Municipal Affairs considers fire district MINISTER of Municipal Affairs, the HonrDan Campbell,- replying to an application for the incorporation of a fire improvement district at Gibsons, has requested further information and has indicated his department is al- -fe ready looking into the feasibility of the proposals. The Minister said "in order --. WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 196$ IOC that complete^ and accurate information may be presented to the property owners on this proposal, my department is obtaining the assessed values in the proposed improvement district from which we will be able to calculate an approximate mill rate which would have to be levied." Suggesting confirmation of the boundaries of the proposed district, Mr. Campbell has forwarded a map outlining a boundary and requests comments on it from the Improvement District. On the assumption that the Village of Gibsons is to be included in the district it was pointed out that it is possible to Village Council together with an accompanying note requesting copy of a resolution in council indicating that the Village is in favor of becoming part of an improvement 'district for the provision of fire protection and that the cost is to be recovered from aUV tbe property owners in the improvement district by way of special mill rate levy. A number "of -possibIe"~prob^ lems were discussed by council who finally decided to await representation from the improvement district together with more details. Chairman Alf Ritchey stated he felt council as a whole should sit oh' a corn- Some surprise UNKNOWN to her, Harry Gregory of Wilson Creek, had entered his wife's name on a ticket for the Catholic Women's draw.

This, it is felt would be a better alternative than to have separate ^fire^brigiades; The Minister concluded: "I would appreciate receiving from the committee a statement showing how the fire department <****��� is to be organized and giving the particulars" relating to the present equipment, merging of equipment, the" location of facilities and future needs." Copy of the letter wis sent -t proposed district, and that Mr. Campbell be notified council approves in principle.

They have their differences. Often things are most intense where close neighbors are con: cerned. But the tradition is, that at Commowealth Conferences, no one loses bis temper for long.

Five programmes assist in vocational training (THIS is the third in a series of articles by The Minister of Education describing the new senior secondary school curriculum). -��� ^ ���' 'A .. Last- week I mentioned that five program is' whi<$h ptreare students for subsequent vocational school: training would be available for'Grade XI tstuden'is c h t ering senior secondary school in the fall. Not all five will be available in all schools, 'but one which I expect will be given almost everywhere is the Commerce Program because., we know, on the basis of statistics, that oyer 30-, per cent of school students will find employment Jn business and com- ..merce.,,-,;A'r:. ��� Z,..:i...'��� AA ..ZArr.'r,;������:.;. Over the two years, students in the Commerce Program will take the same four general education constants as will students in all others���two courses in English, one in social studies* and one in guidance and physical education. These arc the common elements in the general education of all stud* , ents in senior secondary 'schools/ regardless of program, The second element is formed by the program constants tak* eij by all students in the' Com* / nierce Program. These consist of two courses,, one In Grade XI and one in Grade XII, in general business. The third element of the program is the specialty chosen, and there are three. The secretarial specialty leads to stenography and allied occupations and requires six courses over the two years���typing, two in shorthand, secretarial practice, office practice and office orient- atipn. The accountancy specialty is intended for those students whpse main interest lies in the financial aspects of business. Aga in six courses a re, the re- quirement' of the specialty- typing, applied mathematics, two courses in ��� bookkeeping, one in accountancy and one in quired- by his specialty, each commerce student may choose two electives, one in ,each year. These may be used to make up any deficiency from Grade X, or to satisfy broader interests. ^���*#-'^ ancy specialty, could, if he wished take typing and a course > in music. One interested in science might take two courses in biology. ������ ,,.A...Any��� student .completing ��tt*e Commerce Program will haVe acquired improved skills i n English and mathematics as they are related to office work and will be familiar with new office procedures and equipment, though these are changing r;apidlyv5ic .recommend that students going\mto business or commerce but not wanting to attend university take it. They ���will have .the; basic? require* meats for a business career and can build on these by attending a vocational school or community college where more advanced specialization will be available. And, as I suggested earlier, there is strong indication that the services of trained office people will be in demand. The greatest increase ift , the labour force in recent years has been in the occupational groups called clerical, service, commercial arid financial, and despite the 'worry about automation the trend is expected to Biggest problem at present, he explained, is locating a suitable dump for the Sechelt District. " Information has been written for on the Social Services act and consideration is also being given to the possibility of a regional district. This would take in Squamish and Pemberton.

