New Roads, Ferries Lead Motorlog Travelers to B. C. Sunshine Coast Scenery Similar To Alaska's Is In Easy Access The following Is condensa tion of motorlof appearing June I In North wet rotogravure magazine of The Sunday Ore gonlan. It le one of an annual erlei iponeorod Jointly by The Oregonlan and the Oregon State Motor aiioclatlon. BV ALBERT McCREADY Anoclt : jiditor, The Oretonltn Just i, )rth of Vancouver on the British Columbia coast, an easy day'g drive from Portland, lies a vacation paradise almost unknown to Northwest motor ist. The Sechelt (pronounced sea shelt) peninsula until recent years was Inaccessible by road. But now, fast, frequent ferry service, across the deep, wide Inlets which had cut off the peninsula from civilization has opened up a new resort area with lakes and bays teeming with fish, scenery akin to Alaska's and a climate unbeliev' ably mild. The "Sunshine Coast" is what Sechelt boosters call their pen insula, and they have the sta tistics to pove it Rain clouds which annually dump an aver age of 66 Inches of precipitation on Vancouver, B. C., somehow seem to dodge the area to the north. There, the annual rain fall Is a mere 28 Inches, and skies are bright and blue all around the calendar. Last year Black Ball ex tended Us ferry service from Earl Cove, at the north end of the peninsula, to Saltery bay, giving the city of Powell River its first direct link to the Brit ish Columbia mainland. The first trip of the Oregon State Motor association's white motorlog car to the new north ern end of highway 99 was made over roads ranging from fair to excellent. Taved Road Added Half the 60-mile highway across Sechelt peninsula is hard surfaced, and half the remain ing 30 miles of graveled road will be paved this summer. To visit the peninsula, the tourist leaves Vancouver through 1000-acre Stanley park and crosses the Lions Gate sus pension bridge (the longest In the British commonwealth) spanning Burrard inlet. A pleasant 15-mile trip along Marine drive, which winds through a lovely shoreslde resi dential district, ends at the ferry slip at Horseshoe bay. The 11-mile voyage across Howe sound to Gibsons takes 70 minutes and costs $3 per car plus $1 per passenger. Children under 12 go for half fare and those under 5 ride free There are good motels and hotels here and there, with more a-bullding, but unless reservations are made in ad vance, travelers are likely to find them all full. A wise precaution for first timers on the peninsula would be a phone call from Vancouver to Bill McAfee, president of the Sunshine Coast Tourist associ ation at Gibsons. Fishermen can bring their boats and motors with them, but they needn't Soaworthy small boats equipped with air- cooled Inboard motors are avail able for rental at reasonable rates all along the peninsula. , Powell Riverc? Saltery Bay 5f I r - - ' j r-.i n .. . r Pender Harbor JSechelt v A Horseshoe Bay Map shows combination of road and water routes linking Vancouver, B. C, north coast. Favorite spots for salmon are Gower point, a short distance from Gibsons, and Half Moon bay and Secret cove. When westerly winds make the strait too rough for small boats, sheltered Pender harbour (yes, they use the "u" in British Columbia) offers good fishing. No license is required in salt water. Trout Fishing Good For those who want to Invest in a nonresident license, there's good lake and stream fishing for trout and steelhead in sea son. Jervis inlet, which separates the Sechelt peninsula from what Powell River residents like to call the "Powell Riv iera," is a great slash running a full 50 miles Inland. From the Jervis inlet, cutting back south into the Sechelt peninsula, is Sechelt Inlet, almost as large as its parent and linked to it by a very narrow passage. All the water needed to raise the whole Sechelt inlet must pass through this bottleneck when the 12-foot British Columbia tide comes in. And when the tide turns, It all rushes out again. From Earl cove to Saltery bay is a nine-mile 50-minute ferry ride at the same rates. Here one passes the deepest spot on the B. C. coast, a 2400 foot "hole" In the ocean floor. More excellent scenery and fishing opportunities are found north of Jervis Inlet. Some visitors may wish to look over the paper plant which is Powell River's principal industry. Some of the paper on which The Ore gonian is printed comes from this, the world's biggest single unit paper mill, capable of turn ing out a ribbon of newsprint at the rate of 2000 feet a minute.

Breakdown of carotene, or vitamin A, in older stacks has been eyed as a possible threat to meeting animal requirements of the vitamin. Symptoms of vita min A deficiency are breeding difficulties, unthrifty calves and in extreme cases, night blindness. Pregnant cows, especially, should receive adequate levels of the vitamin. One of the probable trouble spots was Eastern Oregon where stacks of native flood meadow hay are often held for a year or two as insurance against poor hay years or heavier feeding dur ing harsher than normal winters. The OSC study shows that cat tle should have no trouble get ting vitamin A requirements from native hay up to two years old. Findings were reported by W. A. Sawyer, superintendent of the Squaw Butte-Harney experi ment station at Burns where the tests were conducted, and J. R. Schubert, OSC agricultural chem ist. Chemical analysis of 61 sam ples of flood-meadow hay mainly sedge and rush showed that it went into the stack aver aging about 40 parts per million carotene. Carotene losses in the stack samples beneath the heav ily weathered ouler layer aver aged about 60 percent the first year, dropping the carotene count to 16 parts per million. Of the remaining carotene, 50 percent was lost the second year, bringing it down to 8 parts per million. A 1000-pound pregnant cow can winter satisfactorily on hay testing 7.3 parts per million, according to the National Re search Council. Actual feeding practices in the area lessen the carotene prob lem even more. Previous tests at the experiment station, Sawyer says, showed that animals store high quantities of vitamin A in the liver while grazing lush spring grsses.
