Squamish Review

Squamish Review: Wednesday, August 11, 1948

BUILDERS MUST HAVE PERMITS; COMMISSIONERS PLAN BYLAWS
In future, all those planning to erect any building in Squamish are required to obtain a building permit from the commissioners of the village. Those taking out permits must conform to regulations laid down in bylaws passed by the Board of Commissioners.
The board is now working on the consolidation of the map showing the plan of the incorporated area. The municipality now takes in the area from the high water mark on the south to Pemberton Road on the north, and from 7th Street on the west to the east branch of the Squamish River. The population of the incorporated area is roughly 600.
Sanitation, trade license and traffic bylaws are under consideration.
The commissioners are now investigating and considering the replacement of present timber sidewalks with hard-surfaced walks.

SALVATION ARMY OFFICIAL HERE FOR FUND DRIVE
Adjutant S.A. Mundey of the Salvation Army Public Relations department, Vancouver has been visiting Squamish and district in connection with the Annual Red Shield Apeal.
The purpose of Adjutant Mundey's trip here was to thank local residents for their support in previous campaigns and at the same time conduct the annual canvas.
The appreciation of the Army for the assistance of Mr W. Harvey and his local committee was expressed by Adjutant Mundey.

SQUAMISH LEGION NEWS, BRANCH NO. 115
The Legion Branch here is undertaking a drive for new members. All veterans wishing to join please get in touch with the secretary, James Woodward. All members are requested to have their dues paid up as soon as possible.
Don't forget the Legion Dances every Saturday night. Modern music by our local orchestra. All monies are used for the benefit of needy veterans and bereaved widows that are in need of assistance.
Remember the gala party on 14th of August. An invitation has been extended to the branches at Woodfibre and Britannia. This is to promote better community spirit between the three branches.
The Legion women are also extended an invitation.
Credit is given to Jack Mahood and the sports committee for their interest in helping the Pro-Rec with junior softball teams. They are advocating games with the Juniors at Britannia and Woodfibre. Let's give them our support. Games on ever Monday night.
The Legion also extend their appreciation to the women of the W.A. for their help in the Legion's recent Benefit Whist Drive and Flood Relief Dance.
They certainly are a credit to our branch. Thank you, ladies.
Our softball team is getting in the lead again. Here's hoping the next game will see them in the running for first place. Come on, fellows, let's get behind the team.
Because of petrol rationing, horse-drawn coaches are in evidence again in England.

RECREATIONAL ASSOCIATION WILL GET FAIR PROCEEDS
Plans for the Squamish Valley Fall Fair and Labor Day, are being enlarged and the committee feels confident the project will be a success.
This will be the first Fall Fair since 1939 and much preparation must be made to organize it.
In former years the farmers and the Women's Institute were the sponsors. The Squamish Recreational Association is staging the fair this year. The proceeds will be used to buy equipment for the association.
The program will include sports events, the country fair, and bingo and other games. A large dance with a local orchestra supplying the music will be the big feature in the evening.
The Country Fair, principal attraction of the day, will have a large prize list. Local grown produce, flowers, handicrafts and various other exhibits will be on display.

CAN YOU PLAY AN INSTRUMENT?
Anyone who can play any type of band instrument is asked to contact Jack Pearce at McKenzie's who is organizing a Squamish band.
If you have an instrument all the better but if you can play one come along and an instrument will be provided. Can you play a flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, alto horn, trombone, baritone or basedrum, snare drum or any other band instrument.
All interested in the formation of a Squamish Band are welcomed.

BALL PARK AND PLAYGROUND IN SERVICE NEXT SEASON
The Community Centre Committee met on August 4th, to discuss plans for the project.
Plans include the hope of constructing a baseball park and kiddies' playground this year while the long range objective includes the building of tennis courts and a full sized swimming pool.
The project also calls for the erection of a war memorial on a portion of the park set aside for that purpose. Park benches, picnic tables, swings and teeter totters will also be provided.
Work on the park is being done as a community effort and four acres have been cleared at little or no cost. Grass has yet to be planted and it is expected that the playground and baseball diamond will be in service next year.
A park board has been set up with seven members of the Board of Trade and one member each from the Canadian Legion, P.-T.A., B.P.O.E., Women's Auxiliary to the Legion, Squamish Recreational Association, and the P.G.E. Employees' Association.
Among those on the board are: Chairman C.H. Smith, Mrs. Rose Tatlow, J.I. Morrison, G. Dent, P. Drenka, A. Hendrickson, G. Aalton, R. Binnings, J. Woodward, R. Chapman and Mrs. J.R. Morrison.
The committee wishes on behalf of the community to extend thanks to those who donated their services and material.
The park and centre is a community enterprise and citizens are urged to support the program in every way possible.

IMPERIAL GARAGE PROPERTY PURCHASED BY CARL SMITH
The building housing the Imperial Service Garage has been purchased from F.B. Scott by Carl H. Smith who has been renting the garage for the past two years. Additional space will provide a stockroom and showroom for tires and accessories as well as office accommodation.
Mr Scott is returning to his former office opposite Yarwood's Drug Store, where he will carry on his insurance and real estate business.
The real estate office will also be occupied by Watt Hendrickson Logging Company who have taken over the building. Remodelling of office is now under way.

