It laid down a policy to seek assurance from the owner of the property of immediate action towards making the property available for use as quickly as possible or else the board would v,e forced to seek other means of providing for necessary school space. The board' will request Mr. E. C. Thompson to appear at the Jan. 9 board meeting to see what can be done. A letter from St. Bartholomew's Anglican church officials on the use of the Parish HalJ as an elementary school set the term of occupancy to end Dec. 31, 1961. This drew comment that \"it would expire in mid-term. The result of debate which followed was that an extension would be sought until the end of the school term in June. The board decided after discussion on dental treatment for children in grades one, two and three, that the dental work would be placed on an advance payment basis and that fees would be $4 for pre-school and grade one with a $5 fee for grades two and three. Sechelt area In future any organized instructional activities during lunch hour or after school hours must be referred to the school board through school principals for the board's consideration. This move is to enable the board to know What is going on and who would be bearing the responsibility. The board valso> decided that responsibility for untoward events in scfiools where outsiders will be using the schools, will rest on those persons signing for the use of* school premises! Before closing the meeting, Mrs. C. Jackson whose term as chairman ends on Dec: 31, thanked members of the^lioard for the support they- jtia&YOffered.

Telephone company last July has now been granted by the Board of Transport Commissioners ahd the increase goes into effect on the Jan. 27 bills. This was announced at Tuesday night's meeting of Gibsons village council when a letter was read from the phone company. This increase affects the Gibsons-Port ' Mellon exchange only. The board, which controls telephone rates has recognized the fact the Gibsons-Port.; Mellon exchange has graduated from group two, a 1,000 phone bracket, to group three, a 2,000 phone bracket thereby requiring a higher rate. B. F. Abram, B.C. Telephone Co. district commercial manager at North Vancouver, said the grouping, system is commonly accepted by regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over telephone rates in Canada and the U. S. Rates are based on the number of telephones in each exchange, or the combined total cf the exchanges between which free-calling is furnished, such as Gibsons-Port Mellon. The combinedf^areas now have a total of more than 1,125 phones Gibsons itself having grown from 370 when the B.C. Telephone Co. took it oyer six years\" ago, to approximately :1,000. Port Melon has mote than 100 andJ the two combined put the general area in the group three category. .. . The board authorizes the regrouping, so the following charges will apply (present rates in brackets): RESIDENCE Mrilti-party $2.75 ($2.60) Two-party $3.20 ($3.00) Individual $4.10 ($3.85) ���BUSINESS ���.������������.

Mr. Hicks thanked council for the co-operation which councillors offered. Chairman Ritchey commended Mr. Hicks for his cooperation over his two-year term Accounts totalling $1,64S.20 were ordered paid, $1,034.63 for roads, including $789.85 for culverts, $497.10 for fire protection including $485.10 for new hose, $47.29 for water, $42.34 for general expense, $14.36 for parks and $12.48 for winter work.

The following brief prepared and presented by this association was commented upon favorably by Public Utilities Commission. \"It is the feeling of the Sechelt Rural-Wilson Creek Ratepayers' Association that an approximate 50% increase in rates of the Sechelt Waterworks Ltd., it excessive and out of line with the improvements instituted since 1953 and is also out of line with the increase permitted under the jurisdiction of the P.U.C. \"Further, operating costs are high but appear to be the result of inefficiency and mismanagement, and we feel that the onus should be on the Sechelt Waterworks Ltd. rather than on the consumer, to operate their business in a more business-like and efficient manner. \"According to the 1959 audit, operating expenses amounted to 57% of revenue; this Would indicate a balance of 43% to profit, which would appear to be more than adequate. \"To our knowledge the only costly addition or improvement which has been borne solely by the Sechelt Waterworks Ltd., was the approximate 2,000 feet of six inch main from Selma Park Store to the top of Selma Park hill. All other improvements have been paid by a direct assessment on landholders involved and we further feel that this expense can be easily absorbed by the 43% profit. \"Since water mains to lots of the Sechelt Lands Ltd. increase the value of said lots to the advantage and ultimate profit of the Sechelt Lands Ltd., and since obviously this cost will be passed on to future purchasers it seems . only reasonable that this capital cost should be borne by the above company, rather than by the present consumers. \"We hereby, make formal submission of protest against the proposed increase in rates as set forth in the application of Secheit Watedworks Ltd.\" Nelson Island when ori striking a rock iri the fog a 15 foot by eight inch gash resulted.

