Jurisdictional dispute Teackers, board diff0iT on use of aides SECHELT School District and Sechelt Teachers' Association have differing opinions on Ihe use of teachers' aides in Gibsons Elementary School learning disability program. _ . Teacher aides were operating under the federal Local Initiatives Program (LIP) grant of $11,833. The grant is intended to" pay for five aides helping , children who suffer specific language disabilities. Three of tho aides were not allowed to r e po r t to work at Gibsons Elementary School last week. , School trustees as a special meeting unanimously decided that the teacher aides hired under LIP be re-. turned to Gibsons Elementary School and R. R. Hanna, district superintendent, was directed to call a staff meeting of the Gibsons Elementary teachers and state the board's position. Sechelt Teachers' Association maintains that the aides are being used as teachers and state that B.C.. Teachers' Federation policy does not sanction the use of teacher aides to be used as teachers in the classrooms. In a press release to The Times, the board of trustees made the fol- /> lowing statement in regard to teachers', aides returning to Gibsons Elementary School: "It was realized, however, that because-of the harassment that these aides had previously been subjected to they may not wish to return to Gibsons Elementary in which case they would be deployed to other schools. 'NO REPLACING TEACHERS' "In no way are the aides replacing teachers since staffing in this district is already much better than page 3 Study ot Sunshine Coast . . . Problems facing Peninsula explained to UBC students COLLEEN Connor, 13, daughter of Mr. ' I anj) Mrs. Dennis Connor of Roberts-.

President of the council^ Mrs. Doreene Dockar, said the scholarship of $150 was created to further the studies of qualified _ local talent.. "Colleen is the recipient of the award tor imr she said. Colleen is studying ballet at Anna Wyman School of Dance in West Vancouver. She must take five lessons weekly so she-boards in North Vancouver .and attends Balmoral Junior High School in North Vancouver. Colleen told The Times that she wanted to, become a professional ballerina when she completes her studies. . Mrs. Dockar said that enthusiastic young ballet student has received many recommendations from qualified teachers/ Cdlleen said that she will take her elementary ballet exams in April. "They are~< very difficult," she told The Times. Pender C of C asks elevator survey PENDER Harbour' and Egmont Chamber ����rf Commerce has added its voice to the demand for improved ferry service and facilities to the Sunshine' Coast. The Chamber has written to Robert Strachan, minister of highways with regard to an elevator or escalator service on the Sunshine Coast Queen. The Cham- he&goes further and comments about the lack of first aid facilities on the vessels plying Howe Sound. ^ The letter, written by D. H. Pye, secretary, states: "We understand that there are no trained first aid personal on board the vessels between Langdale and Horseshoe Bay and no oxygen therapy equipment available. "It is our sincere wish that you have a survey made by a competent company, such as Otis -Elevator, and establish definitely whether or n6t escalators would be a' practical answer to this problem. \ti IttMclosin&'we respectfully ask your, -indulgence m this m&ter that^'ia so vital to the many elderly people who are resident on the Sunshine Coast, and who make such use of these vessels, and who, are, stire. you will agree, are a very important segment of our society, as witness'what your government has already accomplished in their favor.

They asked members for their comments about the area���what they wanted and what they didn't want to see happen in the overall development of. the area. Jack Mercer of Secret Cove spoke out strongly against the department of highways present policy of requiring road access to tho water every 600 feet. "These allowances must be 66 feet wide with a 30 foot road bed," Mercer said, "and this creates a scar every 600 feet right down to the waterfront. This should be done away with." Mercer said that with 'tiro mountainous and rocky terrain on some portions of the Sunshine Coast, the policy is in some cases virtually impossible to carry out. Members felt that the Peninsula should be retained as a recreational type area, "with industry generally kept out" Bill Ncllson said that Sechelt Inlet is one of the tew unpolluted waterways , left. Chamber president Morgan Thompson said the Peninsula should bo retained for recreation nnd residential use only. Thompson sold that the ferry system to the Peninsula leaves a lot to be desired and added, "There should be smaller, faster and more lorries to keep tho traffic circulating." Generally the members decried the use of the big ferry, Sunshine Coast Queen, because^ she's too big and not fast enough, "Other ferries make better time." Ono member quipped: "Why don't wo just use the Queen Mary, sail her once a month and take everybody." Thompson was critical of the ferry's service and food, Tho students asked the chamber executive , members what they thought of tho population increase that Is certain to continue. They asked about water and a policy to restrict population by making lot sizes larger.

Baldwin operates Big Maple Motel and Trailer Court. He said that the government campsites charge less than commercial facilities and do not have showers, nor flush toilets as commercial camps are required to have. Along similar lines, Jack Mercer spoke out against the (policy of government wharfs which aire almost a freo serylce while marinas must charge higher feea. pag* 7 AN ANNUAL International Folk Festival is planned March 4. Sponsored by the Sunshine Coast Arts Council such' ethnic groups will be represented as: Filipinos, Tahltlans, Scottish, Mexicans and PollBh dancers.

