WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 1966 IOC 8 <���mBLW ! i i recently, many people iound' their .'names )'i were omitted from the'Ust and it was too ' late to do anything about it. To clarify the j situation and possibly avoid future inci- " dents, Mr. Wilson offered to outline-proce dure to P-TA members. Each year the school board' prepares a list of electors which is posted in various locations in the school district on the 10th day 1 of September, Any person wishing to make an appeal with respect to the list should file an appeal in writing with the secertary-treasurer before September 20. Appeals are then dealt with at the Court of Revision held later in September. I. No ope ever comes to the Court of Revision, said Mr. Wilson so no changes have ever been made. t Following the sitting of the' Court of Revision, the list is certified as correct and .no changes can be made until the following year. It is important to check the list every "year, said 'Air. Wilson, because mistakes may easily occur when the lists are compiled. .'In rural areas, voters have no recourse .once the lists are certified correct. In vjl* lages it is" possible to vote" after signing an affidavit and obtaining a certificate of eh-' gibilty to vote from the village clerk. < SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION v*' MJc. Wilson warned P-TA members not to be disturbed because school construction was not proceeding immediately after the approval of Referendum No., 8. Various procedure was -necessary before building commences. Following a one-month waiting period, sketch-plans are sent to Vic: toria for approval followed by working drawings. Tenders are then called which still have to be accepted by Victoria. We are watched every step of the way, said Mr. Wilson. MEETING PROCEDURE Offering advice to Sechelt'"P-T&:i"and'" speaking as an outsider, Mr. Wilson suggested that minor business matters be settled by.the executive leaving the regular meeting for more interesting and educational matters. Commeh|ttnig.i_An.Jbe.).posiUpn^.of,^P;rTA'si. as fund-raising groups tor the purchase of school equipment, the secretary-treasurer observed that the board was the guardian of taxpayers and money and Often the most essential equipment was purchased for a school. Many worthwhile pieces of equipment have to be rejected and unless; other;/means of purchasing them are found it is many years before the board .. (wn,provide ;them. ���,���...���..;'_ ,,..�� ..., ;,.,���_,;'��� . |: a ; iRfltt^^ If meetings, usually a member of the puhlic I only attends when there is an axe to grind; I he commented. I CONVENTION [ Mrs. Nonnic Rathbonc and Mrs. Louise j t Campbell gave full and comprehensive re- T ports of their attendance at the 43rd Annual l Convention' of B.C. Parent-Teacher Fed- j eration and brought back much literature j"' for members to-peruse. They advised' the } association that although it was "much/more 5 pleasant/or two members to attend, when I It was election year and the convention j was held such a great distance away, it i was advisable to send one representative j only. DONATION j P-TA members approved a motion to j purchase equipment for the new booth at Hackett Park for the price of $400 plus t tax. This donation to ,the Village of Sechelt is the culmination of many years pf hard ( work jjnd effort on the part of a few dedicated members of tho P-TA and will help provide a very welcome service to;sportlng activities held at the park.

There appeared to be no sign of any maintenance taking place and as the swimming season was close, the parents of young swimmers were rather concerned. ... Comm. Norm MacKay explained that floats were indeed in bad condition; problem is, getting someone to repair them. "No-one appears to be interested,V he said. _... _ :.-.������,.:''.;'.. Comm. Sam Fladager suggested removal of floats, leaving an open beach for this season, but Comm. MacKay recommended anchoring of logs around tiie swim airland fo at low tide.

Successful test InigiiieCTS geport arrives recommends water proiecl .- > j ENGINEER'S report on the test well recently sunk as a means of supplementing Village of Gibsons water supply was received last week and indications are that sufficient water is available to warrant a substantial new development. Estimated cost of completing the test hole as a final well totals $7,800 and includes contingencies and engineering It was recommended that the same driller, Rural Well Drillers Ltd. complete the project in order to preserve continuity on the work. On top of this, a reservoir will be needed., together with pumping equipment in order to supply the main reservoir. This will then solve the problem of water shortage in the Gibsons area until such time a c Family reunion SEEING Canada for the firsts, tone' t$e visit Enjoying tiie pleasant cli- and enjoying the second > femaly matp of the Sunshine Coast are Mr. ��� ^_ .��� .���_, ���_���_,���_��� ���w_ __������. ���__... ���___^ ��� reunion in less than a,year after a John Sear and brother Ernest.

