It is hoped next year to allow the usual thirty daysfor payment of rates," Season they had to be paid in advance this time was - that the board had to pay the first, year in advance. Several property * owners have yet to payjheir taxes and Mr. Thorald pointed out' that unlike tbe Municipal Act, in thii' case should the property have to go up for sale, said sale is final Asked if there is any cost increase for new connections, the chairman said the original charge was $70; this has now been increased to $140. Connections arc much cheaper to carry out on the south side of the road but the board cannot discriminate by charging more for one side than another. An average price has therefore been settled upon. "Everyone up there had the opportunity to take connections originally but some turned it down," be pointed out. Seven nominations for trustees were accepted by three members only, who were therefore appointed by acclamation. They were: John Kelly, Cliff Thorald and Art Redman.

The insurance covers any building and equipment in the Sechelt School District and would result in a saving of 26 per cent in premiums, Eiphinstone Secondary School is the largest single item and estimated in the region of $1 million, including equipment. Should it be destroyed by fire, remaining buildings are automatically covered for a further $t million, so that in effect, a $2 million insurance policy is operating. ; CONSTRUCTION Planning committee chairman, Celia Fisher, reported on progress' of the build- *ing program \ sketch plans for Gibsons ' Elementary and Langdale expansions have been drawn up.

I" I I I THIS WEEK, Patty Gust, daughter of Mr. Mrs. Carl Gust of Pratt Road, Gibsons, sets out for Ontario, one of eleven B.C. girls chosen to attend the Ontario Heritage Guide Camp at Doe Lake, Spruce- dale. v. There will be 90 girls, at the camp re- 'presenting^t6n^prw��ric*srlthe^North West' Territories" and the Eastern Arctic. The Doe Lake campsite is an extensive area of woods and lakes in the Georgian Bay district and thc guides will be divided into 3 campsites with 30 girls at each. Patty will be at the Lakeview campsite and their theme will be centred around the B.C. Indian cultures. Patty wilt be a member of thc Bella Coolas and other patrols will represent the Kwatiutl, Salish, Haidas and Nootkas, so she has been doing plenty of pre-camp research. The Indian theme will lend itself naturally to canoeing and handicrafts will include making moccasins. Following thc two week camp the girls will be billeted in thc Toronto area with local Guides, they will spend a day al the Canadian National Exhibition and visit Niagara Falls and Centre Island. The Canadian Centennial Commission and thc Eiphinstone District, Girl Guide Association have contributed to Patty's travel expense, As a representative of this district she has received a letter of good wishes from Mr. Wes Hodgson, chairman of Gibsons Village Council. Patty has made dogwoods and driftwood pins to take to camp to exchange with other Guides as brisk barter of souvenirs Is ono of tho main unorganized activities at any Guide /camp,:'.'

COMMENDATION Pender Harbour Library, which is being built by the board's maintenance department, is almost complete and will be ready for occupancy in September, said Mrs. Fisher. Trustee Leo Johnson said he had heard many favorable comments from residents including the president of the chamber of commerce. He felt that the maintenance department should do more of this type of work. People feel that taxpayers are getting better value than by hiring contractors. Trustee Don Douglas commented that the maintenance department are working to capacity now and could not take on any more work. FEDERAL ASSISTANCE When Sechelt Residential School grade 8 students attend Elhpinstone Secondary School in the fall it will mean that there arc approximately 60 Indian students attending school in thc district and the possibility that the federal government will assist in school construction costs is being Investigated. Federal government already contributes toward tho operating costs of tho students. i School district supervisors are also being welcomed to the Indian schools, thofr services will provide a further source of revenue,' stated Mr. Peter Wilson. gGtyQNT TEACHERAGE pVAn offer has been received by tho board for the Egmont tcachorage and property equal lb.tho,appraised vahjo of $3,350, Mr, Wllsop Informed trustees, DISCUSSING the need to borrow, $60,000' PEDESTRIAN HAZARD ' "7 _*. from JtHe.

