BILL SUTHERLAND Editor, The Coast News IT WAS? friend Bill Peiper at the . end of the phone. \"Come on iip to Garden Bay,\" says he. \"When you get to the wharf- we will have somebody there to look after you.\" So, we arrived. The government's fisheries patrol boat, the one with young Wilf Nestman, was tied up to the dock. But we never noticed any�� undue activity. I suggested that probably the reason there was no one there to* greet us was because the captain was down deep in his duffle bag getting the long reds out so they could hang it on the taffrail or stove pipe or wherever they, hang those weird flags when visitors clamber and slither on board. In other words no Bill Peiper, but we did run into Jeff Brewster who bought us a cup of tea and so we pinned back the name Pender Harbour on the.map from which we had just previously torn it. Reg Spicer gave us an earful about no water at Madeira Park School. Seems, friend Reg is aggona set on them thar steps come harvest startin' an' see that them' teachers don't never have to pack no more water so- they can flush the ChicNSales. What tickled me was a picture of Norman Hough, hiring a young thing just fresh out? of Normal and home, and telling her that the galvanized buckets are for packing-water so the modern conveniences can operate. Reg claims that's a fact. No one on the Board of Trade denied it either. Bob Telford in New Trade Board Prexy GIBSONS���Robert Telford, postmaster and old timer here, was elected president of the Board of Trade at a general meeting in the Church Hall, Monday. . Mrs Win Stewart was elected vice president while James Drummond was returned as secretary. Other officers'are: Mrs Marge Leslie, Wi Sutherland, R. C. Richardson, Dr H. C. Anderson, G. W. Anderson, A. E. Ritchey Cliff Gray, Mrs J. Wardil, Chris Jorgenson and J. P. Veitch. ��� : : Installation of the new officers New Dentist Foi* Schools GIBSONS���School children ;here may soon get periodical inspection and repairs done to their dentures. Following prolonged negotiations by the school board, it is believed plans are now near completion whereby a dentist will visit the schools on this' peninsula! on a proper schedule. The last survey showed more than 500 children were in need of teeth repairs. The new dentist, who is expected to arrive soon, has been ap- will be made at ^sp-%;'V -, x On-the way home we fan into a cross section of nature in the rough. First it was a mother grouse; complete with outstretched neck, gimpy leg and broken wing. She was certainly suffering. '.. Even had herself the most anguished cry you ever heard. But Ishe couldn't fool us. We saw the little brown ball of fluff trying to climb the road bank. While wexwatched that game great mother defending ��� her chick we ' thouht back several years ago and recalled seeing the same thing going on every day all '��� around where we used to live. -The thought just struck. How did- this grouse in the Sechelt peninsula . know enough to imitate perfectly a grouse doing exactly the same thing under the same circumstances only 20 years before and more than 700 miles away? Does someone wantc' to speak up and mutter something about instinct We know that, but how come? Next was a two-pointer buck with velvet still on his horns; He gave us a queer look arid headed down the road just ahead of the . car. Stepping the buggy up to 30 never even caused it to lay ba'ck its ears. It stayed ahead until it came to a place it liked . and-with one huge spring was , into the undergrowth arid away. A little 'rabbit decided to investigate the car lights next. But only for a very few. seconds. It came onto the road with that delayed rear ' end.. * action and squatted for a small', portion of a minute. All of a sudden it de- , . cided to change location. The last %e saw of it .was where the hind-end was having no trouble keeping up with the front. We hadn't gone very far when - Mr. Raccoon decided to give us a i cheeky once over lightly. It never even hurried as disdainfully it seemed to turn and lope into the brush. XThere was only one other ��� pretty thing we. saw that .trip and ,. that j was Doreen Blomgren from Roberts Creek. She does a right smart>job of washing windows. Like George Formby she probably sees plenty and says nothing. :x Then we ran into \"Little Lamb Renton\" and that spoiled it. ^proved by the college of dental an opportunity to select a.repre- ^rgi��o1_��''irraxShool\"authorities?' s^t^tive.

