Turnout is disappointing According to.British Columbia Boy Scout officials who arrang; ed a training course for adults at the Wilson Creek Community- Hall on Feb. 26, the turn-out was disappointingly small. Members of the Sechelt Peninsula Boy Scout Association believe that the poor response is-due to lack of parental interest. As had been advertised the one night instruction course was to have given adults an insight on the responsibilities and duties oi the local Group Committees and sponsors, also the proper method of their operation.

For the official opening, the entire body of representatives gathered in the assembly hall. Students representing schools from Vancouver, the lower mainland and two Washington state colleges were introduced to the sponsors, members of the local United Nations Organization, and the two U.B.C. students, acting president and secretary of state of the general assembly. Council meetings, in which resolutions were passed to be presented in the assembly, were followed by a recess. Saturday's proceedings began with the reading of the preamble to the U.N. Charter, and the gen. eral assembly convened. The discussions following I'm sure would have'impressed even the person well versed on world affairs. A special resolution, automatically passed, was presented by Israel: that the assembly, instead of following usual procedure, should- observe one minute of silence in memory of the late secretary of state, Dag Ham- -marskjold. Resolutions were presented considering the Berlin crisis, payment of fees, modification of international travel restrictions, Want to ml\" A move to promote curling on the Sunshine Coast is being proposed by the Kiwanis club of Gibsons.

Of all resolutions put forth, the most enlightening read as follows: Be it resolved that the United Nations sponsor an international food bank. The ensuing discussion and the complete majority vote in favor, clearly illustrated the general attitude of the delegates towards such constructive measures striving for world peace. Adjourning at 5:30 p'lm.,' the delegates attended a banquet and then were entertained by an inspiring speech by the principal of John Oliver High school, who pointed out that until national prejudice was abandoned, we must' strive towards peaceful means of solving world problems A dance followed and the delegates dispersed with the general impression of a job well done. The United Nations' key principle of international co-operation complements the spirit of this new age that seeks advances in all fields of human endeavour ��� political, economic, social and cultural. The late Dag Hanimarskjold said: ''Young people are specifically involved in this challenge, for the future will largely be in their keeping. I am confident they will accept the challenge and that, in so doiifg, they will find the United Nations a subject worthy of their most serious study, a cause deserving of their support, and an ideal that matches their youthful faith and enthusiasm.\" ��� Carol Moorhouse CCF-NDP MEETING A meeting of Pender Harbour CCF-NDP club will be held Friday, March 9 in Halfmoon Bay poolroom.

The executive committee of the HSP Employees' Charity Fund met on Feb: 21 for the annual meeting to receive . the financial report for 1961 and to dk cuss budget and allocation c. funds for the current. year. The report submitted by the secretary treasurer showed the fund in another successful year, had fulfilled all the functions for \"which it was established, f Total number of contributors to the fund duringl961 was 295, up from 249 in 1960. On Jan. 1, 1962 there were 282> contribu- ktorsyon*_ the payEoll^<210^n: Jan.. ' 1, 1961) which amounts, at present to almost 90% participation. The committee f- members feeL however, that another attempt should be made to appeal again to those . employees who still .stand aside, and to bring them into the scheme. It remains the aim of the committee to have a participation of as. close to 100% ��� as is possible. Contributions collected on payroll reductions during 1961 am cunted to $2,138, which together with the balance of $162.56 carried forward from 1960 and $1.43 bank interest made $2,301.99 available for distribution to charitable organizations. The following donations were made by the Charity Fund during 1961: Kinsmen Polio Fund $150 B.C. Heart Soundation $150 Kiwanis Easter Seals $150 Red Cross $150 Mt.

'. and the resulting increase in funds the list of charitable organizations, benefitting from the fund should be increased or the individual contributions to the organizations already on the list. It was decided the list of char-\" itable organizations should not be increased at this time, as j��� was felt a better effort could be ��� achieved by fewer but larger contributions,than by dissipating the money .on a larger number of small but ineffectual dona--A tions. Therefore the standard contributions to individual charitable organizations ..oni,, the .fund's^list ' Will te increased lo $175:Tor 1962 \" from $150 and in special cases fa $200 on the committee's approval if funds are available, any balance remaining in the bank at year's end to go to St. Mary's Hospital, again conforming with the fund's aim of distributing all available money in the same year during which it has been collected. No change in the membership of the committee will take place in 1962, Local 297 having confirmed their members again for the current year. Mr. C.

