Centennial Project! , If George Zukerman, who introduced the Overture Concert ���series to Gibsons, can main- tian the standard he has set in the first two concerts, the success of the venture is assured. Last Friday night's concert with mezzo-soprano Betty Allen was to say the least outstanding, equally with the first artist Arthur Poison violinist. From her first number, Ga- lupi's Eviva Rosabella to the final encore, George Gershwin's .Summertime from Porgy and Bess;, Betty Allen captiviatedi her audience with commanding but agreeable personality. The explanations she offered of various numbers were not only interesting but down to earth, direct and without pretension. The program included songs in French, Italian, German and English and Betty Allen seemed quite at home in each*of the languages. It is not often a vocalist appears to have perfect freedom in an array of languages butifietty Allen was equally good in a light Handel number as she was in the Bizet Habanera from Carmen or the Roland Hayes' Life of Christ spirituals. Her rangeof musie froni the effort be made to increase membership. He was supported by George Zukerman, Vancouver representative of Overture Concerts who spoke of the possibilities available if sufficient members were obtained. Reid Nibley, accompanist for Betty Allen played magnificently throughout, considering he joined-Betty Allen only the night before at Boise- Idiaho and flew with her to Vancouver. . Mr. Nibley usually plays in the Salt Lake City area but has accompanied Betty Allen to British Columbia for a concert tour in the province. Mr..-Nibley is a music ' * structor in the University Utah, and does a great mar appearances as a piano soloist. Many at social Betty Allen and Reid Nibley at an informal -.evening party following their Friday concert proved as lively and entertaining as they had been in the hall.

Thanks Mr* Zukerman It would be fair comment to say that few people who subscribed to the three concerts of the Overture Concert series expected the high quality experienced in the first two concerts with Arthur Poison, violinist and Betty Allen, mezzo-soprano. George Zukerman who promoted the series for Gibsons with the aid* of the local committee can be congratulated for the fine quality in artists he has produced in the first two concerts. If any individual on leaving the high school auditorium after hearing either artist did not feel satisfied he or she must need the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic combined to suit their musical taste. It speaks well for the future of Overture Concerts that its opening events were of such quality. It should also be of great assistance to the local committee to obtain a greater subscription list for next year's series���because, based on the enthusiasm of this season's subscribers the "sales pitch"will not be so tough. There are plenty of supporters now. Last year it was a handful -composing a loosely-knit committee. Next year there will be close to 150 individuals who have profited from spending an evening listening to superb music. What is your attitude? "Criminal ��� a person guilty of a wrong violation of the law." A hard-bitten definition, that, out of the cold, factual columns of the dictionary. It makes a criminal out of the motorist who dWves 31 miles an hour in a 30-mph zone or 21 miles an hour over a level railroad crossing. Under the definition, Joe and Harry are both criminals if they bet each other on who can drive to the Smith's place faster. They become liable to stiff fines, Imprisonment and lcence suspension. Enforcement of the law seldom hews that close to the. line. But as the Canadian Highway Safety Conference points out, drivers as,!well'as pedestrians should constantly be aware^#$ the fact that there are laws governing highway movement atitj^mose laws can-be, and frequently are, enforced to tlie letter.

NEWMAN The Family Herald* December 6 issue contained a story with photographs, of Mrs. Jack Reeves of Roberts Creek. Possibly she is better known in Eastern Canada and far off countries than here in the home phe has occupied since 1914, _ when she came here as a bride to the acres her husband had pre-empted in 1907!. Mrs. Reeves is an excellent and energetic cook and provider, judiging from . the endless prizes she has won in fairs and exhibitions throughout the peninsula. In the home-cooking, canning and fancy work departments her name is well known. But there are few who know that she is also an artist of considerable fame, she expresses herself in beautiful natural dyed colors she weaves into her loom and in the experimental spinning of divers wools from many animals.

