The financial aspect of the Sechelt district school board's referendum seeking $339,000 for additional school property, rooms and equipment was explained. The explanation omitted a vital point and to give all Coast News readers correct facts the breakdown is published again with the omitted information added. .-;.'. Here is the breakdown: ' From $339,000 to 57 cents is quite a drop. The $339,000 is what Sechelt School District ratepayers are asked to vote on next January 25. in order the school trustees can arrange for more much needed classrooms and get along with its building program. The 57 cents per thousand assessment dollars is what ratepayers of the district will have added to their taxes to cover the financing of the amount required. Actually under the Home Owner Grant not many taxpayers will have to pay more than the required $1. Here is a breakdown of the referendum; amount showing just what district ratepayers will pay towards the $339,000 referendum: Total cost of program- . $339,000 District's share of that cost 169,500 1963 taxable assessment of this district $32,229,448 Cost .of the program for the first year (estimated) Principal repaymerit $17,000 Interest at $339,000 at 6% 20,340 Total payment for 1964 $37,340 Districts share of that total (Y2) $18,670 Increase in mill rate on total assessment of $32,229,448���.57 mills. At this point trie omission crept in. Thev last sentence ending showing an increase of .57 mills should have continued on to read ��� an increase of 57 cents per thousand dollars of assessment. As most ratepayers will be paying one dollar only under the Homeowner grant, the slightly more than half-dollar per thousand dollars of assessment will not create any increase as they still will pay $1 only. many friends .