Proposed gift . . . Council rejects offer not in sewer business GENEROUS offer by the school board to turn over the school sewer line to the village, free of charge, was declined at last meeting of Gibsons Village coimciL This offer is the latest move to get out from under what could prove,an expensive responsibility, .resulting from notification by the Pollution Board that illicit connections should be removed' or the village take over the utility. Alternative, would be to extend the "sewer line further out in' order to eliminate pollution in the bay area. Although, not' official, it has been suggested that this would cost in the region of $60,000. Village administrator, Charles Gooding, told council he bad checked back oyer the correspondence relating to the sewer and it was obvious the connections referred to as illicit, had been approved -at the time of installation. "The school board, council and department of health had in fact approved, this at the time", he said. "It ts dovidus' froni ^1fie "engiiifeerS-^F^ft- they knew the connections- were to go on," he added. * Commissioner Jim Drummond moved; the school board be notified, council is not considering going into the sewage business at this time but when they, do, consideration will be given to.taking over the system. ���; , ' ;���,,;, /y J .'���.'./' WATER RATES Request that old age pensioners be put 911. 'a meter rate or some alternative means . fty, which elderly residents who use much .less water than younger families, pay accordingly, was also rejected by council. ''Apart from difficulty in adminstering /vairying price structures, it was agreed that Gibsons water rates, as pointed out by the PUC, are still quite reasonable. Further, charges were for a service, not necessarily water usage. Comm. Drummond drew -attention to the fact that West Sechelt residents were paying more than |6 monthly for water. "'" "Apart from the fact that the engineer had advised against meters, both Comms' Fladager and Feeney agreed there would still be a minimum $30 charge on a meter. Jt was moved the applicant be notified of the situation as with other requests in the past. - - - Rock bluff smacks car tow truck does better ROBERT Henry Cunningham of Halfmoon Bay appeared before Magistrate Charles Mittlesteadt last week to answer a charge of impaired driving following an incident in which he lost control of a tow truck which was towing a private car. The car, the property of John Dunlop, Egmont, had suffered front end damage when, driven by Mrs. Dunlop, it fishtailed on a gravel road and hit a rock bluff. Cunningham was called to tow the vehicle away, and while travelling along the highway, both tow truck and car went out of control, causing extensive damage to the Dunlop auto. Guilty as charged, Cunningham was fined $200 and $3 costs. Also appearing on a charge of impaired driving following a routine check by police, Earl Roy Whyte of West Sechelt was fined $250 and $4 costs. Consuming in a public place, namely his automobile, Clifford Johnson of Sechelt was fined $50 and costs. He too was apprehended during a routine check. For growing intormation attend Garden Club meet PREPARATION and growing of vegetables and flowers for competition is a fascinating hobby. With the Sunshine Coast Fall Fair in the offing it is hoped that many growers will take time to enjoy this experience. , ." Results obtained by thinning out Vegetables and disbudding flower stems are very worthwhile and the admiration which extra fine specimens evoke from, visitors is always very satisfying. Anyone wishing information regarding growing for exhibition should attend the Sechelt Garden Club meeting in St Hilda's Hall on the first Wednesday in each month at 8:00 p.m. Qoesmto aciion Course, include this system, Council is' presently preparing a proposal be placed with the department of municipal affairs, seeking approval of a borrowing bylaw in order to raise a $100,- 000 debenture loan, in order to proceed with the project Although water has never actually posed too great a problem within the, village, the situation has been such in the past two years, that sprinkling was restricted and the possibility extended whereby consideration was given to disallowing completely. The necessity was fortunately avoided but the danger of such action increase each year, , Clerk, Charles Gooding points out that findings of the Public Utilities Commission, following the recent public hearing involving Sunnycrest Motel, has not yet been announced, ishould they uphold re- = questsfdr *a- connection* to ithe. motdi*=?counr- cil will be forced to comply-, the result being that resultant shortage during summer months could prove both a fire hazard and a serious problem. Should council's stand be upheld, the problem will still exist in that it will be '���'''c'om'itefl^'"to^^ in the shortest time possible. ��� Mr. Gooding also makes clear the fact that the loan will not exactly come from the taypayers' pocket The utility will be self-liquidating, in other- words, revenue will be sufficient to pay its way.

For the evarage person, no matter what they earned in the past, what they're earning today isn't sufficient. Indeed the great complaint is, "We're barely breaking even." Desires for luxuries and extravagances seem to increase more rapidly than bur earnings. Our wants grow into needs. We are in danger of bedomhig so carried away by material prosperity that .what we call our "needs"��� will always grow to match our income unless we! take care. To indulge in a desire, even a petty one, we have to take the' price out of need and that is whete the hurt occurs. What we need is to take a balanced attitude toward our needs, desires and income and to so plan that we get the trt- most ih "real satisfaction. This isv'iio�� penny-pinching.

Speaking to the Toronto Association of Administrative Assistants or Private Secretaries, Commissioner Fisher said "no country in the world spends so much time in self examination and worry about its future. Maybe a good enthusiastic centennial will instill pride and enthusiasm in us." Recalling that many Canadians think they will only be spectators of the Centennial events in 1967, because "the government is doing it all," Mr. Fisher said that the government can only promote interest in the 1967 festivities by organizing some of them.

Boisterous, often devoid of Scruples and lacking allegiance to any flag, they had to be kept in check. The man who tamed them was Matthew Baillie Begbie, first judge in this wilderness and later first chief justice of tho prbvirice of British Columbia. A struggling, young London Barrister with a trim Van Dyke and luminous eyes, he had been a top student al Cambridge, an all-round athlete, and a singer of repute. But he was firm in the law and fierce in his application of it. His life, holding circuit court,, became colored with legends of the bully he flattened with one blow, of the plotters he quelled with a bucket of dirty water, of the floggings and hanging", he ordered. In truth, he had a horror o' taking a human life, contemporaries wrote. But he kept the peace by his very presence on his horse-back; circuit. He was less respected in calmer days for his handling of mining disputes and 600 miners once sought his removal. In1870 hdwev'or. He was made chief justice of the united colonies, first man ��o hold that office. Given a knighthood he died in office in 1894 at age 75.