A life-long process Education is a life-long process ��� it is never completed, never broad enough, never deep enough, never comprehensive enough. Any man who ceases to have intellectual curiosity, who refuses to exploit to the full his intellectual endowment is the poorer. In some ways such a man loses his own dignity, for the impoverished mind fails to perceive the richness and the wonder of the physical and mental world. Education must always be thought of as continuing throughout our lives; when formal programs of studies are completed only a beginning has been made. The real challenge and rewards still lie ahead for every man and every woman who is willing to seek wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. ��� Dr. N. A. M. MacKenzie, president, U.B.C., in an Education Week message. Credit for Sechelt Sechelt's Board of Trade has found itself in the position where it can take considerable credit for having brought to the attention of government officials the need for improved ferry service to this section of the Sunshine Coast. The board's annual meeting, with Ron Worley, assistant manager of the government ferry system as speaker, gave Mr. Worley a chance to speak to people of this area on ferry transportation. It also gave him a chance to plumb the depths of area thinking on requirements for today and the future. ;��� He apparently learned a great deal which was not quite realized by the new ferry management. The impact of that realization was of sufficient force to reach Premier Bennett who without hesitation ordered a new minimum 80-car ferry to be built for the run to Langdale. Sechelt board's activity in this situation should not detract from the work of other organizations who have made numerous appeals to ferry authorities. They laid a groundwork which, while not acted un completely by the former management, did build up a pressure which allowed Sechelt's board officials to really speak without pulling any punches. It will be a pleasant day when complaints about ferry transportation will be fewer. In the meantime some disappointments will occur until the transition towards an improved system becomes a realization. Members of Sechelt's Board of Trade can rest assured that members of other organizations who have made protests about ferry transportation, are quite happy that someone was able to get the message across and in the right direction. Way back in 1900! You may not have heard via today's TV medicine men about Mile. Aimee's face bleach that absolutely and permanently removes freckles, tan, sunburn, pimples, blotches, blackheads, sallowness and many other facial disturbances. Neither have you heard of Dr. Alice B. Stockham's Tokology, a book with unequalled advice for every woman and next to the Bible the best book ever written. TV medicine men have not yet got around to advocating sarsa- parilla to cure catarrh, scrofula, salt rheum, pimples and humors. Four Preparations (nameless) cure consumption, weak lungs, bronchitis, catarrh, coughs; cold, throat troubles and wasting away, whatever that is. Dr. Slocum advises a course of these Four Preparations ��� free. ... Dr. J. M. Peebles offers psychic treatments which to a patient seems as a breath of higher life. Then an offer is made for a free, trial package of a grand remedy to cure your husband of drunkenness. Also there is the cure for tobacco addicts even after 40 year addiction. The sweeping statements above could be attributed to the high- priced TV medicine men of today. However they originated long before they were born. Further delving into the attic of the original Gibson family home next to the Coast News office brought forth a copy of a ��� publication dated June, 1900.- It is called Good Literature and had a circulation of 307,000 copies monthly. It cost 35 cents a year in advance arid could be obtained at 25 cents a year in clubs of four subscribers. Even those days saw colored covers but not slick color. The discovered copy was mailed to Mrs. G. W. Gibson, Howe Sound, B.C., Canada. But to get back to the medicine men on today's TV. Spiels do not seem to have changed. Only the names of products and manufacturers differ. As a one-line advertisement one learns from the magazine that Hood's pills cure sick headache, indigestion, 25c. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? There is not much new in the medicine man pitch. Educators today find themselves in a precarious position in Canada. The nation in a single decade appears to be turning to its educational system for a solution to its great unemployment problem. * * * Kirii Mcllroy, chairman, National Public Relations committee, Canadian Conference.'on Education, reports that of every 100 Canadian boys and girls who enter grade two, only nine will enter university, according to a study prepared for the second Canadian Conference on Education, in Montreal this week. Of the nine who enter college, only six will graduate and one will succeed in obtaining a master's degree. This is only one example cited by the study of the extent to which Canada is wasting its stu-, dent potential. University authorities estimate that about 30 percent of students have the mental ability to profit from four years at college, so that something less than one-third of those who should be receiving higher education are availing themselves of it. What causes this tragically wasteful drop-out? According to the study, there are varied reasons, which appear frequently in any assessment, of the problem and its solution. The first of these is the lack of effective \"parental guidance. Another cause of drop-out is lack of motivation. Taking an unexpected last place among major reasons for leaving school, the study finds, is lack of money. While schooling to the end of the secondary level in largely free, the need of the family, for additional breadwinners may become a cause for drop-out. Nonetheless, the study concludes, in a period of full employment it is often the lure of high wages rather than family distress which * * * causes the student to go to work. The National Editorial committee of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association with C. Irwin Mcintosh of North Battle- ford, Sask., as chairman added this viewpoint: In Canada today the great majority of unemployed Citizens have a bleak outlook. Many of therii didn't get to high school and the great majority of those who did had only a few years or months of secondary education. To top this off they did not acquire any trade or skill after their formal education. Thus it is the unskilled labor, many of whom do not possess enough ed-. ucation for proper technical training, who are the real problem we must overcome. A study by the Canadian Con ference on Education sug<^~l>; that there are 2,000,000 Canadians that are \"functionally illiterak The study recommends riacro and better vocational courses in schools and apprenticeship programs, retraining for adults, and imparting of more knowledge of the \"world of work\" in school, especially for urban children who \"lack the early experience of chores and wide early acquai i- tance with different types of employment.\" R. E. Lester, president of B.C. ' School Trustees Association says an equally important task now faces all of us ��� in private and business life; in our educational organizations, in boards of trade and chambers of commerce, in clubs and in coffee corner groups. He advocates fullest use of vocational courses. First of all, we must rid ourselves of the idea that a university degree is the ultimate in education and that to win a doctorate is to obtain a sort of automatic halo, he said. Secondly we must go out honestly and with enthusiasm to dignify those pursuits regarded as less worthy. A well - trained craftsman, productive in his work, is just as valuable a citizen as a lawyer, a teacher, a doctor. Better a happy carpenter helping to build his country than an unhappy teacher unable to build sound students, he added. A survey by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics which compared formal schooling with income reveals that approximately two- thirds of Canadian males in the labor force in 1959 whose formal schooling did not extend beyond elementary grades .had incomes, of less than $4,000. About 45% of those with a complete high school education had incomes of less than $4,000 that year, while only about 26% of male college graduates fell into this income bracket. On the other hand, nearly 16% of male college graduates reached the income level of $10,000 or more, compared with about 4% of high school graduates and less than 1% of those whose schooling stopped at the elementary level. About 94% of the total income included in these calculations represented earned income. These statistics showing the relation between formal schooling and earning power were obtained from a nationwide sample of some 12,000 persons undertaken during the period February-April 1960. Average incomes in 1959 according to education levels, as determined from this sample survey, were as follows: National health grants One of a series of articles describing the Federal Health and Welfare Services Canadians get for itiheir tax dollars. Martha, busy with her farm ���hiousehoH chores hardly noticed the greyness around the house, iier kitchen, after 30 years of married life was etcV td permanently in her mini:��� yet she fourid herself switching the light on to see where this pan or that knife was located Reading, even with her glasses became^f impossible. Tnen, sue day partial, blindness. A medical check 4&ckly diagnosed the case as a cataract, th** commonest remedial eye disease in older petople. Soon Martha underwent eye Eurgery for the removal of tne cataract and again her eyesight was restored and once more ishe is back in her beloved farm house, where with the aid. of heavy correcting glasses, she has adjusted herself to a normal work day life. Such is a typical case of what, medical science has done and is doing to prevent, cure and remedy blindness for many Canadians. The Department of National Health and Welfare, b.-indness control division, assists provincial authorities and. medical .officials in this field of blindness control. Of the 24,000 registered blind persons in Canada, 8,670 between the ages of 18-70 receive $55 ���. a month allowance paid on the basis of 75% federal and 25% from provincial funds. Certain provinces provide additional financial assistance. The total expenditure on. + KEEP YOUR RED CROSS ON THE JOB blindness allowances for the [year 1960 by the Canadian government was ever $4,000 000. In addition, funds provided by the national health grants program were used to assist research covering such subjects as diabetic eye conditions, corneal tissue studies, virus diseases of the eye, retinal die tachiment and the causes oi glaucoma which affects 2% of t��U people over 40 years of agje. Sinlde the blindness control ���ci vision's treatment scheme crme into force in 1948. ths federal government lus provided medioal treatment for the restoration of vision, to over 700 blind persons. Last, vear alone, 105 people were treated. Of the total receiving medical treatment, 77% of the cases vere successful whil^ in niany of the remaining 23 %, some improvement was achieved. Successful corneal transplants vere carried out in 10% of the c^ses treated last year. The blindness ;ciontrol divi sion works with provincial au- tnoritdes in encouraging the testing of vision among se/iool children. The earlier a vision defect can be spotted, the greater the chance of success for remedial measures in th ; child. Prevention is the key bo ciindness control. Stressing this an a.' recent address the Hon. J Waldo Montedth, minister of national 'health and welfare, said: \"While substantial progress has been made in restoring the sight of certain blind pensioners through a joint federal-provincial ..treaitmerit sdheme, the real hope for. the future lies: in the field of prevention.\" As part of the program, publications are alsio prepared and issued for free distribution. They include \"Sharp Eyes For Teenagers,\" \";Eye Trouble,\" and \"Glaucoma.\" . , The work and results so far achieved in combatting blindness can and will continue through the monies provided by jiour taxes to the federal treasury.

