This is not a concert It is His talk, emphasizing the importance" of eye safety, was supported by a short film showing the removal of a metal splinter from the eye of an injured mill worker. He told his listeners that last year, eyejn. juries cost, $250,000 and that there was an increase in such injuries of 43 per cent above 1961. Although vulnerable, the eye is the nv��st"3easily protect* ed part of the body, be said. t. Stressing protective eye s&ielHs. &Ir. Watts-demonstrated the advantage of safejty lenses for glasses wlncii "arii' almost indestructible yet add no], _more': than a couple of dollars to the normal price of glasses. "A. recent survey reveals an increase in eye injuries in all walks 6. life," he concluded; Representing Local 297 of the International Brotherhood Pule, Sulphite laifii%Ptfefl��l_m Work ers, lit, ��� Andy Knowles commended, the great strides taken at the Port Mellon mill on he- half of safety which, he said, is in the best shape yet of the past seven years endeavor. Mr. Knowles also, expressed the opinion that the recent appointment of Mr. Norm Rudolp to safety representative was a big advance and was already proving beneficial. Chairman of the event. Mill ' Manager Ed Sherman, termina- , ted the event by thanking the safety committee for the good ���<���'. job- carried out during 1965, upon which, all concerned may look back with pride. "We hope to do even better during the coming year and will make a strong, sincere effort to reduce the accident rate," he said. , Referring to the small disputes occasionally arising between management and labor, Mr. Shermen said that in safety, both worked toward a common cause. We intend doing the .best possible job;and,wall enforce safety even if we have io take disciplinary measures, he added. In this respect there should be no chip on anyone's shoulder. a presentation of typical class- teaching so that the parents and others may know the objectives, values and procedures involved. Children from scattered communities will have an opportunity to meet and play with others. In this way it is hoped the first step may be taken towards more unity of purpose in music education and that is to learn to play an instrument and have fun in music! The choral music program is well established and it is hoped that a similar meeting for choirs as well as instrumentalists ���"������"may^'takc place later this spring. Parents often wonder about the Avicrd sounds made on instruments at home and per haps feel that no good can come from such squeaks and blasts. It may come as a pleasant surprise to hear tbe children in ensemble and find out that there might be a more pleasant and worthwhile purpose behind these endeavors. Furthermore, children need the support and encouragement of their parents as well as the approval of their friends. Let us' help motivate these children by coming out and supporting their efforts. The growth of choral and instrumental music in this province has been rapid and astonishing.

This Was dene by Ray Delong, the division's training coordinator. In addition to co-ordinating the departmental training and apprenticeship training, Mr. De- long acts as the apprentices' counsellor for on the job problems and interpretation of company policy governing apprentices.

" ~ Mr tion of Vancouver island's supreme court was not provided for in the terms of union. Judge Matthew Baillip Begbie of the British Columbia Supreme Court said the union destroyed the old colony of Vancouver Island and all its institutions. Governor Frederick Seymour advocated amalgamation of the courts^ '"&dir "as "'��"" Wmpro'ftiisf;'"'" gave each chief justice sole jurisdiction of his own part cf the new. united colony. The controversy was unsettled fcr three years: Then the legislature....ruled...that on the death or resignation of either Begbie or Needham, the survivor would have sole authority. This came about in 1870 when Needham resigned to become chief justice in Trinidad, and for hie services there he Was/ knighted. ' . He had come to.

Credit where due Editor, The News Sir���Re ^ the West Sechelt waterline^-otedit where credit is due���the workmen on that -project have made a very fine job of it. It has also given more space at that side of the highway _ |or_r.pedestrians^ to_ __edit walk. Before tHey had to climb used, a tree when a car was coming. It, is also a worthwhile venture' that was badly needed. Congratulations. I myself was, behind the door when grey matter was issued out. But who ever thought up or drew up the plans for the project was only issued tjiree fifths of four ninths of the grey matter I have. Why was not a two inch line taken across the highway at every road allowance to feed all houses on the other side? The way it stands a line is cut across the highway for every house. Eventually a new surface will be put on the highway, and,a new home will go up. Oh! Oh! another cut across . the highway. The final out-come will be a cut and a bump every fifty or sixty feet. At the rate of growth this will happen in less than ten years. I cannot give credit for that. W. FLAY and taste of an audience To assume that this is what is wanted.

