CFP promotions for Davies, Sherman H. 7c per copy Effective April 26, Mr; C. B. Davies, Canadian Forest - Products Port Mellon resident manager, will assume the combined positions of 0 assistant manager of Canadian Forest Products Ltd. Pulp Sales, involving the sale of Port Mellon pulp throughout the world, and export manager of Canfor Pulp Sales Ltd., involving the sale of Prince George pulp, in all areas of the world other than North America, Mr. J. G. Prentice, president of CFP, has announced. At the same time, R. F. Pater- son,' general manager of, CFP pulp. production, announces that effective April 26, Mr. E. C. Sherman is appointed resident manager of the Howe 4Sound Pulp Division mill at Port Mellon.' TAs'i resident manager' of the\" Howe Sound Pulp Division since .PetOTiary.l, 1956, Mr. Davies has made an outstanding contribution to the,welfare of\\the company* and to the development of the>:Port Mellon mill. During these; years the capacity of the mill has.been almost doubled as a result of two. major expansion programs which were carried out under his management. > Mr. Davies' move to.pulp sales is promoted by a desire to strengthen this area of the company's activities at a time when greatly increased pulp production and more severe competition are anticipated. VJMr. Davies'in a message to the Port Mellon staff wrote: SCHOOL BOARD��� ferte of confidence \"I hope to be able to say goodbye, to each of you personally but in case, anyone is missed, I do want you to know that you have all contributed to the development of the Port Mellon mill that Mr. Prentice so kindly mentions. I would like to thank each of you, particularly those who have been here throughout the past nine years,' for your help and friendship. During these years we have had the fun, plus the work and responsibility entailed, of spending some thirty million dollars on major projects. \"Mr. Prentice states that the mill capacity has almost doubled but I think that we can proudly go further and claim that the record daily production during these nine years has climbed from 230 tons per day. to 600 tons per day and that average production has almost tripled during that time while we progressed into the manufacture of high grade fully bleached pulp. - \"The second notice announces Ed Sherman's appointment. This is one of the more pleasant features of the move and I am sure that you will all be to the Shermans the same help that you have_ been to us. Mrs. Davies and I are naturally sorry to leave Port Mellon vand its associations, despite the'fact that our new life should be most interesting. We expect to be back here frequently and I expect that Howe Sound pulp quality will be so good that this product will be easy to sell.\" P O hours On Good Friday Gibsons .post'. office will not be open to the; public and the rural route will1' not operate.

Dan Campbell, minister of municipal affairs last Friday night at a dinner in the Totem Room and then heard Mr. Campbell' in a public address in the Legion, hall expound on his department's new plans for the enlargement of organized municipal areas. The dinner which was sponsored by Sechelt's council was attended by about 30 persons all associated with municipal, work and ' their wives. At the public meeting later about 35 persons showed up. Councillor, J. Benner arranged the dinner. Mrs'. Christine Johnston, chairman of council, welcomed the visitors. Mr. Campbell described today's municipal setup as having grown up when not much was happening, with dozens of administrative devices and. artificially, de-^ fined boundaries. In the early 1950s the picture changed1 along with the old geography of municipal administration. Now we have a setup that contains within itself something like 15 jurisdictions. As a sample he offered the Victoria area with six municipalities and no unified action. Beaches Cemetery discussed meeting. Reg Adams;, chairman of the Library board, speaking to a Seating problem in the new li- rary in the new municipal hall raised by the aid of Councillor Fred Feeney, complimented council on its desire to accommodate the library. The heating problem concerned using electric heat instead of another type. Mr. Adams was advised to see what money he could raise first because council's budget for the year was already overburdened. - Coast-Garibaldi Health Unit replying to a letter on indiscriminate garbage urged council to institute a compulsory'garbage collection service.

