SERVING THE GROWING SUNSHINE COAST Published at Gibsons, B.C. Phone 886-2622 Volume 22 Number 20, May 21, 1969. 10c per copy -: provincial department of municipal affairs. It is a five-year plan which depicts the- .path the council desires to follow. Gibsons municipal council's plan which was outlined at its last meeting will give readers an idea of the direction Gibsons council plans to follow. Ther plan as envisaged in the I960 budget projects over a five year period, to 1973, intentions of the present. council. These projections increase !by one year with each new budget outlining a perpetual five year budget. The subjects included are a matter of priority, things that will have to be done. Excluding the sewer system, a non-concurring item, until extensions are planned, the ..remainder of the items in the budget are necessities concerning existing build-' ings, fire equipment, roads, parks and beaches, harbor development and others that might become necessities from' year to year. -Y:,-Yv. The -1969 five-year budget plans to spend $3,775 on the municipal1 hall. This amount covering ^maintenance, furniture and equipment is not likely to be above normal requirements. All of this amount will come from the -general revenue fund. No added taxation is required. For the firehall and equipment $5,00(> will be allotted, hall to the firehall and.--half\"to equipment,spaced overthe five year ;.pej^|^.:;^Ph|s' valso\" comesout^of Y gerieraHrevenue. \"'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD On roads $126,900 has -been projected spending roughly at the rate of $25,000 a year. There is a govermmerit grant of $10,300 which could be expanded accord- in to government intentions.

This money would come from general,revenue. Possibilities of property acquisition which willi arise if a sewage treatment plant is required. The sum of $45,155 is at lotted, with $33,665 from revenue and $11,500 from' capital reserve This would be used year by year ranging from $5,000 to $10,000. Harbor development and1 planning calls for $25,949 from revenue spent at the rate of about $5,000 annually. The sewer system already bud- etted is also part of the five year budget and will be financed through borrowing to the extent of $425,000 plus $40,000 from general revenue, totalling $465,- 000. Subtracting the sewer cost of $465,000 from the total budget leaves $229,670 for the general five year budget which would average about $45,933 a year. By comparison the 1969 capital budget shows $40,000 plus on expenditure covering about the same things. If one wonders where this money is coming from, the five year budget shows general revenue at$38,679 for 1969 increas- in to $61,320 by 1973 making a general revenue total of $247,879 in the five year .period which is $20,000 more than the expenditures projected in the five/ year budget. .. -_ ; ._ -'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD;---.- - Sewer costs will be handled by loan as required.

Referendum explained A new referendum, No. 10, being prepared by the board of school trustees includes- a recommendation that a -new secondary school be built at Sechelt for Grades 8 to 12. The purpose of the new school will fee to serve students between Hall Road, Roberts Creek and Pender Harbour. Grades 8- 10 students between Hall Road and West Sechelt will be eligible, to attend, as will Grades 11-12 students who live from Hall Road to Pender Harbour. Enrolmen* projections for the area indicate that by 1970 there will be 300 students> who could attend the new school. By 1973 there, will be approximately 400. The school will have the ability to enlarge to 600 students. The reasons for the selection of the Sechelt area were: ' 1. Enough students living in the area described above to build a secondary school; and offer suitable subjects. \" ' 2. Students from Pender Har bour could attend, giving them a wider choice of subjects and a chance at wider horizons. 3. A junior secondary school would be too smairto start a suitable school. The buildings required for a junior secondary school are almost the same as required for a senior secondary school. The interchange of students at the senior level between Elphinstone Secondary and \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Sechelt Secondary will prevent expensive duplication of courses. Courses with- small enrolments would'be offered at only one of the schools. An additional advantage of the secondary school will be its community use \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD roller skating, little theatre, keep fit and adult education. The building of the new secondary school at Sechelt is dependent on the approval of the referendum by the provincial government and its passage by the taxpayers of the district. meeting unacceptable Objectors to seek further official help MAY QUEEN CINDY STEELE reads her proclamation.

Scout leaders chosen ins water meeting On May 17, the annual meeting of the recently incorporated Hop kins Landing Waterworks' District was held. The board of trustees under chairmanship' of David Fyles was commended for the development and completion of the new water system servicing D.L. 911 and 1402. Supply of water in one day over the weekend was in excess of 25,000 gallons. The present board of trustees consists of David Fyles, manager, Dan Wheeler, Bill Douglas, George Hopkins and Ray Chamberlin. The secretary is Gloria Fyles. Toll and. tax notices will month.

