Truck, Horses And Si On , Friday-, nighjtlast, two horses were killed when run into hy a truck on the Sechelt Highway ahout a mile and. a half West of Gibsons'. Joe Rushton's truck is badly damaged as a result of the accident, and is considered a total loss. c - - Joe was 'driving' into Gibsons on Friday evening, and along the V straight-away after ithe, Otto Bangeter corner, his lights picked up a hOrse on the road. He swung out to avoid hitting it, but evidently the horse decided upon the same course of action. When Joe's truck hit that horse, it swung off the pavement, striking a second horse which was walking alongside the pavement.. The force of this collision sent the truck crashing into a telephone pole, breaking it off at the base. The horses, property of Ernie Robinson, who/ operates a mill but of Hopkins Landing, liave been a familiar hazard\" to motorists all season, along this section of the highway. The loss of a team to Mr. Robinson will be a serious one. The loss of a truck to Mr. Rushton will be a more serious one, since it was his means of making a living. It is fortunate that no person was hurt in this accident, which left the roadside strewn with horses, truck fenders \"and hood, and a swinging phone pole. - Young Bobby Lamont of Gibsons was one of the big winners in the Kid-^ Derby on Saturday last, andis now the proud pos- sessor-of a brand new bike. He won the first in the Miscellaneous Fish group with a truly prodigious catch. Bobby- ,, came up^with a skate that tipped; the-\"scales at ��8\"3?!Jpownds.' \"' According to Pintail, there Vere other winners from this are.a, and as soon *as the> names are available, they will be published. There were many enthusiastic youthful fishermen, and their catches were weighed- in at Smitty's. The. top fish were ticketed and taken to Vancouver, to be entered along with those from other areas. edit wwm win feet Acasiainted Bai teSriRilf purely Informal ' Sechelt Firemen^ played real ball on Tuesday eyelhirigi to oust the Pender Club from the running.

His side-line comments added greatly to the game. The Firemen and Wilson Creek will meet on Thursday evening at 6:30 p.m. sharp, at the Reserve Grounds in Sechelt. This should be the top of the season for the JMid-Peninsula League. ~ -s-h**.. Gibson News Mr. G.B. Smith of the S.S. Catala staff dropped in to the Coast News Office this week, to meet friends and discuss the weather. He has been surprised at the many cool nights this ���season, tripping up and down the Coast. The passenger business has been very good for the season, he says, and the holiday jaunt is a very popular one with the visitors from the United States. A larger percent of our own vacationers have been getting 'acquainted with their own coast through these coastal cruises.

Every community in every young country evidently screams to its parent, government for roads. Highways, secondary roads, and side roads are all a part of the scheme. In British Columbia, there are still so very many miles of roads awaiting original construction, reconstruction, and improvement that the task becomes prodigious. The Government News for August reports 1^42.55 miles of road under construction or re-construction at present, of which the Port Mellon effort is a part. We believe that as taxpayers it is in order to express the pious hope that (a) the other few miles are completed a little faster, and (b) that they do not cost any more per mile to build. Public monies are more easily spent than raised, and we who pay the piper should be assured that those tendering for contracts as well as those awarding them are not suffering from too much in the way of the astronomical in their computation of figures. -N An Open Letter ...

We would like to suggest from our comfortable easy chair, with our smoke curling undisturbed to the ceiling, that there might well be sections devoted to something like a Pender Display, a Roberts Creek display, a Sechelt or a Hopkins display, in any one class, or in a group of entries. CouLd there not be a community display of, say, a. dozen specified kinds of flowers, vegetables, items of homecraft, and art? Could not stalls be set up for these, and . the arranging and decorating pt same be the work of members of that community? This in addition to individual entries' from these . points. The type of-,display of materials from older days could be expanded into a.kind of Museum for the Day. The Fair should grow, from ��year to year, and as we see it, the only way it can expand is to interest other communities, and to expand the range of classes. We admit to being artists at thinking up more work for someone else to do, but we do believe in the Fall Fair as a community endeavour, and if more individuals in the community will interest themselves and help with ideas too, the Fair cannot help but grow and continue successful.

