Fee said that other properties in the locality of an exactly similar nature, were assessed at rates less than $250 an acre, and gave as an example the Carson Estates property, which he said "was immediately across the road from us to the south, while ours is to the north." M r . M . Findlay, solicitor for the town, said that in a r riving at his assessment, the assessor takes into account evidence of recent sales of land in the area. "And the onus of proof when appealing is on the appellant to show there has been some error of assessment. The burden of proof in a l l cases is on the party appealing." Mr. Fee countered by saying that the land i s completely unimproved, and the assessment should bear some r e lation to other property in the locality. M r . Findlay said the fact that the land i s not being used See page two ( A P P E A L )

Quesnel, 100-Mlle House, and Kamloops: Williams Lake, Powell River, and Queen Charlotte Islands: Prince George, Dawson Creek, and Fort Nelson. These are some of the unusual combinations arrived at by the Boundaries Commission for British Columbia, which has just presented its report on the proposed redistribution of electoral ridings. The commission set out to divide B . C . ' s total population of 1,629,082 Into equal constituencies, each one to send a r e presentative to parliament. The committee calculated that 23 ridings would be needed and so divided the province Into population pockets of 70, 830 each. B . C . presently has 22 ridings.

Weldwood of Canada L t d . successfully appealed in the Court of Revision yesterday against a $250 an acre assessment for 1966 made on the 298 acres it owns north of the town. The court ruled that the assessment should be reduced to $200 an acre. In another case, on behalf of Carson Estates, the Court ruled that certain property in an adjacent area to the Weldwood l a n d should be considered f a r m l a n d , and requested the assessor to reassess it at the lower farm levels. Presenting the case on behalf of Weldwood, M r . T . P . Fee, the company's assistantsecretary, said that last year the 298 acres were assessed at a value of $1,870, and this year valued at $74,500, which is at a flat rate of $500 an acre. Last year the assessment was in the region of $60 an acre. , "The only c h a n g e in the property," M r . Fee said " i s that it has a new owner and a new purchase p r i c e . "

A s the legend goes this act Is significant in that it heralds the end of winter. If he had seen seen his shadow, it would have meant s i x more weeks of winter.
When clearing your front path, or sidewalk, you must often wcHider where to put the I snow. Consider A r t ' s problem of knowing where to put hundreds of tons of the stuff. So far there tiave been few problems, but it could present quite a headache. F a v orite spots chosen are empty lots close to storm drains and down by the r i v e r . Even a decision as seemingly simple as this has to fit in with the rest of the operation. If the right dumping spot isn't used at the right time i t could affect the efficiency and economy of the whole job. With this in mind A r t stresses It i s important that the versatility of the snow crews i s such that they are able to swap from one machine to another and retain the utmost efficiency. The police, of course, fit in with this whole operation.

It may surprise you, it certainly did me, to know that Quesnel has $93,500 worth of equipment working constantly to keep our town snow clear.

I dislike paying taxes like everyone else, but whenever I s t a r t complaining about costs, and then realize that in this sub-zero winter I can s t i l l walk and drive easily around the town, I w i l l say a big Thank-you to A r t Mickey, Lloyd Parker and men like them.

Appeal
Continued from Page 1 should not detract from its value and the assessment has been made on that basis. After f u r t h e r discussion along these lines the coiu:t adjourned to inspect the property and returned the decision to reduce the assessment from $250 an acre to $200. T a l k i n g to the Observer after the court's decision, M r . Fee said: "I w i l l have to consider this very carefully. But I am particularly happy that the court has seen fit to bring our assessment more into line with those p r o p e r t l e s adjoining us." In the second case, for C a r son Estates, Involving five different lots, M r . Peter Gook said that one parcel of 11.98 acres, which i s assessed at $80.40 an acre, i s 80 per cent imder water - - through flooding from Dragon Creek. "The o t h e r four lots assessed at $200 an acre are farmland," he said, "areused as such, and should be assessed as such." "The smaller lot," he said, "was purchased from Carson F a r m , but this does not alter the situation as regards its use. It has always been used as farmland until it was flooded." and often eight to 14 inches of water, this is the basis upon which we are appealing this. C o n s i d e r a b l e time was taken in discussing the r e assessment problems involved, and M r . Neill said that these particular parcels of land got the same treatment as the rest of the town. M r . Gook said that a l l the land involved i s contiguous parcels and not property picked up or accumulated f r o m time to time. "And from the time we purchased these lots they have been farm property and always used as farm property and should be assessed at the lower rate. Approximately 30 per cent of the land under appeal i s under cultivation, with i s a very high percentage." M r . Gook said about 5,000 bales of hay were taken off the land each year, which r e presented 100 per cent of the Income from the land. After an extensive question and answer session between M r . Findlay and M r . Gook the court adjourned to inspect the land. On tlieir return Chaiiman M r . E , Sargent, declared: "We are convinced that this is being used for farm land. While we are not prepared to give its ralue in farm land we ask our assessor to get the land reassessed for us as farm land, and return with the reassessment on T h u r s d a y next week."

