Two Divers Find Planing Board
Big Aid In Under-water Search
Local irognien Morgan Hartnett
and Ed Jacob have developed
a planing board that is
ideal for underwater searching.
The device is simply a piece of
plywood which is towed behind
a boat. Handles on the top edge
permit the diver to guide the
board easily.
While planing boards have
been used previously they have
been longer and consequently a
diver had difficulty peering out
over the front edge.
"The short board is ideal
where there is any underwater
visibility," explained Morgan
Hartnett. "A diver can ride fairly
well up on the board. The
handles allow him to steer easily
and the board can be directed
up or down by use of the diver's
foot flippers."
.Another advantage in using
the board is that a complete
search can be made of a given
area. The person in charge of
the boat can take shore bearing
and work steadily back and
forth so that no part of the bot­
tom will be missed by a search
ing diver.
The board was used in the
recent search at Dragon Lake
following the boating tragedy
there last September 29.
"It is something like an underwater
surf board," said Mr
Hartnett. "The diver rides with
his head and shoulders over the
front edge. There is no difficulty
towing it behind a boat, and
speeds up searching in addition
to taking out the guesswork."
In free swimming a diver can
move in a circle without realiz
ing it and quite frequently can
miss sections of the bottom cn
tirely.
Ed Jacob, who is on the RCMP
staff here, added that there is
no difficulty in handling the
board. Ed is an experiencced
frogman who spent most of his
spare time diving while station
ed at Powell River.
Morgan Hartnett is a former
Royal Canadian Navy frogman
and had five years' experience
while in the service.

DID YOU KNOW?
The first patent on a suction-type milking
machine was issued to a woman, Anna Baldwin,
in 1878. She used an ordinary water
pump from which suction was applied to the
cow 3 LGats by inserting them through a board
through which four holes had been drilled at
proper intervals and the board placed on
top Gl a shallow pan. The milk was pumped
from the udder exactly as water is pumped
out of a well.
The first DeLaval Milker was placed on the
market in 1918 and continuing research by
the DeLaval organization has resulted in the
successful milking of millions of cows each
day.

living along the Fraser lioad in
this area were very happy to
see the 40 m.p.h. signs pc/sted
along the road from the town

had been submitted to the Department
of Highways a short
time ago requesting the lowering
of the speed limit on this
road, and we extend a hearty
thank you to tlie Department for
such prompt action. It is hoped
the lower speed limit will eliminate
the number of car accidents
that have been occurring
in recent months, with speed being
the main contributing factor.
We would also like to point out
Lhat children playing on the
Fraser Road are in just as much
danger of being struck by a vehicle
traveUing at 40 m.p.h. as
at 50, so we hope that children
who have been playing on the

vices, outlined some of the problems
in these fields which the
department has to face.
There have been some delays
in construction of needed schools
in B.C., but this province has
made "a commendable showing"
during the past decade in providing
classroom accommodation,
said Mr. Graham.
It has spent $50,000,000 on the
construction of more tlian 6.000
classrooms in the past nine
years, more than one-half of all
the classroom accommodation in
the province today, he said.
There were periods when
school construction lagged and
soine criticism was justified, but
•we have kept abreast of accommodation
needs." Mr. Graham
said.
School building costs from 1953
to 1957 rose three per cent per
year. It continued to rise until
1959 when there was a recession
and the cost dropped 10 per
cent, said Mr. Graham. Costs
Five Students
On Degree List
Nearly 600 students will receive
degrees at the University
of British Columbia's autumn
congregation ceremonies which
begin at 2:15 p.m. on Friday,
October 26, at the UBC Armoury.
Students from Quesnel who
will be presented for degrees
are : Roger Henry La Fontaine,
B. Ed. Secondary Program; .Joseph
Edwin Francis Stack, B. Ed.
Secondary Program; John Bruce
Thompson, B. Ed. Secondary
Program; Grace Idelle Hanna,
the Diploma in Public Health