The integration of Indian children with white children in our schools Is undoubtedly the greatest single factor in the rapid advance of our native cirtii- zens; it was a vital step forward and, much as the Indians have (benefited from this new pro- grain, Frank Calder reminded us it has also done the white pupils a lot of good. When Frank told the members tlhat the integration of our Indians with their white neighbors had contributed tp the White pupils' growth and character, there was a round of applause from his fellow legislative members. . Mr. Calder \" reminded us many of the Indians that glo to the citfji are not able to meet the competition in the city. They find it difficult to make adjustments to this new life and the native runs into many technical changes to which he is unfamiliar. ,' AIIi this perhaps is due to lack of education arid vocational training, Calder said, but sometimes he is just not accepted because he is an Indian. Though many Indians are successful in their venture to the big city mainly, through personal initiative and kniow how, Calder said, a great many anlpple become the lost tribe in the city jungles. Calder proposed consideration be given to the establishment of joint federal-provincial- iplanning committees which could assist toward the adjustment of Indians in urban areas, and assist the Indian toward^ his general integration into the social and economic life of our province. Calder told us British Columbia was behind the provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the State of Washington in this sort of work. The work of such a committee would be, through the use of social welfare services and social work skilJis, to 'get the Indian on his feet in urban areas so that he could compete in the city with his felloe' citizens. - By TONY GARGRAVE, M.L.A. I think, it is fair to say- Frank Calder (NDP-Atlin) is an ornament to the legislature. Frank, a native Indian, was born at Nass Harbor on the Nass Raver in the northwest corner of the province. He represents his big Atlin riding well, and speaks for his native and white voters with equal skill. During the budget debate last week, he discussed some of the problems our, native Indians face in British Columbia. He told us his native friends were in a stage of transition. The Indians themselves realize ithe situation and are entering into general.��- discussions with interested \"groups arid governments in order to arrive at solutions to the social and economic adjustment that the Indian has to makte to the big city. Of the some 200 settled Indian comtmunities in this province, Frank Calder told us about three-quarters of the,Reserve Indians have to leave the confines of the reservation in order to find employment or to settle in urban areas in order to place their children in public schools and thus receive a proper and undisturbed education. Mr. Calder remanded us native Indians. follow occupations such as fishing and agricultural labor requiring trips away from home, and special provision 'had to be made for the children in the face of these migratory problems. The Atlin member told us it is in education most progress had been made for Indians. A generation ago few competent teachers could be persuaded to take an Indian school, and practically no Indian children attended white schools. Today ithere are nearly 10,000 of. them doing so, with about 40 students in unaversiiitjy, and these numbers are growing steadily. LETTERS to editor Editor: Almost every day there is something in the newspapers about unemployment. Even in your unimpeachable publication on Feb. 22 Tony Gargrave reports a column' on this disagreeable subject. Might II suggest J't is time someone looked at the .problem from the level of the individual. In the old days there was no such problem because our forefathers were individualists. Today if we were individualists there would be no such unemployment. We buy tomatoes from California ��� at. seven cents apiece. Somebody could make a good living:.-' l-aising tomatoes under glass the year round. The Japanese used to. do it on Lulu Island. We eat California strawberries. We might grow, our own food if we have enough individualists. This area can afford to support a few dairy farms, fruit and vegetable farms, more sawmills, more fuel dealers, more retailers who will stay open Sunday and holidays and. perhaps many light industries which could open up here. If we must all wait for our governments to put the food in our mouths we shall end up & sorry race of people inched. A. R. Simpkins.