Frits L a n g e l e r as assistant e d i t o r , Marjorie McLeod as new editor and Dave Weins as sports editor. Editions will come out each Tuesday with the first edition Feb. 8. Williams Lake is the scene of this Friday's league game when the Lakers and Lakettes host our Spartans and Spartanettes. A spectator bus is also expected to travel. Cost per person is $1.50 instead of $1.00. The price has been boosted because the F r i d a y soc-hops, the admission of which supplements the cost of a bus and driver, are not making as much as is required. Next weekend the Williams Lake teams will visit our gym for the last regular league game of our senior teams. Tuesday the Student Counc i l voted to dissolve its actvity committees, b e c a u s e of lack of support from those members outside of council. Also on Tuesday, the Athletic Council received permission toholda'<HardTimes Dance" on March 3. There are only nine more days t i l l the " B l u e and Gcdd Ball".

Bob Leamen
(Observer Sports Editor Bob Leamen cornered Kangaroo Coach B i l l Ramsden at the Quesnel Civic Arena this week, and extracted from him the following pearls of wisdom.)
Leamen: What do you think of your club's chances of latching onto a Coy Cup? Ramsc ^n: Good. The boys' biggest challenge will come right from their own league. Leamen: How do you predict they'll make out? Ramsden: The biggest problem. Bob. w i l l l>e getting them up for the games. Prince George will probably be the team we meet first, and we have to realize that they w i l l be tough. Prince George w i l l loe a different team in the play offs. They w i l l work at it. If we want to win, w e ' l l have to work at it too. Leamen: How do you see the Vanderhoof-Williams Lake ' series? J Ramsden: Vanderhoof four straight. I can't see Williams : Lake winning one. Leamen: What about when, and if, Vanderhoof and Quesnel ; meet in the final? Ramsden: They w i l l be tough. They're always tough. I think, however, our squad is better balanced. We are also a little stronger defensively. With the Kangaroos it isn't a matter of i the opposition stopping one man. Weliavefour or five real good ,;goal scorers that can k i l l you at anytime. We C A N win. Again, ; we w i l l have the problem of getting up for the games.
Ramsden Our greatest strength is scoring power. Our forward lines yare working well and we even have defensemen that are capable of scoring goals. Leamen: How about the performance of the FoUack-Kjemhus Gagnon line? Ramsden: They're producing r e a l well. They're our big production line. I'm especiallyliai^ywithNorm KJemhus. He never played the center slot before this season, and has fitted in perfectly. The line of Johnston, Helzel, and L a Fond has also been working well. They haven't been scoring that many goals, but they have been having darn few scored against them. Every member of that line gives 100 per cent every time out, and it pays. They really work. Leamen: What about the Walker-Greyeyes-Readmanline? Ramsden: I'm looking for big things from that trio in the play offs. I expect Walker to come through in a large way. He has the ability to produce when iiie ciiips are down, and I predict that's just wliat he'll do. Lookfor Greyeyes to come iiurough too. He had a fantastic start this season. He went into a l>ad slump after he picked up a couple of injuries. He's coming out of that slump now, and getting over those injuries. His wrist was giving him a lot of trouble, but he's over that now, and getting his shot back. Herb could very well be the boy that will lead us through the play offs.
(our regular season games in order to be eligible for action in the playoffs. I thought I might as well get the games in, just in case some of the boys pick up injuries. Leamen: The Gods have been good to you in the mjury department this year. Ramsden: They have that. We've had several minor mjuries but have fortunately avoided anything serious. I'm qualifying myself as a form of Insurance. I don't expect to play much. But let's hope we can stay away from those injuries. They can k i l l you in the playoffs.
Leamen: Will they be allowed in? Ramsden: It's doubtful, but possible. The decision is up to the B . C . A . H . A . Leamen: When the dust clears the Coy Cup champions w i l l take on the winners from Alberta, right? Ramsden: Right. In British Columbia. Leamen: Who's the power in Alberta? Ramsden: Whoever represents Alberta will be strong. A l berta's probable representatives w i l l be from the Central Alberta League - either Red Deer. Drumhiller, or Lacombe. Leamen: That w i l l take care of the Western division. Who will take the marbles from Saskatchewan and Manitoba? Ramsden: The F l i n Flon Warriors are reported to be tough. The Finnish Nationals played them after they played us, and beat them comfortably. They can't be that much out of our league.
Defense Strong
Leamen: How is the defense shaping up? Ramsden: Still no complaints. Bob. Willis will be a big help. What we needed was a policeman out there, to keep opposition forwards honest. Willis is just that. Leamen: Thought you already had one back on the point. Ramsden: Quite. Duncan lias played well a l l season. I'm pleased with the way the defense has come along. Particularly Duncan and J i m Steven. Leamen: You have a new goal tender in camp. Ramsden: True. Jack Barton i s comforting to have around. Leo is the type of goal tender that rises to the occasion. We can count on him in the playoffs. But anyone can have a bad night. Both goalies w i l l be dressed for a l l games. If one of them is off, the other can go in. Leamen: I notice you've been burning up the ice a bit yourself lately. Ramsden: Regulations are tliat a player has to dress for