That way, they say, you avoid being caught off- base by an unseasonable drop in temperature, and you can take advantage of off-season prices. Furthermore, you can get it all at once and bone-dry to boot. Of course, the good old summertime leaves many people short of funds. If that is your problem, call on Tom Larson, manager of the Gibsons Bank of Montreal, and discuss a B of M CoaJ Loan* Its cost is very low. It's convenient, too, because you repay by easy instalments that can stretch as far ahead'as next April. It's the B of M's business to lend you money, if it is good business for you to borrow. Remember, when you ask for a loan at the B of M, you do not ask a favour. If you are in a position to' xepay out of income without strain on your budget, the bank is glad to lend you money for any useful purpose. Advt.

In 1915-16 we took some hay .up to a man for his horses. He was frozen in, and there was 6 inches of ice from Bear Point up to the dock. The mill must have started soon after that*as it was operating in 17-18 because we took the Spanish influenza victims up; there from-^Gibsons and most of them never came back. It closed some time after that to upen at various intervals with the usual dire results: -'^y , Finally the Vancouver Kraft Co. opened it, and ran it till 1929, but it was closed through the hungry thirties. In 1937 it was forced to ��� suspend only to start ��� up in August the same year. In 1939 the Vancouver Kraft interests were sold and it was then idle for two years. Some time later the Sorg. Pulp Co. appeared and they ran the mill for some considerable time and spent the most money on rehabilitation of any.

A few sprigs of local color are in order in the fairly long history of the place known as Khay- kul-hun, the Indianvname for it, the meaning of which is lost in the mists Of time.

One old chap had pre-empted there, and had put up the usual type of buildings and cleared some ground. He did not like the Indians anyhow, and being one of the^alt of the earth, was very definite about property rights, etc., and he got into his head that the beach and the .water were his too. It was the usual thing for the Indians to get an easy fish by prowling after dark with a canoe and a torch attached to the bow and spear a few steelhe'ads. These are one fish that will come up to a light. i, Our friend had warned t��hem off several times before, and^this particular night he thought they were a bit brusque with him, so he unloaded two barrels of bird- shot into them and the war was on. ... v One can readily imagine the uproar and confusion. Anyway away they went, to be back immediately with an old 44 rifle with which they beseiged the shack and fired a few rounds into the walls. The old man showed me the slugs he had dug out afterwards. The battle was a draw, as the old. man nailed up the shack and departed before dawn by rowboat and did not return for 5 years. The Indians by then had given up coming to that reserve.

Last Thursday, Selma Park reversed previous results by holding Wilson Creek scoreless in a good well played game. Eric Lindwall, who pitched the shutout for Selma, and Bernie Has- kins with his smart fielding were the outstanding players. From the fan point - oL view, Don Caldwell for Wilson Creek .pitched a good game, and had he had the team support, the score would have been closer. YAn unhappy fumble or two for Wilson Creek, some weakness at first and second, met by snappy play by Selma under their new coach,; Chick Moorehouse, spelled \"Win\" for Selma. Crippled players on the Pender team did not prevent them holding the' big end of the 8-7 score with the.Sechelt Firemen, played at the Reserve Grounds in Sechelt last Tuesday. The Firemen played hard, but not well enough. Pender, despite a first baseman with \"ah arm injury received at the Regatta, held their own handily, and despite the basketball score, showed better form.

