The Salt Spring Island director, retired military man andbusy fruit grower at IsabellaPoint, was elected by acclam-ation four years ago with theretirement of Doug Cavaye.

He has served through one ofthe most heated periods of isl-and history as the island hasbeen split over planning andzoning.

RCMP at Ganges report thatcomplaints of pitlamping, orhunting deer at night with flash-lights, are not uncommon atthis time of year. Police officerexplained that pitlamping isone of the most difficult depre-dations to pin on anyone. ByJhe time police arrive pitlamp-ers are usually far away.

HE WASN'T MISSING AT ALL!

HOT DRYWEATHER

CLOSESWOODS

Brilliant sunshine persistedmost of the week end withclouds and spots of rain on Sun-day in some areas.

Almost unseasonable heatcontinued through Tuesday asSeptember crowned the hot drysummer in the islands.

Legacy from the late summerwas the closure of forests onSaturday. Hazard was up to ex'treme, reported the B. C. For-estry department and all work-ers were called out of the wood;to stop work until the rainscome.

Construction work through theislands was stopped and excava-tion of foundations or drainsmust hold off until it rains.

The year has been one of thedriest on record for many years.

Missing Youth is Found at HomeSearch party which carried

on through half the night onSunday at Galiano, failed to

. locate a mainland youth whowas believed to have fallenover the Bluffs. He was laterdiscovered to have gone homealone and was abed in WhiteRock while the party was outlooking for him.

Missing youth was one of aparty of nine holidaying onGahano for the Labour Dayweekend.

Top JuniorGolfers onSalt Spring

David Woodley and TobySeward are the top junior golf-ers this year on Salt SpringIsland.

David won the Carlson Cupfor low net and Se-yard, theBradley Cup for low gross.

Junior Golf Competition for1973 was held on Wednesday,Aug. 29.

Holiday At GalianoLast holiday week end of the

year brought problems to Gali-ano. One man was rescuedfrom a fall over the Bluffs, twocars were taken joyridden ar-ound the Island; two fires werelit by thoughtless visitors andput out by Islanders. Machin-ery, belonging to Fred Robsonand Ollie Garner, was wanton-ly wrecked and several hundreddollars worth of damage done.

When the ferries came totake several hundred peopleaway, they took a load oftrouble away.

VictimsAbound

Unprecedented numbers ofwasps have been flourishing ondie islands this year. Like allinsects, wasps follow a cycle,and this is their year.

Doctors and hospital havebeen treating a steady flow ofsting victims.

Few homes are free of theyellow jackets, which have nest-ed everywhere.

REVIEW OF SALT SPRING PROJECT

CARS CLEANED UP BY SAM TOTAL 587The Capital Regional Dist-

rict removed 587 cars duringits June clean-up on Salt SprinjIsland, Director Marc Holmesreports.

Despatched with the cards.was a quantity of old refriger-ators, stoves, deep freezes and

washers and driers, which hadbeen dropped off at the dumpswhere the compacting was car-ried out.

The flatdeck trailer whichhauled ^e crushed cars •fromFulford Harbour to Swartz Bay

. for reshipment to the RichmondSteel Recycling Company aver-age 24 cars per load. The low-er number of ferries and moredifficult docking facilitiesmade it impractical to shipfrom Long Harbour, he noted.

Director Holmes said die Re-

sional Board has had 4, 600 caishauled away from Langford,Colwood, Metchosin and SaltSpring Island, and that they ex-

ipect the figure to pass the5,000-mark before the programis completed in Saanich andSooke.

Companions of the cliff-dweller were alarmed and call-ed for help. The police boatwas called in and a search par-ty was formed.

Constables Al Evans and PeteSherman climbed down thecliff face in the darkness. Sher-man, engineer on the Sidney,was obliged to abandon theclimb after hurting himself.

It was a day of new experi-ences. It was the first time themainland man had fallen overa cliff and the first time hehad ever fallen into a tree. Itwas the first time police boatskipper Sgt. R. G. Beazley hadbeen to Galiano. He is recent-ly arrived from Thunder Bay,Ont. And it was the first visitto Galiano for Const. Al Evans,just here from Edmonton.

CBU on Wednesday morning re-ported that the recent assur-ance by Highways MinisterGraham Lea appeared to behollow.

