Good Good CLOTHES Brief on Indian Rights Major Work at Brotherhood Meet Week-Long Conference At Massett Expected to End Today MASSETT More than two score delegates of the Native Brotherhood of British Columbia expected today to conclude their annual conference whicl? for the past week has kept them busy considering a massive legislation committee report, resolutions,' revisions to the constitution and the election of new officers. Major item on the agenda was the report of the Brotherhood's legislation committee which was proposed under chairmanship of Rev. Peter Kelly of Ocean Falls, and is to be presented as a brief on Indian rights to the joint Senate-Commons Indian Affairs committee, probably some time this year. The report was broken down by the conference and consider ed item by item over a three-day period in a series of sessions frnm ivhirh it pmprirpH hfistcnllv! unchanged, and with only minor Ject to taxation without repre-additions by the Relegates. jsentation in Parliament.

Indians to the parliamentary Joint committee. MAJOR POINTS FOR LEGISLATION Major points in the legislative committee's report, which will be the basis of the Brotherhood's brief, are: 1.

Band membership should b? put on a more flexible basis. The band itself should have authority to decide what persons should have the right to be admitted. At present the Indian Bureau decides such mat ters. 3. Natives should not be sub- eligible for all the social benefits that white men enjoy, including social services, the right to be civil servants and the right to pre-empt land. 4. Present enfranchisement provisions in the Indian Act arc not satisfactory. The brief suggests Indian representation in Parliament similar to that enjoyed by the New Zealand Moaris who have their own representatives, and yet still enjoy their aboriginal rights. The brief cites the status of Alaskan natives as an example of their contention that where natives enjoy the franchise, there are indications of greater progress among the race. 5. Eligibility to vote in Do minion Elections. j 6. Indian reservations should j be held exclusively for the benefit of the Indian people, and there should be no encroachment by whites as long as the reservations exist. 7. Indian day and residential schools should be free from religious denominational control, and should be dericted by the Dominion government directly. 8. The federal government should encourage and assist the establishment of native industries such as canneries, sawmills and fur farms on the reserves. These should be operated on a co-operative basis. The brief maintains that sonic of the existing protective features of the present Indian Act should be preserved but argues that band funds what's your on 1 BRUCE WEBB'S WORKBOAT DETOUR GETS THERE IN SPITE OF NAME Was it a plane? A Gull? Superman? No, none of these. Inspection at the Cow Bay floats revealed that it was Bruce Webb's new workboat-gillnetter Detour, a craft with an unusual turn of speed for such prosaic jobs. It has, according to Mr. Webb, been logged at 15.8 knots. Harry Ward, who designed the 34-foot vessel and Installed the engine, has enthusiasm about it that seems to operate at several revolutions per minute more than Mr. Webb's, and Mr. Webb's enthusiasm is at a high pitch. "That 15.8 knots," Mr. Ward pointed out, is nautical miles. That would be better than 17 land miles an hour. It Is cer tainly the fastest boat or its kind out of Prince Rupert, and I doubt if there is a work boat on the coast that is as fast." should be more directly under the control of the band council, rather than under the Indian Agent as at present. So broad in scope was thU legislative committee report that it covered a large part .of the resolutions whicii delegates had prepared for submission to the meeting. These resolutions were withdrawn later, leaving the resolutions session much less busy than had originally been anticipated. Resolutions and the report of the auditing committee were presented on Monday, and the conference hoped to continue today with the elections of 1947-48 officers. Revisions to the constitution also took up considerable time during the latter part cf last week. MANY SOCIAL FUNCTIONS Strain of the conference was relieved during the first four 'nights by social functions. On the opening night, a welcoming banquet was sponsored by the Native Sisterhood, while on Tuesday night, the Women's Auxiliary to St. John's Anglican Church sponsored a banquet. Wednesday night's banquet was sponsored by Chief William Matthews, while on Thursday J night, the "45-70" Club put onl an old time dance that was a brilliant success. Social func tions were suspended on Good Friday, being replaced by church services. Saturday night, the delegates held a night session that precluded social activity. score 2 'l10 earlier hours of sleep are truo: Science has found the arc most beneficial.

Although she has a round bottom, she stands up and planes like a V-bottom boat when approaching her sub-stratospheric top speed. Her ply-wood pilot house U streamlined and her after holds commodious. Her speed, according to both her designer and builder, is In her design. Mr. Webb built the Detour at his home at Morse Cove on the south bank of the Skeena mouth. He plans to use It for general work, Including gill netting. At present, he is also building a troller from designs by Mr. Ward, which both feel, will set a speed pattern for that usually slow typo of boat. The Detour is powered by a 100 h.p. Scrlpps gas engine, with dual carburatlon. At top speed, the engine operates at 3,000 revolutions, turning a 23-lnch propellor on a 2,2 to 1 reduction gear. Mr. Webb calculates that when the" engine is broken in It can be operated at better than 2,600, giving a cruising speed of about 15 knots. The 34-foot troller that he is building will have a cruising speed of Vt knots, he anticipates, which will be four knots faster than any troller In the district. Mr: Ward Is also Installing a 150 h.p. Scrlpps In Chris Vlktil's 46-foot halibutter Pauline V, replacing an eight cylinder Universal. Operating a 30-Inch propellor with 2 to 1 reduction, they anticipate that the Pauline V probably will be capable of 9 knots, a slight Increase overher former speed.