Other organization^ also were active participants in the May Day celebrations and all working for meritous causes. While lack of organization might have been responsible for a few slip-ups, here and there, it is to be bourne in mind that, as with most community events, it is always the enthusiastic few who do all Without these volunteer workers, May the work and with few exceptions, year after year, those same faces are very conspicuous. On the other hand, most adverse comments come from people equally conspicuous, but because of their absence from community wtfrjj: or projects. ' It is because we have pyblic spirited citizens that so much is done to create interest and supply entertainment. The work involved is tremendous and when people give so much of their time and effort for no personal gain, they deserve the greatest of praise. > This year, without the Lions Club Day and many other such events would have dropped by the wayside long ago, which would have been a shame for too many age old institutions have already been dropped from community life and certainly to no particular benefit. Smaller districts lose a great deal this way for it is seldom anything worthwhile replaces them. Plans are already afoot to produce a May Day next year far superior to anything yet. However, it is to be remembered, an event of this sort brings business to the area in various ways and considerably more support is therefore re- and its musical rides, the May Day pro- quired, for while some of our merchants ceedings would have terminated early in have already been heard to condemn, the afternoon. As it was, the rides proved " .■-...... a tremendous attraction to the youngsters while game? of chance, also operated by the Lions, held the interest of the adults. The club members worked long hour into the night setting up the amuse- absence of floats from the larger stores was very rioticable. Let us not lose track of the fact we owe a great deal to a few and for their efforts they deserve the highest commendation. Lull Before The Storm CLOSE proximity to Vancouver marks the Peninsula as a happy hunting ground for fast talking disreputable salesmen representing even less reputable companies, and although little has been heard recently of these dubious characters, little doubt exists but that they will return. Powell River is fortunate in that it has an extremely efficient licensing inspector who pounces like a hawk the moment such peddlers set foot in the district. We are not so lucky and consequentlyhave to be constantly on the alert. Each week, representatives of highly ethical companies traverse the area, conducting honest business, in most cases providing a needed service. Generally, these men quickly become known as well as the company they represent, with the result there is no problem. Unfortunately, too many sharpies move in fronr-'time to'time, taking advantage of the ethics established by thc reputable salesmen, conning unsuspecting housewives into signing contracts both binding and costly. Many book salesmen fit into this category, offering a number of well known magazines for a mere 25c weekly, which to all appearances sounds an attractive offer. Having signed the dotted line, closer investigation reveals, $2 has to be paid in advance before the first periodical is delivered. A further payment of $2 monthly is then expected for so many months which adds up to usually more than the magazines would cost if purchased from the book stand. __ JThis is but one example,ir^ numerous others, particularly involving appliances, vacuum cleaners etc. Powdered milk with an appliance thrown in, deep freezers with a regular supply of food, arev others. Close investigation of the small print ^ mical figure as the end result. Considerable heartache has resulted from foolishly signed contracts which Could have been avoided with a little forethought and careful scrutiny. There has been little activity of this nature of late, this however, should not be allowed to create a sense of security, in fact all the more reason to be on guard. These people are not easily disposed of and as long asm quick buck is to be made, they will return. There is every reason to assume, this is the lull before the storm. Thc simple solution is "No thanks" and close the door. Wc get only what wc pay for and when a- plausible door knocker tells you your name has been recommended by a friend, beware; he has arrived and is after your mohey. What Happened T© Antomatticm A TORONTO newspaper reports that because of the present labor shortage 44 trained and untrained girls arc being brought to the city from England to work on switchboards in the local Bell Telephone Company office. There seems to be quite an expense involved—advertisements in British newspapers, interviews in London, and the refund of trans-, portsition cost if a girl stays on the job for u year, But the company sees no hope of obtaining the needed employees from the Canadian labor supply. In Toronto crease of 273,000 over one yfcar before. In the five-year 1960-65 .period employment increased by more than 900,000, For all practical purposes the country has now reached a, condition of full employment. However, despite the evidence that jobs have multiplied even as automation has accelerated, there will still be plenty of alarmists left to tell us that the machine is soon going to put us all on the shelf. newspaper, "'there will be 47,(KH. job WMlMltC UleSSIIkeS It is, of course, quite right that the spirit of our birthday celebrations should maintain a tone in keeping with Canada's national and historical significance as our Parliament expressed it in an Act. Nevertheless I continue to declare, in spite of the concern of a few of my friends, that it is no sin for the keepers of hotels, motels, restaurants, roadside lunch stands; shops and the hundreds of thousands of other Canadian businessmen, large and small, who will be selling increased amounts of paint, flags, musical instruments, gasoline and transportation, to look forward to an increase in revenues in the year 1967. It is to be hoped, of course, that all will realize the importance of fair business conduct. Let it not be said by any tourist in our country that he was unfairly exploited during his visit. ' Just to show that there need be no fear of character damage to a Canadian who tries to do better, financially, during the Centennial I point to no less a dignified body than the Canadian Travel Bureau. The Government Travel Bureau hopes to attract a gross income from .--tounsts from other countries of one billion, dollars in 1967. The Bureau also has greatly increased its budget for advertising outside Canada to help produce that hoped-for income. Knowing that there is a solid national effort to produce greater tourism many will be encouraged to accelerate their business activity in the community, particularly with respect to promotion, in a way that produces local business revenue, and at the same time boosts the Centennial, as a national celebration, along with the national economy. Local merchants can do things with their shop windows, counters and advertising which will increase sales and at the same time add to the festive atmosphere for"the Centennials Local-industries«can build their corporate prestige by going along with pur national ■ beautification program: making their properties more attractive, landscaping, cleaning up and painting up and perhaps putting up a new flag pole for the celebrations. Local printers and H. ublishers can get ■ on the bandwagpn too. Mr. Bill Forbes, editor and manager of Canadian Printer and Publisher magazine, brimful of ideas for small town newspapers and printers, told us recently he is running Centennial promotion issues of newspapers and commercial printing project plans. (One novel idea of his for community printers and publishers is to produce wrapping paper covered with montages of old front page news stories published in 19th century issues.) ^ " Style magazine, newspaper for the retail garment trade, is running a column every issue to pass along "how-to" information on Centennial sales promotion. Other business editors are publishing similar material. \ Man can be the most constructive or destructive of all animals when he is motivated by thc IW9 of profits. Let's take the view that we can increase revenue in 1967 in a constructive way that will benefit the Centennial and all of us. Pop. estimates too high? speculates health officer SPEAKING for Coast-Garib. l<Ji Health Unit, Dr. A. J. Cunningham recently listed some vital statistics. "There were 614 births in the area," he said, "and 172 deaths, giving a natural increase of 442, Birth rate 19.8 percent and death rate 5.6 percent are both below the provincial average and make mo think tho population estimates are too high." Of iho births for the area, 305 were males and .".09 were females. office and served in Antigua, Nevis and British Honduras prior to his appointment - to succeed Arthur Kennedy (later Sir) in 1864. .as governor of the mainland colony.