The day preceding the autumn
congregation (today) Dr. John
B. Macdonald will be installed
as president of UBC at a ceremony
opening at 2:15 p.m. at
the armoury.
The fall congregation ceremonies
on Friday will be highlighted
by the conferring of honorary
degrees on four persons.
Honorary Doctor of Laws degrees
will be conferred on Dr.
J. F. K. English, deputy minister
of education for B.C.; Dr.
Claude Bissell, president of the
University of Toronto, and Sir
Ronald Gould, general secretary
of the National Union of Teachers
in Great Britain, who will
also give the congregation address.
The honorary degree of Doctor
of Science will be conferred on
Dr. I. Michael Lerner, a UBC
graduate who is now chairman
of the department of genetics at
the University of California, and
considered one of the world's
leading .geneticists.
Mr. La Fontaine and Mr. Stack
are members of the Quesnel
Secondary School teaching staff.
Ml'. Thompson is on the staff of

Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Hanna, here,
and is currently studying at Mc-
Gill for her Bachelor's degree.
then remained stable until May,
1962, when there was a rapid
rise for about one month before
they t'apered off.
"Throughout B.C., the cost of
an elementary school is about
$400 per pupil, unless you add
an activity room, when it jumps
to S500 per pupil." Junior secondary
schools generally cost
$900 per pupil and senior secondary
schools $1,000 per puiJil,
he said.
The current policy of planning
school buildings allows for more
flexibility and o.xporimentation:
it may even lead to new methods
of construction and the building
of pre-packaged sehools. said
;^Ir. Graham.
Dr. Plenderleith said tiie co.st
of transporting children to and
from schools in B.C. has risen
from $()0,non in 1933 to $417,000
in J947 and $2,659,000 In 19(51.
The department found .'-;omo
time ago tiiat in some school
districts bu.ses were picking up
children within three blocks af
it's time to trade
the school grounds, while in other
districts there were no buses for
children living beyond three
miles of the school.
The walk limit is now two and
a half miles from school for pupils
in Grades 1 to 3, and three
miles for pupils in Grades 4 to
13. The government pays for
transportation costs Ijcyond
these distances. The individual
school board can still provide
service closer if it wants to foot
Uic bill.
A survey in 19()1 .'showed there
were a total of 411 school districtowned
buses, plus 134 buses on
contract; and eight water taxis
carrying 46,7''81 stutlonts a distance
of 33.80(J miles p:'r day
in the province.
If one considers all the special
services provided for the people
who live in isobiled parli; of B.C.,
there is "no place in the En,glish-speaking
world where you
can find more opportunities than
we give them in B.C.." said Dr.
Plenderleith.

The Editorial Page of The Cariboo Observer, Quesnel, British Columbia, Thursday October 25, 1962
Members of town council are on the
horns of a real dilemma. It is one that
will not easily be solved and may eventually
end up in some sort of compromise.
The problem arose last week when
Alderman Tingley presented proposals
for the 1962-63 winter works program.
Included in his list were such things
as relocating the Little League ball
park, erection of a permanent tourist
bureau building, revamping of the
senior league ball park and continuation
of the town sidewalk construction
program.
AU these suggestions were of merit
and under the winter works program
a considerable portion of the labor
costs can be received through a sharing
program with the federal and provincial
governments.
But the rub developed when Alderman
Ritchie raised the point that
the town also needs more equipment.
He felt that this should be given a
real hard look, since equipment is essential
if services are to be maintained.
As the - town continues to expand
there are more and more streets and
lanes which require attention. It was
pointed out that the town grader is
now too light for the volume of work
it is required to handle.
The blacktopping program which
A Real Dilemma
was carried out this summer will place
an additional load on show removal
equipment this winter, and a serious
look will have to be taken into more
efficient ways of handling this very
necessary job.
Before a definite program is set
council members will be spending long
hours pouring over the pros and cons
of the situation.
Not to take advantage of the savings
which can be realized through participation
in the winter works program
is a difficult decision to make. On the
other hand it would be equally disasterous
to end up in a position where
town crews would be imable to handle
the growing load of maintenance work.
Financing of winter works is another
problem. While the senior governments
are pledged to contribute to certain approved
works it is sometimes months
before their contribution is received
and this, in turn, places a load on town
finances.
One thing is sure, council members
will be prying into all facets of the
situation for the next few weeks at
least, since most of the projected winter
works are steps that will have to
be delayed until early spring, which
gives them time for a third and fourth
look if necessary.
Forest Products Week
The period of October 21 to 27 is
being observed throughout Canada and
the United States as Forest Products
Week. It provides a splendid opportun- '
ity to remind British Columbians once
again, that nowhere on this vast continent
is the abundance of the forests
more valuable, and more essential to
our good way of life than right here,
says a message from Forests Minister
Ray Williston,
Last year the total value of forest
production in the Province reached
$774 million, higher than ever before in