NEW TAXI STAND FOR SQUAMISH
A taxi stand and waiting room will be erected on the lot adjoining McKenzie's warehouse on Cleveland Avenue.
The property was recently purchased by Johnson and Worthington. Work on the new building is expected to commence soon.

REMODELLED SQUAMISH CAFE NOW OPERATED BY FORMER OWNERS
After a year's absence, Larry and Audrey Cameron are back again operating the Squamish Cafe. As before the Camerons are playing host to a crowd of old friends and well wishers.
The cafe looks spic and span with its color scheme of soft blue and rose. The seating arrangement is nicely planned and it is a pleasure to have a meal or snack in such a cheerful atmosphere.
Not to be overlooked is the sign over the door, which has a sketch of Mount Garibaldi under the lettering.

ROMANTIC MEETING IN EUROPE LEADS TO MARRIAGE OF LOCAL GIRL
Leonard, Texas shares honors with Squamish in the marriage of Frances A. Scott daughter of Mr and Mrs Frank B. Scott to Captain Paul Williams U.S. Army.
Entering the church on the arm of her father who gave her in marriage, the bride looked lovely in her period gown of white slipper satin fashioned in bustle effect, slightly en train, with sweetheart neckline and lily point sleeves. Her embroidered veil cascaded from a tiara of seed pearls and she carried a shower bouquet of red roses and gardenias. For something old she wore a pearl necklace and earrings belonging to her aunt Mrs Smith of Kingston, Washington.
She was attended by her sister Mrs Matt Phillips of Tacoma, Washington who was gowned in blue taffeta with embossed taffeta bodice. Her bouquet was of deep pink carnations. Mr Phillips was best man.
The bridesmaids were Patricia McCormack in green; Theresa Martin in yellow; Ruth Morrison in blue; and Shirley Roberts the brides niece in pink. Their gowns similarly fashioned in bouffant style were of taffeta with matching headdress and mitts. They carried cascade bouquets of carnations in contrasting colors.
Mrs Scott mother of the bride wore rosewood crepe in the new mode, with cocoa brown accessories.
During the signing of the register Mrs Skarzynski sang "Because." Nuptial music was given by Mrs A. McRae.
The ushers were Raymond Rebagliotte, Patrick Brennan, Roy Binning and the bride's nephew Earl Phillips of Tacoma, Washington.
The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion.
The reception was held in the Parish Hall. The decoration scheme was carried out in Pastel Sweet Peas and pink roses, the bride's table having a large centerpiece of sweet peas flanked by pink tapers in silver sconces. The toast to the bride was given by Mr J.R. Morrison.
The groom's gift to the bride was a diamond set ring and to the ushers gold tie pins. From the bride, the bridesmaids received gold necklaces.
For going away the bride wore a three piece suit of dove grey crepe fur trimmed with raspberry colored accessories and mauve orchid corsage.
The honeymoon will be spent in a leisurely motor trip, which will include a visit to the groom's parents Mr and Mrs Geo. S. Williams of Leonard, Texas.
The bride a graduate of Wyoming Girls School in Wyoming Ohio has travelled extensively. She was in Honolulu when Pearl Harbor was attacked and since the war has travelled in Holland, France, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Germany. It was while a guest of her brother-in-law and sister Major and Mrs Merle Reynolds that she met Captain Williams.

RECITAL AT UNITED CHURCH ENJOYED BY CONGREGATION
Following the service in Squamish United Church Sunday evening, Mr Gunnar Anderson of Bellingham Washington, who is the guest of Mr and Mrs B. Valde, gave a short piano recital.
His rendition was very much appreciated by the congregation. Included in Mr Anderson's recital were Consolation in D flat by Liszt, The Spinners by Phene, Baton Espani cani by Copeland and Polaniae in A Flat Major by Chopin.
To conclude the recital Mr and Mrs George Ellis of Calgary sang "When You Come to the End of a Perfect Day."

My Bonnie lies over the sea;
When she writes of undying devotion,
My Bonnie lies, obviously.

Mr I. Boomer is acting superintendent of the P.G.E. until a successor to Mr Miller is appointed.

EDITORIAL
Great opportunity lies before Squamish. Squamish and the Pacific Great Eastern Railway are becoming familiar names all over the continent and with the much discussed possibility of the extension of the P.G.E. to Alaska, much interest is being taken in this community. Tremendous mineral and timber wealth lies on our doorstep and the door is opening to opportunity.
With this issue we present the Squamish Review an independent newspaper devoted to the interests of Squamish. We are making the Review your newspaper, giving our readers all the and opening its columns to public opinion. The Review will support any movement that fosters the interests and promotes the development of Squamish.
The building of a newspaper like the development of a town or city takes time, but we have faith in the future of Squamish and with it the future of the Review.