TRAILER COURT Giving favorable consideration to an application to establish a small trailer court in the Porpoise Bay area, council was told by the clerk, the plans submitted were no more use of a truck and had agreed to supply building blocks at cost. A question by the chairman as to the appearance of a concrete block construction was answered by Coun.

I seem to be having trouble collecting my thoughts tonight, after being out collecting donations for the Sechelt Volunteer Fire Dept. for two flights.

Saturday night, July 17, 1965, saw a lot of action at the open air square dance sponsored by the recreation commission and I would like to thank the onlookers for their donations as. well as the square dancers who without hesitation put their 50 cents each into the hat. After all, where else can you find such entertainment, such as Cousin Clem at the microphone, although I hear that he has gone back to the mountains /or a while. He likes to run around with his shoes off and says it just can't be done properly in civilization. Anyway while Ethyl and Regular Shell stood oh the sidelines' there were two sets of square danc-' crs having a great time alio* mahde letting and I really don't know how many people were watching, and of course I was having my own troubles too, Chuck and Bea McKay from Calvary Joined in the fun, They were the guests of Cal and Irene Tingley, Sure am glad that Cal and Irene brought them to join in our square dance fun, This should happen more often. In the audience from Cardale, Manitoba, were Gladys Parish' brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Clark. I don't know what relation Tom Parish would be and I just haven't enough paper to figure it out Jackv Inglis was up from Gibsons and to make a long story short, I think everybody had a wonderful time. Had a letter from our good friends Bill and Lee Davis and thfey9 say they are settled in their hqgme at Lake Cowichan and are quite happy. This I believe because even their letter was smiling.

By Doug Wheeler . . . New road construction ensures Egmont's future WITH AS little inconvenience as possible. despite the noticeable lack of the Hon. Philip Gaglardi's usual "sorry for ,the��� inconvenience" sigh, a major reconstruct tion program is well under way on the road to Egmont.

Grenfell has designed some of the Pacific Coast's finest cruising yachts, boats noted for their pleasing lines and top performance in all weather. Illustrated plans and huild- ing instructions, in 20-page booklets, are available free from plywood dealers across Canada or can be obtained from Rex Neptune, PO Box 2123, Vancouver 3, B.C.

Retail building costs have been estimated by a Vancouver area lumber and marine supply dealer to be about $540 for tiie boat without motor. Power selection depends on the speed and use desired and the funds available. She will take a large single outboard or two smaller ones for twin power dependability. One of the first boats built to this plan *>was powered by an elderly 35-horsepower Johnson for the first year while the owner budgeted for a larger motor the next year. To his surprise, the old engine moved his boat well. Another early boat gave excellent service with, a Ml horsepower unit even when heavily loaded. She was clocked at over 20 miles per hour.