There was one. dissenting vote, that of Mrs. M. Ball, last year's board chairman. Trustee Mrs. Celia Fisher was chairman due to-the absence of chairman J. Horvath. The motion moving the vote of confidence came, after considerable discussion on allegations which had been made by Mrs. Ball. The motion was made by Trustee Mrs. C. M. Volen and seconded by Trustee W. P. Malcolm. The issue came , before the board just after the reading of the minutes of two previous meetings, one a regular meeting'and the other a special meeting to discuss Mrs. Ball's allegations. At the morning meeting, Mrs. Ball questioned the authenticity, of the minutes of the special meet ing which she claimed did, not . record , anything of the , discus-. v sion on allegations that Mr.* John- was pointed out to Mrs? Ball that -- while such discussion was under way the school trustees were not in official, session\". .The/meeting -' came to order when it'discussed the plans'for new school construction. One . subject openly discussed, concerned a phone call' which Mrs. Ball claimed was made to her at the special meeting which she said she did not get. The phone call concerned a Health Unit meeting which Mrs. Ball was supposed to attend. Mr. Wilson, the secretary, remembered\" taking the phone call and confessed frankly that he forgot to , pass it on. It was not deliberate, he added. As a result of the morning discussion, Mrs. Ball moved that the department of education be . approached to investigate the administration of the school board. As there was no seconder, the motion died. ' - ' Show* pcupksolmuse! r. So \"popular is Sechelt's PTA Family Night that the show packed the activity room of Sechelt Elementary School for two consecutive nights, April 9 and 10, with all tickets sold out. The show opened with O Canada; by Mrs. Dorothy\" Stocfcwell, captain of the Girl Guides, and a color party on guard beside the flag. Mrs. Margaret Lamb, president of the P.T.A., welcomed all.

While four of the invitations were left, open to whoever desired to go it is quite likely\" that Magistrate Andrew arid Mrs. Chris Johnston, chairman of council would be there. Pender Harbor Chamber of Commerce has already arranged to- send six to represent that area. Sechelt's council also voted to make a grant' of $50' towards expenses for this event in Powell River. Sharon Maylea Accordion Institute. Mrs. Ed Lowe's pupils gave an exhibition of \"tap dancing. \"-Representing Halfmoon Bay was her 7 year old pupil, Rusty Cunningham who' later this month will be competing in the B.C. Dance Festival in Vancouver. There was some fine singing by 24 memibers of the school glee club and the Nine Teens sang old- time songs. There were Spanish dances. French songs, a gymnastic display and miming by the Pen Pals and .the, Surfers. - The children of the Indian village gave a harmonious rendition of Cruising Down -the River and an accomplished baton twirler from Grade 4 twirled her way into the hearts of the audience. The Old Timers turned out to ' be a group of 5 to 10. year olds from Selma Park singing old songs and dressed just like their grandparents. Bud Blatchford was caller for square dancing by his Roberts Creek children's classes and Pender Harbour was represented by two gifted guitar players. Folk songs were sung by Mr. and Mrs. Bud Blatchford and Tom Morrison and by the Rev. and Mrs. James Fergusson to the accompaniment of. guitars. The Unteachables proved to be a gifted group from Gibsbns consisting of Tony, Paul and Leo with guitars,, and singer Eloise Delong. This is the same group which will play for the Teen Dance being sponsored by the PTA on April 23 at the Legion Hall. Dancing will be i'rotri 8 to 1 a.m. Tickets are 50c single and 75c for couples C of C to be greeter of ferry Gibsons council Tuesday night decided to refer a letter concerning the taking part of Gibsons officials in the \"opening of the Co* mox-Powj^Itfver ferry, on May 15, over Jothe Chamber of Com* merce for its consideration. : Council was generally opposed to donating $50 towards the celebration. Chairman A. E. Ritchey said the trip was -of no interest to him. Councillor James Drum- mond'-was opposed to the request for a |50 grant. Councillor Sam -Fladager found the second letter from R.

The point that you appear to. object, to the most is the number of people representing each .area. It has been suggested that the Sechelt Peninsula send 20 people or 10 couples. This is not at all out of line with the other areas.

The provincial and federal governments will be represented, as-: will the Vancouver Fraser Valley and B.C. Travel Bureaus. (Continued on Page 10) At Gibsons council meeting Tuesday night, Mrs. John Glassford, speaking for numerous members of the Gibson family reviewed the old church cemetery's ' history ' and-. traced its course through Public Utilities Commission hearings down to the present day. She claimed the family had been harrassed by newspaper stories and wanted some action taken. She objected to one story which suggested the burial area be covered with a cement slab, which she said the family had turned down some time ago. As the discussion progressed it was discovered that council and the family were in close agreement as to what could be done but some councillors felt it had nothing before it. Mrs. Glassford said that Mr. Glassford had generally stated what the family desired, to more than one councillor. Councillor James Drummond suggested .council was waiting were polluted and parks had been overlooked all-because what was done years ago made sense at that time but now the situation be comes dangerous. There are garbage problems, sub-divisions with no playgrounds arid' other things .which,all .meant that growth and people created serious problems. Warming up to his topic Mr. Campbell with the aid of a black* board showed by graph how the government planned to form* regional councils which would cut across artificial boundaries. Regional councils would cover an area which might, contain a village and several types of improvement districts, such as water; garbage or fire prevention and so on. This central council, with representation on it from each of the municipal or improvement districts would become the functional unit for the entire area taking in'water, public health, library,\",planning and any other area requirements. Taxation in these enlarged areas''Would remain the same as before.1-' ' * s* \" . t Park plan Construction of a 12 by 32 i'oot* building by the municipality containing a booth, storage, for sports equipment and two toilets \"in-Sechelt's Hackett Park came from outside the village therefore * before.