Probation HOME FOR A COUPLE���JUST MARRIED OB JUST RETIRED A provincial full time probation officer with professional training was requested in the Legislature last wq2k for the Powell River-Sechelt areas. Ttony Gargrave, MLA said in the Legislature, during. the Budget debate, that the juvenile offender required professional assistance after court isentenci-g. He also urged that some way be found to give tax irelief to community halls in unorganized territory. During the debate Mr. Gargrave gave support for Dr. t Norman Z. Alcock's plan to (raise money for peace research. The local member told the Legislature that Dr. Alcock deserved public applause for his effort to do something about the dangers of international conflict. Mr. Gargrave said that he planned to donate to Ihe Air cciek fund and hoped that others would do likewise. Roberts Creek (By Madge Newman) The two girls who enrolled with the September \"probies\" at Vancouver General Hospital, Miss Jean Gibb and Miss Sheila Smith, were among the 99 capped at the impressive ceremony held on March 26. Miss Gibb, enjoying a month's vacation, is at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Gibb, Hanbury Road. Square dancing for the young fry attracted children for miles around and the Legion hall was filled with music, mirth and shuffling feet on Thursday evening. There appears to be a shortage of girls causing a disappointed stag line, and it is hoped more girls will show up next week. Dancing is oyer at 8:30. Roberts Creek Helps, Junior Red Cross group, held a white elephant sale at the school on Wednesday. Proceeds go7 to pet projects. One ; resident of this district who is not enraptured with the beauties of the winter scene is Mrs. Gwen MacKenzie, director of the plays to be put on by the Hospital- Auxiliary; GLb.s.on.s branch. Snow interfered with rehearsals. Plays will be presented on March 28.' At conference Barry Legh of Port Mellon was one of nine boys chosen from St. George's School to attend the religious conference at Annie Wright Seminary School at Tacoma for three days. The professor was Mr. M. Gee from Puget Sound University,, his topic being Reality and Faith The boys had round table discussion on each talk. Barry was very impressed to find most of these students from the U.S.A. were their school's football and basketball stars. The weekend was an enjoyable one due to the kindness and friendliness of these boys.