The public has been expressing interest
in interest, the payment exacted
by businessmen for waiting for the
return of money for goods sold. Complete
disclosure of all charges made in
this connection has been demanded.
The other side to this question of
keeping goods flowing into the hands
of consumers has been touched on in
the Canadian Senate this year. Senators
have debated the Finance Charges
(Disclosure) Bill at length during
which much useful information has
come to the fore.
The happy people who pay cash and
thereby keep their first-of-month mail
to a minimum, will not be troubled by
this debate. There still are left enough
residents to whom this matter of interest
is of concern. Few complaints are
heard locally about concealed charges
and one is led to believe that a full explanation
is there for the asking,
which is as it should be.
The senators discussed sale of a $20
batttery, without any down payment,

over a period of 46 days, carrying a
finance charge of $2, which they found

one family in every five

bounty.
The job of the B.C. Forest Serviceis
not only to administer and maintain
our forests, but to sustain them for
later generations of Canadians. The job
of industry is to continue its unrelenting
search for new uses and new markets
for our forest product to the ultimate
benefit of all.
The zeal and co-operation of all Canadians
are essential if these objectives
are to succeed. None have more to gain

answer, which contains sound reasoning
and will enable readers to view the
problem of interest in a fairer way:
"The service station that sold the battery
can not exist on the sale of one
battery; it sells hundreds, perhaps
thousands of batteries. Let us say they
sell 100 batteries to similar customers,
on similar terms.
"It is a foregone conclusion that
some of 100 customers will walk in on
due dates and make their payments.
It is also a foregone conclusion that
many will be late, that some will never

at great expense — and that some of
the money will never be collected.