Although trustees approved the borrowing, trustee Don Douglas felt that it was unfair of the village to withhold taxes when the board was spending ^increasing amounts on education every "year. He thought that the village should do the borrowing and pay the interest, not the school board. Mr. Wilson stated that according to the Public Schools Act, taxes were payable in equal monthly instalments by the municipalities; thc board has the right to insist that taxes be paid. Mr. Douglas requested that the Village of Gibsons be asked ,the reason for the delay. pointing out the need for sidewalks on the highway, the commission stated r that it was the responsibility of the Department of Highways. ' v Trustee - Leo Johnson observed that Highway 101 required a 3 foot shoulder on each side and in many places there was nowhere near' this amount without falling in a ditch. It was strictly the Department of Highways responsibility to provide the required amount. > r In thc interest of children and ' adult pedestrian safety, Mr. Horvath felt that the responsibility was three-fold' and the village commission and school board should work together to see that sidewalks were provided at Reid's corner.

I do not pretend to be an expert, ("x" is an unknown. quantity and spurt is a drop of watervun^der pressure) oivthe tak- _ ing of salmon on sport tackle, but I hope I might be able to help a fow sportsmen who have never experienced the thrill of landing a __fighting coho "or a line-taking chinobk. " - ' . Basically salt water sport fishermen fall into two different and distinct groups, trollers and moochers. Let's take a quick look at the way to troll first. Naturally the first < thing you must have is equipment. With all the different lures, rods, reels, etc., now on the market, it .. is pretty hard for the "first time fisherman'; to choose the equipment. Contrary to what some of, you may think, very littlte equipment is actually needed to troll and be successful. The fellow you see with umpteen rods and a couple of tackle boxes crammed with assorted lures is either a fishing nut or has a friend in the business. A fairly stiff rod about six feet in length, a single action or a star drag reel, around 300 yards of 20 to 30 pound test monofilament, two to four ounces of lead, a flasher and a lure make up the basic tools required. The most common flasher, or dodger; as it is sometimes ealled- is * a number one, either Leur Jensen or Gibbs-Stewart. For lures, the angler has many to choose from, usually any small size spoon, i.e. number 4,will get jrou a coho. The Henry Smith lure has proved to be exceptional. Herring strip used with either a holder or number eigbt treble hooks is about the best you can use. The weight is secured to the,.'encL?bf the line, then ^bout three feet,, of leader, a few pound test lighter than" the" line used, the flasher, another five feet of leader, then your lure or strip. ' ::<A Your line is let out, around 70 to 100 * feet if the fish are feeding close to the surface, and you begin trolling, A slow walk is usually about the right speed. If you are using artificial power, not'arm- strong, to propell your -boat, try varying your speed from time to time. Another 'trick' used by most fishers of the deep is to either bring in or let out line on occasion. Once you have taken a salmon from the sea you will in all probability, become a master of the fine art of fishing and you will have your own "surefire" techniques. ��� Mooching requires even less equipment than trolling. It has been dubbed by some, especially the ardent troller, to be a lazy man's way of fishing. A long, light* action rod with plenty of whip such as a fly reel is ideal. A single action reel is preferred along with 400 to 500 yards of 12 lb. test extra limp monofilament line. For weight, anywhere from Vz ounce to two ounces of swivel type, strip-casting, lead. Leader material, as with trolUng, is a couple of pounds test lighter than the line. The weight is tied to the end of the line, .then about six feet of leader to which has been tied t. vo number eight treble hooks for coho," larger for chinooks if desired, about four to five inches apart. Live herring is preferred by most but strip or .whole dead herring can be used and at times preferred by chinooks. From, here on in is where mooching' differs from trolling. A spot is found, preferably where the fish are, around ' seventy feet of line is let out and youriei|her drift with the tide or anchor. I'm Jte.al lazy, I prefer to anchor. : ' $ The next step is simple, sit back, relax .and wait.-To some this is the most "difficult part as people being what they are tend to grow impatient, but if . you stick it out you will be rewarded with an ex-, citing, experience once old man salmon hits. There is no comparing the thrill one gets fighting and,landing a coho or large spring on light taclde. It is something to be relived again and again. It is a kin to landing a steelhcad on a fly rod; you haVe to experience it to really find the thrill. Now let's take a look at some of the reports that drifted my way over the past week. Up at Madeira Marina cphb and' sprjngs coming in by the "boatful," A. Hughes, Vancouver, 23 lb. clilnook from Quarry Bay; Norm Otsu, 32 lb,, Leo Bay; J.

