Community Hall was officially opened. The hall built by voluntary labor by local youngters, ages 61 to 84, was erected on pror per ty owned by the Welcome Beach Community Society. It was gay with bunting and flags and long before the appointed hour residents and car loads of guests from all parts df the Peninsula began arriving. It presented an. attractive appearance witiir ijs walls pine panelled, lit by ceiling lights covered with natural parchment shades', the deep blue of the Centennial Flag draped behind the speaker. Masses of flowers in lovely fall colorings added to the scene. At one end were tea tables, lace covered wth tall tapers in silver holders centered with bowl�� of pale pink anemones.

In Pender-Harbour the fblks Mr. Grundy outlined the work done by the members of _ the building committee, how they toiled hard and long, rain or shine, with some walking miles to and from the {building site; spending long hours every day on the job of clearing and building. All this work was voluntary. One resident brought in his. bulldozer and cleared the area needed for the building. Others contributed lumber, doors, windows, paint and stain, chairs, articles to be raffled and another undertook to do the electric wiring. A stove for the kitchen was donated, also a heater for the hall. Donations of money helped meet the current expenditure, the Redroofs and Welcome Beach Recreation Commission donating the whole of their grant for two years to aid the hall. The Welcome Beach Garden Club raised money by selling flowers and plants and will landscape the grounds. Red Wei Ladies Guild, always a hard working and enthusiastic group held Bingo nights, raffled off various articles, held a successfud bazaar in July. The Welcome Beach Community Society also _ stood whole hartedly behind the project and helped in many ways. Mrs. M.

Grundy said.. The work ol-the Centenr/ nial Cominxittee is finished and he had much pleasure in handing over the deeds and keys of the Hall 'tp Mrfe. Johnston. Mrs. Johnston said it Was a wonderful achievement which showed true community spirit, and all the more wonderful because it was undertaken by a group of not so young people, who didn't wait for George to do it. ; She then( declared the hall open, handing over tiie deeds- and keys to Mr. A. Young, representing the Welcome Beach Community Society. Little Louise Rutherford presented Mrs. Johnsjton with. a bouquet of mauve flowers tied with gold streamers. Mr. Young on behalf of the Welcome Beach Community Society thanked Mrs. Johnston and said the hall would fill a long 'wanted need, as for many years meetings had to be held at the Redroofs hall owned by Mr. J. Cooper, who was so generous in supplying heat and light and conveying people to and from the hall for all meetings. Mr. Young tendered a special vote of thanks to Mr^T Cooper. , Magstrate Johnston in a brief speech said he hadn't met any of the people from this area, so laughingly concluded they must be a law abiding community- Mr. E Surtees,, chairman of the Halfmoon Bay Recreation Commission expressed admiration for the men who succeeded in the undertaking. Tea was served by the RedWel Ladies Guild and pourers were Mrs. Graham Ladner and Mrs. W. Leuchte. Serviteiirs were Mejsdames M. Tinkley, E. . Pearce, P. White, B. McCaul, A. Grundy, L. Bath.

Cecil Solly, well known garden commentator, and a recent visitor to iSakinaw Lodge, donated $5 to the hospital for a. loaf of Mrs. Cotton's homemade bread. Members agreed to purchase a much-needed anaesthetic machine for the hospital. This will cost around $900 and will deplete the Auxiliary's treasury. It is hoped, therefore, that the next project will be a success. This will be held Nov. 8, which will be the Auxiliary's 21st birthday. The evening will start with a picnic style bean supper.

Wilson, six members attended, making two more than attended the September meeting. ���A vote of thanks was given the Coast News for its appeal for leaders. This was, followed by the reading of an editorial which ran the previous week and the effect was to fan the weary embers of community spirit in those present. It was stressed by members that it was worthwhile if a single child\" is helped to happiness and a foundation supplied for good citizenship. At the last count there were 45 Brownies so it was decided in view of the shortage of help one Brown Owl would look after two companies with the help of any Packies available.