Mainlanders generally opposed union with Vancouver Island. When it came about in 1866 Governor Seymour elected to remain in New Westminster. When the legislature moved the capital to Victoria in 1868 he finally moved There was a great row in Victoria because he diverted the chain gang from street repairs to work on Government House. In 1869 he travelled north in HMS Spar- rowhawk to negotiate a peaceful settlement of a vendetta between the Nass and Tsirrushean Indians. Drained by the experience, he died at Bella Coola on the tetum voyage, June 10, 1869 and was .buried at Esquimalt Naval Cemetery, dose by tbe city where he never wanted to live.

Those of us who live on the Peninsula may obtain this licence by writing tq 'the customs office, either in Vancouver or Powell River. Include the dimensions and the horsepower of your craft and your registration will be mailed directly to you. Even if your boat is not of' 10 horsepower or; more it is a good idea to register it as it is an invaluable aid in the recovery of stolen or lost craft and also helps in cases of accident. The licence number issued must be marked in block characters ih a color contrasting to their background and not less than three inches in height, on each bow or on a board or boards permanently attached to the boat so that the number is clearly visible from each side. Safety equipment that is required by law for your protection on boats not over 18 feet in length is as follows: One bailer or one manual pump;, two pars and rowlocks or two paddles; if equipped with an inboard motor, permanently fixed or built- in fuel tanks or a cooking or heating appliance that burns liquid or gaseous fuel, one class BI fire extinguisher must be carried; one approved lifejacket for every occupant. I would, like to say just a little more about lifejackets. I have read far too many news reports of drownings as a result of boats overturning. More often than not, lifejackets are found in the overtuned craft wedged under the seats or still in the plastic containers they were purchased in. They will not do you much good if you don't wear them. Remember a'life jacket is just like a parachute���if it is not there when you need it you will never need it again. There are' several other common sense -.:���safety_ru.esi!,.<toatirf:shQi4<i,,_.be,> practised^to ensure an accident-free, enjoyable boating season. Don't overload or overpower your boat. When. approaching another power craft alter your,course to starboard. Above all don't attempt to be a "show-off". If you have a fun-filled boating season and - keep -it safe you .will- be around - next year to do it all over again. I had guests up from Burnaby over the 24th weekend in the persons of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Blair. After my bragging a few weeks earlier about the wonderful weather we were having,, they stepped off the ferry at Langdale on "Saturday to a \rad-driven,{biting .cold,; un^seaspnaiiie rain storm.