Every voice helps but the fight to suppress lewd magazines, obscene pictures. and filthy jokes sometimes seems hopeless. As you say,, the average person deplores the prevalence of these conditions but feels helpless to do anything about them. * We vcanv raise our voices anyway, and I, for one, protest the use of dirty stories told under the guise of entertainment at some of our local functions. It is an insult to the intelligence RED CROSS IS ALWAYS THERE WITH YOUR HELP Moral support Editor, The Times Sir���Irhrough your paper, we wish to thank the many people who helped in the search for our two boys, Wayne and Brian. Also those who were ready to join in the search at the time the boys were found. There were so many people ~Aoo many to mention and thank personally. It is heartwarming to realize that so many people, even those we don't know, were willing to help. Wonderful neighbours and relatives also helped in the search ahtf giave us the moral support, we needed at that time. We're happy to say the boys haven't suffered at all from their Ordeal, in fact it probably bothered them less than it did us and all those close to us. Once again, may we say a sincere "Thank You".

Many who might have read the methods by which the defenceless creatures are slaughtered, probably discredited such stories as impossible, for after all, since the days of con- fleeritration camp bestiality, civilization has fobliterated brutality. This at least is the happy |^situation, we thought existed. Those who witnessed actual movie shots 1 j6f the atrocities tarried out behind the flimsy ffacade of modern culture, must surely have experienced acute shock to see great hulking brutes clubbing extremely attractive and friendly baby seals to death. Some of the more callous mercenaries actually ebmeqeed cutting open and skinning them while stijl alive. In the event of a race of savages forced to kill for food and clothing, there would be some excuse. Should the seals be a serious hazard to the welfare of genuine fishermen, then humane methods of extermination would be the answer. The present reasons and methods are inexcusable and provide ample grounds to justify claims that we are indeed a decadent society sinking to depths of degradation generally associated with barbaric Dark Ages. Since the whole sorry situation has been publicised and exposed, certain action has been taken and some charges laid. It is a foregone conclusion, the fines, if any, will be trivial and the carnage will undoubtedly continue. This is not a time for kid glove justice. The Western world has been shocked at these revelations which will not be quickly forgotten, and any repetition should be made impossible, there is no place in our desired way of life for depraved brutality. Drastic penalties are called for and should be instituted without delay. It is inconceivable that such morons should be permitted to carry on their nefarious occupation under the guise of making a living. Work is not so short that they have to become engaged in depravity of this nature as a means of making a living. Every man to his own trade, that is not a trade, it is an astrocious crime against all that civilization stands for.