A recommendation was made to the School Board asking them to take note of the crowded conditions at the Squamish School and to make plans to erect: a high school building to alleviate this situation. The purchase of a house to be rented to a high school teacher was also advised.
Mrs. McRae reported that the School Board was fully aware of the local situation. At the present, they were awaiting the completion of the road to Britannia, after
which 15 high school pupils from Britannia might attend Squamish High School instead of going up to Britannia Mines. At present, plans for school buildings had been sent for by the Board.

Dr. Wilkinson was the guest speaker at the P.T.A. Meeting held in the school on November 10th.
It was decided to write a letter to the School Board asking that a public health nurse for the whole school district be appointed.
On Thursday, December 16th. the school will hold open house and Mr. Hayes extended a hearty invitation to all parents and friends to come to the school and see the children at work. Each room is making a special effort to offer something interesting to the visitors. The next meeting on December 9th. will be in the form of a Xmas party for members and their friends.
Dr. Wilkinson gave a very interesting talk on children's teeth, with special emphasis on the much discussed fluorine treatments. As a result of lengthy research the Dental Association recently pronounced these treatments to be
40% effective in preventing decay of children's teeth. The dentist surprised his audience by pronouncing himself whole-heartedly in favour of gum chewing, because of the beneficial action of the chewing. In fact, he went so far as to favor tobacco chewing, although no mention was made of the effect of the tobacco on the stomach. Fortunately very few men were present at the meeting.

FIRE AT WATSON SIDING CLAIMS AGED MAN'S LIFE
A veteran of World War I, Edmond Peter Harold, aged 70, lost his life in a disastrous fire at Watson Siding, 20 miles north along the P.G.E. Railway. At this point, the Jamieson Construction Co. operates a work train of eight cars. The men employed are engaged in repairing the railways telephone lines.
As the north bound freight with Engineer Eadie at the throttle approached the siding at approximately 11:45 p.m. on Sunday, November 21st, brakeman Sinley McRae noticed the kitchen car on fire. He immediately aroused the sleeping men, while the remainder of the train crew pulled the six cars not yet burning out of the danger zone. Camp workers and train men attacked the fire by means of a fire pump and the engine hose.
According to witnesses the flames appeared hottest in the vicinity of the kitchen stove, but soon spread to the dining car.
Concern for the cook who was missing led to a search of his quarters at the end of the kitchen car. Not finding him there, the men were certain that he must have escaped. Upon inspecting the dining car, which was beginning to burn, Gordon Campbell, lineman, and Robert Stanley, powderman, found the body of the cook Edmond Harold, some distance from the doorway, slumped against the tables. His death was confirmed by George Millward, First Aid man, who supervised the removal of the body.
As the fire-fighting equipment proved inadequate, attention was centred on keeping the fire from spreading. When Constable Malines visited the scene on the following day, he found both cars completely destroyed down to the decking.
Dr. L. C. Kindree presided at the inquest whlch was held on Tuesday evening, November 23rd. The jury brought in a verdict of death from shock and burns, received accidentally by the cook, with no blame attached to anyone.
The deceased had only been employed at this camp for a week when the tragedy occurred. He is survived by his wife in Vancouver and a brother in England. Funeral services were held fin the Chapel of the Mount Pleasant Undertaklng
Co. on Thursday, November 25th.; interment in Returned Soldier's section of Mountain View Cemetery.

SUCCESSFUL SALE HELD BY WOMEN'S AUXILIARY
The Women's Auxiliary of St. John's Anglican Church held their annual sale in the Parish Hall on the afternoon of Wednesday, Nov. 17th.
The affair was a success from every angle; even the weather was an asset. For those ladles tired of their own cooking, there was a table of homemade delicacies; those shopping for Christmas gifts found a table laden with beautiful
sewing; and there were potted plants for the indoor horticulturist.
Mrs. De Beck's class of little girls had a table all their own, at which they sold candy, knitted doll garments and the recipe for dancing snowballs.
A delightful and refreshing tea gave the shoppers an opportunity to chat with friends.
Mrs. L. Budgell was the lucky winner of the embroidered luncheon cloth.

STANDARD OIL LOCATES HERE
The Squamish Towing Company has acquired the Standard 911 Oil agency for Squamish. This company plans to erect a gas station just south of their quonset building.
Construction of the garage will start early in the New Year. If present plans go through the new station will be in charge of E. Patenaude, well known basketball and softball player from Britannia.

