From Wednesday to Saturday everyone interested in the. \"grass roots\" voice���that's what all convention guest speakers call weekly editors���discussed everything that has ever been done in the weekly paper world. One point of interest was the story that a certain weekly newspaper in B.C. had used scented ink in its advertisement four or five years ago. I was foolish enough;- to say that probably the first time it was used was with the Vancouver Sun about a month ago. Such, I was emphatically told, is not so. ��� Jack Allen, the carpenter, was tell rae he. has a relation who runs the weekly newspaper out in Cloverdale. There are more people in this area related to newspapermen or have actually operated a paper themselves than could print the next ten years' issues of the Encyclopedia Bri- tannica. Talking about carpenters reminds me that one of the hardest working, men during the recent building bees at Gambier Harbour was John Cattanach.

Fishing Poles Are Scientific _ GSst)N��-^6f ~ititer��st\"to locaT fishermen is the following item from Canadian Fishermen; -The \"Salar^\" operating from Vancouver, has taken on aluminum poles. Most fishing vessels are equipped with fir sticks. The \"Salar's\" poles are made of IPS Alcan 65ST alloy aluminum piping. Aluminum has two ���. great advantages over the wooden poles. Unlike the wooden poles, they will not break and their light weight is a boon to small fishing vessels, as the heavy wooden poles are inclined to make the vessels top heavy. The \"Salar\" is a 44-foot vessel and is owned by Captain Harvey Ryall. According to Canadian Fisherman, this new application of aluminum is being watched with keen interest by fishermen on both the west and east coasts. It's A Girl SECHELT ��� Born to Mr. and Mrs. E. R.

McKay was elected convenor of an enthusiastic group of ladies, recently met in the .Community Hall in order to discuss the coming Annuar Bazaar. Weekly meetings, in order to L- promote and prepare for the bazaar are in the offing under leadership of Mrs. Murphy who has agreed to guide the sewing group. Articles for sale will include the group's products which will not alone provide money for the very worthy aims of these ladies but will add experience to the- younger ladies in the making of children's clothes and knitting. Rug making will be included in the group's work. These, also will be for sale as will candy in a specially prepared booth near the homecooking stand. There will be a display of several attractive drawings which may be for sale but more details will be given here later. The Community Hall itself, noAV being loaned as church and rented to various groups including the public health department ��� for Well Baby clinics there, was first started four years ago as a discussion group in the Selma Park Store. The hall now includes a completely furnished club room, while redecoration is under way,' inside and out. It is hoped to realize enough money from the bazaar to help defray cost of a piano. Community service is their standard and a small group working together as these ladies have done during the past four years, can easily achieve results of which to be proud. who would like to place such as this school as well.\" \"Our service is the same as that of any Vancouver boarding school but we could allow pupils to go home every week end from here. That would then be boarding school efficiency and discipline combined with the home influence.

Western Canada and the United States this summer. Trained university graduates were on hand to help the girls from six to sixteen.