This arrangement resulted when it was necessary to place the Smokwa on the Jervis Inlet run in place of the Quillayute. The Smokwa was to have been added to the Langdale run over the holiday period. It is likely the Quillayute will be out of commission for a three- week period. The Cy Peck will be used only as an auxiliary vessel duxing\" the Christmas runs, Black Ball officials announce. The mishap to the Quillayute occurred at the north end of inlet before it was beached. The lug Scallop II took passengers off the Quillayute.

I would say things have been carried a bit to far ��� one hall has always been used for a dance for us kids ��� including my husband and myself who are still under drinking age: Iri fact, on hearing that \"Taller O'Shea\" wanted to rent the Roberts Creek Hall, I bought my New Years dress ��� knowing this would be the \"big dance. I'm afraid I was a bit rash. It's been rented for a cabaret too (The hall, not the dress). I should think that by leaving one hall free there would still be plenty of dances for the 'older\" group. I suppose it is too late to even think about a dance this year but perhaps next year it will be given some thought, we'll wait, we have a few years yet.

Editor: I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Hospital Improvement District Organizing Committee, to thank you for the co-operation you have given our committee during the past 20 months. The result of the recent plebiscite to form the Impi'ovement District is proof of the effectiveness of the publicity we have received in your paper. In addition, I would like to express our committee's appreciation to all those who assisted us before and during the plebiscite. The part played by those who contacted voters and provided transportation to the polls was undoubtedly responsible for the large turnout despite the bad weather on the day of the plebiscite. The overwhelming affirmative vote cast by a large number of landowners should be of great satisfaction to all. Finally, I would like to thank the members of the H.I.D. Orr ��:anizing Committee for their untiring efforts, and also the Board L.f Trustees of St. Mary's Hospital Society and its chairman, Mr. A. Lloyd, whose support of our committee in all its decisions has been most encouraging. L. HEMPSALL Chairman, H.I.D. Organizing Committee. Gibsons area and Inhalator Coast News, Dec. 22, 1960. (By LES PETERSON) (Article Four) As the weight of ice pressing down on them gradually diminished, land masses rose slowly and unevenly. Most did not rise to their former elevations, but since minute salt tx-aces in the soil to heights of 600 feet have indicated uplifts of that extent in the Fraser Valley, it can be presumed that comparable actions prevailed in this area. ,At the same time, the release of fresh water from the melting gigantic ice-sheets caused the ocean level to rise also, possibly several hundred feet. If simultaneously, as it can be presumed they did, then the actual land uplift must have been mucn greater than the net results would make it appear to have been, measuring ocean level. Evidence of the fact that the entire land surface rose unevenly can be found in gravel beds, where strata once unquestionably horizontal are now tilted and warped. The deposit near the mouth of Langdale creek is a good example of this uneven uplift, caused no doubt by uneven melting of the ice-sheet, and pex-haps by unequal pressures from lower portions of the earth's crust. Although melting of remnants of the ice-sheet, throughout the northern hemisphere, is supposedly still causing a slow rise in ocean levels, stone docks some 5,000 years old found recently in the eastern Mediterranean have not been submerged. The fact that some of our own beaches, between sheer cliff above and sheer drop-off below, are comparatively flat, would in- from today's dicate that ocean levels have and grew on soil unsuited to Teenagers and smoking not altered much f or many thousands of years. One explanation for this apparently static condition might be found in the fact that, while ice in the Arctic is melting, in the Antarctic it is accumulating. Six thousand years ago, then, the topography of the Pacific coast was much as it is today. One major difference for a time at least after the disappearance of the ice-sheet would be a lack of vegetation. Except perhaps for some semi- fossilized stumps as those commented on by L. S. Jackson, the fix-st genex-ation has long since disappeared. What it was like, and how it came here, is today a matter for speculation/Some seeds may have lain dormant and survived the grinding of the ice-sheet. Quite likely most of what, found root seeded by. being carried northward by wind, tide and bird from foliage that grew below the southern limits of ice, and by these processes followed its retreat north. Undoubtedly many seeds fell them, to make way for some other species a generation later. Certainly, as soil conditions and climate still change, and as forests are cleared and allowed to renew, types of vegetation alter. Clearing land on our Pratt Road ranch during my youth, my father and I discovered, under fir and cedar stumps at least 500 years old, the resin-preserved roots of a much more ancient spruce forest. Travellers along the Port Mellon Road can observe, where logging operations and slashing of the B. C. Elective right-of-way have removed the current growth of trees, mainly fir and hemlock, that the stumps remaining from the preceding generation are almost entirely cedar. Whatever more ancient generations of vegetation have been like, the past two of three have constituted a rich resource in the modern world, and have been largely instrumental in bringing. Europeans to the area. Wnz Coast Nfctus Published every Thursday by Sechelt Peninsula News J.d.t P.O. Box 128, Gibsons, B.C., and authorized as second class aail, Post Office department, Ottawa.