Organizers anticipate thot more than 100 dancers will participate, The even will start at 2 p.m. March 4 at Elphinstone High School. GROUP of Sunshine Coast senior citizens is optimistic that the health and welfare department will approve an $8,000 grant to fund their New Horizons vocational assistance group. Project director Jack Elliott of Garden Bay outlined the aims of the group ' when they first applied for federal funding in October, 1972. ' "We plan on having a hobbie shop where we will make cabinets, furniture, turned lathe'work and leather work," he said. Local school children would be invited to observe and gain experience in the various crafts, giving them training not normally available in school Group members recently met with a lawyer representing the health and welfare department, and he gave a strong indication that their grant would be approved. "He seemed to have no objection to the amount of money we ore seeking," reported Warren Hartley, one of the founders of the project. In a brief meeting, the representative "Seemed to approve everything," and he will now make his recommendations to the health and welfare department, which operates the New Horizons grant program. Hartley Bald they were given no indication of when the money might be made available, but he was optimistic "the project would be set rolling in the near future. New' Horizons vocational assistance group was the brainchild of nine Pender Harbour-area citizens, who felt their experience might be of value to the younger generation. With 523 years of experience be tween them, the group hopes to pass on knowledge in a wide variety of subjects from electronics to cabinet-making. Pension plan officer due A FIELD officer for the Canada Pension Plan will appear at the social welfarfc office in Sechelt on the morning of Feb. 26, according to M. G. Matthews, district manager, Health and Welfare, Canada Pension Plan. Anyone wishing to see him for assistance or information may do so by phone or in person, he said. Matthews told The Times that this will be the first of a series of monthly visits for a number of months. He said that if it appears the area warrants it, the agency many establish a regular itinerant service. i-..7'-:;.,."'J "The Sunshine Coast area Is growing in much the same manner as other parts of B.C. and demands for service (are Increasing. We are anxious to bring oury services to the people on a more or less regular basis as soon as it can be determined this Is a feasible move.** He said that his office had been making irregular visits to the area. "In some instances, we can negotiate Canada Pension Plan applications by mall while others require visits to homes, This usually applies where the applicant ia a disabled person," ho said. ;-7r"- !��� ''I library concept isthlno; of past . . ; . .. Circulation headquarters School resource centre flourishes OLD concept of a school library has gone by tho boards in Sechelt School District. In Its place, a district "resource centre" makes available to students a comprehensive and growing collection of not only books, but films, demonstration models, records and a host of other audio/ ' Visual learning aids. District librarian Allan J. Crane outlined the 'function of hln library /resource centre In n recent report to the school board. "First and foremost, It Is the storage, ��� servicing and circulation centre for the district's collection of resource material. It is also the central agency for materials borrowed from outajde agencies, predominantly the National Film Board of Canada, although schools do borrow some materials independently ��� particularly form the department of education's audiovisual services branch." In addition to Its role as a resource centre, the library services and maintains the book collections In Langdale, Madeira Park and Roberts Creek elementary schools and the circulating collection that, serves Bowen Island, Davis Ray, Egmont and Halfmoon Bay elementary schools, EQUIPMENT CIRCULATION "The district library continues to circulate equipment an required," sold Crane. "A 16 mm projector, phonograph and tape recorder," among them. "A tachlotlscope (controlled reader) circulates on a scheduled basis to tho elementary schools with tho exception of Gibsons and Sechelt schools, which have their own." Nino microscopes are also available to schools on request, although Crane feels thin number Is far short of adequate. Present book collections at Langdale, Madeira Parle and Roberts Creek schools each top the 2,400 mark, excluding paperbacks and expensive hard-cover titles. N The circulating collection serving more isolated schools comprises 1,600 volumes. Crane reported. "A major undertaking In the district library this yoar was an Inventory con- w ��� < ducted for this circulating section. It was necessary to call in tho books from ono school at a time, beginning with Davis Bay, where 120 of tho new additions to the circulating collection were placed to suffice until such time as It was possible to mako up a reooonablo number by rotating books which had been at other schools." Crane Bald that 160 volumes wero added to this circulating collection In 1072- 73 at a cost of $0(10. BOOKS REPAIRED Many volumes which would normally be, discarded because of poor condition are saved each year by painstaking repair work at the district library, In the 1072-73 period, almost 300 books were repaired, said Crane. Twenty expensive reference books were Bent away for rcblndlng^ saving the cost of replacement. "Our film library ia tho embryonic stage, Crano told The Times. "At, tho present time, wo have 32 films covering u ,\ a wide variety of subject mattcr^-from stearics and legends to salcntifk and) social studlcn topics." He predicted their 10 mm film col- < lection should exceed 100 titles by 1076. "A major weeding of fllmstrlps and picture eels has befn undertaken since the last annual report," he told the school board. "Over 200 fllmstrlps hove becli discarded frtom tho district's collection Including a number of duplicates and a largo - number of fllmstrlps which were out of date." , A list of discarded material was sent to, local schools, he explained, and many wore requested by schools for their libraries. "The major portion of the/ budget for nudJo-visiinl material, has [been spent on upgrading the district's collection of 1(1 mm films. Thirteen new titles were added during the fiscal year ending Dec. 5)1, 1072."

We'll wo* teiliiolci news RECENTLY The; Times carried an article about an old age pensioner being fined and having her driver's licence suspended for impaired driving. There have been calls to.the editor and one letter about this particular incident. As well meaning as the people seem they are merely prolonging the embarrassment of the person involved. The times has been- taken,to task for givihg undue publicity to an old age pensioner who was fined for impaired ' driving. . Now 99 per cent of the old age pensioners living on the Sunshine- Coast are upright citizens and no country, more than Canada owes a debt to the present generation or pensioners who have guided us through two world wars, depressions, good times and bad times, and who have generally kept a steady hand on the tiller: Canada is in its very enviable position in the world today because of these people. However, when a person appears in court charged with impaired driving, regardless of whether he is a minor, a highly regarded civic official or an old age pensioner, they will be treated the same. ���. The Times has gone on record in this regard many times���impaired drivers < will not be kept out of the news columns. Pensioners, whom we look to for guidance and wisdom, should be fully ' aware of the consequences of impaired driving. The Times did not bring out the fact that the person involved in this case was an old age pensioner���the court, did. The Times did not set the fine ���the court did. The pensioner took a breathalyzer test and received a reading of .17���more than double the reading usually considered impaired. There is another aspect to be considered in thjs case. Persons who are advancing iC ytears v are not quite as alert as they were 20 years ago. Their eyesight is not what it was nor is their hearing. They need all their senses to cope with present traffic conditions which can be difficult at the best of times. Take a person who is advanced in years and who has been drinking and who is driving a car with a fogged-up windshield (which was brought out in the court appearance) and you have a very dangerous driver. To the end of November (latest figures available) there were 625 .deaths Caused by motor vehicle accident in the province, according to- the Britisht} CoK umbia Safety Council. Figures have indicated that more than half of all accidental highway deaths can be attributed directly to alcohol. Fortunately there was.no accident, injury or death involved in the instance v in question. What would these people, who are~ * so critical of The Times for publishing 1 this news, say if there had been a death? How many would have rallied around the person in question then? No, in spite of pressures, The Times will continue to run court news-and will not hold back any names of persons convicted of impaired driving. It is simply too serious an offence to just shrug off. Consider what Philip J: Farmer, executive director. of the Canada Safety Council said about" drinking drivers at the Alcohol Counter-measures Campaign in Regina last month.'' "Traffic accidents alone account for more than 5,500 deaths, and 193,000 injuries annually in Canada. "Although accurate information on the role of alcohol in home, occupational and recreational accidents is not available, the effect of alcohol on traffic ac- , cidents has been scientifically well documented. ' ' "There is," continued Farmer, "an increasing amount of evidence implicating alcohol consumption as a major cause of traffic accidents, deaths and injuries. This applies to Canada as well as other countries. Most studies on this subject have indicated that 50 to 60 per cent of all fatal motor vehicle accidents are related to alcohol consumption. "A review of fatal accidents in Saskatchewan in 1971 involving driver deaths, indicated 57.6 per cent of the dead drivers tested for alcohol had been drinking; 91.4 per -cent of these hadv blood alcohol concentrations of .10 per cent or more and as you are'aware, were above the legal limit. We know,, of course, that most people are impaired below the legal limit of .08 per cent blood alcohol. Evidence indicates that, in general, as blood alcohol levels increase over .04 per cent, accidents become more frequent and severed "For example, one survey indicates that at .08 per cent blood alcohol level, a driver is five times more likely to be involved in an accident and at .5 per cent blood alcohol level, 25 times more likely." What cart be done to overcome the problem? Farmer asks. ���He suggests tougher laws and stricter enforcement coupled with a more vigorous rehabilitation program for prob- ��� lem drinkers and���note this very carefully���a continuing program .���'. blPpuhlftQ inf��; formation and education. : < 7 This is what The Times is trying to do. y**if; ���'F;7 ������/:���: mm Ae\ f ?a*L\ j sT? *",Eul?J5BW Tbe Rhyming Philosopher Wednesdoy, Februory 21, 1973 ���^ =��� w r READERS'RIGHT Letters to the Editor.are the opinions of readers, and not necessarily those of The Times.

The Elphinstone Cougars are,-to my estimation, the greatest example, of teamwork and sportsmanship that has been my pleasure to see and enjoy. Since this team has now progressed to the enviable plateau of the tri-zone finals with the definite possibility of going to the provincial finals, it would seem an opportune time for our entire community to support these boys morally and financially. It can be appreciated that individually they have spent considerable of their own funds to reach the level they have so well earned. Nothing, I am sure, would give them the added encouragement- to go on to ultimate victory than the certain knowledge that we are all behind^ them to the limit. So, tc��allo��,you fellows, the two finest coaches and certainly the cheer team which is absolutely great, all good fortune at the tri-zone in Vancouver.

