Family Loses All In Fire-SALT SPRING HOME RAZED

Family of five lost everythingthey possessed when their SaltSpring Island home was destroy-ed by fire in the early hours ofTuesday morning.

Volunteer Fire Department wascalled out at 3 am to fight a firein the home of Mr. and Mrs.Chandler Petersen, on GarnerRoad.

The building was already en-gulfed in flames when firemenarrived. They responded prom-ptly to the alarm, but the firehad gained a firm hold by thetime the Occupants were awareof it.

lAdultsSrere sleeping upstairsand the children down. Duringthe night one of the childrencried persistently and Mrs. Pet-ersen went to her aid. As she

RATEPAYERSMEETING

meeting of the SaltSpring Island Ratepayers Associa-tion will be staged on Tuesdayevening in the high school gym-nasium at Ganges. Meeting willopen at 8 pm to name a" board ofdirectors and to steer a course.

Ratepayers Association waslaunched earlier in the summeras a mouthpiece for islanders*views. It is visualized as an or-ganization without special inter-ests to represent the majority ofSalt Spring Island residents.

It is open to all property own-ers on Salt Spring Island and ev-ery property owner is urged totake part.

Property owners may enrol inthe association on Tuesday even-ing before the meeting starts,from 7 pm to 8 pm, or they maycontact any member of thesteering committee.

walked from the room Mrs. Pet-ersen saw a brown patch form-ing on the ceiling. It was hotto the touch and she roused herhusband.

They took their children outof the building and Mr. Petersenmade one further trip upstairs tothe bedroom. As he entered theroom the ceiling and roof fell inand enveloped the bed.

Firemen concentrated on con-taining the flames as the build-ing burned out completely.

The Petersen family had mov-ed into the house only one daybefore. They had bought furni-ture and appliances but they hadnot yet taken out insurance ontheir possessions.

Firemen remained on thescene until the morning to en-sure that the fire completelyburned itself out.

By Tuesday the fire victimshad gained offers of assistancefrom island service clubs and theLady Minto Hospital Auxiliary.The three adults and two child-ren possessed no clothes otherthan those they escaped with.

Fund for the relief of the firevictims has been established inGanges.

FISHERMAN!BURNEDON BOAT

David Weatherell, of NorthGaliano, has suffered burns tothe arms and face after an ex-plosion aboard a fish boat.

Mr. Weatherell was workingon the motor of a fish boat own-ed by Roger Graham when alight fell on the gas tank, hismother, Mrs. Beryl Weatherellreports. The tank exploded andWeamerell was dragged from theflames by his brother, Rennie,who is also fishing in northerncoastal waters.

Accident occurred at GillenHarbour and the island fishermanwas flown to Prince Rupert Hosp-ital.

Five-year plan for the devel-opment of a major section ofGanges commercial area hasbeen disclosed by Mouat Trad-ing Co. Ltd.

The company acquired Mou-at Bros., Ltd. last year and al-most immediately bought SaltSpring Trading Co. Ltd. and theGanges Crest Restaurant.

BODY RECOVEREDBody of Archibald Darryl Mc-

Arthur was taken from the waterat Henry Island, Haro Strait, onMonday.

McArthur was travelling ab=-oard the Queen of Saanich inActive Pass on Saturday nightwhen he was reported to havegone overboard.

The remains were picked upby RCMP and brought to Gangesafter an extensive search.

McArthur was 36 years of ageand came from West CordovaSt., in Vancouver.

May QueenTo PNEFriday

Salt Spring Island May Queen,Maureen Gurney will be MissSalt Spring Island when she takespart in the P.N.E. parade onSaturday.

Queen Maureen will be attend-ed by her princesses, Betsy Elli-ott and Darcy Saunders. Theywill drive through the paraderoute when the provincial fallfair opens.

The royal party will be acc-ompanied by Mrs. P. H. Know-les, of Ganges. They will drivein the procession in Cam Cart-wright s convertible. Also goingto the mainland for Jthe paradewill be Alfred Temmel, whowill undertake the decoration ofthe car for me event.

