Debt repayment took another quarter million dollars, and lesser amounts went for administration, repairs and maintenance, school buses, and other opera, tlonal costs. Langley School Board has given third and final reading to a motion to approve a 2 hundred thousand dollar debenture sale. They have also approved borrowing from the bank 90 thou- sand dollars, pending the issue and sale of debentures, as well as an additional loan from the bank of 150 thousand dollars, ponding the arrival of govern, ment grants. Langley School Board member Tommy Gleig says the cost 'sharing" formula for vocational wings being built onto secon. dary schools is no longer real istic. He recommends a study of the formula be undertaken. His recommendation refers to the plan whereby the Federal government pays 90 per cent while the local school board pays the other 10 per cent of costs, Langley School Board has .approved his recommendation that a study be made and will send their request to the Department at Victoria and also to the Fraser Valley School Trustees Association. Secretary - Treasurer Vern Mercer agrees that the formula is no longer realistic. Langley School Board has received a request from the Students Union asking for a trampoline on a cost sharing basis. Secretary of the Student Council, Lee Coleman, says her group will payhalfthe7hundred dollars needed to buy one. Secretary - Treasurer Vern Mercer says trampolines are acceptable in school gyms and reveals that Aldergrove School has one. School board members say they will consider the request. A three-mandelegationfrom the Langley Agricultural Association has been making arrangements this week with the school board to obtain the use of school property for the Langley Riding Club. Gordon Berry, Jack Lee, and council- lor i;.iljjii fiartchelte rvani a long term lease on the land so the riding club can erect some buildings and Improve t h e grounds, putting in a short track also. School board members favor the application and are prepared to undertake a 20 year deal if negotiations are approved by the Department of Education. At the present time the school board allows the agriculture group to make use of some facilities at the secondary school site, Langley school board has approvedplans of the Fort Langley improvement society for May Day celebrations. In a letter to school board, Roy Seney says the sponsoring society wants one prlnc.ss from each school and also a danc group from each. He says the May Day Committee will once again provide free admission tickets and free Ice cream for Langley school children, May Day at Fort Langley Park falls on May 23rd this year. One week later, the Lang, ley Kinsmen Club will sponsor a Sports Day for elementary schools In the district. Douglas R.

Can Tank Freight Rates Study MISSION CITY -- FraserVal- ley Milk Producers'Association members have Instructed their board of directors to make a thorough Investigation of charging arrangements for can and tank pickup and bring in a report to the 1967 annual meeting. In session at their 49th an* naul meeting in Mission City, March 24-25, some members expressed'- the belief -that the present methods of charging should be changed. ■■■■ ■■!■'" ;.:-j ALDERGROVE DAIRYMEN attending the Fraser ValleyMUkProducers' Association annual meeting at Mission City were, from the left, Arie van Diepen, August Antonsen and his son Harvey. Another resolution approved was the insistence that all cattle dealers and truckers, who must be licenced and bonded, be required to carry a suitable receipt form approved by the industry which, when completed, will properly Identify the animal. A copy of the receipt form would be available for the seller to keep as a receipt. There have been instances; of - cattle, being, lost, said the, meeting. FVMPA members want their annual meeting moved to an earlier date. They note that farmers are busy with spring chores in late March. This recommendation, and one to have annual statements out earlier for income tax preparation, have gone tothe board for consideration. Although the new federal government policy of $4 for manufacturing milk was announced on the first day of the meeting, the association membership went on record as supporting the national producers porting the national producers organizations, the Dairy Farmers of Canada, andtheCanadlan Federation of Agriculture. In their request for this price. Brackman-Ker taken over by Buckerfield's After 88 years in the Fraser Valley, the firm of "Brackman-Ker" is passing out of the milling and feed business. Announcement has been made that the old established firm has been taken over by Buckerfield's Limited. Besides feed manufacturing facilities and retail branches throughout the province, the firm owned a fertilizer plant in Langley and a large seed "'ant in New Westminster. FVMPA Sardis Plant Indispensable