His telephone call to the White House opposing the trans-Alaska oil pipeline was a futile act. He is going over the head of a senior government whose duty it is to make representations and to arrange meetings on a federal level. As far as the. White House is concerned, Dave Barrett is just a backwater politician and a socialist at that. Barrett knows that Nixon and members of his cabinet would not make any meeting through him. It would properly be made through the Canadian federal government. It is interesting to note that Barrett telephoned the White House and merely sent a telegram to Prime Minister Tru- dcait after the fact telling him what he did. Barrett had the audacity to invite the federal government to accompany B.C. to a requested meeting in Washington, D.C. ��� The premier apparently spoke to a third-rate White House aide who would only carry a message to one of his superiors and it would filter up and finally land on a second-rate aide's : desk. No, Dave Barret can't be that stupid to think that he has any weight with the White House. We can only assume that he is grandstanding. An interesting conjecture would be that if President Nixon and the congress go against Barrett's wishes in regards to the pipeline, will they, like Environment Minister Jack Davis, be persnoa non grata in Victoria? Pretty soon Dave Barrett will be able to say, along with that other well- known stand-up comedian, Mort Saul: "Is there anybody there that I haven't offended?" Don9t confuse publicity with news ANY Community newspaper's acutely aware that, while it is stfbject to criticism, it does get a lpt Which is unjustified, and which it does no*t deserve. And seldom, when the criticism is Voiced, is there anyone around with a knowledge of the facts or who will stand up on two hind legs nnd put in a word of defence for the newspaper. In this editorial wc shall try to present some of the facts of life as they apply in community newspaper relationships, in the hope that an understanding -of tho relationships will smooth out some of the rough spots. \ On oft-heard complaint is one claiming that ono organization gets more publicity than another., The Times does not favor any organization over another, all things being equal, put deals with "publicity" oir "news" on its interest to the community. An organization with 400 members obviously is of wider interest than one of 40 members. At the same time, both are of interest to our readers, nnd we're willing to help, But far more Important Is the obli- NOTICE Ponder Harbour - Egmont Arco For Insurance of oil kinds Phone your Resident Agon? JOHN SHEEN LTD. 883-2794 (24 hours) gation of organizations to help us to help them. The organizations which seem to get more publicity than others are organizations which have an on- thc- ball publicity chairman. It is financially impossible for this (or any other), news- . paper to maintain on staff enough reporters and photographers to cover every meeting of every group in town. Staff efforts must be confined to tho larger public meetings, municipal council, nnd-the like. We depend on other organizations to bring us their reports, nnd wc assure you wc shall find space for matters of general interest. But meandering reports arc not in themselves news; they must be edited down to tho menty points to meet space restrictions. This is where a good publicity chairman comes in ... he will present meaningful, newsy reports to the pajicr. When ��n organization docs this, it will get as much publicity as the next one. Self-help is the key, But do not confuse ''publicity" with "news." "Publicity" is n story about something that is yet to happen. News" is the story of what has already taken place. Thus, while the upcoming annual spring ton of the neighborhood horseshoe club may bo of passionate Interest to the members involved, It is of little or, no interest to those outside the club. Hence, any advance "publicity" is nothing more than free advertising. Advertising space is what The Times has to sell; wc cannot live if we give it away. Its been heard before? Editor, The ,Times, . Sir: When one. reads our MLA's, Mr. Don Lockstead's "contribution" to -4he throne debate one gets the. funny feeling of having heard it all before.. As a matter rOfciacWl am^illing tip, swear* thlF!TE?Is J �����" ���MoneiofjMrs.;Dtfwson's"old7speeches; MTi*^\V Lockstead has found and dusted off.\- "'' But then of course nothing else^ftas changed in this constituency since the new government took over, so why change a perfectly good speech. We still \ have all the potholes from Mrs. Dawson's time plus a few new ones. The ferry is still displaying its perpetual rhubarb pie a la Dawson. While other ferries can serve 20 different _ kinds of omelets on "real" china arid with "real" stainless cultery, we are "served" on paper -plates and plastic cups, which is adding to our ecological problems. The value of one or more dishwashing jobs should not be forgotten in a province which" can "boast" one of1 the highest unemployment percentages in the World. It is still "technically impossible" to install an elevator on our ferry, leaving many paraplegics and elderly people to the cardeck's fire trap. The only "new" thing I detected in Mr. Lockstead's speech was that he thinks that the people of B.C. need a Bill of ��� Rights. As usual Mr, Lockstead turns the problem upside down. We, the people of B.C. do not need a Bill of Rights ���we already have the right; what we need, is a bill to keep politicians from interfering. We need a bill to limit the politicians privileges to dip into the till and help themselves ���to a raise in wages the moment they aro elected, We need an independent committee to set the wages for tho ministers and , the MLAs and then tie all wages, pensions and social benefits to the cost-of- living index. 1 It is simply Immoral that politicians have the audacity to raise their own wages from $10,000 to $24,000 annually plus pay for committee work plus freo travel plus subsidized food in the legislature plus secretarial and research help plus a handy pension plan. These "socialists" think that a "backbencher's" work is worth $24,000 while they allow a fol- lowman, unfortunate enough to be on welfare to starve on $1,200 annually or an old ago pensioner to survive on $2,400. I always thought that democratic socialism as accepted by NDP, stood for freedom, equality and brotherhood. Some Equality! Some Brothers! JOHN PEDERSEN ^ Box 0(14, Sechelt. 005-9002 in writing up this news item. Surely there must be more interesting and worthwhile things to write about than an old age pensioner who was impaired.

Mrs. Evn Pilling was raised in Gibsons,,, attended Hchool there and is a descendant of one of' the early Flnnlah , families of the area, Oyer the years few people have contributed Indirectly more to "the community than Mrs. Pilling.

The purpose of using the LIP for this district; was to give assistance where possible in areas x of specific disabilities under the | direction of the classroom teacher: "District Superintendent Hanna stated that to the best of his knowledge ihe teachers* to whom the aides had been assigned were quite happy with the arrangement but the dispute over the aides originated with the local teachers' executive and a recent change in B.C. Teachers Federation policy. , "The board's concern is that the .��� real victims are the students who would benefit from having aides in Gibsons Elementary, even for the five month's duration of the program, and they are hopeful that the majority of teachers on the staff who support the experiment will exert some influence to make it worthwhile." Sechelt Teachers' Association presented a press release to The Times and requested that it be published as written without change or alteration. The release, said <��� Doris Fuller, secretary of the STA, "is made at the request of the membership of the Sechelt Teachers'. Association." It follows, without alteration: "Children with learning disabilities require specialized help and attention and the Sechelt Teachers' Association is confident of the support of parents who would not favor their children being taught by teacher aides. "During the past five years the ' Sechelt Teachers' Association (BC- TF) has supported the use of teacher aides in the schools, and has expressed this support publicly and to the school board. However, the teachers feel their responsibility to the children of this district and, therefore, the Association guided by BCTF policy does not sanction the use of teacher aides to be used as teachers in the classroom. "There has been alarm expressed by teachers and parents alike over the growing numbers of children with learning disabilities in this school ^ district. Many of these problems can be traced to the large class sizes, especially^, at the primary level, where the children's individual needs cannot be met. The STA (BCTF) has consistently petitioned the school board to hire more qualified teachers vto help alleviate this situation since the minister of education had made funds' available to sdiool districts for^* this purpose, but the board appeared reluctant tb request provincial' 7 help. Other school boards throughout >vthe province had applied for, and received, such funds and at no cost to the taxpayers. . , "The Local Initiatives Program (LIP) grant to .the school district cannot be used to hire teachers, and funds for this purpose must come from the provincial government. The STA is not opposed to the LIP grant being used in this school district to hire teacher aides, but the need for teacher aides is separate from the need for fully qualified and specialized teachers in the classroom. "The Sechelt Teachers' Association deplores the lack of communication between themselves and the community and would welcome the re- establishment of such contact. It is felt that had such communication existed, the vicious and libelous attack upon teachers in last week's Gibsons press could not and would not have occurred. \ ��� \-�� & Sechelt News Notes A MISCELLANEOUS shower was held - Feb.���12-at the home of Mrs. Lyrni- Dickson of Davis Bay, for her sister, Miss TerryrKoch.

