With its wide a cre s.o f good flat land, good roads, and plentiful and pure water supplies from the Greater Vancouver water system; power un limited from the power lines o f the B.C. Electric Company, and every facility fo r factory invest ment with cheap land and available labor an added incentive for investment, the area js the ideal for expansion for the bursting industrial sites o f the larger towns. For the resident there are some o f the most beautiful dwelling sites on the lower mainland, the center o f which is perhaps the quiet beauty o f the Coquitlam River, the ever popular ground o f fisher men and those who love the untouched beauty o f Canada's finest province. Here is a new realisation o f the educational needs o f today, fo r a full share o f a building development program fo r schools amounting to more than $1,600,000 which will be operating within the year, is the reward o f a de termined people who fought a vigorous battle fo r an improved standard o f learning fo r their children. Yes, come to Port Coquitlam, see fo r yourself the steady progress to an efficient business center where men o f vision are building a new town from the aftermath o f depression years, where the people say this is indeed a “ City o f Opportunity” . YO UR LOCAL M E R C H A N T is an old and hackneyed phrase which T HERE arises periodically in every community: “ Shop at home and help your community.” To many o f us this reads as just* a slogan, but perhaps a little research into an old old problem will reveal more- to us than just the plea o f a local merchant fo r support fo r his business. The businessman in any town is the greatest contributor to the amenities o f our local social services. He pays more in taxes, his is the first response to a local appeal, through him the greatest proportion o f funds are raised to provide new schools, better roads, perhaps a hospital and better services. .s . He is the backbone and mainstay o f your Board o f Trade, that unsung body that without hope o f reward, works steadily fo r the better standard o f liyihg fo r the whole community, that strives constantly to make this world a better place in which to live. He ft the centre o f our business economy. It is hi§ goodwill which tides ovepr the unfortunate in times o f stress, a goodwill too often abused by thoughtless individuals. It is true he takes his living from the community, but is also true that H is his initial investment which provides a neces sary service in that community, whose cumulative effect is the steady growth and development which follows the increase o f businesses, with more resi dents and improved standards o f living in wellplanned society. His success in business is entirely dependent on the support o f the community. He gives to the best o f his ability, a square deal fo r his customers, and often a lot more besides. I f he fails in that you know only too soon, and he either falls in line or closes his doors. With his success he is an asset not to be over looked, for whether it be employment fo r a few, or the assistance o f his energy and experience in community projects, he becomes a necessary part o f our lives. A policy o f “ Shop at Home" brings a lasting security, which being the centre o f com munity life, becomes the very foundation of growth and prosperity fo r the merchant, for the individual, fo r us all. Shop at home then, for the greater the volume o f material wealth which remains at home, the greater, is our chance o f growing lustily, and the better able is your merchant to serve in the various funotfons o f true citisenship. • O N LY ONE PAIR OF PAN TS “ W / H E N the ten provinces meet with the W Federal Government this fall to discuss taxation agreements it is to be hoped that our elected representatives will remember that though the vast sums o f money that are spent by our many governments may seem to come out o f many diferent pockets, all the pockets are really in one pair o f pants— the Canadian taxpayer’s,” said Joseph ListerRutledge, chairman o f the Canadian Unity Council, Mr. Rutledge was commenting on reports that a dominion-provincial conference will be con vened in the near future to discuss the financing o f such measures as a public works program, construc tion and maintenance o f the Trans-Canada High way, national health insurance and other social security measures. “ The government o f a village, a country, a town a city or a province is very greatly in the wrong i f it presumes it should spend money just be cause it can recover all or part o f it as a grant from some other government,” pointed out Mr. Rutledge. “ It would certainly tend to produce economy in government if each level o f government had to raise all the money it spends. It is-very easy fo r a public body to overspend if it doesn’t have to do all o f its own fund-raising— but the ultimate fact is that all o f the money that is spent by all govern ments in Canada must come out o f the Canadian taxpayers pockets. There may 'be lots o f pockets but there is only one pair o f pants. District Jottings Ladies present were Mrs. L. Gross, Mrs. R.C. MacDonald, Mrs. G. Morrison, Mrs. S. Farebrother, Mrs. J. Stewart, Mrs. W. Mowat, Mrs. H. Crowe, Mrs. C. Colby, Mrs. E.M. Gueho, Mrs. E. Conley and Mfs. F.F. Hart. High score was won by Mrs. E. Conley. The Harvest Festival Services were held at St. Stephens Angli can Church Burquitlam on Sun day. There was a Communion] Service at 10 a.m. at which the Rev. J.A.G. Wilson, the rector o f ficiated and Evening Service was Held at 3 p.m. at which Rev. J. Whinfield Robinson, LTh., rector o f St. Helen’s Point Grey was the guest speaker. Evidence o f the need fo r more trained men was indicated at the recent outbreak in the city, so that untrained helpers, who with all the ^ odw ill in the world, gave vahiaole Resistance .at a time of stress, need not be called upon to take risks o f which a trained man would be conscious and so able to cope best with a difficult situation. The fire chief, John Galer, has plans for a better organized and better disciplined service, which will be possible with jnore preBonnel and the new vehicle and equipment now available. It is felt, too, that the new equipment will bring an added interest to those new members so sorely needed. The social side is not to be for gotten. An annual Fireman’s Ball is planned and a series o f social functions will help to make poss ible the projected idea o f a selfl sustaining and financially inde pendent fire department.