Dennis Morgan. Most of these people have put many years of service on the Gibsons Group committee, and are continuing to use their combined efforts to maintain Scouting in this area. NEW PARKING AREA Gibsons council at its last meeting complimented Charles Mandelkau of Shell Service station on his efforts to increase parking space in the centre of Gibsons. Mr. Mandelkau is clearing brush off the lot on School road opposite the Harris Block. It is expected that when ready it will hold between 20 and 30 cars. APPOINTEE LIKELY The School board, following the resignation of Trustee Norman Hough, representing Gibsons rural area, expects that there will) be a government appointee to fill the remaining portion of Mr. Hough's term to the end of this year. Feeling they have suffered further frustration as the result of the Pollution board hearing held in Gibsons Legion hall on Wednesday of last week, Gower Point Property Owners association has decided to seek other means of getting their case before the right\" governmental board. Fred Corley, president of the association intends to approach Hon. Isable Dawson to see what can be done. It was through Hon. Mrs. Dawson's efforts that the hearing was held on Wednesday. Government officials who attended the hearing were F. S. McKinnon, forestry deputy minister; V. Raugsept, water department; W. G. Peck, mines department and J. Allin, agriculture. Mr. McKinnon was chairman. He is also chairman of the Pollution Control board. At the outset he informed the meeting that the hearing would not consider arguments against the Gibsons sewage disposal application. What he wanted was ideas from what they had to say so he could get the benefit of advice and experience from this neighborhood. He gave speakers a three minute limit. Four briefs were presented, one from the Gower Point Property Owners association, another -from Gibsons Rod and Gun club; one from Mrs. F. MpOTcroiflYandj^l-e^u^ t from - Mr. and Mrs. Frank West. They were read out publicly before being handed over. (Copies of the briefs will be found on Page two and three of this issue). Mrs. G. Mallard, who spoke, representing the Society for Pollution and Environment Control of Coquitlam informed the local people that her organization was behind them 108 percent. Raymond Hill of Gower Point area challenged the assumption that deep water sewage would not rise. Don Cruickshanks of Gibsons advised that something be done or we will have no fish. The chairman inquired as to whether there had been any investigation of the tidal flow but the concensus of the meeting was that should be a matter for governmental authorities to consider. The flow of the Fraser current towards the Sunshine Coast was brought up. Mrs. G. E. Webb discussed disposal systems of other places and asked why it could not be done here. The main problem was cost. D. J. McLean, Grantham Property Owners association said the water of the area was already polluted beyond an acceptable amount and larger communities have created this. The situation, he said, called for help from other areas. Ewart McMynn pointed out that three beaches in the Vancouver area had suffered and it was hat necessary to go into details about them here \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD but the same thing could happen here. A dozen members of a grade _il at-Ii__phi^ ed the hearing with thier \"teacher, Harry Turner. Wolfgang Buchhorn and Len Martin also of grade 11 attended with a tape recorder to tape the proceedings A glorious day! With close to 30 floats, two bands, aeroplanes zooming overhead and the finest of Sunshine Coast weather, Sechelt's 21st May Day celebration Monday drew\" at least 2,000 persons from near and far. Terry Rodway was chairman. The parade with George Eberle as marshall and the platform events with George Hopkins at the mike, were well controlled by officials in charge. Winners of the float competitions were: Commercial, Campbell's Variety Store; private, Madeira Park Hawaiian with Hon. Isabel Dawson, one of the natives; clubs and organizations Elphinstone Secondary School band; best bike, Mark White and best walking, Robin Hood and his merry gang; comic, Lions club members. Parade judges were Don Douglas, Rudy Crucil, Mrs. Ann Kurluk and Mrs. Audrey Benner. In Hackett Park under the watchful eye of Mrs. Jack Redman, chairman, the ceremonials leading to the crowning of Queen Cindy Steele were performed. To the accompaniment of Elphinstone band music they approached the platform where drummers of the Indian band banged out their salvo greetings. Cindy's father, Mr. L. Steele was her escort with Lynn Bullis and Vicky Fearnley as attendants. Retiring Queen Karen Spencer escorted by her father had Nancy Stroshein as attendant. Flower girls were, from Sechelt, Sharon Nelson, Bonnie Janiewick, Sharon Hall and Lori Ritter; from West Sechelt, Diane Kelly and Rosalind Egan, and from Davis Bay, Gail Thomas and Kim Bryson. Kevin August was the smartly attired gift bearer. Pender Harbour's Queen Ann (Miss Crichton), Reserve Princess Geraldine (Miss Joe), Gibsons Queen Lee (Miss Wiren) had Jack Nelson, Lions club president as their escort. Acting' Mayor Morgan Thompson escorted Mrs. Charlotte Jackson to the stand then welcomed those congregated to take part in the day's events. Then Queen Karen passed her crown over to new Queen Cindy. The two bands performed, the one standing and the other countermarching and West Sechelt school girls provided a dance followed by a square dance group. May Queens were banquetted at the Peninsula Drive In at about 5 p.m. and then they attended the May Queen's Ball in the Legion hall DEATHS BLOMGREN \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Suddenly May 18, 1969, Edward Blomgren, age 27 of Roberts Creek, B.C.