We were shocked to| hear^of the death of Mrs. Rugge, who at our last meeting was looking forward to her trip to, Africa. Mr. Scott introduced new members: Mrs. Cathcart, Mr. McNeill, Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Reed. 1 Mr. Scottlrepeated his plea for clear speaking from the, floor. Then laid down a basic'''rule; He asks that suggestions be_ presented in motion form. After this has -heenLseconded the motion can be discus- sed,',. .with members speaking for or against the motion before the question is put. The mover may, if he wishes, speak twice to .the motion-once in presenting it, and again after other members have been heard. Reports from , committees were heard and discussed. Mrs. Evans stated there are at present two members in hospital: Mrs. Davidson and Mrs. Gibson. Mns. Edmonds thanked members for the many cards and visits she received from members during her long stay. in hospital. Mr. Hayward announced a tour to Eaton's new store on Wednesday,- Feb. 28.

Speaking of a request from Mrs. Jeffries that our organization back her proposal to set up an educational council in Sechelt, Mr. Scott emphasized that under no conditions can we act on any request not presented in writing. After establishing officially that Brnnch 09 is the sponsor of Tho Senior Swingers Old Time Dance Club, authorization was granted by the organizaion to Mr. Scott and Mr. Hayward to draw on tho Now Horizons grant for expenses in operating tho club. M. L Wagner than half an hour outside the halL waiting for someone to turn up yrith the key, asked that some positive arrangement be made so that the hall can be opened by 12:30. It was decided that the best solution to our problem would be to have a member who lives in the vicinity take the responsibility for opening on ouf meeting days. Mr, Coffey volunteered for that job. Perhaps he can ravel out the mystery of the KEY>. which sometimes is hot in that drawer where it should be. ���-JMrs^Mitcljell has found it necessary to resign as corresponding secretary. As no., one vovlunteered for-the position, Mr. Hanson said he will carry on for the present without an assistant. Mr. Scott asked for a volunteer for pubUoity.

Halfmoon Bay Happenings -THIS week's film show on Thursday at 7:30. p.m, at the Welcome, Beach Hall offers a 50-minute feature film "Death of a Legend" which is the story of the wolf and the danger of the extinction of ' an anhnal that helps maintain the balance of nature. The film shows something of the strategies and organization of the wolf pack. ^ Another fine wildlife film is "Above the Timberli��e" picturing Alpine meadows and the rugged peaks where only the big horn sheep can survive. There is a short film about Haida - carvings and another on the Banff School of Fine Arts.' ~ Halfmoon Bay Recreation Commission held its annual general meeting at the Welcome Beach Hall Feb. 14 with president Peggy Connor in the chair. In.her report of the year's activities, Mrs. Connor said her -commission had faced a challenge in providing- recreation for teenagers*jand for 36 boys and girls ranging in ages from 12 down to the, youngest toddlers. * Programs had included films, an, Easter Egg hunt, a swimming party and a Christmas party for the children. For the teenagers there had been bowling, a beach party and a smorgasbord dinner. An attempt to arrange film shows for the teenagers had had to be abandoned owing to the difficulty in finding suitable films. There had been no Halloween party last year but; the commission recommended/'' that this be restored to future programs. The commission Jjad also acquired a . swimming float which had been built by students of Pender High under the direction of Bruno Dombroski. Considerable correspondence had been undertaken regarding the acquisition of Cooper's Green as a people's. park and the commission was still hoping for a favorable reply. .Mrs. Connor-expressed thanks to Morgan Thompson for his unfailing help at Christmas parties, to Keith Comyn who "had given time to serve as projectionist, and to the children who rtade it all a fun job. If these are our fyopes for the future, she said, our future has a hope. Officers elected for the coming year are chairman, Barbara Laakso, secretary- treasurer, Beth Shaw, committee": Lynne Jorgensen, Jean Trousdell, Judy Parish, Ann Hansen, Ronnie Dunn and Carson Doyle. Mrs. Connor then introduced Bob Sharpe and Bill Morton, two of a group of UBC students at the School of Community and Regional Planning, who are carrying out a research, with the approval of the regional board, to discover. how residents want this area to develop. This project is part of their post-graduate studies and will result.in a plan for future development of. the area. Two other students Jim'Johnstone and Roger Wilkes ' working on the same project, attended a meeting of the executive of Area B Ratepayers' Association held at the Tarn , London home on Feb. 11. Both meetings took the form of open discussion and the.following were among the subjects considered: ^^^jsttoj^g.J ;���';/;; _ ;, ..Wafer was considered to "be No."l priority. A suggestion was made that all lots should be fully serviced before they were sold. GROWTH OR NON-GROWTH Therie was a general opinion that many people had come to the Sunshine Coast to enjoy the rural setting, fresh clean air and unpolluted waters and did not want to see the area become a dormitory of Vancouver. Growth, it was felt, should be controlled by careful zoning and minimum-sized lots. It was suggested that some clean secondary industries might be accommodated to give job opportunities. OPEN SPACES It Was considered that at the present stage of development, it would be wise to establish areas for parks, picnic sites and rest stops which should be clearly marked. Access to the sea was Considered of major importance with so many homes being developed on back lots. Lane allowances were unmarked and in many cases inaccessible. Both meetings were generally in favor of the acquisition of Cooper's Green for a public park but it was pointed out that such a park could develop into something we would rather not have unless there was provision made for proper supervision. HIGHWAYS There were mixed' opinions about highways, some residents suggesting that ���by Mary Tinkler the present roads were adequate providing they were properly maintained. Others felt that, an alternative route for a highway would be essential at some, stage, but it was suggested that- the route should be established "now, to prevent development and the- building of homes on land which would be required for a highway in av few years. * POLLUTION There was strong criticism about pollution from boats in the Secret Cove area during the summer months and it was felt that the suggested foreshore lease to the Vancouver Yacht Club would aggravate the problem. EDUCATION Opinions were expressed that the area needed a high school in, a central position. Students at the northern end of the Peninsula were unable to get the courses needed for university entrance and there was no school transportation Which would enable them to get to Elphinstone for their courses. Mr. and -Mrs. John Grognet jure^home in Welcome Woods after ^a-"holidayr in Trailer Village, Mesa,-^Arizona, where they enjoyed the^sunshine and low food, prices. They^found a busy social life at, the village, - with movies, garden club, hula class, bridge games, golf, bowling and expeditions for the rock hound. There were classes in Spanish -- conversation, photography and various forms of painting, and for dancers there was the choice of square, tap or ballroom. Mrs,' Dorothy Greene was in Powell River last week for a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Jack Stamford who were very old friends of. the late Canon Alan Greene. They were married by him on board the Columbia Coast Mission ship 46 years ago. Guests of the Bob Wick- wires are Jim Williams and his family from Cottage .Grove, Oregon. Mr. and Mrs. Norman Belanger and their family have moved to Wilson Creek. It was a very happy and lively evening at the Welcome Beach Hall last Saturday with a good crowd turning out. Members were delighted to welcome back Jim and Sue Browning after Jim's long illness, and Alice -Young after her stay in St. Mary's Hospital. Guy Clear showed some of his fine collection of- slides including pictures of Yellowstone, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, Zion and Yosemite national parks. There were excellent studies of the Mormon Temple at Salt Lake City and the International Peace Gardens where-various- countries have one-eighth of an acre rage 6 , - -I The Peninsula Times Wednesday, February 21,1973 7 ^ < 77 \ ���_ to cultivate in their own particular styles. There followed a friendly , bingoJ with prizes donated by Mrs. .Clear and-the Ladies' Auxiliary. Mrs. Ruby Hatcher did her usual fine job at the piano and the evening finished up with a spontaneous sing-song. When it came to refreshment time, the tables' were decorated with big red valentine hearts. Prizes were won, by Vince Shannon' and Jean Petit for having the lucky number of hearts. In last week's carpet bowling, it was the Green Hornets whose faces were red, for tha-Red Devils won every game! It is expected that todayjs match at the Welcome Beach Hall at 1:30 p.m. will -be bitterly contested, New residents of the Helmer home on Trout'Lake Road are Beth and Art Shaw with their 13 months old baby, Robin, The Shaws arrived on the coast from Edmonton four months ago and Mrs, ' Shaw is working as a substitute teacher.

