SECHELT. ��� St. Church, sparked by executive, is having job of repairs done. Two bulldozers worked for several days in the church vicinity clearing land and enlarging the church yard. The new board fmembers, who are responsible for this burst of energy are, E. Clayton, L. S. Jackson, Ben Lang and Jim Parker. Said Mr. Jackson, "This work is long overdue and it is tim*e someone to\\)k a hand in the affair. We are not stopping at this sta'ge either. ?t)pii't be surprised if you should see an enlarged church, sometime ��� in the near future. Our Sunday School attendance has trippled in the last few months and the present building will be too small for the increase." The, church area will now consist of 2 cleared acres. UmmTm liberalism Needs" been polio The province is attempting to raise, $40,000 *in order to combat this crippling and killing'^disease. One fact not commonly realized is that polio is not just a; children's disease, but strikes adults ass well. The incidence of polio in patients over twenty years is almost as.high as in patients under 14 years; the Kinsmen claim. A clase history of a 17 year old patient shows' the remarkable work done for her by the Polio Fund. When they took i over her case, she was completely helpless, Unable to even move herself- from her wheelchair to her bed. She was admitted to the Western Society for-Physical Rehabilitation in Vancouver and within a. month was able to get out of her ehaifr unassisted. Treatments , continued, and a year later,? she was released frorriv the Society ��� 'she walked on crutches. The cost of lier treatment for this period was 41,500. ''���;,'; v A short',, time ago a: letter received by the Fund fromHhis ���; girl said,. ^Svords cannot express all I'd like to say, to thank the wonderful Kinsmen - Clubs, and the Polio Fund for all you've done for me. God Bless you all." The Polio Fund feel that the 5$l,o00 was well/ spent. ?? The amount spent on this irirl drives some idea of the tremendous eost of polio. This case is closed, but many victims veed treatment for much longer than a year. The costs include medical treatment, orthopaedic equipment, physioV therapy and rehabilitation aid. The Fund'�� _o?>l of $40,000 is, a very modest figure compared ..to the need. There is no provision made for an epidemic ��� this figure is based on the- normal number of cases. ���' It is pointed out by the Kinsmen that it's fortunate an epidemic didn't occur in British Columbia during 1951. At the end of that year, there was only $200 left in the Fund. Not enough to care for even one additional patient. These are some of the reasons why the Kinsmen Clubs solicit your help in their campaign: Send your donations to Mike Landry, c/o Bank of Montreal, Gibsons, B.C. ,*���' ?.V '�����":��� -.- :��� ���'.-������ ��� Old Chinook SECHELT. ��� As Chinook was the language of trade between the Indians and the foreign traders who arrived in huge sailing ships, so is English, the language of barter in the world market. James Sinclair, M.P.,. disclosed this in a recent speech made here. "When traders meet in the world market to bargain for their nations goods and services, they speak in the English language," he said. There seems to be very little left for our Indian brothers. They are not allowed to hold on to the things they do originate. 4 Sechelt Inn Sold To Saskatchewan Couple .SECHELT.���One of Sechelt's oldest landmarks, the" Sechelt Iiin, has been sold to Mr. and Mrs, C. H. Duncan of Saskatchewan, according to information released by Company Resident Manager F.Pearson. The changeover will be made March 1. The sale price was not disclosed, but it is known the deal was handled by a New Westminster real estate firm. "Changes,- if any, will be gradual," a ,Union spokesman s��id. "The new owners do not. intend to make any drastic changeovers until they have had a chance to look over the situation." Bill DUneah. wrell known CKNW ra'dio announcer, is a son of the hew b\\vners. "There has been no decision made with regard to the dining room," Mr. Pearson said on behalf of the Duncans. Mr. and Mrs. Pearson ^ill-: operate the hotel under exist ing conditions until the,building is transferred. Kinsmen Wifes Present Layette Mrs. G. ?R. Watts was presented with the baby layette on February 9. Mrs. T. Larson and Mrs. A. Whitting made the presentation on behalf of the Kinsmen's Wives. Mrs. Watts served tea, and her lovely baby was admired by the ladies. ' The Kinsmen's Wives plan to make the layette an annual gift. *' SECIIELT. ��� Even the Liberal orgianizations can make mistakes, according to local Liberal Leader Capt. Andrew Johnston. Speaking ai the recent political meeting . in the Legion Hall, Johnston urged all Liberals to set to in mending broken fences, acquired through the years. "We have made mistakes and will probably make more," he said. "But we have the proper form of government in this country now and we, as Liberals., must see that Democracy remains here. It is the duty of us all to sell. Liberalism and proper representation to our neighbor. "The party has done good work and when it can claim such men as St. Laurent, Sinclair and McKenzie King, it must be of the right construction. '' He urged the various units within the McKenzie Riding to buckle down in order to "perpetuate' our form of government." Captain Johnston Lauds late King SECHELT. ��� Capt. Andrew Johnston, head of the McKenzie Riding Liberals aiid chairman of the recent "Sinclair Speaks" meeting in Legion Hall, paid verbal homage to the late King when he opened the meeting. The chairman pointed to the great 'work and self-effacing efforts made on behalf of his empire by King George VI during his reign. He told of the esteem in which he was held throughout the world and remarked on the deep personal sorrow fplt by all. spoke at a public meeting in Legion Hall, Friday. He outlined the work done by the various committees ofv the U.N. and the part played by Canada. in his role of' watcher during the Economic Council meetings, Mr. Sinclair sat for two weeks and listened to the speeches, "very few of which' were other than chances for the Russians to promote their own false propaganda." Urged on by the American delegate, and the British,, our member made his maiden speech and condemned the tissue of lies spread by the Soviet. He queried the much lauded '' Russian freedom,'' pointing out that in that land no one was allowed to leave of their own free will. "They have to escape from Russian freedom," he said. "They come out from Russia under garbage and manure piled on wagons; they steal trains and use every^ method to run or flee from*, this much vaunted freedom:,"' During the Russian's answer to this speech^ Mr. Sinclair was called a "liar and phlegmatic bull with a ring in his nose.."v ;.., ������������������ '.yy.:- v:.,:.v?.- - ������ -. ���'- ' '?He'described'vthe ' technical assistance given to various countries by UNESCO, telling of places where the rehabilita^ tion is one of self-help. "Canada's share of this' work comes to only one-thirtieth of what- it cost for last war, and this is the proper way in which to avoid wars," he said. \\ Part of the UNESCO work is to train, teachers who cair return and teach, the children of their own lands. He pointed out that in some countries with a very low sia'ndard of living, the ruling class is often against any change which would see the standards, within that country raise is another difficulty to face.