We shall have to get used to that figure and stop marking our cheques and correspondence 1963 as quickly as possible. What can we hope for the New Year? We can try for the best there is. We might fall short and yet ��� we might jUst make it. One thing we can do and that is to show more kindliness to fellow human beings. It would be a simple thing to do. We can show more of the milk of human kindness towards our authorities and give them the support they require in order to carry on their chores of office. . .., A letter- written for a newspaperman's publication by I. H. Schwartz of Cincinnati!, Ohio, reads in part: "In some measure our unutterable loss is the cumulative effect of the selfish view of free speech no less than the anarchistic professional haters' views of their tights ... I have watched with growing fear the headline asset of the hate-news for many years. .. Has the press advanced by featuring the bigots?" Prime Minister Pearson during the holiday period also spoke up against the spreading of hatred and bigotry. There is a growing alarm at the general attitude which is growing against our constituted authorities, those, same, authorities who see that the right of free speech is"notcurbed''Tin. spifeof the attacks they must face. ' So perhaps if we during 1964 can stir up some of the milk of human kindness we can finish the year in a better frame of mind than we suspect possible. It could have been worse! A dark thought arises out of the recent long spell of rain. That dark thought is: What if that rain had fallen as snow? It would have been disasterous. Stores would not have been able to open because roads would have been blocked. The provincial roads department would have faced a real crisis. It would have been deep snow because one inch of rain represents ten inches of snow. During December we had 7.85 inches of rain. Transpose this into snow and you will have 78.5 inches of snow. In 24 hours near Christmas we Jiad 2.93 inches of rain or 29.3 inches of snow. So the expression one hears on the Sunshine Coast to the effect ���you do not have to shovel it ��� meaning the rain, should make us ��� happy that we live in the rain forest area or on the fringe of it. Rain is much less bother. Immortality for Imlach Sport has produced great literature. Starting with Pindar, who ranks next to Homer among the Greek bards and who wrote exclusively about the glories of the winners in the Olympic games, sporting comment has lavished on humanity a fine free-wheeling quality. Ring Lardner comes to mind; even after he gave up his sports' ibeat, among the best things he wrote was a series about a baseball player. Nowadays in some areas, breakfast is only a side-dish to enjoying the Canadian prize-winning Dink Carroll. , . Puach Imlach has, however, made a hard run for the 1963 stakes with one deservedly-immortal remark. It seems Punch's team had happened to drop a game. When interviewed on the cause of this setback, Punch said of the opposing team: "You have to give them the credit; they had the breaks." Love of the native A professor has said that the only Canadians who love Canada, their country, are Canadians who were born elsewhere. Sixty or more years ago Canada's population consisted mainly of French who had been here several generations and British Canadians who either had personal' knowledge of Britain or who had literary and family connections with "the old land." Yet memory says that there were a great many Canadians of English ancestry who were Canada first in their thinking even if they knew intimately the literary works ranging from Shakespeare to H. G. Wells. Of course, there were Englishmen who looked down on native Canadians as colonials who had automatically to approve not merely what the British constitu tionally thought, but also the overbearing whims of any Englishman who happened to be here. Many such, far too many such, were more difficult to assimilate into Canadian life than is a tropical bird in the frozen north.��... In the old days when an Englishman in Canada wished to exasperate .the natives he would assert, and believe, that he owned us. That is as if he had the king's commission to govern. No dictator could be quite so obnoxious as a person from the old land who felt superior to everyone in sight who might be a native Canadian. The people from Scotland have perhaps always been easier to get along with. They knew that they were superior to other peoples on the earth and that there was no need to assert it. HOW SOCIETY LIMITS OUR FREEDOM (By BRIAN KNOWLES) If bur Viking ancestors were able to. revisit the scene of their adventures, their mouths would drop agape at our material, gadgets. But they would wonder even more, I think, at us. They would wonder why we, with every, possible means1 of well-being and security, v are so obviously arid desperately distrustfol of life and of ourselves. Our more courageous ancestors had a matter-of- fact acceptance of success arid failure. Life was a testing ground How they stood the test was what mattered to them. They spent no time in worry about what society thought of their actions. We have been brought up in the tradition, if not the reality, of happiness and security. Unfortunately we regard both as a birthright. We go along like sheep with the trend of the day. If society thinks the job we are doing is degrading or not of a high caliber, even though we may be happy doing it, we are considered of a low class and are anxious to climb (?) to a job more acceptable to society. We may take our ulcers with us and contribute very little to our way of life, but because the new job has prestige, we seek it a^.d expect people to look ur> *? us for having it, we are born to be ruled by society. Life can be a great adventure, or it can be merely a process of vegetation and decay. Each of us has been given the ability to think-and act for himself. The individual, in the final analysis, must stand alone and settle the battle about life's meaning with himself ��� not depend upon so- .ciety to interpret it for him. We should accept life for what it actually is ��� a challenge to our quality, without which we should never.know of what stuff we are made. Japanese now print stamps The Japanese finance ministry's printing bureau has become so successful in printing stamps for other countries that it has had to turn down new orders. Although stamps have the ma. jor purpose, of showing .that pos- tage has been paid, they serve a second purpose, particularly, with smaller nations, as an advertising and promotion medium. Since these countries often do not have plants capable of printing stamps of the desired quality, the orders are going to Japan in ever increasing numbers. The printing bureau made its first foreign sale in 1947 when it printed several thousand stamps for the Republic of Korea: In 1945, the first big order came, 20 million stamps for the Republic of China to commemorate the birthday of Generalissimo Chiang Ka&Shek. In following years orders came from Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, Malaya, Columbia, Costa Rica and the United Nations. Total sales last year a- mounted to 260 million stamps and more than $200,000. Although a new highly automated printing plant was built in the spring of this year, the bureau has had to turn down stamp printing orders from Ethiopia, Indonesia, E. Salvador and Nicaragua.

