R. Hanna informed the school board at its initial 1974 board meeting. , r He added that in these respects 1973 will be long remembered in this School'district. In 1974 problems and decisions of equal magnitude will have to be made including the appointment of the replacement for Trustee William Nimmo -who resigned, with possibly, he queried, a second woman to grace the board? Other problems are the one school vs. the two school problem, special education, the music program, outdoor and science education an effective in- service training program and the setting up of priorities on a full ^school year basis. He pointed out that powers, duties and responsibilities of board officials are all laid down in the Public Schools Act the roadway. Ray Boothroyd, manager, estimates the damage at $250. At Chess Enterprizes not far from\" the theatre, a group hurled rocks and chunks of paving material at the cars parked on his lot, damaging the roof of one and denting the bodies of several others. Frank Havies of Chess Enter-, prises reports this to be the second occurence within a month. * On a previous occasion, the roof of a convertible was slashed beyond repair and windows removed from a camper.

The first application for this grant last spring could not be approved until a definate piece of land was decided upon by the Village. The next announcement for grants occurs the first of April. The finance committee of the club is also corresponding with Ottawa in the hope that some federal money may also be available. If the Winter Clubs application for the government grant is successful and arrange ments with the village are complete, land clearing will take place about April 1.

Beautiful B.C. delay explained A statement has been issued by the publisher of the Beautiful B.C. magazine as the result of complaints about nondelivery of the magazine' on time. Here is their statement: During the past year we have been converting our mailing system from semi-manual type to a computer program. Unfortunately we have run into more difficulties than expected and the result has been a delay in the mailing of many Beautiful British Columbia magazine subscriptions. We sincerely appreciate the fact that many customers ordered the magazine early in good faith but we did not anticipate the major problems which arise when minor incorrect input to the computer disrupts the smooth flow of subscriptions. We have put a special crew to work to earnrft ly resolve the problems which resulted in delays in the processing of subscriptions received in the fall of 1973 and it is anticipated that most-of these trouble areas will be rectified in the very immediate future. I would also like~ to mention that, even with these delays, we have processed and mailed approximately 180,000 subscriptions. It is realized with regret that many people have been disappointed due to our dif-Y. ficulties in processing their orders oh time; however, I do- wish to assure you that, although we are not fully pleased with our results, it is not contemplated that similar delays will arise in 1974 and we trust that you will have confidence in our circulation procedures. We would also like to express our sincere apologies to your many customers EMERGENCY BRANCH Provincial Secretary Hon.