Put Profits First WE were intrigued by the news note that the Imperial Tobacco Company, one of Canada's largest controllers of the manufacture and sale of the addictive weed, is not content with its present monopoly, but would like to go a step further- Imperial is going to reduce the number of wholesalers from 900 to 675 outlets, to allow more profits for the remainder. "Studies of the present distribution system," said the president, "clearly show that there are, in some areas, too many wholesalers involved in the distribution of our, goods in relation to the total volume of tobacco business available, :t6wpermit" such wholesalers to'coridticty an efficient and profitable operation." Now it would seem to us, as supporters of the principle of free enterprise, that the to- baccco wholesalers would be the first to discover this fact, and the first to do something about it. What they would do is of course to go simply out of the wholesale tobacco business when it became unprofitable. / : When we see a giant like Imperial doing this thinking for them, we suspect that Imperial is not interested in the wholesalers so much as it is interested in the possibility of increasing its own profits by .the simple expedient of increasing* wholesalers' profits, then raising prices to the wholesaler. > PedicatioM Deserves Respect REGARDLESS of whether one approves or . ^.^..^disapproyes ,the. proposed school district Referendum, there is little" dpuBt1 '^e:"'tnKtees'": themselves deserve a big E for effort, and are to be commended for the vast amount of time and work put into the project. In general principle, most of that involved in the Referendum is badly needed, such items as a new school board complex appears to.be subject to some doubt, but'this too, in actual fact Will definitely be needed in the not too distant future. Already growth of the school district'���.������has accelerated considerably.during the past two years and school board ffiaff ��� is experiencing many inconveniences". With the anticipated growth during the next few years, problems will undoubtedly increased" "" Taking into account the monthly rental which exceeds $200, plus maintenance, for what is now inadequate accommodation, construction of a new building could well prove an economic venture. i From an educational poiqt of, vjew, we, have to compete with areas such as the North Shore, where funds appear to flow freely and in large quantities. This puts a far greater burden upon a district such as this which is by no means a prosperous one. At the same time, the future of our youth should not-be jeop- arized due to inferior or insufficient facilities. As our elected representatives, the trustees shoulder a heavy load of responsibility for which there is no monetary gain. As with all people in public life, criticism is inevitable, some of it is possibly warranted, but again, we all make mistakes. Gn the overall picture, a great deal is accomplishbd,and each trustee in his or her own way is sincerely working toward a common goal ' During recent weeks, in order to acquaint the public with the fullest possible details pf the Referendum, the board has travelled the length of the Peninsula, attending meetings with various organizations, Committee meetings, special meetings and regular Board meetings have all taken a tremendous toll upon the important thing is to vote. During past years, extreme apathy has been prominent at Tlef&eiMurh polls with as low as 12% turning out to indicate their interest in an event of major importance. Three quarters of a million dollars is a lot of taxpayers money for the Peninsula, it certainly is not to be taken lightly. The trustees have done their part and the least they might expect is that the voting public has the courtesy to cast a vote. Whether it be Yes or No, let us at least show sufficient interest in community affairs to voice an opinion. Minute Messages "Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they do not understand; but . . . the passages thai bother me are those I do understand". '��� Mark Twain ON WHOM WE SERVE AN old saying is, if March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb. The Word of God states in 1 Peter 5:8, Satan is like' a roaring lion and Psalm 51 ;5 says "... I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." Romans 3:23,,, ". . . All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." John 8:44, "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do ..." These are heart searching statements, even though many \yill not want to acknowledge ihem. In contrast to this, John the Baptist said of Jesus, "Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the bin of the world, John 1:29". ��� We come into this world like a lion, that ��� is, only concerned about our own wants, yet through God's grace,.we can leave, having the love of God, \yhereby^we,��rc more concerned about tho welfare of others more than ourselves, "Isaiah 64:6 .says. . _ nil ourrighteousnesses are as fihhy rags,"' but 2 Corin- thinris'5:17 says; ", , , If any man be in Christ, ho is, a new creature; old things ore passed away; -. . ,,.,,.., . behold, all things are become new," Christ can even their free time, und when people are dedicated take a quick tempered person and give him n lamlj" to. this extent, they deserve the utmost con- like meekness, but it all depends on vvhom we wish stdcratton and support. <o serve. * ' Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, ^Rcv, Wf>'!. r S,/vckroyd, > how to vote on the Referendum is their right, PcndefHarbour Tabernacle th'tiiw'l;e I Is r-.l f V s'it J rr rflsf'��i��i(l by Iho UqUpr' Cpnlrol Opirrt or by i>>e Co.ornrnonl al Pnli��>i Columlri* ��� " .���r-l���v^Tt ��� - ��� ��� ^r presenting *Wl tSBSM mm mimmii mm BUBBLES; HOPS i nrol i v.