Government accounts are still to come but in the meantime council needs cash. ;l: A Fairy tale affair New committee Formation of a new recreation committee for Sechelt was announced at last Wednesday night's meeting of Sechelt's municipal council, by Councillor Joseph Benner. The new committee will include Mrs. M: J. i Gross, Ray Clarke, Frank Newton,- Doug Wheeler, Mrs. C. L. Poteet, Robert Kent, Dick Branca and Hairy Gregory. Councillor Benner will be chairman. . y . A letter of thanks will be sent frorii council to Mrs. A. Dawe, secretary of the retired committee in which council will thank its members for the work they have done. ELEPHANT SALE House cleaning arid are you at a loss to know where to put those valuable' antiques? The Sechelt. Kinsmen are holding a White Elephant Sale on May 1 arid they will be only too glad to pick up any article which could be used in the sale.

WEST) Gibsons Hospitals Auxiliary's fourth annual Fashion < Show in Elphinstone Auditorium last Wednesday was a fairy tale affair. Could these gorgeous gals tripping the light fantastic toe along the carpeted aisle really be the same harrassed neighbors, frantically searching the supermarket for something different, and not too expensive to feed their families? Maybe the magic was in the clothes, gay, time-saving, mix and match play clothes, happy :\" pink suits for more formal occasions, extravagant patch pockets and rollicking frills straight from Mary Poppins, bright citrus fruit colors to make glad the heart.\" v Of course as in ail good fairy stories there was a Fairy Godmother, in fact in this case several with many willing helpers. Mrs. G. K. Madsen, whose lively .'. commentary. \\ kept the continuity of the program;. Thriftee Stores who supplied the fashions from their new spring .stock; Gibson Girl and Sandra Smith whose short, carefree hairstyling had obviously brought a sparkle to the eye and added poise to the models, and a host of behind the scenes good fairies who kept the show moving in spit-spot fashion. This year's simplified procedure was appreciated both by the large audience and those taking part, especially perhaps by the children who had nothing diffi cult to negotiate. The children who modelled the new styles from Todds were every bit as poised and professional as their elders, even the first timers. Little girls seem to be to the manner bom, though usually it's only Mother tucking him into bed who's privileged to see her young son looking so angelic. Mrs. J. Mainil's carefully chosen music kept little feet instinctively in time and provided just the right amount of moral support and atmosphere for the adults. Adult fashions were modelled by Miss Carol Anderson, Mrs. L.\" Brandys, Mrs. M. Clement, Mrs. J. Eldred, Miss Lynne Ennis, Miss Diana Hopkins, Mrs. B. Henderson, Mrs. J. Hope, Mrs. V. Murdoch, Mrs. G. Sabo, Miss Sharon Solnik, Miss Rhonda Watson and Mrs E.Wiebe. Children's fashions were modelled by Brian Edgren, Patsy Feeney, Yvonne Inglis, Michael; PSlling, Maria Schneider, Steven Sleep, Holly Walton and Marina.Wiebe. Burritt Bros.- provided, the carpeted aisle and the floral arrangements were from LissiLand. Sound Effects courtesy Gibsons Electric. The door prizes were won by Mrs. M. Leslie and Mrs. L. Pilling.'';: As a result of the Fashion Show the Hospital Auxiliary will be able to respond immediately when the hospital administrator asks for their help to provide for the comfort of patients. Visiting band to play A musical treat is in store for the residents of the Seehelt Peninsula when the Rutland Senior Secondary School Concert Band makes an appearance in the Elphinstone Auditorium on Friday, April 30, at 8:15 p.m. Playing in Gibsons and the following night in Powell River this band of 35 young musicians will be under the leadership of Band Instructor Lloyd Burritt. Lloyd is a graduate of Elphinstone School and many will remember his directorship of musical and dramatic events in this school when he was a student. Most outstanding was the production of The Mikado, and, several excellent one-act plays. Since leaving Gibsons, Mr. Burritt has obtained his degree in music from the University of British Columbia, and has studied in London, England. The program which the band will present includes music by Elgar, Beethoven, Bach, Rimsky- Korsakov, Debussy, Sullivan as well as more recent composers such as Hindemith. It will be necessary to billett members of the band for Friday night. Tickets will be on sale threvsgh the Elphinstone Junior Red Cross at $1 for adults and 50c for students and children. cil meeting on Wednesday night of lastVeek. \" ��� The proposal, still in the planning\" stage was placed before council - by Mrs. C. L. Poteet, representing the PTA in Sechelt. Following discussion it^was left \"toTCp1incjJlor Ben Lang :-to look ~ into the project and make a ,re- port to council at its next meeting. Mrs. Poteet's outline of the proposal considered having a caretaker living in the park. She also suggested that teenage residents who are in favor of the move would be put to work in managing the booth section at sports events, with proceeds from the trade by the booth being returned for further development of the park. The building would be constructed of cement blocks and there would be a septic tank. The cost of the building is expected to be in the region of $2,000 with volunteer labor added. Plans were drawn up by Dick Branca. It would be situated in vicinity of the flag pole corner of the park. The PTA would look after the furnishing of the building after it was constructed. Later in the riieeting a proposal that users of booths be charged 20 percent of their gross take, such proceeds to be used for park improvements, was turned down. It was suggested that auxiliaries such as the Hospital auxiliary, placing; its funds at the disposal of equipment needed for the hospital, would object. On Wednesday night of this' week council will meet to ^deliberate on its budget for this year and it is expected that then there would be further discussion on this project. 5 show up! Because only five persons turn* ed out for the Gibsons Recreation meeting in the Elementary School Activity room Monday night the meeting was called off. Present were Phillip. Lawrence, area recreation director; Eugene Yablonski of Gibsons Recreation committee; Councillor Sam Fladager, Gibsons; Helen Bezdeck, representing track and field, and a representative of Gibsons Rod and Gun Club. A future date was selected for another, meeting which will take place on Wednesday, April 28 .details of which will be announced nearer that time. PIES WANTED Sechelt Promenaders and Roberts Creek Square Dancers will be hosted by Gibsons Squarenad- ers club on Saturday evening, April 17 in Hopkins Hall starting at 8:30 p.m. Ladies of the Squarenaders are all asked to bring along a pie. 2 Coast News, April 15, 1965.

