Works superintendent for the regional board, Gordon Dixon also expressed satisfaction at tiie accord which had been reached ,and said he would get right to work towards implemen- i tation ofthe agreement. In his memo to the regional board members, Dixon said that even with the admitted deficiencies in the Gibsons system it would be a major asset to the regional system. It provides a block of users which makes the proposed large water main feasible. The cost of pumping is an ever increasing load on well systems, making Chapman Creek an even more valuable resource which should be used by all areas of the regional district. The Gibsons system could be upgraded by a planned program over a span of several years, similar to what has been done in Sechelt. The administration is already set up in Sechelt and has proven trouble free. ' Sechelt representative to the regional board, Morgan Thompson, assured the Gibsons council at the meeting held on Wednesday, June 22nd that Sechelt had been well satisfied with its tie-in with .the regional board water system. Parking Parking arid associated by-laws came in for some discussion at the meeting of the Gibsons Council held on Tuesday, June 21st. Correspondence from the firm of barristers and solicitors Campney and Murphy advised the council that delay should be implemented in the institution of a by-law governing parking since the sys-v tern which had been instituted in Kelowna had not in its present form held up in court. The letter from the solicitors said in part \"we have concerns as to the enforceability of the existing by-law in the Village of Gibsons on the basis of its present drafting and we might be well advised to wait the filing of the new. by-law of the City of Kelowna to acertain the format that has been adopted by that municipality.'' the action of the tide and it eventually took three tues acting in concert to get her safely to dock.

The upcoming referendum on Sunshine Coast recreation facilities will be much more than a simple vote on the Pender Harbour swimming pool and the other items proposed under the initial five-year plan, a public meeting in Madeira Park was told Monday, June 20. \"The two mill tax this referendum establishes will go on indefinitely,\" past Recreation Commission chairman Norm Watson said in answer to a question. \"I would hope that much is clear.\" The meeting had been called jointly by the Sunshine Coast Recreation Commission, which is a branch of the regional-district, and the Pender Harbour Aquatic Committee, which is directing plans to construct a public swimming pool in the new Pender ; Harbour Secondary School. It was attended by members of the commission and Aquatic Committee head Shirley Vader, who discussed pool plans. Under current plans the pool would cost $280,000 and be financed jointly by the school board and the regional district. The district would contribute $52,000 to the initial construction under the community schools plan, which would be supplemented by $75,000 from the school board. The school board would also contribute about $5,000 annually to help offset the pool's operating deficit, which is expected to be $23,400. The remaining costs would be raised by the Recreation Commission and paid off by a 2-mill tax levied over the whole regional district, providing the referendum (to be held in the next six months) receives an overall 50.01 % majority vote. Watson told the meeting that Oops! Last week we Inadvertently gave die name of the new Regional Board Planner as Miss Harrison. It should of course have been Robyn Addison. Oar apologies to flie lady. Regional Board Chairman Harry Almond and School Board Chairman Celia Fisher affixed their signitures at the regular school board meeting last week to: the agreement which will see increasing community recreational use of schools on a joint program. The spearhead of the movement towards joint endeavour and use by the two boards was the collaboration between the two boards in the matter of the construction of the Pender Harbour Secondary School with swimming pool incorporated. At the conclusion of the signing ceremony both chairmen expressed great satisfaction at the achievement of the high measure of co-operation which has led to the joint action on the Pender Harbour School and which bodes well for future endeavours between the two boards. Individual trustees also expessed their delight at the signing of the pact. Educational Meetings Also at/ Thursday's meeting Trustees Don Douglas and Klaus Spiekermann spoke strongly in favour of continuing next year the series of educational meetings in the different; communities of the school district. \"We should continue to make ourselves ' available to the public,\" said Douglas. The board voted unanimously to continue the format instituted with such success this year. ects Secretary-Treasurer Roy Mills also reported to the board on the status of the installation of a sprinkler system at the Pender Harbour School as a means of fire protection. The design work for the project is well under way and a cost estimate should be available within a week or two. The board also agreed to install a sprinkler system in the Madeira Park Elementary School during In other school-related construction work the trustees heard that the Pratt Road School construction is proceeding smoothly and on schedule. No decision has been made as yet on the choice of a site for the new Bowen Island School. The school trustees agreed that sofrie consultation with the people of Bowen Island should take place as was the case prior to the construction of Chatelech Secondary School in Sechelt. A tentative date of July 12th was set for such a meeting on Bowen Island. Chatelech praised In connection with Chatelech Secondary School the trustees heard high praise for the staff of that particular: school in a letter written by Mr. R.W. Thomas of Sechelt, Mr. Thomas concluded his missive with the words: \"Mr. Hawse and the teachers of Chatelech deserve a pat on the back and our thanks for a job well done. Mr. Denley the renovation work to-be done ;^ andthe^schbol; board deserve there this summet^^^':i^ on our behalf. If these same standards are applied to the staffing and operation of the new Pender Harbour School, you will have another reason to be proud. You will also present a ''tough act to follow\" for future school boards.\" In keeping with its apparent policy of consulting the public, the school board - principally Trustees Douglas and Spiekermann - have been circulating with a questionnaire designed to elicit reaction from the communities of the Sunshine Coast concerning the efficacy of the work of School Superintendent John Denley. It was agreed that the said questionnaire should be - circulated by the newspapers and it is included elsewhere within these pages. Those members of the public interested in having some input in this matter should send the completed questionnaire to School District #46, P.O. Box 220, Gibsons. Board ������ contributes Mike Bujan, Chairman of the Association for the aid of the mentally retarded was present at the board meeting to receive a cheque from School, District #46 in the amount of $30,000 to facilitate the work of the Sunshine School.

In addition to the Pender pool the plan calls for two major .works at Sechelt - a curling rink and an arts centre - a large new community hall at Roberts Creek, Continued on Page 9: Cavalcade Arrangements for Sea Cavalcade 1977 are reported well under way. Among the new events this year for which pre-registration will be required is a novice War of the Hoses. Rugby or baseball teams or any other athletic organization whose members feel that they could show the world a thing or two in a battle of the hoses can register for the new event at the Municipal Hall in Gibsons. Pre-registration is also' possible for the Long Distance Swim from Keats Island. Other familiar events will include the Pet Show, the Judging of the Poster Contest and a separate Bike and Costume Parade, all of which will be judged at Dougal Park on Saturday, August 6th, starting approximately at noon. There is evident satisfaction on the faces of both Regional Board Chairman Harry Almond and School Board Chairman Celia Fisher as they affix their signatures to the agreement made between the two boards to enter into a joint recreation program, with the first undertaking to be the construction of the Pender Harbour swimming pool. Madeira Boy to row at Henley Seventeen year-old Chris Milner from Madeira Park is among the thirty-five rowers and tennis players from Shawnigan Lake School who are heading to Europe this summer for three weeks of sports in England and three weeks of cultural touring in Europe. Chris is the stroke, of the Varsity Eight rowing team and will be stroking his crew at the world famous Royal Henley Regatta, in competition for the Queen Elizabeth Cup. The tour will include regattas against English schoolboy clubs at Huntington, Durham and Bedford. The tour left Vancouver on - June 26th and will return on August 9th. Elphie upgrading report At their meeting held on Thursday, June 23rd, the. trustees of School District #46 heard a report from school principal Don Montgomery of Elphinstone Secondary School on the upgrading of Elphinstone Secondary School building. Many of the projects had been completed or were in process of being so, reported Montgomery. Two areas of activity awaiting initiation on a priority basis were the installation of cafeteria facilities in the lunch room area of the school and the installtion of.air conditioning units in the upstairs Science wing of the school. The science area has become a 'dead air' space due to the structural changes caused by the building of the new portion of the school and trustee Don Douglas reported that he had been in that area last week and that even without students it was unbearably hot. At the conclusion of Montgomery's report on the upgrading activities Superintendent - John Denley commented that it had been \"an excellent project. Money well spent.\" The trustees thanked the Elphinstone principal for the clarity of his report and he in turn expressed appreciation for the work of Maintenance Superintendent Bob Rutter and his crew who had managed most of the projects without disrupting the educational work of the school. Negotiation In other school board business the trustees heard a report from Secretary-Treasurer Roy ��� Mills concerning the status of negotiations with Local 801 of C:U.P.E. Mills said that agreement was close and that the last meeting held had seen considerable progress towards final settlement. It is thought that the wage increase will eventually be approximately 8 percent. Delivered to EVERY address on the Sunshine Coast every Tuesday] Coast News, JUne 28,1977.

O Canada '.The federal government has launched a gaudy and expensive campaign to make us all appreciative of being Canadian. It's about as slick and fundamentally shallow as the pitch of a carnival barker. -Its purpose, of course, is to make sure at the tax payer's expense that the Liberal Party should be seen as the saviours of the country. Now this very Subject has been brilliantly treated by ,qur acknowledged liberal columnist, George Matthews, and it would be re- 'dundant and superfluous to say more on #ie subject here. Suffice to say that is 4 cynical attempt by a bankrupt party to 'retain power. The question of national 'unity is simply a straw an increasingly '.inept government is clinging to in the ;ftopes of maintaining some credible. identity. :' It is nonetheless approaching the 'one hundred and tenth anniversary of .'this gigantic country and one feels the 'need for some observations on the state of the federation. Quebec, of course, ��� is .Being portrayed as the villain of the piece. The Liberals would have us ' bleating in unison a chorus of O Canada like so many wooly minded sheep apparently in the hopes that the volume of bleating will persuade Rene Levesque to disappear. Let's take a rational look at Quebec and the Parti Quebecois if we can! and ignore the clap-trap from the federal Liberals. The Parti Quebecois came to power in last year's elections over a provincial Liberal government which was notably corrupt. They came to power promising only honest administration and with the proviso that a referendum would be placed before the people before any attempt towards separation would take place. In this it would seem to be analogous with the Social Credit party of Alberta which came to power in the thirties with radical notions of what they would do to the money supply. The radical notions went and they stayed in power for over thirty years as a notably conservative and conventional government. So, it would appear to this observer, will it prove with the Parti Quebecois? The Canadian union has only been possible because when real emergencies arise reason and the. spirit of compromise have prevailed. As the nation approaches its one hundred and tenth anniversary it can be confidently asserted that it is most probable that they will so prevail again. It is a privilege to be a Canadian; to be part of this civilized adventure in nationhood. Canada has had fearsome problems holding its vastness together since the very inception of the country. If today there is a threat to the nation it arises not from the Parti Quebecois but from the failure of either of the major parties at the federal level to rise to the challenge of government. The Liberals are cynical and corrupt; the Conservatives laughable in their ineptitude. Quebec is not the only region in Canada crying its frustration over the government of this country at the federal level. It is not the only region that wishes more control over its destiny than the present division of powers allows: Canada has real problems. They will not be solved by wrapping ourselves in the flag and mindlessly allowing a party which has shown neither the will, the resolution, nor the moral courage to govern well to hoodwink us into letting them continue on their directionless way at the helm of .the ship of state. What Canada -needs most is a decent federal government, not a tired and cynical campaign designed to discredit the men of vision and energy who are not in charge of one of our biggest provinces. Ten years ago Pierre Elliot Trudeau won the hearts of the Canadian people and single handedly saved the life of the Liberal Party. It is a monument of corruption and inefficiency he raises for himself. Credit due There were two events in the affairs _ of our Sunshine Coast last week which 7-were particularly notable for the promise ^hat they held. One was the signing of -;the agreement by the school board and 7 the regional board concerning joint com- :: munity use of schools and the other was -the agreement reached by the Gibsons ; council and the regional board to co- 7 operate in the providing of water to the 7 people they mutually serve. On both 7 occasions there was evident from all 7 parties a spirit of co-operation and com mon sense that does credit to all concerned. With such congenial common sense on the part of our governing bodies we on the Sunshine Coast can look to a future more peacefully productive than the jealousies and rivalries of yesterday allowed us.

