COMMITTEE ON P R O P O S E DVILLAGE TO CONDUCTHEAD COUNT

The Committee fo rmed to i n v e s t i g a t e thefeas ib i l i t y of an organ ized vil lagefor the Gangesarea has made plans to conduc t a head count inthe boundaries of the p roposed area in order toadd to information -a l ready at hand on the pro-posal .

The Committee at its meet-ing held last week read anddiscussed four letters from or-ganized villages of similarsizes. The letters were res-ponses to queries sent out bythe local committee setting outcertain questions regardingfinancial and administrationaspects of a village of thissize.

A careful study of the bud-gets of these villages of simi-lar size indicates that a reas-onable level of administration,road maintenance and snow re-moval could be carried out inour proposed village area at acost that would still leave areasonable margin of eight tonine thousand dollars per yearfor further capital improve-ments such as roads and side-walks. Or possibly some otherimprovements with total annualexpenditures staying withinpresent tax limits.

Another communicationfrom the Department of High-ways stated that the FulfordGanges Road, the GangesVesuvius Road, and the roadto Mouat Point would be ful-ly maintained at the expenseof the Department since theseroads would be considered ar-terial roads. Secondary roadsreceiving partial maintenanceby the highways department

(Torchy Anderson)

include Beddis Road, RainbowRoad, and Seaview Avenue.All roads mentioned are thoseportions lying within the pro-posed village' boundaries.

A tax study report re-ceived from the Departmentof Municipal Affairs indicatesthe organized village wouldtake over the existing moniesfrom the present 10 mi 11 pro-vincal tax levy and thiswould provide some $9900.

This figure would be augu-mented by a special grant inlieu of taxes to be receivedfrom the provincial and fed-eral governments making atotal of some $10,000.00,plus , without any increasein present taxes.

In addition to this revenuethere is a provincial grant toorganized villages of $24 percapita. In order to ascertainspecific potential revenuefrom this source, the commit-tee is presently conducting ahead count.

The result of this willenable further studies to bemade including a samplebudget. This will give resid- 'dents an authentic picture ofwhat a village would meanin taxes and improvements.

LARGE COD OUTWEIGHSSALMON IN ANNUALLEGION FISHING DERBY

by Uoreen Morris

The Royal Canadian Legion(Branch 92) annual Fishing Der-by held Sunday, Aug. 7th,weighed in over 40 fish .

Winner of 1st prize for menwas Ronnie Lee with an 8 Ib.9 oz. salmon. Keeping it inthe family, ladies 1st was wonby his wife, Evelyn Lee with a6 Ib. 13 oz. salmon. Junior's1st. prize of a rod and reelwas won by Bruce Baker with a4 Ib. 12 oz. salmon. Other

When Scott Road was twisting, bumpy, dusty, and charming;in the morning when dew marked the pot-holes and beaded rose,broom and honeysuckle,we would hear the rattle of a push-bike.And we would say, "There goes Krebs. "

He was always "Krebs" to Scott Road. He needed no othername to command love and respect. He was an institution.

A small man of unbelievable ruggedness and strength, yet hehandled seeding plants with motherly tenderness; at log work he

-was a perfectionist; he guided a cross-cut with easy rhythm; hisbroadaxe left a beam, like him, true and strong.

No hot day of work ever left him too weary to stop on theway home and do chores for a cripple, to listen to the troublesof children, to tolerate the complaints of their elders. I do notthink it ever crossed his mind that he was "doing good." It wasjust the natural thing to do.

He was the most observant man I ever met. From the circlingeagle to the green beetle on the cedar log, he read a story.Hiscuriosity was never satisfied.

I shall remember him sitting with us in the glow of a sunsetsipping his drink and, maybe, hearing the call of The Red Gods.For he talked of his trapping days, of The Finlay, The Parsnip,and The Peace.

It was one of the rewarding things of life to be his friend.Torchy Anderson

E D I T O R I A L P A G EA rare thing to hear a man sincerely express his personal sense

of loss in the death of a close friend. *We were privileged last week to be on the listening end of a

quite impromptu statement of this kind. In the telling we were onceagain aware of our shyness in such things.

In the "long" history of this observer's past, I remember astatement made by one of my col leagues to the effect that big boysnever cry. In the discussion at that time we were really trying tosay that it is one of our social taboos that males rarely expressreal affection for another. They have a hundred different ways ofcommend! ng their fellows for what they do but mostly always invery indirect ways. Quite often the approbation even takes theform of negative or humorous joke. Anything to avoid expressingreal feeling.

It is strange that such expressions are somehow interpreted asa form of behaviour unseemly to the male animal and denotessome kind of weakness of personality. Used in the way we haveseen, nothing could be more in error.