MISSION CITY -TheSardls utility plant Is Indispensable to the entire Lower Mainland's milk Industry. Fraser Valley Milk Producers' Association president J.C. Brannlck of Rosedale said today. Addressing members to the 49th annual meeting of the association here, Mr. Brannlck said: "The fall off of our membership is very disturbing. As members leave, production usually drops. This fact, along with much higher fluid sales over the province, causes your board concern for the Sardls' plant's efficiency." He explained that the plant "takes care of the surplus production ot the entire Lower Mainland when production Is high, and the provincial storages when production Is low." On some days In December, Mr. Brannlck said, as little as 30,000 pounds of milk was received at Sardis. On other days, Sardls handled over 400,000 pounds. Efficiency under these conditions Is difficult to attain. "To cut costs we closed down our can dump at Sardls and Burnaby, and we are taking all cans at the Pacific Milk Plant at Abbotsford. We can, however, receive cans on one side at Sardls in case of emergency," he said. Despite these problems, Mr. Brannlck said, total sales vo- Brannlck said, the total sales values tor FVMPA last year was more than $34 million, the highest In the association's history. The president said the association currently has about 1450 shippers spread throughout the * Fraser Valley. Halt ship milk in cans; the others in bulk tanks. "Our average daily shipment for 1965 was 632 pounds, up 33.9 pounds per day from 1964. Our total shipment for 1965 was 356,831,000 pounds, down 7.900,000 pounds from 1964," he said. Mr. Brannlck said the FVMPA at one time was the milk bank for just the Fraser Valley. "But now we are sending milk to almost every part of the province and have become the milk bank for B.C." Li addition to supplying chain stores throughout B.C. with the dairy products, Mr. Brannlck said the FVMPA is moving Into areas being expanded by lumber and pulp mill operations and mines, "With the present quota arrangement and the continued Increase in liquid consumption, I am sure the future of the family farm Is secure, but I am ofthe opinion that a second look should be given the man Just starting dairying. I also feel that consideration should be given to a province-wide milk marketing pool," he said. Mr. Brannlck said the board is pleased with the Milk Board's division of extra quota. "This policy will likely be carried on to next year and will so encourage production. Ontario and Quebec (who produce 70 per cent of Canada's milk), through the Dairy Farmers of Canada, are putting strong pressure on the federal government for $4 manufactured milk price. Our own manufactured prices have strengthened lately, too." Dealing with plant operations, President Brannlck said: "The Burnaby plant has helped a great deal in solving many problems. I might this plant has done everything we expected and more. In fact, it has put us three to four years ahead of our planning. "When we were planning our new plant, we had 60 per cent retail and 40 per cent wholesale)" he explained, "At pre* sent, though we have gained In retail (from door-to-door) and still have well over 50,000 customers, our wholesale takes 70 per cent of our trade with about 3,000 stores, including out-of- clty accounts. We have had to add extra storage for this increased wholesale trade." Mr. Brannlck pointed out that higher wages and generally higher costs made It necessary to raise fluid milk prices two cents a quart last November 15th. "At this point, many of our door-to-door customers went to the stores. It Is Interesting to note that while retail lost some gallonage, the wholesale increased." Mr. Brannlck briefly dealt with the Influx of new dairy packages on the B.C. market, "In the fluid alone, eight new packages have been given tothe public; from half-ounce to eight quart plastics. It has been a continual race to be competitive. This necessitates new equipment and manual work. Now practically all containers are plastic and plastic-coated paper and glass." Livestock prices at Frost's auction Bidding was kept lively at the Frost Auction livestock, by the presence of buyers from Grand Forks, Vender- hoof, Grand Prairie and Calgary. The price of veal re-" mains high, and all other divisions are steady. Springers to $252.50; springing heifers to $226; bred heifers $215; open heifers $158.50; yearling heifers $112; young heifers $96; young steers $88; young bulls $74; canner beef $106; beef $175; day old veal $25.50; medium veal $69.50; good veal $84.50 and sows to $84.50. Hew Bond Issue British Columbia has a new bond issue. Premier Bennett announced the new Issue at a special breakfast in Vancouver on Thursday, March 31. It Is for the B.C. Hydro and Power Authority. The long term issue totals $25 million at 5 3/4% interest. Mr. Bennett is