To-, assist in' the formation, Mr. Prittie- asked that a com- . missoder be appointed to represent' council on the water committee of the Development Group. He also explained that the group would be following the recommendations as set out in a survey report, prepared for the municipality by engineering consultant Martin J. Dayton, and sought council approval to invite Mr. Dayton to address the group. Comm. Sam Fladager was appointed as council representative, while it was explained Mr. Dayton was at liberty to speak where he wishes but his attendance at the meeting would be at no expense to the village. The chairman expressed the opinion that the Village Clerk Charles Goj^ secretary-treasurer to the group. He was told by Comm. Fladager that it was not for council to tell the group who they were to have as secretary- treasurer. WATERAPPEAL Stating his house had been closed up for six months, a resident of Gower Point Road, appealed his water rate bill. He admitted he had failed to notify the village office accordingly but had not realized it at the time. Comm. Jim Drummond explained there was nothing council could do in the matter. The onus was on the user to notify council, and it would be illegal to rescind the l/ill. SNOW CLEARING Comm. Fred Feeney reported he had received a letter from the department of highways in reply to a request for assistance in keeping School Road open during heavy snow. The department said it could not guarantee to keep the road free of ice and snow but would salt and sand when its own msmsmm roads have been made passable. (' _- *��� ' " Following a ��* suggestion by Comm: "Feeney, it .was moved the clerk5 ascertain the cost of snow plow attachment, to be fitted to the front of the village works department truck. AIRPORT DAMAGE Reporting! on the airport, Comm; Drummond said there naturally was little aircraft activity at this time of year. Recent heavy show had caused damage to the new road and approaches which he estimated wou}d be in the region of between S500 and $1,000. A meeting of the airport committee is to be held within the next month. Regarding a seismic study of the village water supply, the commissioner announced, cost *would be "about $2,000; whichw he felt would be too high at this time. The chairman said he felt the figure was not too high. He was told by Comm. Fladai ger that while this might be so; the money'"would" go a long way toward providing a proper water project. BPILDING CODE Commenting on the necessity of revising the building code, Comm. Drummond said he had noticed, while travelling down south, the effective way in which planning worked. He said he is convinced professional planning advice'would prove of great benefit and ^vill be needed soon in Gibsons. "If we are to go ahead with harbor development, we need to find out where we are going," he added. It was moved the clerk contact a town planner in order to ascertain costs for this type of project. FIRE DOOR Although previously notified by council that a fire door had to bo Installed to the furnace room at the new apartment building in Gibsons, it was reported that no action has been taken by the owners. ' The clerk assured council he had informed the fire marsbnll of this and steps would be taken accordingly. mwmmx The Times Phone 885.9624 ST. JOHN'S UNITED CHURCH Wilson Creek, B.C.

So said Arthur E> Kennedy who succeeded Sir J a m e s Douglas as third fl governor of Vancouver Island. He made this remark when the assembly of the struggling colony cut his salary.. The handsome, courtly Irishman with a 20-year army background, former governor of Gambia, Sierra Leone and West Australia, found the colony experiencing a depression. Victoria merchants and tradesmen had extended too much credit to outfitting miners. Despair and unemployr , ment were rife. But despite his reluctance, he ordered retrenchment, cut government spending, ordered men to work for dole, <taxed imports, established farmers and organized a search for minerals. When he found there was no Government House for his residence, he rented a house and refused to hold receptions. Later he bought Cary Castle and ultimately., the colony bought it from him as a vice-regal residence. He lef,t here in' 1866 to be governor of Hong Kong, then Queensland. He died aboard ship on the Red Sea in 1883,' leaving a son and two daughters. A monument was erected in his honor,, not In B.C.. but in Hong Kong.