PIONEER PGE FAMILIES UNITED BY MARRIAGE
A marriage uniting two pioneer railroad families took place in St. Joseph's Catholic Church on Tuesday, November 23rd, when Reverend Father Gallo joined in marriage Patricia Frances McCormack and Raymond Keith Rebagliati. The bride is the elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. R. McCormack of Squamish while the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Rebagliati of Lillooet.
Given in marriage by her father the stately bride wore a full-skirted gown of white satin which featured a cowl neckline. Her floor length veil of net fell from a beaded coronet. Her only jewelry was a diamond-studded gold cross on a chain, the gift of the groom. Red roses and gardenias made up the bridal bouquet.
The two bridesmaids Miss Teresa Martin and Miss Viola Halvorson wore similar frocks of moire taffeta with fully gathered skirts and cape sleeves. Miss Martin's dress was shell pink while Miss Halvorson's was ice blue. Both wore matching Mary, Queen of Scots headdresses end elbow length mitts. They carried yellow chrysanthemums and pink carnations.
The groom was supported by Mr. Charles Hurley of Lillooet. Mr. Ronald McCormack and Mr. Harry Nichols were ushers.
The nuptial music was played by Mrs. R. Cole. During the signing of the register Mrs. Skarcynski sang ''Ave Maria".
Following the ceremony a reception was held in the Parish Hall; where Reverend Father Gallo proposed the toast to the bride.
Later the bride and groom left by boat on their honeymoon. For travelling the bride wore a green suit with black accessories and black topcoat. Her corsage was of Talisman roses.
A number of out-of-town guests attended the ceremony. Among them were Mr. and Mrs. McCormack, of Seattle, Mr. and Mrs. P. Rebagliati, Mrs. Kenneth Jones
Mr. and Mrs. Austin Wilson and Mr. and Mrs. R. Williamson, all of Lillooet.
The young couple hope to make their permanent home in Lillooet.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS MAKE SPECIAL PLANS FOR XMAS
The staff of St. John's Anglican Sunday School, and the W.A. are planning to hold a Christmas Party, complete with Christmas tree, games, refreshments, for the
enjoyment of the Sunday School pupils.
The Sunday School pupils of the United Church will hold an open service on Sunday, December 19th at 11 a.m. A special program has been planned for the occasion. Friends and parents are urged to attend.

SQUAMISH ELECTORS GO TO POLLS DECEMBER 16, 17, 18
The electors of Squamish will soon have the opportunity of electing their first local municipal government. At this, the first election, the entire board of three commissioners are to be elected; the candidate receiving the highest number of votes retains his seat as commissioner for three years, the second highest for two years, and the lowest for one year.
Nominations are acceptable until 12 noon, December 9th, and the elections will be held on the 16th, 17th and 18th of December. On the 16th and 17th the polling station will be open from 10 a.m. until 12 noon. The persons who shall be permitted to vote on these two days are the duly qualified voters who expect to be absent from Squamish on the final day of the poll, and they will be asked to sign a statement to that effect. On Saturday, December 18th, the poll will be open to the general public from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m.
The names of all candidates nominated will appear on the ballot. Each voter may vote for not more than three candidates. An X beside more than three names spoils a ballot. However, he may vote for one or two candidates instead of three, but he may not give any one candidate more than one vote.
If your name is on the voter's list you should exercise your franchise. It has been noted lately that in both provincial and municipal elections, more people are becoming conscious of the value of their franchise.
The present Board of Commissioner have laid the groundwork for the procedure of this election, and they would like to see every voter in Squamish show their interest in the municipal affairs of Squamish by getting out to vote.

INTERMEDIATE BADMINTON GROUP CHOOSE OFFICERS
After their regular period of playing the Intermediate group of badminton players, ranging in age from 12 to 16, chose their officers on Nov. 26. The following were
chosen: President, Lek Ross; Vice-President, Jimmie Buchanan; Secretary, Elsie Nygard; Treasurer, Doreen Hurst.
This club is composed of almost 30 enthusiastic young players.

CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR CONSTABLE MALINES
The remodelling of the local police station will probably be completed in time to be an acceptable Christmas gift for Constable and Mrs. Malines.
The changes being made will divide the building into two complete units; all the south half being dwelling quarters for the constable and his wife, with police offices occupying the north half of the building. The work is being done by Pacific Pile Driving Company of New Westminster.
A central hot water heating plant is being intalled by Squamish Hardware. This furnace, of the coal stoker type, should solve the building's heathg problem,
which has always been a headache to the residents.

The new 82-foot flagpole on the Tower of London is Douglas fir, grown on Vancouver Island.