The minister, after some ur-ging, agreed that the smallerroads in the islands need notbe graded out to a full 66 feet,Collins had made enquiries ata level beneath that of minist-er and had discovered that thedirections from the ministerdid not include arterial roads;that arterial roads on the isl-ands were ill-defined and thatthe department had no idea ofwhat the minister was talkingabout.

HOW CAN/???By Anne Ashley

Q. How can I remove stainscaused by leather rubbing againsta fabric?

A. These tre among the"tough ones. " However, if thefabric is washable try a thicksoap-and-water solution, rubbingwell over the fabric. You mightmake m a t t e r s easier, too ifglycerin is worked well into thestain beforehand and allowed tostand awhile before washing. Forunwashable fabrics, try glycerin,working this into the stain care-fully by rubbing lightly betweenthe hands. Let remain awhile,then rinse by sponging with water.Q. How can I thaw frozen meat

quickly?A. Try wrapping it in alumin-

um foil, then placing in a mod-erately hot oven for 10 to 15minutes.Q. How about the cleaning of

oil paintings?A. If these are very valuable

paintings, it's best always to geta professional job done on them.However, if you want to try ityourself, wash them with warmmilk and water, rubbing gentlyand carefully, and then dryingwithout rinsing.

Q. What can I do about bottlesthat have become badly discol-ored inside?

A. Try filling them with waterand borax, then allow to standawhile. If t h i s doesn't clean

them to your satisfaction, dropsome broken egg shells or BB-shot into the borax solution, thenshake, the whole business well.

Q. We have some glassware:

whose edges have been chippedand the sharpness makes drinkinga rather* hazardous thing. Is thereany remedy?

A. You can often smooth thoseedges nicely with a fine grade ofsandpaper.

Q. We have below-groundbasement windows surrounded bywindow wells, and the windowsinevitably become splashed withmud and dirt in heavy rainstorms.How can I remedy this?

A. Dig out about three or fourinches of soil and replace withan equivalent amount of cleangravel. This will prevent mudfrom splashing up against yourwindows and will also expeditedrainage during wet days.Q. How can I remove old blood

stains from handkerchiefs?A. You can usually soak these

stains out in a solution of twot a b l e s p o o n s of ammonia to aquart of cold water.

1 was once a member of anIrish secret society. I was allof eight years old at the time.An Irish boy came to school tojoin the already fair-sized clanof Irish in England, so manyyears ago. To us he was anEnglish boy from Ireland. Hesaw himself as an Irish boy inEngland. When he formed his"Double-Six", based on a cur-rent silent film plot, he sawhis society wresting a dimly-remembered Ireland from meEnglish. His English compani-ons saw themselves as a lawlessgroup of devil-may-cares, wag-ing a just war against an oppre-ssive society of parents, "teach-ers and adults generally. Andthat secret society probably hadall the ingredients of a civilwar, with die exception of apreparedness to destroy.

Randy Morton, of NorthBeach Road, was too late forthe Shark Fishing Derby at theweek end. He caught a 16 Ib.4 oz. dog fish on Sunday after-noon at 3. 50 pm, but he couldnot boat the fish and get to Ful-ford in 10 minutes. Not onlywas the fish bigger than thederby winner but it was alsoplural. While it lay, an aban-doned trophy, it gave birth to aschool of new, small dog fish.

drought. The letter remindedme that I had given nothingand that the deadline was fourdays off, long before it reach-ed me. The Combined Appealfor African Drought Relief hadreached 40% of its hoped-fortarget. The ferry crews hadbeen rewarded with a pay hike.The railwaymen were pressingfor one.

Thetickets stated, in writing, "Sat-urday, 7 am to 9 pm. Sunday,12 noon to 4 pm." I was underme impression that those werethe hours you could fish. But,no. they jeered, those werethe times you could weigh inyour catch. And I wasn t theonly one that stupid. Anotherthing the rod and gun and therotary could do on Salt Springis to have more weighing sta-tions. A weighing station atGanges would help on a SundaySo would one at Vesuvius orFernwood. Even on the outerislands would not be too badan idea. Then the keen fisher-man could stay at it until thelast minute. If he knows he'sallowed to fish that long!

