VignaL The first general meeting of the Sunshine Coast Recreation Association will be held at Wilson Creek Community Hall Sunday, Dec. _'a. lp,m. Henry Hall, organizer and instigator of the association, said that the village of Sechelt will donate a site and apply / for federal' and provincial grants and commence construction of a recreation centre. The centre will be leased on a five-year basis to the association. The association, said Hall, must now firm up its finances by debenture sales and joining dues and forward a security deposit to the village. Die association, under its lease, will have'full operational control of the -erit_e,yoffering skating, hockey and curling to its membership. There will be two types of membership structure, said Hall:.'active debenture holding votfngViheinber- and associate non-debenture, .members. The one. time joining fee for both types of members will be $50; 'debentures will be, either $200 or $300 or".perhaps both to give: debenture holders their choice. The ^association, said Hall, by way of debenture- sales arid joining fees has set an initial' grial of $50,000. There are land set aside by the provincial-government for-use by the village. - - "The only stipulation in getting it is what we ^wteh to use it for. We have applied for 10 acres in West Porpoise Bay area, approximately", one mile from the post office, on.the southeast corner of this large area of approximately 300 acres. We hjave a report back on it that is favorable. There o is ho reason yiyhy we can't have this 10 acres. As to funding, our clerk has applied for both, the provincial and federal grants and are quite positive they will come through; As to the feeling.of cojawil.,we are unanimously in ajgire_ jfterit:with this proposal arid we wish it all the; best." Hall said that a $150,000 building would encompass 11,000 square feet about 65 feet in width and 18- feet in length. v \;;\.1%e'$2^({00\buiiaihg:'w:oU-cL'vinclude an official size skating rink, 85 feet wide and 200 feet long.

' They will tie held at Madeira Park Scho61 and'EaWuAstone Secondary School' commencing; at 8 pjn. Discussion is expected to focus on whether the present school system is meeting the needs of the community, school use of community resources and the public's role in decision-making within the school system. The community school concept probably will be a major topic, also. The meetings were called by the school board at the request of education minister Eileen Dailly, with the aim of sampling public opinion and passing on comments for evaluation to the education commission. Chairman of the Madeira Park meeting will be school board trustee Peter Prescesky. In Sechelt, trustee John MacLeod will preside. Both of these meetings will be held in the school activity rooms. Board chairman Agnes Labonte will officiate at the Gibsons meeting, which is slated for the school library.

But at provincial court Nov. 20, the crown entered a stay of proceedings. Judge Charles Mittlesteadt told Saigeon and Weatherill, the only accused to make an appearance, that this meant the case could be re-activated at any . time, "even two years from now." Under other court news, two parking offenders were dealt with Beverly in an attempt to deter illegal parking on Gibsons wharf. For his first offense, one violator netted a fine of $10. The second, who admitted a previous offense, was fined $25. Judge Mittlesteadt said that overtime parking on the wharf had become "quite a racket. Everybody Just parks there and pays t|ie $5 fine.

It would be a joint venture between the municipality arid the association.

DEC. 4, 1973 is a very special anniversary f<<r The Peninsula __m/e_< It marks the 10th' year of publication for our newspaper. On Dec. 4, 1963, The Sechelt Peninsula Times (which has since shortened its name) published its first newspaper which was dedicated to Ernie Parr-Pearson, who died in 1957. The first issues of The Times were in tabloid format* and remained that way through 1966. 'Great interest ��� shown iri municipal election, was the leading headline in 'the first newspaper arid it noted that 10 candidates were seeking four vacant seats in Gibsons jnunicipal election. Running for chairman (as the office of mayor was then known) were the incumbent, A. E. Ritchey and Capt. Wesley B. Hodgson. School trustee candidates were John Harvey, Mrs. Marvin Volen and for village commissioners (aldermen) were: Mrs. Gertrude Corlett, Earl Dawe, Jim Drummond, Fred Fecney, Ken Goddard and Eugene Yabloniki. Other news items were: John Dunlop of Egmont was, elected president of the Pender Harbour and District Chamber of Commerce; the Pender Harbour Community Club resigned in a body "for the good of the club" and as usual, Magistrate Andrew Johnston presided over a busy court calender. Parr-Pearson, for whom the first edition was dedicated, brought the first newspaper to the Sechelt Peninsula. In partnership with Al Alsgard, an office was opened iri Halfmoon Bay In tho been told to Inform you that the only hookers In Fort St. James are happy ones and have no need to advertise.

Porr-Peorsort, horn in Vancouver, come to Sechelt Peninsula with Ted Osborne Logging Co. He rose to foreman before leaving to go into the real estate ond taxi business in Sechelt, During this time ho studied bookkeeping and became resident manager of Union Estates. It was during his managership that Hackett Pork wos granted by tho Union Estates to tho village pf Sochelt. Ernie is credited, said The Times 10 years ago, more than (thy other nlhglo person, with getting thhyj{ift for the community. He was In- 1erlm'���ooipmlfiaioneri' for Sechelt during the negotiations for formation of the municipality.' He won oi former cjtj��t(\ln ofjiho Uth i ofj. ho visor of the Indians of the Sechelt tribe. When presenting a v_siting Canadian Chamber of Commerce national president with a momento, he made local history by speaking in the Sechelt Indian dialect. The Times, under the editorship of Joan Donley, took a strong editorial stand from the first issue and in its introductory editorial, the newspaper stated: "This issue of The Sechelt Peninsula Times introduces a new publication to the Sunshine Coast area, one which plans to serve you well as a communication medium both for news and advertising. It will cover the scattered area from Port Mellon to Egmont, and in so doing, aim to assist in the gradual growth of these areas and an integration and encouragement of interests through efficient communication. "... Finally, The Times is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Ernie Parr- Pearson, whose vision and aggressiveness brought in its first newspaper exactly 20 years ago. In spite of valiant efforts by Ernie and his friends, at that time, it was a rocky roadfor the fledgling paper and it never managed to complete the grand design which he had envisioned for it. This is a humble effort to continue Mr. Pearson's vision nnd, in proper time, complete it." In another editorial, The Times urged electors to exercise their democratic right of voting for "those councillors arid school trustees whom they wish to represent them." The Times of 1063 carried through its pledge to carry news nnd advertising from throughout the Sunshine Coast if was mandated to serve. Datelines were\from Port Mellon, Gibsons, Roberts Creek\ Sechelt, Ifalfmoon Boy, Pender Horbour\ond JSgmonjt ond other communities.