(By MARK SEYMOUR) One of the most marvelous things which this century has brought us is flight.'. It is my belief that one. has not really lived until he has"climbed into the cockpit of ah" aeroplane and experienced the thrill of throwing of the ' shackles of his . captivity and soaring off into "'the vastness of the sky. :^.;:'' ..'. I distinctly, remember a day two years past when Dad took me flying. It was a day of uri- believeable perfection. We taxied to the end of the runway, turned, and proceeded < to take off. Though it may have seemed normal to anyone on the ground, ���tSiaJL UakfeJoff meant. somtething very special to me. It was the first time I had ever flown. Tim. idly at first, I took hold; of the dual-coritrol' column. It felt like an extension of my arm, ,and the rudder pedals, extensions of my feet. Through these I could 'feel' the plane and all its parts. When we had gained enough speed, a light feeling came over the stick. We were airborne. With a sweep comparable only to the stroke of a master painter, the trees and shrubs flashed by. As we gained altitude, details vanished and a view more beautiful than I had ever beheld flattened out before my eyes. To the right was an endless expanse of sea and to the left was the land, a carpet of green, interrupted by man's habitations and highways. Ahead was the sky. Nothing except the grandeur of that endless void occupied my mind and the rhvthmic beat of the engine in my ears. When Dad finally took the controls from me, I realized that we were about t0 land. The ground rushed up at an alarming rate. With what appeared to me as too slow a movement Dad brought the nose of the plane up. Sec onds later, the wheels made-con. tact.with the runway arid locked there. I sank back into my seat, ' very much disappointed. I: had returned to a humdrum world in which one, must live by a routine. Without the knowledge that I can climb into the vast sky and look down on the world below me, life would be a most'fruitless venture. COMMONEST FUR-BEARERS The white-footed mouse and its cousin. the ;deer: mouse ;are ;,the . pqmTnoTwst fur-bearing animals in Canada's forests. Because of the'.r nocturnal habits, we rarely encounter them but from dawn to dusk the woods are fairlv a- live with them scurrying about in search of seeds and insects. The whitefoot does not hibernate, but remains active all through the winter, living on' seeds stored during the warmer months. Their tracks, like tiny rabbit spoor, will often be seen on snowy stretches when dav breaks THE PERPETUAL OCEAN ..,.��� (By GLORIA BISHOP) The Ocean has a flexible personality with human qualities. Its long white fingers , grasp the shoreline and then retract, moving all the time, ^ grasping all within their reach!. This cold, crushing, fateful hand changes everything, then the Ocean folds its arm's, satisfied with its work. Cool-arid calm the water waste decides the fate of all within its' power. Violently thrashing, huge and terrifying when angry, the Ocean creates. unrest among its habitants. . Constant changes mark the wa. ter's visage. Now it is grey and humorless; now. bright arid splashy. Whichever mood it is in the Ocean applies its feelings li- 'berally, leaving no emotion untouched; bringing grief, happiness and thought. It is also false, with a pleasant surface above but eddying currents of wrath below. On days when anger turns to calm, the waters reflect on past, present and future, changing scenes with expert hand. A huge mirror, the Ocean, when misted over, hides sad tears or happy smiles; when polished, it reflects ithe sullen, fierce, creeping or flowing forms of its life. The waters embrace each new day with a rushing wave of enthusiasm and anticipation. In the evening the. Ocean rocks its children of the deep to sleep. With every hungry bite the Ocean steps farther inland. At all times the watery tide nourishes itself with a new supply of life to enter in and join its flora and fauna. . The waters dance wiith the grace and beauty of a ballerina or the swaying movement of a native dancer. The Ocean washes its face with a wave of pleasant; warm, sunlight or a refreshing bath of rain, water. It drinks in the cool rain from .the wide,; "wide ^'heavens -.������ Clouds dim the eye of the Ocean, and its spirits sink and, soar with the tide. All the worldwide news is gathered by the water, as they communicate frorii coast to coast. The Ocean embarks each day upon a long and tiresome journey, from place to place and back again i The water ,is constantly improving1 on its past.works.