David Donaldson) As you gather in your own family circle at this Yuletide Season, may you-, recognize something of the love Of God which links us together as a family. May this be a season of real joy for you; may the light .which streams from Bethlehem shiixe on your lives so that others m&y see God\\s love more cleax-ly. People in all lands following an old custom express to one another the mutual regard which they ordinarily take for granted. We never enter fully into the meaning of this radiant holiday until it has lecalled our attention to the Son of God, this man who was born on Christmas Day is the best friend humanity has ever known. The road to Christmas is old but ever new, and we need this ffl&ought about Christinas th^ road we may dis cover His Glory. Though the setting of Christmas is a lonely manger there is about it the touch of loveliness and beauty. Christmas is more than a tradition, it is the hope of the world, it is God's way of Bringing light into a troubled world. We listen to the Christmas music as we journey along the Bethle- Hem road together. It is like a prelude for the rising curtain that is immortal. The veils of the intervening years drift apart like a morning mist. A cloudless sky at night may be beautiful, majestic and beyond descx-iption, but the blue above and the green beneath are deeper and richer when the spirit of Christ dwells within us. Christmas is the brightest morning in all history. It commemorates the coming of a man we call Christ, and the anniversary of His birth is the greatest festival known among men and nations. Let His birth be an event in our lives, for we shall have to drink deep from the rivers of God as we face another year. May the Peace and Joy of Christmas Day be with you all. 3Bje gentle tfjings of eartf) Not in hurried day, but in the quiet Of night, to shepherds watching in the field, The angel of the Lord brought joyful tidings Of him through whom God's love should be revealed. Not to the wily king, whose promise of devotion Failed to deceive the travelers from afar, Appeared the signal of prophecy's fulfillment, But to the wise, who followed a silent star. Not in the crowded inn the babe was cradled, Amid babble of voices or noise of worldly mirth, But peacefully within a simple manger, Quiet, and close to the gentle things of earth. Max Dunaway, in The Christian Science Sentinel premier'* Cfcrtetma* iWessgage Premier W. A. C.

The magic of Christmas draws lamilies closer and restores long- neglected friendships. But as we exchange these warmly personal remembrances, we recall, too, that our faith enjoins us to . turn our thoughts outward at this season in a prayer for peace and goodwill to all men. The message of Christmas is an old one; but time will never dim its truth and beauty. Let us, then, give thanks again for the j^aace and serenity conferred by ���Sod on us who live in British ��ttt&��bia. and let us fervently hope that these great blessings may extend to people everywhere. \"Merry Christmas to you all, and good wishes for the New Year.\" GOD BLESS CHRISTMAS \"There are many things from which I might have derived good, by which I have not profited, I dare say,\" said the nephew. \"Christmas among the rest.

