CAREERS
DAY
EDUCATION WEEK
- AT SECONDARY SCHOOL
During Education Week,
March 3 to 7, the Gulf Islands
Secondary School plans to
move from the usual Open
House to a unique presentation
for tnis year.
Present plans call for a Careers Day, in which several
speakers, representing a wide
range of vocational,
professional and educational
fields, will come to the schoo]
to speak to groups of students
and members of the public,
who are invited to attend. The
afternoon will be divided into
three 40-minute sessions, with
all speakers making presentations during each session.
This will enable students
and visitors to listen to three
speakers of their choice during
the afternoon. If the response
is good, and the reaction among the students indicates that
it is a worthwhile venture, it
is quite possible that this form .
of Careers Day will become an
annual affair.
Salt Spring Elementary
School will hold an Open House
on Friday, March 7, from 1 to
3 pm.
The format will vary slight-
ly from previous years as teachers will schedule certain lessons at specific times during
the afternoon.
Parents will then be able to
move from one room to another
and watch lessons in various
subject areas being taught, and
will also have prior knowledge
of any special techniques or devices that will be used during
the lesson.
LOST YOUR FORM ?
Lost your car license form?
A lot of islanders had difficulty finding them la st week .
Majority found the missing
form neatly filed away... with
the BC medical receipts.
License form and medical
form are very similar in appearance.
WORLD DAY OF PRAYER
Women's world Day of Pra yer will be observed on Friday,
Mar. 7.
At Ganges the service will
be held in the Community Gospel Chapel with Mrs. M.V.
Gilpin leading the prayers.
Speaker will be Mrs. Jean
Anderson. Every church in the
community is invited to participate in the program and all
women who sympathize with
the project and who have no
adherence to any church here
will be welcomed.
World Day of Prayer is a
day set apart for prayer by the
women of the world. On this
CREATIVE WRITING
INSTRUCTOR NAMED
Writer of world-wide experience will conduct the Creative
Writing Classes currently sponsored by the adult education
program at Ganges. He is John
Rhodes Sturdy.
Mr. Sturdy came to the
course with an impressive background of accomplishment. Before the Second World War he
was engaged with the Montreal
Gazette. After 10 years there
he moved to Chicago with the
Tribune. He covered the Londor
blitz for the Chicago paper,
later resigning to join the navy.
Towards the end of the war he
was posted to Hollywood, where
he wrote the script for a number of navy-oriented films.
Isla'nds are now in the BC
Hydro club again. Last Wednesday saw the cable-laying crews
setting back the main line between Crofton and Salt Spring
Island along the sea bottom.
Cable had broken down in
January when power was out for
several hours on more than one
occasion.
The heavy voltage cable was
taken up from the sea and
shipped to Vancouver for repairs,
It is now under the water again.
In the meantime the islands
have been fed by the spare, or
auxiliary cable. All the Gulf Islands take their power from
Crofton, by way of Salt Spring
Island.
Weather is nothing new.
While many memories went
back to the First World War
when snow was deep and late,
one of Ganges* senior citizens,
W.M. Mouat cast his mind
further back.
He recalled the middle
1890 *s and cited one very cold
winter. Snow started at the end
of February. It snowed until
roads were blocked and communications were broken. It
finally cleared and by May
most of the snow was gone, he
recalls.
Best of the lot was Corvette 225,
he asserts. Until quite recently
this film was used by the Royal
Canadian Navy for training purposes.
After the war Mr. Sturdy
returned to Canada, but he was
not sold on the west coast. For
about five years he was engaged by the Canadian Pacific
as public relations man. Finally he came to Salt Spring Island to free-lance.
Mr. Sturdy has written for
magazines all over the continent including the once-famous Collier's and Saturday
Evening Post.
He has also produced two
mysteries under a pseudonym.
day, explained Mrs. Dorothy
Kyle, a spokeman for the service, they join in a special
service, remembering before
God the needs of all people.
Last year the service was
held in more than 3,000 communities across Canada and in
over 140 countries.
Theme this year, across the
world, is "Growing together in
Christ". It was chosen by women in Africa, from Sierra
Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, South
Africa, Congo, Zambia and
Kenya.
BAMBRICK'S STORE
HARDWARE STORE
Another part of Bambrick's
Store was recently sold out. It
is the second on Galiano,
Several years ago, the grocery section of the store has
been sold to Miss Thelma Mathias and Mr. and Mrs. Tom
Rogers.
Eddie and Peggy Bambrick
have been in the store business
for the past 28 years, taking
over upon the death of Eddie's
father, E.H. Bambrick.
Even though they will not
entirely be out of the business,
they will both be missed around
the store we all know so well.
They will carry on with the
bu ilders and allied lines, and