very optimistic about selling the bonds and he predicts they'll all be sold in Canada. The last long term issue for B.C, Hydro and Power Authority went on sale in 1962 and the government had difficulty selling them. They were parity bonds. Your RED CROSS is + Serving JL Today ^T Ready for Tomorrow FOUNDERS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA DAVID STUART A sea captain marooned nine men on the Falkland Islands in 1810 and thereby almost scuttled the foundingofKamloops.Thls was ]ust one In a series of perils In the life of David Stuart, fur trader, explorer and adventurer. Scottish-born in 1765, Stuart came to North America before the turn ofthe century. He traded in Nova Scotia and fished off Labrador. Then in 1610 he joined thePaclflc FurCompany and, with his nephew Robert, sailed round the Horn to the Columbia River. Three times the ship sprung a leak; twice it caught fire. Then there was a feud with the captain - and David Stuart and eight others were marooned. His nephew forced the captain, at pistol point, to return for them. In 1811 Stuart was present for the foundlngof Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia. Later the same year he started up the Columbia, travelling for a time in company with the great map-maker David Thompson. Sometimes they travelled at a mile-an-hour pace between river banks populated by threatening Indians, But theytraded metal buttons for Indian friendship - and their strength for progress against the rushing current, At the end of a 600-mile journey Stuart and his companions built Fort Okanagan at the junction oftheColumbiaand Okanagan Rivers. Then witli three men Stuart went north again, wintering with the Indians at the present site of Kamloops, where another post, which was to be Fort Kamloops, was set up. Later Stuart recrossed the continent by land to Montreal in 1814. He left the fur trade in 1834 and settled in Detroit, where he died in 1853. - B.C.

Here's one for a delushious dessert that you can make in two minutes fiat—and it's called Spicy Apple Toast. Saute" a slice of bread in two tablespoons of butter or margarine and sprinkle with one teaspoon of sugar mixed with one-quarter teaspoon of cinnamon. Top the toast with one- quarter cup of hot apple sauce and eerve it right away. * * * Dear Mart Lynn, How can I keep my rubber gloves fresh and dry? Dear Reader, Put a little baking soda in them and you'll reap the benefit five- told. Baking soda helps to preserve the rubber, makes the gloves sweet, lets them slide on more easily, keeps your hands white and, since it is recommended by doctors for minor skin irritations will not harm a sut or scratch on a finger. Dear Mary Lynn, How long will a tin of baking powder ftcep its leavening power? Dear Reader, Although baking powder never "spoils in the normal Bense of the word, it does lose its ability to leaven if air or moisture is allowed to seep into the tin. For this reason, make sure that the lid of the tin is tightly screwed on before you put it back on the shelf and store the tin itself in a dry place. Baking powder has often been called The biggest little thing in baking". So little of its leavening power is needed to make so much difference to cakes, cookies and biscuits. Up unt!l 1850, cooks had to use their own homemade leavening agents—a hit and mias affair which too often resulted in catastrophe. Standard Brands, makers of Magic Baking Powder, have taken the headache out of cooking for modern homemakers. With Magic Baking Powder, a cook can be successful every time. Dear Mary Lynn, I'm having a cocktail party next month and I should like to serve something different in the way of canapes. Any suggestions? Dear Reaijer, You're very well acquainted with Shish Kebab, of course, but have you ever heard of Bread Kebab? Delicious as canapes or an unusual accompaniment to a meat and vegetables main course, Bread Kebabs are easy to make and crispy, crunchy to eat. Just cut slices of bread into one inch cubes and spread all the surfaces with butter or margarine blended with dry mustard, celery seeds and garlic salt. Toast them in the oven until they are golden brown and then thread three or four on a skewer, alternating them with tiny tomatoes, gherkins or olives for festive color. Dear Mary Lynn, When I serve hot dogs or filled rolls, the contents are spilling out. Is there any way to keep it where it belongs and not on the table or clotfies? Dear Reader, Next time hot dogs or filled rolls are served, try placing the bun in a piece of aluminum foil "or waxed paper so that the added garnish will not spill out over fingers and clothes. Seal one end of the foil or waxed paper so that the added garnish will not spill outover fingers and clothes. Seal one end of the foil or waxed paper securely and leave the other end open bo that it can be pulled back as the bun is eaten.