Four young helpers conducted groups of visitors on a tour of the camp which ns situated right on the waterfront; swimming and handicraft lessons were underway under the supervision of counsellors, but as soon as wet swim suits were changed the girls were ready with a program of entertainment for the guests.

Such entertainment is a regular nightly feature at the camp and quite often local residents drop in to add their ability and delight the little girls. The .West Sechelt campsite was purchased in 1950 by the Gamma Phii Beta Sorority, an international association of women uuiversity students and graduates with affiliated chapters in Canadian and American universities. There are two such camps, the other being in Denver, Colorado, U.S.A., they are administered and financed by the sorority, being the central philanthropic projects, each group also supports a local project. Vancouver camp board members who organize the summer camp which lasts 61._ Weeks, are volunteer workers. Members on hand for the "Open House" were Mrs. Walter Robertson of Vancouver and Mrs. Dorothy Chutter of Langdale. Three groups of little girls from 8-12 years of age spend a happy, fun-filled holiday at the camp each year with everything provided, there are 32 girls in each group, divided according to age; these youngsters are from Vancouver and the lower mainland area, who for various rea- 'sonsr woHld be unable toehjoy a holiday and badly needed one. Besides the campers four young helpers who have previously spent their holi- . days at the camp are chosen to help with kitchen duties. A full time cook is employed for the summer.

R. Peterson, Minister of -Education.���~ ��� ���- ��� -��� ��� Previously a teacher from outside the Province could not be issued a certificate unless his credentials had been evaluated and approved by the Registrar of the Department of Education. Under new "regulations! the District Superintendent in the field may make a preliminary evaluation and, if he is satisfied, issue a certificate valid only in his own superintendency. During the year of its validity the Department will complete the normal evaluation of the teacher's credentials. ' , - * - Mr. Peterson said that the new procedures are designed to enable teachers from outside the Province who .want to teadi^ here to obtain an appointment with the minimum of delay. British Columbia had 16,130 full time teachers in the last school year of whom 26 per cent had experience in other Canadian provinces. Mr. Peterson said that by taking steps to facilitate entry of teachers trained elsewhere into the school system, here the benefits of diversified experience could be realized. At the present time British Columbia's teaching force is the best qualified in Canada with 45 per cent holding university degrees. h . * "A'.A^ n , i ��� i( 11 it ii '4 ��� ���.,������n L-V; ������*''���'���' i �����.

' LOCAL businessmen and one time village commissioner Bernel Gordon was last week accused, behind his back, of having a hand in the controversial new municipal hall. Assumption by his accuser was that Mr. Gordon is still a member of the^ village commission. As all who take an interest in village affairs are aware> Mr. Gordon declined to stand for council when his term of office expired last year, since which time his connection with municipal affairs has been completely severed. Point of this preamble being that the incident emphasizes the apathy with which so many residents display from time to time. There is nothing new in the situation, it goes on continually and is certainly not restricted to this district, it also applies locally, provincially and federally. Many people throughout the province have no conception of who represents them and what is being done. Yet significantly, these very same people, in most cases, belong to no worthwhile organization, contribute nothing- to society, but are the very first to raise voices to the wind and decry progress the moment known local rabble raisers put words in their mouths., *' *7t"is ever-fhtisr th^worldls hflrras- sed with people of this nature, we perhaps are fortunate in 1 thftt here they merely retard progress, while in some countries they cause internal strife and open conflict. Naturally, it would not be a healthy society if all agreed and we became a nation of "yes men." Lively debate is conducive to good leadership and sensible development. The rabble raisers who object to everything simply obstruct, they are a group best suited for hill billy areas where inhabitants enjoy no other interests than drinking, fued- ing and working only when emergency arises. A civilian society, unfortunately, requires a little more effort, both physically and mentally. Many of our young people are presently forced to leave their homes in order to obtain employment elsewhere, others walk the streets with hopes of finding work among those they know. This will continue if the obstructionists are to get their way. It is to the credit of society as a whole that the average person is aware of these tactics and although progress might to great extent, be hindered, common sense invariably prevails and we make headway regardless.

