T... it has already been arranged that the club obtain Crown Reserve* property of considerable dimensions at a cost of $20, of which $10'is for the land and T$10 for legal fees on the transfer bf land. Based on uncertainties that have arisen in both village commissions, the department has reiterated what will have to be done so as to clarify the issue - for the commissioners and the public generally. This letter dated April 18 has been sent to both village commissions: ,..- ���.,���\" Corporations of the Villages of Gibsons and Sechelt: It is regretted that certain misunderstandings have arisen as a \"result of our previous correspondence and the following points are: being detailed to clarify the issue. ^AA The minimum dimensions required for a public licensed airport are 2,000 ft. long, 200 ft. wide with 50 ft. cleared on each side making a total width of 300 ft. Approach clearing at a ratio of 1:25, 500 ft. wide must be established at each end of the landing strip. When the proposed airport has been developed to the above minimum standards the corporations would be in the logical position to apply for the airport tO; be licensed. It is urged that/the corporations immediately; acquire lot 1528 Coast District for devel-'; opm'ent as an airport. While1 lots 1592, 4092, 1029A and the west half of lot 1561 Coast District, referred to in-our letters of March 26 and April ��, 1957, are desireable in connection with long range planning for ultimate development, theT procurement of any part or all ' of these additional properties should definitely not postpone or delay the immediate acquisition of lot 1528. Nor would such a delas-- in acquiring these additional lots necessarily prevent tlie. corporations applying for federal aid. With regard to federal aid, this may be applied for when (a) tlie minimum land . re-: quired for airport purposes is in the name, of a municipal body and (b) when develop-: ment has reached the stage where facts and figures indicate .the municipal authority, has made a start to get development underway. Such re-' quests for grant-in-aid should be submitted in the form ot a brief presenting reasons, y facts and figures, whereupon it is submitted to the Bureau of Ecotiomics for consideration. a summer campaign :T The Joint Forest Products Safety Committee have announced that the 1957 Safety ���'������; Week campaign will be held M^ay 6-11. The week-long campaign is being sponsored by government, labour and Trftanagement organizations ^to ciit the toll of accidents in the forest products industry. XX Last year's Safety Week drive resulted in a 50 % reduc- ; tion in the number of accidents for that period. yy. Premier W.A:C. Bennett announced that tiie Government of British Columbia has issued a formal proclamation back- yihg the campaign. He said forest products workers must be helped to develop the maximum safety consciousness, for success or failure ��� of the campaign will hinge to a large extent on the workman himself. i In 1956, 115 workmen were killed in the forest products industry, 9,940 were injured. , X To signal the start of the campaign, the labour minister, ilyle Wicks, will raise the \"No Accident flag\" at the Workmen's Compensation Board Re- 2iabilitation Centre on Monday May 6, at 9:00 a.m. X Many hundreds of No-Accident flags will also be raised on the same day in forest products plants throughout the province. If there; is .'an, acci- qe11* in a plant? or operation the flag must be lowered.

To offset misconceptions concerning establishment of a municipal airport near Wilson Creek it should be made clear that $he municipalities of Sechelt and Gibsons are not involved in any huge expenditure while the airport is being established or when it is established. First, the large tract of, land available for the airport will cost $20, half for the Crown Reserve land and the other iialf for legal fees. Secondly, a boundary���-arid boundary only ��� survey will be made to establish the legal area occupied by the airport. This may cost in the region of $500. Talk of having to purchase expensive property in the vicinity of the airport is incorrect and further, if any large outlay of cash has to be made through municipalities, the municipalities Wy law are forced to seek approval of ratepayers before they can,spend such money. The idea that a 5,000 x 500 foot paved runway would have to be constructed is also erroneous. Requirements called for by the federal Department of Transport are for a 2,000 x 200 foot * runway with a 50 foot clearance on either side. This runway will Se available to light craft only and will be a graded runway. Suggestions have been made that establishment of the airport would bankrupt both Sechelt and Gibsons. Several hundred municipalities across Canada have taken part in similar airport schemes and if any one of them has; gone bankrupt by go doing, The Coast News will be quite willing to publish such Biformation. 