Clayton Collection and Elphinstone Pioneer Museum. L. R. Peterson Musings John Burnside There were six of us on the Iron Creek Cavalry Expedition, as it came to be called. The object of the expedition was to shoot a bull elk and it took place in the mountains around Fernie in the Crowsr nest Pass. I'm not entirely sure what I was doing on the hunt in the first place because a hunter I am not. I have owned a rifle, mind you, and even tramped around with it in the November snows of the .Yukon ostensibly^ ; in pursuit of' m'0pse_\"whichf'T7 secretly hoped I wouldn't find and never did. I made no such pretence in the case of the Iron Creek Cavalry. I carried no rifle and had no intention of shooting anything. I think they just had a spare horse. There were four horses and six men. The master plan was devised by one William Kennedy of Fernie, an avid slaughterer of . Canadian fauna but apart from that for the most part a fine fellow, captain of the darts team and deviser of eccentric adventures. It called for two of the men to drive the truck with which we were going to transport the meat on the return journey as far as possible on the road which strug- - gled to the top of the ridge above the valley of. Iron Creek. The other four were to ride the horses to the end ofthe road, rendezvous with the truck and then were to venture into the virgin valley by means of a path known only to master strategist Kennedy. There we would find elk in abundance we were assured. Napper Jack was the owner of three of the horses. He was a Fernie product who had spent almost all his adult life as a bartender in Vancouver and returned to retire with horses in the mountains, a boyhood dream which, as is so sadly often the case, he had perhaps waited too long to fulfil. The years and the bars had taken their toll. Hank Bath delivered the coal in Fernie and was Kennedy's long suffering hunting partner, a man of dry and twinkling wit who found no joy in horses. \"Every time I get involved in a hunting trip with the ponies along something goes wrong. I either spend my time digging them out of swamps or chasing them through the bush when they run away.'\" Jack Worthington worked for B.C. Hydro and was an experienced woodsman. The last man was called Thompson and worked in the liquor store. Kennedy had been ambushed by a kamikaze moose on the eve of hunting season while driving his family and the collision had ' killed the; moose arid shattered. 3his;.eW>ow.s6]fe with Hank Bath. Napper Jack rode a hefty black mare who was to be the pack horse supreme on the return from the valley bottom, Thompson rode a wall-eyed roan, Worthington bestrode Kennedy's ancient white mare and I was aboard a rangy palomino of uncertain temperament which had run away on Kennedy a week before and left the imprint of its rear feet on his belly - none of which I was apprised of until the trip was well under way. The schedule called for an earlymorning start on the Saturday of the Labour Day Weekend, but it called in vain. Instead of being oil the Iron Creek Ridge at noon we were somewhat shakily assembling in the Kennedy living room. In fact it was at this point I joined the party. I just happened by and suddenly 'found myself conscripted. A long horse ride in the mountains, great I thought. Napper Jack was in the throes of a monstrous hangover and clutched grimly and shakily to his saddle horn and refused to let us proceed at anything faster than a walk, the consequence being that it was after seven in the evening when we found ourselves atop the ridge above Iron Creek. There we had a summit conference. The weary, saddle sore riders were unanimous in favour of making camp for the night but Captain Kennedy was adamant. \"No, no lads, load up the ponies. Forty-five minutes to the creek bottom while the light lasts then supper and an early start after the beasties in the morning.\" Hank Bath said nothing. We loaded up the horses with the camping gear and the grub and took to Kennedy's Trail. . As events took their course the party was about evenly divided. One half maintained that the trail was overgrown to the . point of impassability; the other insisted there never had been a trail there in the first place. We had, it seemed, just stepped off the: ridge when the black mare lost her\" pack to the clawing uin- -,. derbrush. 7 Swearing -softly arid .V with the sadness born of * foreknowledge Hank Bath helped Napper Jack repack her. Our progress was virtually nonexistent. If we ' were not repacking horses we were standing hopelessly in a willow thicket while the indefatigable Kennedy insisted that the trail was \"right around here somewhere\". It was a precipitous mountain ridge and it got suddenly very very dark. We were six men and four horses thrashing around in the densest brush imaginable on a mountainside in total darkness. Kennedy had one small, totally inadequate flash light and as the curses aimed at his head increased in volume and tempo so did his maniacal laughter. Napper Jack's woes were compounded by the fact that his high-heeled cowboy boots were not the footwear for mountaineering even if there had been a recognizable trail and if it had not been, pitch- black. Somewhere around one third of the way down the mountain, mind you there was no way that one could tell at the time how far along towards wherever we were, Hank Bath and Napper Jack balked at repacking the black mare one more time and made camp just where they were on the mountainside. The rest of us chose to blunder on, cold, tired, hungry, leading horses we couldn't even see in the dark down the mountainside on the Kennedy Trail. Let's leave the intrepid lads of the Iron Creek Cavalry there on the trail in the dark with one third of their number already defected and the rest in severe disrepair. We'll finish the tale of their woebegone adventures, God willing, next week. mmmmmmmm TO MERLIN think back, think way back what did you tell me that morning - with what spell you held my heart and made a flying speckled bird a hawk. flexed wings that could soar above and see the farmlands, wet brown purple green gleaming grass creased with ruddy lanes. my shadow laced across and traced the cold moist fragrance of the day. if I can feel the breath of sunlight on my hooded eyes and taste the morning on the air once more I shall not die. Slings & Arrows George Matthews by Cedar Christie ;%��:%: There are some important issues facing our country this Canada Day week. We are experiencing an extremely high rate of unemployment; energy sources are dwindling; we will soon be challenged by a de-control of inflationary policy which promises to leave workers in the public sector far behind those in the private sector. There remains the problem of protecting minority interests while assuring the greatest good for the greatest number. There are old Socreds calling for union between the United States and Canada. We have the national police force allowing its high officials to break into newspaper offices and apparently getting away with it. In the midst of all of these slowly developing and otherwise aggravating-difficulties'we' are being told' that the real problem ��� facing \" Canada is : ' 'national unity\". We are further being dictated to that this \"problem\" is so grave that poisoned water, the Mafia, greedy land developers, what's left of the environment, get rich quickers, unscrupulous builders and generally speaking the parasites and low life of our country pose no threat whatever compared to the wickedness of those who would support our French-Canadian brothers in their efforts to protect their language and culture. My friends we are being tricked, duped'and conned. The Liberal government of Canada has become so corrupted by power that they will stoop to the lowest form of political chicanery to fool the people into thinking that as soon as \"we\" can solve the \"national unity\" question then all will be well. They are very good at this kind of barnyard extravagance. So good in fact that they even have the members of the opposition mouthing the party line. Flora McDonald made a speech last week in which she made a call for national unity which must have brought a smile to the lips of our beleaguered prime minister. Even Joe Clark has been right in there with his sanctimonious non-efforts to keep us all. together. Just where did this \"national unity\" nonsense come from? Last November the people of Quebec elected the P.Q. government. While thirty or forty' percent of Quebeckers had been voting for these fellows for years, now all of a sudden they were a \"serious threat\" to the unity of this country. The largely Liberal- supporting national press jumped right in there when the P.M. pulled their strings and at a time when it was becoming obvious that Parliament was not getting the job done a new issue was invented to get our minds off reality. If you can't give the people bread then it had better be circuses and what better entertainment than to dredge up all the worst in our country; all that latent hostility, bigotry and intolerance that exists a- mong us is just the thing to keep the poor suckers away from the gates. Do you have any idea what our national government costs us? Check your income tax and multiply by several million and it might give you some idea. After paying out all that money the .-. :.. best they can do is \"national\"'' unity\". We're in big trouble.\" *'. brothers and sisters. One pro-,' vince in this country has apparen-\"/ ; try decided that if they don't \" look after themselves then no-^' body else will. Old Premief '\\ Bennet traded on that policy for;*\" years and the people kept bring- ' ing him back for more.

From the Fire* Hall Editor: Through the initiative shown by the;staff of the Sechelt Elementary School, an opportunity for the; parents and teachers in this community to become actively involved in the curriculum development and the use of school facilities is becoming a reality. The vehicle of communication concerning these areas is seen as a \"Parent Advisory Committee\" to die Sechelt Elementary School. To this point in time there has been no formal committee set up. ; This article was composed by parents who have shared these concerns and who have expressed ari enthusiasm for the community to \"become involved in the com-' munity school concept. The school and the working comriiittee is of the opinion that there is a need for direct community\", involvement in the development of school curricula. Further;, it is of the opinion that the school facilities could be put to more extensive use through community involvement in the co- ordinative planning, organizing, and supervising of the school and extra-curricular based activities. It is seen that the intention of the committee is to neither undermine nor to work independently of the school administration. Rather, its function is seen as providing the opportunity for school administrators and teachers and the community which they serve to communicate. It is hoped that the committee will reflect the feeling of parents and be able to express their major concerns. The school, on, the other hand, will have an opportunity to explain Us programmes and policies which may be of interest to the community. Some basic, potential objectives of this parent adivisory committee are developing and majrbe: 1. To be totally representative of the Sechelt Elementary district, that is attendance area. 2. ;To interpret and communicate the'needs of the school district as seen by the parents. 3. 'To understand the develop- meht and administration and teaching ofthe school curriculum. 4. ' To assist in the organization of the full' and extensive use of the school facilities to the benefit of the school district. It is hoped that representation on this committee will be forthcoming from the Sechelt school attendance area, the areas which are: Davis Bay, Selma Park, ' Indian Band, Sechelt Village, West Sechelt and Halfmoon Bay.