The queen and her visit to thePNE are sponsored by the SaltSpring Island Chamber of Com-merce.

Subsequently the companygained approval of its plans toFill the shallow backwater be-hind the fire ':all in Ganges.Since that time the area nasbeen built up and a car parkwill be provided between theGanges Crest and the Bank ofMontreal.

Last week the company purch-ased Ship's Anchor Inn and theforeshore rights extending acrossthe bay to Mouat's store.

Immediate plans call for theconstruction of one new store inthe reclaimed area. PresidentRichard'loynbee told DRIFT-WOOD this week. The parkingarea will be paved and someother construction may be incl-uded, he explained.

The sketch shown above ofthe Ganges area visualizes tent-ative plans for the developmentover the next five years. Theexistent structures, Mouat'sStore and the Post Office, formthe eastern boundary of a shop-ping complex with pedestrianmalls and a marine promenade.

Hereford Ave. would form across roads with a new access tothe shopping area built at thatpoint.

Complete sewage plant isplanned to take care of the needneeds of the trading centre.

The ultimate pattern of devel-opment has not been established,explained Mr. Toynbee, but itwill be in keeping with the Isl-and background and will featuresuch rustic effects as cedar shakeroofs and natural finishes.

THREATENED BY STENCH

Need For Sewers Increases At GangesBY FRANK RICHARDS

Ganges is approaching thepoint where it is likely to drownin its own discharges.

Every year has brought an in-creasing odour of filth aroundthe harbour. This year the od-our of Ganges Harbour has rival-led that of the Gorge, near Vic-toria. The pattern is the same.

The odour has been growing

for the past five years or more.This year it has been richer,deeper and a little more revolt-ing-

There is no apparent danger.A few visitors may retch at theodour if it continues unabated,but a foul smell has yet to killanyone. Many on Salt Spring Is-land have probably got so usedto it they no longer notice asmell at all.

The Salt Spring Island Cham-ber of Commerce investigatedthe need for a sewer system fiveyears ago. The question was atthat time an old issue and hadbeen debated some years earlier.

A committee undertook exten-sive enquiries and returned tothe community with the reportthat in order to gain every avail-able assistance, the area aroundGanges would be best advised to

incorporate as a village.Not everyone wanted incorpor-

ation. Many property ownersfelt that self-government wouldbe more costly. Others vigorous-ly denied any suggestion of poll-ution of the harbour. Yet othersattributed the odour to vesselstied up in the yacht basin.

The plan for incorporationfailed by a narrow margin. In

Twoislands-TwoMuseums

Two islands are busy collect-ing evidence of the past. Whenrecent reports told of the prog-ress of Salt Spring Island Mus-eum, Vic Haggart, of Mayne,was keenly interested.

Mr. Haggart is chairman ofthe Mayne Island CentennialCommittee and the island proj-ect is an island museum.

On Salt Spring Island Ed Will-iams and Dave Winter havesponsored the island museum.

Mr. Haggart reports on MayneIsland's plans in the followingcomments.

Mayne Island 1971 CentennialCommittee is watching the pro-gress of a museum on Salt SpriigIsland with gre.-n interest; parti -cularly as our centennial projectis to establish a museum onMayne Island. May we take thisopportunity to appeal for itemswhich have associations withMayne Island to place in ourmuseum.

Some people might ask, whyare there museums and who isresponsible for their existence?Museums are created to houseand preserve a wide range of ob-jects and records related to thepast. In gathering this materialtogether and making sure that itis not destroyed, we are preser-ving the evidence of history notonly for the present generations,but for posterity. It is a feelingfor history and for the thingswhich belong to history and per-haps most important of all, asense of duty to those who comeafter us, that motivates the ma-kers of museums. A sense ofpride in their own local historyis also an incentive to establishsuch a collection.

the light of later developments,it may be fortunate that the rate-payers were not all in agree ""totwith the plan.