Franske Family Takes Over Trading Post DAVIS BAY���The Trading Post, well known throughout this' area has been sold. Victor Franske recently bought the well known landmark from Mr and Mrs Ron Whitaker. The new owner, who wishes to be known as Vic, formerly operated a store on Stewart Island. He, his wife and two children will reside in the cottage adjacent to the store. The Whitakers will remain in the Bay area. It is believed Mr Whitaker is interested in construction of a tourist camp in property adjoining the Whitaker home. Plans have already been laid for a \"Motel\" type. It is expected the first block will be of a ten unit design with building starting immediately following the fire season ending. Mr Whitaker, a former hotel man, who had previously operat* ed in Sechelt, is one'' of the big boosters of this peninsula in regard to tourist traffic. X GIBSONS���Clue to an early start on construction of a small Boat Harbour for this area may be in a letter received from the District Engineer by the Board of Trade. \" : Accompanying the letter was a plan of the proposed harbor and a rock breakwater 450 feet long. The harbor will be dredged west of the present wharf and will be of a 'winged' nature, each individual dock butting onto a main tide-float, 280 feet long. The main dock or 'stem' from which the individual berthing ways will lead will stretch along approximately 1000 feet from offshore at points roughly between Corlett's Apartments and Charles Malcolm's Marine yards. According to the proposal more than 128 boats can berth therein. Floats will be four feet high, and 12 feet wide. ��� In the letter to the Board of Trade, and handed for action to the Trades and Industry Committee, were requests from Mr Morton, for figures as to the number and value of fishing craft, the approximate value of fish caught and other related information as to the commercial necessity for this proposed harbor. Mr Morton went on to say, \"It is presumed that protection for small boats is required in the late fall and winter and that the commercial necessity would probably cover those seasons of the year.\" Commenting on the. letter, \"James\"': Veitch,X^haiirnan of the committee charged with handling the Board's portion of the promotion, said he already had all the figures necessary. \"These are facts we correlated for a previous survey. We will get them to Mr Morton at the earliest possible moment. The picture looks Telford Heads Cemetery Board GIBSONS ��� Robert Telford was elected president of the Seaview Cemetery Board at the general meeting, Tuesday. Other officers are, vice-president, R. Macnicol; secretary-treasurer, Bert Cole; assistant secretary, Mrs Dave Doanaldson; Mrs E. Nestman, T. Humphries, H. King and W. Graham are directors.. ......'.... Owing to Seaview being the only available cemetery in the peninsula the board decided to withhold formerly proposed restrictions. Half an acre, of adjoining land will be cleared with available funds. Following this, it was decided to try and raise more money from the areas laying west and served by the cemetery. A committee headed by Mr Fish Derby Now Open GIBSONS ��� Swings and teeter totters are now in action in the municipal park. Thanks to the Kinsmen Club, who donated the labor and material which went into construction of these much needed playthings, children now can romp in comparative safety. A guard rail will be built along the top of the retaining wall according to club president Reg Godfrey. The club wishes it known that today, Monday, is the start of the ten-week fishing derby. Weighing in for the weekly prize of $10 can be made at Sewell's, or Wind and Tide Boat Rentals, Granthams, or De Luxe Fishing, Gibsons. It will be necessary to produce a derby ticket with each separate weigh in. These must be uncancelled. Cancelled' tickets can be held until final draw when they are elegible for the main prize of $100.

Following representations from Vancouver headquarters of the drive, the Kinsmen Club volunteered to sponsor the important canvass. Letters will be sent to each householder in the time honored manner prescribed by custom. partially responsible for the. idea of getting a bus load of stampede enthusiasts, reports the trip has been called off. \"There were several interested in the idea,\" he said, \"but not enough to pay for the trip. We are sorry in having to call it off but there was just not enough takers.\" Confirmation at Anglican Church SIR FRANCIS Heathcote, archbishop of New Westminster, officiated at the ceremony of confirmation, at St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church, Sunday morning at Gibsons. Ten new members were confirmed, and the church was filled to capacity\" to witness the impressive ceremony. Rev. V. Oswald assisted.