Dear Sirs: 7 This letter is written at the request of the Plant Accident Prevention Committee representing over five hundred employees of Canadian Forest Products Ltd., Howe Sound Pulp Division, at Port Mellon. Our purpose is to support the efforts of local groups to have an alcohol and drug abuse counselling service established on the Sunshine Coast. Specifically, we feel the area requires at least one full time counsellor. We all recognize the need for this service when serious accidents occur, but how much greater loss is there daily, in absenteeism, lowered production and family problems? We often see these problems in our daily lives without recognizing the true cause. Very often, the people most deeply involved do not realize what the problem is, nor are they aware of the assistance available to them. If, and when, the problem becomes obvious, our semi-isolation creates stumbling blocks when seeking counselling or treatment. For these reasons we urge you to give, very serious consideration . to the requests for. a counselling; service in this area. - Canadian Forest Products Ltd. Howe Sound Pulp Division R. E.

A copy of this is attached. We would appreciate it if you would publish it so that other readers may be made aware of these items. Perhaps with others writing we can have these things improved. David H. Hartman Sechelt Dear Sir: On the 10th of June 1977, I was aboard the ferry, Queen of Burnaby and noticed that she had a newstarid on board. Upon inquiring, however, I was informed that the newstand was not allowed to be opened on the'Horseshoe Bay-Langdale and return run and that it was only opened for the benefit of passengers between Horseshoe Bay and Na-. naimo. As a regular commuter, usually sailing on the Queen of New Westminster, I find this situation very unfair. It appears that the B.C. Ferry Authority has taken it upon itself to practise discrimination towards the citizens of the Sunshine Coast. We are all paying passengers and I see no reason why the newstand should not be open for the use ofthe Sunshine Coast travellers. Another situation are the differences in the food service. My wife and I had occasion to sail on the Queen of Nanaimo June 14th, 1977 and noticed that one menu was over-turned. I had noticed this also on the Queen of Burnaby. On inquiry about this, we were informed that it was the menu only for the Vancouver Island run. We also noted they provide the passengers with cups and saucers, not styrofoam cups as on regular Sunshine Coast runs. Deserts were available in attractive containers ��� again a luxury we don't have. Our entire menu was a chicken pie, served with potato chip crumbs and a salad. The balance of the menu was sandwiches and snack food; hardly classified as a dinner menu for, any traveller in the 20th Century. We, appreciate ; the fact that due to the time . element of the run it is not feasible to serve full course meals, but surely a hamburger/cheese platter, fish and chips, chili or the like could be served; hot and economically, to give the traveller a bit of variety. We would appreciate the courtesy of a reply from you on these matters. David H. Hartman Sechelt Rebuttal Herbicides Editor: Editor: My article advocating an end to school subsidies and a return to private schools and grants to students brought an interesting response from .George Matthews in \"Slings arid Arrows\" last week. He suggested a little knowledge is a. dangerous thing, and he may be right. At least my knowledge conies from 6 years at private schools and 5 at public ones. George's information about private schools seems to be based- mainly on Dickens' novels and St. Trinians. He claims he is trying to protect the confidence of the,, people in the public schools. /r-His work is cut out for him.. The strong favourable response I received to my article snow's there is obviously a serious lack of confidence in public education already. ' George claims that private schools breed elitism. But I suggested that all schools'be private (i.e. self-supporting).

Hydro spraying by Harry. Almond. Last Monday I was talking to one of the sprayers of the contractor who did the spraying last summer in our area. He said that \"they made a mistake,\" they had sprayed too soon as there was still run-off happening. With the weather we had last summer, I can understand there was a late run-off. t And now I read, \"The Hydro official tried to assure me that these smaller creeks were dry when the spraying took place, and would be dry again in a week or two.\" . ; ' Since no one seems to know know the immediate, delayed, or accumulative effect of these herbicides is on humans, this spraying must stop. Must we wait 2 or 3 generations to find out? from eliminating private schools as he would obviously like to do. But he sees nothing wrong with effectively removing the option of a private school by keeping compulsory school taxes. After being forced to pay for the public schools, how many parents can afford private school fees as well? George would rather have school boards control his children's education than \"private school twits\". I'd rather have neither; With a real choice of schools, the parents would be in. control. If a school were run by twits, I'd make sure my children went elsewhere. That's hard to do when all the schools in a district are run by the same people. As to saving money, with a private school system, the unwieldy and expensive education ministry could almost be eliminated. And who really believes government handles money better than private enterprise? Come on, George, you're in a dreamworld.

For more '. information, please write Centennial, Box 2132, Gravenhurst, Ontario, POC1GO. Cyril Fry Chairman Centennial Committee This Is the third part of a three- part series on fighting mobile home fires. Years ago - even today in some localities - the popular method of fire extinguishment utilized a straight stream with as much flow as possible. Popular theory held that the only way to completely extinguish a fire was to \"float the furniture out the front door\". This method is neither practical nor efficient. Mobile homes frequently are located in an area where the engine company must depend only on the water carried in its booster tank or a tank truck. Areas of low- pressure water supplies also may dictate that the engine company make the most efficient use of the available water and the shortest possible lay of hose. In 90 percent of mobile home fires, the fire should be fought with small lines: the booster line or the IV.-inch or 'leader' line. These lines supply sufficient water to do the job, and are easier to handle and much more maneuverable than larger hose in the compact areas of a mobile home. The most efficient fire attack utilizes an adjustable fog nozzle on a small line. Water converted to steam occupies a volume some' 1,650 times greater than its volume as a liquid. This vaporization produces not only a cooling effect, but tends to smother combustion by displacing air and combustible gases. The smaller room areas in mobile homes tend to allow steam to become more concentrated, increasing its extinguishing effectiveness. In the rooms of a mobile home, the fire fighter should use a fog' pattern of approximately 90 or 100 degrees. This produces wide coverage and, at a 100-pound nozzle pressure, provides enough turbulence to break the stream into small particles of fog that are quickly converted to steam: A smaller fog pattern of about 60 degrees gives the stream more reach down hallways. The physical layout of a mobile home makes it impractical to use a straight stream. Coverage is ��� greatly reduced and, if, the homer ��� is not' totally involved,, ,water;r* damage .co.uW.. comprise a large..,, part of the overall loss figure.

Mobile homes built in conformance to current codes make this quite easy, because standard cut-off locations are specified. The gas supply connections are located under the rear half of the home, on the \"road\" or left side of the home as viewed from the front end. The connection will be within 18 to 24 inches of the edge of the floor. If a second' supply connection is used, it will be at the A-frame or hitch at the front of the home. A tag identifying the system also will be found near the supply connection. The electrical feeder assembly will always be connected at the rear one-third portion of the home. Where.a 50-amp supply cord is connected to a box on a pole, it can be unplugged in most cases. If the service is 100 amps or higher, generally it will be run in rigid conduit and must be disconnected in the same manner as for a conventional home, normally by pulling the metering device. Furnaces, whether gas, electric, or fuel-oil fired,-generally are located in the middle one- third of both single-wide and double-wide mobile homes. If smoke hampers your ability to locate a furnace fire, this general rule of thumb can almost always lead you to the furnace.f One factor unique to mobile homes increases the probability of property damage. Zoning and planning commissions'7'and city councils usually have relagated mobile homes to outlying areas where either there is no fire protection or the protection is so distant that the response time is too long. You can't save a mobile home - or any other structure - that is fully involved when you arrive. SECHELT - 885-3277 POWELL RIVER ��� 485-2748 Vane.