Ten years ago The Times burst forth in a five column tabloid format of 16 pages. The paperywould be comparable to eight pages today. Joan Donley was the first editor. Mrs. Donley, a resident of the Sunshine Coast for 24 years, served as editor until May 1964 when Douglas Wheeler was appointed to the position. Wheeler left in October 1972 and Richard T. Proctor, the present editor, replaced him. The first edition of the newspaper, which was then known as The Sechelt Peninsula Times, was dedicated to Ernie Parr-Pearson, a community-minded citizen who brought the first newspaper to this area in 1943.

Bert Whittaker showed an imaginative and romantic flair when he named these streets. These names are now part of our tradition, and traditions are entitled to deference. Properly played up, these exciting names could be a tourist attraction. People from all over would stop in Sechelt to see the unique streets. Where else do you have such names? Local residents should know the significances of these names and point them out to visitors. And not only should the streets the village council has adopted a bylaw requiring street names to retain nautical themes. With the 200 lot Sechelt Lands subdivision and Len Van Egniond's 200 lot subdivision and Ted Osborne's subdivision, plus others, developers will be hard-pressed to come up with suitable names. It won't be that tough because when the district lots 303 and 304 were surveyed and then known as Seechelt townsite, streets were laid out in a grid pattern. Besides other streets mentioned there were: Medusa, Foam, Neptune, Marine, Flotilla, Spray, Azimuth, Trident, Bay, Beacon and Osprey. There are plenty more arid if the listruns out, there are the names of the seas and oceans and bays throughout the world not to mention fish.) Mrtv>er e&neatiwn important DEC. 1 to 7 marks Canada's safe driving week. During that week probably more than 50 Canadians will die in traffic accidents. Shocking you may say. Yes, but not so shocking when you consider that an average week sees 115 Canadians die in traffic and 134 for the weeks before and after the campaign. That ought to tell motorists something. Safe driving week, with its emphasis on safety, obviously achieves its purpose, that of lowering the death toll on the nation's highways. If traffic fatalities can be reduced during the special week why not during the rest of the year. It's a matter of education. That is one reason why the Gibsons Lions Club is to be commended for its project of providing a driver-training car for Elphinstone .students, With proper driving techniques, with adequate facilities we shouldn't have repeats of the unfortunate accident of last week when a drivcr-tra.ncc drove through n store window in Sunnycrest Plaza, Luckily there were no injuries.

This system is lavishly supplied with all sorts of essentia^ ingredients except one and that is driver education. For some reason we seem to think that Canadians must be born with the inherent ability to drive a vehicle. The system which has done such a splendid job building cars, roads, gas stations, repair shops, insurance companies and hospital facilities, has done a very poor job of providing the one essential ingredient for safe ahd efficient vehicle transportation���adequate training for those who use tho system. In addition the number of vehicles and drivers coming on to our roads increases at close to a four per cent annual rate. The capacity of our roads does not increase at anything like a compensating rate because of the huge capital expenditures involved. The Canada Safely Council's defensive driving course provides this missing ingredient on a mass scale. Since the program started in Canada early in 1968 close to 450,000 Canadian drivers have taken the course. This averages approximately 75,000 per year. Wc should be training at least 250,000 drivers each year if we arc to make a significant impression upon traffic accident statistics as wc know them. Wc arc not doing our share on the Sunshino Coast. , , ,���, ........ Then there wn_ tho lenae broker wo know who filled hia swimming pool with martinis.

(The Times, Nov. 7. -Mr. Sam Crystal; ������������'. .^''���:.''��������� X- ' 'A Director, Public Relations, ' The Oshawa Group Limited, 125 The Queerisway, Toronto 18, Ontario. Dear Mr. Crystal: Thank you for your. 1-tter of. October 26th. As you undoubtedly know, the New Democratic Party has" been expressing its concern oyer the dramatic increases in ���~ corporate "prof its this year, in the food industry and in other sectors of oUr economy; We believe that excessive corporate profits this year will reach their highest level since 1956. Because of our concern, we have been closely monitoring profit figures as they appear in the press and in Statistics Canada bulletins. We have approached this task with great care, recognizing the importance of accuracy and are convinced that the truth will speak eloquently for itself. .-���'���"������'.��� y . .In no sense, then, .was, the. reference tothe Oshawa Group in my recent report . intended to mislead. Nor do I accept your accusation that it was inaccurate. . The fact that the profit increase which I cited included "extraordinary" income is irrelevant to my argument. It is not unusual,for large co^lomerate,,)!?orpoi.a- ____________ . ._ ^ tions to reap profits from activities'that are not- generally associated I with its "normlal" operations.. I'< share tpe Carter ^ view, however,,that a "buck is a buck".^ And-Lam sure your shareholders agree that "a. profit is, a profit". . ^ - This' discussion raises an , important point. Many of our large corporations axe involved in a wide range of activities which are. often ��� only tenuously interrelated. As a result, it is often extremely difficult for the public to grasp the full jextent of corporate power in our society and to place responsibility where it rightfully belongs. In my view, the accounting practices, and\reporting methods now sanctioned by investment dealers and governments enable large" conglomerates to conceal* much relevant information and in some case,, even to deceive the public. This is a point which the New Democratic Party will be raising' when the proposed new Corporations Act comes before Pa*-" liament. Because the Oshawa Group is a public corporation, the public does have some access to your financial reports, howeyfer ��� inadequate. The same cannot be said'/-of' course, for private companies^ and for many foreign-controlled firms 'operating in Canada. That is another problem to which our party has "been directing its attention. ^- ' Your .concern that "all references to your, company be based on complete and accurate information will, I trust, ensure your support for our party's demand for fuller disclosure of corporate financial figures.