When the plan was produced,it sailed for discharge of rawsewage into Ganges Harbour,be-yond the dead waters at the headof the harbour.

Today, such a proposal wouldmeet with heated opposition.Fewvoters would countenance thedischarge of untreated sewage in-to the harbour. Few could acc-ept that the harbour is a suitabledisposal area. Any new planmust provide for an acceptableand adequate treatment of thesewage and very careful consid-eration must be given to the na-ture of any fluid turned into theharbour.

This year has seen the SaltSpring Island Chamber of Com-merce investigate further the in-stallation of sewers in the area.The report was received with noenthusiasm. The cost appearedhigh.

There has been a change inadministration since the matterwas first discussed. The Region-al District has come to the capi-tal. The Regional District has awealth of information and an ex-tensive staff at its disposal. Wheiethe chamber of commerce fum-bled for lack of funds and author-ity, the Regional District canforge ahead.

It is high time the Capital Re-gional District made itself acute-ly aware of the state of GangesHarbour. It is time the samedistrict came to the assistance ofthe island and investigated thewhole dirty picture here.

The concerned people of SaltSpring Island cannot face thisproblem without assistance. Wemust know whether the problemis likely to go away if we don'tlook; whether the state of Gan-ges Harbour is largely from loc-al plumbing or from small boats;whether it is dangerous or likelyto become dangerous, what isthe minimum possible disposalsystem and what is the lowestpossible cost to the ratepayer.

Mr. Marc Holmes, as the SaltSpring Island Director of the Ca-pital Regional District, wouldwell serve his electorate if hewould investigate the feasibilityof assistance from the districtand this, as soon as it can beundertaken.

In the meantime the peopleof the Ganges community mustmeet the matter with common-sense and accept that unlesr "%•rrective measures are taken mthe near future, Ganges willdrown in a cess pxDol of its ownmaking.

to be frank

By Richards

Taken a walk lately?Why not take the family for a

walk some evening around Gan-ges Harbour? The view is mag-nificent and the stench is onlystrong when you are close to it.

And we must.i *t knock it forthe stink. The view is as goodK ever it was. It just reeks a

urtle and if your stomach isstrong you don*t even notice it.

Most of us enjoy it. It meansdollars and cents in the bank.

Only a year or so ago therewas a move to eliminate thestench and the people of Gangeswere smart enough to see that itwas all part of an ulterior moveto develop business in die down-town area.

If we had been fooled our ta-xes would have gone up and theonly benefit would have been adifferent smell. ..or worse, nosmell at all!

Most of us like it. After all,we are responsible for it. Sowe can say to tourists, "If youdon't like the way we smell,go and sniff somewhere else!"

There are enough oysters andcrabs and clams to get rid ofthe real solid stuff in the bayand most of us gave up eatingthose fish years ago.Welre notthat stupid!

It's probably from the boats,anyway!

And think of die saving!If anyone wants to fight poll-

ultion go and look for the realpolluters, not die simple peoplewho happen to live around areal fishy harbour.

Most of what you smell is sea-weed, anyway!

And we'd rather smell it,whatever it is, than pay for acostly sewer system to benefitjust one or two people.

Here's another pointed poemfrom A. M. Spencer:

COLD AUTHORITY

The B.C. Ferries fleet was running one ship short atthe week end, but there was no scarcity of passengers .The picture opened on Friday afternoon with a heavyrun on ferries and the Queen of Victoria yet in dockundergoing repairs after her brief tussle with a freighter

At Swartz Bay on Friday evening there was a line-upof cars extending south almost to within sight of Sand-own Race Track. The cars were parked on the edge ofthe highway, while RCMP from Sidney flagged downall cars and directed them either to the queue, if theywere aiming for the mainland, or to the ferry compoundif they were travelling to the islands.

Hundreds of cars stood idle for long periods.Some prospective passengers were wrathful at the de

lay. While some criticized the ferry staff, others con-fined their sharp comments to the province. Said oneOntario traveller, "What's so beautiful about B.C.?"Few frustrated passengers paused to reflect that one ma-rine accident had caused all the delay and left the au-thority short of one ferry at the peak of the season.