PRANKSTERS

SIGNS
Pranksters were abroad in
Ganges on Saturday evening.
On Sunday morning notice
outside the Catholic Church of
Our Lady of Grace on Drake
Road identified it as the Community Gospel Church.
At the same time congregation of the Gospel Church were
startled to learn that the church
was now the Church of Our Lady of Grace.
The signs were promptly sorted out.
Death Of
Irving
Sinclair
Irving Sinclair died on Friday in San Francisco.

Sinclair was the island school
'teacher for four years. He later
:

WELCOMED
DOUGLAS
IN
OTTAWA
Islander's new representative
in Ottawa is now duly accepted as a member of parliament.
On Thursday of last week
T.C. Douglas, leader of the
New Democratic Party, was
introduced to the Speaker of
the House by David Lewis and
Harold Winch.
Mr. Douglas was welcomed
back by the Prime Minister.
"The honorable member
shows that he has great sticking power and that he believes
strongly in the principles he
follows," said Mr. Trudeau,
"These are virtues we admire
in him."
As a human being and a
man devoted to principle, Mr.
Douglas stands second to none,
the Prime Minister added.
I le was then welcomed back
by Opposition Leader Robert
Staniield, who spoke of the
members on the Speaker's left
and how right the governmentwas.
Gilbert Rondeau, of the
Ralliement Creditiste added
his welcome before Mr. Douglas spoke briefly of the nature
of his new riding and his own
gratification at his return to
parliament.

CHURCH GROUP
OFFICERS NAMED
home of Mrs. Nancy Patterson
which was convened by Mrs?Campbell, Mrs. Stewart and
Mrs. Patterson.
Newcomers from Ganges and
Fulford were initiated, also
Mrs. Jean Anderson, the new
minister's wife. A sincere vote
of thanks to all 'volunteer workers and all who helped over the
months was expressed by the
meeting.
Elected to office for the following year were the following:
president, Mrs. Nancy Patterson; vice-president, Mrs. Stewart; secretary, Mrs. C. Lee;
treasurer, Mrs. Thelma Reynolds and Mrs. Eleanor Campbell, program organizer.
This small group would like
to extend their thanks to all
who so faithfully support them
in their endeavors for without
them, there would be no U.C.
W. and sincere thanks to Mrs.
Stewart for her very fine efforts
over the many months of her
leadership.
By BEA HAMILTON
The annual meeting of the
Burgoyne Bay U.C.W. for 1969
was held at the home of Mrs.
C. Lee recently. In reviewing
the 1968 acitivities, the report
shows a good year under the
capable leadership of Mrs. Peggy Stewart , retiring president.
The little church had a coat
of new paint last year, and
some of the volunteer workers
were Mrs. Laura Stevenson,
Gavin Reynolds, Jim Stewart,
Cliff Lee, Gordon Cudmore,
Doug Stewart, Roy Lee and ^
Walter Brigden. A new fence
was erected and painted and for
this project, several cash gifts
were thankfully received from
interested people.
During the early part of the
year, Mrs. Williams had to resign as treasurer to the regret
of the membership as she had
performed such a splendid job
throughout her office, which
had carried over many years.
The members had enjoyed

A lively history surrounds
this little Church in the Valley
—built in 1887, it is the second senior Church on Salt
Spring Island. It was built as
the Union Church to serve all
denominations and the builder
was the first Charles Horel. For
years it was called the Methodist Church as the old time Methodist held the early services
there. Today it is the Burgoyne
Bay United Church and still
carries on as a place of worship
for the people.
A new fence surrounds the
building and a coat of paint
sparkles on the walls, the work
of volunteer labour. This picture was taken within the last
two years.