'AZAa ���By Ed Green ���iTHE DECISION of the Board of Broadcast Governors to -cancel the license of radio station CJOR may be of Mttle interest to we here on the Peninsula, but a closer examination of it will prove it to be of more importance -than we realize. It makes mockery of what we are pleased to call democracy and still more of what we boast is <mt. greatest- freedom, the freedom of speech. It proves beyond question we have neither. ��� happened to 1 1 " 4 . What actually jcaiig^-this drastic decision? We areTtpld tlvat certain grams hroadcast by this station were "offensive" to the "public. What is meant by offensive? Pornography is corned, and is blatantly displayed on -'almost any bookstand. Sex, homosexuals, teen-age school girl pregnancies, drugs, anything you want to name are freely discussed even in the politest "society today and while some might not consider it of- -fensile-rthere are others who do, yet little or no determined effort'is made to stamp, it out. It is accepted as inevitable in our modern way of life. It-was well known to anybody who listened, and there were thousands, that a commentator on a CJOR open line show condemned the church "and all professions, * especially lawyers ,,and. doctors.,Qn��� another open line show over this same sta- .tion another commentator gave free rein to a male and female homosexual who went into the most intimate details regarding their practises. He later, on another show; tentatively hinted that the smoking of marijuana by high school kids and university students was nothing to get alarmed about. In short nothing was sacred to either, of these persons; and thousands of listeners approved. These programs, it is said, were the basic reasons behind the BBG's -^decision. Newspaper - columnists and commentators inferred that .the internecine' struggles in the station's management were not favored by the BBG. Be that as it may it is, to put it bluntly, none of the BBG's business. Their own tight hierarchy is not noted for its smooth operation. Haw was the recommended cancellation,of CJOR's license , brought about? It was, it is said, a routine matter. Once every four or five years the BBG travels across Canada and holds meetings in all the principal cities. At these meetings radio station owners, make ap- ��� plication for the renewal of their licenses. This more or less is automatic and the license Is renewed without question. When the Board; sat in Vancouver all other station applications were renewed except that of CJOR The Board recommended that this * be cancelled. This came as no surprise. Some feel it was , an open secret around Ottawa jthat the fateful decision had 'been made, before the Board , Heft on its trip. Representatibtis made on behalf of CJOR by lawyers and public bodies bad , no effect, > The cancellation must' 'jstand.7 V7f'-: .; 77': The foregoing Is the bare facts handed to the public, As is customary In these cases thero are rumors that much more was involved. How much more? Ddcs It matter? This column doesn't cprc a tinker's toot what was involved. The shocking truth is that free speech wns arbitrarily stifled nnd a 30 year old company ordered to ���*��!UMJ_J^L9M*^i.J(0IUWhAtJtM. , could get. Wo hold' no brief for CJOR, <���>���- Tho programs in question wero, to put It mildly, In the worst , possible taste. The BUG, know this before thoy ever held their ( sitting in Vancouver. Why did they ��y>t Act then? There munt ���,be���,regulations whereby they can Issue warnings or nssc-ia , penalties for stations Retting out of hand with their program contents. Why wore Ihey not used? IMhcy w��ro, no men- fy tion was made of it, Why? Once it became officially publici that th�� CJOR wave length, 600 KC was available to approved applicants there was little or no strong- protest from - others in the industry. Why? Were they afraid that their own licenses might be cancelled if they exercised what we have formerly, considered the right to criticize government actions? We don't know. All we do know is that many of them were standing by with their cheque books ready to snap up tlie remains of CJOR at bargain prices. The newspapers;though rivals in the highly competitive field of advertising, \vere strangely silent. Is it possible that they felt that at no time had they ever published anything offensive to the public? That is hardly likely. As stated before, we are not interested in the reasons, or lack of them that brought about the recommendation to cancel CJOR's license. What we are interested in is the alarming fact that a mass communication media, radio . stations or. publishers, can be forced out of business by simply refusing to renew their license to operate. Where now is your highly touted "free speech?" Since thousands of listeners, by far the greater majority, approved of the programs, up to a point, where now your democracy? What does the man in charge of acting on the BBG's, drastic ruling, Transport Minister .J. W. PickersgiU think of this? He makes it fairly obvious in a letter to Ron Basford, Liberal MP for Burrard. He says: "I would be personally very sorry to see the assets of the owners of CJOR depreciated in value and I am very hopeful ^that some solution of this problem can be reached which will prevent such an outcome." The assets of a radio station and its license can run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. Without that license they are reduced to the bargain prices of used equipment. While this might be of major importance to the big money boys it has nothing to do with what is really important,' the right of free speech.

Glaze fish io prevent drying THE sportsman who owns a food freezer brings home his catch, cleans, wraps, and quick freezes it for future enjoyment. Even il he leaves the job to you, -the- pleasure of having fresh fish year round is well worth the effort. ������->��� -~��� Freeze only freshly caught fish and work quickly. Keep the fish chilled.