Mexican holiday e e Beach at Chapala reminds one of the French Riviera (MEXICO-PART H) Br Mary TinUfty IN .LAST week's article on Mexico, I wrote about the Mexican village of San Antonio on Lake Chapala where I spent my holiday and the adjacent village of Ajijic. This week I would like to tell you about the town of Chapala, three miles east of San Antonio and the city of Guadalajara, 35 inUesMo the north. Chapala is a beach resort popular with vacationers. Along a stretch of sandy beach, where you:might imagine yourself on the Freach Riviera,,there is a mile- long promenade yrtth palm ties' anet. geraniums. Beside the promenade is a beer garden with tables with red and white umbrellas overflowing on to the beach. Here one can sit and sip beer or tequila, or eat a full course dinner while watching the busy life of the waterfront. As you eat, you can be serenaded by a mariachi band, but be sure to agree on a fee for this service. The price is usually one peso per man per song and there are usually 10 men in the band. Pleasure boats are tied up at the pier for hire for a trip across the lake, or to Scorpion Island or Prison Island, with its grim buildings bearing traces of the turbulent history of Mexico. Along the , pier are stalls where many attractive Mexican articles can be bought at reasonable prices, but here a little bargaining usually, pays off. There is jewellery of silver and onyx, hand painted bowls and dishes, ponchos, sarapes, leather goods and pottery. MANY VEGETABLES Back in the town ia the usual Mexican market where you can see more types of vegetables than you even suspected existed. There are stall of meat, baskets, pottery and, penned in cages, a few pathetic looking chickens which are butchered on the spot when ordered, There are also, two or three American type stores where you can buy your beer, wine, tequila and whisky while you get the family groceries. The plaza in Chapala is called Gringo Square, gringo being the name Mexicans apply to oil English speaking people. There is a large settlement of Americans and Canadians living In Chapala and for them it ia a home away from home for they have their Chapala Society, a yacht club and a country club with a nine-hole golf course. D, H. Lawrence was tho first foreign resident of Chapala and Tennessee Williams is reputed to have written "Street Car Named Desire" while a resident there. Chapala offers good hotels and restaurants and it has an exclusive lakeside club, Villa Montecarlo, Guadalajara is the capital of Jalisco and the second largest city in Mexico, with a population of over one million, ft has an elevation of 5,200 feet which keeps the climate pleasant year around. It is famous for its beautiful women of Spanish descent, and it is the traditional - .home of the marlachis. The city was foiuided in the year 1542 and has some interesting old buildings. The cathedral was started in 1571 and,is a hodgepodge of architectural styles, including Gothic, classic, Moorish and Byzantine. The Government Palace which dates' from 1643, contains some of the murals of Jose Cle- mente Orozco. The municipal palace, a modern building, has a famous mural by Gabriel Flores depicting the evils of war. This is the place where you go to retrieve your front licence plate for 80 cents when Jt has .been taken from your car by. a. pc4ic^mah; for illegal parking. ���.? MAGNIFICENT THEATRE The Teatro Degollado is a magnificent building in the classic style. It seats 3,000 people arid has five viewing levels. Every Sunday at noon, the theatre is packed with Americans and Canadians when the Grupo Folklorico, students at the University of Guadalajara present their performance of songs and dances of Mexico. Their program includes the music of Jalisco, Yacatan, Tamaulipas, Vera Cruz and Puerto Rico, and, it is certainly something which' no tourist should miss. Sparkling with life and color, it is o feast for the eye and the ear. The performance I saw included two famous Mexican dances, the Mexican Hat Dance and Las Alazanas which was a rainbow of color with the full skirted dresses of every hue, swirling and cascading against a bold and colorful backdrop. There was some excellent singing, music by a mariachi band and brilliant choreography by the director,. Rafael Zamar- ripa. SHRINE OF GUADALUPE Church of the Virgin of Zapopan is the shrine of Guadalupe, the religious' patroness of Guadalajara. The tiny figure of the Virgin which is -usually housed over the altar, was originally brought to' Guadalajara by a Franciscan monk in the early 16th century. Each June it is taken on a visiting -tour of the churches t of Guadalajara in a brand new automo-' bile purchased specially for the occasion. The conveyance is never driven while: registered in the name of Guadalupe but is dragged through the streets by her' Worshippers. The return ot Zapopan in early October provides an occasion for a'! fiesta. During my visit to the church, X saw several women enter the "church and approach the step of the altar for the. Whole length of the aisle on their knees.' Another must for the visitor to Guadalajara is the Mercado Libertad���Liberty" Market. It covers an area of three square < blocks and is packed with stalls offering for sale everything . under the Mexican sun. Here you can haggle for your merchandise, being quite dure that the sellers, seeing a gringo coming, will have' marked up the price considerably. Here you will see everything you ever heard . or read about Mexican markets, including lottery ticket sellers and letter writers ready to fill in forms or write busi-' ness or love letters for the clients. There, are all kinds of ready to eat foods such as tacos, ..tortillas, fried pigskin, sugar cane etc. El Mercado Libertad is something which must be seen to be believed.., ' Probably the best way to see this fascinating city which has an atmosphere all its own, is to drive around in one of the calandrias which are for hire at a few pesos ah hour, These ancient horse- drawn buggies were once the carriages of the wealthy. (To Be Concluded) trict's collection of resource material. -During the first term, of the. new school year,' these have been in great demand," said, Crane,, '���The teachers' pydfessflonsjl - library, numbering some 261 volumes, is also housed in the district library. This collection has been developed over the years with funds allocated for the purpose by the Sechelt Teachers* Association." Most time-consuming of his duties, Crane told the board, vtas preparation ot catalogue cards for ihe audio-visual files. ~ "This involves thorough examination of the materials in order to ascertain subject areas and grade suitability." Use of the districts resource materials fluctuates from day to day, said Crane, with as many as 80 items! being circulated on peak days. (/ "On average, the daily circulation is in the region of 15 items." All National Film Board films are borrowed through the district library. "During the first three months of the new school year, 91 fihns have been circulated in this manner." -Effectively used resource materials can add immeasurably' to the education process, said Crane, and stressed the Importance of in-service "resource centre orientation" for teachers. PROMOTION IMPORTANT "Vigorous promotion of the . district collection of resource materials' is, therefore, a continuing task at the district library." Concluding his report to the school board, Crane said: "I think the district's collection of resource material is developing satisfactorily. I hope that it will continue ,to do so and that more use will be made of it as teachers, through in-service training, become more.aware of the value' of non-print media in their classrooms and of the scope of materials available to them." Crane is the third district librarian, since, establishment of the unit in 1964. Previous 'to' that, he taught in his native England, at Langdale Elementary, and served-as ,|jart time librarian for Sechelt and Roberts Creek schools. A firm believer in the value of audiovisual material, he predicts increasing use of the library's facilities by community groups. x . "While there has been some use by various community groups of the district's resource ihaterials (eg Lions, Kinsmen, Wilson Creek Scout group), it must- be remembered that these resources have been developed to serve educational needs and its funding comes from school taxes. "If, therefore, the school district's resource centre is ever to double as a community film library or resource centre, there will, be matters of additional capital outlay and extra staffing to be settled." He said, however, that this possibility "is being explored." - The Peninsula Times * Page1 7 Wednesday, February 21,1973 ,i ' ' v ' * ' , it Dental Topics A WINNING.smile makes friends, hut then, so does a crooked one. A child's smile, even though showing only its first tooth gladdens the hearts of mothers and onlookers alike. How would this smile affect you if the child, now grown to adulthood shows only one tooth? If you want your child to retain its winning' smile start now. Teeth are one part of the human body that cannot heal or repair .themselves. It is''therefore vital to protect them. Begin as soon- as the child r is old enough, about' two years, when the deciduous (baby) teeth have formed, Use a Soft brush, a little paste, and assist in ��� the technique. Allow self experimentation; it will cause no harm and give confidence. Don't worry should_the child swallow the toothpaste or rinse water, the learning process takes time and patience. Regular checkups arje vital. Care of primary, teeth may be even more important that later'care of the secondary teeth. Just as the learning process from, birth are the building block for the future so do primary teethj affect the growth ��� of the secondary. Premature loss in childhood, can result in major problems of malformed or crooked teeth in the permanent set. Initiative regular checkups with your' friendly neighborhood dentist. Why not make it a family affair? Keep smiling! ���Canadian Dental Association MORE ABOUT. .. ��� C oi C meeting ���from page 1 Members felt that the Peninsula must attract tourists to stay for more than a day or two. Lang said that there is enough at- ' traction to keep tourists here for a week or more. Baldwin said that 80 per'cent of his tourists stay less than two days. . As far as development of the1 Sunshine Coast goes, Lang said that there is so much to offer "the area has the potential for every type of tourist, let's develop things in the natural way." In the business portion of the meeting, the chamber will ask Coast Paving" what its intentions are in regards to the completion of the launching ramp at Porpoise Bay. The chamber received six bids on the tourist trailer and sold it for $500. John Thomas and Morgan Thompson spent some time cleaning out the newly purchased eight foot by 40 foot trailer. Sechelt chamber will donate $25 to the Sea Cavalcade poster committee. A letter of commendation will be written to George Flores for his hiring of a handicapped person. ' The next general meeting ' of the chamber will be held Feb. 28 at 7:30 p.m. with the place to be announced. s Fly past set , for Cavalcade A JET fly-past in this year's Sea Cavalcade, has been authorized by James' Tuiis information - was released by- Richardson, minister of national defence.'