The rapidly expanding industrial and business development in the Powell Rivet area is resulting in an increasing number of fir eight-trucks, many of them of the tractor-trailer variety, making use of the ferry and also of the almost non-ex- istant parking and attendant facilities. At times, long lines of waiting traffic extend from the dock for a considerable distance up the highway and around a blind curve, all on a one-lane approach. It is only a matter of time until a serious accident with possible loss of life will be the result of this illegal, but at present unavoidable blockage of ,the highway. The heavier movement of freight must also bring premature grey hair to the ferry personnel, particularly when, is happens frequently, they have to load numerous large trucks and trailers on a vessel not designed to handle other than a very limited number of these carriers. On one night recently there were seven trucks, four large tractor-trailers the through bus to Powell River and eight or ten private automobiles waiting to board the last trip to Saltery Bay. Despite efficient service on the part of the ferry crew, and much juggling and no little cussing by the drivers, it took almost half an hour to load the vessel. This is not an isolated case by any means and conditions will worsen with the approaching tourist season and its accompanying boat and house-trailer traffic. A larger ferry that will accommodate large freight car- -" riers as well as passenger-cars should replace the 'Powell River Queen' and off-highway terminal facilities at Earl's Cove should be made available without necessary delay. Increasing traffic warrants it WHAT MAKES ISABEL RUN? Had a short between-ferries visit from Mrs. Isabel Dawson the other afternoon. A few minutes to spare, a friendly chat over a cup of coffee, then off again. Always on the go, that's Isabel. For a person who hasjio official standing in our provincial government other than her being a very prominent- and active member of the Social Credit League, Isabel has probably worked harder for the betterment of conditions in this r!3I3^ than almost any other private citizen in the district. Her narrow margin of defeat in the last provincial election did not in any way lessen her attempts to have needed improvements implemented. A bundle of energy, yyith a home , and family to attend to and an exacting and time, constim.ng job in private life, Isabel Dawson still finds time for service , and community work in her home district of Powell River and will lend her suppdrt to any worthwhile effort to imp- prove conditions in the entire : area. ' Where Isabel finds time for her many activities is a source of wonder, as is the effort she expends. Who aay3 women, are ' tho weaker se ,;?"

Say You Saw It In 'The Times' TEEN OF THE WEEK We have selected Allan Wal- laSeTfor "this week's "Teen of the Week". Allan has always been a very popular student and is very well liked by everyone. He is kept very busy��� he usually writes this column and I must say, he does a very good job! He is president of^th^ Annual Club and is trying to get everything under control so the annuals can be. published. He is also vice-president of the Dance Club -and is an outstanding member. Allan was captain of the basketball team this year and ended up being top scorer for the year. He is a very good basketball player. As one of his hobbies, he plays the guitar, he has an electric guitar and amplifier of his own and plays is very well. Allan is in grade 12 this year. As you can see he is a born leader. We all wish Allan the best of luck for the future and I know he will be a great success. Charity doesn't always be^ gin at home.

Has Indian culture changed to accommodate these concepts9 If so, to what degree and in what way? Within the feudally oriented white culture there was no concept of an uncompetitive, communal society, no appreciation of religion other than the Christian, no concept of meaningful work other than employment or commerce, no concept of security other than the material, no concept of freedom other than the politico-economic. Has white-culture broadened to accommodate concepts more inclusive than these? If so, in what way and to what degree? The unlegal Indian mind was apparently incapable of confronting cupidity with anything hut unbelief. Treaty after treaty was agreed to, solemnized and accepted as final, only to be, subsequently, broken and dishonored by whites. Why does the white practice of dishonoring treaties continue to this day? Since the dynamic and dominant white culture intruded upon Indian culture, the burden of responsibility in the areas of inclusive understanding and sensitive appreciation must rest principally upon white society. Yet the aggressive-dogmatic nature of white culture has been productive of humorous historical examples of monstrous arrogance and has resulted in policies dictated solely by egotistical blindness. Typical of this myopic tendan- cy was the policy of conversion; a policy which rested on an assumed, superiority and which proposed to change "pagans" into useful Christians and "savages'* into servile civilians Has white culture become less blind?