'It could be surmised that officials of the federal Department of Transport are somewhat \"browned Off\" by misconceptions that are befogging the issue. The department is doing its Best to help Elphinstone Aero club officials establish.an airport and tlie provincial lands, department has also helped. Very little 2&ow stands in the way. Do we get an airport Or don't we? ime for a change It does seem strange that a man hauling a 'horse behirid an auto at the-rate of two miles an hour should be charged with impeding traffic and fined while owners of cattle, are allowed tP let them stand stock still in the centre of a much travelled highway and get away with it by pleading immunity under provincial laws. In this case justice is definitely blind. i THEY SELDOM ^HAPPEN ..���It is ,an old saying that..* tlie worst troubles are .baseless and aeldojoi happen....Most, of us. can ieme^ber things about twhich we Jfxetted send perhaps lost sleep T but we have lived, lftng ���enough to laugh ; at ourselves*\" lor'oiir folly. In any Tcircum- fence Tthe sensible thing is to .��fb. pur best ��� making sure it jsT our best ��� and' leave the iest. We cannot carry to-day's load and: tomorrow's with the strength of to-day. Actually when we worry uselessly, we ^akke ourselves unfit to carry the .burden about which we are Apprehensive. .T^ears^ago I .knew \"a lad in ifhe north of England who. had to Journey to. London for any ^am. --.-He-: worried so .much that when he. entered ?the testing room, he became ill and after a few minutes: had to 4eaye and was.not allowed to jteturri. That' was a lesson I >aever forgot. -It.is often said that, next������������to . tne; Bible, Pilgrim's Progress- % \"the most widely read book in. the World. Anyone who has g-ead it will remember such interesting places as the City of Destruction, the Slough of De- ���spond, the Hill Difficulty,; the Valley of Humiliation, Doubting Castle, and many other places-which- Christian * saw-; in Bis pilgrimages Some of these were beauti* fed; others were ugly and dan-, serous. Qnje^of^the loveliest; ofy them all was the Palace Beautiful., Qn his way. there Christian saw two men running out to meet him, and they were terribly afraid. One man was named Timorous and the other Mistrust. Christian could not ���understand why anyone should be running back on\" the way he 'had come, so he said to them, ^What is the matter? You are attaining the wrong way!\" ., Timorous told him that they were pilgrims to the City of .Zion but that they were con- tantly meeting great dangers. Then-Mistrust said, \"And just before us lie a couple of lions and we could not think but that, if we came within reach, they would presently; pull us to pieces.\" Christian was hiniself alarmed at this news and for a minute was Tdiposed to ipin them in their;flight,-but;he.reflected upon-.alI.the perils he had met :and overcome, and he decided to press on. to the Celestial City. file, too saw the lions, before theflPalace Beautiful, and they roared savagely, but the porter told him that they were chained and could not do him any harm. He clapped his hands and went on until he stood before the gate where the porter was, and he was soon admitted. Thus he knew, as many others have learned, that for many people the greatest troubles never happen, j The savage looking lions are harmless. In Acts 13, there is the Story of the .deliveranceyof Peter frorA prison. As ��� He; and his '\"' angelic deliverer hurried -through the city, Peter remembered the iron gates that led into the city arid was concerned about them, but here . is what happened -��� \"When they approached the gates, they opened' of their oWh accbrtl.\" Ihere is truth in.tiiatTstoryTfor us; all. There are .many iron gates about which. we worry but they open of their own accord when we come to them. Our quotation is by President F.D. Roosevelt: The thing we have most to fear is fear itself. Conservation The B.C. Federation of Fish & Game Clubs have launched a drive throughout B.C. to raise funds for an expanded program of public education and conservation. The appeal for funds will be made to individuals and industry by mail and dircet contact canvass by members of the federation directorate. Anyone who is interested can contact his local fish and game club, or write the Secretary of B.C. Fish & Game Clubs, 125 Talisman Avenue, Vancou- er, B.C. All donations will be acknowledged. Article 15 With the population growing there began to be more avenues for pleasure and' recreation. Probably most get-togethers were for dances and similar functions. There was also some attention to music, at first, mostly instrumental, and usually of the \"hay-seed\" type. Only a few could read music, and played by ear as best they could but as nobody present could do any better there was just as much enjoyment. As time went on, vocalists began' to be heard from, and instrumentalists with some degree of training also appeared. Many of4 these were local boys and girls, and some were very able performers. One girl who lived here for some years, Miss Boyd later, I believe, played violin with tlie Metropolitan Orchestra in New York City. * * * Ball