This basically, is available to rural areas considered to be low income areas and in need of financial support for such projects as agricultural development, studies and research to develop programs planned to improve rural incomes, land development, some kinds of fisheries development, development of public parks and recreation areas, including roads, power, wharfs, etc. and many other projects. Among items eligible under special consideration are; water development, transportation and parks. J Following a meeting at which MP. Jack Davis outlined the scheme and suggested the formation of a committee to investigate needs of the Peninsula which might qualify for a grant under the scheme, generally known as ARDA, such a committee was formed with Norm Watson as chairman. This whole. project is federal-prbvincial . with each province responsible for initiating projects and programs, carrying them out and sharing half the cost. On the recommendations of Mr. Davis, the committee actively worked on a project and sought the,assistance of Victoria regarding a survey of the district. From here on, the magnificent run-around meted out by the department of agriculture has driven the committee members almost to distraction. One department official attended a meeting and informed them that nothing could be expected of Victoria until a complete, survey of" the" province, could be carried out, This would be within the next year or two, In the meantime, the committee should undertake a survey of the Peninsula in order to'ascertain average income of residents, general requirements etc, etc, Due to.the unsatisfactory and conflicting ��hat *��'! ��fP��" situation outlined by the official, the Agricul- S"M Jw-jh. Nj tural Minister was asked to clarify the provin Which does indeed lend support to the: tive prices There is such an abundance of other species of fish produced, that it is thought the involved methods required to handle the greyfish would raise costs to the point that competitor similar fish few hours of being caught, summer fishing would be unlikely. In colder winter temperatures, it is possible to hold the fish for three days, but higher summer temperatures speed up the action of the acid content, peculiar to greyfish, causing permeation of the fish with an amonia-like flavor, making it unpalatable. Many tourists, particularly those coming from European countries are as delighted with ��� a catch of greyfish as with cod. Actually, the fish is said to be equally delicious, if it is either deep-fried or broiled. Pan frying is not recommended. They must be skinned within hours of being caught Even the skins are^j.::.used.v,to,,���make. various products in Germany. One process produces a fine furniture-polishing cloth. The lowly dogfish���oops!��� greyfish, may yet come into its own. views of many committee members that we are being politically blackmailed., In other words, vote in a Social Credit MLA and become one of the favoured constituencies. That this should be the case is very doubtful, in various ways most of the provincial departments and Ministers have proved more than fairly disposed toward the district. It would appear that the particular dept. in question is the one bad apple in the barrel. The arrogance of Mr. Richter is no asset to his government and certainly does little to further its cause on the Sunshine Coast.

During World War Ii, the liver of the greyfish was highly prized, and, depending on oil content, brought the fisherman up to as high as $3.25 per lb. When oil was no longer in demand, price of liver fell to a few cents per pound. All but ignored for years, the schools of greyfisn had their own population explosion, and became a hated menace to other more valuable species of fish upon which they prey. One hears stories told by fishermen of travelling through schools of greyfish which stretch for miles along the coast. Justifiable concern is frequently voiced over the increasing tolls taken by these fish, while the fisherhUMi's catches decrease each year. Prices now being paid for the flaps andliver, are nominal, and the number of fisheniK-n engaged is limited to1 those w,hose names were-drawn, from among the men who were hi terested enough to attend a sj>��>- cial meeting held In,Vancouver. last fall.

Since we are very happy to be Canadians .We are, also twice as happy- because we - ...'have, free enterprise. The Japanese or jthe- Russians^ do .not.haye.^^us'.'bliessirig so they are allowed to send their float- . ing fish canneries right in to��� . ��� . . , , our own.yard: and swipe what SPEED with which the federal government raised sal- we consider to: be our fish. A ' " "~ ^\~^~j~j ���i.. u��� *.���� ��,��i,��*,, whi, It is still better if you are only half a Canadian because the government will see that you get a little more than your rights to make you welcome here and they will clobber anybody who even slightly resents you walking, off with any of the natural resources. This is a somewhat more than an exalted state but the greatest thing of all is to be an American because you do ���of have to recognize that anybody has any rights, especially in their own country, and all the rich natural resources are a giant smorgasbord where everything is up for grabs. You do not have to consider any- tiling or anybody. You simply . move in; set up shop and proceed with the grabbing. Canadians are much too refined to indulge in such uncouth tactics. They do not loot anybody's country because they are much too busy swiping from each other. If there is a patch of timber, or even salal that is not guarded by a trigger happy shotgun enthusiast,, surrounded by trained police dogs, it is possible it will