CARELESSNESS H EA D S T H E LIST People have been pretty well educated to the fact that a man with a quantity o f liquor in his stomach has no place behind the steering wheel. They have not yet realized that no man has any business driving a car unless he keeps his mind on his jo b every second, abstains from too great speeds, observes the rules o f the road scrupulously, and keeps always in the back o f his mind the cons ciousness that the slightest lapse on his part may cause tragedy.

Lang Sands R E -E X A M E M OF MOTOR-VEHICLE DRIVERS . beginning of 1939, the Government, in addition to what wax already being carried out in •b endeavour to reduce the over rising toll o f deaths, personal injury, and property damage, re sulting from motor-vehicle accidents, instituted an examination o f all motor-vehicle drivers. This examination took the place o f the cursory examination which had been in effect, being formu lated nfter a thorough study o f the motor-vehicle accident problem in connection wiRh the failure of motdr-vehiele drivers, and consisted o f: (n ) Ability to understand warning and other road Mgns. (b ) Knowledge o f the laws and regulations covering nil motor.vehicles. (c ) Knowledge o f the driving o f motorvehicles. (d ) Reaction time. (e ) Eyesight. ( f ) Hearing. , (g ) Ability to drive a motor-vehicle. As anticipated, results o f this examination showed that many drivers, owing to poor vision, physical defects, knowledge or ability to drive motor-vehides, constituted a potential accident haz ard, and in sack cases, it was necessary 'to restrict their driving, or to refuse them the privilege of driving motor*vehicles until they could demonstrate their fitness and abiUty to operate a motor-vehicle with safety to themselves sind other users o f the highway. Owing to the out-break o f the second World War, it has not been possible, up to this time, to give n general re-examination, although information which we have definitely points out that such a course is long overdue, particularly in connection with those persons who just managed to qualify when given such oxaihl nation many years ago, and whose condition has no doubt deteriorated to a con siderable extent since that tim*. Under the circumstances, th'e Government has instituted re-examinations to be carried out as follows: (•) Every year— Class “ A” Chauffeurs and persons over 70 year* o f age. (b ) Every two years — Class “ B” Chauffeurs and persons over 65 years and under 70 years o f age. (c ) Every five years and at such other times as may be deemed necessary— all holders of drivers’ licences. In order to carry out this re-examination expe ditiously holders of drivers’ licences will be notified where and when to report, and If they report at the time and place designated in such notice, they will be given immediate attention. Your full co-operation in this connection Is earnestly requested. G i m i m OF URITISII COLUMBIA Victoria, B. C. September Bth, 1949. BULBS FOR FALL PLANTING NOW READY S. L.

Highlights of Housing Programs Here are highlights o f Recona.iaction Minister Winters’ hous ing statement in the Commons la st Wednesday. 1. One hundred thousand new housing units will likely be built in Canada this year. But this will barely meet current needs and will hardly touch the backlog. 2. The National Housing Act will be amended to provide loans that will approximately cut in hall the down payments on reasonably {priced homes. . 3. There will be amendmente | later concerning housing co-oper-! atives. 4. A dominion-provincial part nership is envisaged on a 75-25 percent financial basis to under take a potential three-point pro gram. This will include land as sem bly, construction o f houses f o r sale, and o f rental units. 4. The provinces would arrange fo r the land and services and would get municipal requests fox aid. Ottawa would plan, design and construct the projects. There would be joint management of each project. 5. Municipalities would receive In lien o f taxes, an amount equiv alent to normal tax revenues. They also could share the prov inces' 25 percent o f the financing. ! -an't be forecast whether ■s~i provinces will accept the part nership proposal, but all have die-1 •cussed it in a most friendly man-1 ner. 7. It is hoped that the present veterans' rental housing program! can be merged into the plan. Ot tawa would be willing to extend ‘veterans’ preference to any proj-[ ect. 8.

And it is this matter o f interconnection thait sets the tele phone business apart. F or exam ple, power companies have only to transmit their power from central stations TO their customers— they do not have to provide fo r power to go from one customer to another. Because o f the interconnection problem, the complexity o f the telephone system increases faster than the number o f telephones. That’s why the operating coat per telephone tends to go UP instead o f down as the telephone total increases. B. C.