Heart disease in its' many forms accounts for 50% of all cieaths in Canada. It is presently afflicting 1,400,000 Canadian, including 75,000 children. Heart disease is responsible for 50% of all the male deaths between the ages of 25 and 65. Because .of research, many heart attack victims survive with modern treatment methods, and research has dispelled many unfounded fears about heart disease, through new knowledge of the heart's performance under varying ' conditions. Recently in Vancouver an 8 lb. baby girl with a rare mal-f formation of the heart's circulation system, survived open- heaant surgery. 'Phis was the first successful, operation of this type. The \"baby pump\" which enabled the team of surgeons to perform the delicate 'operation was developed by a Vancouver team, which includ-\" ed a full-tome research scientist, ,.

Heart Fund dollars, too, help to finance the study necessary to create diagnostic and surgical team-,;, upon whose skill depends the success of such operations. , In B.C. alone,' open-heart surgery was last year successfully performed upon more than two hundred men, women and children. Once-dreaded rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease c��.n now be prevented or controlled byjthe use cf antibiotics such as penicillin throughout the dangerous years. Many cases of hypertensive ���and bagh blood pressure can now be adequately controlled by new drugs and low sodium diets as a result of research. The anti-cloagulerits or blood thinning drugs, represent a tremendous step forward in the prevention, of recurring heart cttacks and strokes. In B.C.. the Heart Fund is conducted by the B.C.