A graduate o f Vancouver General Hospital and B.A. Sc. of nursing from University of British Columbia, Mis_s. Baker also nursed for five years in the Surrey and Burnaby branches. Miss Mabel Cooper, Wilson Creek, was appointed relief nurse at the meeting. The meeting decided in view of increased costs of the service to raise visit fee to $1.25, which would be more in line with fee charged by other British Columbia branches. Financial statements showed another $900 needed to complete ; the objectives for the year. Auxiliaries reported active programs. A fashion show slated for Gibsons, and an auction sale in Sechelt. Dates of these items are announced in the Date Pad. Sechelt Firemen Drive for Fund SFCHELT���In an effort to boost their now slim capital, this community's volunteer fire brigade, under Chief Fred Mills, will sponsor a bumper dance and entertainment at Roberts Creek, October 21. \"Further details will be released at a later\" date,\" the fire- chief said. \"We are attempting to raise enough money so the brigade will have a backlog for various things needed in the way of replacements and small items it is hard to detail in a list for donations.\" Further details of the .. event will appear in later issues of this paper. GIBSONS���Pressure which well may force readjustment of the federal lottery laws, was brought to bear on the Ottawa government by a national committee of veterans headed by Legion Council Member Robert Macnicoll. ' ~ ' p ~ ~ ���X- Returning from the national convention in Winnipeg, Mr. Macnicoll told the Coast News his committee, including members from every province, \"had made a thorough examination of provincial enforcement of Section 236 of the Criminal Code and had found an inequality in its administration which was surprising.\" Macnicoll also acted as chairman of the organization and development committee for the national body at the meeting which was attended by 600 delegates. Delegates forced Hon. Hugues Lapointe, minister of veterans' affairs, to concede a need for a parliamentary committee of veterans for advisory purposes. He will recommend the re-establishment of this group at next session of parliament, Mr. Macnicoll reported. \"Unfortunately,\" said Mr. Macnicoll. \"owing to lack of time, full discussion on every angle of my committee's recommendations could not be heard. They will be discussed at the Dominion council of the Canadian Legion to be held in Ottawa in November.'* Matters to be dealt with then will include illegal entry into .. Canada of jalleged. col^bqrators, ' \"DoukhoFors; ancf ^H^imrnigraiion laws. The veteran provincial secretary for the Legion here, had some views of his own to pass along following his \"illuminating\" trip. \"Meeting people on the train and in Winnipeg, I came back to British Columbia with the impression that among veterans there is a growing resentment at the delay in dealing with requests on behalf of very low income groups, and that whether veterans or not, the people who are suffering from the continuous increase in the cost of living are becoming unsettled to the point that will eventually endanger the political future of the Ottawa government unless they adopt some more definite procedure to improve conditions. \"War, or threat of war, will not be taken as an excuse in de- The Truth Will Out NEW BRIGHTON ��� We intend io slay with it now until the last dog is hung or ihe final postmaster or misiress appointed.

Information On Potato Growing GIBSONS ��� Peninsula farmers who are interested in the growing of potatoes may find the following of value. The B.C.

It is the B.C. Federation of Agriculture's wish that as many growers as possible take advan-. tage of this as most of the domestic, as well as the United States sales will, in future, be based on the readings from these plots. Full regulations covering your samples for testing will be pub ises made some time ago by those who aspired to political office.

Said author Miss Pinchin, \"All my recipes have been personally tested and I know they are of value and guarantee they are good.\" We also believe that. That is Why we take pleasure in printing them. (Ed.) Crabapples are ripening now, and are appearing on the market ready for you to use for those tangy preserves and jellies. Transcendents are the first crabapples to be offered in the stores. They usually arrive around the middle of August, and are available for about three weeks. They are yellow in color and have pink cheeks. They are not as common as the Hyslops in B.C. Hyslops come later in the season. They are normally on the market around the first or second week in September. These are the crabapples that are ripe and ready to use now. They are bright red in color with a white bloom and they make marvellous jelly. Crabapples of either variety have plenty of pectin and acid for jelly-making. They should not be over-ripe, however, for the best results. If they are mealy and have lost their crisp- ness, they are over-ripe. This jelly is good as a spread for toast or bread, and is also a good accompaniment for pork. Crabapples are good in every way for jelly-making. Here is the best way to get clear, luscious jelly. Wash crabapples and .cut into Quarters. Be sure to cut through the cores, so that the pectin around the core is released. Choose a clear, bright day for making jelly because water evaporates more quickly when there is less moisture in the air and it is easier to get good results. Put the washed, cut fruit into a large preserving kettle with enough water to almost coyer, the crabapples. Cover and cook until the fruit is soft. Stir occasionally and use a potato masher to crush the fruit. Dip the jellv bag into boiling water and wring out quite dry. Put fruit into bag and hang to drain for several hours or overnight. If you want nice clear jellv, don't squeeze the bag. Put the sugar to heat for 10 to 12 minutes, allowing % cup of sugar to each cup of juice. Boil t.he juice for 10 to 12 minutes. Then, measure the juice \"and add one cup of the heated sugar for each cud of the prepared, boiled- down juice. Boil together until the jelly forms two thick drops that run together on the. edge of the spoon. Pour into hot. sterilized jars and cover jars with a clean cloth and let set .until firm. Seal with melted wax and place covers on jars or tie paper over the tops. SPICED CRABAPPLE JELLY This is really good if you like a bit of soice in your cooking as well as in your life. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/16 teaspoon cinnamon to each cup of juice before adding the sugar. This is really good with meats, and is wonderful on pancakes and waffles, too. PICKLED CIABAPPLES These are really delicious! And so pretty on a relish tray. They are perfect with cold meats. This is the best recipe I have for pickled crabapples. I am sure that your family will enjoy them as much as mine has in past years. (Continued on Page 7) GA BI��R HARBOUR By Glenwood Freedoiti ���11 The Press 'i i (EJta (ftxrasi Jfsta ~��tb.