HISTORICAL and OTHERWISE Article 5 I mentioned earlier the clam canning venture at the mouth of Langdale Creek, -which also did not last. About 1910 a group started a saw-mill on the property where the boat-building works now is. This was a fairly good small, mill, though with no. planer, and operated for several years About the.same time th Port Mellon pulp mill was started, .and for many years had a chequered career. Exacty why it' was started I never learned���perhaps a stock selling scheme, perhaps to get a grant of tracts of government timber. That had become pretty well accepted! as proper pro-* cedure; a group would undertake to build a mill, and get a grant of timber. They were not likely to lose, as if they could operate at a profit, on practically free stumpage, all well and good. If *not, they could close . down and the timber holdings would be worth more than had been invested in the land. An example of this latter were the mills at Beaver-Cove and Swanson Bay, and as far. as that goes, Port Alice, who seemed to intend the same \\ game, but were foiled when Brewster became Premier in 1916, and ordered them to operate "or else". The Powell River Co., of course, got timber grants the same way but they were really operators, and over the years have made' capital investment much, greater than the original timber grants were worth (at that time, anyway) on King- come Inlet. It does seem doubtful if there was an original intention to operate the Port Mellon mill; I have been told that the machinery installations were very worn when installed, and out moded even at that time. Since then there have been many shut downs, much more than operating time; many changes in ownership, and quite likely, more stocks soldi. For the last few years, however, it does ap-r pear as though the mill has at last got on to a sound Operating basis. About 1912 Harry Roberts started a saw-mill at Roberts Creek, which under his and succeeding ownerships operated for a long-term. Also about this time, Bert Whittaker started a mill at Sechelt, on Porpoise Bay. Near the same time Champion and White opened - a gravel supply pit near the mouth of Dakota Creek, at Hillside, which has operated! almost continuously ever since. An interesting thing that not many people are ��� aware of, is that before the turn of the .century a slate quarry was opened up a couple -of miles west of McNab. Greek, right on the beach. It was finally abandoned, because, as I was told, the slate would not split* true. I believe there is a similar outcropping of slate, with similar weakness, on Jervis Inlet near Deserted Bay. During the years, of course, there have been many small mills oerated, some very small. A few were really more in the hobby category, than economic enterprise. I watched one such operate, a water-power affair, where I timed the head-saw in cutting one board! from a 16- foot long bolt, of soft cedar. The cut took almost 30 minutes the operator sitting alongside, drawing contentedly on his pipe. . For some reason these mills were all lumber mills, with or without a planer. No shingle mill was ever ventured, which seems surprising in view of the plenty of good quality cedar available, and the fact that equipment to handle tlie material could be much iighter, and less costly, than to handle heavy saw logs. So far, as I know the only shingle ' mill near the district was at the-head of Salmon Arm Clowhom Falls, where a mill,' with.I think four machines, was established, operating on water power from those falls. I believe it was installed by the Iowa Shinge people, later taken over by the Whittal -interests. e This mill' operated "for a number (of years, much of the timber being floated down Clowhom Lakes and river, and over the falls. \\ ������ As mentioned earlier; most of the early settlers, andl of those coming later, seemed to have some form of agriculture in mind. It was not too hard to get some ground ready for the plow for a start���between the stumps-, of course. ��� There was little brush or second growth for. many years." The logs on ���the ground were easy to burn, plenty of cedar for fence rails. Almost no attempt was made to remove stumps, other than 2 Coast News, Feb. 14, 1957. sometimes burning off the tops, leaving the roots in the ground. To take out the stumps required blasting powder, which cost money, of which there was little to be had The farmstead was usually an acre or so surrounded by a rail fence, a garden plot to supply vegetabes for tlie family, a hay-field- for the winter stock food, and a few fruit trees and berry bushes. I remember about 1901 when along with another kid> Hector McCall, we visited the Langdale place, on the south bankof the Langdale canyon, near the tOp . of what is now known as the Cole- . man road. . JEven at that early date this place was already deserted, and -.neveryre-occupied. Hector and I found, of all things, a tree of peaches loaded ���with fine ripe fruit. We certainly went to town on the fine juicy peaches. There did hot "seem to' ever be much return in the way of produce, actually shipped out, except for #some small and' fa-' ther irregular consignments of livestock. During the years up to perhaps 1920 there was fairly gobd open range for stock; after the fires the land grew up with many edible native growths, and a good deal of grasses and clovers from the bull-team, and horses used in the logging. Later,, of course, (Continued on Page 7) 7 For Guaranteed; y Watch and Jewelry Repairs CHRIS'S JEWELERS ���vVork done on the Premises WE BUY OLD GOLD Phone 96 Secheli. TiW" VEAfcS AGO THIS .