Born in Applegarth, Dumfriesshire, April 22, 1844, he had business training as a youth and was employed by a Liverpool merchant before coming to Victoria in 1862. His early jobs were varied, even included a spell "dockwalloping" as a stevedore. Then he moved into wholesale pro- ceries, insurance, shipping and- brokerage gaining power and prestige with -every year that passed. ��� < He was a shareholder in Enderby Milling Company, at Moodyville (sawmills), Canadian Pacific Navigation Company, Albion Iron Works and Capilano" Waterworks. He was a principal promoter of the British Pacific Railway and left a permanent mark on Victoria .when he undertook "and carried out construction of the, outer wharf.

Farming was a hobby and he maintained large farms at Victoria and Delta. He "was president of the California and Hawaiian* Sugar Refining Company headquartered at San Francisco,' as was the firm Welch and Company which Operated in British Columbia as Welch, Rithet and Company. The British Colonist in 1891 said the Rithet Company was one of the largest' commercial operations in British Columbia. When Rithet died at Victoria in 1919, it was said of him: "Probably no name is more respected on .the Pacific Coast from San Francisco to tiie far north, than that of Rithet . . . ".

RHEUMATIC FEVER' ] "the Canadian Medical Association reports 'there has been a steady decline in the over-all mortality1 rate from rheumatic fever and rheumatic incidence higher than it mightr otherwise be. ' * The severity of the disease has been. less pronounced, likely ' because of anti- - Miotic treatment. More important still, the' incidence of recurrence of rheumatic fever has teen otably reduced by 'antibiotic ther-^ apy. - The knowledge that rheumatic fever is related to <a certain type of infection commonly known as streptococcus, (strep), infection, and the use ot penicillin, have provided the doctor with an effective weapon against the disease and its recurrence. The use of penicillin in the treatment reduces the incidence of rheumatic fever , by eradicating the strep infection. Penicil- , lin is started as soon as a case of rheu-r matic fever is -discovered and is continued following-the acute attack; either by- monthly (injection, or daily by mouth, for; about 15 years. This helps prevent-recur-* rence of the streptococcal infection, and- rheumatic 'fever. Fifty per cent of patients with rheumatic fever- develop heart murmurs, usually' early in-the. disease, and .this, indicates heart damage. Patients with severe heart- involvement are'treated with steroids, or- sometimes aspirin is.used. Recurrence of rheumatic fever .increases' the probability of heart damage, thus the- proprhylactic. use of peniciUiri. after _a_n_at�� ": tack Jessens^the"* severity of "liSaffltemSge - by preventing a recurrence of the disease.*" DEAFNESS Modern hearing aids are effective in helping persons suffering several types of' deafness, the Canadian Medical Association reports. If deafness is due to some condition, in the outer or middle ear, which hinders sound waves reaching the inner ear, a hearing aid gives considerable help. This type of deafness ��� conductive deafness ��� also very often can be helped by medical or , surgical treatment. , When deafness is due to damage in the inner ear of the hearing nerve,' effectiveness of an aid depends ori the degree of deafness. An aid is no help in total or very severe deafness. ��� ' Also in inner ear deafness, besides hearing loss there are factors which, cause sound distortion, especially when.sound is amplified. A hearing aid cannot correct this, although some of the modern aids help to. reduce the distortion and some people with inner ear deafness obtain benefit under good listening conditions with no background noi��e. The C.M.A. stresses the importance of seeing your doctor if you think you are becoming deaf, If necessary, tiie .doctor will refer you to an otologist for further examination and advice.