Thursday September 6 , 1973 j

POSTAL SERVICEVancouver was never further away from the islands

than during the ferry strike, when neither passengernor freight could make the journey.

With the return of the ferries comes the sharp real-ization that Vancouver is still a long way from theislands by mail. A letter from a Gulf Islander mustgo across the Gulf to Swartz Bay and thence intoVictoria. It is handled again in the capital city andthen travels by air to Vancouver, to be finally sort-ed for distribution.

While this process was taking place there has beena ferry running directly to Vancouver. There hasbeen an aircraft flying from island to island en routeto Vancouver.

The time must be close when a direct mail servicewould be justifiable between the islands and themainland. Or is that time already upon us?

JOLTING REMINDERImportance of the tourist industry to the islands

economy was sharply delineated this summer whentourists were chased away by the fear of being cutoff from civilization.

The islands traffic has developed over the summerto the normal busy peak. Then came the warningbell and visitors by the score took to the boots andfled.

There was nothing deader than an island store thatfirst morning of the ferry strike. ,

Last week end the strike was a thing of the pastand the visitors were looking at the last sunny weekend of the year. They looked at the weather andthey looked at the islands. Friday saw the popula-tion of the islands suddenly leap. By Saturday trafficwas everywhere and not until Monday did it relax.

This pattern of rise and fall of traffic i ncidenceshowed clearly the volume of tourist traffic comingto the islands.

Islanders could readily reflect that many of theservices and supply outlets offered here would be outof reach of the community were it not for the touristswho keep the merchant or businessman active duringthe summer months.

Many islanders are a little cold about visitors butthese travellers each year form an essential part ofthe islands activities .

Letters To The EditorNAMES AND MUD-THROW-

ING

Editor, Driftwood,I am deeply concerned that

words like "malicious" and"vicious" are appearing regul-arly on the political scene ofthe Gulf Islands. Politics is aquestion of issues, and issuesnecessarily involve conflict ardidisagreement. The essence ofdisagreement in our communi-ty is becoming more potent asdie issues involve more person-al aspects; land, money andour various hopes and visionsfor our future. j

Participating in such a con-flict can be rewarding and ex-citing, and used as an opport-unity to learn more about our-selves and others, to test our-

selves in the arenas of opposi-tion, compromise, and inspira-tion. However, to resort tosarcasm (which is not the sameas wit) and even more listaste-ful, attacks on the personal in-tegrity of our elected represen-tative, is neither "good polit-ics", nor in any way construct-ive.

Many in our private lives fol-low philosophies which are indirect contradiction to the pro-motion of this atmosphere ofhate and vengeance. I can on-ly encourage these people tobecome more aware of theseinconsistencies within them-selves. Let us keep our deb-ates confined to the issues andour energy channeled in creat-ive ways. Regardless of ourpolitical positions, our hopes

SECOND PLACE IN SOFTBALL TOURNEY TAKEN BY MERCHANTS

for these islands are dear to usall, but so should be our treat-ment of our Fellow Islanders.

Donna Watt,P. O. Box G89,Ganges,September 1, 1973.

IN THE DOG HOUSE!

Editor, Driftwood,I see Mary Backlund has to

complain, about dogs, beingleft on ferry car deck.

Mary, we have no otherplace, since they are not allow-ed on upper deck, sun deck ordining room, which of course,is quite right. Mary Backlund,if you were not so concernedwith barking dogs, perhaps youwould have time to think alittle. Did it ever • occur toyou, that not all people can af-ford to place their pet in aboarding fennel?

Do you not think, Mary Back-lund, that more harm is doneto a pet by leaving him behind?He can't understand why hismaster has left, so he frets andsometimes refused to eat. I failto understand why so manypeople nerves are scattered bya dog's bark. Would you stillcomplain if you happen to bedrowning or fell overboard, anda dog's barking brought youhelp? If you choose to stay oncar deck during your trip, it'sup to you, for I doubt verymuch, Mary Backlund, if a dogbark can be heard on upper decKanove the roar of the engines.

If dogs upset you so much,why not travel by plane, andleave our dogs alone?