BRISK '65 TRADE The British Columbian in 1865 reported a brisk trade between New Westminster and Puget Sound ports. In one week the Alexandra brought 79 oxen and three horses from Olympia, the Diana brought 200 hogs from the same port and from Whidby Island the Eliza Anderson brought 500 sheep. STAGE COACH DAYS A splendid new stage coach was built in Victoria in 1865 for use by travellers to the Cariboo gold towns. Built by Duck and Sandover it would accommodate 16 persons \"on a pinch\" the British Columbian reported. (By SAM DAWE) My seafaring career began in May 1903 at the age of 14 on the tug Phoenix, built at Ballard ori Puget Sound in 1896 as the Clayoquot. It was I believe, engaged in the passenger service on the west coast of Vancouver Island, until acquired by Henry Bell-Irving & Co. Ltd. and renamed Phoenix for the Phoenix cannery at Steveston on the Fraser River, also belonging to the Bell-Irving interests. My father was skipper, hence my being able to get a job as deckhand and coal-passer at that young age. About the middle of May we were at the ��� Wallace Shipyard, then situated at the north end of the old Granville St. bridge. (Mr. Wallace later moved to North Vancouver and founded the Burrard Dry Dock). We had about 20 Columbia: River boats in our tow also, two small fish scows. The Columbia river boats. were roundJbottom- ed, about 26 feet long and fitted with a centreboard which was lowered when under sail arid taken up when being rowed. Oars or sail were the only power for small boats in those days. They were sloop-rigged with a boom and gaff, mainsail and a jib. They were fair sailers. They originated in the Columbia river, hence the name and were exr tensively used in the fishing business of B.C. in the early days. Two men usually comprised the crew, the fisherman who owned or - operated the boat for one of the canneries. The other man - was the boat puller and was paid by the fisherman. After leaving False Creek we proceeded via the Straits of Georgia, Discovery Passage, Seymour Narrows, Johnstone Straits, Broughton Straits, Queen Charlotte Straits and Goletas Channel. As V the boats had by ' this tinie ��� .considerable water in them,, fronor? leakage and from rain we went irito Bull Har- bor on Hope Island, situated in Goletas Channel to syphon them out; Bull 'Harbor at the present time is much frequented by fishermen. It has a radio station and .marine station. At the time of which I write it was, as far as I know, uninhabited. At least we saw no one. ��� '-....���'#���������* =~ On our way through Johnstone Straits about 10 miles, below Alert BBay we overtook' Walter^ Walacott.Vthe'.���policeman\"' station- '\" ed at Alert Bay as his father had been before him, and took him in tow to Alert Bay. After pumping the boats and scows we left next morning via Nahwitte bar which can be a very, wicked place under certain conditions. The day .we. left it was calm and somewhat foggy so we passed over the bar and proceeded out into Queen Charlotte Sound, heading for Cape Calvert, the entrance, to Fitz Hugh Sound, 36 miles from Nahwhitte bar, then into Llama passage, in which is situated Mc- Loughlin Bay. named after Dr. John McLoughlin of the Hudson Bay company; then on to the Indian village of Bella Bella, into Seaforth Channel and across Millbank Sound, into Finlayson Channel, Tolmie Channel, Graham Reach, Fraser Reach, where the fishing, villae;e of Butedale r is now situated; then on to McKay Reach, Wright Sound, Granville Channel, Arthur Passage; Malacca Passage between Gunn and Lawyer Islands, then into Inverness passage and Slough, one of the entrances to the Skeena River. Our destination was the North Pacific Cannery on the north side of Inverness Slough. Other canneries in the slough at that time was Inverness* and Cassiar. After delivering