PARADISE, 1920 VINTAGE An article in a Vancouver daily by Charles Defieux concerning the loss of the four masted W. D. Lawrence in 1923 brings back memories of another shipwreck which occured a year or so earlier. One that caused great excitement and fantastic dreams aboard a homeward bound Canadian government merchant niarine freighter, if only for a few hours. We were a little better than half way from Australia to the Fiji Islands, out of Newcastle N.S.W. with a cargo of coal for San Francisco during the U.S. coal strike in the early 1920's. Our ship was wallowing along in a heavy following sea built up by a strong westerly gale when our wifeless picked up an S.O.S. from the big five-masted barque La France. She had grounded on a reef off the southern tip of New California and was in. danger_ of breaking up in the heavy seas. We were then about 120 miles east of the La France's reported position, some 14 hours steaming time under ideal conditions but jcloser to 20 hours away in the prevailing bad weather. I well remember the occasion and the excitement that prevailed as our course was altered in the late afternoon in answer to the La France's distress call. We were soon heading directly into the gale and, being laden with a deadweight cargo, our fore well-deck was almost continuously awash as the bow dipped into the solid green seas. As darkness fell this necessitated the lookout being posted on the.'wea- -. ther side of the bridge instead 'of1 in his usual spot on the fo'c's'le head. ? It was then that the scuttleibut started down in the crew's quarters and each man coming off watch had something further to add to the already well stretched news. The La France was the largest sailing ship afloat, she had a cargo of great value, we were the closest ship, she would bring a fortune in salvage money so said the sea lawyers in our crowd. Sailors being a gullible lot, we were soon dividing the fifty per cent that our experts assured us would be the crew's share of the loot. As the night progressed and our imaginations took over", some of us were even spending our &arc. There were some wild, weird and fantastic plans made that night; plans' that,, had they ever matured, would have seen most of those involved suffer an early demise from overindulgence and riotous Jiving.- Present day L.S.D. kicks weren't in the same category. As the morning hours* arrived and daybreak drew near our share of the salvage monies grew with each "embellished report brought down frbm-the bridge. ,. i". Few,, if any, slept that night as "the ship - bulldozed, her way into heavy seas and galeforce winds lat about 5 or ,6 knbts. The deck officers and engineers were, no doubt, deeply concerned with the handling of the ship and in the attempted rescue mission. „ As for the rest of us, I am afraid that the' majority were thinking more of the anticipated, salvage money than we were of the men • aboard the La France. What had started out,as more or less of a joke had by this time assumed more serious proportions in the minds of some. Tbe smell of money does strange things to the thinking of otherwise normal beings. It still doe. .- Withv bur thoughts centered on spending the money we never had, we had not even given thought as to how the salvage job would be accomplished. Vagne ideas of putting a couple of hawsers" aboard the La France, pulling her off the reef, towing her to the nearest port and collecting the salvage were probably in the back of our minds. K sQ,;_theysVi^e)di^elled,sWrt-. ly after daybreak with word that the La France's crew had been picked up by another ship. We immediately put about and resumed our normal course for Suva, thus ending our dreams of untold wealth and returning us to the. life we really knew. Hungry.ships, -donkey's breakfasts to sleep on and 'four on and four off' watches tp stand —- all for the magnificient sum of $60.00 per month. So . ends this little 'rags to riches to rags' episode. Eor a few hours aided by fast talk and vivid imaginations, we had it- made. That was many, years ago and one learns that dreams seldom come true. Now, if I only had a winner in the Irish! We are all dreamers at heart. EGMONT EYEDROPS Lillian and Clair Tobias and their two children, from Long Beach, California, spent a week's vacation at the home of Lillian's sister, Mrs. Eileen (Bob) Griffith. Lillian, a daughter of Mrs. George Vaughan, is alsb^a "Sister" of Mrs* Katy " Phillips. With brothers Ben and Fred also residing here with their families, it was a real old home week for the Vaughans. Clair's parents, Hary and Ella Tobias from Donald, Oregon, and his brother Mac and wife Darlene from J^ng Beach, were also Eileen's guests' for:'"a"few dia^r ^b Gfif-r" fith, who came down from Bull Harbour to pick up son David, arrived too late for the family reunion. David will accompany his dad on Bob's west coast trailer New Dawn until school reopens in September. Another youngster making his first trip to the west coast trolling grounds is young Gregory Howitt who is crewing on the Garry Point V with his father, Jack dur: , ing the summer holidays. What better way for these lads to learn the fishing trade than by following the'eld man'? ^ . . No, the surfacing of the Egmont road is not yet an accomplished fact, as predicted in last week's column. Two reasons for the delay. First, the unexpected heavy rains during the v/eekend and secondly, and also unexpected, the fact that the Dunlop's station wagon got bogged down • (or up) on the; centre pile of piled crushed- rock. This necessitated a pull 'out" job by young -Dave Pollock'arid his grader, thus causing another delay. Our; prediction now is that IF the present • good weather continues, and IF-that damfool Dunlop stays out of the loose stuff, the joh should be finished before this goes to print. WHEN THE sleek 38' Chris < vessel Gisella - P set out from Vancouver she had no intention, of changing her crew at Halfmoon Bay, much less for.a salvage crew. At 8 a.m. on July 26 she struck an un- New crew Craft ing and Salvage tugs, Sechelt Chief (Captain. Len Higgs) and Sechelt Yarder, rushdiig to her aid.