An unpalatable inheritance Premier Barrett could be right in blaming the former Social Credit government for the present land assess- A ment situation. His words are: \"This is a Social Credit mess that we have inherited.\" \"To support Mr. Barrett's contention a Coast News editorial printed in the March 3, 1971 issue is reproduced in its entirety: ;. V '������ ,7 ' \"In its December News Letter the Union of British Columbia Municipalities placed the strongest possible emphasis on the injurious effect it would have on mu- nici^alitiesi if the government goes ahead with its plan to limit to ten percent per year, the rate assessed values on individual properties'can be increased for school purposes. \"This is now a bill before the legislature, Bill No. 22, an Act to Amend the Assessment Equalization Act, which if passed will put a ten percent limit on assessment increases. \"The original intent of the Equalization Act, the Municipal Union letter states, was to provide an equitable basis on which all classifications of property throughout the province are taxed for school costs. This -ideal has never been reached, although progress was slowly made until 1966 when a five percent artificial limit was imposed. After strong; urging by UBCM which brought the inequities of artificial^limitations to the government's at- teiition,,the limit was lifted from individual properties in 1968 and placed on area total assessed values. '���\"-.: I ���/-���*�����-././':��������������� :���������:'��������������� ���''���.���'���. YY'\\' ', v \"'This meant that the five percent was added to the grand total of assessments .instead of x>n individual properties, which resulted last year in a reduction in some and in others an increase. \"Now we have the B.C. Branch of the Canadian Bar /Association offering its. opposition by presenting to the premier and attorney-general a resolution which maintains passage of the'bill will cause assessments to lose any relationship to the value of \"real property and that inequalities which will be created are repugnant to the general intention of the Assessment Equalization Act. \"The UBCM has maintained that this type of artificial limitation has its greatest detrimental effect and produces most glaring inequalities where land has been rezoned to higher use, where farmlands have been subdivided, where shifts in business activity result in higher market values and where it is desirable to achieve equity between new and older construction. As a mill rate cannot be varied resulting in what obviously are unequal assessments it means a majority of owners are forced by statutory limitation to subsidize land speculators. \"The result as outlined above would mean that assessments will have little to do with the valuation of property and instead become a political gimmick which can be used at will and where the most advantageous political service can be done. ' , \"At various times during the last few months there have been outcries pf forcing homeowners tp subsidize land speculators. Last year's president of the UBCM, Mayor Anderson, termed the proposed 10 percent limitation meaningless to almost everyone except land speculators unless it is accompanied by a limit on tax rates. \"An example would be in the case of property purchased and then rezoned to produce higher revenue. The speculator would be protected by a ten percent ceiling on assessment rates but the property would have been sold for a far greater price than the assessment will show. ^'There are examples on the Sunshine Coast where a property has been sold for a high price while under the assessment' ceiling thus placing surrounding properties in a very inequitable taxation situation. Municipal and even assessment officials are not happy with the five or ten percent ceiling or any ceiling for that matter. They prefer taking the natural course to let values set the pace. However the bill, is before .the house and what will happen to it remains to be seen. Municipal officials and members o_Tthe Bar Assocation are united in their approach to this bill. The Bennett government rarely bends to pressures.\" A club is being organized by men of Gibsons United Church It will be an ATOS club which will meet regularly or as required. ��� , 'The organization started working on the club idea a couple of months ago arid' will hold its first meeting Monday, Jan. 28 in the United Church hall at a supper meeting. Men interested in the development of service to their community and church are invited to meet with other men to work out a program. , AOTS is a men's service club within the United Church and this year the club is celebrating its 50th year. Reporting on the (beginnings of ATOS Alec Gilmour of Selma Park says it started in 1923 at what is now Ryerson church in Vancouver wihen Dr. H. Riggs, a prominent Vancouver surgeon, an active layman at. Kerrisdale Methodist church, now Ryerson church, sought a means of harnessing the talents of men. The women were already active in the Women's Association and Missionary Society. He felt men should also have, an organization for fellowship and Christian service. As Dr. Riggs was a member ���of the Kiwanis, /he felt the organizaion could be pattern- , ed' after the Kiwanis. In casting about for a name he recalled the saying of Jesus 'I ani amongst you as one that. serves,' 5 to 25 yrs. ago .