WHIST DRIVE
The third of the series of four Whist Drives was held in the Woodfibre Community Hall on November 24th.
The winners on this occasion were: First Prize, Ladies - Mrs. J. Hutton, Score 164; First Prize, Gentlemen - G. Birnie, Score 168; Second Prize, Ladies - Mrs. E. Norman and Mrs. J. Docherty, Tie, Score 157; Second Prize, Gentlemen - B. Rae, Score 160; Booby Prize, Ladies - Mrs. R. Greveling, Score 118; Booby Prize, Gentlemen - L. Belanger, Score 115.
The last drive af the series is beIng held this week, and the winner bf the Grand Aggregate prize will be announced as soon as possible.
As usual, after the whist was finished there were fun and games conducted by Dave Anderson. On this occasion he was assisted by Bob Whitby, who brought with him his wire recorder, and all the competitors in the “Truth and Consequence” Game had the opportunity to hear their own voices, as well as anyone else who so desired. The highlight of this part of the evening was the singing of ‘The Waggle o’ the Kilt” by George Birnie - he could hardly be distinguished from Harry Lauder!
The big competition of the evenng was the guessing of the name of "Mr. Woodfibre”, who had made a record of his voice, which it was guaranteed was well known to all residents of Woodfibre. A number of persons were called to the platform by numbers, and were given questions. If their answers were correct they were given a chance to guess the name of ,"Mr. Woodfibre.”
The following failed to qualify:
Mrs. Lynch and Mrs. Petovelo, who were not aware that dessert is the first course in a Chinese meal; Bill Dale, who did not know that the beaver is the largest Canadian rodent; P. Wickstrom, who failed to tell us that the Crown Jewels are kept in the Tower of London.
The following incorrect guesses as to Mr. Woodfibre’s identity were made by those who qualified: Mrs. Hazel Frey; who stated correctly that the Three Blind Mice lost their tails through the use of a carving knife, thought he was Craig Lea; M. Gibeloff, who knew that a rabbit runs faster up hill than down, thought he was Mr. Brennan; Mrs. Inglis, who was right in saying that a goose guessed Mr. F. Mullins, Jr., and Mrs. D. Green who quoted correctly the last line in J. Spink's advertisement in the Squamish Review for November, said it was Mr. S. Briggs.
Finally, Mrs. Chadwick, having informed us rightly that all birds lay eggs, guessed the correct identity of the gentleman in question - Jack Spink. In the course of the
evening Dave Anderson had repeatedly announced that a wood and coal stove had been donated as a prize; this was forthwith presented to Mrs. Chadwick. We hope she was not too disappointed to find that it was only eight inches high! However, it should make a nice Christmas present for some young housekeeper.
The game of ‘‘Truth, and Consequences” continued with the following victims: Mrs. Greveling was caught twice. The first time, as she could not state what musical instrument has the highest pitch (it is the piccolo), she had to lap up a saucer of water; the second time she did not know whether there were more white or black squares on a checker board, and had to demonstrate shadow boxing. Mrs. Eckersley could not state the name of the river on which the
town of London, Ontario, is situated, and had to give an exhibition of reducing exercises.
In the course of the evening, it was announced that a Crib Tournment
will be held before Christmas, and medals will be presented both for both singles and doubles entries.

RECENT BRIDE HOLDS TEA
Mrs. Angus McRae, Jr., the former Anne Reambeault, entertained a large group of friends at a tea on the afternoon of November 27, at the home of Mrs. A. McRae Sr.
Assisting the hostess in serving were Mrs. John R. Buchanan and Rae, Sr.

MEMORIAL DANCE SPONSORED BY SQUAMISH LEGION
On Friday evening, November 12, a Memorial Day Dance, sponsored by the Squamish Legion was held in the P.G.E. Hall.
The local orchestra composed of Mrs. Fred Barnfield, Owen Reeve, Russell Lamport and Norman McDonald provided music for the eager dancers.
Ample refreshments were served in the P.G.E. dining room. These were prepared by the Women's Auxiliary to the Legion, under the convenership of Mrs. J. Gibson.

The population of the British Commonwealth is 540 million, and only one in eight is white.

CHICKEN POX RAMPANT
For some years Squamish has been been free of epidemics but this fall an attack of chicken pox has struck the town. In some rooms at the school, the attendance was cut by two thirds. It is to be hoped that the epidemic will have run its course before the holiday season is upon us.

More Indians live in B.C. than any other province. There are 25,515, one-fifth of the national.

CANADIAN BULL GIVEN AWARD IN ARGENTINE
"Eaton Hall Chieftain Fayne", a Holstein-Friesian bull imported into Argentina from Canada, was runner-up or reserve champion at the recent Palermo Show in the Argentine.
Judges for the important classes were invited from foreign countries, and the majority came from Britain, inasmuchas as Argentine cattle are mainly descended from imported British stock. A Canadian, J.D. Innes of Woodstock, on Ontario, vice-president of the Holstein-Friesian Association of Canada, officiated this year for the first time at the Palermo Show.

The bride was ordering her first ton of coal.
Dealer: What kind of coal did you want?"
Bride (puzzled): "Kind! Are there different kinds?"
Dealer: "Oh yes, for instance we have egg coal and chesnut coal."
Bride: "I'll take the egg coal. I'll be cooking eggs oftener than I will chestnuts."

In dollar value, coal is Canada's second principal import; machinery is first.

SHOWER FOR BRIDE-ELECT
A large group of friends and well-wishers gathered at the Parish Hall on Friday, November 19 to honour Miss Patricia McCormack.
The hall was tastefully decorated in two tones of yellow. Those attending enjoyed playing bingo, after which delightful refreshments were served.
Helping Miss McCormack to open her many lovely gifts were her mother, Mrs. R. R. McCormack, and her young sister Mary as well as her bridesmaids, Miss Viola Halvorson and Miss Teresa Martin.
The bride-elect thanked all those who had remembered her so kindly on this occasion, and extended an invitation to all those present to attend her forthcoming marriage and wedding reception.