Medi-Care, I do however feel that careful study now could eliminate many of the faults involved in such a scheme. So, this is why on my visit Logging Camp in Vancouver and Debbie are also on a visit to Britain I spent so much of my time running down all the information I could on medi care. It is very evident to me that no effort has been taken there to let the people know the truth about the so-called FREE health plan. I asked the same question everywhere I went, from business executives to workmen'»' storekeepers, cab drivers, and everyone I came in contact with. In not one single instance did I ever find anyone who could tell me. I received the regular answer that it was a deduction from every pay cheque of 17s 6D or $2.40 per week. I pointed out that this was not the cost; but a form of taxation to produce funds to pay the cost. This form of taxation started out producing eight per cent of the cost but now, with the increases, produces 15 per cent. Where, then, does the balance come from? Seventy-eight per cent comes from the exchequer or general taxation. So then, there has to he.recognized that general taxes must produce the money to pay the cost of medi care, Re* member ""that the wage standard in dollars is exactly half of what it is here, so to get the comparative relation of taxes to wages It Is necessary to double* all thc figures quoted. Tnko a package of cigarettes, The price of a pack of 20 Is 25. tents plus 55. cents tax, ,1 visited a tobacco plant In Ireland nnd this plant turned over the Exchequer one and one half million dollars daily in taxes collected from the peope, A gallon of gas costs 30 cents plus 50 cents tax. A small car license costs $55, a TV license costs §15. However, this latter is to cover the BBC which actually only transmits from 5- p.m. td 11 p.m. Incidentally, I checked on the gas tax to see if it went to the local governments to pay for roads, or who received it, and I found it went directly into the exchequer funds. Liquor taxes and ale, wines, and beer costs are all taxed the same way. Six per cent of the cost of medi care or 198 million dollars annually' is paid by paying patients. That is, people who desire private rooms or wish special treatment . not ' covered by the plan. People remarked to me that the plan covered, free glasses. So I investigated this point and found that, indeed, the plan gave free eye testing, but there was a fee for each lens supplied. This was about $1, and there were cheap frames supplied, but I never found anyone ill, my..';.travels who, Vadmltted wearing the government Issue. Everyone admitted they had io purchase;the frames, and here is the njb, Thc prices paid by the Individual ranged from $12 to $24 for the frames. Double this to our wage standard''and you will'find.that here you don't pay much more for glasses, You also have to pay a charge for false teeth, but 1 found that ln the case of dentistry medical plans in which we have quite as general coverage as we do for medical care plans. I mentiontd that 15 per cent of the money for medi care comes from wage deductions, 78 per cent from general taxes and 6 per cent from paid patients and the balance of 1 per cent comes from gratuities and legacies. Tins is where the money comes from. Now, where does it go? The following table ^learly-Hlustrates-several-points- which I will 'deal wtth. The first figure is for 1965 percentage and the second 1949. Central Administration, .6, 2.4^ Administration of E. C. Services, .7, 7.7; Supplementary Opthalmic Services, 1.8, 4:5; Welfare Foods, 3.5, Other Central Gov't Services, 1.5, 10.9i Hospital Administration, 59.2, 48.6; Hospital Capital Costs, 6.5, .8; General Medical Costs, 8.8, 11.7; General Dental, 6.5, 6.9; Pharmaceutical, 10.9, 6.5. I found that today there are 3,000 less hospital beds than there were when |he plan be* —fan. When I inquired I was informed that today there is a lot more space per bed than previously and, indeed, this is so for I inspected a new hospital almost completed and it was of the highest calibre. However, please notice that while the cost of dentist care has remained almost stationary, the percentage cost for doctors has . gone down from 11.7 per cent to 8.8 per cent. You may ask why this should be. Next week I will explain the system as I understand it. Bay and Sechelt Inlet, It was nice to have a .call from these old friends they see many changes.