DIVISION 28 Jnmlr MucPhcdrnn, 2.0, By ALASTAIR ROGERS HILLCREST subdivision - residents have protested a Gibsons village council proposal to take 40 feet off the bottom - of their lots without compensation and to zone the area commercial Council held a -meeting with residents Feb. 5 to discuss possible rezoning. The following Wednesday, an article appeared . in a Gibsons newspaper headlined, "Zon- ��� ing problem settled." -j Subsequently, Frank Sowerbutts, one of the householders concerned, contacted The Times and said the public had been misled. "The story was very misleading," he said. "It suggested that the matter had been settled, but this is very far-from true." Proposals submitted by planner Rob Buchan "were not accepted by everyone", he said, and in a vote held at the finish of the meeting, residents voted' 12 to 8 against any change in the present situation. Although the meeting was intended to sound out public opinion, residents claim council disregarded their opinions and the result of,their vote.,,, , ��� , t/ , "We -thought when we went up there - that there would be- discussion and- that council would be open to -suggestions," said Sowerbutts. "But we found out later that they didn't welcome-suggestions too warmly. They thought that their way was the only way." Municipal clerk-treasurer David Johnston said the lots concerned were longer than normal, and if 40 feet could be taken oifNthe bottom, an access road could be built to service lots presently inaccessible. "Some peopje have asked us for comr mercial zoning, and there is already some commercial development in the area," he said. Although residents would not be paid directly for loss of 40 feet of their property, Johnston said they would benefit from commercial zoning, which would raise the, value of their lots. Sowerbutts said that most of the people in the area were pensioners, and they intended staying on Hillcrest, "so they won't benefit from any increase in value. And they'll have to pay higher taxes. "What upset us most of all was thot council Intends taking 40 feet off our lots and nothing off the other side. Why not 20 feet off each, if they must do it?" Sowerbutts felt construction of a road to service back from the highway would benefit only real estate interests. 'They'll make money out of subdividing the lots, so they're trying to push it through." ��� He sold that if the area was zoned commercial, "they could build a glue factory right next to a residence, and we couldn't say anything about it." Another resident, Verdun Swinney, said that council would only take 40 teet, off his property, "over my dead body." "Forty feet is about one-sixth of my property, and it's worth around $4,000. "They say commercial zoning will put up its value, but we don't know that for < certain. If Mayor (Wally) Peterson will guarantee me $35,000 for my property after it's zoned commercial, I'll take it, but I don't think he'd do it." Swinney felt' "if they, built a' pizza shack next to my house, it would decrease the value of my home." Mrs. H. W. Maskell, a Hillcrest resident for eight years, said real estate developers wanted to take 40 feet from her property so they could subdivide the", lots behind and "make a fast dollar.", "This is our home and we like it as it is." ' She noted that her lot would be only 114 feet long if 40 feet was taken off, "and I can't see that being any use for a, commercial^ lot.