Biggest single complaint was lack of food or drinksfor stranded passengers. Cars parked outside the ferrycompound were unable to use the coffee bar facilitieslocated at the terminal. Children were thirsty andfretful and deprived of any opportunity of quenchingtheir thirst.

The provi ncial government and its ferry spokesmenexpressed opposition several years ago to the establish-ment of a restaurant at Swartz Bay, even outside theferry terminal compound.

When such a venture was under discussion the ferryauthority spoke against it for fear that it might cutdown on food sales aboard the ships.

This policy has resulted in the provision of food anddrink inside the compound only. Not until a car hasbeen admitted to the compound may the passengers en-joy the use of ferry terminal facilities.

The authority is enjoying this monopoly at the ex -pense of the public it serves.

This cold indifference to the wellbeing of any BritishColumbian who is not riding the ferries is a bad tasteof bureaucracy. The authority becomes more importantthan the people who support it. This is absurd.

The ferry authority must be prepared to serve all thepeople at the terminal or else withdraw its objectionto opposition.

The dog in the ferry manger is a bit rough on thehungry hordes.

Sparr-ows here take crumbs all daybut from the feeding tablethough one or two song sparrowswill come very close when I amputting food out. I never staylong enough to get so chummy.Too bad we are so rushed withlife that we miss out on manyhappy little things.necessary if our beautiful GulfIslands are to be preserved in-their natural beautiful state in-sofar as is possible.

We were disgusted and asham-ed at the behaviour of those whoabused and embarrassed Mr. Hen-ry Schubart and Mr. MarcusHolmes at a meeting held inFulford Hall on June 22 last.

We quite realize that smallneighborhood stores and the likethat have been in operation formany years feel, and rightly so,that they may be discriminatedagainst. It does not seem feas-ible to presume that they willsuddenly be all {tut out of busi-ness.

Like the majority of residentshereabouts we wish to see the is-land maintained largely as a ru-ral area, although realizing thatconcessions must be made attimes. However, heavy indust-ry should never be allowed...we have enough heavy industryin the shape of bulldozers up-rooting the landscape!

Land disposal of sewage ismost necessary. Therefore lotsizes (with regard to privatedwellings) should be kept a suit-able size for such.

It has occurred to me that aPublic Relations Committee (aspecial one) is needed in orderto avoid all this misunderstand-ing -of the motives of the variousplanning boards. Lack of com-munication is appalling at alllevels not to mention apathy a-mong the people.

Creamy, cotton-wool cloudslike puffballs over the hills...the sea matching the sky forblueness and the breezes comingin warm, with golden sun rays,what a heavenly Sunday morn-ing! So I chortle a little and theday chortles with me... it isgood to be alive!

Visiting Mr. and Mrs. RichardDayment and family recentlywere Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hans-on of Carston, Alta. ,The Day-ments have just arrived homeafter spending a glorious holidayvisiting in Calgary, Edmontonand other places. Now they arebusy trying to beat the weedgrowing system we have on thisIsland - go away for a week ortwo, or even a few days and allthe weeds get the signal and gohog-wild amongst the tameplants. If you can't get Mrs.Dayment on the phone, she isprobably having an argumentwith the weeds! We all knowher problem and sympathise.But a holiday is worth all thatso don't let the weeds get youdown.

There was a terrific flap outon the beach at low tide yester-day when several of those biggrey cranes got into an argumentover territorial rights. Whenthree or four of those big birdswant the same locality, the ar-gument is loud and flappy - no

donated folding chairs.The upright piano, a Domin-

ion Cabinet Grand, belonged toRev. Robert Aylward, FenderUnited, in 1928. On his deathin 1929, Mrs. A. H. Menziesbought it, leaving it to stepsonVictor Menzies. Pianist is Eli-zabeth Klassen, Kelowna. DaveGriffin and guests take services.

