Work is now gojbig apace on the 48 car ferry now docked in North Vancouver. The'Coast News Thursday April 12 1951 In His True m mm '��� ��� MAIN STUMBLING block on the right of way for ear ferry service between Horseshoe Bay and Powell River has been overcome and mainly due to the untiring, and unstinting efforts of B.M. Maclntyre,\" MLA. Let no. man believe the legislative, green light was given without much hard work on the part of many, some for it and some against it, but standing above them all, handling the pawns of negotiation with the sure touch of a veteran chess player was %our member of the assembly. Strong opposition sprang up-from the west shore. It seems that-West Vancouver has trouble operating its own transport services and has made a fizzle out of its.fire brigade efforts not to mention the mess they are in with the hospital question, yet they find much time to tell everyone else'how to operate their business. We hope this is water under the bridge now. But the opposition born of that municipality's faculty of not minding its3\"own affairs could easily have frightened a lesser man - it frightened* the majority of the 12 man private bills committee. A man of smaller stature* would have failed miserably when he faced the Coalition caucus, charged with selling the whole idea to the strongest group in the political horizon. There were men'there who were against the ear ferry, there were men there who wanted changes in the wording, there were also members who disliked the 25. year and the expropriation clause. There were-none who disliked the ear ferry proponent and therein, lies our member's strongest point. Cast back and remember the opportunity given Batt to stand on the floor of the h>ouse and, with sword' waving high and sparks flying from him in righteous indignation, denounce the government for its foolishness in the*hospital stand. Then takest that same man, douse the sparks, melt his sword and send him, in supplication, to. the caucus and we would have had the Maclii- .- goune for another few years. ' :.-��� ���' \" We do hot believe our member is the smartest man in the government but he has a lot of sound common sense and. the ability to play poker with master poker players. And that attribute, when the chips are down, is worth much to this area.

EDITOR SIR. I would appreciate on behalf ' of tiie Seoheit District Liberal Association to be -gyiven space iu your pap;>r to answer the vitriolic outpourings againsttow'Associati n appearing in your paper dated April 5 over the signature of J. Steele and your..qwn caustic remarks in regard to the appointment for the position a; Postmaster at Sechelt Post Office. The Sechelf Distivc: Liberal Association, has never interfered politically or otherwise in any appointment that comes under the jurKdicti- n of the Civil Service Commission-,., and has UiOt cat any ; time endeavoured to brJng political pressure to-bear on the appointment of a. specific person to fill the position as Postmaster at Sechelt. The facts in this case are as follows; When the previous Postmaster at Sechelt due to severe - illness' in the. fall of 1950 was 'unable to carry on his duties as Postmaster completing the terms set by the Postal Authorities for the date of his retirement, that siiuatu n was brought to the attention of the proper authorities, by our organization with a request that immediate steps be taken through the Civil Service Commission to remedy ihe situation without undue delay. At a later date we were advised that Mr W. McKissock was an applicant for the position. Finding that he possessed all the' ri'eees-sary qualifications i.e. the required length of residence in the area, being a veteran with overseas service, possessing the. proper educational require- ���-������men'.*' -as well as .being an upright, well thought of mem- -: ber of the' community, we wer* privil eg-.ad and pleased a[s a responsible community body to recommend his name for consideration by the Examining Committee. We asked for no ipecial * privileges f or . Mr lilelvissock as we a,rb qu'ite content to leave the final selection in the proper hands of the Civil Service Commission. Let it be clearly understood that neither \"Aries\" nor any other individual is authorized to speak on behalf of the Sechelt District. Liberal Association. .Mr Steele must look to you as Edit r and your vCol- umnist for redress for any embarrassment and inconvenience caused him by .your publications of unfounded rumors. I can understand that any person in anger, whether the cause is real or imaginary, may*��� make statements he later may ���regret. I will therefore, expect that Mr Steele will, apologise for his unfortunate choice of language in describing the Membership Of the Sechelt District Liberal Association. rnjfg,, the Members, like -the ItaKer'Ship, of every, other -worthy local Organization, devote our time and efforts through political channels to 'obiham the just share of Gov- *���ment improvements for our District. Thus improvements to ���' roads, wharfs, electrification health and well- etc. can in a be credited to efforts exerted note of agreement with , Mr Steele on at least one point, ^ Jiis apparent- admiration for oi-.r Member of Parliament, Mr\" James Sinclair. It is organizations such as ours that has produced men of that calibre.

West Vancouver; ; ^4 umn stating I had taken over- the duties as Postmaster at Sechelt, of course, this being untrue, has. been very enibar^ rassing aiid ��� unjust to the writer. ; It has been my intention to apply for this position for the past year, but not until our past worthy Postmaster had definitely, submitted his resignation. My application was forwarded to the District Post Office Inspector at Vancouver, B.C. In turn advice was received advising position would be advertised for applications by. the. Civil Service Commission and this would be. an open competition to all applicants, also statingg preference given to applicants with residential qualifications, overseas veterans, educational and general suitability. Of course including other qualifications. It was not until November 2 1950 did the Liberal Association of Sechelt know of my interest in this direction and it was only through pressure being put to bear on Dr McColL re health re-action of the Postmaster's Assistant and a request that something be done to relieve this burden. At that time Dr McColl telephoned,the Sechelt Liberal Association President and immediately an executive meeting was held whereby the secretary was instructed to write a letter to our 'federal member, as this apparantly seemed to be an urgent matter at tha& time, endorsing my. name which I accepted as a v$ry high compliment. Mr Steele's editorial reads as though the/writer is not eligible to apply for such a position therefor^ I wish to declare that I too am a veteran with overseas service as well as being a member, in good standing, 6f the.; Canadian Legion, Branch 140, Sechelt. Mr Steele's : reference to several liber.al members'* quoting he hadn't a ^chance, in my opinion, has shown they are not aware as to just what appointments a \" member of parliament may have any influence. I noticed Mr Steele was approached by several people to file an application and wish to stress there' wal: no .outside instiggator'on my behalf and I do feel I am an ordinary citizen in the Sechelt Community with equal rights and am always open to fair competition. ���.-������������ ��� '��� . I resented very much the article under \"Aries\" column and immediately contacted the columnist as well as having the editor call, but neither would bear tlie burden of such an error. - Then Mr Steeds lengthy article high lighting this^same untrue statement in the following issue of, The Coast News has forced my hfitid to reply which, I can assure all readers, . has \\ not been a pleasant duty, especially to a fellow veteran, and do hope Mr Stele will realize I am just another applicant.