some of our tow at North Pacific we took the remainder up the river to the B.A. Cannery arid Port Essington which also belonged to the Bell- THE COAST NEWS 18 MRS AGO APRIL 15 The Coast News reported .that Gibsons now has a full-time barber. It was Stanley Hermins- tan. Previous to this date a local merchant had carried on bartering on the Iside. Herbert Gargrave, member for this constituency in the provincial legislature advocated a campaign for the exercise of moderation in the consumption of hard liquor. Margaret Allen iri an article in the Coast News referred to the passing of the old Red School- house in West Sechelt which had been reduced to kindling wood. Jim Rennie, Granthams cor respondent reported Granthams now had a fire engine with 2,- 000 feet of hose but he adds \"we now need a fire brigade. Irvings. Port Essington at that time was. the metropolis of that part of the country. Prince Rupert did riot exist as such. -Port Essington had three can-' neries,- the hotel owned by Mr. ��� Cunningham, three churches and a general store also owned by Mr. Cunningham. It was a very busy place especially during the fishing season.' It was also the transhipping point for passengers and freight brought in by coastal steamers to be taken from there to Hazelton by stern-wheelers. There were two on the river, the Mount Royal of the Hudson Bay company, and the Hazelton belonging to Mr. Cunningham. Competition between them was very keen. The Skeena between Essington and Hazelton was- a hazardous piece of navigation. The Phoenix was primarily based at - North/ Pacific which was run by a foreman with Mr.. Lord the B.A; Cannery managing both canneries. Aboard- the Phoenix was the skipper, chief engineer, second engineer a -Russian called Mike; the mate Jack Turner an old sailship man, a Chinese cook and myself, deckhand and coal, passer. The Russian I remember too well. He had a lower bunk and I the .upper in the same room and his snoring was terrible. , '.-> Mr; Weeks was .the cannery watchman and he had two sons, one, Paul, about'\".: my own age with< whorii. I;;was quite friendly. I have come across v; several articles which he has written pertaining to fishing. I have not ��� seen him since .those days. ���Our , first job after arriving was to establish .camps. at .Law-; yer and Rachaei; Islands , to which the i fishermen ' brought their fish. We collected them in scows , and towed; them to the canneries. We \\ towed them \"out again Sunday everiingis. We also made several side trips, one to Tuck's; Inlet which , is now Prince Rupert Harbor to get .'��� piles for the cannery wharf and on to Ketchikan, Alaska, with friends of Mr. Bell-Irving. One of them lost a valuable pair of binoculars overboard and wanted the skipper to go back and find them. They were then fathoms deep in water. On July 4 an American passenger ship, brought a load of Americans from Ketchikan to Essington, resulting in a bangup celebration which of course we took in. Our last job at the end of the season was to bring the camp scows in, after, which we, left for the Fraser River. Two fishermen came with us working their way by passing coal and assisting where they could which pleased me very much. On arrival at the Phoenix cannery on the Fraser at Steveston we were employed in bringing fish from the traps at Point Roberts and towing the boats in and out at the weekend. . At.the end of the sockeye season we took a couple of the , seine boats, large flat-bottomed square sterned boats ' with no power of their own, to Bayne Sound to try for dog salmon on a more or less experimental basis which was not successful. After this the Phoenix wac laid up for the winter: I was back on her again in 1904 doing much the same -work. CHIROPRACTIC OFFICE MON., THURS., SAT. 1678 Marine Drive ��� Gibsons Phone S8G 9843 N.