When the chairman of the polution hearing in Gibsons Legion hall last Wednesday informed the audience that the inquiry was not for the purpose of discussing a specific Gibsons problem but rather to look into the wider field of general pollution, he took considerable steani out of the day's proceedings. Those persons who had prepared briefs felt let down. However \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe notice of the hearing as published in the Coast News reads as follows: that the \"chairman of the Pollution Control board will conduct an inquiry into pollution control matters relative to waters of the Strait of Georgia in the Gibsons Landing-lSechelt area which lie within the boundaries of the Sunshine Coast Regional District.\" Outside of the fact it is about time government officials caught up with events such as the more than a year old change of the name from' Gibsons Landing to Gibsons, the notice of inquiry is couched in terms that are specifically unspecific. Perhaps because Gibsons use of the waters of the strait is not a fact, it cannot at this time be regarded as a pollution menace. This might be a neat point and one which cannot be denied. Perhaps in the mind of the chairman an inquiry into pollution control matters does not include possibilities that might arise. However the appetite of Gower Point people has been whetted even more than it was before the inquiry was called. Their minds are still full of the probabilities the inquiry carefully avoided. A siphoning-off process Federal Finance Minister Benson has a budget he will present to Parliament shortly and it is likely there will be an increase in taxation. People who follow the trend of economics can hardly come to any other conclusion. The time is ripe for the government to stem' the inflationary movement. If we take a look at the last war inflationary situation and note that then as now, continued rising prices create a similarly serious situation with no visible sign of a slowup it becomes obvious that something must be done. The two situations are comparable only in the. living costs index figures. There was a war on then and the situation was getting\"'out Of control. Today there is no war but the situation could get out of hand. During the last war in the effort to curb inflation there was a considerable siphoning off of personal and corporation income by -federal authorities. It could be that this method of slowing up an inflationary spiral might again become policy. To have to face price and wage controls is something the general public will not like. Administration costs plus needed subsidies will run high and unless blanket coverage is applied the headaches will.be numerous. So we must expect that Mr. Benson may do some (siphoning off of our spending money. Perhaps he may take a bite out of the credit business. The size of the mortgage figure for the future is vast. We might find cash buying will save money! Coast News 5-10-20 YEARS AGO FIVE YEARS AGO Fire destroyed the Malaspina Riding and Guest Ranch in vicinity of Kleindale road at Pender Harbor. Another fire destroyed the Wilson Creek home of Henry Gilbertson. On May 30 Roberts Creek hall had completed 30 years of service to the community. The hall, started in 1932 became a reality in 1934. Ten of 15 Sechelt May Day Queens, dating back to 1949 took part in the May Day event again. Five of them were now -married. Councillor Sam Dawe, to correct misleading information, reported to Sechelt's council that $4,505 in cash had been spent on Hackett Park since 1958. This did not include volunteer work. 10 YEARS AGO The school board commented regretfully on the small vote which passed the $211,100 referendum for added accommodation at four schools. The total vote was 562 for and 161 against. Health authorities examining Gibsons water which was described as smelly with a disagreeable taste, traced the blame to algea at the reservoir. Port Mellon's Community club has sent a petition to Victoria asking that the road to Squamish be started. Some $20,000 was spent on provincial 1959 Centennial projects and celebrations. Local people provided $14,000 and the provincial government $6,000. 20 YEARS AGO Selma Park residents maintain that if the 20 mph speed limit over their dirt road was observed there would be less dust raised. In spite of protests the deputy minister of lands has granted an extension of the lease to loggers of Gibsons area to use the Headlands dumping ground. Sechelt Motor Transport summer schedule showed a service from Wakefield Inn to Gibsons, tying in the ferry sailings, with an interlocking service as far as Garden Bay. Irvine's Landing people have asked the school board to explain who can vote on the school referendum as it is the first such votes the district has had. \"How do you feel about commas and all that jazz?\" This brief is submitted by the Gower Point Property Owners' Association. The association, with approximately 100 members, represents the residents of an area extending from the western boundary of the Village of Gibsons to the end of the Gower Point Road, about three miles along the waterfront, and about a quarter of a mile inland. The Association presents for your consideration the following points. 1. We agree that the Village of Gibsons urgently needs a sewer system. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD 2. Nevertheless, we wish to raise this question: can it be guaranteed that the proposed system will not have an adverse effect On the sport fishing of the area adjoining Gospel Rock, Salmon Rock, Gower Point and Shoal Channel? The proposed sewer outfall will be discharging a stream of water containing finely-divided sewage solids, chlorine, detergents, soap, amonia, oils and other wastes. The solids are expected to settle . to the bottom. What effect will they have on- the bottom-feeding fish and shellfish of this area? The non-solids will be dissipated in the surrounding waters. What effect will they have on the important salmon runs that pass through this immediate area? We would point out that this fishing resource is of great economic importance to the whole Sunshine Coast region. In the village, of Gibsons, boat rentals and the sale of tackle, bait and fishing equipment are dependent to a large extent on the continued abundance of fish. The\" reputation of the Gospel Rock area for fishing attracts many tourists and summer residents to the area; it is in part responsible for the high land values in the Gibsons and Gower Point district. Can we be absolutely sure that this sewer system will not, in five years' time, or ten years' time, jeopardize this valuable natural resource? \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \" V- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD -jc * t 3. We accept the engineer's