LADIES AND SALE A SUCCESS
The Ladies Aid of the Squamish United Church held their annual bazaar in the Parish Hall on Saturday, December 4th.
A fine array of novelties appealed to Christmas shoppers. Home-cooking as usual, found a ready sale. The table of white elephants was soon bare, proving that people like to take a chance. A sawdust barrel for the children was a major attraction among the youngsters.
A group of explorers under the leadership of Mrs. G.E. Harris, sold home-made candy. The event was very successful, despite inclement weather.
The Women's Auxiliary to the Canadian Legion, Squamish Branch No. 115, held its regular monthly meeting November 9th.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL
BY DINAH MARIA MULOCK
God rest ye, merry gentlemen; let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ, our Saviour, was born on Christmas day.
The dawn rose red o'er Bethlehem, the stars shone through the gray,
When Jesus Christ, our Saviour, was born on Christmas day.
God rest ye, little children; let nothing you affright,
For Jesus Christ, your Saviour, was born this happy night;
Along the hills of Galilee the white flocks sleeping law,
When Christ, the Child of Nazareth, was born on Christmas day.
God rest ye, all good Christians; upon this blessed morn
The Lord of all good Christians was of a woman born;
Now all your sorrows He doth heal, your sins He takes away;
For Jesus Christ, our Saviour, was born on Christmas day.

F. HAAR LEAVES
Another real old-timer has left Woodfibre, Mr. Frank Haar, Digester Foreman, who arrived in Woodfibre from Austria in 1911, with some of the original machinery for the mill, has retired from the service of the British Columbia Pulp & Paper Company.
A farewell banquet was held in his honour on November 17th, at which Mr. Brennan, on behalf of his many friends, presented him with a pen and pencil set and a travelling bag, as well as a sum of money.
Since his arrival here so many years ago, Mr. Haar has been at Woodfibre almost continuously, his longest period off the payroll of the present Company and its predecesors being about two weeks. This, I believe, gave him at the time of his retirement the record for the longest service of any employee at Woodfire.
His family joined him here in 1912, and have played an important part in the development of the community - it was one of his daughters who named the town “Wood fibre”.
We all hope that Mr. Haar will have the good luck and happiness which he deserves in his retirement.

CONVENTION
The B.C. Pulp & Paper Industrial Safety Association held its Semi-Annual Convention at Woodfibre on Monday and Tuesday, December 5th and 6th.
Representatives were present from the following major firms in the pulp and paper industry: Powell River Co.; B.C. Pulp & Paper Co., Woodfibre and Port Alice; Pacific Mills. Conversion Plant in Vancouver; Canadian Boxes; Westminster
Paper Co. and Sorg Pulp Co. Mr. L. Manley, Secretary-Manager of the Western Branch of the Canadian Pulp & Paper Association was also present.
Mr. Gordon Dubberley, the Safety Director at Woodfibre, was Chairman of the Convention.
At the General Meeting on Monday evening, the delegates were addressed by Mr. A. Francis, Chief Inspector for the Workmen’s Compensation Board, and on Tuesday they were taken for a general tour of the plant.

P.T.A.
Mr. R. Jones, Cubmaster of the Woodfibre Wolf Cub Pack, was the guest speaker at the P.T.A. “Fathers’ Night” 0n November 9th. Mr. Jones gave a most interesting account of the work of the Cubs which was much appreciated.
It was decided at this Meeting to authorize the use of the Lunch Room by the Co-operative Play Group which has just been organized.
It was Parents’ Day at the School on November 15th, when the parents of the school children had the opportunity to visit the school and see for themselves the work that is being done. In spite of the inclement weather, there was a good turn-out, and tea was served to the visitors by the P.T.A.

Farming is not a big industry in Newfoundland. Most farms are worked to supplement a family’s income. Only 1,400 farms operate on a commercial scale.

“What’s your cat’s name?”
“Ben Hur.”
“What made you call him that?”
“We just called him Ben ’til he had kittens.”

CO-OPERATIVE PLAY GROUP
A new undertaking has just been started at Woodfibre, which should be of considerable benefit to the community. This is the Co-operative Play Group for pre-School children, which will be carried on under the supervision of Mrs. W. Ivan.
The facilities of the group are offered at a very reasonable fee, and it will be available for two hours a day, five days a week. The mothers of the younger children will no doubt find this arrangement of great assistance to them, and the project is one which fully deserves the support of the community.
The committee in charge are:
President - Mrs. E. Preiss; Secretary - Mrs. E. Beckett; Treasurer - Mrs. F. Johnson; Publicity - Mrs. J. Spink, Mrs. J. White and Mrs. H. Frey.

A case worker at the welfare agency in a southern town was interviewing an applicant who asked for aid for herself and her 13 children.
"But I don't understand," the case worker said in surprise. "You say your husband deserted you ten years ago, yet eight of your children are under ten years of age.”
“Oh,‘ I can explain that, yes, ma’am,” said the applicant beaming. “You see he came back now and then to apologize.”

1949 "FIRST BABY' CONTEST
TO THE PARENTS OF THE FIRST BABY BORN TO BONA-FIDE RESIDENTS OF SQUAMISH, WOODFIBRE OR BRITANNIA, THE FIRMS LISTED BELOW IN EACH COMMUNITY ARE PROUD TO PRESENT A SHOWER OF GIFTS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE "FIRST CITIZEN."