to lose more than $200, which he

Fixing Vocation Program Difficult
Education Minister L. R. Peterson
told B.C. School Trustees
.Association he welcomes the
critical interest school trustees
are displaying in junior colleges
and vocational education, when
he addressed the BCSTA delegates
at the convention in Victoria
last v/eek.
There has been some criticism
of progress in connection with
vocational units in secondary
schools, but the basic problem
is still to determine what kind
of facilities should be constructed
and what kind of program
should be offered, said Mr. Peterson.
"It is easy to say, 'Train our
students as mechanics or car­
penters'—but we must appreciate
that the advances made in
this scientific world in recent
years have changed the kind of
skills required by our young
peope.
"For instance, modern methods
of construction have reduced
the proportion of carpenters
needed. Too many of us are inclined
to dismiss the space age
technology as a sort of. Buck
Rogers fantasy, but the space
age is here and it is here to
stay.
"This means that our students
must have a better grasp of
basic or inner core subjects than
has been the case heretofore,
which brings into play the en-
Cattlemen Have A Beef
Although today's consumer has
more money to spend than he
had ten years ago, he is spending
a smaller proportion oh beef and
the cattleman actually is receiving
less for his beef, according
to the B.C. Beef Cattle Growers'
Association.
The 1100 members Association
says it endorses the recent statement
by the Council of Canadian
Beef Producers which reads: "If
there is a 'gravy train' in the
beef industry, the cattle producer
is not on it."
Julian Fry, Secretary of the
B.C. Association, notes that in
the past 20 years wages have
risen faster than food prices but
the total volume of food consumed
per capita has not increased.
The fact that there are many
more semi-durable items per capita,
such as cars, refrigerators,
and washing machines, than
there were 20 years ago, substantiates
this, says Mr. Fry.
The price of good steers alive
at Calgary in September, 1951,
was $33.47 for 100 pounds. At that
time, the industrial composite of
weekly wages and salaries in
British Columbia was $52.93. Mr.
Fry notes that the average price
of good steers alive at Calgary in
September this year was $26.60
per 100 pounds, and the same industrial
composite of weekly
wage and salaries for B.C. stands
at $87.00.
If the cost of slaughtering and
retailing cattle has increased
since 1951 this is not the fault of
cattle producers. Meanwhile,
packers claim on 1/6 of a cent
profit per pound. No figures are
available for retail margins, but
it is obvious the spread between
the live price of beef and the
price at the counter must be
largely controlled by the cost of
all labour involved and transportation.
The B.C. Beef Cattle Association
points out that the public
in recent times has been educated
to buy "red" and "blue"
brand beef. Here the fat has
been cut off in the amount of
20 per cent of the carcass weight.
A grain shortage has led to a reduced
supply of "red" and "blue"
brand, which, in turn, has pushed
consumer prices higher, the Association
concludes.
tire reorganization of our secondary
school program," said
the minister.
'For the present at least, we
do not look to our public schools
to provide skilled tradesmen."
' This year the province will
more than double its expenditure
on vocational training, to about
$5,000,000.
Mr. Peterson said he was
working with Ottawa to obtain
an extension to the March 31,
1963 deadline for 75 per cent
federal contribution to new vocational
training facilities.
Abo^it community colleges, he
said, "I look upon decentralization
of higher education as a
means of extending equal educational
opportunity." But the
only decentralization so far was
the expansion of senior matricu­
lation classes (equivalent to the
first year of university) and the
development of Victoria College.
"Boards of school trustees
should not be at all hesitant in
providing Grade 13 where the
need exists, as long as the appropriate
staff and facilities can
be secured and high standards
of education maintained," he advised.
"Nor should the present method
of finance restrict the establishment
of senior matriculation
classes. Generous capital grants
are available on the same basis
as grants to elementary and
secondary schools."
Mr. Peterson complimented
University of B.C. President
Macdonald on the survey he is
making of provincial needs in
higher education.
He said it is true that because
of recent conditions in the bond
market the government was
anxious to limit school borrowing
to the most urgent needs.
"Yet, notice that up to September
of this year building was
about $3,000,000 ahead of what
it was for the same period last
year—about $12,500,000 campar-
Wood Harvest of the Future
This young forest (left) will not be ready for the harvest until after the year 2000 A.D.
Yet because it represents Canada's woodland wealth of tomorrow, the speed and manner of
its development are important to all Canadians, Today through such methods as soil analysis
(right), foresters are learning more than ever before about tree growth, and their studies are
constantly bearing fruit.
To remind Canadians of their dependence on these woodlands, and of the efforts
made to manage them effectively, National Forest Products Week is currently being held.
From the forest comes, for example, the raw material of the pulp and paper industry,
Canada's leading producer, wage payer, and exporter.
THE PRESS GALLERY
James K. Nesbitt Reports
by James K. Nesbitt
It was my privilege in recent
days to meet many of the editors
and publishers of British Columbia,
gathered in convention in
this, your capital city.
In them, and their wives, I saw
this whole vast province spread
out before me, from the populous
Fraser Valley to the far-flung
regions of the Peace, up north
to Omineca and down along the
United States border.
And I reflected that thes2 men
and women have as much to do
with the development of British
Columbia as the policies of government
in Victoria. For these
editors and publishers, with their
pioneering instincts, and their
faith in their communities, wield
tremendous influence, and largely
they help give a community
its own individual atmosphere.
They lielp mould public opinion,
and so there is heavy respon.sibii'ity
upon lliem. They must
not be hot heads, flying off all
over the place. They must be
.students of current events, and of
iiistory, too: they must be father
confessors, and they must, of
course, be good bu.siness men, or
they would soon starve. In other
words they must be the very
pillars of their communities.
Without them and their papers,
a community would be a poor,
drab place indeed, a sort of body
without blood in its veins. It's
the weekly newspaper that welds
a community, makes it a neighborly,
friendly place in which to
live.
These folk come to their annual
conventions with all the
dash and enthusiasm of people
who live in smallish places. I
sometimes think they are more
peppy than big-city folk; They
arc full of ideas, and plenty of
argument too. These conventions
of weekly newspapermen are de-
JAMES K. NESBITT
signed so that they might better
their papers and their services
to the public. They listen to lectures
on newspapering, they
share experiences, they hold
round-table discussions and visit
big-city print shops and newspaper
offices. Most important, I
think, is that they fraternize, and
out of this should come knowledge
and better days for British
Columbia.
Every now and then I go into
the Provincial Library in the Parliament
Buildings here and I run
through tlie weeklies of this province.
They're a bright and attractive
and fighting bunch. They
are always campaigning for
something — better roads and
bridges, better buildings, new
street lights or sidewalks. They
prod the politicians into action,
roast Ihem or praise them as the
occasion demands. There is nothing
they ignore when it comes
to public good. That is why they
arc a power.
At the convention it was not all
hard work. They relaxed, talking
shop all the while, of course;
some of them I saw doing the
twist in the Empress Hotel's ballroom.
And they went home vowing
Victoria's so beautiful' they'll retire
here, which they'll not do,
for no newspaperman worth his
salt ever retires until the copF>ers
are put on his tired eyes
ed to $9,500,000, an increase of
more than 30 per cent.
"Last year, sometliing under
.$5,000,000 worth of contracts
were let between September and
December. In order to equal
last year's figure, we shall need
to let contracts to the amount
of less than $2,000,000 between
now and the end of the year."
In connection with school costs,
he noted that to provide new
text books written by Canadians
in only four subject areas cost
the government $189,000.
There are times when reasonable
restraint must be shown in
expanding and improving our
schools, the minister warned. "I
believe that the present is such
a time. The financial crisis that
has plagued Canada this year is
not a figment of some politician's
imagination—it is a very
real one. We have an obligation
to stretch to the limit every tax
dollar we spend."
Number of pupils in B.C. has
tripled in 30 years, the number
of teachers has slightly more
than tripled and cost of education
has increased more than 13
times, Mr. Peterson said.
"May we have the kind of
courage that will not be daunted
by these obstacles—the kind of
initiative, imagination and sense
of responsibility that will enable
us to provide the best possible
education for the least possible
cost," the minister urged.
Letters to Editor
AGREES WITH DIRECTOR
The Editor,
Cariboo Observer.
Sir:—In the October 11 issue
of The Cariboo Observer you
printed "Fiery Criticism of Fair
Operation" by one of the Fair
directors.
I heartily endorse the criticism,
as I think this year's Fair
was a disgrace. It costs only
50 cents to enter the PNE where
fully two days are required to
look over the exhibits, yet entry
fee to the Quesnel Fair costs a
man and wife $1.50 where a careful
scrutiny takes a mere 15
minutes.
But to lash out against those
exhibitors who did make an effort
to support the Fair is poor
business. I hope the school teachers
and pupils read that their
efforts were "rubbish," and that
next year no school in the area
will submit itself to such impugnment.
I have been told that a little
trailer school with eight pupils,
65 miles away from Quesnel,
made some animals last spring,
and were asked to put them in
the Fall Fair. .As there was no
place to store them over the
summ.er they became a bit
dusty, faded, and lost an ear or
so on the trip to town. So the
teacher and pupils were flattered
to see the account that it
was "rubbish."
I would suggest to the directors
of the Fair that they contact
the District Superintendent of
Education and ask him to organize
the School Section for next
year. He has complete control
of everything to do with the
school system in this district.
Such authority would not have
been delegated to him unless he
had been fully trained and had
a wealth of experience jn every
phase of the educational field.
He would be the logical person
to make a real success of the
School Section next year.
(Mrs.) AGNES POSNIKOFF.