Mr. and Mrs. Sear who live in a beautifully situated house on the waterfront at Roberts Creek,, are now celebrating the second family reunion within a year. Returning their visit are Mr. Sear's two sisters, Mrs. Florrie Malin from Bourne-. mouth, 81 years, Mrs. Gertrude Mason from Coventry, 79 years; and younger brother, Ernest Sear also from Boure- mouth, who is 78 years. Youngest member of the family was the late Captain Percy Sear who passed away a few short.months after the visit of his eldest brother John ��� who is now 83 years old. Reminiscing while enjoying tea on the lawn in the pleasant afternoon, sunshine, Squaringly Yours -���by Maurice Hem street HELLO, fellow square dancers, that's right, here I am again to bring you the latest square dance action. There is not too' much going on the Sunshine Coast but I do have an invite to all clubs and square dancers from the Lake Cowichan area, so hold onto your hat and pull up a chair while I pass on the information to you all. The Lively Lakers and Record Rockets ^ Square Dance Clubs of Lake Cowichan, iarge��'^tr|>#^ in Van Island> B.C. wish to invite all square; myself and Men ^ dancers to. their Centennial Jamboree to AN OCEAN highway ... 330 miles of it . ... became a reality on May 20 with the first sailing of the $6 million ferry- liner ''Queen of Prince Rupert." Th.s magnificent new addition to the British Columbia Ferry Authority Fleet, largest of its kind in the world, travels a waterway of wonder along the majestic "inside passage" from Kelsey Bay on Vancouver Island to Prince Rupert on British Columbia's mainland Anyone taking this 20-hour "drive" will see islands and inlets held in silence for centuries, mountains and waterfalls passing in endless procession to make the traveller wish that time would stand still. But the scenery doesn't start suddenly at Kelsey Bay and end abruptly at Prince Rupert. The drive to the ferry terminal just north of fabled Campbell River, over a new "modern highway, passes through some of the most beautiful country in the world. Vancouver Island is known everywhere for its amazing outdoor beauty, from the peaceful, lush valleys ringed by mountains to the rugged sea coast and its miles of golden sands. Prince Rupert, the centre of British Columbia's fishing industry, is itself the start point in a journey to totems, timber, and tackle-bustin' trout. From here, the traveller can head north to Alaska by one of the modern, comfortable Alaska State Ferries . . . or east to Prince George via Highway 16. By car, and "Queen of Prince Rupert" has space for over 80 of them, the 450 miles of Highway 16 to Prince George is an easy drive, with plenty of wide open camping spaces and excellent motels and restaurants along the way. Unless you're in a hurry, there are at least 50 spots to stop and stare at on this route. . Rivers like the Skeena, Bulkley, Lakelse, Morice and Kis- piox will make steelhead fishermen forget everything. Lakes and streams, forests, rolling hills, mountain peaks capped with summer snow, boom towns, ghost towns, Indian villages and mining camps���and wonderful people���oldtimers with their memories of the rip-roaring past���young, eager people with their visions of the future���all .anxious to..share this outdoor paradise with those who'll take the time to stop. Prince George, British Columbia's boom town, not only offers excellent tourist accommodation of every kind, but is like the centre of a tourist's compass. From here, right in the middle of British Columbia, modern highways strike north to the vast Peace River country and Alaska, via the Alaska Highway, or south to the rolling Cariboo country and its world famous cattle ranches. First stop on this route is Williams Lake, scene of the annual rodeo which now ranks with the biggest in North America, and gateway to the wild and wonderful Chilcotin country. South again is Cache Creek, where the traveller can turn east to the hunting and fishing paradise of the Kamloops area, or continue on through the fantastic Fraser Canyon to the dairylands of the lush Fraser Valley and the metropolis of Vancouver, busiest port of the West Coast of North America. At Kamloops itself, the traveller can choose to drive east over the magnificent Rogers Pass highway to Revelstoke, the Rockies, and the twin niountain resorts of Banff and Jasper . . . or south to the picturesque lakes and orchards of the sunny Okanagan, centre of a thriving new wine industry and one of the world's great fruit growing areas. The new "Queen of Prince Rupert" service does more than link Vancouver Island to the mainland north. It opens up a new world of travel adventure. Insurance inquiry deadline extended THE ROYAL Commission on auto insurance, scheduled to open hearings in Victoria May 2, will accept briefs from other parts of the province up to June 10, it was announced this week. Mr. Justice R. A. B. Wootton, who heads the commission, said the brief deadline was set back from April 21 to allow preparation of some of the lengthier arguments expected. Judge Wootton confirmed the hearings in other parts of B.C. would not be held until early fall. ���With Your Neighbours SUNSHINE Rebekab.

John remembers how he was often punished by being banished to his room on a diet of bread and water, but this was no hardship for his mother's home-baked bread was always delicious and his father always relented by supper time. : Eventually. John's father depided ,that he could never disuade his son from travelling and In 1906 allowed him to emigrate to Canada where he settled in Winnipeg for a brief spell but the climate sent him further west to Vancouver. It was while crossing the Rockies that John decided that this vast country was to be his permanent, ho'mle.' For, two years, 1908 and 1909 Mr. Sear was ship's joiner on the old Empress of India, sailing to many ports but finding 1 rjohe to compare with Vancouver.