SQUAMISH'S FIRST BABY
of 1949 will be received with honours thanks to the generosity of the Squamish merchants who are co-operating in ’the first annual Review “First Baby of the Year’’ Contest.
The merchants and the Review have all chosen gifts which will be of equal value to a boy or a girl, and the lucky baby will be well equipped to commence the new
year under happy circumstances.
The first baby of the New Year may not be along immediately after the commencement of 1949, but don’t worry about that. The first child born to bona-fide residents of Squamlsh during 1949, whatever the date will receive these well-chosen gifts, providing notification is made to The Review within 48 hours after the birth has occurred.
Baby must eat, so Squamish Dairy will supply free milk for a month. Manner‘s Red and White Store, anticipating the weaning period, is supplying a case of strained baby food.
For the chap who has to pace the floor, our three local restaurants will arrange to “feed father.’’ Pop will have his breakfast at the Waltz Inn, dinner at the Del Mar and supper at the Squamish, free for a whole week while mother is away at hospital.
A good financial start in life is a necessity these days, so The Review is opening a savings account at the Bank of Nova Scotia in the amount of five dollars, and whether the baby is born with a silver spoon in his or her mouth or will no will make no difference, because Douglas Fenton will provide one in any case, engraved with the baby’s initials.
To keep baby snug, MacKenzie’s are giving a Baby Bunting-Bag made of warm blanket cloth. For that skin you love to touch, Yarwood’s will provide a lovely baby
toiletry set, while the new arrival will also receive an order for a decorated birthday cake from the Squamish Bakery.
To complete the list, the return home of mother and the baby from Vancouver is assured by Glen’s Taxi, who will arrange to bring them home by boat and by car to enjoy Squamish’s welcome to it’s first baby of the year.
WOODFIBRES FIRST ARRIVAL in 1949 will be greeted with open arms by Woodfibre merchants, too!
The first baby of the new Year is not expected to arrive on January 1st but that fact will make no difference as long as he or she as the case may be, is born to bonafide residents of Woodfibre. Notification to The Review must be made within 48 hours after the baby’s birth.

REMEMBRANCE DAY SERVICE
At 10:30 a.m. on the morning of November 11, veterans of Squamish and members of the Women's auxiliary met at the Squamish Theatre to parade to the P.G.E. Hall for the annual Remembrance Day Service.
Led by E. Tutin as Director of Command, Dr. Wilkinson, Mrs. J. Gibson as flag-bearer and Mrs. D. Cameron, the parade, augmented by children and remembering adults marched down Cleveland Avenue to the drug store, along
Victoria Street to Second Street and up Second Street to the P.G.E. Hall.
On entering the buildings a moment of silence in memory of fallen comrades was observed. Following the singing of “O Canada,” the Reverend C. Addyman offered a prayer. Those present then joined together in singing, “O God, Our Help In Ages Past,” the traditional hymn of this day.
Reverend C. Gibbs then read Psalm 90, followed by brief addresses by both Rev. Addyman and Rev Gibbs.
After the singing of the rousing hymn “Onward Christian Soldiers," a closing prayer was offered before the official ceremony was ended.

SQUAMISH BOARD OF TRADE
The regular monthly meeting of the Squamish and Howe Sound District Board of Trade was held Wednesday, December 1, 1948, in the dining-room of the P.G.E. Hall.
There was considerable discussion on the road conditions, and the river. It was felt gravel was needed for our road.
The New Year’s Eve dance was also discussed, and it was decided to have one again this year.
The members were very pleased to find that the B. C. Electric Company were looking forward to new industries opening up in Squamish when more power was
available.

On a dark and stormy night the trainmen was signaling to the engineer when he dropped his lantern to the ground. Another man passing by tossed it back to him
on top of a boxcar. In a few minutes the engineer came rushing up.
“Let’s see you do that again!”
“Do what?”
“Jump from the ground to the top of that boxcar!”

OLD AND NEW ABERDEEN
by Elizabeth Richmond
Aberdeen, at the mouth of the river Dee in Scotland, is often referred to as the Granite City, after most of its buildings. Among these are the Marischal College,
the extension of which was opened in 1906 to celebrate the quater centenary of Aberdeen’s University.
The long graduation hall of the college has an heraldic window which illustrates its history. This history began in 1593 when George Keith, fifth Earl Marischal of Aberdeen founded it in the old Greyfriars monastery.

YES, TREES ARE SHIPPED AWAY TO CARIBBEAN
What is Christmas without a tree? That’s what a lot of people say who live in the warmer climes of the Caribbean lands and in Central American countries. And
they do something about it, for inspectors of the plant protection division, Dominion Department of Agriculture have recently inspected 30,662 Christmas trees shipped by a Maritime company to destinations in those areas.
The market in southern countries is limited to those which have a good sprinkling
of former northerners residing there, reports A. E. McCollom, the Division’s Supervising Inspector. Such people like to celebrate Christmas with a tree as they did in their more northerly homes.
Over the years, too, some of the natives working for these people have copied the habits of their employers, and their friends have trees in their homes at Christmas The trees are trimmed by the natives in much the same way as is done by families in Canada.
Unfortunately a great increase in the distribution of this symbol of Christmas in
these southern areas may not be possible. Santa Claus, his sleigh and reindeers unfortunately are symbolic too and cannot make delivery; high ocean freight rates and delivery charges are actual - they add greatly to the cost of the tree to the user.