games, tennis, badminton, etc., began to be a regularly enjoyed pastime. Boating of course, was always here, but that was so much a part of tlie daily life of many of the community that it was hardly looked upon as recreation. Fishing was similar. In years gone by the salmon were here, and could be taken, in numbers, and of sizes almost unbelievable now-a-days. But for years most of the sea fishing was for the frying pan and the salt barrel or smoke-house. Trout fishing was plentiful, but here again the element of sport was somewhat lacking. Very little, if any, fly-fishing was done; partly, perhaps because most of the small streams were difficult to fly- fish. More particularly, probably because so fai; as the kids were concerned fly gear cost money, and that we didn't have. We could usually, rake up ten feet or so of some sort of'light line, whittle put a wild cherry pole, get a hook of sorts a buck-shot for sinker, and there were plenty of fat; shiny worms around the barn-yard. And we were then all set for a Sunday morriing, or the afternoon, if we had to get wofrd iii the morning, y . . r.-AA' y.%XX:%iy:%X y : Hunting also was primarily, at least in the early days, for ��� the larder. I did plenty of that; but I think I have had more real enjoyment through hunting than any other form of recreation. The earliest settlers have . told me that when they first came deer were \"really scarce. They came- in later, when the . forests WerefelledT I have witnessed the same thing at many other points on the coast. Deer are almost entirely absent in Virgin forest ��� there is no feed there for them. Ifoey come along and multiply when - the forest is cut arid the sun gets to the ground, bringing along the many edible weeds and young saplings that can be browsed. Tri time, of cowrae, the second-growth timber wins out, and again the land becomes relatively barren of available feecj^ for game. The Tsariie a thing - seemsT; true of grouse. So far as I have heard, there was. never elk here (or wapiti, to give the rriore correct name) during the time of the white man. There were, of course, plenty of black bear, arid some mountain goat, perhaps not on Mt. Elphinstone, but certainly behind Dakota Creek and Port Mellon. Plenty of wild ducksi, thobgh this never seems to have been an important alighting place for: geese; Sechelt Inlet was better. * ��� * '��� Read The Real Estate Column On The Want Ad Pager Apparently there were quite a few wolves for some years, the ��� big r dark colored timber wolves. Mr. Gibson told of he and one of hasTcqws being chased down: the skid-road right into the barnyard by a pack. We lived at;'Roberts Creek during: the winter 1901- 1902, and I ofteih heard the packs howling at night. I have come,;onto ��� their sign several times; the last was during the heavy snow of January, 1916, when several were running deer in the Williamson Landing country. I was hunting in there, and once caught a glimpse of two wolves, but was too slow to get a shot. But when we first came here the deer arid grouse were very plentiful; I got my first, rifle when I was nine years old, aiid used to go behind the clearing and get a couple of grouse nearly every night after school during spring, summer and fall All this was strictly pot-hunt- way. The matter of \"closed ing, but was lots of fun any- season\" never occurred to us kids; nor to the grown-ups '<��� either, I guess. Sale of game was legal in those days, in the fall months, and one kid told me that he had made enough money to buy his first shotgun by killing grouse with stones. * ���*{: \"ft When one thinks of the endless series of hunting accidents accidental fire-arms discharge, etc., of late years, both concerning Ygrqwnrups arid teenagers, it seems impossible that conditions and freedom such as we grew up with could exist. Long before we were 12 years of age, most of the other boys and myself had graduated from the .22 class, and were carrying heavy rifles. Before we Were that age I think all of us had been far beyond the saddle of the mountain behind here, iritb the canyon on the far side. Yet there were no accidents. To us fire-arms were a part of our lives; a tool to be properly used; something that gave us a feeling of complete independence and, self-reliance ��� we were as good as anybody else. But it was forcefully borne into us that rifles were to be handled properly and \"with care; that they were never to be handled without first* and immediately ascertaining whether there was a cartridge in the chamber; and they must never under any circumstances loaded or unloaded, be permitted to be pointing at any person, uriless the custodian of the weapon was prepared to fire to \"kill. And after many years of see- , ing hundreds/perhaps thousands, of both men and deer in the woods, I never yet saw a man that looked or moved like a deer, or vice versa. Perhaps the kids of those days were precocious, perhaps they \"grew up\" young, but they did seem to grow up with a sense of personal responsibility;\" pride if you like. (To be Continued) NOTICE R.