Where did. I come from? Why am I here? and ^Where am I going after this life is over? Such' questions can be answered bebause of the revelations received-by the Prophet Joseph Smith,of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints. Bfeforo we were born into this life, every person eve_ born on this earth lived in a-pre-HftoJ-tai existence. We did not have physical-ftdtes of flesh and bdnes as we now have. We lived as spirit children of our' Heavenly Father. A spirit has the same form as a persqn. As spirits we were able to communicate, make choices and recognize the difference between good .md eviVy ;.y >" ]Y'\y:' in our association with our P-avehiy Father, we; could see' that .he had h glorified bodyof flesh and' bones which was necessary to progress eternally. We wanted to be __ce fcdm.

To .fyebomk / more Godlike we required a physical bod^. We also heeded wisdom which we could obtain by earthly experienfce.. Another reason^We came to earth:yt��s to develop,, iaith hi? God.; If we are to have f_ith;*in hdi_v' we must learn to trust him and have confidence in his promises to us. Since all knowledge of our previous existence has been taken from:''i_s, We walk by faith and not by ^memory. He gave us commandments to hve by and our faith is tested by how welt we keep the commandments^ An important part of the Lord's plan, for our eternal progression is that each' of us must die. Death is part of the process by which our bodies become perfected. All men must die, and all shall be resurrected (1 Corinthians 15:21-22). After death, which isythe separation of the spirit from the body, our mortal bodies.will be placed in the grave. Our Spirits, which can never die, will go to a place called the spirit world to prepare for the resurrection. The resurrection is the union of the spirit with the immortal body; After the resurrection we will not die; our physical bodies and bur spirits will be inseparably joined for eternity. The fact."that everyone will be resurrected; does hot mean that we will all return to the kingdom of heaven. If we fail to keep the. Lord's commandments, we will not be permitted to live with him. Christ taught that we will go to different places after the j^urrection, depending on how well we_jiave kept the commandments. (John 5:28-29) ihe knowledge we have of where we came from, why we are here and where we are going, motivates our daily lives.

Land Commission, from the En- ��� vironment and Land Use" Committee. Williams, chairman of the seven-minister Environment and Land Use Committee, made the announcement in conjunction with Bill Lane, chairman of the B.C. Land Commission. 1 ' The appeal provision provides for a channel ..of appeal in the interim period while the Land Commission is defining the agricultural reserves throughout the province. ' ' To allow the -Land Commission to focus totally on the agricultural reserve proposals, the appeals were initially han- vdled by the Environment and Land Use Committee. 6ver 750 appeals have been considered to date. --,, Now that the agricultural, reserve proposals prepared by the Regional Districts are being brought forward, it has been agreed that the appeals should now be considered by the Land Commission in 'conjunction.'.with the reserve proposals, said Williams. ������������ ISventy-seven regional districts are, preparing agricultural reserve plans. Six have brought forth their proposed reserves, four more are due in shortly, and all but one are expected by the end of next month. As the agricultural reserves are adopted by cabinet, region by region, the appeal provision of Order-ih-Council 157 will be phased out, but all the previous appeals ih each region will be ^re-examined to provide applicants with further information, particularly those whose appeal has been "denied pending the establishment of agricultural reserves." A small staff set up under the Environment and Land Use Committee to gather information relating to each appeal, and an inter-departmental review committee that has been recommending on each appeal, will both continue to operate for the Land Commission in Victoria. The commission will meet periodi cally in Vancouver to consider these appeals. Regional districts, municipalities and all approving officers are being in- sidential customers will be protected from price increases.

The purpose of her trip was to visit her family���two sisters and a brother and their families���and many old friends. One happy occasion was a 51st reunion of her old school classmates. She made her headquarters at Viersen, near Dusseldorf and did most of her visiting in the little towns' of the lower Rhine- land. The countryside near the Dutch border was just as enchanting and pastoral as 3he remembered, it. It is a gentle, flat country, traversed by small rivers and canals, with their banks lined with poplars and birches. Cows arid sheep dot the bright green meadows and here and there is an old windmill. Field after field of sugar turnips J^g,just been harvested for processing in the sugar refineries. The majestic _U_ihe;y__th its heavy international traffic is largely unchanged, but the low flat cargo boats which were formerly towed by tugs, are now motorized, but the captain's family still has its living quarters at the stern of the boat; Dusseldorf, a beautiful city bordering on the rich Ruhr industrial district has some fine streets including the famous Koenig's Allee with the most elegant and extravagant stores and restaurants, while, in the old part of the city near the Rhine, one can find narrow cobblestone streets with the cosiest little inns. Here you can sit at white scrubbed tables and drink beer or wine, and for very little money, you can eat hah* a chicken with your fingers. (You'd have to ask for cutlery!)

They are bright with flower- filled stands or exotic trees and paved in intricate designs. In Viersen, they are even building an open orators* platform to operate on the lines of JHyde Park's soap box corner in London. ThO food stores are always busy because the German hausfrau believes in shopping .every day for the freshest food. The open markets are a colorful sight, with masses of brilliant flowers, every vegetable you can imagine, diecorated earthenware, cheeses, meat and eggs. In the market you pack your purchases right into your own bags or baskets. The food stores provide big plastic bags, but again you are expected to pack your own groceries. Mrs. Leuchte reports that she Saw no signs Of unemployment; In fact, worker's are so badly needed that aliens, mostly Turks, Greeks and Yugoslavia are arriving by the thousands to do the menial jobs. The universities aire so overcrowded that only istudents with the highest marks are how admitted. There is no doubt about the wealth Of the country and the high standard of living. People are well dressed and a variety of good food is plentiful, but expensive. However, Mrs. Leuchte thinks that Our life hero on the Sunshine Coast is simpler and closer to nature. She was intrigued by the crowded passenger trains running' continuously day and night. They arrive exactly one minute before their scheduled departure time: and leave right on the dot, so if passengers aren't ready to jump on or off right away, they miss the train or are carried along to the next station. Out in the country there are a number of interesting and picturesque res-' taurants which are often converted mills with the mill wheels still turning inside. With their timbered ceilings, bright flowers, old copper kettles and gleaming brassware, they are the gayest and most cheerful places and are invariably crowded, especially on Saturday afternoons and Sundays when all stores are dosed. In such gracious and pleasant surroundings, people linger long over their coffee and cream-filled torten or a deliciously prepared dinner. Mrs. Leuchte flew to Gatwick and spent a few days in London before continuing her flight to Dusseldorf. However, she returned to England by channel steamer from Ostende because she wanted to see the white cliffs of Dover and she found them most impressive. London she found just as fascinating as she remembered it 20 years before, but she thought the traffic was terrible. When she boarded her plane at Gatwick for the return flight, she was surprised to find two of the passengers were old friends from West Vancouver., and. there was i.,J8BJ^_Wi^^^ Fritz, had on so many occasions, entertained the patients with their music.