At times, the only certain thing, in this world, is the Ocean with its flexible personality. Mainly about People The Davis Ottawa Diary By JACK DAVIS. M.P. Coast-Capilanp Constituency " It l^oks as if all Canadians over the age of 18 will b*e able to vote in the next federal election. This proposal was unanimously endorsed by a special, committee of.the House of Commons recently. All political parties participated in this; decision and hence there can be little doubt that everyone in the 18 to 21 age. group will be enfranchised early in 1964. The idea isn't new. Canadians can now vote at 18, provincially but not federally, in Quebec and Saskatchewan. They can vote at 19 in Alberta and British Columbia. Arrangements, are also being made to reduce the voting age from 21 to 18 in Ontario. Some of the reasons for this change are well known. All A across the country our young' people can go to work at 18, marry at 18, drive a car at. 18, and go to jail at 18. They can also join the Armed Services and fight for their country at 18. Indeed, as servicemen, they already have . the privilege of "Do you know what I really think? I think you're gradually revlacino me with /HJtn**t/n>nni" voting in a federal election at that age. "' What is more interesting is the effect that this widening of the franchise-will have ori election results. Young people under 21 do not have the dark memoriess. of their elders. They have no recollection of the great depression. Nor do they remember anything of World War. n. Today's 18 year old has actually spent his lifetime in an atmosphere of expansion. To this extent he can be expected to be more optimistic and less security minded than his elders. There is also evidence that today's 18 year bids are already taking a real interest in national and world affairs. They tend to be outward looking, recent surveys indicating. that they are more interested in travel and international relations. This, undoubtedly, is a reflection, of the fact that they are, on the average, better v educated than their parents were. ; Y^ I Numbers, are also significant. By reducing the voting age to 18 more than,750,000 voters will flock to the polls. This compares With a total of 900,000 Canadians oyer age. 70. The consequences insofar as. the political platforms of our federal parties are concerned, is expected to be far reaching indeed. Confidence, energy and an accent on growth will undoubtedly be stressed to a greater extent. National unity, as opposed to purely provincal and loeal considerations, will also tend to occupy the centre of the stage. Education will loom larger and Old Age Pensions will tend to slip somewhat. These and other changes in emphasis can be expected as a result of the inclusion of this large group of young people in the electorate of Canada. One young Yuletide visitor to the Sunshine Coast took home to West Vancouver a memory of it that he won't forget and proof, as well. - Ten year old Ian Thomson came to Hopkins Landing with his father Jim, uncle Willie and cousin Roy, to visit his grandparents, Mr; arid Mrs. Eric Thomson, and to get a Christmas tree off the family lot. The four then went to Port Mellon to have lunch with Ed and Iriga Fenwick, his uncle and aunt, and after lunch, Jim, Willie, and Ian went fishing^ Roy staying behind to make friends {w��th Inga's new- Shetland collie pup, Bessie. Ian tied into a 23-pound spring which took him and his uncle Willie of the red. rowboat, half an hour to land. It was a Christmas experience any seasoned fish erman would envy, and an inspiring start for a beginner, but there, is nothing ,.1'ike going out in the right company.

ROYALTY NEEDS A HAIRCUT Judging by recent news photographs, Canadian mothers Who believe in the economy and neatness of short haircuts will be wondering why English schoolboys, including Prince Charles, must have their hair as long as that of an English sheepdog. Turnover in a good cause The investor singled out one of the stocks in his portfolio for special commendation. It had more than kept pace with advances in industrial development in the country. It was worth .twice what he paid for it. It was paying a good dividend. "That's nothing," said the woman across the table, "compared with the pin I bought -Saturday afternoon from the white elephant table at the club bazaar. It's been bringing in a steady 25- cent income to one club or another every Christmas for years back. I've bought it twice myself." ������,..���..- ��� ��� The pin in question may well > continue to change owners anr f nually unless a small child buys it one day out of his allowance and it finds a permanent home in the corner of a mother's jewel box, a small gilt pin with simulated garnets, "a keepsake, of sentimental value only."

"After I cut Tom's hair, I'll show you how to use them, and you can-give the Skipper a real good haircut." Was it only my invagination, rv was there extra emphasis on the last adjective? Margaret is the sort of person who can. insult you, without you even being aware of the fact. "But I. cut'the Skipper's hair only yesterday," I protested. "I wanted him to look nice when you and Tom arrived from town." "I think she made a rather good job of it," said the skipper. "Only:two small nicks. You . can. hardly see them," he added, as he noticed trie glaring at him. ; "Your ears are certainly big enough to cover the nicks." I told him, a trifle peeved. "I defy anyone to do a good job of hair cutting with a pair of old-fashioned clippers," said Margaret, in that smug tone of voice that /always succeeds in irritating me, fond as I am of her. "It's like the -difference be-; tween using an electric power mower and a pair of old-fashioned, garden shears, for cutting your lawn." She accompanied this remark with a brief glance at. the Skipper's head. Power mower!. Garden shears! Whatr had these got to do with the Skipper's haircut, I wonder- ... ed. J knew there was an insult hidden , somewhere in Margaret's words, if I only had the patience and energy to, dig it out. .���....., "Hurry up and get on ..with . that haircut," called Tom impatiently .from the chair on the verandah.

Grade "seven boys repeated the finely co-ordinated gymnastic display of tumbling and pyramid buiiding which they had performed before the PTA the week before. With the recent additions of gym equipment this past year, we expect to see this activity develop even further. , Grade four from their studies of Canada wrote their own play Christmas in Early Canada, with the addition.of the Huron Carol', the Indians' song of peace. Here every pupil was reminded graphically of some of the. roots of our- Canadian traditions. And many in the audience were quite envi. ous of the costumes which would be fine for western games during the-holidays. With voices changing many grade seven pupils are reluctant to. take part in singing but find an interest.in music through the relatively inexpensive flutophorie. Grade sevens showed a remarkable progress in reading music and playing parts since the beginning of the term. The carols they played sounded particularly effective in two part harmony.' For a complete change of' pace the same group gave a swinging rendition of Jingle ���.Bell--P.o.qk.

