Twelve years ago she made a trip from her home in Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island, to Port Al-bcrni for a visit, and "I noticed It was quite a little jaunt between the two towns and it might be a good Idea to start a "Jitney" service." So Mrs. Ingham borrowed some money and bought an nnclent Jaloppy, Installed here elf ps driver.