JO-V.X^'M-X-JM. 49i�� Davia St., terrace, B.C, 1CS THERE is still no 'cu_e for gum disease,. commonly called' pyorrhea, although' dental scientists ( have'devoted a; great- deal of study to it, according Ho the Canadian Dental Association. ���,,, v Prevention is the key in controlling gum disease, and regular toothbrushing is one of the most effective ways to pre-; vent and pontrol mild cases. "* " "��� Dental plaque���the slimey substance that forms on teeth���is a prime facto/ in gum disease. Plague' contains bacteria that attack the t�� �� t h causing decay^ Plaque often becomes mineralized into" tartar (calculus) as it clings to teeth, ir-' ritates\the gums, causing them to recede. As the. gums r��;c-d-, they leave spaces' or pockets between the teeth and gums [ where bacteria and debris collect. This1 causes further irritation and the possibility of infection. The process is continuing and, if untreated, eventually destroys the gums and bones around the' teeth. Teeth loosen and fall out. ���������_ Gum disease accounts for most tooth loss in adults, but It also affects children. About one in five children has some form of giim disease. The longer they have it, the greater the chances of their losing ..teeth. '."'. However, even if the disease has made. considerable progress,, your dentist can often control it through regular cleaning of the'teeth to remove plaque and tartar. He may also perform a gingivectomy��� surgical removal of diseased tissue���to halt the spread of the disease. This treatment does not rebuild the destroyed tissue, and the patient must take excellent care of his teeth and gums to prevent the disease from recurring. Again the best method of home prevention is regular brushing after all meals to prevent plaque from forming. Combined with regular visits to the dentist to remove hardened deposits, this treatment will help to prevent or stop the spread of the disease.

In Gibsons village council, engineer Martin J. J. Dayton recommended to council the old United Church building shouldbe located behind the. present library building for ease and economy of hook-up to sanitary facilities. _ Council chairman A. E.

Councillor Wes Hodgson, who favors locating the building alongside the present library felt he would be better satisfied had he had the opportunity to discuss the matter with Dayton when he was in the area. School district news was in abundance in the Dec. 4, 1963 Times. Obviously there was. a great deal of interest in schools by members of the public, but another reason for the preponderance of school district news could have had something to do with the fact that the editor, Joan ��� Donley, was a school trustee. Mrs: Donley reported on plans for a new vocational wing housing home economics, industrial arts and commercial. Supt. Johnson said the district is a year behind on this problem due to the defeat of the referendum last April (1963). And so went the first edition of the Peninsula Times (1963 version).

A composite of various student opinions Tiaye. been prepared by Mrs. Bea Rankin, who accompanied the group. ; "Many people in the community contributed to the project," said Mrs. Rankin. .. and 1 think they would like to know that the students did get something of value out of the trip.'. Following is the report: . - Elphinstone students who went to Fort Coulogne, Quebec, returned the visit in May by a; group of students from the Fort Coulogne. It was primarily an inter-cultural exchange, sponsored by the federal and provincial "governments and* made possible by their own efforts in raising one-third the cost. Benefits were many. One of them was that of .seeing another and distant part of the nation. In Montreal they saw old buildings and narrow cobblestone streets which remnded them of a bygone era. In Ottawa they saw their nation's capital, a city whose amenities are being carefully planned and where the operation of locks, to permit movement of boats on the. Rideau Canal can be view1- ied, where the solemnity of government processes in action cpn be felt and where . _ the beauty of craftsmanship in stone sculptures and ornate wood carvings can be appreciated in the Parliament Buildings. The students were impressed by the strong bonds of friendship and the , warmth of these ties which were established during the two short visits was clearly evident during the tearful parting at the depot and promises to keep in touch'.' They came back realising that family life patterns are very similar in both areas of Canada. For those who were billetted on farms such routine was interesting and enlightening. They found that all too few easterners are .continuing the old art of making maple syrup and only one student was able to bring back some of the delectable product. For those who were in homes in the villages of the school district stretched out along the and Quebec, it is essential that they be able to use both languages. It was clear that our students tried to use their limited French but they found it difficult to keep up with the speed of their speech and the French-Canadian colloquialisms. They found could understand the teachers much better in the classes they attended with their billets. They spoke more distinctly and with! probably fewer slang expressions. Students were impressed! with the high school The enrolment of 900 is made up of students from Grade 8 to 12 travelling, to school mostly by bus from the ribbon attendance area similar to our own. With a staff of 75 the classes tended to be much smaller and' there was a; good offering of courses. It seemed, however, that our commerce, art, home economics and shop courses were better- offering more options and a greater variety of content. However, the theatre- type auditorium, the large centrally-placed library and resource centre, the double gymnasium, the large cafeteria open at all times for snacks and serving a choice of hot meals at noon, a well-stocked automotive shop and an arrangement of the halls and stairways that made movement very free and uncongested, were, the envy ��� of our students. Students hope that the'. new Elphinstone will have many of these'?, facilities. yi Without having seen the complete . course content from Grade 8 to 12 in'l any of the subjects and based only on the" part of the course they saw during the week they were there, the students said it seemed that our students would graduate with a higher level of academic j knowledge. In a grade 11 chemistry class V the Quebec students were covering work... taken here in grade 9 and in.a mathematics 10 class they were taking material ��� ., which is covered here In grades 8 and 9. Students are not allowed to take typing until grade 11 and therefore there would not be time to offer the advanced courses such as office orientation and office practice which are offered to our students who have had threie years of typing. They were, however offering shorthand but no bookkeeping. The experience will not soon be forgotten and if only half of the many pictures snapped turn out well, the sights as possible. , I and my colleagues .have already spoken on this issue, in the 'House of Commons during the emergency session that took place this summer, , . Also, since January of , this year, members of the special committee of the House on trends in food prices had more than 30 meetings, hearing testimony from all sectors of the food industry, and concentrating on supermarkets. INFLATION IS iMTERNATIONAL To start with, panada's rising cost-of- living is part of a worldwide inflation. So we can't pretend tb^treat Canadian prices in isolation from/the rest of the World. Every industrialized nation is experiencing a similar, or yrorse, situation. Oui\ inflation is aggravated^ by the fact that Canada's economy is closely tied to that of the United States: their infla-" tion troubles become ours. As well, we are a major trading country, and muc_v of our economy is based, on exports. I do not make these points to suggest we throw, up bur- hands and do nothing. Far fro__.it. I mention .hem to stress that we are faced with a difficult and complicated problem. There is no isingle, simple solution to it, and it is false to pretend there is. Instead, I believe government action should take several forms. PRICES REVIEW BOARD The first is to set up a mechanism to make sure that the consumer is hot being cheated by unjustified, too-high prices pr mark-ups. A lot of us suspect that some .businesses are charging vis everything the traffic will bear, and it angers us. But suspicion is not proof, and proof is harder to get. So on the food prices committee, and in Parliament, my colleagues have pressed for the establishment of a prices review board empowered to investigate suspicious price increases, publicize its findings, ��� and take corrective action. Last spring, the government agreed to set up a board to look specifically at food prices. This five-person board, head-/ ed by Mrs. Plumptre, has all the power it needs to investigate and publicize. But it has no teeth. All it can do is recommend action to the government; the government , has given no guarantee it will follow through. It's a start, but it's not enough. My; colleagues have tried to get support from other parties for the specific proposition" that the food prices review board be given real power to cancel or roll back unjustified price increases wherever it finds them. Yet neither Liberals nor Conserva- ... tives will agree to this next step. A really effective prices review board, able to bite instead of just barking, could in the market place. WHY NOT OVERALL CONTROLS? X Okay, you may be saying^ if you're prepared to see price roll-backs, whyLpot go the whole hog and instal overall wage and price controls?o /.f ?: ��� ��� '." Because (1) they're not SW same thing at alii (2) overall controls haven't worked; (3) most ordinary workers and many businesses would be penalized for the sins of a few. ��� 'A ��� \ .'.������":' Britain and the "United States have experimented with freezes and controls in the last two years. When the freeze is on, prices stop rising. But when the freeze stops, prices take off. In the States, a short-term food price freeze was lifted at the end of;August. Result: food-prices leapt by 6 percent in one-month, the biggest jump in 26 years! And this after experimenting for two years with overall controls! \ Britain has had a partial food price freeze (they can't freeze imported food prices), Yet from November 1972 to April v 1973, their food price index rose by 9 per cent. In Canada, for the same period and with ho freeze, ours went up 8 per . cent, slightly-less.