Most physicians prescribe . them. When you get them from your pharmacy they are pure and potent. But as soon as you take out and use the dropper, it is exposed to : virulent germs which may enter the bott(e, multiply and cause a severe infection. Removal of the protective cap of the spray bottles permits ; these germs to collect at the top to infect you. ' To avoid this,, cleanse the dropper and top of the bottle with alcohol before replacing it. Examine partly used nose drops and if the contents become cloudy, or a sediment develops, don't use them. It may be dangerous.

After talking to the manager about the many new things he had to buy for his new home Bill was asked a few quick questions about his job, income and how much money he needed. In 45 minutes Bill Mcintosh knew he would have the money he needed to pay all his home bills. This is an average example of speedy Scotiabank service.

This leads into speculation that something of major significance is to happen as regards highways from Langdale to Earl's Cove. Starting at the Langdale end, it; is .expected, that before too long 'something 'will be done \"about starting the cutoff to take ferry traffic around Gibsons instead of through the village. Indications are too that the bridge at Granthams will be straightened out and probably strengthened. . It is also reported that the highways department has obtained the necessary land not too far from the Peninsula Hotel where the cut-off road will join the Sunshine Coast Highway. There are also points along the highway which.will have to be attended to, .particularly in the lake area between Sechelt and Halfmoon Bay.

Then the road to Egmont, badly in need of. work on it, will be attended to this summer. Late last fall there was a considerable stock-piling of reads material in the Pender Harbor area. With the report that a resident engineer will be established in the area and the definite increase in road traffic with the opening tip of a circular route from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale to.Jervis Inlet to Powell River to Comox area with highway traffic to Naniamo then back, to Horseshoe Bay, it would, appear that highways on that route will have to receive some attention. Plebiscite lots in news again \" The area which was the subject of a December plebiscite in Sechelt to be established as a Porpoise Bay park came before Sechelt's council last Wednesday night in the form of an application for subdividing it. After checking over the proposed subdivision council returned it to the real estate operators suggesting that there be provision for a' 20 foot lane and a 66 foot road to the water from the road fronting the land involved. This was the area which iri the proposal was- turned down in a two to one vote' against, by ratepayers. BIRD ENEMIES On windy days, .many casualties are} suffered by small birds blown against telephone and power wire's or dashed to death against plate glass windows as they zero in on inviting havens of light and warmth. In addition to these agents of destruction, the small birds' natural enemies are always active. Crows and magpies feed upon the eggs and nestlings, as do snakes, while Cooper's hawks and sharp-shinned hawks are also deadly enemies. Rats, squirrels, chipmunks, white footed mice and larger animals, such as the skunk and coyote are equally predatory when it comes to birds eggs.

Ask the librarian to put them on the list of new books. During the summer you'll be spending a lot of time at the beach, and bringing home shells and some of those fascinating rocks, red or green or sparkling with crystals. In the Library are several books which will help you to find out more about these rocks and how they come to be piled up or scattered along our beaches. Among the Rooks by Terry Shannon would be good to start with, it is simply written, has many clear pictures and not too much print. Tells you about hard and soft rocks and how to test them, what you need to take on a field trip.' The most usual igneous, sedimentary and metamor- ��*?.<. rocks are described, and the commonest crystals found in our granites, feldspar, quartz, mica and hornblende, y y There is advice on labelling and displaying youry collection.

That evening a crowd of approximately 200 people finished off this gala affair by dancing away the evening. Financially the Mardi Gras was also successful. An approximate profit of $388 was realized with close to $730 taken in altogether the latter' figure including^the raffle, Friday's basketball game and sock-hop and the Mardi Gras ���. itself.

