1945. The best we have to date deals not with fish but with mice.
Three stalwart fishermen, Norman Shillitto, Les Cunliffe and Stan
Watling went fishing. They fished and they fished until it became
dusk, then they decided to camp on Sidney Spit. While eating their
frugal meal, so the story goes, although with the proprietor of a
grocery along it would seem strange that the meal be frugal, a rustling.

“In: the past, this scheme was: given in: ‘co-operation with the: Dominion :

This year assistance to students has’ been. extended, . ‘but with

fundamental change of ‘policy.

“The Government of the: ‘Province the :

that students who are assisted in this way should undertake to return.

‘ assistance on this basis not only indicates a good attitude, but the monies

_A willingness: to accept

returned can be used to build. up. a revolving: fund; to, assist worthy ue
‘students in future years. :

Commencing this year, assistance will take the form of a continua-
tion of the old: bursary scheme, together. with a loan granted. from
Provincial: funds, on the basis’ of 60% bursary and 40% loan. -

In addition to the students eligible in former years, it is felt that
those wishing to increase their knowledge and skill in vocational work

should also be assisted...

Arrangements have been made to make:

loans to such students from Provincial funds.

It continues to be the policy of the Department of Education to
encourage students to seek their training within their own Province
but, if the courses desired are not offered in the Province of British
Columbia, students may be assisted to attend institutions elsewhere.
‘This applies particularly to students in Medicine, Dentistry, and Law.

‘The scheme is organized ‘under five sections as follows :— 7 oo