Police said the child was dashing across the street from the shadow of a parked car at the time of the accident. New Shape In Washington, P. C. Headquarters For Hemisphere Health — Photo hy Edwin I.oureiro, Star Studios Newest shape In Washington in a gem-like headquarters for Western Hemisphere health, whose sparkle in the city skyline is Just three-months old. Neither a box, nor a variant of It, the structure instead is round — mid crescent-formed — a dual- unit edifice made up of a 300-aeat circular council chamber, and a half-moon-fashioned secretariat ten floors tall. Catching eyes and turning heads Blnce its formal unveiling September 27, the headquarters Is new home for both the Pan American Health Organization, and regional office for Hie World Health Organization. Dedication of the headquarters for hemisphere health occurred Just two months shy of December 2, the 63rd anniversary of the world's oldest International health agency, an omipant of the new structure. It waB Western Hemisphere statesmen who gave that agency life. Back in 1902, they voted it a budget or |5,000, for aid to nations in "the destruction of mosquitoes and other vermin," and for staff — but not for an office it could call its own. A single room, 375 square feet In site for all of Its 11 employees, In a part of the Pan American Union building was (he full measure of the turn-of- the-century office. In the six decades since then however, it has changed many limes over. In 1949, the hemisphere agency became WHO'ri regional office for the Americas, ami in 1950, a specialized body of the Organization of American States. Thus the new structure Is joint headquarters of an Inter- American us well as or a United Nations health organization. This year the two organizations' combined budgets put more than $17 million into over 400 health projects throughout the continent. And their staff number close to 1,000 public health experts and other international civil servants, of whom 700 are in Latin America and 300 here — the latter housed for the first time under nno roof in a permanent home. News of the Langley & District Ministerial Association ^^todilHtt^.iet^ The ministerial meeting was ' held at the Cloverdale United Church. The ministers gathered for prayer at 9:30 a.m. Following the prayer meeting, coffee was served by the host church. The business meeting began at 10 a.m. Following the regular business procedure, a report was given by the Lord's Day Committee. The committee consisted of Rev. Maggs, Rev. Molr and Rev. Holtbee. They met with the Langley Recreational Committee In regards to activities being held on the Lord's Day. The main concern at this time was the annual "Langley Walk," The reasons for concern were: (a) The open disregard for the Lord's Day. (b) The starting hour Infringes directly with Sunday's worship services. The requests of the ministerial were: (a) To change the "Langley Walk" to a Saturday, as has been the practice In Vancouver, (b) To set the starting time at 1 p.m. to avoid Interference with the morning worship services. The first request was turned down, the reasons being that Vancouver entered 800 in their walk while Langley entered over 1,000, The difference In entries was attributed to the day of the week chosen for the walk. The second request wasturn- ed down because It takes four to five hours to complete the walk, therefore those entered last would still be on the road at dusk. The Recreation Committee, however, did extend the starting time to 1:30 p.m. and were asked to encourage people to attend church services andthen walk. A word of thanks was given to Rev. Roger Maggs for this report. ATTEND THE CHURCH OF YOUR CHOICE National Finance- Simple Arithmetic Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp's budget isa"Do-It-Your- self" effort. He has split the tax dollar in two. Half goes to cover services to people. The other half will be spent on impersonal projects. The half that covers people is returned to the provinces and the municipalities in the form of grants, along with grants to cover health and welfare and other sundry items. The other half of the tax dollar will be spent on defence, debt charges, transport works and industrial resources. personal and corporation taxes will coverallthepersonal items in the first half of the budget. While the impersonal projects will be covered by taxes on sales, liquor, tobacco and other similar means. It is a very simple method of trying to satisfy everybody who pays taxes while In effect the country stands still financially. Mr. Sharp says this type of budget will give production a chance to catch up with demand and supply by restricting the purchasing power of taxpayers^ District Statement Released Langley District's l965flnan- cail statement has been released. Municipal Clerk D.J. Double- day points out that the gross revenue last year was up $300,000 over 1964, Gross expenditure was also up in 1965 - $200,000 above the figure for the previous year. The debenture debt was reduced by $77,000, leaving a debenture debt of $1,13H,000. The tax levy was si't at Just over $1 1/2 million and 94 per cent of that amount was collected. The Provincial Home Owner Grant added an extra $54,000 to the district purso - totalling over $346,000. Culvert to Replace Bridge Installation of a new culvert near Trinity College Is being postponed pending the outcome of discussions officials plan to hold with the Department of Highways and Trinity College authorities. If they agree on a new ap- proach route to the college buildings, the new culvert will be Installed to conform to that plan. If the old approach is agreed upon, then a new large culvert will be slid under the present Butler Road Bridge. It would buttress the present structure and carry the same amount of water. Cost will be approximately $10,000. The "Hold-the-line" attitude of the new federal budget increases the payments to be made by te top 60 per cent of Canada's taxpayers, reduces the amount to be paid by the lower income group, ignores the sought after increase in Old Age Pensions, and fails to provide much in the way of inc<n- tives for Canadiansto sell more produce abroad.