All are welcome.The kitchen staff got its el-

bows out of the sink, and spudpeelings, to chat a minute. Topcook, Miss Mary Tipman, isfrom Three Hills, Alta. Mrs. VIClark, second cook, Tsawwassen.Handyman Worsfold, North Sur-rey. Cooking staff is normallyfive.

"Lunch and supper are bigmeals" Mary says. "110 to cookfor. Over 300 pancakes forbreakfast. This week, 87 chil-dren, from 8 to 12. Last week,10 to 12. Before that, 8 to 10."

Others gathered around thecounter. Joe-boy Jim Bradley,Burnaby, sets wood from undera plastic shelter; lugs potatosacks from rootcellar; "emptiesgarbage. He's librarian, too.

A lot of them use the books.Mostly Christian literature, andsome mystery stories." Jim got a6" fish, using unbaked hook,nylon thread, wound on an aldertwig.

Vi Clark's Dan, 16, is a coun-sellor. " I look after the kids.There are 9 children and 2counsellors in each cabin." Ca-binmate Steve Rigby, Gibsons,sees "they clean up for meals,brush their teeth; are quiet dur-ing siesta; say their prayers; aresound asleep by 10, get up at7:30."

Counsellor Lynn Schrader isfrom Portland, Ore.; Stan Por-ritt, Edmonton.

Heather Griffin, 14, does di-shes, cleans vegies, makespuddings. "All I know is, theyeat a lot!" Dale Worsfold adds,"I mix the drinks! Ajbjble juice,cocoa, for breakfast. Kooladefor lunch and sometimes supper.Tea or coffee for 20 counsellors,including cooks and generalhelpers." The whistle round hisneck? "To signal the end ofone event and the start of ano-ther. I wear it mostly for dec-oration!"

Dave lights the diningroom'sthumping Dig heater, early.From 1909 it lived in the base-ment of Hope Bay CommunityHall, chomping cordwood; blow-ing heat up through 2 pipes.

Multi-colored plastic disheson bright oilcloth, shine on 13tables, each with its jam jar,sprouting flowers, from Mrs.Menzies garden, picked byMrs. Monte Mack, the groovystory-teller.

There's football, Softball, te-ther ball, badminton, ping-pongarchery, darts, water-skiing,swimming, fishing, hiking. Ov-ernight camping for 13-17 years.If wet, scrabble, chess, check-ers; the library. Singalongs andskits.

July 16, 1961, Jonathan andBob Taylor, Ganges, conductedthe first bible camp, bringing 6boys from Salt Spring. July 24

was a girls' camp. Jonathanmarried in 1962, and his wifehelped. There were 22 aroundthe bonfire fer closing exercises.

April 12, 1962, Victor Men-zies deeded 8 acres to the Mis-sion.

"In 1964, we built one cabin,and the floor for a small dining-room," Dave says. "We pitch-ed tents for the kitchen anddining hall. We had 3 one-week sessions, with 75 children.

"This year, most are Van-couver and lower mainland. Abusload of Seattle teenagerscame for a week. We had 15from Salt Spring. Beverley,daughter of Sergeant Lewis, R.C.M.P.; and Trevor, son ofDr. Edward Dixon, Ganges. Forevery recruit a camper brings,not related to him, he earns $1toward his fees. Tr- ever waschampion. He brought in sev-en!"

"All staff are voluntary. Herefor what they can put into it;not get out of it. Campers pay$18 a week, including ferryfare. We can keep it low, be-cause people offer their help."

The tone comes from the topand the Provincial Director ofthe Canadian Sunday SchoolMission for B. C., speaks outsoft and clear. How did he getup mere?

Victor and Helen (Gordon)Griffin from Kidderminster; Bap-tist Missionaries, left Englandfor the Belgian Congo. Davidborn in Leopoldville, was thereuntil 6. Next stops, Brussels,Birmingham, then Toronto, be-fore going to Villa Rica EspiritoSanto, Paraguay. Finishedschool in Torontq' trained forthe ministry and had a non-denominational church in Stew-artville, near the Mayo Clinic,Minnesota. Then to B. C.,and under doctor's orders,changed jobs. In VancouverEaton's he worked from stock-room to stock audit. Thence tcthe Mission.