Mrs. Rugge, accompanied by her husband, had flown to England on Feb. 1 to visit relatives, in spite of the fact that her health' was not too good at the time. She was born 75 years ago in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire and, as a child, she played in Sherwood Forest, -made famous by the stories of Robin Hood. She married John Algar and they emigrated to Canada at the end of the First World War, settling in Montreal. After the death of her husband, she married Hal Rugge and they came, out to B.C. about 26 years ago and lived in Van- - couver, in the Okanagan and for several years in White Rock. They settled in their retirement home in Sechelt about three years ��� ago. One of Mrs. Rugge's chief interests was music. She had a pure soprano voice and loved to sing. She sang in the choir at White Rock and in Sechelt with the senior citizens' choir directed ��� by Mrs. Dorothy StockwelL ' Just before Christ- -mas, when she and her husband had returned from a world tour, she worked with this choir to entertain the patients of the extended-care unit of St. Mary's Hospital and for the Christmas dinner of the Senior Citizens' Association. She had courage and a fine attitude towards life and, in her short time in Sechelt, she made many friends and won the respect and affection of all who came to know her. Following the shock pf his wife's death, Mr. Rugge suffered a heart attack "Our neighbor's home is built near the end of her lot, and the road would run right through her bedroom." Sandy Wolansky said he had just ��� enough room to turn around in his lot at the moment "If they took 40 feet off it, I'd have nothing." In his property deed, he said, there was provision for a 15 foot road allowance. "But now, some guy says I have �� few days later and. is resting comfort to give 40 feet, .winch I'mTmot agree- hbly tt'Vl&mrdr? tiosp'ffafi'^' ��� ' '��� ing to." _L_ ,. _ , ._ All Hillcrest residents did not attend the meeting with council, but Wolansky felt those present represented a cross section of local opinion. ( ' "Some people who "would support re- zoning didn't attend, but so did a lot of people from our side," he said. ���'!-', Rezoning hearings are scheduled on the Hillcrest area in the hear future. In ' the nteantime, Sowerbutts told The ; Times he was going to circulate a petition opposing council's proposals. B.C.

(This Is tho concluding article of a four- part series on heart .disease to Inform - the public of the progress being made, to combat ibis twentieth century health has&rd.) " ���~- B* JOHN B. ARMSTRONG MD Canadian. Heart,Foundation , HIGH blood pressure is often de* . scribed as, a "silent"- killer because it has no characteristic symptoms and many people have it without being aware of the fact. It con also be described as a "mysterious'* killer because, far more than 90 percent of people with high blood pressure, the cause and the. cure are still unknown. : Why is one person's blood pressure higher than another's? Why is it more prevalent among' women than men? It may take years of research to answer these and other questions still baffling medical science. Meanwhile, awareness, early detection and treatment are the best medicines. A routine check-up can be the first step toward early detection and toward averting a heart attack or stroke���often the serious end- results of high blood pressure. The Canadian Heart Foundation estimates that nearly two million Canadians have high blood pressure and probably more than half of them don't know it. Of those who do, most aren't being treated adequately. This emphasizes the need for more research to find the underlying causes of high blood pressure. What has science learned-so far? ���The causes for 9 out of 10 cases of high blood pressure are still,unknown. 1 ���High blood pressure is a major contributor to stroke,' heart attack and kidney failure. ������High blood pressure occurs more frequently in women than men and it is more common among low income groups than the affluent ������High blood pressure can be detected by a simple test. Once diagnosed, it can be treated by your doctor. Treatment of even moderate hypertension can reduce the risk of stroke and heart and kidney failure. ���Too much salt in the daily diet can cause blood pressure to rise. ���Overweight, fatigue and undue stress can contribute to elevated blood pressure. ���A man whose blood pressure is over 150 has twice the risk of heart attack and four times the risk of stroke asone whose blood pressure is under 120. ' In addition, the death rate from high blood pressure in Canada in persons under 65 has been reduced by 79 percent since 1950. - Despite this progress, much more time and money will be required to solve the remaining. problems and the necessary funds will come, from the annual Heart Fund in February. Your generous support of your provincial Heart Foundation will help speed the day when high blood pressure , is no longer the "silent" or , "mysterious" killer. , J - ��� . ��� ' ' The Peninsula Times' Page �� , Wednesday, February 21, 1973 Roberts Greek ydulh goes on LSD mission REGULAR monthly meeting of the Roberts Creek Auxiliary to St. Mary's Hospital was heid Feb. 12, with a good attendance who -welcomed new member, Mrs. J.

Sometimes, trying to bluff your short-sighted way through a situation . ;can be rather trying. Lake the time we were dining in a particularly dark little German restaurant. I wanted to go to the ladies" room and asked where it was. My husband pointed towards a distant and obscure doorway. I groped .my way through the , smoke-filled room and open doorway only to be confronted with many moreJ[oors. I couldn't read any of their signs, so picked one at random. It was the kitchen. I tried to explain what I was looking for and did such a good job that my translation was immediately understood and they showed me to a telephone. I decided to play it cool and stand around 'til someone else left their table and headed for a washroom, then I'd follow. Twenty minutes later I decided the entire roomful of diners had extremely good bladders. Then the accordion .music began. A huge fellow in black leiderhosen whirled me onto the dance floor. I smiled through clenched teeth as we polkad past my husband and friends. After three dances I raced over to my husband's table, "Quick, take me to a service station," I blurted' j. But, it wasn't until after the garden experience that I began wearinr my glasses a bit more frequently, at least when outdoors. | I was working on our rock pile ,with the help of my youngest sop whose sole contribution to the effort was to ask me unlimited questions. |It didn't bother me much because all :I needed to do was answer with ar. [occasional yes or "uhm-hum" and jhe was happy to start the next barrage. At one point he said, "look jbig doggie" and I answered yes without as much as a glance. Then he [said it again anrj again placing much emphasis on the "big". I looked up. There indeed was the biggest black dog I'd ever seen! It was busily munching on some huckleberries which seemed odd fare for a ' member,of the canine world. Every po often it would look in our direction and then continue root i re g through the bushes. ! I contemplated investigating the animal at closer range, or perhaps, beating a trail into the house. But men I figured it probably was just a very large dog, so we finished our rock work before going inside to prepare dinner. ; When my husband got home from work at the newspaper office he said he'd had several calls that day from folks in our neighborhood reporting a large black bear. ' .' "I don't suppose you saw it though," he said, "you rarely step outside the door."

The Sechelt girls were much, smaller than our players but they hustled. This was a very close game and Pender girls , finally took the game 31-27. After the game the girls were entertained at lunch at the school. Sechelt girls played a return match yesterday at Pender. Brooks'senior girls basketballers paid our senior girls a visit Feb. 14. Pender girls - were to experienced for a. quick- moving Brooks team. At the end of the first quarter, the score was 19-4 for Pender.

High scorers for Pender were Deb Bathgate, 22 points and Daar- nell Geidck with 10 points capping a good -team effort.' lender boys travelled to Gibsons Feb. 15 for an exhibition game with an inters mediate Elphinstone boys team.

Elphinstone gave Pender a lesson in speed and tactics in a 60-28 win..Top scorer for Pender was Doug Barsalow with 14 points. It is expected that 'Pender will make a better game of it when Elphinstone makes a return visit on Thursday, Feb. 22. On Feb. 16 because of restricted travel expense, Howe Sound could not travel to Pender, so Pender junior boys played them at Elphinstone. -Penders boys showed that they had gained by their workout of the night before and come out fairly comfortable winners by 41-26. Top scorers for Pender were Doug Bursaloux, 18 and Jerry Mercer, 12. On Feb. 17, a sleepy Pender squad caught the first ferry to Powell Biver to visit Texada after a break of three years. Inexperience prevailed in the junior girls game and' an amazing game, including overtime ended in a 6-6 tie! Top Pender netters were Valerie Reid, 2, Sheila - Harris, 2 and Kelly Mair, 2. Junior boys played a small Texada team which fought very hard but was overcome 44-11. Tops fo% Pender were Mike Kammerle, 10, Kelly Basabath, 10 and Henry Sundquist, 10.