We attended, and v/ere impressed at the amount of work involved, for the Egmont group; glad to hear that their efforts were rewarded with success. That's all the news for this week, but I feel I can't close without some reference to a little adventure my husband and I had recently. Infected with sea fever, we undertook our first trip aboard our newly acquired boat two weeks ago. We started out to bring her from Gibsons to her new home at Madeira Park. I wont bore you with all the details��� in a seaside community such stories are ��� commonplace I'm sure. But we hit high winds and rough water, lost an oar, missed the Pender Harbour entrance in the fog, and ended up in Thunder Bay, a few miles west of Saltery Bay. What I wanted to talk about was what happened after that. If I am ever tempted to adopt the sort of cynicism about human nature which seems to exist in many places toddy. Til only have to think back on that evening to have my faith in my fellow human beings restored. There we were, two tired, cold, worried people. Our motor had quit, and the " boat was riding at anchor in shallow water in a high wind. We had almost no money and were miles from any source of help we knew of, and without means of transportation on land. And it was evening. We made our way ashore, and found an occupied house. The lights in the window and the warmth indoors were indescribably welcome, but it was the brightness and warmth of bur reception by Marjorie Knorr that realy cheered, us . Marjorie found a fisherman who was willing to help us get the boat to safety, and without hestitation she offered food and shelter for the night At her advice, we called Frank Johnstone in Saltery Bay and he came unhestitatingly to our aid. He brought his boat into the dangerously shallow waters of the bay in full dark and towed us to the government dock at his home base. He and his wife, Frances, gave us coffee and reassurance: instead of impatience with our inexperience, they showed genuine concern for our predicament, and told us "it could have happened to anyone." Meanwhile Marjorie Knorr had sent Herb, her husband, to pick us up and bring us back to their home, where we were offered a meal, ta comfortable bed, eyen a toothbrush anfi comb and nightgown. And next morning they'd arranged for a neighbor to drive us back to Saltery Bay. There Frank helped us determine what was the matter with the motor and set it right, Frances made sure I had cigarettes enough to feed my habit on the return journey through Agamm- enon Channel to Madiera Park, and we were sent on our way. In a recent issue of Saturday Night I read someone's opinion that westerners, because of their frontier mentality, were not very community-spirited; that they put a high value on individual ability, but were not very good at helping those who needed help. I want to say, loud and clear, that just isn't true. The Knorrs and the Johnstones proved that most dramatically of any of the people we've met here, but they're not the only ones. In our part of the west anyway, it's the rule and not the exception to find cordial, helping hands extended. (I've handed on my copy of the offending issue of Saturday Night, so can't identify the author of the opinion mentioned.) i - _ Wilson Creek guides enrolled last week WILSON ' CREEK-^-A'v' semi--candlelight ceremony, prepared by patrol leaders|? of 1st Wilson Creek Guide Company, en-V rolled the following girls: Lynn Creigl\. ton, Bonnie Cole, Rhonda Doyle, Lis A English, Louise Higgs, Valerie Tait Kbj$ >W Bryson was presented, her baker badg��>' * and Kim Benner her poultry badge.