The one exclusive sign of a thorough knowledge is t h e power of teaching." These s a g a c i o u s words were uttered by the Greek philosopher Aristotle, many centuries ago. Apparently the statement still holds true today. Prince G e o r g e Teachers came back in the second half of play in men's basketball Sunday afternoon to down the Quesnel Motors squad 62-49. Local boys led the visitors at the half time with a strong offensive pattern and good r e bounding a c t i o n on the defensive end.'

With C H L playoffs on the horizon, coffee shop talk has, quite naturally, been devoted almost entirely to the subject of hockey. With the subject being talked up, the incidence of rumors, idle and otherwise, is on the upswing. Rumors concerning strife among teams in the C H L , rumours concerning teams and leagues in the running for the Coy Cup, rumors concerning Kangaroo personnel changes, etc., abound. It gets so bad that you can only believe what you read, (plug) The study of rumors i s fascinating. It seems that barber shops are the perpetrators of many gems of gossip. The following is a classic example. Last season, C a r l Brewer of the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs decided to hang up the blades, and return to the teaching profession. Kangaroo trainer Kadi Koyama, by way of an experiment in the way of human nature, dropped in at his favorite barber shop and planted the seed of a dandy rumor. He said simply: "Sure is a lucky break for the Kangaroos - Brewer getting a teaching job in Quesnel." That's a l l it took. Within hours the town was buzzing about the new find. T r y it yourself. It could l)ecome a fascinating new game. Start a rumor, and see how long it takes to get back to you. It might also be interesting to note how much it has grown in proportion from the time you started it. I hear the Victoria Academy G i r l ' s Field Hockey team is trying to lure Frank Ketter away from the Kangaroos. The following i s fact, not rumor. It has been settled that C H L semi fmals w i l l be bestof-seven affairs. The matter was in question for some time, l)ecause of the possible conflict between C H L playoffs, and Coy Cup play. It seems, however, that most of the clubs felt that they couldn't afford t^e loss of gate that would result from the series being chopped down to l>est-of~five affairs. Playoff action will get under way on February 12. The third place club will travel to the home ice of the first place club, for two weekend games. The fourth place club will travel to the home ice of the second place club for similar action. On the next weekend, the process is reversed in each series. After the second weekend of action in the semi-finals, there will have been four games played in both series. If more games are necessary. League executive w i l l have to come to a decision as to whether or not Wednesday games will be included in the play off schedule, This may be necessary in order that the C H L can deClare a final winner before Coy Cup action commences. The big day is March 17.