There are over 8,000 in the40 camps across Canada. In rur-al areas, where no Sunday •;schools existed, the Mission star-ted them. Many developed intosmall churches. In country dist-ricts, the Mission holds weeklyvacation bible schools, from 9to noon. Then the children gohome.

" A special aim is to providehealthy activity, and experiencein outdoor living; and in such asetting, to teach the God-givenstandards of moral and ethicalvalues. Parroted spirit ual stan-dards, produce no change in theindividual's behaviour. Theremust be application of the stand-ards to one*s own life. We feelthe answer to the problems oflife is to be found in the personof Jesus Christ.

"We see dramatic changes incampers from every background,who learned that Jesus Christ canbe Saviour, not just in a far-awayfuture, but for today's needs.

"Each year we try to add anextra week of camp, so that thewhole summer may be taken up.Prince George, the largest, withsome 700 campers, operates allsummer."

That's the Peace River Country.It's prairie country in the Nor-

thern Light, where they growwheat and live by the elements.It's not just like the eastern prai-rie provinces where they are wor-ried about selling their wheat;in the Peace River they are moreconcerned about growing it. Lastyear's crop, they reported, waswashed out.

That's how you know it is, infact, part of British Columbia.Excess of rain is a rare problemto the Canadian grower anywhereelse.

The Peace River country is se-curely tied to British Columbiafor all that it is on the easternside of the Rockies.

There are heavy lines of oiland natural gas and these havebeen augmented by wire cablestyi ng the Bennett Dam to thecoast. Which is another proof.

There just couldn't be a Ben-nett Dam in Alberta. Nor aWilliston Lake...nor a ShramPower Station. This naming forpoliticians is for the birds, any-way.

To get to Peace River youhave to drive over the Hart High-way or go out of the province.How many tourists know whoJohn Hart was? How many exp-ect to find the city of Hart at the

end of the Hart Highway and aresurprised to find Peace instead?

B.C-ing is Believing, said theprovince.

So for 10 days I went believing,From Ganges to Tsawwassen tothe Cariboo and the Peace River.

It was an interesting journey.The drive to Caeite Creek is spe-ctacular and the posted speed of60 is too fast to take in the sur-roundings. It wasn't too fast forthe tank trailer unit to overtakeacross a double line and on abend. That was the first shakerof the journey. Drivers of thebig combination units are usual-ly very competent.

From Cache Creek me roadshrinks from the Trans-CanadaHighway to a second-rate two-lane highway. In fairness to thedepartment of highways, thesmaller road was oy no meanscrowded.

The road from Cache Creekto Clinton glitters with non-dis-posable bottles. Every drinkingdriver in the province must sure-ly drive there to unload hisglassware?

As you move north you arereminded of the plaint of JimMoney on Saturna. He proteststhe sewage and garbage sweptup on his beach by the Fraser.

Each sizeable town on the.Fraser takes up its domestic wa-ter from the river and carefullydischarges its soiled water down-stream. By the time it gets tothe Fraser Canyon you begin towonder who is really getting thedirty deal, the islanders whoswim in it or the townsmen whodrink it.

Prince George, once the wildhoyden of the northern towns isnow the sedate young civic mat-ron of the interior. Green parks,elegant business section andprosperity have brought PrinceGeorge a long way.

The wildness has moved north.Up the Hart Highway, built

to maintain the provincial int-egrity, the traveller is in lonelycountry as far as Chetwynd. Thehighway boasts few gas stations

Before the Hart Highway wasbuilt a British Columbian travel-ling from the Peace River coun-try in British Columbia to themain body of British Columbiawas obliged to travel via Alber-ta. Promise, and delivery, ofthe highway was the Peace Riv-er's price for staying British Co-lumbian.