The belief in the sovereignity of God's rule was expressed. He stated, "God has given us instruction on how we can live, walk and work." He also said, "The Bible not only shows us how to get to heaven but also for dally life and walk." He pointed out that Christianity Is relevant to the working class and this Includes labor unions. Guided by Scriptures, we know of the standards of employee-employer relationships. It Is not a class struggle, but a law of love. Mr. Antenldes also mentioned that the thinking of many Christians is "that the secular world needs no divine guidance." "Leave us alone In the Church and we will be happy" is the attitude of many Christians. That Christianity Is to be lived dally was his conviction. Following his report, the meeting was open for discussion. Several incidents and illustrations were given In regards to the work of CLAC in B.C.

Phone Abb. 853-1 _ THE CENTRAL FRASER VALLEY ECHO MONDAY, APRIL 4TH, 1966 HUNTER VOGEL REPORTS FROM The LEGISLATURE THE BATTLE OF BUTTLE LAKE The battle has been raging In s arena for some hours. ™~\n Important point inthecon- iversy is the possibility that ..vstern Mines,' to come into aratlon soon, may pollute P itle Lake. —tfou may want to know what ■nine is doing within Strath- ia Park. I will get to that key ;ue In a moment. An uproar was created by a f'sonal attack on Dr. Pat Nicer by Robert Strachan, leader the Opposition. Strachan had ide the flat statement that 250 ;. of copper sulphate would be posited Into Buttle Lake from > smelter operation each day. a said this would occur If the lings were impounded on land £ piped to a deep part of the r- dMr. McGeer rose to say that jpert testimony before a Spe- .4 Committee Investigating d> subject Indicated that no upper sulphate would remain Hthe tailings. tit is true that copper sulphate 8d a number of other minerals e used in the smelting pro- nss, but that it had beenestab- «jhed that the various cheml- •Is were consumed in the letting process. After McGeer had accused 'radian of misleading the Muse. Strachan rose to say lit McGeer was an interested ply. W may say that I have been 'Weal of opinions expressed " Pat McGeer, This attack, twever, was shameful and un- ^rranted. rI am sure that McGeer's .jlnions would not be influent:- by the ownership of a few ares, particularly in a matter lich involves his professional owledge, i • • • NEW POLICIES vs OLD CONTRACTS ■It happens that I am on the 11 party' Special Committee aling with the difficult sub jects of Strathcona Park, our fisheries, and also public access to crown lands and privately -owned lands. The problem we are trying to resolve in Strathcona Parti dates from 1921, at which time 88 crown land and mineral claims were established, 23 of which are in the region of Buttle Lake. Literally hundreds of properly registered claims exist in parks and many ofthesegoback a number of years. It is a case of dealing with a bad situation. From now on, only areas where there are no alienations will be designated as Class A parks. It might be pointed out that 183 new parks have been created since 1952, in addition to 8 marine parks of a specialized kind throughout the Gulf Islands. Gordon Gibson expressed an interesting opinion. He said that old mining claims should not cause too much concern. He prophesied that It would be found that only one acre In a million in any park could be profitably mined. As far as wilderness areas are concerned, Gibson questioned if one person in a thousand had walked two miles in any B.C. park. My opinion is that we have tremendous wilderness areas in remote locations for the preservation of ecology and wild life. What we need is wellcltuated readily accessible and properly developed parks within reach of populous centres. Such area parks might be from 100 acres to 5000 acres, Asa comparison, please remember that Stanley Park is 980 acres. In dealing with fisheries, we have heard numerous delegations, and studied the McMynn Report. We are In the process of preparing recommendations for the House. I shall report on this subject at an early date. THE GREAT DEBATE THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE CENTRE. This pavilion which will house the Business Development Bureau, sponsored by the Chartered Banks of Canada, is designed to atford businessmen of the world an opportunity to meet their Canadian counterparts, Each of the chartered banks will have offices in the building, which will alsu provide Expo Club, a meeting place for Canadian and world businessmen.