assurance' that the proposed system will not, in its initial stage, .pollute the shoreline of this area, in the sense that it is riot expected to deposit on the beaches recognizeable masses of sewage solids, or noticeably to befoul the surface water, and so discourage children and adults from swimming in the sea. Nevertheless, we would point out that the outflow from the sewer system cannot be expected . to remain at its initial volume. Development of Gibsons has for some time been restricted by the absence of sewers and by shortage of water. With these limitations overcome, house and apartment building, and commercial development, will rapidly increase. Not only will the existing land area be more fully utilized but new land may be created. A scheme has been under consideration for building in the bay at Gibsons artificial islands, on which apartments, houses and commercial premises are to be erected. * * * . Let it be made clear that we do not in any way oppose the development of Gibsons Village. But we cannot overlook the fact that such development will vastly increase the discharge of any sewer system that serves the viillage. How long will it be before the increased volume of effluent does begin if,o pollute beaches and to befoul the surface water? And at that stage, how much more serious will be the effect on the fishery? When that stage is reached, what remedy will there be? Common experience in this province and elsewhere shows that once pollution becomes extensive, it can be checked only with great difficulty and great expense. Surely it is better never to let it start, even in a small way. 4. We would ask: is it not possible to construct a sewage disposal system that, right from the start would completely remove all noxious material from the outflow? hearin; Will not this policy in the long run be cheaper than the proposed method of waiting until severe pollution occurs, and then trying to check it? * We ask that these questions be icairefully considered before a decision is made in this matter. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Fred R. Corley, President, Gower Point Property Owner's Association. GIBSONS ROD & GUN CLUB A submission; of our views presented at a hearing conducted at Gibsons, B.C. on May 14, 1969, relative to a proposed sewage disposal system planned for the village of Gibsons. Over the years there has been a steady erosion of quality recreational areas, and also wildlife habitant close to urban centres, and this is due to lack of consideration when land or water is required for industrial, agricultural, or domestic use. Especially we decry the present pollution situation caused by discharge of domestic and industrial wastes into tidal and non-tidal waters' and we are all aware of the damage done and being done around the coasts and in the rivers of British Columbia. To date pollution control programs in B.C. appear to have been based on the premise that water, air, and land have a natural capacity to dispose of ; wastes and that we are required to use that capacity to its limit. The major fallacy in this premise is that no one to our knowledge has yet been able to define the so called \"safe limits\" to which this natural assimilative capacity can be exploited in meaning full terms. We read in a brief and study submitted to the village of Gib-^ sons by Mr, Martin Dayton, dated 1963 that the sewage effluent was to be untreated. In the same brief _a tidal study suggests that at certain tides effluent could reach the beaches in the Gibsons harbor and along ;.__*(_\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Shore in the vicinity of Gospel Rock and beyond. It is the opinion of the engineer in said brief that while there would be some effect on marine life at the outfall and^on the'beaches, that vsaid effects would be negligible. x # * What is negligible pollution, and in comparison with what? While we believe that the 1963 brief has been revised, efforts to obtain copies or to view the content has been without success. We can only assume that by withholding this brief from public hands that the content and study of same is somewhat secret, which seems a shame when the effect of these implemented plans could effect so many people, the fishery and our recreation environment. It might be said that a good democratic government depends upon the existence of an informed public, and the public can not be fully informed if a major' source of information is closed to them. * * * In assuming that the effluent of domestic sewage from Gibsons does meet treatment before outfall, how effective is the treatment and what is the treatment? We have heard chlorine, and to what extent does this purify? Can chlorine handle accidental spillages of oils and other wastes other than domestic sewage that finds its way from homes and light industry? Could septic tanks use chlorine and run out into open ditches? We doubt it. In the pulp mill industry we read that even they can not meet the agreed standards of effluent treatment before discharge at outfall and the most effective control standards are not only 82|% of the time, at the worst 44% of the total time. What then becomes the condition: of our beaches, and our recreation values? Assuming that the new and revised brief has been well thought out and well engineered, have tidal studies been completed by oceanographers, and has an independent study,been made by the Pollution Control board. We recognize that over the years that - Gibsons by lack of foresight and effective control has reached an intolerable situation and is ho doubt forced to seek an outlet for its domestic wastes. If Gibsons is to grow and build and expand it is no doubt true that the sewage problem must be met, but further lack of foresight will not prosper the area by pollution of its immediate recreation areas. The beach at Gospel Rock to Gower Point is all that is left and to pollute these last beaches would be folly of the worst kind. It is doubtful that Gibsons will ever be an industrial centre but , certainly its wealth will be\" measured by the recreational area that it offers to the metropolis next door. In conclusion we believe that the desirable way to control pollution in any form is to try to eliminate it at its source. Surely that is the target we should be aiming for, rather than aiming to pollute to \"safe limits.\" and then have to take expensive measures later to' correct our error* of judgment. Have we really explored the practicality of putting domestic wastes to work through one of thet various means, of land disposal being used in other parts of the world? Or are we simply rejecting these systems because we have yet to exploit the natural assimilative capacity of our water to the full? \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Peter B.