Plates will be issued between the hours of 9���12 a.m, everyday, excepting Sundays. Class A and B license holders should make a point of picking up- their licenses before the last- week in February. Forres for these licenses should be picked up and filled in prior to presentation at the issuing officii,, the R.C.M.P^ suggest, "This will speed up th" service to a- great extent," thr spokesman said.

The butterfly starts to warrant approving attention only when it is released from its bondage. The same will apply to the two lovely islands which lie protected and comfortable in the West Howe Sound. Both islands were once blessed with transportation and on this the people who came to live thereon relied. Then the means of egress was taken from them and the two islands started to slip back. The news from Victoria, regarding a transport system, to be supplied by Black Ball Ferries, is like the sun to the cocoon. Both islands can now stretch ,and grow and fill their destiny of supplying summer homes in peace and quiet. Only in such places can we, in this world of speed and hurry, find rest and the time to contemplate and become wise. News of the ferry service, which miay take the form of a Tymac class boat, has been heard, particularly on Gambier, with gladness and relief. Many families there have children and are working in the logging camps or at Andy's Bay, and they are' in need of the new service. The Government for same had to be secured from the Government and from- the Department of Health. This approval was slow coming, but I have been informed that it has now been secured. (3) The truck was also to be used in connection with the water department. In spite of all the publicity that was given to the purchase of the truck, there was only three people that appeared before the commissioners to protest its purchase, and these three people all represented local trucking concerns, who stood to lose work through its purchase. I maintained then, and I. still maintain, there was plenty work for. the truck; in filling the potholes in the road, and other necessary work ,t& hayec kept it busy. The fact that the.truck was not used fo do the work for which it was intended, is no argument against its purchase. And I predict that if it is sold, it will be purchased by one of the local trucking concerns at a "great Slaving to them, and will be used to do the work f orv which it was originally purchased; and instead of .the taxpayers getting the. work done at cost, they will have to pay cost plus profit to the new owners. I know of no other village Gower Gleanings BYi GYPSY TOWERS The G ower Point unit of the St. Bartholomew's W.A. held its regular monthly meeting at the new home of Mrs. Harry Thorne on Gower Point Road. Owing to inclement weather, the January meeting had to be postponed so a large percent- . age of the members turned up, , Thursday. The Reverend Hugh Oswald gave a special prayer for the- late King, and spoke with hope for the reign of the new sovereign Queen Elizabeth. A miniature rock garden made an attractive table centre for the. tea table, and Mrs. Oswald was asked to preside at the urn, when refreshments were served at the close of the business meeting. Mr. and Mrs. James Beaton duly arrived with their furniture, and? Sandy, and are en- deavcrihgvto adjust themselves and themf&dded equipment to what we^hope will be 4&eir permanent home.