Then oil and gas were discov-ered and the Peace River be-came a valuable and valued •member of the provincial com-munity. Finally came the PeaceRiver, or Bennett, Dam and thePeace River Country was here tostay.

Dawson Creek, at Mile O onthe Alaska Highway, featureswide streets, inviting stores anda bright cleanliness, mildly re-miniscent of Hope or Banff. It isidentified by the combination ofbeehive burner, g^ain elevatorand oil well, sitting side by sideand each contributing to Daw-son Creek's economic security.

Northwards along the AlaskaHighway for half a hundred ' -miles and" Fort St. John lies toyour right. Like a little bit ofold Saskatchewan, it is brawlingsprawling, brash and noisy in thethroes of its growing pains.

In winter a steady frigid windblows out of the north and insummer the only change is thatthe temperature goes up. It isalways brilliantly sunny lastweek and next week. It's only;dull the week you get there.

The streets are dusty, thesidewalks irregular and dusty,and every other business seemsto be a tire business on the mainroad into the town. They areall running at full pressure.

Fort St. John was a quiet agri-cultural town until oil and gastook the limelight. From a fewhundred people the town mush-roomed into a few thousand. Theirregular buildings of the farm-

ing community were supersededby pre-fabricated slums of preg-abricated mobile homes. Tractsof land set aside for such homesoffer nothing more than accom-modation and serve as a warningto other communities to avoidpacking too many people intotoo small a space.

On the other side of the book,new subdivisions sprang up withpaved roads, sidewalks and ser~*.vices. The town grew into mou-ern housing as its populationbuilt up.

In addition to the four beerparlours in as many blocks, thenew prosperity brought augment-ed schools, a town library andother services. It has broughtthe need for improved sewer ser-vices as the population rose ab-ove the capacity of the originalplant.

The pattern of the town ischanging.

The drillers are moving out.Drilling has now gone beyondFort St. John and Fort Nelson istaking over. The town is enter-taining oilmen in white shirts asthe oilman with oily hands mov-es on. The government officialwith northern concerns makesFort St. John his base as does Pa-cific Petroleum whose "66" em-blem is everywhere evident.

Everyone likes the town andits climate and its setting. Atleast, they all sound like thechamber of commerce as Ions asthey live there. Afterwards, theywill admit that the long hardwinter is oppressive and that thepopulous part of the province tothe south still has its appeal. FortSt. John people refer to the sou-thern province as "the coast".

It is a pleasant place to visit,with its vast change from thecoast, but its appeal is less per-manent than the Pacific shores.

Everywhere, as we movedsouth, the merchants were fear-ful of greater industrial unrestand scarcity of money, but no-where was there evidence ofshortage. Buildings are a-build-ing, traffic is roaring and every-

TWO MUSEUMS(From Page Two)

Saturna, Mayne, all seem verymuch alike but a museum pointsup the distinguishing featuresand a particular island will beremembered by these facts. Un-doubtedly a museum is an assetto any community.

In the past Mayne Island had aspecial place among the groupof islands named The Gulf Isl-ands. It was a stopping platfefor the miners on their way tothe Fraser gold mines from Vict-oria. Later outer islanders cameto Mayne for their mail. Christ-enings, marriages and burials al-so brought them to Mayne. Aunique building is the goal onMayne. This, together with itshotels, farms, industries, schooland early residents are all a partof the history of this island.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORPLANNING

Editor, Driftwood,It is quite alarming to realize

what kind of answers are givenby our Salt Spring representat-ive, Mr. Holmes.

For instance:My July 30 question was as

follows "Mr. Pike I believe hasbrought forward No. 4 Objectiveof Planning on the Island andalso No. 7. Have you at thistime Sir, received clarificationof these two objectives? Whoprepared them and their mean-ing, if you know?"

Were you not listening Mr.Holmes at the July 6 meetingwhen Mr. Pike explained thatu3 wanted to find out more ab-out that!

