mr. Gill's statement: \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD On behalf of the Sunshine Coast Boy Scout Association, I thank all those individuals and firms who donate* generously 7 ip bur 1956 financial campaign. 7 Thanks go to Mr. CJ3.

Considerable criticism can be heard in Pender Harbour area and from others who were involved, in the manner in which the Ruby Lake forest fire was allowed to get out of control when according to those directly involved it could have been contained the first night of the fire. Some facts as gathered by The Coast News show that when the fire started, Hume and Rumble, men managed to keep the fire in check. They reported to the forester at Madeira Park who went with them to see the blaze. He is then reported to have told the men to go home as the Forestry branch men would come and work on it in the morning after having received authority from Victoria. .--.'': There are a?so complaints after the fire was taken over of- Telephone expansion Telephone facilities on the 7\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDB^Gamlass rnatcM: ficially that the men received no inkling as to shift work and nD effort was made to provide them with food after long hours of work.

Telephone Company district sales manager, who announces that work totalling more than $50,000 was recently completed in the Secheit- Gibsons area to provide additional cable facilities and switchboard, andi the long distance line between Sechelt and . Halfmoon-Bay was jrearrang- ed and supplemented to provide additional facilities in the Halfmoon Bay area. Meanwhile, work is progressing in Pender Harbour on outside plant facilities to prepare for the opening of ai* automatic system there. A building to house the automatic central office equipment has been completed and installation is expected to begin soon. Feature of the outside plant work at Pender Harbour was laying of almost a third of a mile of submarine cable across Garden Bay to extend facilities at the time of the opening of the new system. In the near future another outside plant job costing in excess of: $10,000 to provide wire and cable facilities along Sechelt road and Robert's Creek Road will be started to take care of held applications, provide upgrading to reduce the number of parties on some lines andi allow for future growth.

This informaion is supplied by people who acctually fought the. fire and did all they could ua- til they were told to go home. One logger in the district is reported to have suffered : a loss approximaely $15,000 because the fire was allowed to get out of control. His statf& 6f timber, recently purchased, was practically ruined. The first and largest fire, near Ruby Lake, was fought by Hume' and Rumble crews, Porpoise Bay Mills, Silver Skagit, Lamb's, Crucil's and many independant loggers and operators^ . The second fire, on the M and W logging operations near Sechelt Inlet, was fought by M and W, Continental, Osborne's, Range Logging, Misery Creek, L.M. and N., and Roy Bros., Drilling Company.

Plans were furthered for the parade in which it is expected to. have the Girl Guides and Scouts, bathing beauties and' a long.line of floats. As regards the bathing beauties entries will be received by the committee from girls of high school age, and to start with a donor has offered a $10 gift certificate as a prize. It is the .expectations of the committee that the girls will be sponsored by a business or mercantile establishment. There will be various divis-, ions iri the parade such as best . industrial, best comic, best community float and numerous others. The younger fry will have a. chance for best decorated vehicles of their own. There is also the likelihood of a horseshoe tourney for the shoe tossers' and proper pits will be prepared for the event. There is also the likelihood of bands taking part in the parade if they can be obtained. In the meantime all the committee chairmen are busy lining up their various departments. A furthef meeting will be held next week. CENSUS MR. ARMOUR BACK HOME Mr. S. Armour returned to Gibsons after a stay in St. Mary's Hospital at Garden Bay.

