Three weeks ago Vince's first large shipment of clothing stocks arrived, and there was much planning and re-arranging to get the most value for the space at hand. Vince feels that he is now all set for a good summer, and has everything under way to give the kind of service he feels such a business deserves.

Jones, and Samuel Palumbo, son of Mr. and Mrs Samuel Pal- umbo of McMurdo, B.C: was solemnised at St. Mary's Church, the Rev. Father Kenney officiated. ��� It was a lovely ceremony, with all the attendants,.gowned in soft April colors. The6bride wore' a gown of white sheer, with a floor length veil, and the bridesmaids, Miss Joyce Connor and Miss Lila Farnham were also in sheer, one plaest pink, and one soft blue. The maid of honor, Frances Jones, the brides young- lister/ was in dainty yellow taffeta. Clarence Palumbo was the Best \"Man, and the Bride wos given away by her brother, Ralph Jones, of Golden. Members^ of both the Brides and Groom's families were in Gibsons for the . wedding, and remained to enjoy a short holiday here. The youngs.,couple left for Seattle, from were they plan to drive east\" to Saskatchewan before returning to their new home in McMurdo. Other out of town visitors for the day were Mr. and Mrs. Reiter from Pender Harbour, and their family. ��� . Following the wedding, a small reception was held at the home of Mrs. Jones. chests i nest Speaker Tel itimat ?r ogres In response to the request and demands of several responsible citizens and citizens1 bodies in the locality, the Coast News on Wednesday contacted Mr. Doug Welsh, one of the partners of the Mar- well Construction Company, ,to try to discover what was the, program and intention of the Company in regard to the Port Mellon Road. I Mr. Welsh reports there are ~ ~*~ several conditions and facts to contend with in the area through which the road passes that are rather unusual in B.C. Road building, and that due to these conditions, the Department of Public Works had advised Mar- well Construction to halt *their building program temporarily, to await improvement of at least some of these adverse conditions. The cost to both the Company and the Government was mounting to prohibitive proportions, to continue attempts at construction when the unusually wet weather was accompanied by a: frost free winter, making use of existing materials impossible. According to Mr. Welsh, the material available at the site of the construction is very poor when one considers that the specifications call for the completion of a number one highway, and not a logging road. : In addition to this, he went on, the long fire season last summer prevented, the removal of the 'timber etc., from the; - right of way, and due. to that delay^ the .removal of debris ran onlinto the , fall, pushing,^ct^ak,c^str^1;ipn., .' further- hkfi^iM^'^^eifr^^^ s_eason. Mr. Welsh contends that Mar- well Construction Company has more equipment per mile right on the road waiting towork than -on any similar piece of highway construction in B.C., and that the Company is faced with continually rising costs. Therefore, they are, he said, just as anxious to see the road completed as the people who would use it. . On Friday this week, April 10th, the Engineers are due in Gibsons, to check on the amount of improvements in earth conditions, and if there has. been .sufficient drying, the work will recommence next week. If the conditions have sufficiently improved, it will not take Marwell Construction long to complete the short amount of the road that isleft, and,Mr. Welsh assures Coast News that this will be one of the Company's happiest moments. BOARD OF TRADE INQUIRY In reply to a letter from, the Gibsons Board of Trade, N.M.- MacCallum, Divisional Engineer istates that \"Work should recommence about the midle of April, and it is expected should be completed about the middle of July.\" He goes on to state that this Port Mellon Road runs through extremely difficult terrain, and that the Department will be just as pleased to see the work completed as the residents will be. At the 'Village' at Sechelt this week, the Native Sisterhood held a. very successful tea and Sale of Work, convened by Mrs. Ernie Joe and Mrs. Art Jeffries. Raffle tickets sold by Bernadette Joe netted prizes for Ernie Peason, Mrs. A. Louis, and third, No. 322 is as yet unclaimed. ��� A day of sports was part of the program, with baseball in the afternoon and dancing in the evening. At the Board of Trade meet- ing in Sechelt on March 25th, the guest speaker of the evening was Mr. George G. Vincent, of the Aluminum Company of Canada, Ltd. He spoke of the progress of the .development, and stated that production would start in the spring of 1954. The commencement of production there will make Canada the -largest producer of aluminum in the world, with Kitimat the largest promotion unit. Kitimat, he stressed, woulcf not be a 'company town', but would be a self-governing municipality, with the greatest possible encouragement extended to other industries to locate there ,and take advantage of the huge power production there. it is hoped, Mr. Vincent said;,, thatv..