suddenly disappear and subsequent inquiry will reveal that it has been lifted by somebody from the next district, or even the next province. If you run screaming" to the cops" about such an outrage they will agree that it is indeed a scurvy thing to do and send you to the forestry department to see if you can prove there was anything there in Hie first place. Once this has been proven and the forestry department . can't see any way to collect royalties or cash, penalties of any kind, you are shushed out the door and told to come back when- you have something sensible to complain about. You are then free to walk around . talking to yourself and wondering if there isn't a patch of something somewhere else that you can swipe before somebody else gets wise to it. If you find one and apply for it in the proper legal manner, it is advertised far and wide and ' put up for auction. Somebody in maybe Revelstoke, or even Puyallup, Washington who never saw the stuff or even knew it was there will either outbid you or slide in and start chopping before the ink is dry ,on your application, Therefore your best chance is to chop first and apply afterwards. Of course, if you are a Canadian, this is frowned on and you will be promptly pinched and fined. You should know, better. If you ,. are a half Canadian you will be gently chidcd and told not to do it again, If you are an American .somebody will say "T��k tsk" and let it go at that because we cannot afford to offend our cousins on tho other side of the '.'imaginary" boundary, , Imaginary is right; it doesn't exist at all for a lot of people, T h i s,,,.. somewhat unethical plundering Is approved by ono and all because it goes under, the ({olden robe of what wc call "free cntcrpri��o," TIjIh means that under our system , where all men are equal, only some are more equal than others, you can go anywhere in the country and develop an industry of any kind. Once you have proven it a success the other - fellow, also a 'believer in free enterprise, can move in and scoop up the" gravy while you are still trying to pay off what it cost you to start By the time you have gotten over your first shock, two or three others, having used up everything in sight in their own areas, move in and soon as they have cleaned up everything around you they ^nove out and leave you with nothing but memories and the local merchants with a lot of unpaid bills. This is "free enterprise" at its best. Practically everything is free for its greatest bolsters. Looking back over the years we can see where we have had a lot of free enterprise on this Peninsula. It was great stuff for the locals but better still for those from other places. It was so good for them that the Credit Bureau thought Sechelt was "a" dirty' word instead of a place. When they finally did wake up and sent their collectors out ythey found nothing more than the scars where free enterprise had been practised to the fullest extent. How anything could be made to grow there within the next 50 years is a mystery that isn't solved yet. But this doesn't matter. We are all good Canadians and we respect the rights of others. We would do still better and respect our own if we had any. Ask any Indian. While they are wondering what to protest about next somebody, their own neighbors in. fact, come right into their own backyard" and since timber is too hard to carry out under the ���arm they make up for it by swiping their salal. We are happy to be Canadians. We should be. The people who flock across our invisible border assure us we are a great people with a great country. This is a very peculiar because as far as they are concerned, we are as invisible as our border to them and if our country is great we would like to own enough of it to find out, Of course, statistics show we have more money per capita stuffed into savings banks than anybody else in the world and we are going to keep' it there Seek pension increase given usual brush-off lot of. our people are very an- ��� *noyed' at this-even if they are out off their own. territory and practically - swiping the other fellow's living. This is because they are Canadians and are exercising free enterprise no matter what it costs the fellow who has to stay there and make it h&fhorae,f -v Seriously, free enterprise is a great thing and should apply to everything - but natural, resources and--by natural resources we- mean everything from minerals, to -timber and right down, to the lowly salal. Make no mistake about the latter; it isn't so lowly. It is around a four-million-dollar-a- year business and is good for a fast buck to a lot of people even if they are on Unemploy* ment Insurance. Mexico, an allegedly backward country, has a lot of valuable natural resources but you can't dig a shovelful of sand without governments permits and supervision, even if you are a native. If you are an alien it is tougher than ever. aries of MPs, is exceeded only by the rapidity with which election promises to old age pensioners^ are cast aside, until,next election approaches. .'v of '" ^���^���^~ Seeking an increase of the pension to $100, the following is a copyof a telegram sent to Prime Minister L;, B. Pear- -scajj January 5th by tbe\ Senior Women's Committee fotf Pension Increase; ,..., "The Senior Women's Committee foe Pension Increase strongly urges you to increase the Old Age Pension to $100 per month at 65. High cost of living especially drugs and rent makes food and clothing impossible. All other pensions and allowances have been raised. $100 per month would give a good and regular boost in industry and comfort the elderly people. Result of election indicates concern of people." The following is Mr. Pearson's