THE LOGANBERRY LANCERS During my somewhat chequered career, I have never more than fleetingly entertained the idea of Military Service. Regimentation is defintely not my bag. I was once, at nineteen, almost conned into joining the Air Force by a twenty-year-man cousin but weaseled out at the last minute and ran away to the logging-camps. Since the same cousin was later involved in a tragic crash that killed the rest of the crew and crippled him for life, I don't entirely regret my choice. The woods were no bed of roses but at least you could quit if it got too hairy. My sole experience with the hup-two-three- four routine came about in 1961 when I found myself caught up in a six-week travesty called a Nuclear Survival Course. This precursor of the make- work programs so prevalent today, was a wheeze dreamed up by the Deifenbaker Government to keep the layabouts out of mischief. It involved a month and a half of quasi-Army service for which we received the lavish stipend of forty dollars per week. Several of my streetfriends and myself decided to give the thing a whirl. Actually, we had little choice. Our Social Assistance was to be cut off if we refused. One chilly October morning, we found ourselves at the Jericho Beach Base, getting inducted along with as ragtag a crew of misfits and deadbeats as can possibly be imagined. Besides the smalltime bar-hustlers like Ourselves, there were scraggly winos, a couple of pallid and sniffling junkies, several well- known fags, assorted snarly and shaggy-haired young hoods, .various shabbily-dressed Indians and the odd, neat-suited and fortyish man looking for a brief reprise of World War Two's lost ���youth and excitement. Hardly a ��iii Peter Trower SECHELT 885-3277 POWELL RIVER 485-2748 Vane. Airport 278-3941 recruiting-sargeant's dream. But the written tests were a breeze and the medical, sketchy. Most of us passed including some of the more emaciated winos. \"God help the bloody country if she ever had to defend herself with this lot!\" said someone loudly in a broad English accent. Finally came the actual swearing- in and a paranoid fantasy flashed through my head. What if this were all some elaborate scheme to con us into the regular Army? A quick glance at my fellow inductees disabused me of this notion. Next day, the actual training began. A number of winos went south that night, selling their boots to finance a little oblivion. The rest of us gamely showed up at the various hangars to which we had been assigned. My friends and I had been committed to the Signal Corps. We were all clad in itchy burlap now and looked a good deal more plausible. Finally a sargeant arrived and let us in out of the cold. Things were in a fine state of disorganization to begin with. The Reserve-Army noncoms who were supposed to be running the show, didn't seem at all sure what they were doing. Young corporals rushed about, countermanding each other's orders. Finally, they managed to take roll-call and separate us into platoons. The first week was pretty slapdash to say the least. During the drill-periods, we stumbled about in a vague approximation of marching. It was like a satire of all the boot-camp movies I'd ever seen. Outside of the middle-aged vets who fell easily back into ancient routine, we were an awkward-squad to end all awkward- squads. The corporal in charge of our platoon was a wet-behind-the- ears kid. He tried his damndest to act like a drill-instructor but his earnest commands were frequently met with ribald re- joiners. I felt rather sorry for him. The rest of our time was taken up with.classes. It was all basic Army stuff - map-reading, rifle-breakdown, first-aid and went smoother than the marching since the instructors were older CKAI> ���PfiMIHC The RAINBOW'S END Boutique Individually designed clothes ��� ��� for sale and made to order ' We will be open 11:30 - 5:30 Thursday, Friday and Saturday each week men with some air of authority. I asked one of them about the Nuclear Survival business which was the only aspect of the whole thing that held much interest for me. I was told we wouldn't be \"getting to that until the fourth week. That Friday, we took part in our first pay-parade. One by one, we marched up to receive two tens and a twenty from the bespectacled pay-master. Upon receipt of the money, we were supposed to salute, wheel smartly and return to our place in line. I got nervous, turned the wrong way, blew the salute and retreated in an agony of embarrassment. But the incident was soon forgotten as we roared downtown in our uniforms to weather the jibes of the Granville Street regulars and have our first Army-financed blowout. \"After the goof-off shennani- gans of the first weeks, we returned the following Monday to a quite-different atmosphere. Regular Army types had been brought in to replace the inept Reserve kids. Our particular instructor was a menacing-looking brute called Sergeant Murdoch, a beefy-featured man 'who came on like Ernest Borgnine at his most villainous. From that point, the drill-periods were inseparable from the real thing. With tyrannical Murdoch breathing down our necks, it was easy to forget that we were only temporary soldiers. Our marching improved markedly. Finally the fourth week rolled around and the Nuclear Survival portion of the program began. This was a good deal more interesting than the routine basics they'd fed us up to that point. The essential idea was to teach us how to rescue survivors from the rubble of an H-bombed city and somehow avoid radioactive-poisoning in the process. A simulated section of a ruined block had been constructed (or de- structed) in an open area. Thankfully, it was not radioactive. Much of our rescue-training consisted of tying volunteers to stretchers and lowering them, by means of four ropes, from a tower the approximate height of a second-story window. I did not volunteer to be a victim. One day, towards the end of the session, they marched us into a hitherto-unknown ready-room that was right out of Dr. Strangelove. A gigantic map of the Lower Mainland covered almost one entire wall. Superimposed on it were the circles of destruction that would result were a five-hundred megaton bomb to be dropped on the city centre. The distance from ground-zero to the outer fringes of fallout was awesomely vast. It was an effective object-lesson and our minds were suitably boggled. They had planned to explode a large firecracker at this point to make us jump and drive the point home even harder but the thing proved to be a dud and failed to go off. On the final day of instruction, the career-soldier who was schooling us on radioactivity, confided that the entire course was utterly futile. \"Hell, they've got the bloody cobalt bomb now! The Doomsday Machine! They start tossing those bastards around, there ain't going to be any survivors.\" A comforting thought to conjure with, for certain. Examination-time came. We pencil-chewed our way through the absurdly-simple written tests and lowered our volunteer victim from the tower with surprising efficiency. Graduation Day arrived and I don't think anyone failed. Following this, we were summarily demobbed and shooed back to the street. That was my brief fling with the Loganberry Lancers. (The name was coined by one of the newspapers in reference to the preponderance of drunks.) I think I still have the diploma someplace. It certifies me as being qualified to rescue people from radioactive rubble. , I wouldn 't want to bet on it.

Once again the implied presence of the Devil is a major factor in the movie and some of the scenes will not be to the taste of all. Close-ups of a face being hacked to pieces by a knife and a scene of ghouls feeding on Chris Sarandon's head may be difficult for the average audience to endure. The censor's warning tells us that there are many gory and frightening scenes along with some scenes of nudity and masturbation. The quality of the production is, however, high with such fine cinematic names as Jose Ferrer, Martin Balsam and John Carra- dine lending their considerable talents to the enterprise.

Play a Lone Hand Luke Short Bantam Books The last stage has left town. Down on the main street the dust has begun to settle, and the sun is setting, the colour of a gut-shot cigar. Somewhere, in the distance, an unemployed coyote howls. Two men step out onto the street, facing each other as their shadows lengthen. Their eyes squint, their whiskery faces puckering at the citrus fruit of impending violence, and their hands twitch over the low-slung sixguns on their hips. The sod- busters and their bonneted wives, the tinhorn gamblers and the fat bartenders in their greasy aprons all scurry inside. There's a-going to be trouble. A surly voice with an edge of steel rings out: \"All right, Bart. That's far enough!\" Welcome to Corazon, your standard cowtown in the days of the golden west, when men were men and women were either glad of it or they got shot. It's a nice sleepy little place. Main street. Couple of saloons, the hardware store, newspaper office, the Family Cafe and the bank. That's Sherriff Edwards over there. He's got a peaceful job here, and he aims to. keep it that way. There's Doc Miller, heading toward the saloon. And that there big fella, that's Grady Sebree. Owns the Torreon Cattle Company, biggest spread around these parts. And that tall guy with him? - The one with four pistols, two bowie knives and fangs? That there's Traff, Sebree's foreman. You thought he was the preacher, eh? Say, you're a stranger around here aren't you, stranger? Things were getting pretty good for Grady Sebree around these parts. Course he had to shoot a few homesteaders, pull up their fences, set fire to their houses and falsify the deeds to their land, but by now he was the richest hombre in the whole dadburned state. Had the whole town baffaloed too. Wouldn't nobody sneeze, 'cept they asked old Grady if it was all right. But there was one thing he didn't reckon on, and that was the no- account drifter who wandered into town that day. Giff Dixon, his name was, \"...a tall, black-Irishman with a go-to-hell look in his eyes.\" They brought, him into town in a buck- board, all shot full of holes. Nobody knew where he came from. Doc patched him up though, and when the government land surveyors came * to town, he got hisself a job with them. He seemed to take it kind of personal when a bunch of Sebree's boys kicked his head around one night. I guess that's when the trouble started. \"He was only a little taller than the ordinary man, but there was a kind of soft and bitter challenge in his long face that made a man wonder.'' You don't have to wonder for very long in Play a Lone Hand, though. By page eighty, two men have been shot in the back, one's been beaten up in a dark alley and another one's had his jaw broken with a full bottle of whiskey. By this time you've also met The Girl, the sharp- tongued but essentially lovely young typesetter for the local paper. -. And you've also riiet Sebree's mistress, the dark and fiery Sarita, whose half-Mexicari blood is a-boil with thoughts of vengeance. Throw in Mr. Welling, ' government surveyor, \"boozer and lightweight\", and! a couple of ex-gamblers who've: lost their nerve, and Cass Mur-: ray, the good clean guy who runs? the stables, and the widow Wiatt,, with her prim brick house, andl you've pretty well got the picture. Everybody knows that Sebree: has been bamboozling the government for years. Every time; someone comes to survey the land: he either shoots them, or buys them off, or both, just to make sure. But this time it looks like it's going to be different. Giff Dixon, with only \"...raw nerve and a hot, bitter need for justice\" is here to save the day. A man's got to do what a man's got to do, and if that just happens to involve hitting people, shooting them, getting kidnapped, arranging for a hired killer to shoot the villain, and lying tied up in an attic for three days, well, shucks. What's a fellar with a hot bitter need for justice to do? Well, for one thing, he's got to survive 152 pages of raw violence. Never mind that he keeps turning up at the newspaper office all covered with bruises, or that the fight scene in the bunkhouse goes on for two full pages: \"Now he crawled back to him, balled up the man's shirt in his fist and rose, yanking the rider erect. Balancing him, he swung with all his might at the man's face,\" etc. Not to worry. Giff can take it. But will he be able to expose Sebree for the doublecrossing, silver-tongued sidewinder that he really is? Can he escape the maniacal vengeance of Traff, the overweight throwback nasty? And most important, will he ever marry The Girl, and hang up his guns, and settle down somewhere to raise up a whole passle of young 'uns? Ah, the code of the west. Mind you, the dialogue isn't much. Everyone in the book is so thin- lipped they -probably have to strain their porridge through their teeth in the morning. And the women characters don't have too much depth to their personalities: the blond-haired one has a heart of gold, and the dark- haired one seems- to have the centre of her being somewhat lower down on her anatomy. After the first few pages you get the impression that everyone is wearing a cowboy had, and you suspect, rather quickly, that black or white are the only colours they come in. But action's the name of the game here, and there's plenty of it. And there's enough twists to the plot to keep you guessing for at least part of the time, arid more than enough gunplay, brawls and downright onery behaviour to keep the thing moving at a sprightly pace. It's like to take yore breath away, podner. And as we stand, leaning noncommittedly up against the feed store, watching the last rays of the sun falling on the posterior of the hero's horse, we see him riding, once more, out of town.

This con- taines large amounts- of certain types of protazoa and rotifiers which are ideal for most egg layer babies, because they are quite small. Before starting breeding egg layers, three aquariums are nec- cessary for any amount of success. One will be needed for conditioning, a second as a breeder tank and a third as' a rearing tank. The last two must be kept scupulously clean as the eggs and babies are subject to a large number of infections and infestations of fungus and parasites. Whenever it is possible,. the breeder tank should be positioned so it gets morning sunlight. With some of the varieties this is an absolute must. Many tropical fish are spawn eaters and they will consume all the eggs they spawn if not detected in time. Some of the safe methods to use, which have helped aquariusts for many years is as follows: For fish whose eggs sink, place marbles over the bottom of the tank, the eggs will fall past the marbles where the parents can't get them. For adhering type eggs, use a nylon, or other synthetic type of substance which will hang like a mop when weighted to the bottom, the eggs will adhere on or into these mops and, being transparent, will not be easily seen by the parents. For floating eggs use a mop type of synthetic fibre or plants, the eggs float into these and will not be easily seen. Once the fish have spawned, be careful for fungused or dead eggs, they can usually be easily seen as white or an opaque colour, they should be removed immediately to stop further infection. Once the eggs have hatched the babies should be protected from light for a day and they should not be fed right away. On the second day, depending on the size of the fish, they can be fed a small amount of rotifiers or protazoans, or for the bigger ones, newly hatched brine shrimp, daphnia, micro eels, or grindal worms. Partners that have spawned once successfully will usually spawn quite easily on consecutive spawnings. All of these points m'ay'help you get a start, but do not forget that God made these finny charges and therefore they will not always' obey your every wish arid command. In the few years of my experiences with fish I have been disappointed many times, but I have seen some very startling and unsuspecting things also.

