Leyland as chairman of the newly formed Garibaldi Highway Association was a public iiml well d ese rv ^ acknowledgement of his continued efforts, to have the Garibaldi »rea made a national park with a high- wjiy thereto from Vancouver. F o r ' years now and almost alone he has been addressing various prominent public bodies on the subject: And, while all acknowledged' the force of his statements, he still remained largely "a Voice crying in the wilderness." . , All that wias changed by the construction of the Lions Gale Bridge. Prom' the tim e when traffic begiau to roll over its span the subject became a m atter th a t must and ought to bo dealt with immediately. For a; Garibaldi National Park connected by highway with Vancouver was a natural step as well as the next step a fte r the construction of the bridge, particularly in view of the fac t th a t the area is only fifty mile*? from, the city. The proposed new highway to the park will be an exten'- sion of Marine Drive, continuing up Howe Sound and thence by way of Cheakamus Canyon and Pemberton Meadows to Garibaldi. Eventually i t is , hoped to build the highway to Lillooet, thus making it possible.for autoists to take a triangu-, lar trip to and from Vancouver by the use. of the present road down the Fraser Canyon. A special committee has been appointed consisting of Reeve J. B. Leyland, George Murray^ M.L.A., of Lillooet, and Alderman Fred Crone of Vancouver, who will discuss the sub- ■Aject further with the Provincial Government, and will make a report, to a meeting to be called a t an early date. Garibalm,"now increased from 640 square miles to 1,400 square miles t6 -satisfy the 'requirements of^;he _Dominion Government for a national park, is an area of glorious natural beauty. .Its many mountains, if not as high as the Rockies contain much magnificent scenery, while the glacial features to be found there are unrivalled anywhere: in the province ■ to say nothing orthe'beaufies of fHeUbra and fauna abounding' r within its limits. Aesthetically it has every attraction to offer the tourist From a business 'standpoint the' construction of the highway alone, tp say nothing of w hat will have to be' done in the park itself, will provide work for a considerable period for our many unemployed. And, in view of the great importance of the tourist industry,to Canada, it-is. woijk-which, w ilt yield heavy financial returns from th is source not only to Vancouver and this municipality, but .to the province as a whole. Under the nrciimstances, therefore, the committee and the new Garibaldi h^ighway Association are assured of the support of the public jjLGreater Vancouver-on-both-sides-df-the4nlet"as--9̂ ^̂ -- all thqse who live in th a t section of the country.which will be .served by the new h i g h w a y . ____ ______________ ^ 2ND BOY SCOUT GROUP DANCE MAY DAY COMMITTEE COMING EVENl'S The annual meeting of the Saturday evening, April 1st p 1938 May Day Committee will be Pati ick s D ^ c e of the 2nd West held a t 8 p.m. next Tuesday, Vancouver Boy Scout Group to March 21st, in the Council Cham- 1^ held, tomorrow (Friday) in ber, A full attendance is re- the Orange Hall.