COMMUNITY COMMENTSBY JIM WILKINSON

September 4, 1973The following' are excerpts from the Land CommissionAct - 1973.Section 11, para. 4 & 5(4) The commission may, in accordance with the regul-ations, hear and determine applications for permissionunder subsections (2) and (3), and under subsections (1)and (4) of section 10, and may grant or refuse permissionfor a use of the land for other than farm use, and mayimpose whatever terms and conditions it considers advis-able, and, except as provided in subsection (5) THE DE-CISION OF THE COMMISSION IS FINAL AND NO AP-PEAL LIES FROM THAT DECISION.(5) An owner of land aggrieved

(a) by an order or decision of the commission refusingpermission under subsection (1) or (4) of section 10 orunder this section; or

(b) by the terms and conditions imposed by the commi-ssion in an order made under subsection (1) or (4) ofsection 10, or a permission granted under this section,

MAY APPEAL, ON A QUESTION OF LAW OR EXCESS OFJURISDICTION ONLY. BY WAY OF STATED CASE TOTHE SUPREME COURT.

I would urge all residents here who have lodged ap-peals against their land designation to study these pointsclosely.

On behalf of many people who have spoken to me onthis issue, I am urging the Capital Regional Board, onceagain, to reconsider tneir earlier decision and have thesehearings held locally. It is grossly unfair that hundredsof people have to take time off from their work and busi-nesses at some considerable cost to themselves to attendthese Hearings in Victoria.

* * * » *Points of ObservationIt is reported that theie are 396 airstrips in the provinceof British Columbia. Thank Goodness we have one herein this community. It certainly proved to be of greatconvenience for many many grateful people during therecent ferry dispute.

GIVE WITHA STAMP

There is a possiblity that aspecial charity stamp will beissued in Britain during 1974,if arrangements can be madein time.

The idea is for an experim-ental issue of a stamp whichwould be sold at a price abovethe basic first class postagerate. The extra cost would bepassed to a charity or charities.The choice of charities and anydecisions about their shareswould be made by an independ-ent authority which has not yetbeen named. Patrons wouldhave a choice and buying thecharity stamp would be entirelyoptional. Normal postagestamps would continue to beavailable.

WEDDING

IN STAMPSThere can be little doubt

that the most popular stampsfrom Britain in 1973 will be thepair to be issued on November14.

The occasion, of course, willbe the royal wedding of PrincessAnne and Mark Phillips.

A stamp issue in these circumstances presents quite a. chall-enge for the Post Office and thestamp printers, for there isvery little time in which to de-sign, print and distribute thestamps.

The British Post Office hasrecently announced the subjectsof the special stamps which itplans to issue during 1974. Ifone were to predict the mostpopular it may well turn out tobe the issue to commemoratethe centenary of the bit th ofSir Winston Churchill in Octob-er. It may be recalled thatChurchill was previously honor -ed on two stamps issued in July1965, following his death. Thus,Churchill becomes the firstcommoner to appear on morethan one issue of British stamps.

An issue to appear in June,1974, will come as no surpriseto stamp collectors. It is tocommemorate the centenary ofthe Universal Postal Union,which has been described as theUnited Nations of the postal

8'

world. Other issues of the yearwill include another in the Treeseries in February, a set honor-ing the 200th anniversary of thefirst comprehensive legislationon fire prevention and the pro-vision of fire services in April,and die usual Christmas stampsin November.

The final issue definitelyplanned is one featuring fourfamous historical figures, to beissued in July. The figures tobe shown are Robert the Bruce,Edward Plantagenet, the BlackPrince, Owain Glyndwr, andpossibly Boadicea. Next year

Set Stage for New Seasoncrested in any aspect of theatrewill be held at 8 pm on Mon-day, Sept. 10 in Room 4 at theHigh School. Apart from actirgthere is a great need for back-stage workers.

It is hoped to produce andperform a three-act play atthe end of November. Startingagain in January, three one-adplays are to be offered inMarch. By embarking on thisambitious program it is hopedthat a maximum number ofplayers will get an opportunityto participate in one categoryor another.

The list of requirements forsuch productions is lengthy. Aproduction manager is needed.His duties will include publici-ty, printing, artwork and over-all administration. A stagemanager is needed to work

with the director to prepare thesets, props and wardrobe; atechnical director to superviselighting, sound and backstagemechanics, prompters, make-up people, artists, designers,carpenters and handymen.