Lucky Leo Lottery helps handicapped July 1, the British Columbia Lions Society for Crippled Children launches the fourth Lucky Leo Lottery to raise money for the society's programs for the handicapped: transportation, camping, accommodation; and patient care. Three previous Lucky Leo Lotteries raised $687,855. for charity with $246,424 going to commissions to selling clubs and $441,431 to the Lions programs for the disabled. \"It costs about $12,500 to operate one Easter Seal Bus a year and we have 103 buses transporting 3,000 disabled-youngsters and adults every day all over British Columbia,\" says Ralph H. Long, .Chairman of Lucky Leo Lottery IV. \"In the summertime the buses drive the kids to one of our three Easter Seal Camps for the handicapped at Winfield in the Okanagan; Squamish in the Lower Mainland and Camp Cowichan on the Island,\" says Long. Lucky Leo IV has 470 prizes with top prize of $100,000.00 to be drawn Friday, November 25 and eight Early Bird Draws for $1,000.00 to be drawn about every two weeks. Main feature of the lottery is that the purchaser can win nine times on the same ticket. After each draw,, all tickets go back into the barrel. Odds on the first Early Bird to be held in Kamloops, July 15, are especially good since it is only two weeks after sales begin. The second Early Bird will be in Courtenay July 29th and the third in Kelowna, August 19. Locations for subsequent Early Birds will be announced at a later date. Prize money for the 470 prizes total $136,800.00 including the $100,000.00 first prize, $7,500.00 second prize, $2,500.00 third prize and 9 seller's prizes of Pn the Beautiful Sunshine Coast at Gower Pom ��� Guest rooms (Breakfast Included) ��� Dining Room 886-9033 S^nleSlrbero ���~z aoe ~z ������ aoe $200.00 each.

ANN NAPIER Dear Ann: I've been two years in a new community and I've had such a difficult time making friends. I like some people but when I try to see them they seem cold and sometimes brush me off. I wonder what I am doing wrong? Alone Dear Alone: I think we've touched on this subject before. First I think you have to like yourself. When you feel self-sufficient, for instance, you have a hobby and enjoy your time with yourself, it brings you in contact with others that share that interest. Being alone lets one get to know themselves. Gardening is so soothing, just the sounds of summer, the' warm sun on your body. You are helping plants to grow and filling their needs, being in harmony with nature is very enjoyable so when you go about your life with pleasure and a smile, people are drawn to you. You put yourself on a plane to make genuine friends. First love yourseii and others will too. Dear Ann: I've been wanting to meet someone for quite a while that I could go dancing with, go to dinner and movies and have a good time with. I just don't seem to meet anyone that I have anything in common with. I've gotten so desperate I feel like running an ad in the lonely hearts column. Looking Dogwood Takeout Dear Looking: You have a common problem, but a commercial answer probably won't help - and it can be dangerous to advertise for a mate. Many a womanizer has preyed on women by romancing them, when they are in a.rosy daze, sell their belongings, get their property or bank account in his name then they are at his mercy. He has no mercy, this is a business with him. He soon disappears. The person in'question is not only lonely but broke and disappointed, maybe despairing. So join groups or take a cruise, a train ride, spend the weekend in Lund, bue never be in a hurry, have a good time and attract someone to you, be aware that all who approach you may not be sincere. Play a waiting game. Dear Ann: In a column of the past' few weeks you were listing the~con- tents of a stay young diet. Don't you find it takes a lot of time and shopping to get all the varied ingredients for that diet? Trying Dear Trying: I'm glad to hear you are trying to follow that diet. I don!t find ' it hard to shop as I live in an area that is near Gibsons. I just go to a market in Gibsons and the fish market nearby with lovely fish. The diet calls for fish 5 times a week and shell fish ,two times a week. The health food store has alfalfa seeds and.mung beans to sprout, yogurt, contents for your health bread and-many other goodies with no additives. Once you decide no more; ernpty calories, you will enjoy, a. ^dif- ferent way of cooking. ������_>., Kids. Everyone's pleasure, everyone's problem. In Gibsons the pleasures and problems are probably no different than it is anywhere else. The little guys have little league baseball, they play hockey, go to boy scout meetings, camps, etc. The Navy League has their cadet corp and in general until about age 15 or 16 there are Organized activities for young people to enjoy. j,7All;.-. of ^these ,,acfiyUies7have; ^pne thing in common. ^None of them can be made to work without discipline. ' In this permissive society discipline is a nasty word with military overtones: visions of jackboots, brass buttons and Sam Brown belts go hand in hand with brainwashing and Hitler youth; things our parents had good reason to be disillusioned with and yet discipline is essential to studies, to self-improvement and to self- respect. Very little in fact has ever been achieved without discipline. Children do not instinctively know what society expects from them, they have to be told, they have to be punished when they do wrong and rewarded when they do right. In this way we instill in them our own values. If we have no moral values of our own, our children can hardly be expected to have any either. If we do not believe in the values we expound and thereby do not live up to them ourselves our children can be expected to grow up as liars and hypocrites. As a community, children are everyone's responsibility. Those people who take time to coach little league; camp with the boy scouts and teach seamanship to navy cadets deserve a strong vote of thanks from all of us. . This Tuesday, thanks to a few dedicated people, upwards of 70 youngsters will spend the day aboard the Navy minesweepers H.M.C.S. Meramiche and H.M.C.S Thunder. Even if they learn nothing factual, the exposure to a disciplined working team will be good for them. Children are tomorrow's people but even more they are today's responsibility. Let's not rob them of their self-respect by \"giving thenfi everything we never had\". Give them a little discipline instead so that they have an anchor instead of being left adrift in a sea of indecision. Get involved; you owe it to your kids.

The Wanderers Soccer Club is having a well deserved rest until practises begin again in late July. During the next month, the club executive is making plans for the coming year and laying the foundation for the new Juvenile Soccer team to be entered in the North Vancouver, Soccer League. Graham Chapman is presently in best position to take the coaching job with the juveniles. He has a good background as he coached the Burnadettes Juvenile team in West Vancouver for three years. He has played with the Burnadette Senior Men's team and is trying out for the Wanderers team this season. Recent reference to soccer as a gentleman's game by George Matthews has spurred this brief account of the history of soccer. It all began with the Chinese about 400 B.C. Later, the Romans picked the game up where two sides, usually soldiers, tried to gain victory by forcing a ball across a line marked on the ground in the rear of their opponents. They often- played in the garrison camps in England. The Romans were known to use a human skull for a ball in their friendly kind of fighting. The English chose Shrove Tuesday in the 1100's to match school against school and village against village. Rules were ignored and \"broken heads and broken limbs were plentiful\". Soccer was banned in Middle Age England because it interfered with military training and it was sometimes too vigorous. Since 1863 when soccer became legitimized and the Football Association was created, the game has had remarkable growth. Crowds of over 100,000 are common place in Europe and South America. Penalty Shots: Future Juvenile Soccer team players are requested to get in touch with Jan de Reus at 886-2046 as soon as possible. Players are invited from Sechelt, Gibsons and Roberts Creek. Games will be played starting this fall in the West Vancouver 3rd Division on Saturdays. Wanderers are urged to continue training in preparation for some summer exhibition games and the August outdoor 5 aside tournament.

SERVING THE SUNSHINE COAST MODERATE,COST LOCAL OR DISTANT BURIALS CREMATIONS - MEMORIALS- PRE-ARRANGEMENTS D. A. Devlin Director 886-9551 1665 Seaview Gibsons West Coast apathy jeopardizes future This is the final part of a three- part series on the projected movement of oil tankers along our coast. By Howard White It is a well-publicized fact that the supertankers will be running into Cherry Point at a rate of six per month this fall. The media, acting on their own to a large degree, has done a good job of publicizing the danger. Where then is the public response? Where is the least sign among people themselves, their spokesmen or their institutions that they have apprehended the danger? The coastwise recreation industry has proven itself very responsive to the slight hardship wrought by last year's increase in ferry rates, but it has yet to be heard on the issue that faces it with complete devastation. The United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union has spoken against the tanker threat on several occasions but not in a way that would indicate it is more important to them than the latest restrictions imposed on Georgia Strait trollers or a raise for herring tendermen. The canning and packing companies, who could be bankrupted by a full- scale spill, have shown no interest in saving themselves. What is sane about any of this? Environment protection groups such as the Greenpeace Foundation have added the oilspill threat to their list of concerns ' but haven't placed the emphasis on it they have on pestering the Newfoundland seal hunt. S.P. E.C.. has given the issue top priority from the outset but theirs has been a lonely voice. In the political arena the issue has not had an effective spokesman since Liberal backbencher David Anderson used it as a stepping stone to patter leadership and oblivion several years ago. The federal government attitude is best exemplified by the External Affairs Department's two-year suppression of the National Film Board documentary Forecast for Survival, on the basis that its quite moderate anti-oilspill message could have \"negative impact on Canada-U.S. relations.\" It is always pointless to~ blame politicians for not doing what their constituents never asked them to do however, and their course only leads us back to the apathy ofthe B.C. public. It is illuminating in this regard to compare the issue here to a very similar' controversy which has arisen on the East Coast. There the plan was to establish a supertanker port at Eastport, Maine, which would have been as near the New Brunswick border as the Cherry Point port is near the B.C. border - and for much . the same reason. The Eastport project also resembled the Kitimat proposal in that part of the tanker route passed through Canadian islands in the Bay of Fundy. Public resistance to the plan in New Brunswick was swift and massive. Fishermen took boats of petitioners across the border to speak at state Bureau . of Environmental Protection hearings; a businessmens' coalition and a media information system were formed; local politicians were put under steady pressure and delegates were sent both to Ottawa and Washington. The campaign went on for over seven-years and resulted ultimately in the Department of External Affiars sending a formal note to Washington declaring that the Easport plan \"constituted unacceptable risk\" to the New Brunswick environment and access would not be granted. The Marine B.E.P. in turn made its permits to Pittston Oil Company conditional on their first \"making peace with the Canadians\", which effectively killed the Eastport refinery project last last year. The federal government which declared the Eastport tanker route \"an unacceptable risk\" is the same one which suppressed films unflattering to the Cherry Point oil port and on March 4th gave its tentative support to the immeasurably more risky tanker . route through Wright Sound to Kitimat. The difference in the two positions is the difference in the two affected populations; the one, in the West, seemingly willing to let itself be used, the other, in the East, quite definitely unwilling. The battle on the west coast is not oyer yet, although the oil companies have become entrenched to the point there can be no totally successful opposition to them. A campaign here com- Pferider recreation (cont'd) a $25,000 donation to Gibsons for its pool, and a contribution of $1,500 to the community hall at Egmont to 'help improve its heating. Total cost of the plan would be \"in the area of one million dollars.\" Watson noted that the committee had decided on the two projects in Sechelt because it is \"the central area\", this reasoning applied also to the new Roberts Creek Community Hall, which would be built on the site of the ill-fated Cliff Gilker Park. When asked who would be in charge of spending funds from the recreation tax in future and Fbr all ypur Carpets T. Sinclair 885-9327 what control local people would have over them, neither Watson nor Area 'A' Director Jack Paterson gave a clear answer. The present recreation commission grew out of local groups ' with ��� some input .vom regional director's. One questioner asked commission chairman Jack Whittaker why the commission was planning to give $25,000 for the Gibsons Village had refused to participate in the recreation commission and would not be contributing to the 2-mill tax. Watson replied that, ' 'However you cut it, the Gibsons pool is improving the recreation, picture on the ^Sunshine Coast and it.dejsej^. 7ves:Support.\" \"-...���,\"/ Another questioner asked how she could be sure the tax would not be jacked up like all the other local service taxes in the district, and Watson replied that the 2-mill ceiling could be \"absolutely guaranteed\". Asked further what would be done if it was discovered halfway through that the 2-mill tax was not enough to support'the projects, Watson said another referendum could be called to raise the tax \"or we could just shut our doors like they're doing in Powell River.\" PENINSULA ROOFING & SHEET METAL (Formerly Tuffy's Roofing) SECHELT 885-9585 RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL TAR & GRAVEL SHINGLES & SHAKES \"A COMPLETE ROOFING SERVICE\" Noting that plans to start building the combined school and pool called for a start next month, a questioner wanted to know what would become of the partly-completed pool if the referendum was turned down. Shirley Vader answered that the Aquatic Committee had, considered this and would probably seek federal grants, then try to finance the remaining cost with a specified area tax confined to the Pender Harbour-Egmont area. .Gibsons Village has done this.successfully although its tax base is less than half that of the Pender-Egmont area. \"No matter what happens, we'll get the pool,\" she said, \"Because it will be there. Once the school is built, the pool will be in it and one way or another it will get finished.\" In the meantime, she pointed out, it will still serve its function as aj water reservoir for fighting fires at the school. This.comment. led to a heated discussion oh the pool's efficacy In firefighting. One: woman suggested it would be much better to use chemicals than^ water. Fireman Barry Wiibee asked that it be understood the 60,000-gallon pool would supply pumps for only one hour, whereas the last fire had taken six hours to put out! Former school maintenance supervisor Bill Scoular said the unfortunate fact was that the pool was being used by the school board to avoid their responsibility to provide the new school with a proper water system. Mrs. Vader, who seemed to have more facts and . answers at her fingertips than anyone else at the meeting, defended the school board and said that if a water system was to be built in the Kleindale area it should probably be done by the regional district. She added that the Aquatic Committee was in favour of a sprinkling system being installed in the school, using the pool as water source.