Padre Rev. John Dangerfield

hosts to the annual Church
Meeting. There were over 20
present which shows that even ii
some of us don't attend the kirk
regularly we are still very interested. Wonderful progress was
reported for the last year and
everyone is optimistic for 1969.
Uncle Art Ralph will continue
as Vicar's Warden; Steve Maskow was elected People's War.-den; alluring Ann Bavis is sec.treasurer and gentle Clarice
Warlow, organist. All by acclamation. Louisa Gal Money agreed to continue her work.
(Lou I forgot the name of your

HELP! HELPJ
Islanders have already expressed their strong opinions
on a project of the provincial government. Last week
the Attorney-General announced plans to offer an
interest-free loan to the Commonwealth Group.
The measure is so far from just or justified that the
provincial member representing the Islands, Mr. John
Tisdalle should be clearly informed of the reaction of
his constituents to this proposal.
We feel that each of us who makes an investment
does so in the hope of gain and with the awareness
that there is also the possibility of loss.
If the province is to establish a procedure of covering
the losses of private investors, then it must, logically,
be extended to all similar circumstances.
Islanders, largely, are not prepared to underwrite
the losses of the unfortunate investors in this or any
instance. Unless, of course, Mr. Tisdalle can offer a
complete, reasonable and logical justification.
COMMUNITY GESTURE
Last week a Ganges businesshouse sponsored a dance
and celebration in aid of youthful hockey players on
the island.
The company underwrote the expenses of the
evening's entertainment program in order that funds
raised could be entirely devoted to junior hockey.
There were three couples from one area of the island
which fields a number of teams.
There is no reason why any family should be expected
to support enthusiastically a project sponsored by this
or any other businesshouse. There is however, a valid
reason for support of junior hockey by the parents of
the players. There is reason for support of junior hockey by every islander who is interested or concerned in
juvenile recreation.
The pattern of help or support for roller hockey is a
sad reflection on most of u s _ A small group of people
spend their weeks at the disposal of the youngsters. The
rest of the community, parents, friends or onlookers
show neither interest nor support.
Apart from any other consideration, it is grossly unfair.
Letters to the Editor
COMMUTERS
F.ditor, Driftwood,
Why anyone should wish to
commute more than 20 miles
twice daily, five days a week
from his home to work is more
than I can understand. Or
might it be that the by-products of the proposed Roberts
Bank development will render
100 square miles or more around it unlivablc?
Methinks that it would be
more compatible witli modern
technology to reduce noise, air
and water pollution and general
ugliness to an acceptable minimuni in such a way that people
can enjoy living within walking distance of their jobs.
This so-called "minimum
lot size" seems rather a bunglers' approach to the population
problem. One person needs a
minimum of tliree acres accessible living space to keep physically, mentally and emotionally in good shape. This can
mean several 20-acre, one-family farms or a town of '!', 000
inhabitants surrounded by nine
square miles of rural land,
1969
parks and forest or 20 one-acre
lots adjoining 400 acres of forest or grazing lands or innumerable other combinations. But
the ratio of three acres per person or 200 persons per square
mile and the accessibility of
uncluttered space has to be
preserved.
It is not possible to indefinitely evade facts through
the popular alleys of alcohol,
hard work, LSD, sports, money
politics, religion, arts or sciences.
Individuals most sensitive to
or aware of lack of space, either emigrate from city to rural areas or from California to
B.C. if they have the resources to do so. If these resources
are lacking they take it out on
their neighbour as in riots and
other manifestations of unrest
that seem to be so popular in
large centres especially south
of the border.
The reason for this letter is
not that I think it even remotely possible that anyone should
bestir himself to do anything
constructive concerning planning or that anyone should consider foregoing immediate
.profits for the future possibilities of pleasant living. I only
want to be able, 20 years
hence, to document a satisfied "I told you so" when looking at miserably clustered
shorelines and ruined farmland,
listening to hovercrafts, pestered by traffic jams and social
problems, fighting spiralling
living costs and trying to evade
gigantic taxes. Living here
will be a little less than pleasant.