Few city dwellers have open grates or desire a log fire. And those living in the country find coal more efficient and less trouble. However, for those who have a place'to burn the yule log and want one, tradition says it should be oak, ash, olive, apple or pine. Further, the fire on which il is placed should be kindled from a brand saved from last year's log, and that it should not be allowed to go out during the night. i For those determined to have the yule log, the voice of expert ience says get hold of all the wood you can. Some kinds burn better than others, but reject none these days. Ash is highly praised-by some and can be used without being seasoned. It burns very quickly but throws off great heat. Poplar on the other hand, should be ;seasoned or it will spark badly-, Elm is condemned as undesirable, but it can be used. It is slow to get burning, but lasts a long time and brightens up when it gets going. A few logs of birch, pine or fir will help it along. Beach and oak are among the best logs. Beech is especially good, having a pleasant aroma and a steady glow. Oak has the outstanding merit of '��� burning slowly. If none of these are available, wood from all kinds of fruit trees are prime favorites for the yule log because of their pleasant smell when burning. Amendments to the National Housing Act will increase the size of insured and direct loans that N.H.A. borrowers can obtain. This will lower down payments, thereby admitting new bori'pwers to the active market, William H. Payne, M.P. for Coast-Capilano has informed the Coast News. The bill increases the amount ol the loan from 90% of the first $12,000 of lending value to 95% of the first $12,000 of lending value and 70% of the remainder, as before. This change will have the effect of increasing the loan and reducing: the down payment tor a house worth $10,000 by $500, for a house worth $11,000 by $550, and for houses worth $12,- 000 to $14,000 by $600. These measures will so reduce down payments on lower priced houses that home ownership will come within reach of a much larger group of Canadians. For the medium priced dwellings worth over $14,000, similar measures will be. taken to reduce down payments to eliminate second mortgage financing, lt is proposed to change; the present maximum loan; from $12,800 to $14,200 for single family dwellings with 3 bedrooms or less, and to $14,900 for, larger dwel- liras. This change will have the effect of increasing the loans and reducing the down payments on houses worth $15,000 by $700 and for houses worth $16,000 and up by $1,400. terior and exterior decorating, plumbing, heating and electrical work. The benefits under this section were extended to owners of rental properties. Because of this change, the aggregate amount of loans that can be guaranteed under the act has been increased from $200 million to $500 million. SEWAGE FACILITIES Less than one-sixth of our urban municipalities have adequate sewage plants in operation. Possibly two-thirds of our urban population, are living -in;. regions where seriously polluted surface waters are found. Legislation introduced provides for government loans to municipalities toward the cost of constructing central- sewerage plants and'trunk mains. The provisions dp not include loans for individual house connections. Any proposal to fall under the N.H.A. must have provincial approval: The amount, of the loan is to be ' limited to two-thirds of the cost of the. proposed work and will be repayable by the municipality over a long term of hot more than 50 years, at a rate of interest close;to the federal borrowing rate. Parliament set aside $100 million for this purpose. RENTAL HOUSING On rental housing, the act now authorizes insured loans of 80% ol the lending value. To keep x-ental payments in step with home ownership building, the bill raises'this; 80%:: ratio to 85%. Similarly there are adjustments to the maximum loan amounts authorized-; by regulation for the \\arious structural type of dwellings built for rental purposes> such as row houses, apartments and triplexes.

The commissioners, present informed the meeting that this could not be done unless some organization or organizations requested them to put a bylaw to that effect. It was mentioned, I believe by the church representative that the roads had already encroached on the church property, and would like a little more, and that possibly if the roads department were approached that they would pay for what they needed, making the price of the land less for the village if the taxpayers should wish the village to buy. One member offered to go as one delegate to Victoria if any organization or the church should wish it. The offer was hot taken up and there was absolutely no suggestion that the ratepayers would sell anything. They had, probably inadvisedly,' attempted to bring the Gibson family and the church together. The ratepayers association should be represented by a larger number of taxpayers, which would make it a more _useful organization. Unfortunately very few take an interest in the affairs of the village. There was also an incorrect statement in Dec. 8 report in regards to the seaplane float. There was some discussion but the meeting decided it did not know enough about the matter. M. E. TELFORD (By Mrs. M. Newman) Mrs. D.

In Canada's northland there are periods-of scarcity followed by renewal of abundance. These affect all the small animals. The Arctic Fox, the most important fur-bearing animal in our Arctic, has a foUr-year cycle similar to that of the lemmings. The lemming % can increase - from scarcity to incredible numbers, and every fourth year there is an overflow supply. The lynx reaches a peak about every ten years at the same time as the snowshoe rabbit. from RICKARD, CRAWFORD & Co, CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS Post Office Building ��� Sechelt P.O. Box 373 ���^885-9515 WHEN farming was BEASTiy The trouble with plowing, by beast, power, back in the days of primitive man, was that usually man's muscles gave _ out before the beast's. Since/then we have learned to harness more manageable sources of powder to do our plowing and other work, and our stand- ard of living has never been higher. Today Canadian farmers rely on petroleum-powered horsepower rather than animal power, and Canadian farms are among the most efficient in the world. Canadian farmers can depend on oil supplies wherever and whenever they need them���and at reasonable prices. The price Imperial receives for tractor gasoline has gone down, rather than up, over the past ten years. IMPERIAL Oil.

