Following\" is a self explanatory letter received by this paper from James Sinclair, M.P. Dear Sir. I know your readers will expect me to answer your recent editorial 'Attention Mr. Sinclair', critizing me for having had too much federal money spent on construction of new wharves and floats on the Sechelt Peninsula. ilem ocra'ey stands a very slim chance now. Ten years ago, when I was elected as member for the district, one of the chief issues was the neglect of public facilities in the riding. Not even my most enthusiastic supporters, at that time, however, would have dared forecast that ten years later I would be criticized for having done too much for the riding. Today every community which needs a wharf or float has one in good repair. Tt is quite true that eventually, when a first class road .sy.st'em is built on the Peninsula' by the Provincial Government, there will\"be far less need for these wharves, as Gibsons will become the distribution centre of the whole Peninsula. However- that day has not yet arrived, and in veiw of the state of the roads v in recent winters, I am sure my constituents are glad they still have good wharves and can travel.-by sea. Only three major projects are outstanding in the district -Completion of the small, boat harbour ^ at' ��� Roberts Creek, and the construction of sma 1 breakwaters at- Gibsons, and Sechelt. all to ��� provide anchorage for the- fishing' and small craft which' x>.y our coast'. The Government is. cutting back on 'all public works- cate expenditures today because of increased defence expenditures, and so it is unlikely that these projects will be finished in the immediate future. However, I will continue to press for them, as I consider them important for the fishing industry and the district - unless, of course, I find that the views of your editorial are supported by the people of the district and it is not desired to have further developements. I notice, too, that you feel I should be retired from public life. It is only a little more than a year since I faced the electorate, and in the Sechelt Peninsula I recall receiving a majority of almost four to one over my nearest opponent, which would not indicate a very wide-spread desire for my retirement. Three years from now another election will occur and there will be a similar opportunity to retire me. I must, however, congratulate you on your obvious des- ire to cut, down Government expenditures in the dis'tri.-f. am associated with tin* IX- sale fleet T .t nance -Department. tho DeparX__i\\._t mo-:t interested in effecting economies.-We have found 'that Mom- 'hiLn )��� keen\" sei's are always glad to economies in advo- another again lie revealed his plans to ruu wheii asked by Commissioner Mrs E. Nestman It is believed the popular chairman held off from announcing his decision pending a \"clarification of some private matters\" ��� Village Commission decided to ask the B.C. Power commission for 24 more lights in the newly enlarged Village. Authority was given Wally Graham to install a fire hydrant opposite the new firehall. A request from the Ratepayer's Association that members of the Commission should attend a public meeting, today was filed. Unemployment insurance will be taken out to cover employees*\" of the Village in the future. A letter was received from Deputy Minister of Municipal Affairs, B.C. Bracewell requesting the Commission to make known, its views, by means of a resolution, in regard to its stand in the matter of three or five man commissions. Gibsons has already taken the stand it is against the five man idea, which is now. law. It' will reiterate'-this by the' requested resolution. During discussion on this it was brought out that a pleb- eseite would be necessary from ratepayers \" before the proper authority could be granted! provided the Government passed the law in the first place. 'Warning will be sent to a ratepayer that her dog will- have to be licensed. Robert Burns, municipal clerk was authorised to warn the lawbreaker that the dog bylaw would be enforced. This is a clue to the stand which will be taken in the future by Commissioners. ' ., ��� ; men are keen on reduction ot: Government assistance to other businesses. 1 hope you are not, of this type, for I. have a suggestion to make to you where we can save Government money in your own business. The former publisher of the Coast News asked me to secure all Government advertising for the paper. I was glad to assist, for I knew the extra revenue would be most helpful in keeping the paper going. I however encountered strong resistance, for the Government felt it was needless duplication of advertising, since every reader of your paper would have, already seen the ads. in the Vancouver dailies. I persisted, though, and got this advert'sing for your paper. 1 realize now that such waste o distaste ming orn.... i> _. i��_! lhlie funds must be tn y.:-u.

Such a sentiment may well, be in our minds wThen we open, the familiar Gibsons and District Kinsmen Club's Christmas Seal v letter. Everyone on the Penin��ula will have received a letter from the club, complete with Christmas Seals. As the letter points out, buying seals is not a \"gesture of charity alone but just plain common sense. t Wih the incidence of tuberculosis being just a shade above the average on the Peninsula, for the province of B.C., it behooves everyone of us to look very closely at the opportunity of helping keep our families free from this dread disease. Mobile clinics are the only means, we here have of actually detecting the scourge when it first attacks. Our doctors can easily handle the onslaughts of T.B. once it has been caught in the beginning - but they often wage a losing fight when the attack has been long and consistently under ground. That is the main reason for T.B. Christmas seals. They help spread the cost of mobile clinics and preventative medeciue. They help to pay for testing they who cannot afford to have ordinary tests made. This in turn, saves our families from another T.B. contact. Christmas seals are a sound investment. They, as the letter , states, are not alone the sign of a compassionate heart but also nf a good business mind. Much credit' is due the Kinsmen Club for sponsoring this When all is said and done, there are very few groups who would wish to take oil the responsibility of such a major plan. There is a tremendous amount of book keeping ��and planning to go into collecting money from so many people. Ninety percent pf the work is donated by the Kinsmen themselves. Long hours and many evenings go into this promotion which is'just as much for you and you as it is for anyone. Take -advantage of this opportunity of saving your own life and perhaps that of a loved one. 'Be An Angel - Buy a Christmas Seal'.