Missionary talk slated for Davis Bay Church A MISSIONARY with over 20 years experience at the New Tribes mission in the Philippines will be guest speaker at a slide show and talk in Davis Bay Church Dec. 1. Miss M. E. Wardale Will be following up a successful lecture held Nov. 25 in the Sunshine Coast Gospel Hall, Davis Bay. y' From the pulpit ���by Pastor Gerry Foster, Gibson. Pentecpttol Church YOU are familiar with the expression "seeing is believing' or you have perhaps said at one time or another T'll believe itjwhen I see it'. It seems that human natdre is generally, somewhat skeptical or apprehensive. And it is not a completely bad trait, as it is not wise' to swallow everything hook, line and sinker. - But bringing this over to the religious field there must be a different attitude. We don't suggest/one is to drop all defences, ask no questions and blindly, jump into something. The different attitude comes into it because you are dealing with God, your creiator, one who is above you. I know many today boldly (actually foolishly) proclaim, "You show me God then I will believe". But this is your mistake. God is not obligated to show you anything. He has in His grace given you all the proof you need to know that He exists, but our attitude is all haywire if we have the audacity to arrogantly tell God what to do. What we must do the Bible says is to believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him. Jesus gives invitations and challenges by the dozen. You put your complete faith in Him, humble yourself and He will sweep you off your feet; God will allow you to see but first you must believe. iiirfiYiiit'______..

Feasibility study sees two schools I ..!<" THE school site feasibility committee has come out in support of a two-school concept for the lower Sunshine Coast On the &asls of evidence gathered to date, members have agreed that junior secondary schools should be established in the Sechelt and Gibsons areas, with senior secondary facilities built in conjunction with either of the Junior secondary schools. Nine possible sites havo been assessed by the committee and site sub-comimittee advisor Ed Cuylits told members Nov. 10 that the field has bceh narrowed down to three. The former Elphlnstone Secondary School site in Gibsons waa favored for new facilities in that area. Near Sechelt, locations near Sunshine Heights and Chapman Road were considered the viable alternatives. Cuylits noted that all requests for survey information from outside agencies ,had not yet been answered. But he felt information presently in tho hands of the .^committee wno sufficient to enable it to . come to a decision. Finance sub-committee chairman hor- , ne Wolverton noted that the main problem^ associated with the much-touted Ro- .jberts Creek site were water ond sewage. Although both could be remedied, he felt it would take tlmo. Bussing would be . increased also, If tho Roberta Creek location was chosen. S) Wolverton explained that In 1972, 359 students were busned to Elphlnstone Junior-senior flccdmlary. If junior secondaries w_ro built nt Gibsons and Selma Park, with senior facilities at Roberts Creek, 302. tftudenta would have to be bussed, according to projected figifres. Wolverton eliminated modt of tho poa- slblo alternative sites for financial or educational reasons, supporting Cuyllta* findings on a two-school concept. Feasibility comimittee chairman Pat Murphy felt members could present their findings to the school board after one more meeting.

"But there are several things that prevent this. In the winter the road \- between (pibsons and Sechelt) is very bad. Also, 'before the new government brought in the land freeze, all the communities were growing together and undoubtedly some day, Gibsons and< Sechelt would have eventually amalgamated.". But, said Hall, amalgamation between the two communities is unlikely, and he added: "There is a feeling between the two communities and it. would be a great thing if we could mend that feeling' by a central recreation centre, but it does not look like that will be now. At any rate,, this feelingirin my opinion, can be a healthy thing..If Gibsons had its curling club, and they could get it now, too through the grants, and Sechelt had its winter recreation, there would be op- - portunities for competition between two clubs and the children would have other teams to compete with. We wll both have our own." ? At the meeting, Hall said that he hoped to have an expert on ice making, Tony Folk, address the 'group, but he was unable to make it. He will speak to the meeting on Saturday. Hall explained how-ice could be used for both curling and hockey. Assuming there was enough money for four sheets of ice and there are 35 juniors that wish to curl, they will have eight rings to play. "Supposing they were to curl Tuesday at about 3:30 p.m., it would take three hours of ice time on four sheets of ice to have them curl one game. If they wished to have two games they would need, Thursday afternoon as well "Now there are 143 male and female adults or 36 rinks at two games per week, . standard game is 72 rinks. On four sheets of ice, it would handle 16 rinks per night, the first draw eight rinks and the second eight rinks. You run Off 72 rinks could then, after the last draw on Thursday night curling. During the day, business girls and housewives could curl. W_ could then, after the! ast draw on Thursday, change the ice over, take,out'the bars separating the 14 feet of curlirigy do what is necessary. and have the ice changed over on Friday. "On BYiday evening, we would 'have Open skating, on Saturday morning" we have.56 juniors from 6 a.m. to noon who could play hockey, or practice. In the afternoon, we could let. 65 children have figure skating. On Saturday evening 51 fathers could play hockey and on Sunday, we could have 345 people who may be interested in skating. This could be open skating all day." Hall explained that such ice changeover is costly and requires lots of power and that perhaps every second week would be preferable. But, he added, that would be up to the governing committee to determine. He said that of all persons at the Roberts Creek founding meeting, 100 per cent voted in favor of the formation of the. association;'. ^x ZAi Aa :^X .������>���-.��� -;" Next consideration for application for grants from the Community Recreational Facil__.es Fund will be Jan. 1 and that announcements of grant approvals will be made one month later, said Jack Radford, rmnister of recreation and conservation. - 1 YOUR CHANCES ON 48 $100 PRIZES, 3 $1000 PRIZES | ��� AND 1 $3000 PRIZE ARE 1 IN 8 IN THE GIBSONS ��� It LIONS 400 CLUB. i !___���____.

Tah_tthe youngfellbw who had been picked up for an accident, tossed in jail, then raised the devil and got cooled.off. Consequently, an Officer was charged ^rith something he had nothing to do with in the first place other than follow the law book. Now if this young fellow had been a square dancer he would not have got into trouble in the- first place because he would have had better interests in Hfe. Let me give you an example of the simplest form .so that all will understand. We have operated a group home for over four years. We have had quite a bit of damage done to our home with no, remuneration whatsoever. I have to pay the bill out of my own pocket.