Your answer reads as followsin Aug 6 paper.Quote. "I will not speak for Mr.Al Pike; but I'm sure he mustbe surprised to hear that he ischarged with objective - to est-ablish a method of intergratingthe management of the Canadi-an Gulf Islands with that of theUnited States San Juan Islands"

Is it not this tvoe of answersthat causes dissension?

Why did you not' give thesame answer on the paper as youfinally gave me over the phoneupon my insistance. The publicshould know & see it in writing.This type of objective does notbelong in the Gulf Island Study,after all how can we agree withsomething we do not understand?

As our director Mr. Holmeswere you not aware that therewas no board of variance in ex-istence, you let the chairmango on & on telling us that theonly way we could change aproposal was through the boardof variance. Do you at thistime realize the heartbreakingdisapointement we went throughto try to reach the non existentboard of variance. At the June24th Capital Regional BoardMeeting the board voted thenin favor of setting up a board ofvariance. Is there one now?

Were you not the same daythe delegation went in to Vict-oria notified to stop this read-ing, for further review, if so bywhom? It certainly did notcome to your mind out of theblue! You see I do not under-stand a Politician's views onface saving Mr. Holmes. I onlyunderstand a straight forwardanswer.

I really want to know whathappened to the briefs submitt-

AN OPEN LETTER

Editor, Driftwood,This letter has been mailed

to Mr. Hugh Curtis, Chairmanof the Capital Regional Board.

Dear Mr. Curtis:

If the avowed aim of planning- as far as the Gulf Islands areconcerned - is to preserve thecharacter of this area , then Ihave news for you: This much-vaunted character has alreadybeen destroyed by the mere pre-liminaries of planning, for thelatter have sown nothing but dis-cord, and have set friend againstfriend. Or don't you realize thatour previously harmonious hum-an relationships were as much apart of the islands' character astheir physical environment?Besides sowing dissent and creat-ing an uneasy climate of misun-derstanding, the proponents ofplanning have also given causefor serious doubt regarding theirtrue - or should I say ulterior?- motives; I am, of course, re-ferring to the mysterious yet ul-timate goal of integrating themanagement of the AmericanSan Juan Islands with that of theCanadian Gulf Islands - as setout in the official "Gulf IslandsStudy 1970" . Our local repres-entative of the Capital RegionalDistrict, Director MarcusHolmes, has been clearly delin-quent in his duty to explain thisparticular aspect of planning tous, and in terms we all can un-derstand.Therefore I am asking you,Chairman Curtis, what is behindthis oblique goal? Is it perhapsa sell-out to some obscure inter-ests? Would the truth be unpal-atable? - Whatever is behindthis scheme, let us know in un-disguised terms, avoiding bothsubterfuge and smooth rational-ization. Step forward as a de-mocratic man, and state yourcase! Forget all about bureau-cratic camouflage, or any lat-ent dictatorial impulses - wewant the truth!

Yours sincerely,(signed) W. Bangert, R. R. 1,

Ganges.August 17, 1970.

Beyond all thiswere several sailing craft, theirwhite sails adding to the lovelysummery picture, while round-ing Russell Island, appeared avessel with red sails - perfect!Surely no other place in theworld has a lovelier setting thanaround these sparkling watersand green islands.

A fire on board the P and OLiner Oriana on August 11, wasthe be fore-breakfast news overradio. On board also was sisterMrs. A. Davis, en route homeas she thought. After an houror two of wondering what theheck? found out that the shiphad put back to docks in Eng-land and then received a tele-communication to say all waswell but sailing time uncertain.What a morning that was! Go -ing to frame the telecom fromMabel though - don't often geta message like that all the wayacross the world!

Mr. and Mrs. O. McClaronwill be home this week aftertravelling via the Arcadia toCalifornia, and Disney Land inLos Angeles, and kinds of excit-ing times. Got a card from Di-sneyland from sister Violet andhusband. They were having agrand time. And I'm travellingconstantly between my typewri-ter and the kitchen. No big oc-ean liner but lots of gorgeousscenery and flowers all aroundBAW! I wanna go too... just alonely little petunia in the po-tato patch, that's me!