A capacity house, filled Sechelt Elementary School activity hall on Friday evening, Dec. lo for the concert which pupils and parents had helped prepare by making costumes and supplying props. Master of ceremonies, Pat James, ably introduced the young artists and the class numbers. Grade one youngsters started Grade one youngsters san^j \"Good King Wenceslas,\" did a wee folk dance and \"Skinned the Snake.\" They looked very appealing. Mary Lamb and Dianne Ono of Grade five combined their voices to sing \"Winter Wonderland.\" Four stage-hands from Grade six had meanwhile prepared the setting for the play \"The Shepherd Who Came Too Late.\" Peter Poulsen, of grade five, had the leading role of the lame boy who tried to journey to Bethle hem to see the Christ Child. Everyone enjoyed the choral reading \"What is Christmas?\" by the grade two class, with solo parts by Donna Wilson. Between speaking parts, five Christmas songs were sung with gusto. The old favorite \"Little Women\" was presented in a play \"Christmas Breakfast\" by the grade five girls.

JIM LARKMAN Radio & TV Store J & B Store, Gibsons i i _\\ Following a short intermission grade 3 enjoyed singing the \"Chipmunk Song\" to the accompaniment of rhythm instruments and the glockenspeil played by Barbara Payne. The three perky chipmunks wanted to keep right on singing it! A variety dance and drill number by some of the grade 6 girls was. colorful and well executed. Clare Ann Lawrence, Sharon Lawson, Donna Nelson and Eileen Nestman of grade 3 recited 'Christmas Decorations\" very well indeed. Meanwhile all the grade 4 class had been waiting to get on the stage to bake their economical Christmas dinner,* \"Blackbird Pie.\" Both they and the audience got a laugh out of it. Next was Jo Robilliard who gave .with feeling the beautiful Christmas story from the Bible. \"The Shepherd Who Couldn't See the Light\" by the rest of the Grade 6 class was the final play. The angels sang very sweetly in this well-presented effort. The school children and had made all the murals and hall decollations, with the teachers supplying only the ideas. Mrs. Wallis accompanied on the piano * * * AT HALFMOON BAY There was hi jinks at the Halfmoon Bay school the night of Dec 18 when pupils held their annual Christmas concert under ihe direction of Mrs. Surtees assisted by Mrs. McLeod with Mrs. Doyle at the piano. Tan Cameron was M.C. and Frank Kingston gave the opening welcome. The pupils sang Deck the Halls, the audience joining in. Elaine Moffat recited a Christmas Song, Leonard Graves played a violin solo while the children dressed for the Nativity Play. The sound of carols being sung in the distance was heard, then Mary hold :ng the infant Jesus appeared with Joseph. Mary laid the baby in the manger and shepherds appeared and the Three Wise Men with gifts of frankincense and myrrh, kneeling before the Holy Child as they presented their gilts. A choir of angels appeared in the background and sang Joy to the World. Tove Hansen was Mary, Paddy Doyle was Joseph. A group of pre-school children almost stole the show. Tiny girls and small boys sang two hymns keeping perfect time to. the music played by Mrs. McLeod. Stephen Foley gave a recitation in a nice clear voice and Danny McLeod wrote a letter to Santa Claus. Two former pupils, now high school students, Janie Helmer and Lorraine Moffat sang the duet Jingle Rock, their voices blending well. The children then presentel a school play, \"A Bachelor's Lonely Christmas'\" which turned out to be anything but lonely. Leonard Graves concluded the program with a violin solo, Silent Night. The youngsters sang Jingle Bells and Rudolph the Red- Nosed Reindeer. A loud knocking at the door heralded the arrival of Santa Claus, laden with a sack full of gifts. But Santa had trouble when he tried to sit down, having eaten too many whale steaks, his tummy kept. slipping down.. jV *���'���* *** , AT ROBERTS CREEK introducing the Roberts Creek School Christmas Concert, Mrs. Pall spoke briefly of earlier concerts in the same hall when she was young, of the big, pot bellied stove which used to stand in the corner belching flames when one of the bewhiskered fathers put another chunk of wood into it. The Nativity Play performed by Grades 5 and 6 had been written for them by Mr. McCall, and has since been accepted for publication by a publishing house. Mrs. Ball explained this was a world premiere for \"A. Night of Glory.\" Mrs. Galliford's Grades 1 and 2 opened with a clever adaptation of the Teddy BeaTs' Picnic and the Three Bears. The stage quickly filled with small brown bears all intent on having a good time. They sang, recited, and turned somersaults and we felt really sorry for Baby Bear when he wasn't allowed to join them. However, the porridge being too hot, the three Bears decided to go to the picnic after ali. During their absence their house was visited by inquisitive Goldenhair in the person of small Debbie Marsh. The Bears' return, Baby Bear's most realistic anguish on the discovery of his broken chair and Golden- hair's frightened scream as she ran all the way home brought the picnic to a close. Mrs. Warn's Grades 3 and 4 told of Christmas in other lands. Two Canadian children, Char- lene Berdahl and Don McKenzie were visited on Christmas Eve by a Christmas Tairy, Lynn Paction, who brought children from far countries, dressed in gay national costumes to tell of their Christmas traditions with Mrs. Birkin supplying music. In between the plays carols were sung in which the large audience participated. \"A Night of Glory,\" the story of the Nativity, proved once again that children can rise to the occasion with a maturity beyond their years. These 10 and 11 year olds handled the adult prose with accuracy and understanding which would have done credit to a high school cast. The choir entering from the back of the hall in candlelit procession assisted with appropriate carols. John Gibson, as Eli the narrator, had the responsible position of holding the whole story together, with long speeches given with real storyteller charm. The children, word perfect and assur ed, could be heard clearly at the back of the hall. There was no Christmas tree this year and no social with refreshments following the concert as there is no PTA. Candy donated by Mr. Stevens was given to the pre-schoolers and the youngest school children. ���^^^S-^��SJ^��2^ Hr* Management and 1 Standard Motors -.'