The political pot is steaming gently with periodic eruptions forcasting the possibility of some mad boiling indicative of en election. There is much speculation and argument as to what house flag will* fly over the member for MacKenzie riding, once the rift in the Coalition party reaches. the . divorce stage. It's very interesting the number of people who seem to get their information right from the horse's, mouth. The only snag is that there are so many horses that those of us in, the grandstand have difficulty trying to figure out who has the inside track. They all look fairly convincing. One thing is certain, ihe tub-thumbing will not be lacking in vehemence. . While we may be uncertain as to which direction the political wind will blow, those in the Sechelt area'*'need have'no uncertainties as to! what will happen if their houses catch fire. With speed', calmness and utmost efficiency the Sechelt Volunteer Fire 'Brigade will put the fires ,out. This body of local citizens, with little or no publicity or outside help; has knit itself into a' working unit * of which we can be very proud. The fear is greatly minimized by the knowledge that the SFB is as good as it is. For their work in the past, and the calls of the future, Ave salute them. (I don't know a> thing about their financial affairs, but I bet that if the odd doll'ar was sent this way, they could use it for our benefit.) Today, Twelve took his last lunch to the sehool where his roots have been dug in for the past five yeays. By the time this comes off the press, _ he, and sixty other children, will have made four return trips to �� ihe new Elphinstone Junior- Senior High Schoolat Gibsons. .��� Undoubtedly this move will halve its effects. It is a long step along that road which leads to being grown up. Not in the time sense, but the learning to adjust to an alien world. New surroundngs, new faees and new routines. Some will adapt quickly, others slowly, depending on their individual ability to stand on their own feet. Their parents, too, will face a change in the order of things.7 Keeping a; weather eye on an off-spring by remote control will require more effort than it did when he or she was in comparatively close proximity. It* will need a greater effort to keep aware of how they are getting along generally, and to cope with any specific problems which might arise.' Nevertheless, we eon't live our children's lives for them, and it seems to me that this ' step into a larger world is being m'aide' in the easiest way possible. They go as a group, they go with staff members, who know them *in- dividually and collectively and they do come home to roost at the end of the day.

The bride chose a floor length dress of white satin with Peter Pan collar aud tight fitted bodice with long lily point sleeves with pearl beaded halo head-dress with flowing veil and carried red and white carnations. Bridesmaid was Fay Johann- spn of Cloverdale, who wore a pale blue floor length dress of ? organdie with cap sleeves and elbow length white kid gloves. She also wore a small white flower French chapeau and, shoulder length blue veil and carried pale pink carnations and white chrysanthemums. The best man was Pete Klassen, the brother of the . bride.

M. Maclntyre, MLA, disclosed that an aux- . iliary ferry service has beeu assured by top executives of the Blatek Ball* Ferries. "I was at a meeting of the Blaick' Ball Ferries,'' .wrote Colonel Maclntyre, "at which Colonel George Paulin, Captain A. Peabody and Mr. Muckley were present. There is no doubt they will be instituting a service to both Gambier and K^elats Islands in the immediate future." - Asked for his comments, Captain Drage, who ha's been negotiating for'' over ia year with both the Provincial Gov- ern»j3ent arid the Black" Ball Ferries, said, "the credit is due to Colonel Maclntyre." -He expressed appreciation of the very generous and courteous attitude displayed by both the government and the ferry company. "I have already had a conference with Mr. George Frith, manjager for Black Ball, who has a's yet, not received official instructions," the Gambier man said. "I found Mr. Frith extremely cooperative and' anxious to be of service as soon as he received the go aheiad signal from his company." It is believed the type of boat under consideration is one of the Tymac class, well known along the shores of Howe Sound. Equal distribution «>of calls for both Islands will probably be discussed. The suggestion has been made that calls on Galubier would be split between' ?Niew Brighton and Gambier Harbour. - Nothing ' official has been decided. It is understood that Drage is leaving for Victoria a's" soon as the legislature opens in order to tie in loose ends of this and other improvements for Gambier. Pasteurized Milk In Daily Delivery A new service, in the form of daily delivery of pasteurized [e milk, is now under way. AI Olson, A. Ericks.oii and A. Garry hove formed a company known asi the Peninsula - Dairy, and have been delivering pasteurized milk ill the Wilson Creek—Sechelt area . for more than a week. Friday will se'e the start of a' like service in Gibsons and district. Mr. Garry has operated this type of business before, having at one time sold pasteurized milk in White Rock. The company has two trucksi in operation now.

We arejvglad.to credit Goeffrey, even if it is a little late.' Ho Stigmas To Old Age Pension SECHELT. — Application of the new old age pension plan is built on the premise that it is each nation's duty to look after its own. Such was the manner of James Sinclair's defense of the plan when questioned at the public meeting, Friday. "Each person, via the contributory plan, helps to pay for his own pension, thereby doing, away with the*' false stigma of a 'means test'." '' Even the premier himself is taking the old a'ge pension," Mr. Sinclair told the meeting. "True, he will, have^ to return probably 90 per cent of it in income tax, but it is his right. to take the pension, and he has also set- an example to everyone." "When the old age pension was taken from general revenue," the M.P. said, then it. was up to the government to see that none but the needy were in receipt of the contry's money. >But under this system c each is contributing to his own old age and therefore is entitled to the pension." "This does away with any stigma or thought of charity in the idea," he said. "It is simply ia case of ea'ch getting their own contributions when they needs them most."