BLACK, Manager 750 Granville Street ��� ��� ���'��� ��� I I ��� popular support down WHILE much publicity has attended; the increase in Socialist CCF repre-' sentation of British Columbia in the Federal Parliament --\\ an increase from 3 seats in 1949 to 7 in 1953 ���- it is surprising that one significant fact has escaped attention: 'Thei Socialist vote in !B. C. actually dropped from 31.5 per cent in 1949 to about 25.5 in 1953. For Canada as a whole the Socialist CCF vote appears to have' ���shrunk from 13.38 obtained in 1949 to approximately 12.3 per cent in 1953. Once more, Socialist strength was; drawn almost wholly from two provinces ��� Saskatchewan and British Columbia. East of the Great Lakes, in the industrialized heart of Canada and throughout the Maritimes, only two Socialists were elected, one in Ontario and one in Nova! Scotia. Alberta, like Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland, elected none. Any assumption that increased Socialist representation in Parliament was the result of greater popular support is NOT borne out by the facts. The trend in Canada continues away from the theory of government-run-every thing. BRITISH COLUMBIA , FEDERATION OF TRADE & INDUSTRY ��� i Opened byy,the,president, Mrsr E.J. Shaw, the sale of fancy; work, novelties and home cooking got off to a good start at 8 o'clock. Tea- was served at 9:30 and was followed by Bingo. The wool blanket was won by ticket no. 75, held by Mrs. G, Hunter. Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Shaw, 25 years wed, celebrated their anniversary last Week. Relatives jErohi out of town arrived to felicitate this popular pair, as did friends and neighbours; During the afternoon and evening they came by diies, twos arid more to be hospitably welcoirted with the ever-ready cup of tea. . Alan-FoulkeSj-RCAF, stationed at St. Huberts,\" Quebec, leaves for Germany this^week. His wife the former Mamie Boulter to whom he was ^married in June, will remain in Gloverdale with her parents until his return. Alan is the son of Mrs. Eileen , Foulkes and is well known on the Peninsula. Funeral service was held in Burrard Funeral Chapel on the 27th for John Mann who had been a resident on Beach Ave. for the past five years. He leaves a son and two daughters.\" The 30th turned out to be somewhat rough and choppy day for the local salmon Derby, sponsored by the Legion. There were many participants and also interested spectators at the weighing in. Mrs. Robert Cum- mings did a good business with i' the coffee stall. \"Of the prize winners Herb Berdahl came 1st with a salmon weighing 91b 15 f- oz., and was awarded a glass rod and reel. John Mathew's fish, 81b V_oz., won him a cane rod and Joyce Nield won a car blanket with a fish weighing 71b 8oz. One summer visitor who is not complaining about the lack of. fish is Ed Pinkerton, who with his wife and two boys, is vacationing on Beach Ave. Without the; aid of^gaf. or net?- he successfully landed a 31 lb Spring. But not on the 30th. Stan Fallowes also chose the wrong day to haul in a 19 pounder. The garden furniture, consisting of actable and 4 chairs, raffled, by the Improvement Society to pay ofi the loan on- the fire truck, was won by ..Mrs. C F Haslam. Drawing for. the furn- iture took place at the Hall* Board dance Saturday night. According to one summer visitor from California, the curve approaching Twin Bridges, should be named Suicide Point. He thinks this part of the road1 approaching from the West, is the most dangerous of any on the Peninsula and he prophesies plenty of trouble when the' rainy season starts. Norma Wallis and her friend, Ollie Fotty, both on leave from the Air Force, are visiting at the Wallis home and will leave this week for Ollie's home in Athabaska for a stay before taking up their duies in Ontario. Norma is still enthusiastic about the Air Force. Folks are packing up and leaving us these days.

My acquaintance with Mr. Cates ripened somewhat when I nearly drank his glass eye, and *\" this was the way of it. The eye was a bit of a nuisance no doubt, and George would ease the situation a bit by putting the ��ye in a glass of water and wear a patch for the time being. It was S hot day and we came in to use the phone and while waiting fo* connection we needed a drink and there was no water. Mrs. Cates said George was down at the wheel, which meant the small hydro he had, and maybe there would be water .soon\". However the kitchen was some* what dark and I saw this glass with water in it on the kitchen drainboard and tipped it up. While saying something to Mrs. Cates, I saw the horrorstruck look come on her face just before the glass eye rolled from the bottom of the glass and touched my lips. At this moment Mr. Cates came in and took in the situation at a glance and said, \"Mr. I should have been in a hell of a fix if you had swallowed it.\" They had the summer resort known as Seaside Park for many years and both Union and CPR Steamships took large outings up there from time to time. Those things are of the past. For the future, we hope that the road will always- be open and that the mill will have a long life and many years of profitable Operation. ���L. S.

Selma tightened up every department, and on the night's play, looked as though they would be the first, team to have their names inscribed on the Osborne trophy. The third and final game completely reversed the picture, although Selma took a two-run lead early in the game, it was very obvious, that they were not a consistant team. Although they played good hall, they didn't have what it takes to win the round. We must congratulate Wilson Creek in winning two games out of three, and wish them'the best of luck in the finals. T think special mention should be. made of Tommy Reynolds, and Eddie Lenieuix, pitcher and right field, these two stalwarts, did give Yeoman service. Johnson; cup and saucer, Mr. J. Dykes; prize winning tea cloth, Mrs. Hermiston. ROBERTS CREEK Something -fishy about that ���salmon derby on Sunday- John. Matthews has a, heap red face and calls himself an Indian giver..