Disruptive efforts Editor,,The Times:' Sir���I take exception to the use-of the NDP club by Orvrlle Braaten for the purpose of promoting a breakaway frqm our union. ThegB-Bffsrts started as early as pcto- bar, 1965, perhaps earlier. Orville is an organizer in this area for the NDP and he used his position in the party to promote his union. He is also a business agent for this breakaway union in Vancouver. Even though an election is coming, there is no evidence that there has been any organizational work done in this area for the party. It is obvious that he has no time for that work. Our local and International Vice- President Stan Green, together with the B.C. Federation of Labor, has complained to Robert Strachan about these activities both here and in Nanaimo and in other areas near our local unions. In Nanaimo the local NDP club has been used by this breakaway union for a much longer time and it seems, more successfully than here. The problem for Mr. Strachan is that NDP clubs have a large measure of autonomy so that Mr. Strachan cannot "order" them to quit these activities. Let me state here that I am a supporter of the NDP party and my objection is tc the misuse of some NDP-clubs to promote the break-up of local unions that have supported the NDP in the past. If these local clubs had put just a small part of their efforts into trying to do a good job of organizing in these areas for their political party they could have done something that would have really helped unions and the people of B.C. Instead, this and other NDP clubs, have been used as a centre for their disruptive efforts. I do not see how anyone who knows anything about the past history and problems of unionism in North America could tolerate the breakup of legitimate unions. I would not claim that our international union is anywhere near perfect. I have never tried to "whitewash" them, but 1 do object to indiscriminate charges made against' people thousands of miles - avvay. *��� This is too easy. It should be noted that there have been no serious charges made against International Vice-President Stan Green or the other international representatives in B.C. These men are all Canadians and their activities Ha vie been closely watched^ Stan Green is one of the most capable union leaders in Canada. I would not claim that our local union executive is anywhere near perfect. A union executive is usually as strong as the support that it receives from the membership and this condition applies here. CHRIS D. JOHNSON, Vice-President, Local 297, Fine achievement Editor, The Times. Sir���It was my pleasure to participate in a small way in the Spring Festival held last Saturday. In my judgement, the participants revealed an enthusiasm, and a spirit which would have won acceptance and praise anywhere. The high quality'of performance achieved and from such large numbers of boys and girls indicates truly that ''everyone is a certain, kind of musician," and intrinsically adapted to tho wealth inherent in the realm of sound, May 1 congratulate the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. G. E. Johnson, the Supervisor of Music, Mr. H. Klyne Heatlfcy. thc Arts Council nnd all others who participated.

The child, without warning, picked up a stick and struck the dog repeatedly across the face. Expostulations from the owner brought an indulgent smile from the mother and" a comment to the effect that "Jimmy doesn't like dogs." It apparently never occurred to this parent that a good spanking might teach Jimmy that dogs, like people, have rights, and that her uncurbed little monster, unless checked, will in all probability grow up to release his sadistic tendencies on any human being whom he happened not to like, even to the point of murder. The newspapers are full of such acts of violence by our "liberated" youth. It would be well if some of these foolish -and ^gullible people who -advocate the ^ pernicious theory of absolute freedom of thought and action for children, would realize that a strong; well-adjusted character is one that is built up on a foundation of well-disciplined childhood. ������ . " , ' M.M. Rising costs Editor, The Times: Sir���There have been too many comments from others besides myself, to let this matter pass. THE COST OF THE MERRY-GO-ROUND RIDE ON MAY DAY WAS TOO MUCH . The Lions should be ashamed for charging so much for rides for children. .At 25c for a ride approximately three minutes "long, they were making ��60 per hour,'" Is it necessary to make money on children, on rides the Lions own and dorii't even need to pay rent on? Surely the fair prices for their food booths were enough that there was no need to exploit the public. May Day is mostly for children, let's not spoil it for them by charging more than is necessary, next year. ., HELEN PHILLIPS. So Much Blarney Editor, The Times .���Sir���Your editorial of May 18th, wherein you suggest, "The merchant always pays" strikes me as a lot of blamsy.

In fact, all the color, in the rain4 bow were visible on lily's face after her argument with a rocky bluff on the Egmont road last Sunday evening. I�� happened this way.

Also on the scene * - were- Mr. a.ul Mrs. Harold Sanford of- students report recent annual field trip SECHELT Elementary School grade 7 vclass recently-^.travelled to Vancouver, for their annual field trip.- On their return they wrote essays on their adventure, two of which are publisher here: After getting off the bus in Vancouver, we went to' the airport The wind was blowing hard and it was very cold. When would the plane* come, for we had been waiting oyer half-an-hour. However, finally our flight number was called; I was excited for it was the very first time in my life to go up in the Air Canada jet. As I went up the stairs, I watched everything around me. The stewardess showed us to our seats and 1 was fortunate to get the left side of the plane, right by the window. We went over Simon Fraser University, Stanley Park and other places in Vancouver_,, then over Gibsons and Sechelt and after half an hour in the air, returned to the airport. 1 felt a bit dizzy when we got off the plane and still felt sick after an interesting tour of the hangars. However I felt better after having a free colce and doughnut in the coffee shop. After that we went to the weather station. We saw the men that report on the radio what the weather will be like, ,itheh went right to the top and saw a weather balloon. It was all very interesting. The last place we went, but it wasn't the least, was the police station, We saw a lot of things there. We had a peek in the courtroom, looked in a room simply overflowing,with, either lost ox stolen bi-, cycles. Also we saw handcuffs and walkie talkies, but of course there were places where we couldn't go in, such as the finger printing room and the jail. But altogether had a wonderful time and I'm sure everyone will agree. ���Phyllis Crowstoo. ��� ���' p'V' .''���'' It was a long tedious trip oh the biis; we sighted the airport and the excitement rose. Wc got off the bus and gaped at the long building in front of us; the excitement was Intense asl wo went through the door in ono big crowd, We walked around and took pictures fojr about five minutes, I was out on the observation deck whop our flight came in. There was a big turbojet plane which seated about f6rty people. , watched tho people como off the piano which' was r|ght In front of the building. > > The flight was announced and we wont slowly up tho stairs to the piano. As wo entered wo could see a stove, somo cups and a seat where tho stewardess" would stay.