Editorial Department, Gibsons 45 Telephones: Commercial Printing, Gibsons 45 THE ABOVE means so very little to most of us ���scarcely worthy of a second thought. We are used to reading editorials in the daily and weekly papers, subconsciously knowing that, despite the rot they may be, they are still the honest belief of the newspaper in question. And therein lies the true stature of press freedom. No question is in the reader's mind but what the editorial writer or the paper actually believes what is written. It is beyond our comprehension to think otherwise. Let ho man believe that that unconscious acceptance merely happened. You read this editorial with doubt or belief, but never with thought of it being forced or of who ordered it. It is written without'coersion on the part of the government or any party or the Army or the Police Force or any hidden political power. You never doubt that. You know such is the irrevocable truth. It may behoove us well to remember the cost in buying your attitude of acceptance because bought it was. Thousands of gallons of human blood have been spilled in order for you to read this. Millions of men have died to give you the feeling ' which you accept with such surprised, raised eyebrows, now that it has been mentioned. As you read this, far from your mind are thoughts of hunger and blood and torn and gaping wounds in men who lie on the battlefield. There is no thought in your mind of the desper- , ate pleading, the agonized praying, the years of anguish that have gone past, just so you may read these words. Those things and much more have been written into the pages of history, penned-in the blood of martyrs, heroes and heroines. You read this editorial because men and women have died before their time, have volunteered their precious i . Make Hunting Safe AT LEAST 95 per cent of all hunting accidents each fall can be avoided if every hunter acquaints himself with the fundamentals of safe gun handling and constantly practices them. These fundamentals are simple and serve a dual purpose: they help keep hunting a safe sport and .make fqr better, marksmanship..; *,:..>-.,_.,������ X���.,....-.-.,,,...y.^i There is no excuse for ' carelessness in gun , handling, wrhether the weapon is loaded or not. The cardinal rule of gun safety is \"treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun.\" Always remember���never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot. Never leave your gun unattended unless you unload first. Never climb a tree or a fence with a loaded gun. Carry only empty guns���taken down or with the action open���into your automobile, camp or home. Whenever you pick up a gun, indoors or lives���have given their very souls. While thinking of these things which are reasons for their being a free press, you may be saddened to know that perhaps your son or daughter may have to' die in the future in order for more sons and daughters to be able to read editorials in this same paper, perhaps 20 years from now. t If you- or your sons remain free and unfettered they will remain so because first of all your newspapers are so. As long as a free press breathes and lives there never can be dictatorship. First sign of rule by force will come when your paper has to print what it is told. You will know when^ that happens, because then does life become so cheap. The Belgians and the Free French, when forced underground during the last war, printed a free newspaper. The power of the press is such that dict?,tors have risen-and fallen by it���kingdoms have done likewise. At the first hints of restriction this and every paper will raise high their voices so that all may know the forces of evil .are rampant. Everyone knows that Canada, to be free, must have a free voice. The \"Coast News is the collective voice of the Sechelt Peninsula. Its freedom is yours. When this paper is no longer able to write its editorials, rightly or wrongly, as it feels, then are you bound. You are, with the first hint of restriction, a prisoner with what that entails in stifling confinement and throttled living. Freedom of the press is no idle phrase. It is, to you, and you, and you ��� as important as breathing. Millions have, and without God's help, millions more, will die in order that you can enjoy ���a free press. Freedom of the press is not ? phrase���it is a 'heritage. Guard it well. outdoors, always first point the muzzle in a safe direction and examine the piece carefully ' to make sure whether or not it is loaded. Pointing a loaded gun towards a companion is the unpardonable sin of shooting ethics. Do it just once and you have lost the respect and com- .rafleship'ofryour -friendr and-^brandedsypursehXa thoughtless novice or a careless, dangerous shooter with whom it is unsafe to go afield. It is a compliment to be invited to go hunting with an experienced gunner. It means he believes you'will observe all safety rules and practice good sportsmanship.