BABBLING BROOK
BY DALE ETHIER With a l l the Indications of a hot summer before us, the l)eaches w i l l be stormedby swimmers and non-swlmiaers alike. There w i l l be the youngsters who would play frogman and make use of the familiar mask and flippers that ' are becoming more and more popular with beach-loving boys. How many of your sons will go into the water for the first time and try out these exciting inventions? How many of those who do w i l l get themselves into serious trouble and perhaps drown because of the dangers of which they have not been old? ' Underwater fun i s generally split into two categories: skin & scuba diving. Among experienced divers, there is keen competition between the two groups. F i r s t , let us deal with Skin diving. Although skin and scuba diving are both classified as skin diving, the "snorkelers" proudly claim they are the true skin divers and that the other form of diving is Scuba diving. The equipment that i s required to skin dive; (without the use of air tanks) include, a mask, fins, and snorkel. If you are diving In cold weather or water, you will also need a protective suit. This can be either the dry or wet type, plus the added necessity of a weight l>elt. The dangers involved In skin diving are not as numerous as those of scuba diving, but nonetheless can k i l l just as quickly. Needless to say, in buying diving equipment, you only get what you pay for, as in a l l other purchases, where personal safety is concerned. Probably the most important piece of equipment for the skin diver is the snorkel. There are three types on the market, the best, in my experience, i s the flex-hose type. This snorkel will not continually jab you in the chin i f you happen to take it from your mouth. Another type i s the fixed curve snorkel which i s every bit as efficient but has the discomfort of being stiff and unyielding when removed from the mouth. The third type is the fixed snorkel to mask variation. These are the most dangerous to the inexperienced diver. Anyone entering the sldn diving sport should not rely on these for maximum safety. With a l l equipment ready, now is the time for anyone interested in diving to have a long involved talk with an experienced diver. He should go into the methods of hyperventilation, gulping, equalizing, and the main uses of the snorkel. The word SCUBA simplymeans "self-co.-itainedunderwater breathing apparatus." This Involves the use of compressed air tanks, regulators, and weight belts along with the elementary tools of skin diving. It i s necessary for anyone wishing to scuba dive to be proficient at skin diving and the use of the snorkel. Personal experience has proven to mc that a snorkel can, and has been, the only factor responsible for saving the life of a scuba diver. One of the dangers which must be guarded against is the moment when a diver i s struck with "Rapture of the depths" (Nitrogen Narcosis). This i s the result of too much nitrogen entering the blood stream and the affect on the diver is similar to that of alcohol. The diver tends to become overly brave and w i l l do foolish things which w i l l endanger his life. Divers with one 72 cubic foot tank have been known to go past the safe depth, spit out their mouth piece, turn sommersaults, and chase fish simply to try to tlclde them. This nitrogen narcosis usually affects the average person between the 85 to 125 foot levels. Until a diver is accustomed to his own depth of attack, he should be accompanied by a diver who is under control of himself and can watch for the danger signs to appear. If, however, one has experienced this rapture, it i s possible to control his actions and be conscious of what is happening. By far the worst enemy of the diver Is PANIC. Good initial instruction on diving habits and a good knowledge of your equipment w i l l build up confidence in a diver and this sport can be a lot of fun. When a diver suddenly finds his hoses filled with water, he could panic and be killed. If he had good instruction, he would Imow that by turning onto his left side, the water would drain out of the exhaust hose and he would be able to get a i r . There are many such circumstances that a diver can find himself in, and to overcome most of the dangers, one should not dive alone. Even the most experienced divers find a "buddy" i s most comforting while worldng or playing in the depths. NATURE'S SCRAPBOOK That changing weather patterns can effect migratory bird routes Is Indicated in Game Dept. studies this year. Sightings of Whistling swans found far from their usual routes were numerous allover the Lower Mainland during November, 1965. It has been suggested that weather patterns were more than ordinarily disturbed, resulting In the swans and other migratory birds alighting in a confused state in strange regions.