Redroofs' folk happy Redroofs area people have discovered one way to be happy. They had a provincial government Centennial grant of $42 and a desire to do something which would be of benefit to the community. ;������. So meetings were held, plans discussed and a project selected. It entailed the use of bulldozers, saws, hammers and.nails assisted by the work of community organizations which raised money for purchasing lumber and other essentials required in building. ^ ; ���> The men, average age about 70, put in hour-! and hours of labor turning a virgin timber area into a lot on which something could be erected. The women, .who voluntarily decided their ages were from \"30 to 45,\" worked to make saleable products and gave their time to community projects to raise close to $1,500. Time, labor and money were all channelled towards the achievement they set out to do ��� 'build a. community hall for Redroofs area. Sunday afternoon saw the official opening of the hall Li- fore a happy crowd of close to 100 persons, happy because-they .had achieved something by themselves with a .,$45 government grant as a Ibeginning. The hall exuded the spi-it of :happiness right down to the dry wood burning in the kitchen stove to heat water for tea and coffee to go along with the sandwiches and cake prepared by the women folk. As one person said during the consumption of cake and coffee \"we found happiness in our own backyard.\" Redroofs Community Hall should have that remark painted on one of the walls of the hall as a reminder to others who will be visiting the place. >��������� Our marine problem An announcement in this issue by Hon. :Earle C; West- wood stating the decision of the provincial government to enter the.marine park field has been justified should.be of interest to those persons who have an interest in development of Gibsons harbor waterfront. While Gibsons area cannot be considered a marine park area- that announcement by the minister does reveal a growing interest in the development of facilities for pleasure craft in British Columbia. '' * ��� The government release says there are 40,000 pleasure boats in the lower coastal area, including Vancouver Island. A good many of these vessels are small craft which prefer sheltered waters. That is the reason why the Howe Sound area should Stave priority when development is considered because: craft homing in the Vancouver area are how crowding waters adjacent to Vancouver. This publication has advocated an extension of present harbor facilities beyond what is planned by the federal government which has let a tender for the harbor improvements to pro-, vide some shelter for commercial craft. It is true pleasure craft do not operate on an all-year basis in the same manner as commercial craft but the highway we have, paved from Port Mellon to Powell River, is used seasonally only (by the larger number of motorists. The greater number of craft operating in the Howe Sound area will also mean that Gibsons should offer such craft a mooring place so summer visitors will be able to shop in Gibsons. This means trade for local merchants. They should be behind such a move in a definite manner. Mainly about work Work is an economic necessity, and has been ever since the Garden of Eden, but it is also a psychological necessity. Not to be occupied, and not to exist, amount to the-same thing..Sir Alfred Roberts said at the Duke of Edinburgh's Study Conference: Work is an economc necessity, a social obligation, a basic human right, and a means of personal fulfilment. It is, indeed, only by the work of all hands that society survives. In the Encyclical Letter of His Holiness Pope Pius XI distributed in 1931 he remarked: \"Universal experience teaches us that no nation has even risen from want and poverty to a better and loftier station without the unremitting toil of all its citizens.\" The themes of fairy tales are made of work. The prince who rescues the princess; the courtier \"who sorts out the tangled skeins of silk of separates the colored grains of sand; the sage who deciphers a message on a wall: all these worked for their reward. We cannot imagine a state without work, and if there were a place without work its people would be most unhappy. ��� From Royal Bank October Letter.