GROUNDED GEESE For a period of perhaps six weeks during the summer adult Canada geese are incapable of flight, owing to the moulting of their wing-feathers. At such time they become much less obvious on the nesting-ground, sulking in the marsh and brush where they rarely are seen. By the time the adults, and,, the yearling birds that do not breed, have moulted most of the young are strong in the wing. Then family groups gather in flocks and move slowly south* sometimes remaining. , for several .weeks in certain^ districts where &od is obtained safely and in plenty. Coast News, Dec. 22, 1960.

Give a cold prompt attention as soon as it starts. Stay at home in bed, drink plenty of water and fruit juices, eat nourishing meals and stay out of drafts. That way a cold will likely only last one day rather than a week or more if you ignore it.

S ii.i; PURE PORK OF COURSE If lb. By Bill Nicholls The 1960c;Bronze Gloves is history now but for four hardy youngsters from the Peninsula Boxing Club the memory should linger for some time. Representing the lone out-of- town entry in the two-day novice tournament, the local boys put on a splendid showing. Tiny Jimmy Scorgie was the biggest winner of them all as he was crowned 50 lb. champion after he soundly thumped Stephen Tinley of St. Anthony's who called it* quits after the first round. For his efforts, Scorgie, as well as other champs and runners up, received an engraved trophy. Eigth-year-old Kenny Verhulst the other Peninsula Club finalist, put up a real battle before losing a close decision to Georgio Colvin in the 55 lb. class. The other two Peninsula entrants, Jimmy Bothwell and Paddy Beaudoin, were eliminated in the Friday night draw. Bothwell, fighting twice due to the large number of boys entered in the 75 lb. division, looked very sharp. In his first bout he handily decisioned Don Turner from South Hill, but Don Roy of Vancouver College ended Jimmy's hopes of entering the finals by squeaking out a rather unpopular decision despite a puffy right eye. Beaudoin and Stevie Ayton of South Hill clashed in the 60 lb. division in a real crowd pleas- cr with Ayton getting a hard fought win. All in all the kids put on a very impressive show and promised to be heard from again. The local club is planning a* card in January and following that trainers Frank Zantolas and Ted Hume will enter a few boys in the Emerald Gloves on Jan 21 and 22 in.Vancouver. ; E & St BOWLADROME By Ed Connor High team three goes to the Men's League with 2817 and Oops of the Gibsons Mixed \"B\" topped high team single with 982 Sig Rise topped the week with ���a nice high three game total of. 7789, followed by J.