The
Bystander
The other day. despite my'
normally dipLomatic attitude, I
was dr'awn into an argument in
the spsUing of the name of Russia's
leader, one Nikita Sergeivitch
Kruschev. A little later on
r got to thinking how little we
know, or are told, about the man
who controls the destinies of
millions.
His opposite number J.F.K.
is well documented, in fact "over
done," might be a better description,
in every magazine,
and newspaper. Even his wife's
dress designer has become a public
figure and her hair style the
pattern for all women who want
to be "in" this season.
Luckily I found a paperback
book by Ray Hastie. who spent
years in Moscow as a newspaperman,
entitled "The Life and
Times of Nikita Kruschev."
There can be no doubt that
Kruschev, with
his tough background
in the
Don Valley coal
mines, and his
studies at the
Workers University
is in an advantageousposition
when j t
comes to the intrigues
of international
politics.
In Canada and the U.S. to fail
at lan election means disappointment
and a return to your old
job and at the very worst you
lose your deposit if you don't
get the votes. If you didn't get
the nod in the old Stalin regime
it meant you went through the
process of a denunciation and
trial which was little better thair
ritual murder.
To have merely survived
in politics in the U.S.S.R.
means that we are dealing with
a master of politics who has got
to the top not by popular whim,
but by the most deadly and dangerous
process in modern society.
All Soviet politicians are professionals
in that they have served
all their lives in some administrative
position within the
government. Nikita Kruschev
came through the ranks of the
coal mines, agriculture and construction.
He rebuilt Moscow
with Bulganin and is responsible
for the ornate decorations in the
subway there.
Like John Kennedy he had a
distinguished war record and
emerged as one of the heroes of
Stalingrad.
Despite his constant sabrerattling
and attempts to perk up
the cold war the general consensus
of opinion is that he is
essentially a man who wants
peace. He needs peace to bring
his country's agriculture and industry
into full flavour. From a
practical standpoint it would be
much easier for him to disarm
the forces because he can ill afford
to help the men he has under
arms, he needs them in the
steel mills and on the farms.
This is in contrast to our setup
where any change in the status
quo would result in chaos.
The overall picture one gets
from Mr. Hastie's book is that
Mr. Kruschev has struggled hard
for himself and his fellows and
he will not give up all he has
achieved in the madness of an
atomic war.