MOORCROFT With examples of devastation caused by pollution all over the world, upon this continent in particular and close at hand, the Lower Mainland of British Columbia; the proposal of the Village of Gibsons to dump their sewage off Gospel Rock would seem the ultimate in madness. With the filth caused by pollution all about the Vancouver area, Victoria and elsewhere in the province, it would appear that like these areas we too are determined to destroy our environment: as quickly as possible.

We know that the salmon catch, over this whole lower area has dropped off markedly and continues to drop. The pres= sure of increased commercial and sports fishing are undoubtedly one cause but increasing papulation with its increasing pollution of waters is even faster destroying the type of environment the salmon requires to live and reproduce to maintain itself indefinitely. Who among us relishes the thought , of swimming in water where sewage from a rapidly growing area is swirling about us. Sewage that is not only heavily chlorinated but bearing diseased wastes, spills of gasoline, oil, unknown chemicals and what else? Perhaps we humans might survive in that filth but what of our marine life, both plant and animal? .7 '-J: * * f This has always been a recreational area. Salmon Rock, Gospel Rock and Gower Point are names synonymous with fishing. For oyer half a century holidayers have been enjoying cottages and beach all along our shores. When signs begin to appear to warn us that it is unsafe for bathing and the fishing too has 'gone, what is left us? Is this area worth protecting and saving from pollution? Is this province worth protecting from further pollution? Surely the answer is yes! We have the most beautiful country in the- world and a most unique province with its varied climate and terrain its lakes and fivers and the worlds largest ocean at . our doorstep. If we do not take care 7of it' and guard its resources jealously then we shall loose these and have only ourselves to blame for man is his own worst enemy; In an age when men are rocketing about in spkce, planning trips to the moon and, we are told, technological advances have been greater in the last ten years than all the life span that has gone before surely some safe meang of disposing of human waste can be found. It would seem imperative in undertaking any project that aJl destruction it causes should be reckoned in the cost of that project. If a sewage system can not be installed to change sewage into a completely harmless material then it will be far too costly to carelessly toss it into the water where it can not be controlled and where it could well destroy resources beyond recall. All our resources are interdependent, soil, water and air. We can not go on abusing these as there is a limit to all things and limits are reached sooner than we think. Resources patiently and carefully utilized will maintain themselves., into future years. Without resources we have, nothing. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD M.

AND MRS. F. WEST May this letter serve as bur submission in your hearing re matters of the proposed sewer disposal of the. village of Gibsons. The, shortage of your notice to hold this hearing did not allow us to prepare a formal brief or to produce expert testimony on points we would like to make in objecting to the plans as they now appear. 1. There is no argument that any community of the size of Gibsons should install a sewage collection system and the village is to be supported by all inside and outside iri their endeavours. 2. The only, but very strong objection is against the proposed disposal of the collected sewage into the Strait of Georgia close to Gospel Rock for the following reasons: (a) There appears already without any local sewage a great amounlt of pollution on the beaches in the area of the proposed outfall, which seems to be caused by the northerly current from the heavily polluted waters of the Eraser River. (b) No studies, exhaustive.or otherwise, of currents on the surface or below surface in the area have been, made and submitted for scientific tests and checks to the. department of fisheries of the university of B.C. pr the fisheries research station at Nanaimo, according to information obtained by enquiries with Dr. Larkin or Dr. Waldichuck, both of whom stated that, because of complete lack of data in their files concerning our area, ho judgment whatsoever could be passed. A lot of research has been done in the vicinity of Victoria, but none on our side of the Strait of Georgia.'\"'-....',.-.' .-. ,7. *.7. * * (c) \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDNotwithstanding the ques^ taori of currents and the danger that sewage will come back from the outfall to be deposited on the beaches in the immediate vicinity, there can be hardly any doubt .that the sewage is being carried by the currents somewhere together with the chlorine added by the treatment unit, the undisolved detergents, oils greases, insecticides and . other pullutants, all a grave danger to fish and other marine life. The United Nations Food & Agricultural Organization is concerned by the increasing threat to fish stocks, when chlorine is used as an anti- pul- Coast News, May 21, 1969. 3 lutarit in waste treatment. We ' refer to bulletins issued by the F.A.Os. North American office,, citing research work on chlorin-; ation problems conducted by the \"Warsaw Agricultural Univer sity's fisheries department. It was shown that even minute quantities of chlorine, not harmful to human safety, mean certain death to. fish. (d) The effects of pollution due to sewage are accumulative and insidious over a period of time. When pollution has reached danger point, any industrial concern, causing the pollution is closed down by the authorities. But it is impossible to take the same action in case of pollution from a community's disposal plant. (e) While we understand the engineers' desire to dispose of the sewage as a matter of expediency at a point closest to the village in the Strait of Georgia, our objections also include the location of the outfall and the jeopardizing of Gospel Rock's beauty, a local attraction and scenic viewpoint. It is the only remaining area in the Gibsons vicinity, which ought, to be preserved as a public park and example of ecological environment. We would like to submit respectfully the following recommendations:. 1. As Gibsons is only one of the communities using, or planning to use, the waters of the Strait of Georgia for sewage disposal, an interdisciplinary research and planning study be initiated immediately by all concerned authorities (federal and provincial), before any further pollution of. these waters is permitted. 2. An immediate monitoring system for pollution control, as recommended by the Environmental Health Committee of the R. C. Medical Association be instituted to investigate the present level of pollution in the area, before any additional pollution is permitted. 3. Funds for pollution research and control to update the antiquated methods of sewage disposal be obtained on a regional or provincial .basis rattier thar&c only on a municipal level. The last few years have proven that primary treatment plants,' the only method of disposal within reach of municipal resources, are not any-longer adequate to cope with the increasing volume pf sewage. Other methods than dumping sewage into, rivers and coastal waters have first to be fully explored. There is. no doubt that the public is gravely concerned arid wants not only to prevent further pollution, but also to effect change in our obsolete methods of ' coping with the problem, as seen by the many \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD fA/HICNNEW/ Lean and body-hugging is the way sportswear shapes up for sprang and summer. And, in turn, cotton knits shape up as the fabric most favored for. the look. Knit-picking designers have turned to cotton as the naturally ventilated fabric, with the soft, drapeability that allows it to move with the body . . .'a quality just as essential to fashion as to comfort. As a result, you will see more cotton knits this season than ever, before. They are turning up in- striped tank tops, beach baby shirts, and tirim- body shirts ... in man-tailored culottes and supple polo dresses .... . in: short shorts and long wide- legged pants. Another reason for the spring swing to cotton knit is the great variety of colors and textures it offers. The old basic colors in knits are giving Way \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDto flamboyant and subtle combinations, and designers say cotton offers a wider range of color possibilities than any other fabric. On the bright side, the sea-v son's colors run from flame red to Bagdad gold . . . in shades that rival summer's own brilliance. More subtle are the palest of blues and toast-like neutrals. , Cotton jerseys, double knits, terry knits, boucles and lisles abound in unlimited stripe combinations, solids, and floral prints.