Johnston, John Smuk of Smuk Logging company was charged, with failing to do his part to control and extinguish a fire. He was found guilty and fined $100 and costs.\" This item was handed in at The Coast News office by a man who drove a government marked passenger car. The Coast News checked and found the information correct. So it was used as a warning to other people. It was placed in The Coast News at the request of this government man whom we took to be a forestry official. \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\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-,.. > The reason the above'has been explained so thoroughly is to make people cf the Sunshine Coast who were directly or indirectly concerned with the Ruby Lake forest fire do some deep thinking and possibly seek some satisfaction from government officials for the unnecessary despoiling of the area. '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD The Coast News understands residents of Pender Harbour area have definite opinions on the handling of that fire. This also applies to others who were helping to fight the fire when it was first noticed. These men, according to reliable information given The Coast News, were quite satisfied they could contain the fire where it was. But what happened. Come., nightfall and they were told to \"GO HOME\". Sqme. 'watchers' were left but no further effort to stop it was made. - \ Others inquired as to what the forestry agent was going to do about the fire and' he is reported to have replied: \"Well we haven't officially taken over yet.\" The \"official\" taking oyer is reported to have taken place Thursday. . .,. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD A private citizen must not leave a small fire to spread! A forestry agent can. The Smuk case led to no loss whatever - because IT WAS NIPPED. IN TIME. The Ruby Lake fire resulted ih considerable loss,- because it WAS NOT nipped in time. There is no suggestion the forestry agent could have quelledi the fire single-handed. But he did have several crews of men who realized the danger and were ready to do( their part. Again The Coast News andi residents of this .area would like to know why the forestry branch \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD fire .fighting 'department have to officially take over a forest fire. Should it not be that when there is a fire the agent on the scene has power enough-to \"take \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDver\" the fire \"officially\"? Apparently he was in touch with the Vancouver H.Q. of the forestry branch. What arrangement took glace we have no way of finding out. Thousands .of dollars are spent every year in advertising and many thousands of words are written in the press or read over, tfee air, warning against (forest fires and urging campers and others to see no spark of a fire is left alive. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-. ' It is generally agreed that the Ruby Lake fire could have been .contained in a-small area, and put out - provided prompt on-the- spot action was taken at the start.

This was the first store, and was owned by Herb Whitaker, elder brother7 of Ron Whitaker cf ythe Sea Beach Motel. The first store did business with the few white settlers, Sechelt Indians 7 anl logging camps. Later a hotel was built, on! the left hand side of the read leading to the wharf. Here, on the ground floor the store took shape. Upstairs were rooms, an annex to the old Sechelt Hotel which stood on tlie right side of the road, about where the present theatre stands. During these years the old store was moved onto the spot now occupied by the present Union Store building and was used for a time as a school house. The Annex was destroyed by fire in 1910, and the store with it. Once more, the old building * was used for a store. Business .'., was growing along with increasing popularity of the area as a summer resort and the increasing number of white settlers. A German syndicate had taken over the hotel and the merchandising, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD and operated the whole set-Up as the Sechelt Seaside Resort:. With the outbreak of war, the German syndicate left, and once -more Herbert Whitaker was owner. He continued to 4 , operate until 1924 when it fell into the hands of the Credit Men's Association who operated the hotel and store until 1927, When > it was sold! to Union Steamship Company. During, this time, the original small store had been brought to the back of the present building, and was enlarged with rooms built above for accommodation purposes. The first Union Store manager :.was Mr. George Hooey, Who .operated until 1928, when Mr. Clayton . took over the management. Union\" Estates was managed by Mr. Hackett. * Mr. Clayton followed the changeinhte , y change in the trend Of business from a trading post which handled furs as well as groceries y. and logging; supplies, to a general .'family store, as the district changed and grew. The store, at Selma Park was run as.a sort of adjunct to the Union Store, during' the summer tourist months. This was managed.by various employees including Jim Mowatt and Archie Qorley.

Whitaker often spoke rather longingly of the days he and his sister Isobel (Mrs. Gilbert) 'spent their summer holidays in their younger days. , Their home later became the hotel annex, and became the hotel, under the Union Es- ,tates.

The school, too. moved. It was housed in a building near Porpoise Bay for a time, then at the west end of Sechelt, and finally the present school was built. At the time that the 'old' store was used for Other purposes, there was a four-roomed upstairs section, known as the bull-pen. Some oldsters remember this as a kind of batehelor apartment, others recall that those who had imbibed too freely used to be quartered there until they recovered.