NEW TENTH PROVINCE - As with her sister provinces Newfoundland will be responbible for her own highways, education and most health and welfare facillties - all of which rank high among current needs. Ottawa will provide family allowances, old age pensions, unemployment insurance, sick mariners’ benefits and housing assistance.

There’s a lot of boys of 18 who just can’t believe that some day they’ll be as dumb as their fathers.

HIGHEST AVERAGE WAGE MARK HIT IN BC HISTORY
"A peak year of industrial development" is recorded in the 30th annual report of the provincial department of labour for 1947, just issued.
"The industrial wealth of the province is reflected in the rising provincial estimated payroll, which in 1947 totalled some $490,000,000, an apparent increase of $57, 080, 273 over the final estimated total for 1946," the report says.
"Heavy demands for primary products, the necessity for increased production, and a rapid growth in population brought large-scale development programs in the lumber industries, public utilities, and construction industries."
The average weekly industrial wage figure for all male wage-earners rose to $43.49, the highest level yet recorded, and an increase of $3.62 over the preceding year, according to the government figures.
Greatest increase was in the lumber industries (up $30,000,000). The construction industry increased by $17,000,000 to another record.

LEGION SPONSORS BINGO NIGHT
On Friday, December 3rd, the Squamish Legion held a second night of Bingo. There was an excellent array of prizes, some lucky winners taking home as many as four prizes. The absence of coffee and doughnuts was noticed by many.

Vancouver shipping is benefited by orders requiring 50 shiploads of wheat this winter for India and South Africa.

THE PRINCE OF PEACE
(From the Christian Science Monitor)

THAT CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!
There used to be a ditty which children chanted in the streets of the Old Country, to the effect that “Christmas comes but once a year, And when it does it brings good cheer.” Well, maybe it does but not so much as it might.
Laying aside for the moment the unfortunate fact that our own country is in much better circumstances than others in providing the occasions for “good cheer,” it is timely to ask if we are doing all we can, individually and collectively, within our
own country, to bring about that ideal of “Peace on earth, good will to men!” which we are supposed to uphold as a religion.
Good cheer is not a mater confined to the sharing of a big special meal or of imbibing freely of spirituous beverages. Many people may regard those indulgences as part of the observance of Christmas - the season especially associated with “good cheer” - but they are by no means all. They are not even the main part of it, if we look at the question aright.
If good cheer, good will mean anything, they mean surely the sharing and enjoying in common of the essentials of good living. And good living in the right sense, comes from the Giver of all good, and not from human generosity.
good, and not from human generosity.
Such good will giving and sharing would not be confined to one brief season of the year, one climactic orgy of feasting and drinking that in the act of indulgence enlarges its horizon to include all who can be persuaded similarly to indulge.
Life is not that easy, and the spreading of Christmas cheer cannot be squared with our consciences by a spurt of more or less indiscriminate giving of material things at Christmastime. Nobody really questions the giving of gifts, and the close of the year seems to be generally accepted as an appropriate occasion for such giving. But if we are not to miss the real meaning of the anniversary of Jesus’ birth, we are bound to keep in mind. this season and every season, that “Peace on earth. good will to men” is a goal to be kept in view throughout the year, and year by year, until it is finally accomplished.

SEVEN WORDS..
"PEACE ON EARTH.... GOODWILL TOWARD MEN"
... seven words are those which tell a story of the fondest hopes of all mankind.
If any period will move mankind toward such considerations, it surely is Christmas time - the universal date which finds peoples of the earth pausing in the midst of everyday struggle to give thought to the real meaning of Christmas.
In the spirit of the season, we pause to greet our fellow men and to wish for them all they hold dear, the jogs of peace and good will, in the greeting which the centuries have mellowed:

WHAT CHRISTMAS REALLY MEANS...
It's the smell of mince pies wafted down the hall,
The garlands of pine branches hung on the wall.
It's the thrill and excitement of trimming the tree,
Then drawing the curtain for the world to see.
It's the tingle of secrecy for weeks ahead,
Then the wrapping of gifts, bright green and red.
It's the shiny red apple left with great care
In the hopes'that St. Nicholas soon will be there.
It's the warm all-togetherness of Christmas Eve,
When overflow of affection is not hard to perceive.
It's the ringing of church bells - O Silent Night,
The voices of carolers singing with might.
It's the profound communion between father and mother,
At the end of a prayer made by son or daughter.
It's all little sleepyheads with drowsy blue eyes
Dreaming of reindeer who prance through the skies.
It's the expectant hush of the house before dawn.
Before visions of sugar plums are all gone.
It's the rush of children to the top of the stairs
To peek in wonder at gifts that are theirs.
It's a prayer and a wish that Christmas will be
Peace everlasting - for you and for me.