Linseed Oil Helps
In Point Jobs
The smart home handyman
long ago discovered the many
uses for linseed oil.
Linseed oil is the versatile
work horse around the house,
and the degree of professionalism
of a do-it-yourselfer can be
measured by the number of
ways he uses the oil.
It is available both raw and
boiled. Raw linseed oil can take
up to four days to dry while
the boiled product dries quickly.
Linseed oil is used to turn ordinary
house paint into a primer
coat, but be sure to check the
manufacturer's instructions before
going ahead.
Use the raw oil to re.juvenate
old putty that is too hard to
work with. Add the oil and work
it into the putty until it is pliable.
Use boiled oil to soak the bristles
of a new paint brush. Soak
for 24 hours and the brush will
be more pliable and easier to
use.
Linseed oil is also one of the
best wood preservatives. Brush
the oil on unpainttd fence pickets
and posts every year.
Weekend Time To Refurbish
Weathered Patio Equipment
Outdoor furniture should be
refurbished now, and not next
spring.
Spread the work, out over the
rainy days which are coming
when it is impossible to finish
preparing the garden for winter.
Then store the equipment in a
dry garage, shed or basement,
secure in the knowledge that
there will be no last-minute rush
to put chairs, tables and other
equipment in shape in May.
WELL SCRUBBED
Much equipment is now made
of metal, and each piece should
be cleaned thoroughly. Use a
stiff brush. Then scrub all rust
spots down to the metal using
sandpaper or rust remover. Wipe
off thoroughly and give the rest
of the mstal a sandpaper brushing
if you are applying paint.
Apply a metal undercoat to rusted
areas and then apply red lead,
aluminum paint or a new rustinhibiting
paint.
The finish can be a good quality
enamel, sprayed or brushed
on.
Home Financing Hints
Q. What is an NHA mortgage
loan and who may apply for
one?
A. An NHA mortgage loan is
the form of financial assistance
provided by approved lending institutions
to prospective homeowners
and insured by the Federal
government through Central
Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
The NHA loan provides
funds equal to a high proportion
of the value of the property,
moderate interest rate, a repayment
period up to 35 years
and convenient monthly payments.
By giving your house and
land as security, you may obtain
a loan from an approved

Lighting Is
Improved
For. Homes
Home buyers are recognizing
more and more the value of
good lighting inside and outside
a house. They want to "decorate"
with liglit, to use fixtures,
and floodlights, and dimmers to
display their homes to the best
advantage, to create a mood
rather than a monotony in and
around their homes. Through
the intensive nationwide Medalion
Home Program, the building
industry is placing added
emphasis on lighting, along with
other qualities of electrical excellence.
In line with this program,
home buyers now have the widest
choice ever in lighting possibilities.
Fixtures which concentrate
ght actually can be used as
effective room dividers. Fluorescent
lamps under frosted glass
tops can be trained on walls
from bookcases or shelves.
Floodlamps in swivel reflectors
can be aimed at draperies
covering window walls and. by
controlling these with dimmers,
variations in the appearance and
feeling of a room can be obtained.
/\n almost infinite vario(y
of iightinji effects can bo
aciiieveci from the dimmer control,
from off-whites lo blazing
sunset colors.
Pull-down fixtures provide