Ohinook, Spring or Tyee salmon ordinarily frequent thje ocean and are famous for their great size when caught in coastal waters and anglers have landed spring salmon up to 90 .poundis in weight along the British Columbia coast. Mr. Westwood said departmental biologists have been encouraged in this project by similar experiments in New Ziealand. Spring salmon have reached ten pounds in weight fhen planted in similar lakes in that country, he said. The fish planted in Grteen Lake originated as a gift of eggs from the Washington State Department of Game. They were hatched and raised lin the Summerland trout hatchery.

Third, juveniles, 17 and. under, amount to only 8 percent of the hunters but cause 40 percent of the accidents. Juveniles (have an accident rate 8 - 10 times that of hunters over 31 years of age. There is little doubt that an educational program directed toward young hunters would make hunting safer. f An interesting aspect of the study was the breakdown , of 'hunters by age groups. The old est hunter in -the sample was 86 years and the youngest was .11. Juveniles, 17 and under, comprise eight percent, 18 to 21 year olds make up 15 percent, the 22-30 group contribute 25 percent, and hunters over 31 amount to 52 percent, of the 127,000 hunters in British Columbia during 1961. , A revised.program, in the,field of food science -and���/technology will be introduced in the faculty of agriculture at' the' University of British Columbia in September. -..-.���- The new program is .the. result of the work of a committee headed by E. L. Watson, assistant professor in the department of agricultural engineering and mechanics. The committee decided to revamp UBC's offerings in the field of food science and technology as the result of a survey of 105 companies engaged in the food industry in western Canada. . Mr. Watson said the survey revealed a minimum of 85 graduates would be required by western Canadian companies in the next five years. The new program will offer a more balanced and broader curriculum which will prepare students for careers in the meat and fish packing industry, dairying, and frozen food processing. About 20 courses will be offered in the four-year program leading to the bachelor of science in agriculture degree. At the present UBC offers five scholarships totalling approximately $2,000 to students who wish to specialize, in this field. The scholarships are sponsored by food industry companies. 0X4 ! ?-\"-' Cttn^ci^ Prepared by the Research Staff of m CYC L 0 P E DIA C A NAD IA K A More accidents Traffic accidents in B.C. caused the largest number of accidental deaths last year with 320 fatalities recorded ��� more than an any of the three preceding years.