Derby for Auxiliary Pender Harbour's St. Mary's Hospital auxiliary at its May 14 meeting in Madeira Park Legion hall May 14 echoed the welcome by Mrs. O. Sladey, president, to Mrs. Hewitt, regional representative who in a brief talk hoped that many of the members would attend the fall convention in Vancouver. Mrs. R. Course reported on the regional conference at White Rock which she attended along with Mrs. B. Warden, at which she learned how other groups were raising funds. They also toured the Peace Arch hospital and were impressed by the care given patients, mostly elderly. Mr. A. Wagemakers, St. Mary's Hospital administrator, thanked the auxiliary by letter for a cheque covering new hos\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD- pital equipment. Another letter from the hospital society expressed' pleasure for auxiliary efforts in increasing membership in the society to more than 400. Reports were given by_ Mrs. G. Gooldrup on the co-ordinating council ' committee Mrs. R. Deene for volunteer workers and Mrs. J. Donley on the Thrift Shop. Volunteers are needed for Thrift shop work Tuesday, June 3. The Sunshine Fund and blessing jars and novelties were reported on by Mrs. R. Course and Mrs. L. Alexander, who invited volunteers to work on novelties for the fall carnival, ait her home, 2 p.m., Thurs., May 22. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Lee were given a vote of thanks for their work on the Wine and Cheese party which Mrs. Lee reported to be a financial success. The decorating committee was also given a vote of thanks. Mr. Gooldrup outlined plans for the July 5-6 fish derby with a first prize of $100 for the largest salmon plus other prizes. Entry fee willi be $2 per person. Tea convened by Mrs. West ended the meeting. At the next meeting, June 11 in Madeira Park hall, consft-tutioh revisions read to members at the meeting, will be voted on. Lockstead opposes move Donald Lockstead, NDF candidate for Mackenzie says by inviting the Japanese fishing fleet to fish dogfish, the federal government is setting a dangerous precedent, whereby, should the Russian and Portuguese fishing fleet demand the same invitation, it would be obliged to grant them the same concession. It is highly unlikely that foreign fishing fleets would confine their fishing to dogfish alone. We would probably be astounded at the number of salmon that is taken aboard these foreign trawlers every year. We have a very capable B.C. fishing fleet that is qualified to contain the dogfishsj)ppu- lation explosion, he: said. \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. If the Liberal 5 government concentrated oil increasing all species of. salmon fihgerlings and spent more money on sal than advocating the restriction of licences, we would not be confronted with poor fishing seasons, and the accompanying social and economic problems, which affect all B.C. residents in varying degrees, he added. All logging operations should be restricted within a quarter mile of spawning rivers and more fish guardians should be employed to assist the local fisheries officers, thus enabling them to perform their duti\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDs more effectively.