Telford with Mr Macnicol. and Mr Cole will undertake-to clear the ground. Unless voluntary assistance by means of funds is forthcoming it was intimated the cost of space would have to be raised. The increase may be levied only on those outside of Gibsons and Roberts Creek area. The board also passed the ruling that markers in the new portion of the cemetery will be of uniform, flat stones or plaques. GIBSONS ��� District 46. School Board made first move toward actual construction of , schools when it authorized an application be made to the Department of Education for permission to proceed with working drawings, plans and specifications. If and when granted, H. Cullerne, architect, will be advised to proceed with construction following receipt of tenders to be called later. Roberts Creek school will have priority in construction according to board minutes. Auditor B. W. M. Bone, 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, has been appointed auditor of accounts.

A guide for handling of future pensioner application for reduction in taxes will be drawn up by a special committee, yet to be announced. It is expected that a \"blue print\" of procedure will facilitate what may be the first rush of applications. , -.0 3* ttcotcao&i DAVIS BAY By Robbie I TOOK a stroll down by the wharf to see how the breakwater was shaping up. It's coming along nicely, and according to our friend, Kynock, the bossy man, it is to be completed by the end of this week. It is to be about 80 feet long. News of the boats giving Wilson Creek a miss for three or four weeks, came as a bit of a shock. One would think the men could wrap up their tools, clear the decks, and save a dollar ��� twenty-five taxi fare, which is now added to the already exorbitant sum of three fifteen for passenger fare from Vancouver. Met Mr. Pilling from Gibsons, who related the following. He took his boat out to do a little fishing, and, like everybody else, from Gibsons, hooked a fish, the other guy netted it from his own boat and by mutual consent, the stranger had the fish for supper. During the week Jack Whittaker and your, humble, took several pictures of the miniature dust storm, which cccurs every time an automobile passes up or down the road at Davis Bay. The upshot of this is the resolution passed at our community meeting, that the secretary be instructed to drop a line to the Hon. minister of health, also to the roads and public works departments as well as a copy of each to friend Mclntyre the M.L.A. We await the outcome with crossed fingers and a handkerchief over our mouths, as a protection against \"dustitis.\" Two of our recent invalids have recovered sufficienly well to be able to take a long trip, and when this issue comes' on the streets, Mrs. F. Mutter and Mrs. F. Blower will be well on their way to California, they expect to be away for several weeks. The entertainment committee has drawn up plans for a sports day for the children of Wilson Creek. Running, swimming and sack races, as well as a pillow fight, ���will be dished up. The , ladies will try their luck at potato and egg and spoon, the men will climb the greasy pole. Ice cream and pop will be given to each child\" and it is hoped the ladies will make a basket picnic of this first annual sports day for the W.C.C.C. in.August. The Ladies' Glee Club are folding up for the months of July and August, and will recommence early in September. If you are acquainted with the Whipple family, the next time you meet any of them you had better start handshaking, 'coz they are leaving the district, Mrs. W. has decided to go with her family to the camp at which her husband is working. Well good luck friends. The Eric Jones's have returned to Vancouver and Shaughnessy hospital where thev both work for the D.V.A. But Eric has threatened to come .back in September, that reminds me, he'll be in time for the salmon derby at Davis Bay, and by the wav George Wright still has lots of herring strips for you fishermen.