ELECTRIC -tSSB About buu.OOO families anu the r-jst Office department celebrated a special birthday on Oct. 10. Canada's first rural route was placed in operation on that date in 1908, between Hamilton and Ancaster, Ontario, introducing a postal, service whereby dwellers- had their mail delivered to their homes. ��� 'xhe contractor on R. R. Np- 1, Hamilton, the official name ot the pioneer, wended his -way for seven miles from Hamilton to Ancaster, Ont., and returned, each day serving householders along the route of travel. When the system was introduced, it was confined to existing stage routes, but strong claims were made by those on other roads with the result that by 1912 under improved regulations, all ��� persons residing along,well defined roads over a'mile'long became eligible for piral mail delivery. Another \\ advantage was that rural route couriers were permitted to sell postage stamps, .'take applications and accepi money for money orders and pcstal notes. By November of that year, over 25,030 boxes were being served on 900 routes. Over the years, the number of calls has continued to increase and on almost all country lanes the horse and buggy has now been replaced by an automobile. A few hours travel by car covers a route which required a day to complete formerly. As happened in the case of the original sevice, some rural routes are the forerunners of letter carrier delivery as Canadian cities continue to expand. In1951, in an-effort to provide mail service to isolated groups of families on the Newfoundland coast, several water., rural routes were started. They were over 30 miles long and patrons were served by motor launch once a week. There were no mail boxes involved* as patrons met the boat at the wharves and conducted their postal business on the spot. While not strictly speaking a rural route, the Alaska Highway service certainly handles mail for country people., from the end of steel at Dawson Creek, B. C, a ..three day journey twice a week brings the mailman over 900 miles to White Horse with all surface mail for the Yukon. He , ,also tends the needs of eight post offices, en route and stops at a number of non-post office points,. Deep dive in bathyscaphe The recent Franco-Japanese joint scientific project has uncovered some of the mysteries of the Japan Deep, one of the deepest ocean beds of the world. From the Kuriles in the north to near the Bonin Islands in the south, it is a trench or canyon in the bottom of the Pacific, 34,000 feet below the surface at its deepest point. During two months this summer, the French Navy's under- ��� sea exploration craft, the bathyscaphe FNRS-3, on loan to Japan, made nine dives into the Deep. Its farthest plunge was 10,000 feet, more than twice as far down as the previous Pacific record made by Americans iri 1949. Observations made from the bathyscaphe proved many tilings about the floor of the Pacific which' hitherto had been only\" hypothetical, -while other theories about the Deep were completely upset. One oceanographic theory exploded this summer was that there were no currents at great depths. Professor Tadayoshi Sasaki of Tokyo Fishery College reported a sluggish, snail- pace flow at more than 9,500 feet. This observation gave rise to speculation that it might not be safe to dump radioactive waste into the ocean depths. Professor Peres of Marseilles University and the commandant of the b a t hy s cap he , Georges Houot, were astounded at the variety of marine life, at depths of 3,000 to 6,000 feet. The Pacific ocean depths may thereore provide a rich new source of food for Japan ��� a remote possibility at this time, but not altogether a dream in-view of steadily advancing techniques in fisheries ��� From Japan Reports where patrons can transact post office business with the courier. At White Horse two connecting services branch off, one following the Alaska Highway to the Alaska border ��� 300 miles ��� while the other runs over -400 miles to Dawson, Y. T. Although the ideal rural route is about 25 miles long, forms a circuit and serves 100 or more patrons, local conditions often require certain deviations from the perfect route. Victoria R.R. No. 2 on Vancouver Island in B. C. is over 90 miles; round trip; runs daily except Sunday serving 441 boxholders and four revenus offices. The largest number of boxholders are served on Riviere des Prairies R.R. No. 1 in-Quebec-Province. On this 25 mile daily j ourney, over 1,100 householders are served as well as two revenue post offices. )To provide Canadians with good postal facilities, the country is divided into fourteen postal districts in charge of district directors. Some idea of the facilities provided the rural portions of the various Postal Districts is given in the,following list of routes in each,of these Districts: Newfoundland, 5; Saint John, N.B., 556 (includes 178 in P.E.I); Halifax, 341; Quebec, 779; Montreal, 771; Ottawa, 715; North Bay, 179; Toronto, 594; London, 820; Winnipeg,��160; Saskatoon, 94; Calgary, 118; Edmonton, 170 and Vancouver, 174. In reporting to parliament this year, the \"Hon. William Hamilton, postmaster-g e n e r a 1. indicated that some 600,000 householders are now served by 5,500 rural routes and that over 37 million miles are travelled annually' by the>R.R. couriers. He also stated that over 4,000 group mail boxes now accommodate 40,000 patrons. The group boxes are an infers, esting development of rural ser- vice introduced after World War 2. At one stop, a courier* may serve 10 to 50 or more patrons using the device of nests of boxes erected at central points in the borderline areas between--cities and rural districts; The' system is a boon particularly in new development regions where conditions are not favourable to 2 Coast News; Oct. 16, 1958. either rural mail or letter carrier delivery. Although the style of the mail box hias changed somewhat over the years as did the mode of transportation, the determinatioii of the Post Office Department remains the same, to give good postal service to all Canadians especially those in country areas where the arrival of mailman is often the highlight of the day.