Approval of two ARDA - projects to rehabilitate irrigation systems in British Columbia has been announced by federal Forestry Minister Maurice Sauve and B.C. Agriculture Minister Frank .Richter. Cost of the two projects is estimated at slightly more than $3,000,000, of which the federal government will contribute $1.- 099,334. Balance of the cost will be shared by the provincial government and municipal administrations concerned. One project, known as the Pen- ticton City Irrigation System Rehabilitation, will replace works that-bave operated for 50 years, depending on gravity feed for water supply. When rehabilitated, this system will provide 2,200 acre-feet of water irrigating 1,873 acres of agricultural land, and supply domestic water to 100 farm homes. The second project ��� the South Okanagan Lands Irrigation District ��� will rehabilitate, over a six-year period, an irrigation system initiated in 1920 by the provincial government under the Soldiers Land Act. Primary purpose of the project is to maintain and increase agricultural production in the area served.

BINGO Know Canada Which Maritimes port was a haven for privateers? In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when privateering flourished and 0 was considered thoroughly respectable, Liverpool, N.S., was a haven for these doughty sea dogs; The history of Liverpool goes back to the earliest days. Known to the Indians as Ogumkiqueok, the site was christened Port Rossignol by Sieur de Monts, in 1603. When settlers from New England arrived in 1759 - 60, the community was given its present name in honor of the English metropolis.

Surely you will agree that outnumber of 100 will have shrunk substantially by the time all the visitors are taken care of and, quite frankly, we know right now that we are bound to have some hard feelings right here in Powell River because there will be many who feel they are entitled to attend but plans simply won't permit it. I would suggest that the number of 20 people for.the Sechelt Peninsula will be the greatest number per capita of any of the areas represented. In case you wonder * why the number of hosts oh the mainland is set at 100, it is strictly a case of economics. When the committee met in Courtenay, it was agreed that a budget of $1,- 200 maximum be set up for the affair. If we are to exceed this, then each area is simply going :.to : have to be assessed more than present plans call for. The article in the Coast News leaves the impression that much of the planning is being done by Powell River. It should be pointed out that the entire contents of bur March 18 letter were nothing more or less than a report of the committee meeting held in Courtenay. We were present but so were 'all the; other areas involved and the Sechelt Peninsula yhad been invited to send a representative.

C DOUGLAS VARIETY & PAiT GIBSONS, B.C. Phone 886-2615 ^Further to this, our report was given and discussed in full detail at the Sunshine Coast Tourist association meeting of March 14. As pointed out, those present were in complete agreement with the outline. The SCTA executive asked if we would make direct contact with you, Mrs. Johnson of Sechelt and the Pender Harbour Chamber. of Commerce. It was upon .this direction, therefore,, that our letter of March 18th; was written.. We sincerely hone that after you have digested the contents of this letter you\" will be more sympathetic to our request. The $150 we have asked you for is based on population, and is less per capita ��� than\" either Powell River or Courtenay. Like all other things we would like to make it available to more people and at a lesser cost and keep everybody happy but this is not always possible. We are trying to keep in mind that what is most important is to put the greatest advantage, some of us on the mainland side are going to have to forfeit our own pleasures. Our whole chamber executive, for instance, would like to attend and bring their wives but this simply canr not be. I, would guess that we will have to settle for only five Chamber members and they will be stag and all will have their work cut out for them. Since the results of your meeting were published on the front page of the Coast News and since Powell River's name is tied in directly with the article that described the affair as a shabby deal, we feel we have no choice other than to send copies of this letter to the Coast News, the Sechelt Council and Len Larsen of the SCTA. We hope that upon reflection you will view the matter in a different perspective and decide to participate in the spirit of ���\" good will that is traditional of Gibsons and the Sechelt Peninsula.���-Yours truly, Powell River Chamber of Commerce, R. Jolin Flower talk Gibsons Hospital Auxiliary at ���its monthly meeting on April 8 in the Health Centre, enjoyed a scrumptious dessert party pre- pared^yythe executive. After the meeting,\" Mrs. W. Lissiman held everyone's attention with an, in- , formative talk on flower arranging. Members were impressed with the way Mrs. Lissiman artfully grouped fresh flowers into beautiful arrangements. Mrs. E.Wiebe reported approximately $115 was realized from the Spring Fashion Show. Candy sales netted $44.