By MAXWELL MacRAE A recurring topic of hot debate is the Vietnam war. In particular, the presence there of American forces. The debate is not very circumspect because only one side of the issue is being presented. Usually, debate helps to clarify an issue, but to clarify this one woJd end It abruptly. It must be kept boiling on the front burner to do the Job intended - to raise doubts on the home front and weaken resistance. It was this artifice that brought defeat to France In the same part of the world. Some appropriate history Is quoted in a recent editorial in The Toronto Telegram: "By treaty, South Vietnam 11 years ago was given the right to conduct its own affairs outside the Communist empire. It has not been allowed to do so. The Communist government of North Vietnam has mounted an attempted coup de main to overthrow the administration In the sourthern half of the country and to bring it under Red domination," The United States Is In Vietnam on behalf of the freeworld, to refuse access to the south by force, and to hold out for free elections as the alternative. With her allies, she is making the refusal stick. Canada is not engaged in the fighting yet, but most people realize that our future is linked to the outcome, just as much as if we were engaged. Our lot is with the champions of freedom, whatever the future holds. In contrast with this view, a succession of individuals and organizations, Including the New Democratic Party, feel themselves impelled to make pronouncements about the conflict favorable to the Com munlsts. There is a depressing sameness about what they say. as If reading from the same text, It Is always followed by strong invitation to the Americans to get out of Vietnam Nothing is said about the step after that. Presumably, guerillas move in, but the courage to say so is lacking. At the moment the wrong crowd hold the microphone on Vietnam. These are not the voices of men with a winning cause in the space age. The majority, If silent so far, have something very different In mind. That difference is deep in our own history - in the principles of conduct our forebearers debated and settled almost a century ago. At that tlmethey were launching a nation and took time to select the foundation stones. They had opportunities to observe for themselves the effect on his own country of Abraham Lincoln's leadership and may have met the man whose massive embodiment of the same principles made them understood at the grassroots. Briefly, Lincoln recognized the validity of "your side" and "our side" in all disputes. He also recognized the presence of a side more Just than either, which men instinctively found when willing to drop the side they cherished long enough to take a look. If courage failed them in that exercise, settle- ment had to come the hard way. To Lincoln, a nation might withstand the destruction of her cities, but the destruction of her founding principles meant the end of that nation. Canada is meant to play in the same league. She too was conceived In liberty. Her his* tory was to be the history of liberty for herself and the whole world. Her course into the future is marked out for those who wish to take It. When applied specifically to Vietnam, few questions are left. We are not In favor of forcing a system down the throats of any people. We are In favor of* deciding such matters by free elections, and will abide by the result. It is not a new policy we need to find but a band of staunch citizens ready to stand behind the one we have. It Is Inevitable that Canadians should meet up with tests of what we stand for concretely among tho nations. No one knows whether we mean business, otherwise. There Is no though that freedom which faces tests of character most of the time will stay put among bitter, ambitious men. It will not. Freedom is not free as so many have believed, but must be won again in each generation. Like electricity, it cannot be stored for future use. A decided change will hit the Communist world if we succeed in getting this point across to ourselves. It may give them something to hope for, too. • • * Editor's information: In the First World War, Mr. MacRae won distinction in the development and conduct of the trench raid, which be-. came a characteristic of the Canadian Army, and was awarded the Military Cross with two bars.