' :���'\"��� ������' Xiyl./. x .-. X By Bert Garside and Jim Hoult Chief BowKng Instructors Double Diamond Advisory Council .-���,..- Quite a number of bowlers have be��n writing ; to us, through yesur newspaper, asking specific questions., about bowling problems. Here are a few of the m/ost frequent .bowling1 questions you've been asking, along with our answers. Q. Occasionally -1 can threw a straight ball, but most often any wrisfc seems to twist as I release - tihe ball, and it tends to. curve off to the right. What can I dio about it? A; Assuming you are spot bowling, concentrate on throwing your ball but further, across the spot. This should keep your wrist from breaking too soon. Q. After reading ylcur columns, I am a spot bowler. But, my ball frequently misses on the right hand side, after, passing over, the dart. A Assuming your wrist isn't breaking too soon, try rmoving your starting position to the right about four to six inches. Q. Wfien shoot.'ng. for the left N:d. 2 pan, the counter pin, I often miss on the left side. A team mate tells me I should aim for the 3 pin instead. Is this a good idea? ���;.; A. No. You'll never learn to. Lit your target by aiming elsewhere. Like . many bowlers shooting for a corner, pin, you probably, tighten up nervously. This results in either speeding up or slowing down your normal delivery!. Shoot a corner, pin with the san?(9 relaxed swing and. follow-through you use shooting: a headpin. Priiited Pattern <0 Q. I've been spot bowling a number of years, using the dots .or soni'> other marking on the floor twe or three inches from the foul line. I average about 225. Should I change to the method of spot bowling you recommend, using the range-finder darts?. A. If you're a once-a-week bowler, you're doing fine with a 225 average. The darts, however, have . been scientifically placed to give maximum results. They'd, be .worth trying for a few experimental games tio see if they develop a better ball for ypu-��� remembering that -whenever you try; some- 'thing new your average is bound to--dip temporarily until .you'. get.rused::tb.f_tihe new method. : -k Q. I've been reading in your column that a \"palmed\" ball is no good. I throw a \"palmed\" ball. Is there ro hope for me? . A. There are reveral top bcrvlers who throw:a \"palm\" ball, but they probably have . to wlork harder at thleir game than a bowler who rolls a ball off his fingertips. If your hand ������ is too small to grip the ball wUh your fingers, at least make \"sure .your fingers are spread cut as far as comfortable possible around the ball. Q. I'm getting a lot of. unlucky breaks on irrfi ball, picking headpins, splits, chopoffs, end so on. How can I remedy ibis? PACIFIC WINGS LTD. SKY TAXI AIR CHARTER SERVICE SECHELT 885\"4412 PENDER TU Q-O/IQI HARBOUR O AHkOl VANCOUVER CR 8-5141 ... . for BEST SERVICE A. This is a coinmon cora- paint. Without seeing your normal approach and delivery, we'd recommend y/ou take your normal stance, then move your starting position a half-step forward or back. This should ���change the amount of break on your ball. . Q. I throw a hook ball. I've ���been told a back-up ball is m'ore effective. Is this true? If I want to. improve my game, should X change? IK. We feel a back-up ball is more effective:��� but it is also harder t' control than a hook. So, don't change your ball unless you are real%l serious about improving your game, and are. willing to devote the time and practice heeded to develop contnol of a back-up ball.; Q Since reading your column, I've become a spot bowler, and raised my average 15 pins Where ean I find out-more about spot bowling? A. Sorry, but we don't know of any bocks or pamphlets that give fa full treatment; of spot bowling as we'vfe been describing .it. We hope, one will be coming. soon however. If not��� we might write it ourselves. MeanwhUe, -wie'll be happy to answer any specific questions nbtout spot bowling you might have.

The people of the Sechelt Peninsula have long suffered under the inadequacies of the present ferry system, and an improvement in both the service and the vessels is long overdue. For many years our M.L.A., Mr. Tony Gargrave, has worked hard.in.the legislature to bring about the necessary improvements to this ferry system, and it is encouraging to. see that at long last the government has seen fit -tof pay heed, f The growth of the whole, peninsula depends; to a large extent on its_ availability to metropolitan Vancouver, and Mr. Gargrave has long advocated better means of access between these two areas. We should all realize that the proposed -increase in ferry f service is due in a large measure to his continual championing of the interests of the Sunshine Coast. Let us hope the government will not be as long in actually producing its promised new ferry, as they were in ignoring Mr. Gargrave's repeated insistence for such improved transportation ��� N. L.

It contributes in many ways to the preservation of a tolerable climate for man in an otherwise hostile environment. In its progression from seed to seedling to sapling to mature tree it performs important functions of benefit to all mankind. Perhaps the No. 1 job a grow- choring the forest soil, conserving tree performs is that of an- ing it for future crops for our expanding economy. The rain and melted snow are thus assured a slow, steady, stable flow into our rivers. and reservoirs. Without trees on our watershed slopes the soil soon erodes, leaving nothing but bare ground and gullies. Run-off is then quick and dirty instead of slow and pure. Another function of the tree, besides keeping men and mills working, is to furnish food and cover for forest wildlife. This provides cool shade and colorful same tree, throughout its life, surroundings for the enjoyment of campers, hikers and picnickers. In urban areas, \"green belts\" are prized for their ability to revitalize the atmosphere, raising the oxygen content, moderating temperature and reducing air pollution. The multiple-use forestry concept takes all these factors into consideration in drafting long- term management policies that will asure Canadians the maximum benefits from the nation's most productive natural resource industry. Nearly 28,000 Canadians borrowed thousands of sickroom supplies from Red Cross Loan Cupboards maintained in 584 communities 'across* the -nation last year. This is a free service.