Sechelt Real Estate Catalog* parable to that in New Brunswick, working in league with the anti- supertanker lobby in Puget Sound may once have been successful in preventing the Alaska traffic from entering Juan de Fuca Strait. Now the best compromise that could realistically be hoped for would be a location on the south side of the strait, at Port Angeles or west of Port Angeles. In dealing with the Cherry Point route, south coast protesters will not have the lever of the Eastport protesters or Kitimat protesters of controlling access to the port, but it is a tenet of natural law that no man shall knowingly foul his neighbour's property, and the U.S. has shown itself able to respect this tenet when pressured in the past, most recently in the billion-dollar Garrison Diversion project of North Dakoka, which has been halted partially because ofthe flood risk to farms in Manitoba. Changes in British Columbia law to make the oil giants themselves and not the dummy companies owning the ships responsible for oilspill damages and cleanup costs would also be very effective in helping them decide to avoid Canadian waters, as would revisions to tanker regulations to bring them up to the, level set in Puget Sound. There is still time for all of this to be done but every day that passes without action moves the job one step closer to impossible. ' The point surely is .that the B.C. coast is one of the great geographical wonders of the world. People flock here to see . it in the thousands every summer. Oceanographer Jacques Cou- steau, who is in as good a position as anyone to make the comparison, has.said Georgia Strait is the last of the planet's great inland seas left unpolluted. This coast is our sacred trust, and we could no more be excused for exposing it to ruin than the Americans could for damming the Grand Canyon or the Greeks for grinding the Acropolis up for cement. No price short of saving the human race could justify the risk our politicians are currently subjecting the coast's immense and fragile beauty for a hundred or so steady jobs and a very dubious advantage to our energy future. If we let them proceed and the consequences,befall as they surely must, then we will have no doubt leaking back^ to whether or not we were acting in our right senses.

Women's Centre A quiet struggle to keep the Women's Centre open has been waged during the past year. We have been dependent on the donations of supportive people, and on the hard work of a core group of dedicated volunteers. Financially, we survived through the spring by selling Greenpeace lottery tickets, and we are now mowing the grass in the park out front in lieu of paying rent for the summer. Several people have offered to sell used books, odds and ends and Memberships at the summer Flea Market. And our fund raising committee reports earning $200 at the Rummage Sale last week! Our volunteers, at this point have been decimated by the finding of \"paid employment\" by no less than five of us. The remaining two volunteers, having put in a lot of hard hours have decided to take a well earned vacation, and close the doors of the Women's Centre for July and August. Any woman interested in: Using the Centre for meeting or a quiet retreat for the summer; helping with a fund raising dance in August; Donating books for flea market stall; Talking about ideas for a Canada Works Grant, for employment for women; Taking a turn at mowing the grass; or information during the summer, contact Sharon Craig at 885-3182. Pender Harbour Clinic In response to a request from the Pender Harbour Health Clinic, Mrs. Brown created a garden committee of senior citizens to assist in the collection of suitable plants and shrubs to beautify the Health Clinic grounds. Mrs. Isabel Ralph will convene this committee. Mrs. Evelyn Olson reviewed the highlights of the May Convention in Vancouver. Notable speakers were U.B.C. law professor Frank Maczko, who explained legal matters important to the elderly; and Dr. Stuart Bland, a gerontology consultant, who discoursed upon healthy attitudes which should be cultivated by the elderly for physical and mental well being. Of the 50 resolutions presented to the convention, 22 were passed including Pender Harbour's resolution concerning the continuance of the Open Shelf Library in Victoria. The focus of the meeting was an explanation by R.C.M.P. Sargeant Doug Farenholtz of the programme, Neighbourhood Watch, now being organized on the peninsula in an attempt to reduce break-ins and thefts. He explained its objectives and functions and showed a film demonstrating ways in which citizens may make their houses safer from breaking and entering. U.B.C. student Vivian Evans, a personable young woman from Chilliwack, assisted Sargeant Farenholtz. Between June 21 and July 5, the Neighbourhood Watch is being introduced to all householders in the Pender Harbour area.

Church feels growth not goal For years growth has been the measuring stick of success in the Western technological world. Thetmore we produced, the more wev ^consumed and the more things we had, the better off we were. Happiness and the Gross National Product were synono- mo'us\" and the only time Canadians were ever challenged on thisKslavish devotion to technology and growth - for the two go;hand-in-hand - was occasionally from some church-pulpit when wer were reminded not to lay up treasures on earth. Even this had a faintly hollow ririg'as materialism grew. Now it appears that technological growth is almost at an end. Our earth has once again become finite. Resources, particularly fossil fuels, are running out. Despite what the technocrats (who are fast replacing democrats as the government of Canada) under 50 tell us, growth is not a natural and God-given right. J. Tuzp Wilson, director- general of \\ the Ontario Science Centre andone of Canada's best known scientists, said recently that it is*Vquite incredible that economists'and leaders of government have failed to recognize that petroleum is a limited resource that shouldbe husbanded like capital. Instead they have encouraged its squandering as income so: that now. like a rich young man who has squandered his inheritance, we must look for another way of making a living.\" Now we are being forced, perhaps too late, to recognize not only that we have squandered the earth's resources, we may well have exhausted them. Limits to growth may force us to find an economic system based on values and ethics rather than those of economics and growth. What Dr. Wilson and others are saying is what is said in the Bible. We must be stewards of the creatfon. There are limits to the land that' can be cultivated. There is a limit to fresh water . supplies. There is a limit to what heat the atmosphere can absorb. There is a limit to what pollution our environment can handle. To face the reality that our world is fragile and finite may be the first step in forcing our leaders to change their ideas and accept limits. Then we can begin, solving our problems, acknowledging that growth is not the ultimate goal for humanity. Bracewell At the recent B.C.I.T.

Homes in the Halfmoon Bay-Secret Cove and Earl's Cove-Egmont areas have been visited, and it is anticipated that the Pender Harbour area will be completed by the end of this week. Neighbourhood Watch is an R.C.M.P. sponsored program aimed ��� at reducing the rate of crimes against property in this area. An instrumental part of the program is Operation Identification, where homeowners- are encouraged to engrave their Social Insurance Number on valuable property. This type of identification is a proven deterrent to thefts and breaking and enterings. It has been very successful in other areas, and its success in this area will rise in proportion to the number of households helpful in the project. Lions volunteers have been extremely helpful in the project. The Pender Harbour Lions, organized by Mike Cashaback, have distributed a large number of the engravers. In areas where homes are most spread out, the six students employed by the project have done the legwork - and legwork it is, scrambling down long driveways to homes perched on seaside cliffs! The only real problem to date has been that a large number of people have not been at home when their home was visited. Many of these homes will be revisited. However, if your home is missed by the Neighbourhood Watch workers, do not hesitate to drop in to the Sechelt R.C.M.P. detachment, to pick up an engraver. For thirty minutes of your time you will receive a lasting method of property identification. Recent Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir has A Land of Our Own on the Biography shelf.

