B. M. wBatt" Maclntyre Coalition Candidate Mackenzie (Provincial) Election June 15, 1949

^ For the past eight years the people of Mackenzie Riding have been wand- ering along the trails and bypaths of political exile.

-^ Being "agin" the government may have been fun to start with. It's a pretty grim joke after eight years.

^ Coalition has given the people of British Columbia Good Government — the best in its history. * ,

^ Let US elect a representative who enjoys the support and confidence of that government—who can speak in its name—and backed by the full weight of its authority and cooperation.

^ The old wilderness trails are behind. The main road is just ahead. Which way will we travel in the next fouryears?

* Get off the trails and by-paths. Take the Main Road to Victoria with . . .

The modern elementary school pictured above is one of four proposed units on the Sechelt Peninsula, the others are at Sechelt, Roberts Creek and Gibsons. As a result of thorough investigation by the School Board and on the advice of competent * • _ educational authorities a program involving the construction of these well designed schools is planned. Their construction will modernize our school system and provide educational faci lities equal to any. Can we afford to do less for the citizens of tomorrow? Who can say our youngsters shouldn't have every opportunity to equip themselves for life's responsibilities. We Owe It to Ourselves We Owe It to Our Community We Owe It to Our Children

In each new school an auditorium or activities room is provided New construction has lagged due to the scarcity of materials and labour during the war years. for the children during the day—for the adults in the evening for meetings or social gatherings. ' Good schools attract more people—maintain property values. The total cost is $605,000 of which nearly half is paid by the Provincial Approximately two thirds of the money spent will be for labour Government. OUR SHARE IS ONLY $305,000. which will benefit the whole Peninsula.