The travel plan is called the Young Voyageurs program. It is the second year in which the Centennial Youth Travel pro- ram., which was carried out from 1964 to 1967, has been continued under its new name. The program is sponsored by the gov ernment of Canada, which pays the travel costs, and co-ordinated by the various provincial governments. Each of the 17 groups will be made up oi 12 girls and 12 boys and will be accompanied by. two adult escorts. Seven of the units will) go to Montreal, two to Toronto, and one each to Antigonish Halifax, Hamilton, Humboldt, Saskatchewan; Ottawa, Sault Ste. Marie, Winnipeg and Woodstock, New Brunswick. British Columbia students, as well as a comparable number who will visit this province, will be billeted in private homes. A full program of activities will be arranged for the students but they will also be given some free time in which to share the everyday life of their hosts. The exchanges will take place during July and August. More bookings needed for trip Not enough-bookings have yet- been received for the bus trip to Vancouver on May 29, so the deadline for bookings has been extended a few days. Any members interested should get in touch with Mrs. Alice Batchelor or Mrs. Olive McGregor without delay. The tour will include visits to Canadian Park and Til- ford Gardens in North Vancouver, Queen Elizabeth Park and Stanley Park. At last Thursday's meeting of Branch 69, S.C.A. with First Vice-President Mrs. L. P. Hansen in the chair, members voted against accepting Canon Minto Swan's resignation as president of the branch following a meeting of the executive of which he had not been notified. Many members were reported on the sick list. Mr. Harry Hill had undergone a further opera- . tion in Shaughnessy Hospital. Also hospitalized were Miss Emma Edmunds, Mrs. Riddell, Mrs. Gray, Mr. McAllister, Mr. Lonsdale and Mr. West. Volunteers are needed to help with the tea at the next meeting of the branch, and anybody willing to help should telephone Mrs. Jack Whaites. Mrs. Hazel Evans who can always be relied on to organize a good program of entertainment, surpassed herself with a program packed with gaiety and music. Guest artists were a sweet voiced singer, Mrs. Lucille Mueller and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Arnold, two gifted musicians, who led the members in community singing. Mrs. Dorothy Stocbwell and her Sunshine Songsters were in fine form with two new songs added to their ever-growing repertoire. When teatime came, there was a big birthday cake in honor of the 80th birthday of Mrs. Z. McCrea and the 85th birthday of Mr. Jesse Enefer.

PIE R R E, M P Coast - Chilcotin Dear Mr. St.' Pierre M.P., House of Commons, Ottawa. Dear Sir: I understand that at a recent meeting of the Fisheries, committee and Mr. Brian Davies of the New Brunswick S.P.C.A. that Mr. Davies was subjected to a gruelling attack by the members of this committee re the seal hunt. I cannot understand why this was allowed as surely there is no harm in a person protesting a cruel act. I just do not know what to think of individuals who can know of any animals suffering and not try to do something about it. There were many individuals and oranizations. who wrote to your government complaining about thev cruelty of the seal hunt which means that that five- hour attack on Mr. Brian Davis was in effect an attack on all who wrote; naturally it will not be forgotten when another vot- ~ing time comes around: again. \" I would ask you Mr. St. Pierre as our representative to see that Mr. Brian Davies and those who wrote regarding this matter be not subjected to such un-gentle- manly treatment again. How do you feel about the seal hunt Mr. St. Pierre \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD is it not cruel to the baby seals and to the mothers as well? Yours sincerely, Mrs. X. Dear Mrs. X: I am a member of the committee examining Mr. Davies, who is to be called before us again. Under the circumstances I do not think it would), be proper for me to comment on the matter of his appearance. However, in answer to your closing question, other expert witnesses called, particularly Mr. Tom Hughes of the SPCA, have given evidence that, seals are being killed by the most humane method practical. Mr. Hughes testified that the methods used are less cruel than those of ordinary slaughterhouses in many of the provinces of Canada. Finally, may I say that the committee's interest is to determine whether: (a) killing methods, are humane; (b) statements, television productions and other forms of publicity on seal hunting have been factual and balanced; (c) what remedial steps, if any, should be recommended to parliament. This is a matter of no small importance since it involves nothing less than charpes of gross cruelty to animals on the A LUCKY ESCAPE Jerry Gathercole, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. R.