At last our defence budget is under control and an effective force is being forged out of Canada's old Army, Navy and Air Force. , Canada's experiment, for that is what it is, has attracted a great deal of attention abVoad. This is obvious from the frequent visits to Ottawa of delegations from the United States, Britain and France. Often they come to criticize. More often they go away to write learned articles on the advantages of Jm^mitWWIWfVWWWWWKVWWWMWVWMI No Cents In Waiting ��� . . Let The Times Classified Make You Money! [The Times Phone 885-9654 integration from both a technical and economic point of view. Canada, as is often the case, has been forced to take this step. We have no conscripts in our Armed Forces, only volunteers. Ottawa therefore has to pay more to get them and to keep them in uniform..Pay and allowances have therefore tend^ ed to get out of hand. Cut backs have laeen necessary in other places and this meant cutting back our outlay on transport and equipment. When the Pearson administration took over in 1963 it was faced with two alternatives. Either it could cut out buying new equipment altogether, or it could cut down on manpower and start equipping a mobile force worthy of the name. The then new Defence Minister Paul Hellyer chose the latter course. He began to streamline his organization. A lot of the brass had to go. Overlapping services had to be done away with. PAYS OFF In overall dollar terms this has paid off. Mr. Hellyer has held this line. Canada's total defence expenditure still rounds at around $1.6 billion a year. But, in the context of a growing economy this is not so bad. We now spend less than four per cent of our total national income on defence. The corresponding figure in the United Kingdom is seven per cent and in the United States 10 pet cent. A���booming���economyy���how-- ever, presents its own problems. Industry is bidding for skilled help. Men with trades now get tempting afifers. A qualified radar mechanic ge*s $6,000 a year if he is a married man and a sergeant. Private enterprise, however, is offering him between $8,000 and $10,000 a year for his talents. No wonder that 21,000 out of the 26.000 leaving Canada's Armed Forces over the last 18 months have been in the highly trained category. No wonder, also, that Mr. Hellyer is having to offer special $200 a year bonuses to keep key men in the forces a while longer. The opposition in Parliament has been pointing to what it calls the dreadful state of morale in Canada's Armed Forces. This may be true of the more highly paid ranks. But the great majority, faced with private industry and the defence department both bidding for their services are bound to be happy. Nearly two thirds of them voted for the Liberals in the last election. Apparently they are not afraid of integration. A more popular image is also helpful in boosting their sense of being useful to the nation. t _ r.

Our resources are not inexhaustible,' and British Columbia is one of the last resource outposts of North America. Since most of our land acreage is unproductive we must be careful to protect our river valleys. Only two percent of our land is arable. A plane trip over the interior of the province on a clear day proves this. We are fortunate that wc have a laboratory adjacent to our boundaries in which we can foretell the future. While observing our neighbor to the south, the United States of America, we can see the unfortunate misuse of resources. By observing, what has happened and is happening,1 we can in many casts forecast) the future with great accuracy in British Columbia. Since the pace of development is now accelerated, often the warning is short. There is no,,need.,to make certifiable mistakes In the management of land resource. In the handling of our resources we must remember unborn generations have a claim on the resources of British Columbia equal to our own. The one fundamental fault In this government', thinking Is its belief in the "B. yth of Superabundance." This myth still stfdks the halls of our Legislature, and it Is a myth which must bo abandoned.