JOHNSTON WELL, HERE we are again, and the first crack out of the box, let me offer condolences, and hearty congratulations. First, even though the now defunct Peninsula Times died a slow lingering death, she made it. It did the best it could, or knew how, but that was not enough. We on the Peninsula are not ready for two weeklies, many of us wish we were strong enough to support more than one paper, a little competition, so to speak, But that mustn't be considered, at least not yet. And now, may we offer our sincere congratulations, and best wishes, to the Coast News, and its two co-partner owners, hoping they may stear a clear course, and ride at anchor in the port of \"Future Success\". I was hoping that by the time this issue was off the preses, we could have proudly pointed to our highway, and said a fond farewell to the complaint which has become known as \"Dustitis\". However, it won't be long now, the boys are working on the job. Particular interest is being centered around the weaving classes, held at the home of Mrs George Wright. This 'good lady is giving of her time and talents, to the people of Wilson Creek and vicinity, particularly the younger set. This type of work or hobby, will become more and more popular as the gold weather sets in. Mrs Wright's creations on the loom have been the centre of interest at many sales- of-work, in adjacent communities, may we wish this member of our community the best of luck in her endeavors. Mr and Mrs W. (Bill) Richardson of Burnaby, who spent their holidays at Davis Bay, have returned to their home. Bill is a veteran of the last war, and was injured in the Italian campaign. He says it's the first holiday he's had in years, and had a grand time. He looks forward to a return trip. That's the kind of advertising we need. Mrs Bert Wright, who went to the city for a few days and stayed for over two weeks, mentions that her hubby is getting along as well as can be expected. Mrs Critchell has gone to the city for a few days, and incidentally, we regret to .announce her son is not feeling at all good these days and is again confined to his home. Let's hope to see him up and around pretty soon.

The Commission has acquired and amalgamated 25 operating electric utility services, including distribution systems, with immense savings to consumers resulting. ^ The Commission has invested nearly $40,000,000 in generating plant, transmission and distribution services to supply power to industries and its more than 41,000 commercial and domestic customers. The Commission is engaged in the extension of rural electrification, bringing economical irrigation and the other numerous labour and time-saving advantages of power to the farmer. The Commission is developing the enormous hydro power potential of the province, with such projects as the 112,000 horsepower John Hart Development, serving Vancouver Island} the Whatshan project which will help develop the North Okanagan, Kamloops and other communities of the southern-central interior! *ke Clowhom River hydro development, which will supply Sechelt and adjacent coastal areas. The Commission continues to survey hydro resources, with a view to taking care of the future needs of the people* The Commission operates on a financially independent basis, paying all interest on capital, providing from its revenues for maintenance and renewal reserves, sinking fund and contingencies. Its profits go into the stabilization reserve fund, for the improvement of service and protection of the interests of its customers. j The Commission's widespread operations, and the assurance of adequate supplies of power, are directly responsible for the expansion of industry. Such projects as the huge pulp industries on Vancouver Island, at Cedar and Alberni, and, soon to be built, at Duncan Bay, utilize Commission power from the John Hart Development. Power is essential to the fullest development of basic industries, of mills, mines, factories and farms.

Mental health begins at home. SECHELT By \"ARIES\" WE WISH to welcome to Sechelt Mr and Mrs R. E. Burks. Mr Burks is at Lamb Lumber Co and Mrs Burks will be staying in Sechelt. When they get acquainted they will like it as one has to know people to have a good time here and we recently went to Gibsons with the Burks and found out they are lots of fun. Also back in Sechelt and at Lambs camp is Mr Louis Hansen. We were sorry to see Mr and Mrs, Hansen move away from here but by all appearances it won't be long before they will be back to stay. Let's hope so anyway. Leaving Sechelt after a long vacation with her daughter and son-in-law Constable and Mrs Bob Forrester, is Mrs Bevin going home to Kamloops. We hope she is now in better health as she has been ill for some time and also that she comes back to visit us again soon. * Hear that Mr and Mrs Henry Newcomen are still in the Kootenays.

He read in this column we had been in Crescent recently and was sorry that we did not call.

Family Allowance GIBSONS���All parents of children of school age who are in receipt of family allowances were reminded by W. R.

School attendance is compulsory in British Columbia between seven and fifteen years of age. \"Monthly this office encounters cases where children in this age group have been in ��� unsatisfactory attendance for several months,\" Mr. Bone said. \"This results in the parent being asked to refund allowances paid for the period concerned. While practically without exception school authorities notify this department when a child's \"attendance is unsatisfactory, parents should realize that the responsibility for such notification is primarily theirs.\" The only exception to the attendance regulation^ is where satisfactory certificates have been received explaining the absence as due to sickness, lack of school accommodation or no transportation where the distance is considerable.