Mr Theed will be buried in his former home town, Summerland. His son, Board of Trade president, is completing transfer plans following his appointment to Dawson City. YOUNG Bill Pye, speaking at the recent graduation ceremonies in the High School, paid a fellow basketball team member one of the finest compliments to which it has been our good luck to listen. Speaking about Denis Lowe, Team Captain Pye remarked that Denis had a low score primarily because, \"he was always willing to pass the ball. He never wanted to hog it. Even under the - net, when he would have a reasonably fair chance of scoring, he would pass the ball to assure his team of a better scoring chance. We have never met the Mr Lowe in question but we would deem it an honor. So many of us are tardy at passing the ball. Far rather would we hog it and pass the buck instead. This young man, we presume he is at least a partial product of the Sechelt Peninsula in that he got some training here, has started on the right road to success. He is willing to look out for his team's effort. He is considerate and a sportsman.. . We checked, following the graduation exercises, on this young man. We checked with his severest critics���his fellow pupils. We spoke to four and each and every one agreed with Bill Pye. We are glad there has been such a boy in our midst. He must have been an example to others in his sporting manner. If such is the case we are better off for having him with us. In his scholastic achievements we are not even remotely interested. The criterion of the world market which he will meet in later years will judge harshly enough with Mr Lowe. We are just pleased to hear that Bill Pye, who rates highly for his own unselfish credit giving, felt it imperative that everyone should know that Denis Lowe is a good sport. We heartily echo the words. There are too few good sports in our midst, it is a pleasure to know we can still raise them. There is hope for us yet. * CITY SLICKERS Every summer hundreds of \"city slickers\" come out of the bush sporting a glorious coat of poison ivy contamination. This irritating and unslightly affliction is easily avoided. Poison ivy beat's a distinctive, notched leaf that any novice can learn to recognize. It grows in patches that only the most careless should fail to notice. This is one form of botany every woodsman needs to know. SECHELT By \"ARIES\" SECRETARY G. Kynoch brought to the Liberal meeting a smirk almost a mile wide; he looked like the proverbial cat which had swallowed the canary as he handed a telegram to president Andy Johnston from Batt Maclntyre, MLA, stating that a double flush coat surface of road from Sechelt to Wilson Creek had been promised by the Minister of Public Works. James Sinclair, MP, was at the meeting and spoke briefly. He had to leave as he wanted a few minutes with his family at Gower Point and was flying to Vancouver later on in the evening. We thought he looked very tired. We June 30. The participants being Mr. Don Coldwell, West Sechelt, and Mrs. Lola Follett of Davis Bay, youngest daughter' of Mr. and Mrs. H. S.

Facts About Advertising ADVERTISING seerrs to be taken for granted and is greatly misunderstood by large numbers of people. This is understandable but it is lamentable that there is not a keener public awareness of advertising's function in our society. Advertising is the main support of our free press (a convincing majority of Canadians were revealed by a recent Gallup Poll to believe that advertising lends interest to our newspapers and magazines). ��� Advertising has most effectively contributed to the widening of our political and economic literacy. Consumer advertising helps to reduce production cost by multiplying production and increasing manufacturing economies. It also reduces selling costs. In reaching prospects, in arousing interest and in creating and maintaining demand, its cost, as a selling instrument, is only a fraction of what otherwise would be entailed. Competition dictates that both these savings, in selling costs and in production costs, be passed on to the consumer. Consumer advertising has furthered the expansion of our economy. It helps create, sustain and extend employment by developing and widening the demand for the products of industry. High- level employment, of. course, means high-level purchasing power. Advertising's universal use in the distribution of goods and services testifies to its efficiency. It is significant that with all its ingenuity, modern business has developed no better sales promotion alternative. Some critics of advertising reveal little grasp of its varied economic functions. Others have shown unfamiliarity with popular tastes or a lack of understanding of the consumer's decisive and eternal power to pass judgment on advertising by the simple switch of his patronage. In the preservation of freedom of choice, advertising is thus a major factor. And freedom of choice is a sure safeguard against advertising's use in any manner inimical to the public interest. C.

DON'T SELL YOUR BONDS IF YOU NEED CASH QUICKLY ^_ Consult- the B of M About a Low-Cost Personal Loan MOST PEOPLE, who save with success, save with a definite purpose in mind. They're thinking about security and , plans for the future���protection for their family, education for their children, a home of their own. There should never be any need to sacrifice such plans in an emergency. No contractor would get a-house built if he kept taking away pieces to do repair jobs elsewhere. You may need cash quickly, but, if you have some bonds, that you've saved over the years, hang on to them. They can prove very hard to replace. It's wiser to drop into your local branch of \"My Bank\", \"and talk the matter over with T. B. Larson; the manager. You can borrow ot the B. of M against your bonds, and at a rate appreciably lower than for a loan without such security. The money can be repaid in easy instalments, and the interest on your bonds will be credited to your account in the meanwhile. In fact, the interest on the bonds very nearly pays for the interest on the loan. Advt.

PAYING THE PIPER Crowded, crooked irregular permanent teeth are frequently part of the price that must be paid for the premature loss, through lack of adequate care, of 'the baby teeth. Don't allow your child to become a \"dental cripple\" by succumbing to the myth that the baby teeth are of little importance. Those -20 teeth he acquired at -30 months are of even greater importance than are the permanent teeth in the older child. Wife Preservers Use your sewing machine to baste' long seams.
