Democracy boasts that it is the voice of the people. Democ-

racy will therefore be in great demand Monday, Jan. 11 when
White Rock plays hest to one of the largest gatherings of gov
ernment. civic and service group leaders ever staged In this
area. These distinguished guests will hear plans for the de
velopment of the entire Semiahmoo Bar foreshore which would
offer the finest beach and salt water attractions In Canada and
perhaps even in North America. | |

The voice of the people, however, will be needed to cvli-
inee the representatives of senior governments that this piar |
the support and enthusiasm of the residents of the Lower
Mainland. We have heard a great deal recently about sovern

ent money being spent in regulated and unregulated areas. Ii

ine
fhe governments have a policy established which does not per-
mit them to spend funds in regulated areas, then it is up to

the people to change that policy by proving to the government
it should be changed |

Samiahmoo Beach Improvement Association is looking [or
ward to receiving the finest co-operation possible from the pro
vincial and federal cabinets and we are sure that our capable

thal

nan. MP, will agaim be doing everything in their power to sc
we receive that co-operation.

We must prove to these gentlemen and to all other dele-
gates that as the semior governments will be sharing the
cost of any such development. that we in this area are strongly
behind the proposed four-point plan. We can only do this bs
attending the meeting on Monday, January 11 at 2 p.m. at

‘Little’ mishaps costly

Each year, “little” accidents which seldom make the head-
iimes, cost Canadians more than $3,900,000, according to the A!!
Canada Insurance Federation

Many of these accidents occur during the winter, and most
could be avoided through care and attention. The Federation,
whick represents more than 250 Canadian fire, casualty and
aulomeohile insurance compani¢s, makes these recommendations
for winter safety around the home:

lL Keep sidewalks shovelled and clear of ice and stow
at ail times.

2. Check exterior stairways and entrances for loose boards,
nails and other disrepair which might cause injury.

2 Clear large icicles from the eaves. They can cause
geTious injury when they fall.
74 Make sure that snow shovels. garden rakes, children's
loys anc similar items are kept clear of walks and not hidden

under a deceptive layer of snow.