One of them was the American novelist Sinclair Lewis. His books were widely read and he won .the Nobel prize in literature for his vivid and cynical novels about life and people n the United States especially in the middle west. His books, Babbit, Elmer, Gangtry, Main Street and the others all had the same sarcastic- attitude and made readers feel that there were many worthless people abroad; vapid, empty arid hypocritical. He appeared to haye very little respect, much less admiration, for fellow citizens. To a reviewer he said: \"I don't know what to say about anything, I'm not a reformer of any kind and I really don't care about anything.\" He died in. a nursing home in Rome, Italy, January, 1951. The other man was Rev. Peter Bryce who passed away \" on-Nov. 30, 1950. He was for over 40 years my most intimate friend and if all the hours I spent in his company were totalled up it would be extended to many months. I think I understood him as far as it is possible for one man to understand another. Taking him all in all he gave himself to the service of others to an extent I have never* known excelled ��� probably not equalled. He was responsible for so many difficult enterprises of service and goodwill that to even name them would use up what space I haye in this column. He was moderator of the United-Church from 1(?36-1938 and during the last 12 years of his life, minister of the Metropolitan Church in Toronto. But he -was no denominational- ist. He belonged to that noble army of people who try their best to make this a better world in which to live. * *v '*' He\" combined, to an extent I have never known, deep spiritual living���with .a keen inter-- est in everyday affairs. I once heard him say to a large congregation of people who (were having a hard time to make ends meet: \"If you come to the Printed Pat-tern 9173 ; SIZES. 10-18 Jkf luWw Hl*-**f�� ' BARE your shoulders beautifully in this glamorous sheath that curves close to your fig- lire, gives; you fashion's new long-stemmed look.

'prayer meeting on Wednesday evening I'll tell you about our coal club.\" Nothing could be more characteristic of him; prayer and a ��� coal club; the spiritual and the temporal. He knew people had to eat and be clothed and that it was unreasonable to expect them to be .serene and satisfied if they lacked life's necessities. That was why he was so intensely interested in Mothers' Allowances, fresh air camps and the Workmen's Compensation Act. When some told him to preach the Gospel and leave social legislation alone, he replied: ���: \"This is the Gospel; There is' no real distiiicion between temporal and spiritual affairs; they go hand in hand.\" \"-'* * * But the chief distinction between Sinclair Lewis and Peter Bryce was that whereas Lewis debunked people; made them feel he despised them and that Coast News, Oct. 16, 1958.-3 ..._.. .pr���..i.��� ���_. _������_�� ���-��� ��� ,,_���-._n -i ��� ��� ��� helped those who never enter- they didn't amount to much. Dr. Bryce had tremendous respect and admiration for alls even those who had lost faith in themselves. He made the humblest feel that they were great in the sight of God. There couldn't be, a greater contrast in attitudes to his and the novelist's. For 14 years he ministered to people wh0 lived in very humble homes ��� many in tar-paper covered shacks. He was not concerned as to whether they attended his church or not. In hundreds of cases he ea any church. They were in need and that was a letter of introduction to him. In the 46 years I knew him I cannot remember hearing him speak scornfully of anyone. He,could be indignant when he saw cruelty and injustice but never scornful or indifferent. His funeral was one of the largest ever held in. Toronto; and every religious denomination was represented, for he belonged to all the people. Judged by some standards he was not a great preacher; certainly not of the oratorical type. But he had something to ��� say and he could \"t-ay it in a way that deeply moved hie listeners. It moved them because they knew behind it all there was a man of strong convictions and a tender loving heart. It is not often that God sends such a man among us. Our quotation today is a saying by Mark Rutherford: \"Blessed are they who heal us of our self-despisings.\" THE CORPORATION OF THE VILLAGE OF SECHELT ANNOUNCEMENT J. D.