So I said, "How come? Who broke the handles on the shovels, axes, rakes and who punched the hole in the wall?" He said that didn't count. Then he finally admitted he was at fault for all the damage done, but he was still going to 'clean my clock,' as he put it, for giving him a licking for doing something that he was old enough to know better in the first place. So I said, "Let's go outside and get on with it, might just as I well be now." He thought this action over and apologized and for the next few weeks put half of his allowance toward repairs. All he really wanted was a little parental interest in what he was doing, but just picked a hard way to get it. Let's go a little farther. Some of the young teenagers would like td try square '���.dancing, this would give them something to do at least once a week. I have offered to take them home after the lesson but so far there has not been one parent who will take ten minutes to bring the kids down to my place. Ridiculous, isn't it. y On the end of a letter to the editor 'was a P.S. "Why were not the parents informed of the young fellow in jail! Where the only love he got was a little damp. After over four years of looking after teenagers and almost 60 kids later, only about three parents came to visit their children. That's a very poor percentage, in fact almost missed. So you see, today's parent doesn't give a darn. I rest my case but I wjll never stop going square dancing. This is better living, ov. ..... A .,...

The Peninsula Timet Page B-5 Wednesday, November 28, 1973 Safemotpring WINTER road conditions change as feat as weather... so be on guard, -Anticipate stops and slow down gradually, especially approaching intersections. They can be unexpectedly slippery because of the polishing effect stopping and starting traffic has on snow and ice. ��� \^ ��� y _. Nevet- jani on the brakes on a slippery surface.;.. ..you'll only lock yoiir > wheels and go into a skid. Purnp the brake with hard rapid jabs to keep the wheels rolling and better steering control; If you do go into a skid, act quickly but don't overreact. Take your foot off the gas and steer in the direction the rear of the car is skidding, you'll feel the car regaining a grip : on _the road... then straighten your wheels. You need a lot more room to stop on wintry roads so keep a safe following distance in traffic. Anticipate turns. Slow down well ahead and make them smoothly. Use extra caution in warming temperatures���or when the sun is out. Ice can be wet at 30 degrees and twice as slippery as 'dryVice at, zero. Some..sections of roadway can be icy when other surfaces are dry���underpasses and deep cuts ���because of shading, overpasses an$ bridges because of cold air beneath. If you hit an unexpected ice patch, ease up on the gas, hold the wheel steady and roll through. If you get stuck in snow, you may be able to get out with a rocking motion of the car; Get the snow away from the tires by turning the wheels back and forth. Use a slight pressure on the gas and move the gear selector rhythmically between "Drive" and "Reverse". Check your owner's manual for warnings on rocking. By "all means avoid racing the engine or spinning the wheels. You'll only dig in deeper and it could cause overheating and transmission falure. To see and be seen is a vital necessity in winter motoring. Danger can come from any directiqn, anytime. Before you start out, clean the glass of all ice and snow ...not just peepholes. That means side and rear windows too. Keep headlights clean. Dirty lenses can cut illumination 25 per cent. Operate heater, a few minutes before you get underway. You could be blinded by sudden fogging of the glass until the car warms up. Studded tires can be legally used in British Columbia from October I to April 30 of the 'next year.

OAP housing complex is officially opened GIBSONS���Sunshine Coast Kiwanis Club saw the realization of years of planning Nov. 25 when its senior citizen's housing project on North Road was officially opened by president Ken Goddard. Attending the ceremony were-, acting mayor. Winston Robinson of Gibsons, chairman Agnes Labonte of Sechelt school board, Kiwanis representatives from North Vancouver and Vancouver and a crowd of over 100 local well-wishers. Goddard expressed appreciation to all the organizations and individuals who had contributed to the project, named Kiwanis Village. Pastor Gerry Foster dedicated the building and long-time Kiwanis secretary Bill Hailley cut the ribbon. Kiwanians recognized Hailey's many years service to the local club by naming the foyer Hailley's Hall. Initial planning for the project started in the early spring of last year. Kiwanis members raised over 10 per cent of the $300,000 construction cost, entitling them to a Central Mortgage and Housing Association loan. The complex features seven doublo rooms and 13 singles, including specially modified suites for handicapped residents. Site size allows for possible future expansion of the housing project, and Kiwanis members are confident a duplicate building will be constructed in the near future, when funds and demand allow. When weather permits, the grounds will be landscaped to provide a pleasant, garden-like setting for residents. Two suites are still available. Any local senior citizens, 65 years or over, interested in applying for a suite should contact Bill Wright at 886-7735. Ferry sailings cut during week's refit B.C.