' POSTMASTER General Andre v Ouellet announced the Canada Post Office issue on March-9 of three stamps, in denominations of 8 cent, 10 cent and 15 cent, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Designs for the three stamps each recall a different aspect of the work'and tradition of the RCMP. Their initial trek across the western .frontier in 1874 is featured on the 8 cent stamp. The 10 cent stamp symbolically portrays the spectograph, an identification device used by the force in its crime detection laboratories where the most advanced techniques of police science are employed. The world-famous Musical Ride of the RCMP, which was first performed in 1876, is the subject of the 15 cent stamp. The force was established on May 23, 1973 as the North-West Mounted Police. The force's motto was "Uphold the Right" and its task was to do it throughout the 300,000 square miles of wilderness that comprised Canada's western frontier. "They were a unique body in an age when law and order followed rather than led the settlement of new frontiers", said Ouellet.- "When-settlers came to the Canadian West they found in the Northwest Mounted Police both an established law force to protect them and a knowledgeable ally to assist them in the rigors of frontier survival" In 1904 the force, became the Royal North-West Mount$dJPolice -and in 1920, when it absorbed a federal organization known as the Dominion Police, the combined force was renamed the Royal Canadian Monuted Police. Today the RCMP is responsible for national 'security and the enforcement of all federal laws throughout Canada. In the Northwest and Yukon Territories it is the only police force and in all provinces except Ontario and Quebec it is charged-with the enforcement fit all provincial, statutes as well.

Safe Motoring IN TRAFFIC safety circles there are terms in common use that, have been around a long time; One ot these is "Highway Hypnosis." Practitioners Uv highway safety have originated the term from the observation that people go to sleep at the wheel, most often when on a straight and monotonous stretch of highway. The observation has led to the suspicion that in some of the crashes that result, the cause' is the hypnotic-effect of some feature of the, highway or the environment, such as the regularity of the sections of the broken ^centre "line. The fact* that people- dp go to sleep while driving is indisputable, and the sleep-inducing effect of sensual perceptions that are rhythmic in character is well established. There is a question, however, whether the sleep that is induced by such perceptions is hypnotic or natural. In discussing, the matter with several - doctors of medicine who use hypnosis in their practice, considerable doubt has been expressed that when a person falls asleepebehind the wheel, such sleep can be hypnotic. The feeling seems to be that such sleep is more likely to be natural, even though brought on by stimuli "similar in character to those freque- ently "used to hypnotize patients. It has been pointed out that a person suffering from ordinary, fatigue is susceptible to rhythmic stimuli and may be lulled into steep quite readily, but that such sleep is more likely to be natural than hypnotic. But there is no certainty. The possibility of hypnotic sleep being a factor in traffic safety is a matter that should be thoroughly explored. If some of the design features of our roads, such as centre lines that are broken at a particular frequency, actually have the capability of hypnotizing drivers, then it is time researchers investigate just-how- this comes about and. then use that knowledge to effect changes. If the prer sent lengths of broken lines contribute to sleep, there is at least a possibility that shorter or longer lengths might contribute to keeping drivers awake. If gentle curves and moderate grades help to- prevent monotony and "that' tired feeling," then steps should be taken to put such knowledge to advantageous use. Statistics indicate that more than one- fourth of the traffic fatalities happen in "non-collision in the roadway" and "ran off the roadway" crashes. It is suspected that, a large percentage of these result from the driver going to sleep and .drifting off the road to the right. No one knows for certain how many of the "collision between motor-vehicles" deaths result from drivers going to sleep and drifting across the centre lira to the left and into the path of oncoming vehicles. It could well be that dozing drivers are a much more serious traffic safety prob- leni than is generally recognized. If the dozing, hypnotic or otherwise, is in tenth stimulated by present features of our highways and the environment, then investigation and corrective action are due.

As noted in the previous article, a major exception to the general rules of capital gains taxation is property held on Dec. 31, 1971. This property may have gains or losses accrued up to Dec. 31, 1971 for which the government does not intend to either impose tax or allow a deduction. However, the rules for property owned on Dec. 31, 1971 go further than this. The Income Tax Act states that the "cost" for capital gains tax pur- posesr*of assets held on Dec. 31, 1971 will be deemed to be an amount calculated .under either of two rules at the taxpayer's option. ^ _ < The first rule, which is certainly ffie easiest rule, is that all property (except depreciable property and partnership interests) held on Dec. 1,1971 may be valued at the valua- "on day value.

Should the tax free zone method be used, only gains on dispositions in excess of the greater of cost or valuation day value will be subject to tax and only losses on dispositions below the lesser of cost or valuation day value will be deductible. Where the proceeds of disposition fall within the tax-free zone fhere will toe no capital gain or loss for tax purposes.

Fori these assets, the government has issued a bookletl isting their value on. Dec. 22, 1971. For all other assets (e.g. U.S. securities, bonds, real estate, mutual funds and securities of private companies) the valuation day is Dec 31, 1971. Various investment dealers have compiled listings of some; of ���booklet listing their value, on Dec. ember 31,1971. v The first rule to remember is that if you elect to value assets oh the valuation day value you must do so for all assets (except depreciable property and partnership interests). You may not use the valuation day value election for some of your assets and the tax-free zone for other assets. If, however, you decide to use the valuation day value election, you must make the election at the time you file your iax return for the first year, In which you sell a capital asset. All taxpayers selling securities in 1972 will be required to make the election (if they wish to do so) by April 30, 1973.

As Gustave von Aschenbach paints his aging cheeks, and dyes , his graying x hair, all for the mad, impossible pursuit of a beautiful boy, the tale (from Thomas Mann's Stories of Three Decades dazzles with its . intimation^ of a whole society in the process., of dissolution. ' "It's a story Visconti once heard, "Bog- arde said. "I'm not sure whether it was from Mann himself, or from a member of the Mann family. At any rate, Mann is supposed to have divulged to someone that in 1911 he was coming, back from Venice on a train and with him' in the same compartment was this fifty-one-year old man with dyed hair, terrible makeup,, eyelashes falling off, absolutely hideous and , obviously in great, distress. Mann spoke to him - so the story goes - and learned he was Mahler, who said, "I've just come from Venice, and I've fallen in love with a boy of thirteen.' They went on to discuss it, and Mahler is supposed to have said that it wasn't the boy per se, but the beauty he represented. The boy. became the symbol for all that he'd lost - beauty, purity, innocence. "Visconti, therefore, is basing the film very lightly on an early 20th-century composer who could conceivably be Mah-"' ler, .and, perhaps more pertinent, this givekhim the opportunity to use Mahler's music throughout on the soundtrack. At the very end, I'm on the beach, watching the boy, who is about to leave plague- stricken Venice, and I'm composing, an unfinished Mahler symphony, I suppose." The film is in color and has English dialogue, although there is very little speech in the film., It is more a visual evocation of death: the death of the composer and of the city. By contrast, the hurly-burly of Tom Jones is very much alive in Tony Richard-, son's lively adaptation of the renowned Fielding novel. The costuming is sumptuous and the color photography luxurious. It is, a vigorous,' fast-moving and thoroughly entertaining film with Fielding's unforgettable characters admirably portrayed on the screen. The. restricted rating this film received in British Columbia (it was, of course, banned in Alberta) is,- perhaps, rather unfortunate since it does not reflect the swearing, brutality4 rating today. Rather it reflects a reaction and gross sexuality which result in such to Richardson's portrayal of Fielding's realistic and unsentiihental approach to life. * Certainly Tom is engaged in some bawdy adventures, but these only reinforce his credibility as a character.whose chief values in life are honesty and his true love for Sophia* Western. .