sured mortgage loans under
NHA. If you are a resident of
Canada, are financially responsible
and have sufficient income
to meet the monthly payments of
principal, interest and taxes,
you may apply for an NHA loan.
Q. When building with a National
Housing Act loan, must
the down payment be entirely in
cash?
A. No. The down payment
may be a combination of cash,
land and labor. For example, if a
prospective home-owner already
owns the lot on which the house
is to be built, the value of the
lot can represent part of the
necessary equity. Tlie borrower
also will be given credit for any
work he plans to do on the house.
In this case, the value of his
labor is determined by Central
Mortgage and Housing Corporation
or by the approved lender
in the case of an insured loan,
and would depend on the amount
of work he intends doing and his
skill in the various house building
trades.
Point Freshens
Awning Colors
An awning's faded dyes cannot
be renewed, but the colors
can be freshened by painting.
Awning cloth can be painted
with a house paint thinned with
one-fourth as much turpentine.
Paint should be applied in a thin
coat and brushed into the fibres.
The awning should have dried
thoroughly before it is handled
again.
A tent and awning paint which
does not require any thinning
is also sold in some paint stores.

it is best to remove the

Should Wait
Garbage cans and other objects
made of galvanized metal
should not be painted immediately
after purchase.
Paint will not adhere to the
new galvanized surface, so it is
wise to wait about six months for
the metal io weather.
There is no danger of rusting
during this weathering period as
the zinc coating is there to prevent
such deterioration.
But if you must paint the cans
earlier, your paint seller has
special primers.
Or you can etch the surface
by artificial weathering. Wipe
the container with vinegar. Then
rinse quickly with clear water
and rinse with a solvent. Then
apply ordinary paint.

Check List: Homeowner
Has Many Fall Jobs
Autumn has arrived with its
seasonal rains, heralding colder
weather and possibly snow for
the Evergreen Playground.
The threat of this weather is
also the signal for the homeowner
to do some checking
around the house and yard to
make sure that all is ship-shape.
Here is a check-list:
Replace the filters in your
furnace if they are dirty. Check
the motor on the blower and replace
the V-belt if it is worn. If
the flame of the oil or gas burner
is yellow and smokey, the serviceman
should be called in to
iTiake a better fuel-air mix ad-
.iustment.
Clean soot out of the smokepipe.
If you burn coal, clean the
soot from the inside of the fire
pit with a stiff brush.
On the next windy day make
a close inspection of the roof to
see if any shingles are fliapping.
Replace any that are broken,
and use roofing~cement to fix the
loose ones.
Check the flashing and seal
the edges with roof coating.
Cover any holes with asphalt
paint, a natch of canvas or glass
fibre, and another coat of as-
Dhalt.
Burned Fuses
Changed SafeJy
If Care Is Taken
Care should be taken to replace
a burned out fuse.
Always throw the main switch
and keep a flashlight handy to
change fuses in darkness.
Keep a rubber mat handy to
stand on while changing the
fuse, especially if the fuse box
is in the basement where it may
be damp.
The burned out fuse can be
recognized by the burned spot
on the mica window in the cap,
or it may show the melted fuse
strip inside the mica.
Premier Pays Tribute
To Forest Industry
The Government of British
Columbia is delighted to assist
the forest industries of the province,
along with those of the
rest of Canada and the United
States, in marking Forest Products
Week from October 21 to
27, states Premier Bennett.
Most British Columbians are
aware that our forests are our
greatest resource and our greatest
source of wealth. We are indebted
to the men who manage
and sustain them for today's
wealth and tomorrow's, and to
the leaders of the industrial complex
that transforms this great
natural resource into the thousands
of products so essential to
human existence and human
comfort.
Every citizen has a stake in
their continued success.
With Canada entering its most
critical period of world trade,
and with forest products representing
a greater dollar value
than any other category of exports
($1,639 million in 1961), it
T h e r e ' s a
is understandable why B.C.'s
forests are a vital factor in the
national economy.
Thirty per cent of all these exports
come from British Columbia
arid the total is likely to increase
despite current market
problems.
In the first half of this year,
pulp and paper production outstripped
that in the first half of
1961. Lumber and plywood are
ahead of last year in both volume
and price. The estimated
value of plant expansion and repair
in the industry this year is
$135.8 million, a figure only exceeded
three times since 1950.
Thus the forest industries are
one of the keys to our continued
prosperity. During Forest Products
Week I am happy to pay
this tribute to our great forest
industries.
All associated with the one industry
which can truly be said
to be the bulwark of British Coumbia's
economy.
HEAT THIEF
in y o u r attic
stealing heating dollars!
This notorious thief has victimized innocent homeowners
for years, robbing them of fuel dollars and
comfort. He's in your attic right now if your insulation
thickness is less than the 4" fuel saving level.
What to do? Measure your attic insulation.
If it's less than 4" thick, see us for Zonolite. We'll show
you how easy it is to beat the Heat Thief forever by
pouring lightweight Zonolite right over the existing
insulation.
We'll show you how about $50 in extra Zonolite can
bring you a return of 15% to 28% on your investment
— not only the first year, but every year.