-'a piilp and paper plant.; ��� would*-be ideated there/'as weii;: as other highly important and* valuable industries. : Mr. Vincent dealt with'some- ���pf the, criticisms being levelled at the Alcan Development upon the park' and the wild life there,. Pie states that only two percent': iof the Tweedsmuir Park area* will be- affected by the power development, and that as far as the Beaver were concerned, the- report of James Hatter of the B.C. Provincial Government Game Departmen indicated that the annual beaver harvest since 1936, including that of both, white and-Indian trappers, could; not have exceeded $150.00 in? value. The enormous value ��� of this plant development to the Province ought to more than offset, this loss. This coming season, there will' .be between eight and ten thousand men employed on the job* The great tunnel, half a mile inside the mountain is almost completed. This tunnel is 1100' feet long, 100 feet high, and 80* feet wide. Mr. Vincent commented upon the fact that his company ancT the Provincial Government had .signed a very real agreement,. snd that both signatories at present were living up to it. -���������������- \"' \" ���*��� ������������ ..-III.. .1 ��� I il ���...��� I M|��J Social Credit Leagise Meetings wDI be held in every area of the Peninsula next week, starting with Gibsons on Monday, April 13th, and concluding at Half Moon Bay on Saturday, April 18th.

Phone Gibsons 45W / ���SSox 6, Gibsons. British Columbia lie School f^ During the last few weeks, in travelling about this area, we liave been regaled with many conflicting opinions upon our Paper. The biggest and most contentious subject at the moment is that of the School Page. We like to print it, because we are greatly interested in the activities of the Schools and the Students. It has been our belief that most readers, whether they have chldren who are in attendance or not, are also interested in the doings of the young people. The tax-payers of the area have reason to be interested in the buildings themselves, in the staffs who teach in them, who care for the children and who care for the physical structures too. , Many readers have told us that we devote too much space to this subject. Others think we should have items written by adults. usho are connected with the schools, as teachers, trustees, or anybody else who is actively occupied with the schools. Other readers believe we should not have a schoole^age at all. They simply are not interested, and don't see why we should devote lialf one of our eight pages���or more, as happened last week���to the subject. We would very much like to have phone calls, letters, or verbal expressions of opinion on the matter from anyone who is interested, eithecpro or con. Meantime, this week we publish the winning essay on \"Industries on the Peninsula\" by one of the fourteen_or ���younger group. Reader's Ri COMMENTS ON ESSAY Editor, The Coast News, JSIr :��� ��� r ��ja reading with pleasure the interesting essay by Jeff Newman, I could not help but notice1 the following: \"The year.55 B.C. brought the great general, Julius Caesar to the shores of Britain. Within a century he had succeeded in conquering the island.\" This is incorrect. Julius had a, few whacks at it, but found the British tribes good and tough. JLed by a chieftainess, Boadicea, the British twice burned the ZEtoman London to the ground. ^Julius Caesar returned to Rome and died, and it was not until the year 44 A.D. that Claudius Caesar included DeBritt into the Homan, Empire. When contemplating crossing the English Channel,- Claudius found he had a mutinous army on his hands, as the troops declined to leave the known world. After pacifying his army, in the autumn of 43 A.D., Claudius sent about forty thousand men to England, with instructions tot his general not to bring things to a final defeat before calling Mm from Rome. The message came, and Claudius set off with a great retinue, including the Praetorian Guard, elephants -with howdahs and black mahouts. The defeat of the British took place at Colchester and; the chieftain, Caractacus, was taken -'���' to Rome in chains. On reaching, Rome;-;\\ Claudius put on a \"See; ; .^hat $ ve,;dohe\" gala (Sity; f or the �� populace, Caractacus walking in the procession in chains. Regarding the accents and dialects, does Mr. Newman take the standpoint that he speaks good English and others, we'll gay in -London, Cape Town: or Sydney do not? Again,' if I may take you to the trial of our Lord, a young maid heard Peter speaking and said, \"Surely thou art *a Galilean for thy speech betray- eth thee.