And sometimes without giving you the auto insurance protection you really need 4and want. That's why the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia was formed... to provide every driver and car owner ir. the province with complete motor vehicle,Jnsurance at the lowest possible cost. And at the sarne time, to ^provide the best-possible claims "settlement service. . aa'X aaA'^; yv, Vx--* ���"> ��� . AutoPlan is? a complete and -dmprehen- sive^stem^Ji^fcwill \^q^-y^^m^xsite^ oi all your;_r^or. vehicle insurance^ aricl licence plate requirements 'efficiently, at one location. JVJpre than 1,Q0Q trained, independent iriisuf ance agents ^ltdughout the province will provide AutoPlan service, as well as the regular Motor Vehicle Licence Offices. . % ��� ������.,../. - -.<* There are more advantages to AutoPlan. First, all drivers and vehicles' in British Columbia will have insurance. And with everyone insured by the same company, a lot of lengthy and costly legal battles will be avoided. Further, all money from premiums goes back into AutoPlan, to proyidg ^Bi?m_lT.eoh-^ premiums and the best possible claims service. We believe that AutoPlan makes a lot of sense. We think you will too. Optional Supplementary Coverage. W hen you arrange for your AutoPlan insurance, you can, in most cases, increase your third party liability to $100,000, $200,000, $300,000, $500,000 or $1,000,000. Collision deductibles can be decreased to either $100 or $50; and the Comprehensive deductible can be decreased to$25. You can discuss these points with your insurance agent when you receive your AutoPlan form later this year. How to get AutoPlan Insurance. .Late in December, you'll be sent a personal- , ized application form which combines your Motor Vehicle annual re-registration form and AutoPlan insurance application. As soon as this is received, you will be able to obtain AutoPlan insurance and the 1974 validation sticker for your vehicle licence plates. " When the form arrives, simply take it to one of the more than 1,000 independent insurance agents, or to a Motor Vehicle Licence Office. Both have specially trained personnel who will help you fill out the form properly, calculating your insurance and licencing costs. At the same time, they will provide you with your 1974 licence validation sticker. We recommend that you work with your agent, rather than attempting to fill in the form on your own. AutoPlan insurance can also be obtained by mail for most types of cars and light commercial vehicles; however, we suggest that wherever possible, you take the AutoPlan form, as it arrives in the mail, to your independent insurance agent or Motor Vehicle Licence Office. What AutoPlan is and when it starts. AutoPlan is a complete accident compensation insurance plan for all motor vehicles registered in British Columbia. It provides compensation for deaths and injuries, as well as major damage resulting from motor vehicle accidents, regardless of who is at fault. AutoPlan also provides liability coverage so that any person injured in an automotive accident, or who suffers property damage from a British Columbia vehicle, is assured that the vehicle owner is financially responsible to the extent of his coverage. As of March 1, 1974, all licenced motor vehicles registered in the province will be required to carry insurance. The Basic AutoPlan Coverage. All private passenger cars that are 1967 models or newer and commercial vehicles that weigh less than 8,000 pounds gross vehicle weight and are 1967 or newer are considered to be Category 1 ... all other vehicles are considered to be Category 2. the basic coverage for all vehicles protects you for: ��� $50,000 Third Party Liability... claims for bodily injury or property damage caused to others. ��� There are "no fault" accident benefits for death and disability, weekly Indemnity, medical, rehabilitation, and funeral expenses up to the specified maximum amount. As well, basic coverage for Category 1 vehicles also Includes: / ��� Collision damage to your vehicle over the basic $250 deductible. ��� Loss or damage from other perils . . . such as) fire, theft, explosion, earthquake and violent weather... over $50. What to do if you're going to be away early in 1974. If you're going to be away from home with your car from now until after March 1, it is important that you make arrangements immediately to have the form forwarded to you. You can do this by passing on full details��� such as your name, vehicle licence number, address and forwarding address���to the Personal Lines Manager, Insurance Corporation of British Columbia. His telephone number Is Area Code 604, 665-5875. Call collect. Or, write to Box 11131, Royal Centre, Vancouver, V6E 3R4. How much will AutoPlan cost? With all motor vehicle insurance being taken care of by one company insurance costs are expected to be lower than you are presently paying. However, this is something that you'll really only be able to find out once your AutoPlan form arrives and when you talk to your agent. The form contains information on factors which affect the cost of insurance, such as the size and age of the car, and how and where it is used. Some details also have to be determined by you or your agent. The key is your agent. Special training will allow him to quickly calculate the exact amount of your particular auto insurance, including any optional extensions you may want. Insuring your car from now until March 1. Between now and March 1, when AutoPlan goes into effect, you can obtain private car insurance from most independent insurance agents. If the agent who handled your insurance in the past is not able to help you, see one of the others in your community, or contact the Insurance Agents Association of B.C., 325 Howe Street, Yancouver, telephone 683-8471. They can provide you with the name of an agent near you who will provide the service you require. Your driving record and your premium. In addition to the premiums for motor vehicle insurance, each driver will pay a separate premium as a driver. The amount will vary according to the driving record of each individual. In this way, people with poor driving records will pay more and good drivers will pay less. The more demerit points yoU have on your licence, the more your driver's Insurance will cost you. A notice of your driver's insurance premium will be mailed to you early in March, 1974. AutoPlan time payments. Your agent or Motor Vehicle Licence Office will arrange time payments if you wish. Terms will be cash for your vehicle licence fee and 15% of your AutoPlan premium. The balance can be paid in six monthly installments. THE INSURANCE CORPORATION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA AutoPlan Claims Service. Drive-In Claims Centres are now under construction in key locations throughout the province. At these centres, repair costs will be assessed and authorization issued for making repairs. Claims in areas not served by one of these centres will be handled by travelling adjusters. If you are involved in an accident outside British Columbia, you will be able to call AutoPlan collect and be advised of a nearby source of fast claims service. You probably have many questions that this cannot completely answer. However, many of these questions will be answered in a helpful brochure which will be sent to you along with your licence renewal and AutoPlan insurance application form. You will receive an even more comprehensive guidebook when you obtain your Insurance. But one of the best sources of Information will be your own Insurance agent. Right nov^ he's undergoing a comprehensive training programme, and when this course Is completed In December, he'll, be able to give you all the help you need. A key to many of your questions will be found in your computer-prepared personalized licence renewal and Insurance application form. So wait until this form arrives late in December. Then, consult with your Insurance agent. His services will be very helpful. <l :_<_ .i _ . v I i?y MORE ABOUT... /��� Sunshine Coastings ���from page A-l interest Aid. Dennis Shuttleworth.

FERRIES employees at Langdale and Horseshoe Bay probably knew the late Bofo Cunningham as well as anyone. During his many trips to Vancouver with ambulance patients, he would exchange greetings with the ferry workers and pass the time of day with them. So, when Cunningham's tragic death was announced recently, they decided to do Something concrete to honor his memory, -. :.:- ���>������.,, What better way, they thought, than to help in the realization of his dream ���a fully-equipped ambulance service for the Sunshine Coast. Tickets are now on sale for a raffle aimed at raising funds to purchase a heart-lung resuscitator for Cunningham's Ambulance Service, now operated by Cunningham's widow, Joan. First prize is a magnificently-crafted crossbow, designed and built by .ferry employee Robin Allen Sinclair. The fund-raising raffle is spearheaded by Sinclair, Marvin McQuarry and Jimmy Naylor. Sinclair urges anyone with a dollar to spare to buy a ticket. "Sooner or later, everyone needs an ambulance," he said. "The service we now have is good, but they need a resuscitator, radio and other equipment. We can't expect Joan Cunningham to buy all this herself. "If we all give our dollars, we can have the best ambulance service in the province." Sinclair is a recognized expert on crosrfbow design and manufactures the weapons in his spare timev The fine example he donated for the raffle features a select black American walnut stock and a highly-polished aluminum bow. Tho $300 crossbow comes complete with a telescopic sight. Crossbows are becoming increasingly popular as hunting weapons in view of proposed gun-control measures. Tickets are selling well, according to Sinclair, and he urges both local residents and travellers to participate. "We would also like Powell River residents to buy a ticket when they pass through the Peninsula," he said. "After all, they use the highway from Langdale to Earl's Cove almost as much as we do. At some time in the future, they could well be grateful for a fully-equipped ambulance." Tickets are on sale at most local stores or from any ferry employee. The draw takes place Dec. 21. Blake C.
