closing of the Pilot House in

1920. Captain and Mrs.
Kettle lived out their days in
their home, which was
bequeathed to them upon
Caulfeild’s death. These
twilight years were the
culmination of a long and
colourful career. Mr. Kettle
was born in Cardiff, Wales in
1861 and lived to sail around
Cape Horn eight times, was
shipwrecked six __ times,
owned three of his own ships
and had sailed as second
mate with Captain Woodget
on the ‘Cutty Sark’’.

Marine Drive eventually
reached the Village in 1915,
bringing with it a physical
and economic link with the
municipality, and finally in
1938, four years after Caul-
feild’s death, with the City of
Vancouver.

Vancouver's Co-op -Radio

dial needs money to
continue its role as a
non-commercial alternative
to the mass media. It’s
hoping to raise $5,000 this
Friday; Saturday and Sun-
day, May 13-15, with a
weekend marathon fundrais-
ing appeal. .

The ‘‘radiothon”’ will work
or the same principle as
**‘telethon’’ appeals: such as
those of Channel 9 and the
Variety Club on TV. You tune
and listen. If you feel moved
to give, you phone in your

ST. FRANCIS
IN THE WOOD

In 1928 a churchyard was
donated by Caulfeild, and

the following year a building —

was constructed on the site.
The *‘Grandparents’’ of the
community, Mr. and Mrs.
Kettle, contributed unsel-
fishly with many hours of
physical work, steaming hcet
coffee, and moral support to
the preparation of the site
and the assembling of the
_ church was
designed, and the construc-
tion supervised by Caul-
feild’s historian, Mr. Stone.
The very appropriate name
**St. Francis in the Wood’’
was suggested by Mrs. R.M.
McDonald.
Francis William Caulfeild
died on March 6, 1934 at the

age of ninety-one in London,

England. Mr. Stone writes in
1939:

meetings, CRTC hearings,
the Berger hearings, the
VGH abortion meeting, soap
operas dramatizing real-life
legal problems. live musical
events, women's shows,

children’s shows, labor his-

tory and more.

in the London Times does not

Last month, Leigh Neille received an
eight pound, three ounce baby boy, doz-
ens of best wishes and a husband with a
non-stop smile. What she needed was a

nursery. Niagara thought so too. That's
because Niagara knows a lot about peo-

ideals; he was generous
almost to the point of
quixoticism. Residents of the
village he created, now and
in time to come, will respect
and revere his name and be
grateful to him for their
enjoyment of his planning
and -- the lastin

his generosity -- the public
park.”’