\" And, as the little London cockney said to the Yank, \"We don't sye (say) 'Were am I at?' We sye, 'Were is my 'at?'. Again thanking Mr. Newman for. his interesting essay. Edward J. Atlee PuSd Plants Use Sawmill Waste With news of pulp plants projected for the interior of the province .it is interesting to see how material on the coast that was fromerly considered waste is now utilized. Of the 211,000 tons of Kraft pulp produced in 1951, eighty-^ five percent offline raw material ���wa\"s derived from sawmill waste. ��� Smaller sawmills which are within trucking distance of large mills, are now selling their waste which, formerly would have been destined for the burner and theplywood mills now are virtually waste free. All of this is good forest conservation practice. In order to give recognition to persons who have, by, their example personified the golden rule, the Gibsons and District Board of Trade will present annually a Good Citizenship Award Decision to do so was made at the recent general meeting. % Several names have already been forwarded to the committee, for ; approval and investigation but it. is felt that a good number of our more' generous citizens are hiding their light. This award will hot be made lightly and in order to have fair and equitable choice it is necessary to have as wide a range, of candidates as there are good - citizens. The area . covered by this award will be bounded by the Hopkins ,; Landing , district and that of Roberts Creek. Any person,' man or woman*is' /eligible. It may be pointed out at this time that the candidates themselves will, naturally, be reluctant to; proffer their names so this duty will fall on the fehoulders mil IMKffflf SWIBKim Make your own test!

BC A A Suggests The Canadian g^ing across the line to the United States is only allowed to. purchase, duty-free, One Hundred Dollars worth of goods. \"It is time the One Hundred. Dollars of duty-free purchases was raised,\" said Mr. Clark .v Simpkins: at <'; a director's meeting of the B.C. Automobile /Association; \"It is absurd that Gapadian tourists returning to their own country are allowed to bring back only; the same amount of duty-free goods as they did in 1936; #e all know that One Hundred Dollars in 1953 buys half; of; what it did in '36. The ���D!b:;ii*a>;.^yalue^;;ii.ais. shrunk. Prices have gone jup and the federal Government has made no change in an out of date customs regulation.\" ��'The BCAA feels,^ and rightly so,\" went on Mr. Simp k^jja s, \"'that a Canadian tourist shbtiid have the^prjyiiege of purchasing more goods if he so desires' arid bringing them back duty free. One Hundred Dollars today barely purchases a few gifts for the family arid the odd souvenir. Why should Canadian travelers have to abide by a regulation that was made 17 years ago? Today the amount is far too low for duty-free purchases and should be raised to bring it up to a value more on a par with: the 1953 Dollar.\" sprays or powders. Two years ago we challenged a. lady to try our ideas on a bed that would not grow anything, not even earthworms,; in spite of huge doses of fertilizer. We advised a thin covering of compost from a neighbor's heap' and a heavy mulch of - crushed leaves, peat moss and bracken. Last month came a chance to revisit, and what a. change in that garden bed. Three or four inches of nice dark loam that would delight any v gardener; while the large vegetable garden under her husband's care, is on its way to near perfect soil. Some wag compared a compost heap to a goat; they would both eat anything, even tin cans. This was a libel on the goat, Thursday April 9, 1953 The Coast News 3 which is a most clean and careful feeder. But we get vexed when people still waste twigs, leaves ,eggshells, scraps of wool and cotton and citrus skins, and yet complain the they cannot get stuff for a compost box. Eggshells, dried and powdered, are often1 better than lime. July bracken is full of nourishment, and a compost, heap makes a small quantity of animal wanure go a long, long way. If you cannot cover the entire garden with compost, do try it on one or two beds, or tuck a shovel full around treasured! plants. iti' -Ji. ��iya>.�� BUT WE TACKED A COLLEGE DEGREE RIGHT INTO OUR BUDGET-PLAN r Well, I simply mean that young Doug is going to get what I've always missed. I'd have a better job in my company today if my family had been able to give me a college education. It happened a year ago. Maisie and I had just about given up the idea as hopeless. Doug had just started high school, which meant a good deal of expense, and then he fell desperately ill with rheumatic fever. Our debts had us crippled. Then one day, when I was cashing my pay-cheque at the bank, I happened to get into conversation with the Accountant ���-chap called Henry Baldwin who goes to our church.... and before I knew it I was pouring out my troubles. He asked me a few questions about my job, my salary... if I had any securities or life insurance. I told him I had no bonds, left, but did have a bit,of insurance X took out when we got married. - Pretty soon ��� to my surprise ��� Baldwin came up with what seemed like a solution to my immediate problem ���how to meet my pressing bills. Something I'd never thought of ��� my 15-year old insurance policy had quite a good cash surrender value, which Baldwin said was first-class security for a personal loan. \"But how am I going to pay off a loan?