She had a passionate love of music and the desire to pass that love on to others, thus enriching their lives with music as she felt hers had been. -She had in abundance that quality that all great teachers must have, great patience. It was her study to impart confidence to her students, never expressing displeasure, knowing that learning is done from mistakes. Once a young musician became a pupil of Marry Brooke that musician became a member of her family of musicians. Many times she held small recitals in her home with her musicians performing for each other and relatives and friends thereby learning how to share their music with others at the same time developing confidence in themselves. It is not surprising that Mary Brooke was one of the founders of the Sunshine Coast Music Festival - an annual event which has since been expanded to become the Sunshine Coast Music, Drama, and Dance Festival. It is suggested that the most fitting way to honour the memory Mary Brooke was predeceased by her husband, Gordon L. Brooke, who died in 1975 a short time after retiring from the Meterology Department in Vancouver. She is survived by her son Gordon of Halfmoon Bay, her granddaughter Marilou Long, grandchildren Tommy 13, and Patti 18, of Richmond.. Another granddaughter, Susan aged 20, is now domiciled in New Zealand. Mary Brooke was President of the Music ��� Teachers Federation at one time, a position, at present filled by one of\" her students, Joyce Root. She played violin with the Vancouver and Winni pet sympnony companies and played the organ at Ryerson Church in Vancouver. She taught music for many years in Vancouver before moving to the Sunshine Coast. . A great teacher has left us but the love of music instilled in those fortunate enough to come into contact with her will undoubtedly be passed on, perhaps enriching the lives of. many not yet born. STA Executive Manageress Nancy Bradford, seamstress Jane May and candy maker,Susan Wolpert snip ceremonial ribbons to mark the opening of the End of the Rainbow Boutique in the centre of Roberts Creek. The next executive of the Sechelt Teachers' Association takes office officially on July 1st. The executive was elected at a meeting held last month in Pender Harbour. Elected as President for the coming year is Doris Fuller, librarian at Gibsons Elementary School. Mike Lynch is the Vice- President and Joan Robb will perform the functions of Secretary. Cheryl Douglas will be the Treasurer. Geoffrey Madoc-Jones will again be Geogtaphic Representative at the meetings of the B.C.T.F. in Vancouver and Elphinstone librarian Gary Foxall will be this year's Agreements Chairman. When contacted by the Coast News President-Elect Fuller said that she was looking forward to a fruitful and interesting year. She pointed to the fact that relations between the S.T.A. and the local board are better now than at any time in recent years and that educationally things are going relatively well in the district. One possible area'of concern that Mrs. Fuller pointed to was the possible threat of mounting unemployment among teachers of the province in the coming year. \"There would seem to be a directive from Victoria to the local school boards,'' said Fuller, \"to reduce the number of teachers. This may have the effect of raising the pupil-teacher ration within the classroom and the number of unemployed teachers outside the classroom and may be a matter of some concern.\" Sechelt Council hears zoning recommendations The Zoning Committee recom- eight inch cement blocks is re- mendations were read out at last quired, but Mr. Gray felt that due week's regular Sechelt Council to the building being temporary. meeting.

We have been dependent on the donations of supportive people, and on the hard work of a core group of dedicated volunteers. Financially, we survived through the spring by selling Greenpeace lottery tickets, and we are now mowing the grass in the park out front in lieu of paying rent for the summer. Several people have offered to sell used books, odds and ends and Memberships at the summer Flea Market. And our fund raising committee reports earning $200 at the Rummage Sale last week! Our volunteers, at this point have been decimated by the finding of \"paid employment\" by no less than five of us. The remaining two volunteers, having put in a lot of hard hours have decided to take a well earned vacation, and close the doors of the Women's Centre for July and August. Any woman interested in: Using the Centre for meeting or a quiet retreat for the summer; helping with a fund raising dance in August; Donating books for flea market stall; Talking about ideas for a Canada Works Grant, for employment for women; Taking a turn at mowing the grass; or information during the summer, contact Sharon Craig at 885-3182. Pender Harbour Clinic In response to a request from the Pender Harbour Health Clinic, Mrs. Brown created a garden committee of senior citizens to assist in the collection of suitable plants and shrubs to beautify the Health Clinic grounds. Mrs. Isabel Ralph will convene this committee. Mrs. Evelyn Olson reviewed the highlights of the May Convention in Vancouver. Notable speakers were U.B.C. law professor Frank Maczko, who explained legal matters important to the elderly; and Dr. Stuart Bland, a gerontology consultant, who discoursed upon healthy attitudes which should be cultivated by the elderly for physical and mental well being. Of the 50 resolutions presented to the convention, 22 were passed including Pender Harbour's resolution concerning the continuance of the Open Shelf Library in Victoria. The focus of the meeting was an explanation by R.C.M.P. Sargeant Doug Farenholtz of the programme, Neighbourhood Watch, now being organized on the peninsula in an attempt to reduce break-ins and thefts. He explained its objectives and functions and showed a film demonstrating ways in which citizens may make their houses safer from breaking and entering. U.B.C. student Vivian Evans, a personable young woman from Chilliwack, assisted Sargeant Farenholtz. Between June 21 and July 5, the Neighbourhood Watch is being introduced to all householders in the Pender Harbour area. Wedding shower A wedding shower was held last week for Miss Debby Fiedler at the home of Mrs. Lois McLean. The hostesses were Mrs. Cathy Mandelkau and Mrs. McLean. Guests present at the shower included Mrs. Elsie Earls, Mrs. Mary Strom, Mrs. Mary Solnick, Mrs. Eve Harris, Mrs. Edit Mrs. Eve Harris, Mrs. Edie Mason, Mrs. Lily Hammond, Mrs. Doreen Crosby, Mrs. Agnes Johnson, Mrs. Mary McBride, Mrs. Diane B irs tens, Mrs. Shirley Peters, Mrs. Wendy Fiedler, Mrs. Fay Fiedler, Mrs. Ivy Fiedler and Miss Terri Fiedler. Guests unable to attend were Mrs. Athalie McKie, Miss Barbara Roberts and Miss Maria Schneider. Neighbourhood Watch Library Church feels growth not goal For years growth has been the measuring stick of success in the Western technological world. The!more we produced, the more wer ^consumed and the more things we had, the better off we were.. Happiness and the Gross National Product were synono- mo'us\" and the only time Canadians were ever challenged on this^slavish devotion to technology and growth - for the two go;hand-in-hand - was occasionally from some church-pulpit when wer were reminded not to lay up treasures on earth. Even this had a faintly hollow ririg'as materialism grew. Now it appears that technological growth is almost at an end. Our earth has once again become finite. Resources, particularly fossil fuels, are running out. Despite what the technocrats (who are fast replacing democrats as the government of Canada) under 50 tell us, growth is not a natural and God-given right. J. Tuzp Wilson, director- general cki the Ontario Science Centre and one of Canada's best known scientists, said recently that it is*';'quite incredible that economists'and leaders of government have failed to recognize that petroleum is a limited resource that should be husbanded like capital. Instead they have encouraged its squandering as income sjS'that now. like a rich young man who has squandered his inheritance, we must look for another wky of making a living.\" Now we are being forced, perhaps too late, to recognize not only that we have squandered the earth's resources, we may well have exhausted them. Limits to growth may force us to find an economic system based on values and ethics rather than those of economics and growth. What Dr. Wilson and others are saying is what is said in the Bible. We must be stewards of the creatfon. There are limits to the land that' can be cultivated. There is a limit to fresh water . supplies. There is a limit to what heat the atmosphere can absorb. There is a limit to what pollution our environment can handle. To face the reality that our world is fragile and finite may be the first step in forcing our leaders to change their ideas and accept limits. Then we can begin, solving our problems, acknowledging that growth is not the ultimate goal for humanity. Bracewell At the recent B.C.I.T. Convocation held at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, Kim Bracewell of Hopkins Landing was one of the fourteen hundred ofthe graduating class of 1977. Gibsons Co-op Store patrons will remember him when he worked at the store after graduating from Elphinstone Secondary School. For the past two years Kim has been enrolled with the survey technology department, at B.C.I.T. specializing in photo- grammetry. - The Sechelt Peninsula Neighbourhood Watch project is well underway. Homes in the Halfmoon Bay-Secret Cove and Earl's Cove-Egmont areas have been visited, and it is anticipated that the Pender Harbour area will be completed by the end of this week. Neighbourhood Watch is an R.C.M.P. sponsored program aimed ��� at reducing the rate of crimes against property in this area. An instrumental part of the program is Operation Identification, where homeowners- are encouraged to engrave their Social Insurance Number on valuable property. This type of identification is a proven deterrent to thefts and breaking and enterings. It has been very successful in other areas, and its success in this area will rise in proportion to the number of households helpful in the project. Lions volunteers have been extremely helpful in the project. The Pender Harbour Lions, organized by Mike Cashaback, have distributed a large number of the engravers. In areas where homes are most spread out, the six students employed by the project have done the legwork - and legwork it is, scrambling down long driveways to homes perched on seaside cliffs! The only real problem to date has been that a large number of people have not been at home when their home was visited. Many of these homes will be revisited. However, if your home is missed by the Neighbourhood Watch workers, do not hesitate to drop in to the Sechelt R.C.M.P. detachment to pick up an engraver. For thirty minutes of your time you will receive a lasting method of property identification. Recent Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir has A Land of Our Own on the Biography shelf.

Airport 278-3941 Langdale sewage plant STA Executive INTRODUCING BANK OF MONTREAL Gibsons, B. C. Work qxi a new sewage treatment plant at the Langdale ferry terminal near Gibsons, is on schedule, and a contract has been awarded to Raymond Enterprises of Aldergrove, to construct a 24 foot by 19 foot concrete block building to house treatment equipment at a price of $10,700 it was announced today by Highways and Public Works Minister Alex V. Fraser. The firm submitted the lowest of three tenders for the job which will begin as soon as foundations for the building are completed by the sewage system contractor, Tideline Enterprises of Gibsons, scheduled for between two and three weeks from now. The building phase will provide equip ment for up to five workers for a month. Tideline was awarded a contract for $66,234 for their share of the project which provides employment for up to 11 workers for varying periods of time up to 16 weeks. Third contract will be awarded in July, tenders having been called, returnable July 6 for installation of lift station control and other electrical installations which concern the treatment facility. Other improvements to the Langdale ferry terminal facilities have already been completed, such as new turning dolphin and walkway to accommodate larger ferries at the dock. Manageress Nancy Bradford, seamstress Jane May and candy maker,Susan Wolpert snip ceremonial ribbons to mark the opening of the End of the Rainbow Boutique in the centre of Roberts Creek. The next executive of the Sechelt Teachers' Association takes office officially on July 1st. The executive was elected at a meeting held last month in Pender Harbour. Elected as President for the coming year is Doris Fuller, librarian at Gibsons Elementary School. Mike Lynch is the Vice- President and Joan Robb will perform the functions of Secretary. Cheryl Douglas will be the Treasurer. Geoffrey Madoc-Jones will again be Geogtaphic Representative at the meetings of the B.C.T.F. in Vancouver and Elphinstone librarian Gary Foxall will be this year's Agreements Chairman. When contacted by the Coast News President-Elect Fuller said that she was looking forward to a fruitful and interesting year. She pointed to the fact that relations between the S.T.A. and the local board are better now than at any time in recent years and that educationally things are going relatively well in the district. One possible area'of concern that Mrs. Fuller pointed to was the possible threat of mounting unemployment among teachers of the province in the coming year. \"There would seem to be a directive from Victoria to the local school boards,'' said Fuller, \"to reduce the number of teachers. This may have the effect of raising the pupil-teacher ration within the classroom and the number of unemployed teachers outside the classroom and may be a matter of some concern.\" J&C Sechelt Council hears zoning recommendations ELECTRONICS Cowrie Street SECHELT 885-2568 FAST SERVICE For Your TV & STEREO (loaner set available) NOW OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK! 885-3815 885-9769 The Zoning Committee recommendations were read out at last week's regular Sechelt Council meeting. The committee asked that further study and a plan from Len Van Egmont were needed before a site could be chosen for his new apartments. The report also stated that it could see no economic advantage to Mr. Hall's proposal for another mall in the Sechelt area. Alderman Booth moved that the recommendations from the committee be accepted and implimented. Denis Gray, the proprietor of Coast Cycles asked council' to grant temporary permit > to operate out of his present building. According to the fire regulations, a fire wall made from eight inch cement blocks is required, but Mr. Gray felt that due to the building being temporary, the expenditure was unreasonable. Plans are in the works to rebuild on the site, but since the new sewer system is still at least a year away they are being delayed. Council granted a one year permit on the condition that Mr. Gray not do any major repairs inside the building.