Such an experience also underlines how poverty stricken oursociety really is when we are so often unable to say the word ofpraise to another which means so much to both parties.

If we were half as prone to publicly pronounce these kinds ofappreciations as we are to condemn and censure, this old worldwould be far less violent.

Thank you, friend, for making our week a bit brigjiter.

CentennialReport

IQR7 bvJOHNW-

I mentioned the old FrenchFortress of Louisbourg, in my lastreport, among places to visit dur-ing Centennial Year.

Built by the French, at a cost• of ten million dollars during thereign of Louis XV, the Fortressof Louisbourg on Cape BretonIsland passed back and forth be-tween French and British hands,underwent two sieges and finallywas blown up by British demoli-tion troops in 1760.

Developments in the 18th cen-tury which, in the long run,resulted in Canada eventuallybecoming one country, have con-nections with Louisbourg. Thefederal government, therefore,through the Department of North-ern Affairs and National Re-sources, is restoring a large partof the fortress, now a nationalhistoric park.

At the Centennial Commissionwe think of the restoration as aCentennial project although per-haps we can't argue it is such onthe basis of technicalities becauseit was started in 1961 and willcontinue until the early 1970's,at a cost over the years of atleast $12,000,000.

The old city and a large partof the battle ground outside theruined walls were set aside by thegovernment as a national historicsite in 1928. During 1935-36 amuseum was built facing the siteof the citadel and it containsmementoes presented by citizensand relics which have been un-earthed in the ruins of the fort-ress. The site was made a national

CENTENNIAl COMMISSIONER

historic park in 1940 and thous-ands of visitors see it every year.

The new project for restorationof the fortress will reconstructthe main features of fortifications,the Chateau St-Louis, a represent-ative selection of smaller build-ings, homes and harbor works.Some outlying features such assiege works also are to be re-stored.

As well as Canada, the NewEngland states of Massachusetts,New Hampshire, Connecticut,Rhode Island and Maine havestrong historical connections withLouisbourg. Four thousand NewEnglanders were involved in thefirst siege and conquest of thefortress in 1744. (Britain handedLouisbourg back to the French ina 174S treaty but again conducteda siege and conquered it in 1758.British demolition troops blew upthe fortifications in 1760.)

Louisbourg was a key factorin North American defence andtrade for almost half a century.

"The study of that era can be afascinating pastime for laymenand the restoration of the oldfortress and bondings will give usnew insight into the history ofour country and an understandingof life in those times. For pro-fessional historians and archae-ologists the activities on CapeBreton island provide more andmore information.

The Louisbourg project is justone of the many which, duringCentennial Year, will draw theattention of Canadians, and offriends abroad, to our interestingheritage.

ONE SHOT DELIAby Bea Hamilton

There was a bit of excite-ment on the South westernslopes of Mt. Bruce on Thurs-day night when a cougar huntwas on. It was all a little un-usual. Red, the year-raidcougar hound, who had nevermet or seen a wild cat before,chased the cougar up a treeand Miss Delia Luton shot thewild cat with a 30-30 rifleand so has the honour of beingthe first lady cougar hunter(as far as is known,) on theIsland.

It was all more involvedthan that however; the cougarhad been bothering sheep onthe Steven's property and hadkilled a lamb in Gavin Rey-nold's barnyard. For over amonth, the predator hadbeen causing trouble.

On Thursday afternoon,Bob Akerman and his boysfound sheep wildly disturbedand one badly mauled, whichsuggested it to be the work ofan inexperienced wild cat.

Later when Bob, Ted andDelia went up the mountainwith Red, the hound, they7

went a mile along a loggingroad, and found another deadsheep which was still warm.

However, the cougar jump-ed out of the bush and thehound gave chase, his bayingvoice sent the cougar leapingfor the first tree.

That was when Miss Lutonwent into action and the cou-gar's career was ended. Theanimal was a 6 ft. 6 in. male,and was back of the LookoutStation on Mt. Bruce, wherethe trail ended at 8 p.m.

"A few days will tell us ifthere is another cougar on theIsland, " says Bob Akerman.

The Akerman men havehad quite a lot of experiencein predator hunting, havinglearned what Bob calls "a fewtricks' from such veteranhunters as the late Jimmy De-war, and Skate Homes andother predator hunters whohave helped to hunt downcougars on the Island in thepast.

Red, the new cougarhound, is a beautiful chestnutred, and is a Redbone pure-bred hound, coming from theFrank Richter stock at Kam-loops, where Mr. Richter isChief Game warden.

As for Miss Luton, shetakes her unusual marksmen'shonours very calmly. Officework must seem tame after the