March 16, 1966 report ���The Times' Ottawa Bureau "UNION workers in Quebec have been noticeably deaf v .to the siren calls of separatist agitators. The separa- ���^tjsisfliliemsreh^^ _ failure to appeal to the ordinary, working class French- canadian. ��� ���- �������'��� _ This <Joes._ not mean however, that Quebec trade unions don't want to have their own specially-adapted Organizations. In���.the field of labor, as in politics and culture, there is a turning Quebec desire to resist " domination by English- speaking majority groups, and to develop home-grown structures. - This is part of the background to the open conflict that has broken out between the Canadian Lab'or Congress and the Quebec-based Confederation of National Trade Unions. On the surface, it is an unequal contest. The CLC, with more than 1,200,000 members, is the central labor body for Canada. The CNTU has about 186,000 members, nearly all of them in Quebec, and fewer than the CLC has in Quebec. But the CNTU is aggressive, militant, ambitious, and is growing rapidly, partly because of its unabashed raids on membership of Quebec unions affiliated with the CLC. It has the CLC on the defensive, just as the Quebec Government has the federal government on the defensive. The parallel is fairly close. Even though the CLC President, Claude Jodoin, is a French- Canadian, his organization is accused of favoring federal or English interests at the expense of Quebec. ONLY VOICE? The CNTU, like the Quebec Government, pretends to be the only true voice ol Quebec. ��*sLate��ftin-'.February, in the same week, both labor organizations presented briefs to the federal government Some philosophical differences were immediately apparent in the presentations. The CLC, for example, was concerned about regionalism, decentralization, and favored a strong central government for Canada. The CNTU, on the other hand, emphasized decentralization, and was concerned about some aspects, of federal economic policy- which appeared. Jo infringe on ^ovincial rights. . Philosophical arguments may be - pursued calmly and peaceably. Real fighting doesn't -start until a specific issue appears, and it already has. The issue involves 600 CBC Stagehands in Quebec, who are nonrepresented by the International Alliance of Theatre and Stage Employees (IATSE), a CI>C alteliate: , The CNTU canvassed the membership and succeeded in winning a vote as bargaining agent The trouble began when application for certification was (made to the Federal Labor Relations Board. TURNED DOWN The board turned down the application, on the grounds that the CBC, and other national companies, should deal with employees uniformly across the country. -Th&re are four union members on the federal board- three appointed by the CLC, one by the CNTU. It was apparent to the CNTU that whenever it as a union organization was in conflict with tho CLC, it could not hope to get a favorable decision from the board. . The CNTU officers made this the chief point in thojr brief to the government. They threatened to boycott the Canada Labor Relations Board unless the board is made bilingual, and unless tho effective control, by the CLC was removed, The federal Labor Department asked time to consider these demands, and further meetings were to bo held. ���._..,., But4ho>'' CLC��WBs��.not*Bo��dlp- lomatlc; Following an executive meetinghere, President Jodoin fired off a statement that amounted to a'declaration of war on the CNTU, Ho accused tho Quebec organization of, making a deliberate attempt to disrupt labor ' legislation ,, and, collective ,, bargaining practices In Canada, And bis criticism went beyond labor matters, ' The CNTU, ho said, was also ' trytyg to 'undermine the whole structure'of Canada . . , with a'deliberate attempt to cut tho tics ittiqt bind people of varlouh provinces and racial back- ,, .grounds ..together ...as ;_ Cnna�� dlans." Jodoin also said that tho CLC represented more workers .in Quebec than did the CNTU. The CNTU policy would lead to wage differentials among regions. FROZEN WAGE Workers in Quebec, for example, would see their wages frozen and would be unable to overcome, the wage gap with Ontario and other provinces which now exists. He predicted "chaos." For example, a small group of employees in one locality could tie up a trans-continental railway system. "The Canadian Labor Congress will fight this with every ounce of energy we command," warned Jodoin. It may be assumed that the CNTU will fight equally hard. What does seem clear is that in the makeup of the federal labor relations board there is a built-in disadvantage to the CNTU. On the other hand, abandonment of the hard-won right to bargain on a nation-wide basis would surely bring hardship to workers in poorer provinces, including Quebec. This could be the biggest problem the Federal Labor Department has faced in many years. It has all the aspects of the wider problem in Canada��� Canadianism versus Quebec- ism, English versus French. Its resolution, certainly, will be no simpler than the resolution of the larger Canadian problem.