However, judging irom the mail, (he subject which inter lasted most people In New Westminster Constituency was the brutality of seallne in tin- Uili or St. Lawrenci'. This has touch ih] (hi' hearts of many Canadians and I would like to devote my report lo it today. I first took up the subject in Parliament in April, l%4. and I have com limed to rulfie it to this date. Duniin the present session of Parliament, I have done so three times. After conferring or corresponding with Humane .Societies and the Minister of Fisheries, my opinion ahout sealing in the Gulf of St. Lawrence is this: Something lias been done In the Fisheries Department 10 curtail sealing cruelty . . . hut more remains to tie done. In bet, so much more remains to be done that I doubt if a meaningful reduction in cruelty can be attained, short ol stopping seal hunting. On that point I would like to quote Mr. Brian Davius. execu ttve secretary. New Brunswick SPCA: "Control or the seal hunt is completely impracticable, (-'or one thing, the seals are spread over an area of hundreds of square miles. The groups of sealers, four or five in each group, may be anything up to a mile rrom the ship, and it is simply impossible to get from group to group across the ice. "On the ship I was on, there was one Fisheries officer for about 27 sealers; some ships carry as many as 100 sealers. Under these conditions, control is impracticable during the day and'even more-soTrt night. Even' 4 B.C. Hydro announces $1.8 MILLION REDUCTION IN CAS RATES For Metropolitan Vancouver, Lower Fraser Valley and Greater Victoria This is the second decrease in natural gas rates for Metropolitan Vancouver and the lower Fraser Valley. Together with the decrease in the Greater Victoria area, it will bring total savings to gas customers since formation of B.C. Hydro to almost $3 million annually. Cumulative savings to gas customers resulting from these rate reductions will reach $7.4 million by March 31st, 1967. GENERAL GAS RATE-Metropolitan Vancouver and tower Fraser Valley One new General Gas Rate replaces three old rates—Residential, General and Large Volume. This new rate will commence with the first full month's billing after March 31st, 1966 and will be reflected in May bills. NEW GENERAL RATE . first 3 therms per mo. for J1.00 Next 42 therms per mo. @ 15c per therm Next 55 therms per mo. @ 11c per therm Next BOO therms per me. @ 8Vic per therm Next 9000 therms per mo. @ V/ic per therm All additional @ 6V4c per therm Mitt, charge SI per month Intemiptlble Service Rite: This rate applies to large users of natural gas such as manufacturing plants, refineries, hospitals and public buildings. The new reductions in this rate will bring substantial savings to major consumers.

HYDRO'S POLICY TO SUPPLY ABUNDANT LOW-COST ENERGY IN ALL THE AREAS IT SERVES Barry Mather, New Westminster Constituency ihost' regulations now in lorce are not beinu applied." As io cruelty In seal hunting. Mr. Davies .staled, when we con- fori'ftd in Ottawa: "To reach a good position for killing, the ships crash ihrminh the Ice. and many seals are killed as the ships do this. I, myself saw a young seal being crushed between the ice .iniitiie steel hull ola ship. "Many ofthe voutm seals am located on broken chunks of lee and those seals are dragged to a smooth natch of Ice before they are killed: this lengthens the killing process and also increases the terrorizing of the vomig seals. "I have no doubt whatever that many seals are kilted verj crueih indeed. Km* example, I saw one seal being beaten B.C. Hydro Announces Reductions in Gas Rates over the small of the back b> (he hunter who was killing il, 1 asked whether seals wen- still being kicked in the face, and wen- still Iwing kicked to death, and my inturmani did not dein that these things were done." Sealing has also a black economic aspect. M\ study of the situation tends me to the conviction that f'asi Coast fishermen have been exploited by Alt* companies and a few Canadian aircraft owners In order to make a quick dollar. Mr. Davles reports that Canadian fishermen whosealwork rrom J;;iO a.m. to I-' midnight, under terrible working conditions. Some dOO men are Involved and one estimate of their take is that they average only $300 B.C. Hydro gas customers will enjoy savings totalling $1.K million annually as a result of ratf reductions announced this wet*, A statement issued jointly by Hydro chairmen Dr. Cordon M. Shrum and Di -HughL.Keenley- side said the latest reductions would bring total savings togas customers from gas rate reductions since B.C. Hydro was formed in l%2 to S:J million annually, A previous reduction in gas rates was introduced in |%4. Cumulative savings to gas and electric customers resulting from rati> reductions by B.C. Hydro are expected io reach SH7.S million by March .il. I%7. Of this total, savings to gas customers will be $7,4 million. a year, or season, II may he that the cost to Canada