\" I asked. \"We seem to need every cent I earn just to make , ends meet.\" \"You can probably do better than that, I think... if you really want to,\" said Baldwin. \"But,\", ht added, \"you've got to have*: a real- budget-plan to do; it.\" Next thing I knew he was telling me how to go about it. Told toe some things about money management I'd never thought of before... and he gave me one of the bank's booklets called \"Personal Planning\" outlining his ideas in detail. Next day, Maisie and I pulled out of the doldrums for the first time in months. Hopefully, we went to the B of M together and saw Henry Baldwin. Got a $300 Joan fixed up, and right: then and there opened a joint account. Boy, that account's been working overtime ever since.. .- first paying bills with the loan we got, and then getting regular deposits ��� not just to pay off the loan, but to really save money.. We were mighty relieved to get that bank loan a year ago,, but I think we're more thankful for what we learned when we were in a jam���that we really could save dough if we made up our minds to it and got a -really practical budget-plan: :# working for us. Personal Planning has given us that ...and let me tell you that boy's going to college ��� for sure. Saving is the only way to move ahead of your worries, and stay ahead. And'���sometimes ��� borrowing at the Bof M is the best way to save. Find out how to save despite today's.high prices. Ask for your copy of \"Personal Planning\" at your neighborhood B of M branch.

This Peninsula, which is only a pin promt on a map, was founded by a few pioneer set-, lers -in -the -1880's -and -began developing it. In the early days our forefathers logged, fished, farmed and built a glue factory at a point [which is now Gibson's Landing and Sechelt districts;. instead of horses feet they used dog-fish as the raw material. To earn their living in the Pender Harbour area they fished and dug oysters, while at Port Mellon and surrounding areas they built a Pulp Mil, discovered a gravel pit, fished and logged. Many of these industries have petered out, for instance the glue factory at Gibson's Landing, much of the farming and some of the fishing in most areas, although the two former are operating on a small scale. At present there have been a few additions such as merchandising in all regions and tourist trade chiefly at Sechelt, Selma Park, and Pender Harbour. l The pulp mill in Port Mellon, the first one in British Columbia, the gravel pit in Hillside' and the logging centres of Long View, Gibson's Landing, Roberts Creek , and some lesser areas on the Sechelt Peninsula Have improved; a great deal. ���A, recent logging camp ' near Twin CreekS; iscwell ..underway with a bright future ahead. There is also a road from Port Mellon, to Gibsons Landing amden construction, and when this project is completed, it Should bring more tourist trade, for one will be able to travel by vehicle from Port Melon to Pender\" Harbour. The future reveals much if we could only begin such industries as centrajl water power for electricity and water, improve agriculture, logging, mills and increase tourist trade. These must be broadened to really indicate this Peninsula's needs and possibilities. First of all there should be a central water power system near Gibson's Landing to supply it's near districts west of Gibson's. A central system at Port Mellon to supply Longview and Hillside with electricity and water; there should also be one at Pender Harbour to provide electricity and water for its^ territory. Even though thejpe is only approximately a few miles from the sea shore to the mountains, there is enough generally flat. land to have mixed farming. If we had this on every place possible on the peninsula, we could probably be exporting berries, green vegetables, small fruits, eggs and milk instead o�� importing them. We already have* several farms, but several i&.iiot enough.- . *%���'���'���������/. , *:�� As far as logging goes, it is pretty W&ll underway, although there could be Several small saw-. mills where logging is heaviest to produce lumber and the left overs for fuel. We have enough trees, why not give it a try. British Columbia is a beautiful province, especially the coast. Its rugged snow-capped mountains, its gigantic trees and its sparkling waters, makes it all in all a perfect tourist locale.