THANKYOU, PHIL!
Editor, Driftwood,
On behalf of the Roller
Hockey Association, we are
sincerely grateful to Mr. and
Mrs. Valcourt of Valcourt
Building Supplies for their generous contribution towards the
Roller Hockey funds, not only
did they supply the food and
the music, they also gave us
the choice to receive the proceeds taken in at the door,
which helped tremendously.
So once again, thankyou
Yvette and Phil.

DON'T TRAP THEM!
Editor, Driftwood,
We hear that trapping is being done on Saturna and other
islands allegedly by someone
who comes from Salt Spring in
an aluminium boat.
If this is true I would like to
make an appeal for the practise to be ended — for two
main reasons; — one, that
trapping is horribly cruel; —
and, two, that through man's
interference with natural processes, he has exterminated
many species.
For many years otters were
nearly extinct, but in recent
years they have been returning
slowly. If they are trapped now
they hardly have a chance to
survive.
Perhaps the trappers will
cease their activities for reasons of conservation, even if
they cannot be appealed to for
humane reasons.
All nattural flora and fauna
are being destroyed at such an
alarming rate, all over the
world, that it behooves each
individual to do what he can to
save the creatures; and the
trees and other vegetation, and
to preserve nature, for its own
sake as well as for the sake of
humans now and in the future.

"BIRD IN A GILDED CAGE",
by Judy LaMarsh. McClelland
& Stewart. 367 pp. $7.95.
Two publications on Pearson
in Ottawa have come out in rapid fire. First was Peter Newman's Distemper of Our Times,
in which an adept Ottawa reporter reviewed the ineptirude
of the Pearson regime. He was
in general courteous and coldly
analytical, but he drew a picture of a vacillating Liberal
leader following a vacillating
Conservative leader, whose
sad tale he had already depicted.
Judy LaMarsh came second,
in terms of chronology. Not for
Judy the quiet terms of journalistic analysis. She says what
she thinks and let the chips
fall...!
Pearson, suggested Newman,
was an able arbiter without administrative genius. Pearson,
added LaMarsh, was a big gun,
carefully protected by a considerable array of smaller guns.
And every cabinet gun was expendable in the defence of
the central figure.
Newman drew Pearson as a
struggling, convinced failure
at the head of the government.
His colleague is more biting,
more bitter and more frank.
Newman's book is as impersonally factual as a trained
writer can make it. He seeks
to avoid bias. To avoid the
suggestion of bias is part of his
back ground.
Miss LaMarsh is frankly biased. She writes with warm affection of the members of the
Pearson cabinet whom she
liked or admired and she writes
with a cutting idiom of those
who did not come up to her
terms of measurement.
Newman's book is important
for its presentation of history
by a historian who saw it all
happen. LaMarsh*s book is vital for the frank analysis it offers of the government she
graced and of other governments at all times which follow
the same pattern.
That is where the break
comes.
The reader follows the earlier book, eager to find whether he recalls the incidents
of which Newman writes and
equally eager to ascertain whether the man on the spot
placed something of the same
interpretation on the incidents
the reader knew from a long
distance. He reads the later
book with a keen enjoyment of
Judy LaMarsh*s conclusions and
her cutting descriptions of
some of her colleagues and
those she encountered.
Much of what has been said
of her former colleagues has
been widely publicized. The
mass of the book, however,
deals with incidents and the
people and the places rank in a