They are now at the Coast News. Coast News, May 21, 1969. 5 F IS H! Latest report From the Federal Dept. of Fisheries, Vancouver The report shows that fishing has been fairly slow during the last week with some improvement noted on the weekend. Killer whales have been plying the gulf off Point Grey^and nearby Sand Heads and these unwelcome spooks have a habit of hanging around. A few heavy chinooks have been taken at a number of spots on the Lower Howe Sound. Largest was a 35 pounder boated near Sunset Beach. Horseshoe Bay saw a few fish to 22 pounds taken but numbers have been few. Halkett Point gave up a couple of small ones but no indication yet of heavy fish hereabouts. Anvil Island in the upper Sound produced a 28 pounder Saturday. Outside waters have produced a few heavy fish to 19 pounds but most have been 6-7 pounds > or smaller. Moochers and troller seem to be fairing equally well. Trollers have been using herring strip-dodger combos behind 12 - 16 ounces of weight. Bluebacks normally fairly abundant in lower Howe Sound waters at this time have been conspicuous in their absence. None were reported during the checks of the sport fleet Sunday. SUNSHINE COAST \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Large schools of spawning herring are on the beaches from the Powell River Breakwater Ships to Grief Point below Westview with the result that salmon have been quite plentiful of late. The report mentions that frequent stiff westerlies have made it difficult for small boats. Medium chinooks in fair supply and the odd heavy fish have been reported at Okeover Arm in the vicinity of Sarah Point. Bluebacks are in the increase in many areas. Scotch Fir Point to Saltery Bay in Jervis Inlet provided some fair action on these small cohoes early Saturday morning. Cohoes arrived at Egmont early last week. Tuesday and Wednesday saw several boats with single limits aboard. By the weekend, fish either moved out or were off the bite. Boat checks afloat Sunday morning at Egmont counted 4 chinooks and 3 small cohoes among 7 boats. The score was a bit uneven though with the 4 chinooks weighing 31, 22 and 18 and 12 lbs. aboard one boat. Telescope Pass joining Blind Bay and Jervis Inlet saw one boat with 25 and 12 pounders Saturday morning. Another boat checked here reported nothing. ROBERTS CREEK (By MADGE NEWMAN) Matters concerning the Thrift Shop and the Co-ordinating council were discussed at length at the last Rolberts Creek Hospital Auxiliary meeting. The June meeting will' be held at the J. Forbes seaside home and will be followed by a beach party. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Fellowes have returned to their home in Vancouver after spending two weeks at their summer home here. Up for the long weekend are Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Banks who are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Harry L. Banks. All) four wiH travel south during the week to visit another Banks brother, Timothy, in Los Angeles. Mr. and Mrs. Stan Rowland are vacationing in the interior. Recent visitors to their home have been Mrs. Rowland's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Funnell, of Langley.

L. Reid, principal, Sechelt Elementary school,, a group of grade seven students visited Ernie Burnett on his houseboat and workshop at Gibsons floats, where they received valuable instruction on the carving of Indian lore. At the conclusion teachers and students were invited by the Burnetts to explore their snug quarters and examine the fine collection of completed miniature totem poles, bas relief figures and plaques, a native art form in which Burnett is a recognized international authority. This was . one . of a series of outside studies conducted by Mrs. Warn, with the object of re-awakening the love and appreciation of Indian students for their rich heritage in art, dancing and song. In this program the school was indepfcer to Clarence Joe, manager of the Sechelt bandi, who not only encouraged the project but also had given time and knowledge among Indian and white children to further an historic awareness of primitive art.

The four, TPeterY Goudie, Tony Westman, Peter Bryant and Don Shaw, have already begun discussions with Indian leaders and have set May 25 as their jump-off date. The project, they say, is to give them a greater understanding of mankind. , Westman, 22, majoring in political science, says the film is being made at the request of the Indians. \"Members of the Indian Council in Bella Coola are concerned not just with their own problems but with the problems of all Indians in Canada. They will be using us as their tool to voice this concern. They will have the last say in our production. If there is anything they dislike in our film it will be edited out,\" he said. Westman says that B.C. Airlines have offered the students, transportation to and from Bella Coola and the National Film Board is donating 2,500 feet of 16mm film. They are hoping other. sponsors will provide another 7,000 feet of film. UIC problems Q. I am now in receipt of unemployment insurance ' benefit at the dependency rate of $33 per week.

They are based on the shooting of clay targets thrown from a device known as a trap. Both Gibsons and Sechelt Rod & Gun clubs program both sports.. Both trap and skeet are organized sports with regulating national associations, formalized tournaments, and governing rules. They are shot over competitive fields of precise, constant specifications. Although both sports are followed throughout the world, their greatest popularity is in the United States. Trapshootirig dates back to 1.8th century England. Trap- shooters, usually five in number for a squad, fire from five adjacent positions in a crescent- shaped formation 16 or more yards behind the trap. Shooting is done in rotation with the person in number one position firing first and so on. Each person fires at an individual target. After each person fires five shots from a particular spot on the crescent, all move one position to the right until each has fired from all positions \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD for a total of 25 shots. The trap is concealed in a low concrete building ahead of the shooters. Clay targets are thrown out of the building at various angles unknown to the Shooter. The clay targets usually sail from 48 to 52 yards and in any direction within a 45- degree angle. A perfect score, 25 consecutive hits, is called a straight. Doubles, where two targets are thrown simultaneously, are shot from the 16-yard line. A round accounts for 25 pairs, or 50 targets. COAST NEWS WANT ADS DEADLINE, TUESDAY NOON Phone 886-2622 Blake C.