Modern youngsters are real sharp .and-they think fast. It is a good thing that John Bosch is a pretty husky specimen of manhood in order to carry the outsize cast that adorns his left arm. The doctors know you John, and your inability to stay still for any length of time. It appears that Johnny, after dousing a small roof-Jare on one of their cottages, took the short way off the roof. A 15 foot drop; straight down. He finished the quick descent with a fractured forearm. Fortunately for the Boschs, the fire was noticed by tbe small daughter of one of their, weekend guests. It was quickly brought" under control with little damage���except to John. And speaking of guests, there were almost 300 fish, predominantly bluebacks, checked in through Bosch's Marina over the holiday weekend. Other accommodation at West's Eesort and Bathgates' was also filled to capacity with almost all getting fish. To close this week's column (and possibly finish it for all time.after my wife sees it in print) another item about an Kleindale who tpok us to the hospital without deiay. Our grateful thanks to all of them, particularly to Harold and Alma for their kindness and help. Under the capable hands of Dr. Paet- kau, Lily was soon treated and put to bed, fortunately without serious injury but with a face that looked as ii she had just gone 15 rounds with Cassius Clay. When I was admitted to her room I thought that Eric had made a drastic error in his diagnosis ���she was in the maternity ward. But .'any old port in a stdrm' as the saying goes, ahd after the nurse calmed me down the shock (of the maternity bit, that is) I realized that crowded 'bed space was the cause of her being there. For the next two days Lily received the best of care from the doctors and staff of St. Mary's and she and her next-bed neighbor, Mrs. Don MacLean of Gibsons, became good friends and talked the hours away, as only women can. At this writing lily still bears a slight resemblance to a racoon, as Dr. Burtnick so aptly described her appearance on the day following the accident. Dr. Swan agreed; but then doctors, particularly old friends like Walter and Alan, can get away with things that a mere husband would never think of saying. She insists on getting behind the wheel again as soon as possible. (I should put her back behind the lawnmower instead.) To close this little episode, WE NEEDED A NEW CAR anyway.' so small it was like a big toy. We flew Over Howe ^Spoind^ and sfollowed the shore near Gibsons but we could see where Trail Bay was. We flew over near Bellingham and saw Simon Fraser University. While all this was going on we were going up to the cockpit. There were dials and levers on the roof and on the dashboard, altimeters, fuel gages,- barometers, speedometers and many other gages and dials Which I didn't understand. When I came back to my seat we fastened our seatbelts and made a three- point landing. We were told not to go into the buildings but wait outside our plane for a picture the pilot wanted of us. From there we v?ent to a large huilding where 'they showed us how they repaired the planes. We saw wheels and wings to be fixed phis engines attd "propellers." They described how everything worked. After that we saw a plane being taken apart in a huge building big enough for at least three large planes. We went after to a cafeteria where we \were served lunch; we had pop and buns. From there we rode over to the police headquarters where we toured the corridors, we were not allowed in the rooms because men .were working. We left there and got home after a very exciting trip, at about seven o'clock -^Greg Hayes.

The man who held the bomb died when it went off. Its lethal power may have been intended instead for the prime mim- ster, or for other ministers, or for a score of members of parliament sitting in the chamber. It was an event unprecedented in Canadian parliamentary history- The shock of it has not yet worn off. Canadians generally and''members of parliament particularly find it incredible that a man would, or could, walk freely into parliament with an explosive device aimed at killing. It was of course the act of a madman. But its implications were no less terrifying. Even before his body was removed from the Parliament Buildings, however, the demands were going up for tightened parliamentary security to prevent such incidents. . The security shield on Prime Minister Pearson was. in fact, immediately tightened on his visits, to Toronto and Montreal, and in the area of his parliamentary office. Quite apart from these understandable precautions however, there were suggestions that the security system in general must be tightened around parliament. Worried members gave the opinion that security was inadequate, that steps must be taken to prevent recurrances, and the public moved for too freely in and around the Parliament Buildings. There was talk of denying access to the public galleries to all except those who obtained special passes from tiie authorities. There were suggestions that the Commons' protective stall should be increased, that policing on the Hill should be more stringent and restrictive. This current Parliament has many reasons to be grateful to Commons Speaker Lucien Lamoreaux. And now it has one more. This remarkable man kept his head on .that, .terrible ,day_. when,many, others,, seemed to be losing theirs. He refused to blame the protective staff for the incident. He refused to commit himself to any increased restrictions on public access to Parliament Hill. This position is simple and logical. Its great virtue is that -��� he was able to take it at a time of real crisis when practically everyone else was submitting to emotional stress "Any place open to the public can never be entirely safe," said Mr. Pearson He didn't think the point had been reached in Canadian democracy where every person visiting the House of Commons would have to be searched. That course, he said firmly, would meet with strong objections from the public, and he did not' propose to adopt it. ^e Commons protective staff is an excellent one. It could be improved, of course, as any security system could be improved. -'-'- But this had to be done through careful consideration anil review. The speaker did not take the position that all was necessarily well. In the light of ah incident such as the explosion, he said, "it would be normal to review security arrangements. ���'. But he stubbornly fought off suggestions that any drastic steps should be taken to restrict the public's free and easy access to Parliament,,,,'.' ��� :,, For this, Canadians owe him much thanks. Canadians are coming to Parliament Hill in ever-increasing numbers. Admittedly some come to scoff, some to laugh, and perhaps a few to applaud. i But they're coming and they're getting to know their Parliament. Tourists from other countries also come in the thousands.' '..;'. ' '.'��� ":" .'.',',:.'