Annual meeting of the Mother's Auxiliary to the First
Fulford Sea Scouts was held recently at the home of Mrs.
Edward Lacy.
Arrangements were made to
hold the Father-son bankquet at
Nan's Coffee Bar on Tuesday,
Feb. 25th.
Mrs. Peggy ^Stewart came in
for a vote of sincere thanks for
her good work as president of
this group over the past months.
The election of new officers
are, President, Mrs. E. (Mollie) Lacy, sec-treas., Mrs.
Pat (Margaret) Simons. The
Scouts this week have been
honouring Lord Baden-Powell
week as the combined birthdays
of Lord and Lady Baden-Powell
fell together on Feb. 22nd.
Lady Baden-Powell would have
celebrated alone however as the
Great Scout passed away some
time ago.
So on Sunday morning,
Scouts, Cubs, Girl Guides and
Brownies paraded to the various
Churches, attending St. Mary's
at Fulford at the Young People's
service and the Burgoyne United
Church in the evening, the Boy
Scouts turning out 100 per cent
with parents as well, so it was
a well attended and happy service.
Well known to all is the story
of Lord Baden-Powell who
thought enough of the youth on
the streets to'gather them in
wherever he could and so started
the great Boy Scout movement

then leaves the incidents to analyze the people who caused
them.
The result is not so much a
part of history as a delightful
appraisal of the Great in Canada. She concludes with the note
that she enjoyed her experiences, practicing forebearance
and thankful for the calibre of
Canadian politicians.
Although lively, happily
scurrilous, violently prejudiced
and sharply critical, the book
carries a sobering consideration,
It reminds those of us who are
far from Ottawa and fearful of
being forgotten during the
hand-outs, that Ottawa has
not forgotten anyone. It is too
self-contained a unit to forget
any part of the wide Dominion.
After reading the book and

HOSPITAL IS GRATEFUL
FOR GIFTS FOR
PATIENTS AT CHRISTMAS
Monthly meeting of the South
Salt Spring Island Women's Institute was held at the home of
Mrs. A.J. McManus, Sr. on
Thursday, with a fair attendance. An interesting letter from
the Little Dean W.I. in England,
was read by Mrs. A. Davis, and
a calendar sent from the Little
Dean members, was presented
to the executive.
In exchange, Mrs. Davis reported having sent the B.C.
Calendar to the English W.I. A
letter from the Riverview Hospital at Essondale, expressed the
sincere thanks of the Canadian
Mental Health Association for
the many nice gifts sent to the
mental patients from the box
that was placed in Patterson's
Store.
Many of the patients are
otherwise forgotten at Christmas so our own thanks, from our
W.I., to all the kind doners to
this yearly box that sends joy to
otherwise unhappy people.
Our thanks also to Mrs. McManus, Sr., who supervised the
sending of the gifts. A vote of
thanks was given to our own
W.I. from Mrs. Gil Thornley
who expressed her own and her
husband's thanks for the Institute's Christmas party in the
Fulford Hall for the newcomers
in the district. It was a freezing night—the beginning of
the long, extraordinary cold
winter—but Mrs. Thornley
said although they were cold,
their reception'was warm and
they enjoyed it, and thought
the people were exceptionally
nice, and she praised the group
of young people who sang Car- _
ols so well.
Barring the embarrassing
cold, our W.I. members enjoyed meeting all the new
people and our thanks to them
for braving the weather that
cold night. Miss Angela
Brigden'gets our vote of thanks
for her excellent performance
at the piano. Between you and
I and the gate post—it WAS a

FLOWER SHOW
! By GARDENER
Exciting new plans for the
spring and late summer were
discussed at the first meeting
of 1969 at the Garden Club,
on Feb. 19. It was decided to
have a simpler, more informal version of the Spring Flower Show, in the form of a
Spring Flower Tea. Details
and date are to be worked out
and further plans will be discussed at the next meeting.
Although we have all agonized over the black leaves
appearing everywhere on our
favorite shrubs and rosebushes
after the appalling frosts of
the winter, we are perhaps
worrying unnecessarily. We
were advised by Mr. James
not to cut back everything
now. Watch for tiny new
leaves which may appear along the stems, and do not cut
below these. Donft prune just
yet, until we have looked for
these encouraging signs. Fruit
trees are probably not damaged, but wait until March for
other pruning. Prune grapes,

now, use fertilizer sparingly,
and do not cultivate deeply.
Saw dust and peat moss are
good for grapes.
Start spraying leaf trees
now, and start fertilizing. For
lime-loving plants, put in
agricultural lime now, as it
takes a month to dissolve.
Wood ashes mixed with peat
moss, plus other fertilizer are
recommended now for roses
and peonies.
Mrs. James talked with us
about the best type of plants
for the Centennial Park flower
boxes, and she will order these
in good time for planting.
Mr. James told us that the
Pacific National Exhibition