of policing the hunt is more than the real Income of the poverty-stricken hunters involved. In my opinion there is: ia) cruelty to animals, (b) exploitation of labor, and (c) a disgrace to Canada in St. Lawrence sealing. Hydro's new rates will be effective with the first full month's billing after March 31, 1966, and will be reflected In May bills. Average annual savings for residential gas heating customers will be more than five per cent. Two-thirds of Hydro's gas heating customers have annual consumption levels ranging from 900 to 1,600 therms. A customer with an annual consumption of 1,301 to 1,400 therms, for example, would find his gas costs reduced from about $174.86 to about $165.18 for a saving of $9.68 or 5.5%. Combined annual savings from both the 1964 and 1966 gas rate reductions would be JI3.97 or about 7,H%. At other consumption levels, annual savings from the two rate reductions range from ~.2% to 9.n£„ The Hydro chairmen pointed out that the new rate program provided a simplified rate structure for Metropolitan Van. couver and the Lower Fraser Valley, with one new "general gas rate" replacing three old rates -- residential, general, and large volume. This new rate is expected to make natural gas more com* petitlve with other fuels for heating of schools, apartment buildings and similar types of buildings. Reductions ranging from 10% to Lo% will be enjoyed by this class of customer. Customers taking service under a new Interrupt'hie rate also will enjoy savings at large volumes. Under the new general rate, the first three therms per month will cost fl; the next 42therms per month will cost 15 cents per therm; the next 55 therms per month, 11 cents per thejm; the next 900 therms per month, 8 1/2 cents per therm; the next 9,000 therms per month, 7 1/2 cents per therm; and all additional therms, 6 1/2 cents per therm. Minimum charge will be $1 per month for all customers recef .'ing service under the new "general gas rate," eliminating a previous minimum charge of $1,800 per annum for large volume customers.

Mr. Burpee and Marigolds The story of the pirl who Spun straw into gold is only a fairy tale-but turning seeds into cash can be a reality if you have a "white thumb" when it comes to growing marigolds. Ten thousand dollars is being offered by the W, AiIul- burpee Co., Philadelphia, Pa., to the first person who sends them seed that will produce a pure white marigold 2% inches or more across. More than -1,000 people from all over the world have made the attempt. David Burpee, head of the 90-year -old seed house, began the search in 1955."We've really made progress since then," he said. "People are coming closer every year and 1 wouldn't be at all surprised to find myself signing that $10,000 check pretty soon." So, while money doesn't grow on trees, it may be possible to grow SI0,000 on a marigold plant in your own garden.

Comment mm®&®&* ■■■' ■■*■ m Canada Is Not Saying Much The r.?ws that the British Government has proposed a new status -- a free association with Britain - for some of the smaller islands in the Eastern Caribbean should be warmly welcomed in'canada. Trade links with Antigua, St. Kitts-Nevis.AnguiUa, Dominica, St. Vincent, St. Lucia and Grenada are Important to Can. ada. Our exports to the islands run around $5 million. They sell us $1 million worth of pro- ducts a year. The British plan might serve to bind together these small colonies which were left economically and politically adrift when the or- iglnal West Indies Federation collapsed in 1961. Jamaica and Trinidad (with Tobago) became Independent nations within the Commonwealth. Barbados is now negotiating for similar status and Premier Errol Barrow, in Toronto this week, expects no political or economic change when Independence Is granted. Under the constitution now proposed, each one of the tiny islands, several with a popula- tion of less than Hamilton, Out., and wealth far less than Hamilton's, would be self-govern. ing in all domestic matters. They would continue to receive financial support from London. Con. tinued responsibility for defence by Britain is inescapable and proper. But the islands would lose the stigma of colony. Whatever the outcome of the plan, Canada must be concerned with the islands' long-term economic future. What is Canada's policy? For years Canadians have been uttering unctuous statements on the West Indies. Our new Parliament might well take a new look at the Carib- bean. Canada does help now -■ with technical aid and scholarships. But more can and should be done to help these islands prosper. * -Financial Fost (Toronto) C J J C - Dial 850 programs Subject to Change Without Notice MONDAY 5:50 Faith and Hope I 6:00 City and Country Time I 6:15 Country Digest No. 1 j 7:15 Country Digest No. 2 > 9:05 Radio Ombudsman 11:05 Faith and Hope .11:15 City and Country Time ■12:15 Country Digest No. 3 ;i2:20 City and Country Time ; 8:00 International House 1 !