Mr. Westwood pointed out that some interesting figures had been uncovered' by' the new survey. -' Fifty-eight thousand pleasure, boats operate in British ColurrJbia waters (including the interior lakes) of which 40,000 are located in the lower coastal area of Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland. . ' ' One hundred, and sixty thousand persons, or one in seven of our British Columbia population within the lower coastal area, have access to pleasure craft; The highest concentration of pleasure boat owners is on Vancouver Island w^iere one . household in every five now has a pleasure boat of some type. \\ Mr. Westwood concluded that the development of the marine park system willl be continued in as rapid a manner as possible by his provincial parks branch. A program to install boat launching ramps of a type tested this summer by the Department of Recreation and Conservation, at suitable points throughout the lakeshore areas of the province, has also \"been announced.

They are extremely simple to construct and have proved to be practically indestructible to the ravages of wave action while having sufficient flexibility to fit existing beach contours. As they are laid over existing contours, they are not normally subjected to covering by sand drift. \"Under the long term construction program the next installations will be-made at Al- ouette Lake in Garilbaldi Park and at the newly opened Shus- wap Lake Park near Celista,'' Mr. Westwood said. Kato the milkman Over 40 years ago, when Hopkins Landing consisted of the big new Hopkins' home at cne end of the beach and their little old home at the other end of it, the weekend visitor strolling on the skid roads that threaded their vague way uphill occasionally heard the clink of bottles and saw a bearded, smiling little man with a number of sacks swung round his middle. For a moment, for he matched his surroundings so well that he faded into them as one watched him. In another land he would -have been one of the \"wee folk of the v glens,\" but the visitor on making enquiry was simply told that this was -'Kato,\" the milkman,\" and the only other information forthcoming was that he was a Finn. It was not long -after the sailing ship days, and the belief that the Finns had magic was still strong. Even for a Finn to have produced milk Tithe tangled wilderness back of Hopkins took magic, and a lot more, and \"Kato\" had it. From those pioneer days until his death that little man made two blades of grass grow where orie grew before, and . and had a long, happy _ife doing it. Now He has left us, 'but the memory remains^ Milk now comes to Hopkins along the black-top road, in cartons: from large metal trucks, refrigerated, homogenized and pasteurized, but there was one thing in which Kato's milk topped the present ��� day supply, Kato's milk had cream on it. -���Eric Thomson* Winter Is Coming Put your Car in Shape Now Chains, Snow Tires Antifreeze ��� i 'S SERVICE STATION Sechelt Highway GIBSONS 220K SALES & SERVICE FOR ,_������ NEW McCULLOUGH CHAIN.

What Radio History Was Mads From Glace Bay? Radio history was made at Glace Bay, N. S. when it. became the first place in North America to establish radio conununication with Europe. Marconi, inventor of the radio, first made contact with Europe by radio in 1902 from a nearby promontory named Table Head. The settlement is described as primarily a mining town, with the Dominion Coal Company operating the Mghly-mechanized coal' mines that stretch far\" out > under the sea. Other' industries include the shore fisheries and two plants to freeze and process the fish. Glace Bay was named for the spring ice, blown in from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, that often packs' the bay. _fM ��..-/-.-:_-V P.O. Box 37, Gibsons 1334 West Pender St., Vancouver S. MU 3-7477. A. E.

Leaving the Tower the coach tookj i*_s over the Tower Bridge to the south side of the River and back over London to our starting point at Cook's City office. Arriving at the Tower of London we were conducted by our guide through all the grounds and rooms. We saw the courtyard where the executions took place; the room where the two princes were murdered; the tower where the crown jewels are kept, among which are the largest diamonds in the world, and the ravens on the Tower Green. There is 'a superstition that the British Empire will come to an end when the ravens leave the Tower so their wings are clipped. ~We were told that the square Norman Keep was built by William the Conqueror in 1087 in an angle of the Roman route to the Tower of London Guaranteed Watch & Jewelry Repairs Chris* Jewelers Mail Orders Given Prompt Attention Work done on the Premises Phone Sechelt 96 This advertisement' is not published or displayed by the Liquor Control Board or by\" the Government of British Columbia; I I r .