They can't all be searched, even if any one wanted to, And anyone determined to bring in a bomb or a weapon could do so easily enough. It could be concealed in a coat, or a package, or a woman's hand- bag. ,.,���. , There have been suggestions Uiat better control could be obtained by adoption of the British system, where no one gets A B.C. flashback . . . ig changes in 100 years THE passage of 100 years meant little to some of British Columbia's Douglas firs���a few more rings, a broader girth, a few more fire scars. But what a change in the people! Old records in the provincial archives show that the population of the two Cr^wn Colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia in 1866 was, by the most generous estimate, well inside the 65,000 mark. Every Can. child to get medallion A FORMER Ottawa man, retired chief engraver of the Royal Canadian Mint, Thomas Shingles, and a Tofonto artist, Mrs. Dora de Pedery Hunt, are the winning designers in the limited competition for the Centennial Medallion, Canada's Centennial Commissioner John Fisher announced today. Mr. Shingles, who now lives in Victoria, and Mrs. Hunt, will each receive $1,500 for their winning designs: Mr. Shingles for the obverse side of the medallion and Mrs. Hunt for the reverse. The medallions, more than 5,500,000 "of them, will be distributed to all Canadian school-children, grades one to 13, as reminders of ithe centennial year and its significance to Canada and to Canadians. The medallions will be minted by the Royal Canadian Mint and will be made of red brass metal, an alloy of copper and zinc. They will be one and one-quarter inches in diameter or about the size of a silver dollar. Distributions of the medallions will be done through the co-operation of provincial departments of education, and terri- ''ton^'-goveriime]^ ..,.,,,.,...-.,...,,- In the case of the latter, many districts in far north eastern Canada which cannot be reached by water within the schedule for distribution of the medallions will receive the medallions far in advance of ��� other^.CMa.dian.centres, with aircraft of the RCAF making drops o? packages of medallions in the north late next autumn. They will be presented to the school children on June 1, 1967, in simultaneous ceremonies with those held elsewhere in Canada. Communities such as those to the northeast of Hudson Bay and north of Fort Churchill along the west side of the Bay, as well as such locations as Alert Bay and Mould Bay on the Arctic islands will receive the medallions in this way. into the galleries without a pass from authorities. While this seems appealing, it wouldn't offer any real protection against the bomb type of incident. It was only two years ago that Ronald Cawlishaw threw a carton of beef blood onto the floor of the Commons. It could just as easily have been a bomb. And Mr. Cawlishaw made his pitch from a seat in a special gallery which ho had obtained on a pass from a member of parliament. There is quite a bit of support here, for the,speaker's reluctance to impose any kind of restrictions on public access. This is a matter of pride too. Any Canadian, or any visitor from another country, can drop into the House any time it's in session and find a seat. It's a free and easy system, and a good one. It's akin to the pride Canadians can feel in the fact that their prime minister, can move freely about the country without being shadowed by hordes of protective police, Society can't, protect Itself against Isolated cases of madness without violating some dear and valuable rights of citizens in general. From time to time a mad bomber will have his way. When he docs, It,Is up to the rest of us to ensure tljat we don't panic, 'that wc don't sacrifice precious ad- vantages for i\ temporary and in tho 6nd a spurious kind of protection. And today we're nudging 2 million.,: No census had been taken in 1866. But it was thought there were at most 7.J00 whites on the island and 18,000 Indians. On the mainland, white 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 River goldfields 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 colonies merged in 1866, came from customs revenues. , There were duties to be paid on mpst food items and many manufactured itenis 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 town and $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 6 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 the mainstay of the industrial wealth of the land. In. 1866 an est imated $3.5 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 Es-- quimalt a Pacific base. (The fleet under Rear Admiral Hastings on the Esquimalt station included HM ships Zealous, Malacca, Scout, Sparrow- ' hawk and the gunboats Forward and Grap- pler.) ���The- coal-miners at Nanakne-v ning $3 a day and laborers were getting up to $1.75 and the mines shipped 25,212 tons that year. There were about a dozen sawmills gnawing at the timber wealth of the hew united colony. Lumber from Bj.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. The monetary system was a mess. The public accounts were kept in dollars and cents. 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 of 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. y< SECHELT AGENCIES LTD.