SHARE YOUR GOOD HEALTH BE A BLOOD DONOR A meeting wasf called. A good turnout of men decided to form a club and accepted! Dr. Riggs AOTS (As One That Serves) as the\" name of ���the organization. Now AOTS , clubs are part of the Methodist and Prebyterian churches. For many years said Mr. Gilmour the club was not officially connected with the church but through the efforts and financial backing of men in the clubs, particularly men like Jack Robinson, Charlie Atkinson who later became national -president, Roy Johnson and others, a national secretary was appointed arid- given the task of extending the movement. D.R. Poole was, appointed secretary. He left a good job to do this work at\" a lower salary.' He inspired his contacts and during his travels to various churches across Canada helped in the formation of clubs and their number increased .greatly resulting in the fcfmation of district councils. These cov- erd areas like Vancouver, New Westminster and Vancouver Island and rural areas. Some district clubs laid down programs of joint service ventures and for many years one, Vancouver club on Saturday night's during winter months put on a' concert or picture show at First United Church for drifters and! pensioners who desired to attend. Area clubs took turns acting as guides and provided transportation for the Discus club, a blind men's service club. Every Thursday night a club would visit the old men in the Vancouver General Hospital annex. Other projects were included. Each club carried out pro- iects withiri their church and \\ held monthly meetings to hear speakers, choirs and other entertainment. , For. some years ATOS assisted the Boys Parliament and bne of the high lights was an ATOS district council banquet for members of this parliament. Various clubs also sponsored a boy as a Boys Parliament member. Through the council on Laymen's Sunday, the second Sun- . day in October, lay. .services were held in- many churches with ATOS mernbers condlict- ing the 'service. Services were also held* at other churches and United^ Church institutions .There are now 300 clubs in the movehient in nearly every province in Canada with sev eral . affiliated clubs in Bermuda. There are also 14 clubs, within the Trinidad Presbyterian church, Mr. Gilmour reported. - . Local club members strive to operate on a service basis rather than fund, raising on a big scale. They have'painted inside and' outside the home of an aged widow,''picked up crippled and elderly people and organized ear pools to convey people to church. One club has regular study sessions to which men and women attend along with their neighbors. Some clubs undertake work sessions around the church and grounds. A THANK YOU!

Letters to Editor Editor: I'm a mother with a school age child and I've just been treated with the most obscene language by a neighbor, a local school teacher. He used filthy language to myself and an old age pensioner over the blockage of a ditch in the South Fletcher lane, which the municipality had already cleared out once, on his account, as the rain caused the ditch to flood the pensioner's property. If this is the. example of the English language which children learn in school, I would suggest it's about time the calibre of our teachers was looked into. ���-Mrs. L.

The CBC is clearly modelling itself on American practices, programming whatever adver- ' tisers will buy.

The food Sausage was probably one of the world's first convenience foods and by no meaiis a 20th century innovation. Born of necessity centuries ago as a means of preserving meats, sausage was\" chopped or ground meat, seasoned, stuffed into a suitable package or casing and cooked, smoked or, Sausages are usually classified according to their method of processing. The main types are fresh, cooked, smoked - both cooked and uncooked, dry or semi-dry, and cooked meat specialties. Fresh sausage is made from selected cuts of fresh meat and must be cooked thoroughly before serving. The most common variety is fresh pork but pork and beef or all beef are also available. Cooked sausage is ready-to- eat and' includes sucli products as blood sausage and liver- wurst. It may or may not be smoked after cooking. Smoking imparts a different color and flavor. Uncooked, smoked sausage is smoked only for a short time and it must be cooked before serving. A familiar example is, country-style pork sausage. Cooked, smoked sausage, which has been smoked then cooked, is ready-to-serve as purchased. Examples of this type are weiners and bologna. Dry or semi-d!ry sausage is made from selected meat with a high salt and spice content. Some of the common ones' are salami, summer sausage, and pepperoni. Cooked meat specialties, or more commonly cold cuts, are prepared meat products Which are cooked or baked and ready to serve. Head cheese, tongue loaf and macaroni and cheese loaf are a few of the varieties Recently, amendments were made to .the Food and Drug regulations. which permit the addition of such ingredients* as pickles, olives, cheese and fruit to sausage and sausage meat as well as other meat products. According to these amendments any of the ingredients .added must be in separate identifiable pieces in a sufficent enough quantity that they can be differentiated, from the sausage or sausage meat. Also the label of sau sage products must carry a complete list of ingredients in descending order of proportion or percentage, composition. Sausage or sausage products may contain lip to* 4 percent binder or filler and up to 60 percent moisture if a filler is used. If no filler is used the moisture content may not exceed 75 percent. In comparison, uncooked, lean, round of* beef contains about 66 percent moisture. Regulations have been, proposed to set a minimum quantity and quality for protein. /^2 VijUCIO VOLVO CARS & STATION WAGONS International Tracks & 'Recreational Vehicles. PHONE: 278-6291 E. E.