With the aid-of a 35 h.p. outboard she was driven ashore where she finally submerged. Radio distress signals sent the Sechelt Tow- estimated the $38,000 cruiser suffered $15,000 damage.

The canoeS are replicas of the Voya- geur canoes which played such an important part in the early history of Canada. Twenty-five feet in length, double-pointed, arid "specially7^ and facing the difficulties of large lakes, the canoes are able to hold one ton of cargo as well as their crews. This year's race will be a trial for a 100 day race next year from Rocky Mountain House near the-B.C.-Alberta border to Montreal to celebrate the 1967 Centennial of Confederation. - Ten provincial teams will take part in this year's pageant which will.start on August 6 from Fort St. James on Stuart Lake to Prince George, down the Fraser River to Vancouver, and across the Strait of Georgia to Victoria arriving on August 15. .. ' ■ . ■ ' . ' " y;- It was the Fraser River with its whirlpools, rapids, and treacherous currents that provided, the - early western explorers with .such challenge and difficulty. Mucth of the river's course winds through country barely influenced by man since those. first voyages. '■£'""' A second brigade of canoes will make a run down another historic exploration route in the east, travelling from i_achi__e to New York via Lake Champlain and the Hudson River later in August,, 1966. The';Fraser race, will be conducted according to rules similar to those of a car- rally so that competitive spurts and stops can be made at communities for the teams' participation in local Centennial Celebrations. '' '""■"' "■'"" ' '" Like the old fur brigades, they will travel in flotillas, with all the canoes starting together and racing to assembly areas several miles outside major cities. There they will participate in sprint races for special prizes and then start together a- gain in a race to the next area. A point system will determine tho winner, combining times between each lap plus points for sprints. ' ''A "*"**■"■ '' **'"■''' At all stops along the route, special events and celebrations will greet thc canoes, and the canoemen themselves garbed In their authentic Voyagcur costumes, will participate In waterfront displays, For a project of this size, a great deal of organization la necessary ami it will be carried but under the direction of the Canadian Centennial Comml. slon in Ottawa, The B.C.

In major centres, campsites will be provided. ~, The-periocU and activities, represented;- in the Canoe Pageant were the most colorful and exciting in Canadian history and the canoes will bear the names of those explorers of 300 years ago: such names as Roberval, LaTour and Pourtrincourt from the Atlantic region; Champlain, Al- baner and LeMoyne from the Quebec area; LaSalle .Radisson and Brule from Ontario; Kelsey, Henday and LaVerendrye from the Prairielands; and Thompson, Fraser and MacKenzie, who explored British Columbia. * Scenes, animals grace scrap hook fROM Northern B.C. arid interior came "•'■* cards for the children's scrap book during the past week. ..,, The pool at Radium Hot Springs looked inviting enough to jump into and that's What Mr. arid Mrs. J.
