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. ,

Map shows combination of
road and water routes linking

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.

Darrell Marlow, who Is em

weekend at the home of his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mar
low. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ander-
egg and daughter Barbara have
returned from several weeks
spent at their summer home at
Long Beach, Wash. Recent visi
tors of the Andereggs while they
were there were j Mr. and Mrs.
A. R. Fortner and Mr. and Mrs.
Tom Gardner. The Gardners
have purchased property near the
Anderegg's home at Long Beach
and plan to build a, cabin there
in the near future.
Mr. and Mrs. Elvin Ely and
Mr. and Mrs. Leo Potts went
to the Trout Creek Bible camp
near Corbett Saturday to get
Eileen Ely, Irene Potts, Patsy
Miller and Leonard Bedord, who
spent the weeke there.
Vern Alexander, potato Inspec
tor from Milton-Freewater, has
rented one of the Ray Brown
apartments during the potato
harvest which is in full swing
here now.
1, 2 Year- Old Hay
Found to Contain
Adequate Carotene
One and two-year-old hay may
be better cattle feed than once
thought likely, Oregon State col
lege researchers report.
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. The stored vita