BRITISH COLUMBIA .GOVERNMENT TRAVEL BUREAU, VJCT0RIA, B: C: THE OVERCOMERS A friend of mine, who has served several times as principal of a city high-school'but, for nearly ten years has helped a large institution for handicapped children, said it was his emphatic opinion that these crippled children were happier andi more contented than the groups he had taught in city schools. This is thought-provoking; all the more sp because.it runs counter to accepted opinion. We expect that the happiness of the handicapped will be considerably diminished, yet their courage and cheerfulness is a constant source of wonder. * * \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Isaac Watts, one of the most voluminous of all hymn-writers, as a baby was sick and puny and throughout life was so frail and delicate that his life was often despaired of. He was so small as to be almost insignificant. That he was.quite sensitive about his appearance is seen reflected in some of his hymns. Yet it was said of him that no matter what company he was in, his conversation made others forget all about his dwarfish appearance; hey was: .a giant in , mind and soul. He became minister in a church in London but from time to time was completely. prostrated. When spells of sickness came upon him it was his custom to write pastoral letters which were read to his congregation, and the amazing courage of the chronic sufferer was a constant source of wonder to his people. He seemed to have achieved such complete control over his body that even when racked with pain he managed to maintain a peace cf mind which breathes in all his hymns. Temperamentally opposed to gloom, no.man did more to make public worship bright . and interesting than Isaac Watts. # * * In 1707 he published the \"Hymns and Spiritual' songs.\" These hymns, reverant, confident and inspiring, changed the character of ' worship in hundreds of- churches. The very pews seemed to vibrate with the fervor of the people and the flickering candles which stood up from the little round holes in the pew tops,. would start as if-, with alarm, and quite frequently go out. Watts died in 1748, yet, after nearly two centuries/there are about 70, cf his hymns in constant use. And Watts is only one of thousands; many afflie- high spirits and vivacity aston- ' ishedi. all who knew them.. They ought to have been sad and dejected but no such thing happened. There is something about all this hard to under?. : stand and which can only be explained on the basis of divine aid. Several years ago, at the-request . of a man and his wife living in California, I went to see a lady living at the Home for incurables in a Canadian city. More than 30 years prev ious to this, these people had been children together playing happily in an Ontario village. Some strange malady, unfor- seen in childhood, had, laid this woman aside. I found her in a somewhat bare room and made, known the. reasonu.,..for my visit, i told her that heir distant friends had hot forgotten her; that they were thinking about her and praying for her; also I handed her some money they had sent for her comfort. I had seen some inmates of the institution out on the; verted worse than he was. ' Now, it isn't that these people were resigned and accepted the inevitable with resignation and set teeth.

Its extended powers to certain magistrates, expedited the course of justice, and aided in great national economy. , H.

In a two hour discussion, many technical difficulties were clarified. \" Senior Magistrate Oscar Orr of Vancouver gave a talk on probatioh, in relation to suspended sentences. Judge G.W.

It was one of the best played games so far, as the score indicates. Only thing that marred the game was the manager, coaching at third base started the \"rhubarb\" with the umpire and razzing the opposing pitcher to\" the extreme. ?, It does not leave a good impression on the youngsters. Batteries were: Orioles pitchers R. McSavaney and J. Fisher; catcher H. Oaines. Tyees, pitcher, K.. Anderson; catcher, T. Donnelly. On May 27 Wilson Creek vs Sechelt Cubs saw the Cubs defeated 13-5. They had one poor inning in which they allowed the Orioles 11 runs, otherwise it was a very good, game; The Sechelt Cubs this year are altogether different team from last year. This year the Indians took over, and they h Je the materials and the makings of good ball players. They have good arms and are fast around the bases, so with little more experience and good coaching, they'll be right on the top. Batteries: Orioles, pitchers, M. Crucil and R. McSavaney; catcher, H. Gaines. Cubs, -pitchers, C. Craigan andH. August, catcher F. Joe.