Gargrave (NDP-Mackenzie), during debate on Attorney-General Bonner's estimates, said the institute might be run in connection with the UBC law school. He said the government should provide something like $50,000 to assist the attorney general in research into law. He said with the tremendous expansion in the province there is a chronic shortage of lawyers, and research into law going on now in the U.S. might prove of value in B.C. Easter Seals MEET MISS Mildred Mpiiw, age 6.4 years of 759 Williams Road in Richttipnd, B.C.. recently selected as this yearns -^Taxxm^-^j^^c of Crippled Children ;for the Coming Easter Seals Appeal. Mildred was born with Spina-Bifida, a crippling disease of the spinal column. She wears braces, uses crutches, and is presently undergoing some therapy treatment. Her brother's name is Ronald. But what a^ change in the people! Old records in the provincial archives show that the population of the two Crown Colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia in 1866, by the most generous estimate, well inside the 65,000 mark. And today we're nudging two million. No census had been taken in 1866. But it was thought there were at most 7,000 whites on the island and 18,000 Indians. On the mainland, whites and Chinese. were said to number 10,000 maximum and the Indians 10,000. The number of white people took a drop every winter because many of them were gold miners who scooted south from the Cariboo and Fraser gold- fields, with,the coming of snow. The,two colonial governments in 1865 had total budgets smaller than most municipalities today. B.C. spent $676,810 and Vancouver Island $351,300. More than half the colonial revenues after the two colo nies merged in 1866, came from^ customs revenues. There were duties to be paid on most food items and many manufactured items brought into the colonies. Vendors of spirituous liquors paid excise taxes that contributed another huge block of the revenues of the day. A licence to operate cost ,$100 for six months in the townihd $30 in the country for a like period. Opium sales to the large Chinese population were legal and the government collected from this nefarious trade. A licence cost $50 for six months. A dance hall could be licenced for $200 a year while a banker paid $400. A miner's certificate cost $5 annually. ,.. Gold was still tiie, mainstay of the industrial wealth .o��- the land. In 1866 an estimate^$3.l5v to $5 million was dug from* the. earth. Coal however was of increasing importance, especially to the ships of the Royal Navy who for a year had made There were about ��� a dozen , sawmills gnawing tt the timber wealth-of the new united colony. Lumber from 3.C. was going to Australia, the Sandwich Islands '(Hawaii) China" and South America. There was no militia law in British Columbia but there were two volunteer rifle companies drilling, one at Victoria and one at New Westminster. Paper money was being issued as notes of the Bank of North America and the Bank of British Columbia. Silver and gold coins in circulation were either from England or the United States. But the English coins had to. be "translated" to the dollar scale. One of the most serious lacks cf the colony however lay in the field of education. On Vancouver Island there were only 404 children in common schools' and 419 in private schools. No reliable figures were available for the mainland���but it was certain the situation there was not as good. Notes from Pender ���by Lorill Kilborn REGULAR meeting of Pender Harbour Auxiliary to St. Mary's Hospital was held on March 9 at Madeira Park Clinic. In the absence of Mrs. J. Love, first vice- president Mrs. D. Philip presided. Final plans were made for the Spring Tea, which will be held on March 26 at the Community Hall in Madeira Park, at 2 p.m. There will be a sale of home-baking, aprons, plants, mystery parcels and greeting cards, a white elephant stall, door prize and raffles. Added attraction again this year, will be an exhibition of paintings, the work of students of Mrs. Stephanie Hooper's Art Class, which will be of interest to all. Mrs. T. Scales reported that the Auxiliary Cook Book is selling quite well, and anticipates- an increase in sales during tbe coming tourist season. Next meeting will be April 13, a 2 p.m. at Madeira Park Clinic. New members are welcome.