The B. C. Drama Associa-tion holds a series of workshopseach winter and several of themember drama groups also puton occasional workshops towhich the Salt Spring group, asmembers of the B. C. D. A., isinvited to attend.

This winter the Salt SpringPlayers plan to participate inthese programs in addition tostarting their own series ofworkshops on stagecraft whichthey hope to share with fellowdrama g-oups.

Tentatively scheduled are alighting effects workshop, a

play reading series, a makeupworkshop and movement andmime workshops. There willbe off-island theatre trips toattend previews and performan-ces of BCDA group productions.It is hoped that an exchange ofproductions between membergroups will be possible.

Auditions will be held at adate to be announced at themeeting to select players forthe up-coming three-act play.

Last season's production of"Breath of Spring" was an un-qualified success, having beensold out all three nights. Sever-al awards were won at the B. C.Drama Festival in Victoria forthis production and it is hopedthat two of the three one-actplays will be entered in theFestival in May.

Members of the Salt Spring

Players will be invited to assistin productions by the dramaclasses in the schools and stud-ents will be encouraged to part-icipate in the -Players' 'prod-uctions.

There is a real fun aspect tothis type of endeavour, an op-portunity to meet people andto be involved with a very cos-mopolitan group. Experienceis not essential. The Salt SpringPlayers fill a real need in ourIsland community so anyone

interested is urged to attend theSeptember 10 meeting and hearwhat it is all about.

WALK-/NVOLCANO ATST. LUCIA

In an island that enjoys oneof the most luxuriant vegeta-tion in the West Indies, the no-man's land of hissing, sulphur-ous vents and boiling pools ofmud and water stands out instark contrast,

It is the walk-in volcano onSt. Lucia, an eastern Caribbe-an island, where Salt Spring'sManson Toynbee lived recentlyas a teacher.

The volcano is the most pop-ular of the island's sightseeingattractions, but a guide is a"must".

TIME'S DISCIPLINE

BY GRACE A. WRIGHT

Winter weary, I longed forSpring

With greening grass and birdsa-wing.

It came. By then, my mindahead,

I thought of summer days in-stead.

When days were humid, muchtoo hot,

Still not quite happy with mylot,

I longed to hear the scrunch ofsnow

And snugly sit in firelight'sglow.

It's wrong to wish each seasondone -

Just wished away as it's begun?I pray to learn to live content,To see each day is fully spent.To look ahead need be no sin -If I accept time's discipline.

BYPASTOR DAVID G. LOW

Even though this country wasfounded on good Christian prin-cipals and the church has beenallowed to operate independen-tly of state control, and thestate is not governed by churchcontrol, there are times whenthe clergy should stand up andbe heard regarding certain practices and laws of our land.

The question of Abortioncould be argued from a medic-al stand-point of where life ac-tually begins, but being a min-ister, I am concerned withwhat God says through His wordconcerning this subject.

God considers that before ababy is born, it is just as muchan individual as that it will be10 minutes after it is born (Lute1:41,44). In Jeremiah 1:5 Godhas formed Jeremiah, not whenhe had achieved full physicaldevelopment and not when hewas born, but when he was con-ceived in the womb. You are acomplete being when you con-sist of body, soul, and spirit.When you are conceived, justbecause your body is not aswell developed as when you areborn, that does not make youany less a human being. Thesame comparison is true of a1-day-old baby and a 20-year-old man.

God's law defines murder aswhen you willfully take thelife of an innocent party. Achild whether born or unbornhas no way of defending him-self and is an individual. Sowhen you take that life, youare murdering that child.

If the laws of the land strayaway from the Biblical princip-als whereby our dominion wasbased, then at least our person-al convictions and our consci-ence based on God's word canbe our guide.

Police officers are regardedas someone to turn to in timeof need or trouble — but areclassified as tourist attractionsin few countries throughoutthe world.

However, India can boast ofmore than just a fine policeforce. The country's officers arealso a tourist attraction. In ad-dition to being helpful when itcomes to directions and otherinformation, India's policemenare among the most colourfullydressed in the world.

A white uniform is set off bya brilliant red turban with redand white plumes. Thus,tourists who bring their cam-eras to India take almost asmany pictures of the policemenas they do of historic land-marks, temples, monumentsand art work.

Tourists will find that theofficers are quite willing to posefor p i c tures •