The funeral service for Ole Karlsen Engen of Sechelt was conciucted by the Rev. Canon H.U. Oswald of Gibsons, in the Burrard Funeral Chapel. North Vancouver, Thurs., Feb. 7. Mr. Engen, aged 75, died on Feb. 2, in St. Paul's hospital, following a lengthy illness. ��� Born in Norway, Mr: Engen migrated to the United States as a young man, later working at various trades in Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver. He was last employed in the pulp andi paper mill at Woodfibre as an engineer and valve repairman, .until his retirement five 'years ago at the age of 70 years. He then moved with his wife to Sechelt, where he built his attractive little home in the village. A man of many hobbies, he as especially devoted to violins, boats and gardening. He leaves his wife Agnes, one brother in Surrey, B.C., a brother Thorwald and a sister Karen Brasten, both of Norway. Pallbearers were: Wesley Byberg, brother-in-law of East Helena, Montana; Jim Engen, nephew, Vancouver; George Birnie, Horseshoe Bay; Joe Robinson, Eric Knudison and Tom Parish, all neighbors in Sechelt. Mrs. Engen's mother, Mrs. Elise Hogfoss, Fairdale, N.D., - who has been in Sechelt since Mr. Engen^s earlier serious illness, two sisters and their husbands, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Larson, Princeton, Minn., and Mr. nd Mrs. Wesley Byberg, ���East Helena, Mont, were present at the funeral. A brother, Adolph Hogfess paid a brief visit, stopping off from a flight to Alaska shortly after Mr. En- gen's death. Mrs. Engen accompanied! her relatives on Saurday to the United States for a two month's rest. en s wear M MM Mm V^IJLEr For Rent Suite for Rent No Credit M store expands Marine Men's Wear, Cibsons, has Tbeen forced'to expand to accomodate increasing business.

The merchandise will be arranged in departments, with movable stands and racks, which lie feels will be a better arrangement. Light wall color at the rear of the store with fixtures finished in light woodis, takes away from the appearance of depth, and appears to addl to the width.

Previous attempts have been thwarted so often and jealousies and antipathies are so easily aroused that the idealists become dismayed. Eut a few things should be remembered. A century ago, warefare between nations seemed inevitable. Tennyson's couplet expressed the general feeling: "Their's not to reason why. Their's but to do and die." Small groups of men. in various countries decided foreign policies, and expenditures were made with little or no consultation of thepteople., Marked advance has been made in this . respect. The building of a new warship called for explanation; people, at least, want to know the reason why. . Not many thinking people regard war as inevitable���at least in lands , where freedom of press is per- " mitted The extent to which radio is used is bound to lead to wider understanding between nations even in places where there is little freedom of speech In spite of those who fear peace is a pipe-dtream, it can be said tthat a cen'tury���even haljf a 'century���has seen a big step 'forward: In thousands of pulpits the subject has been discussed; there- can be very few ministers of religion pf any group, who have not ,Tcbh- stant fear of p^imism and cynicism., But > the^-firs��: gr^y ������* strealcs of dawn haVe app��ar��d!7 These lines by.