Coast Newsy Insert Page5, June 28,-1977. by John Burnside There is a self-effacing quality about Canadians generally which is refreshing in contrast, say, with tiie often overly assertiveness of our American neighbours. Sometimes it slips into a kind of self - denigration, however, which is less than healthy. As a young Scots immigrant to this country twenty-three years ago, for example, one of the first things I heard with frequency was the assertion from my Canadian peers that Canadian history was boring. Boring, I thought, how can Canadian history be boring? It had wars between the French and the English in a fantastic wilderness setting; it had Indian tribes, notably in the early days of the white man's coming the Iroquois and the Hurons; it had the amazing fur trade with coureurs de bois virtually crossing the entire continent by canoe in search of beaver furs; there was the unending struggle between the economic interests and the church with the trade in brandy to the Indians a constant bone of contention. BRITISH COLUMBIA The story of Canadian development is peopled by the most incredible characters like Louis, Comte de Frontenac, leading a punitive expedition against the Iroquois in the wilderness in his seventy-fifth year; through its pages run the stories of those incredible men who mapped -the continent, La Verendrye, La Salle, Hearne, Thompson, Mackenzie, routinely performing feats of the most incredible hardihood. ALBERTA What, I wondered as a newcomer to the country and its history, could one ask for more than this by way of a colourful history culminating in the epic struggle of the Plains of Abraham. If there's a country in the world which has a more colourful period than the early history of white settlement in Canada and such a period set in a more truly awesomely magnificent setting, I've yet to hear about it. ' - SSSiSy ?:^d- f^lPt?W?��.^ 1 SASKAT CHEWAN ^L_\\ __ j_M v-:-?:';.;\":- SASKATCHEWAN If the period of political activity of the 19th Century featured more frock coats and mutton chops than fur-clad adventurers, it is nonetheless full of absorption as the scattered pockets of settlers across the vast northern half of the continent fought to retain an identity separate from their rapidly expanding giant neighbour to the south. There are few politicians in history more engaging, moire fascinating, or more brilliant than Canada's first Prime Minister John A. Macdonald. The pity is that so few Canadians know much about him. There, are few national undertakings of the scope of the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway in a country so vast, in terrain so difficult or with a population so tiny. Quite simply it had to be built if the far-flung colonies were to be held together and it was built, though it took the moving of mountains, both physical and financial, to build it. MANITOBA On the less than epic scale Canadian history is the valiant story of settlers in a new land enduring a climate which is northern and can be harsh. Un recorded stories of heroic struggle are everywhere across the vast northern half of the continent. The Canada we know today did not have an easy birth. There were two founding peoples with centuries of rivalry and struggle between them and there was the land itself, magnificent and vast, but severe and unforgiving in its seasons. ONTARIO And perhaps the Canadian tendency to self- denigration arises from the fact all too commonly there is a lack of physical awareness about the northern giant which is their geographic heritage.

It is a fact that almost ninety percent of the Canadian population are lined across the continent within two hundred miles of the American border with their faces yearning south towards the palm trees with their backs turned figuratively on the northern heritage which is the envy in its untapped plenty of much of the world. It is true that the Canadian north has been looked at as a place to draw wealth from but little attempt has been made as yet to relate to it as a place capable of settlement and development. g(*?^S!? QUEBEC Canadian writers such as Farley Mowat, in particular, in the last few years have been declaring the folly of the lack of northern development. In his book Siber Mowat makes a convincing argument that much more should be done. He contrasts the emptiness of the Canadian north, its exploitation and virtual destruction of the native people to it with what is happening in that other Northern Giant, Siberia, where cities are built and native residents conduct the affairs of their area in their native tongue. The Canadian' lack of positive identity must in part be caused by reason of the refusal to relate truly to the vast and challenging land which is theirs. Sometimes, it seemed, that the entire (population wished that they had been Americans. The last ten years, however, have seen a reversal of this position. Perhaps the recent war in Vietnam with thousands of young Americans fleeing their homeland to seek refuge in Canada, was a factor in this change. In any event there seems to be less of a feeling now that Canadians would be American. NEW BRUNSWICK t> NEW MUNSWICK NOVA W SCOTIA^ P NOVA SCOTIA It would seem that Canadians are beginning to become aware of the fact that in a troubled world, theirs is a country of stability and plenty. They are beginning to become aware that in the peace and plenty of their lives they are among the favoured of the world. That, in short, there are not mahy more favourable countries to call home anywhere on this globe. PRINCE EDWARD ISIANU 4^> MHNCI EDWARD ISLAND Again, as an immigrant over twenty years ago, one of the first things noted by that long ago Scots boy was that in Montreal, where he first resided, the companies were inevitably Siii %y /^SigKP/ Saxons whilst the French Canadians ran the elevators, cleaned the streets, drove the taxis. Since then there has been a change in the political climate and education of Quebeckers. They are demanding and earning a control over their own economic lives which a people needs if they would live in dignity. There are difficulties which beset this confederation, but when were there not? As the country approaches now its one hundred and tenth birthday it can be confidently asserted that Canadian tendency towards reason and compromise which made this country possible will yet The history of this country is comprised of men of different backgrounds living together and together in times of crises rising to the challenge ofthe time. NEWFOUNDLAND NEWFOUNDLAND For among the nations of the world this great empty northern land is unique in its hope of a future in which it may be possible for peoples to live together in separate ways and without subjugation of one by the other. The Canadian Mosaic, as it has been called, is as much an accident of history as it is a consciously wrought entity. But it may well be a divine accident nonetheless and those of us privileged to be a part of it should be proud to be so and careful in our guarding of it. CANADA In the essential decency which followed the wars between the colonial powers, in the daring dream of Confederation and the struggle which achieved it, in the time of two World Wars, the men and women who people this land have shown themselves capable of personal sacrifice, of great effort, and of reasoned compromise. It is a privilege to be a Canadian. Happy Birthday, Canada, and many happy returns of the day.

Obey the regulations regarding livesaving equipment, using only that stamped or labelled \"approved\" by the Department of Transport. Assist any boat in distress. The waving, in a vertical circular motion of a piece of light coloured material or a light by night is a distinctive distress signal. Slow down when passing dredges or water where d ivers may be working. Slow down when making sharp turns, and in bad weather. Slow down when passing row boats and canoes, especially in narrow waters. Learn the Rules ofthe Road and practise them. When operating at night, carry a few red flares in a watertight container; the red flares used on railroads are efficient and inexpensive. Keep the bilges of the boat clean, free of oil, gasoline and rags etc. Vent any enclosed areas into the open air. Check the battery and its ventilation.. Obey the regulations regarding fire precautions and fire extinguishing equipment. Carry an anchor and sufficient length of sound cable, rope or chain - at least five times the average anchorage depth. Be sure that the inboard end of the line is securely fastened to the boat. Wear a lifejacket in a small boat whether or not lifesaving cushions are carried. Join a yacht or boat club if possible, and keep yourself informed on regulations. When engaged in extended cruising carry the latest corrected charts and related publications in your boat at all times. Obtain Annual and Weekly Notices to Mariners. \"Fifteen men on a dead man's chest, Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum.\" A fine old sea chantey which aptly depicts a sailor's lifestyle in days of old when rum was synonymous with seafaring and vice versa. No one has ever determined the cause of death of the man in the song. Perhaps he died as a result of an accident due to his excessive alcoholic intake. a .-�� .-. t/-' *��� ��� -.,���*���\" W ��������� * '���*������. *\" t - ���*������ V ���.-'*.�� - ���* X :mmt- .*.\" Today our waterways are very much more crowded than in days of old and our vessels much more sophisticated, especially those equipped with high powered engines. Drinking and driving afloat can be just as hazardous as on the highways. There is good reason to believe that the frequency rate of accidents which involve alcohol is just as high in boating as it is in motoring. Alcohol inpairs the senses and increases the reaction time that is necessary for safe and pleasurable boating. STAY SOBER AFLOAT OR YOU MAY PAY AN UNPLANNED VISIT TO DAVEY JONES * LOCKER Don'ts Stand up or change seats in a small boat, particularly when the boat is fully loaded. If necessary, crouch low and keep the weight on the boat's centerline, holding on to both gunwales. Stand up when starting an outboard motor. Operate near swimmers. Mix liquor and boating. Use a leaky or poorly built boat. Cruise fast enough to create a dangerous swell when near small boats. Leave your tiller or steering wheel unattended when under way, especially in harbours, anchorages or narrow channels. Throw garbage overboard. Sound your horn or use spotlight unneccessarily. ' f . - 7 Wait until the last minute to signify your intentions of obeying the Rules of the Road. Anchor close to other boats. Cruise at high speed in pr near an anchorage, Hold impromptu races/ with ^n row boats, canoes and other small craft are endangered by the wash. Attempt to swim ashore if your boat is swamped; hang on to the boat picked up. Bea \"show-off\". capsized or you are \"Buzz\" bathing beaches; swimmers are hard to see in the water. Carry out-dated charts and related publications in your boat but always use the latest corrected editions. Create excessive wake, this can endanger others in your vicinity and also cause bank erosion; and damage to property .'���.. ��* *���- *-������*��� *.. \"�����-._ ���-..!&��� ji/m.