reply to the telegram; "The Government is conscious of the financial difficulties which a number of Canadian senior citizens encounter and hopes that, with the cooperation of the provinces, it group Recreation Commission limitsitsactivities ACTIVITIES of the, Sechelt Recreation Commission should be restricted to Sechelt, outside areas come under the regional recreation and the recreation director, Chairman Christine Johnston explained at meeting of Sechelt Council, last week. Her comments followed the ~ presentation to council of the annual recreation commission report by Comm. Joe Benner, chairman of the Sechelt Recreation Commission. Under question were "payments and donations from outside districts which it was explained went toward cost of bringing in a swimming instructor last summer. The chairman said that $550 were donated by the village for this purpose and was far more than Sechelt's share. She explained that responsibility of paying for the instructor was not that of the Sechelt group. All we are responsible for is our share, she said, when the Kinsmen sponsored the classes it only cost the village $50. Obtaining the costs- from outside is the director's function, not ours. Comm. Benner said this was creation. Asked by Comm. Benner if she would care to explain to Mr. Lawrence, the chairman said she would be glad too. It was therefore moved Mr. Lawrence be asked to attend the next meeting of council. Clerk Ted Raynor asked who bad been responsible for hiring the swimming instructor, be was told, Mr. Lawrence. SNOW CLEARING ��� ���:. Comm. Benner suggested letters be sent to H. Swanson and Roy Bolderson thanking them for their untiring efforts' in keeping streets clear of snow during the recent down- fajl. It was so moved, letters be sent out accordingly, will be possible to provide those in need with greater assistance under the Canada Assistance Plan." Signed: R. H. Belanger, X . . . Secretary ,-.<��� Disgusted with the evasive reply from the Prime Minister's Secretary a straight 'and to-the- point reply has now been forwarded to Mr. Pearson which states; '������-' Thank you for your letter?<A January 6th, in which'--you. clearly, state that you have ^o_-^ intention of increasing the Old Age Pension to $100 per month, but will help the needy. , In view of the mformatirin the Senate Committee on Ageing gave us, that 50 percent Of the women and 40 percent of the men betwen the ages of 70 and 79 are living on less than $1000 a year, roost of "the senior citizens are in need. there is no way of knowing who needs assistance other than ....a^meara^ forming you that the senior citizens and their families will cot tolerate that. The elderly people are not charity cases and will not be treated so. There has been no suggestion of a means test- for any other increase in pensions, salary increases or allowances, so why discriminate against the people who made the increases for others possible? We do not urge you to increase the pension, we expect you to do it and to have a free vote in parliament on it. It was reported that you said you realized that the Liberals lost the vote of the senior citizens in the election November 8th and from the letters our committee is receiving, the loss of votes wjU be much greater in the next election if your policy is riot changed.

Axel and Alice Neilsen and Hughie and 'Tory' Morgan were last seen a few days be- Jervis "inlet area, having spent almost all of the past ��y Egmom'"roadr'tteir"cars ���by John Dunlop OLDTIMERS' CORNER���'Sniper Bill' Hodgson is probably as well known as any oldtime logger in the ��� ������� La^Hm 59 years in and around' this district Now in his 81st year. Bill is still as "active "Ys"plent>r'o'f''men many years his. junior, and self- reliant to a degree seldom seen in men of his years. Perfectly capable of looking after himself, and he does, Bill Hodgson represents, a breed of men. who are, unfortunately, fast disappearing in this modern day and age. Men who depended on their own efforts to see them through, who were not afraid .''' of an honest day's work and did not rely on a beneficient government to supply their daily needs. With good neighbors in his vicinity, Bill's weekly shopping trips to the local store are usually made in their company, either by automobile or ���boat, but when the occasion requires he does not hesitate to launch his skiff and make the two to three mile round trip with the aid of a strong back and .a pair of oars. Willam ftichaVdson Hodgson was bom in Kirkby, Lonsdale, England, in 1885 and emigrated to the UfS;A. at the age of 20. Bosch for a number of years in the latter's Sechelt and Jervis Inlet camps. Bill Hodgson acquired the nickname of 'Sniper' back in his early logging days due to. his being particularly adept at sni'ping or shaping the ends of logs with an axe in order to facilitate their movement when being hauled out of the bush. Quite a character, this remarkable 'young' fellow ( I wouldn't dare use the word, old). A colorful career behind him and well-liked and respected by all who know him. What more does almost hidden by Christmas trees, and with a holiday took on their faces. I'll bet that the heavy snows they encountered in the Port Moody area a few days later changed things in a hurry; and made them long for the mild climate they had left behind in the Egmbnt banana-belt. Oh yes. folks, we had a sprinkling of the white stuff also, but out Port Moody way? Well, you can't win all of them and next time you will know better. Anyway, it is nice to welcome you home again after what, we expect, was a very enjoyable holiday. Egrnont Community Centre Club will hold its Annual Gen- Five communities.. . ..