Challenge Of The Scripture:
" Have Faith In God "
Mark 11:22 Have faith in God.
Tliis is one of the most challleoging
verses of scripture in the
Bible. The Bible tells us that
"Without faith it is impcssible to
please Him. Have you ever wondered
v.'hat you do when you do
not have faith in God. Let me illustrate.
Mr. Charles V/esley.
that great man of God. was once
engaged in a very great conference
with some of his associates.
• They were discussing the subject
of faith. No one was able
to give a satisfactory definition.
At last they called in a woman
who was known to possess deep
spirituality and strong good
sense. Wlien she was asked what
faith was she promptly replied.
"It is taking God at His word."
Friend, that is it. When we do
not have faith in God we are saying
we do not believe he is able.
The more you get to knew a person
the more you can judge
whether he can be trusted or not.
"I think I've seen more
folks make wrong decisions
because they were angry
than because of ignorance."

If a person you have known consistently
comes late for engagements
you will find it hard to
accept him when he says, "I'll
be there for sure this time and
I won't be tardy." On the other
hand if one always lives up to
what he says he will do, he gains
your confidence and you believe
him when he speaks.
It is true with God. The Bible
says, "Faith cometli by hearing
and hearing by the word of God.
As you read His word and you
listen to it ministered, your faith
will increase. What does it mean,
"Have faith in God?" It means
believe Him, take Him at His
word. Friend, it is not man
speaking but it is the all mighty
God, the Creator of the univer.se,
and the one that is holy, loving,
kind, righteous that is speaking
to you and telling you to believe
in Him. There is a chorus we
sing so often that I like and the
simple words are "Only believe,
only believe, all things are possible
only believe." The Bible
says with God nothing is impossible.
Jesus said, if thou wouldst
believe, thou wouldst see the
glory of God. A Scotch woman
was once introduced as Mrs. so
and so, the woman of great
faith. "No," she said, "I am a
woman of little faith, but with a
great God."
D. L. Moody, that man that
was so used of the Lord at the
turn of the century, wrote, "I
prayed for faith, and thought
that som.e day faith would come
down and strike me like lightning.
But faith did not seem to
come. One day I read faith cometh
by hearing and hearing by
the word of God." As he saw
what God was 'able to do when
he read His word he believed it
and took Him at His word. That
is faith. You might be saying, I

THE CHURCH FOR ALI
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor on
earth for the building of character aod
good citizenship. It is a storehouse of
spiritual values. Without a strong
Church, neither democracy nor civilization
can survive. There are four
sound reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and support
the Church. They are: (I) For his
own sake. (2) For his children's sake.
(3) For the sake of his community
and nation. (4) For the sake of the
Church itself, which needs his moral
and material support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your Bible

Almost every frightening step of childhood is marked by a singular emblem
of trust. A child's trembling fingers grope upward. A parent's warm
grasp is felt. And youth steps forward into new paths, fear melting into
confidence.
God must count on parental hands to lead His little ones to Him. For religious
training is part of the vast unknown until Mother and Dad begin
to lead their child each week to Church.
Yes! God counts heavily on our hands. There is no one else into whose
palm our child's fingers slip so readily. No others can teach the early lessons
of faith and prayer so simply, nor illustrate them so vividly at home.
Indeed, that loving hand of trust which leads a child to Church seems
in turn to be clasped by the hand of God,