Editor: Our children look to us, their parents for love and protection. Let's start giving them the protection they need in every way we can/ The penalty for child rape today is so lenient and yet it should be so intense. Children are powerless to do anthing against a rapits. It is up to us, their parents, to do something about it and we can. We must all write to Attorney General Robert Bonner, Legislative Building, Victoria, B.C. We must let him know how we feel and that the penalty for child rape should be the strongest perialty and not one of the least. ■ . :. ■ If we can get enough letters in and fast enough. They can appeal James Meeker's ten year ' sentence for his brutal rape of a 12 year old child and give him . ■a much stiffer sentence,of which it should have been in//the first place. —Lorraine.

In September, 1963, this boy two-timed me twice with sorry and that he; loved. me and the same girl: He-told me he was cared nothing at all about her. I forgave him; and: took him back, but I still have doubts. I don't feel that I can fully trust him. Is it right for me to feel;the way I do? Should I tell this boy how I feel? What should I do? Breaking up is the last thing I. want. I only .feel . this way when he is not.with me." OUR REPLY: Apparently, you fbrgaye-i-but you refuse to} forget Since you have ;siich doubts, you have not forgiven completely. You just went'though the motions. Two months later is not the time to tell this fooy you feel you can't trust,him. YOU should have given him this message back in September—and then put it out of your mind until he gave you some reason fOr doubting His sincerity. If the boy is sincere, you do him an injustice and at the same time make yourself needlessly miserable. K you have reason to doubt his sincerity, tell him how you feel; and why you feel this way. Just be sure you have'something to go on. A mere "feeling" that he is "two-timing" you; or that because he did so once, he will do so again, isn't enough You can't go through life worried about what "someone" is doing every moment they are not with you. There are other important things in'.life than demand , your; time and consideration—and hone of us can put forth the best effort at one thing while; our mind and;attention is devoted to something, else.

Tires tike inflation Are you neglecting to keep your tires properly inflated? Many motorists are., according to the results of a recent survey released by the B.C. Automobile Association. In an impromptu check of air pressure in 907 tires in several parking lots, it was found that 8.4 percent of the tires had less than 22 pounds per square inch air pressure, and 10 percent had more than 30 pounds. The range was all. the way.from five to 50 pounds. The BCAA emphasized that to be safe, motorists should adhere stfrictlfcr to the manufacturer's specifications on air pressure. "Tires with too little pressure are liable to failure, have a greatly increased wear rate on edges, and bulge at the side- walls," the auto-club said. "Over- inflation puts great stress on the casing, which may cause cracking and rapid wear on the centre tread." The BCAA urged motorists to give more attention to tire examination ill the interests of safety and better car care. Committee now at work II.

Private capital outlays, while less/than; expected, ,are higher than iri> 1962, with outlays for new machinery and equipment being particularly strong: In- the first ''ten;months,- housing, starts showed an increase of seven percent over last year and 90,- .000 new housing units are expected to be under- construction by December 31. While the devaluation of the dollar has helped Canadian ex-- ports -by ; making prices more' :'-competitive for some products, the B of M states, "Some of the increases ,��� have clearly resulted from more-'-, aggressive selling 'policies- vby Canadian manufacturers 'in' markets ' outside Canada." .:������'- The bank says that perhaps the most important factor in export growth has been the buoyant economic conditions in the United Kingdom and the United States.

This is! a perfect' one night project. First decide how many shelves you want. Carefully lay out the pattern on a piece of stiff cardboard, cut out with scissors, then trace onto fir plywood.. Three-quarter inch .plywood makes a sturdier looking ladder and gives a more authentic effect but a power jig or band ��� saw is almost a must to cut it. out. Three-eighth inch thick fir plywood works well and can be . cut with a coping saw. If your cottage decor is light simply seal the wood with good sealer and varnish. -If a dark. color is desired, stain and varnish. A dull or matt finish var-. nish is recommended. A white rope gives greatest contrast ��� arid "looks dressier.- Ordinary manila rope looks more rugged. Splice .the' ends in true ���. ship-shape fashion.