A brief on the herring. bait problem in Pender Harbour, prepared by the Fisheries Committee for presentaiiony to. the Department of Fisheries, was- presented to the meeting for. approval; It was* decided that Peter Benjafield,* of the Committee, would present the brief in person, to Mr; Hours- ton; Department of Msheriesy. Vancouver. Interest was expressed in the progress being made by tbe Volunteer Fire Brigade in promoting the* formation of a Fire Protection District, and'a member of the Brigade will be asked to speak fo the Chamber. In reply to their request, the School Board~ will be mvited to! have a representative address a Chamber meeting regarding referenda. Copies of correspondence from school board regarding their attempts to obtain free ferry transportation for school children, and school personnel was outlined to the meeting. After some discussion- indicating majority opinion- in favor at free transportation for children, the matter was tabled. Chairman Markle Myers expressed' concern over figures which he * presented to the meeting, .showing a drop-off n* the number of high school and- elementary students, attributing the decline to families being forced to. move elsewhere to seek employment. Figures covered high .school attendance' from 1900 to 1966. He said tlmt even now, some people who were born here are contemplating moving away bc- .cau:ic of dwindling occupations. Mr. Myers deplored the lack of industries, and said; that, whether wc like to admit It or not, this is a depressed area, He said he hoped, the Chamber might do , something (of attractr secondary industry to> the area; or,���-possibly through A-R.D.A., dp something to- promote the establishment of; .secondary .Industry/.' Invited to speak to the Cham* bor regarding the closure of Oyster Farms in Render * liar- hour, Mr W, Gardiner, oyster grower, explaned tlio Fishery Dopartment and Health Department rulings on'..allowable, bnctorln count, beyond which ,s��Je of oysters for direct con. sumption is restricted, The count In Pender Harbsurwa.' ters rose above pcrmjssnblo limit, forcing the closure, Ail- though growers im closed' areas' can, with permission, franufen f their oysters to approved areni bod.s, nnd after a twoivvecfc cleansing perlbdl tho oyster* can then be marketodV tho* In* crensed cost reduces the profit to the point where It is scarcely, worth the tima and* trouble involved, '< v Mr, Gardiner Said' he; was glad ��*tho���Chfl'm'ber-Hva��*wtiion.w; cerhod, because oyster grow- lng�� did provide n small see- ��� oitdary industry, tflvlug cm., , ployment to eight or jhlmv people, Howero, ho thought that at this timo, there w��n illUito that could l>e accom- pltahccl through tho Chamber, , Fdr tho moment tho growers ��� would just have to wait It out, JUa Htal/ud that he ban an oytdor done;right;now, a- twelve-month' schedule of testing is being, fol- - lowed* and checks are made constantly, ,ad all times of- day and' night. The* Oyster Growers Association is trying to- challenge the basic premise which esta-' blishes the allowable bacteria count in* Canadian waters, as if is less thab that allowed for U.S. growers. Faced' with tbe loss of a tremendous revenue from oysters,-, in* the U.Si, the permissible level of pollution was�� raised to compensate for the- increased bacterial count, thus allowing: tho industry to continue, to. exist, Blasts of; Hie oyster' beds ia Washington^ state are situated in areas of dense population- where: potential pollution hazard- is much -greater than ' that? of tbe raajwty ofa the Bi�� beds. which: have been? closed; Mr. Gaffdiner, an* members o�� tfte> ���tesnber expressed: concern overt the mcoroplete* pn* blicitygiven ���clbsuros; .which could ruin the industry when people panic because they do not have a true understanding- ofc the situation; It was agreed that neither tourists nor local - residents refrain from eating Harbour oysters, and none seems to- suffer any ill effect. However, Mr. Gardiner stated that the public should be cautioned against eating oysters which have been out of water for several hours at low. tide and exposed to the hot summer sun, because the bacteria count becomes fantastically high under such conditions, Mr. Gardiner said that he would like to appear before the Chamber again, with mor<�� concrete and complete information, and perhaps at that time the Chamber could make a recommendation. Mr. Bremer*, who also has an oyster claim in the Harbour could not be contacted to attend the . meeting, Jand Mr. Gardiner had' little time to prepare his. ^address to the meeting which was called on short notice, Originally scheduled for Jan, 17, the meeting was called for Jan* 12; to allow members to meet with Mr. Al Hickey, .Western.Representative of the ���Canadian Chambers of Commerce, who was visiting the area on that date, In his brief address to the mooting, Mr. Hlckoy &tres��qd the need! for Canadians to become- better- flctnihihted with their own' country and' to see1. how others int Canada live; He saidi "It la Interesting to not*} that many of us have* not seen all oC Canada" and ft. to;.'.essen�� Ual to know how others inCnn- ado live if wo are to have one m��31om Mr, Hictaoy reported1 that members of somov EaNtem Chambers wem planning tours NEED A CAR?