BACKWARD GLANCES By ROBERT BURNS. (Continued from, last week). However the pioneer Village Fathers had their Village, peopled with taxpayers needing water service, roads, lanes and many other things, and they had legal powers to supply those needs. One thing they did not have: MONEY. Of course they could soon begin to collect taxes, license f ees.. etc., and certain grants of money from the Provincial Government would be receivable. Adding to the gaiety of the situation, the world economic system elected to take one of its periodic nose-dives about that time. We plunged into the 'hungry thirties' and money . became a commodity that was visible only behind the heavy bars of bankers: cages, and certainly was not to be touched or handled bv common people like the residents., of Gibsons Lahdinsr. Fortiiriately, the Commmissio- ners were practical men rather than politicians, and they put into practice a policy of doing the best thev could with what they had,v alwavs keeping in mind the principle of the greatest ^ood to the greatest number. Land covering X a .source of water was acquired: a pumping nlant was installed; reservoir built; and finally service pipes and fire hydrants put in place Naturally, this was not done immediately; in fact, the work carried on for most of the first five years, as it could' only progress as funds were available. The dimensions of such funds are interesting (in view of the figures of government spending today, perhaps 'laughable' would be a better word). For instance, 1937 is perhaps a representative year, and happens to be the earliest year for which fairly complete records exist; in that year the income was; Tax Levy, land and improvements, $522.00.

IVedding Announcement % rices - Quality An event of great interest took place in Gibsons when Miss High Quality and Mr Low Price were joined together in the Gibsons 5 and 10/ This came as a great surprize to most people as these two had not been associated with each other for a number of years. But through Sam Fladager's insistance, they are here to. stay. Out of town guests included the Pottery family, from England. The Toys from Germany and the Linens from Ireland. The S, and P. Shakers family, Mrs T. Pott and Mrs T. Cups also attended the affair. Mr Bill Fold was accompanied by Mrs T. Towel who has just arrived here in Gibsons from overseas. Several Mugs from an undisclosed address were also e present. As. some of these were quite musical they were allowed to stay. The only happening to mar the event was when the Lamps from Toronto became lit and finally had to be put out. The happy couple have taken up residence in Gibsons, where they will be at home to all their friends in the Disrict. h i 1 ��1 I I 1 Us '/'������* I .1 I I ���x _ 1 1 .C90V BY A !T, _i_n_��*ws Uii_i MONDAY ��� WEDNESDAY FRIDAY Doors Close 4 p.m. Three freight trips weekly from Vancouver Covered barge leaves foot- of.

As you know by now, we are printing our paper , right in our own little office, ill Gibsons. It has been a rather hectic time for the Boss', and it reached the stage, where he was'nt even talking to himself. Copy to the right of him, left of him and all the way around him, so we ask your indulgence just a little while, until we.get really organised, and we will certainly have the column rolling every week, we are still on the job, and will be very happy to receive any copy you have for us, and get it into print.. Mrs Doris Drummond convalescing, and recovering from her recent accident. Mrs J. Clay up for a few days visiting her daughter Mrs J Shutz. short visit today win Mrs Josie Wheeler, and her new baby. Both doing very well. We were very sorry to hear that the old Union Steamships are pulling out all the way ud the line. Certainly putting the load on the Machigonne. At boat time the wharf is a grim show. Right now it is just ab- ou the dirtiest place, and in disgraceful condition. Trying to walk around the muck, and miss tlfe puddles in the dark, is a good trick if you can do it With conditions the way they are, wonder how long we will have to put up with this setup. In event of a breakdown of our ferry, what happens then? Traffic right now is just about all that can be handled. Its time the powers that be, looked this way through the other eye When the wharf was opened a few years ago, it'looked very impressive. Today it's certainly anything but. What the answer is, well, your guess is as good as mine. Anyway we'll wait and see. Well folks just in case I don't get this column in between now and the 25 of Deeemderr I'm going to beon the safe side and wish you all Merry Xmas. .i'/ * AWAY, RIO!