The war of words still goes
FISHING
sources of the Grand Banks has
been acknowledged for centuries.
Even so, there is urgent
need to establish Canadian
control of salmon fishing off
the coast of British Columbia.
The salmon are spawned in
Canadian rivers.
Millions of dollars are being
spent by Canada to propagate
this source of Canadian salmon
The salmon are taken as they
return to Canada, after they
have explored in far places
while they grow to full stature.
The right of Canadian
By CHARLES A. BOWMAN
In the beginning, it would
be well to keep in mind that
Canadian fishermen operate on
the east coast, and the north
coast, as well as out of British
Columbia on the Pacific. One
urgent need is to define the extent of Canada's territory under
the ocean.
One natural boundary line
could be the continental shelf
.. .but the continental shelf off
Newfoundland extends beyond
the Grand Banks. Tire right of
fishermen from European countries to exploit the fishery re-

fishermen to harvest the salmon crop should be as firmly
established as the right of Canadian prairie farmers to harvest
the grain crop. The west coast
commercial fishermen could
be classed as producers with an
individual investment no less
than farmers on the land.
The fisherman is an individual worker, with none of the
security of the wage-earner.
The industrial worker in the
security of factories, streets,
work hours and assured wages
is a privilieged Canadian, as
compared with the West Coast
salmon fisherman.
Factors beyond the control
of the individual fisherman operate to determine the return
to the worker for long, haid
hours of labour.. .and heavy
investment in fishing boat and
gear. The fishing season is a
limited period, and Nature can
determine whether that period
is favorable or curtailed.
It is well that Prime Ministei
Pierre Elliott Trudeau has a
competent minister of Fisheries
in Hon. Jack Davis. The Department of Fisheries used to be
the Cinderella of government
offices. When cabinet posts
were distributed to party workers, Fisheries would go to one
of the minor claiments for office.
Jack Davis is one of the ablest ministers in a Liberal cabHe is manifesting a practical
awareness of the economic value of Canadian fisheries to the
national economy. He should
have the weight of public opinion behind him — as well as
of the United Fishermen and
Allied Workers' Union. It is
needed on Parliament Hill in
Ottawa.

on even though Friday afternoon the debate on the budget
wound up, with the two opposition parties against a budget
which the Leader of the Liberal
party declared was a good
budget on the day that the
Premier introduced it.
The opposition's criticism,
both Liberal and N.D.P. , was
mainly directed towards spending more- money. The Liberals
apparently would apply the
same 'Liberal financing* formula that has this \\hole country
financially in debt and economically spent after 20 years of
prosperity. Mr. McGeer indicated that anyone could
spend a billion 24 million and
do better, that it was a relatively simple matter to bring
down a budget like this in
bountiful, beautiful British
Columbia.
The Hon. Grace McCarthy
pointed out that it was easy for
the Liberals because they haa a
policy of " play now and pay
later". She posed the question
of Mr. McGeer, "if it was so
simple — why doesn't everyone
one do it — why doesn't
everyone in Canada live under
the same secure and financially sound administration? Why
Mr. Leader if it is so simple
do your colleagues in the Liberal administration in Ottawa
find it so difficult?"
She suggested that maybe
the Liberals had chosen the
wrong leader even though they
had elected one who had dealt
with brains — but most of
them were in "glass bottles"
and the Liberals were not practising "brains in a bottle thinking".
The N.D.P. members have
noticeably less effective in the
House. It would appear that
the aspiring leaders are spending time cultivating the delegates out in the field. They
definitely are touchy on the
subject and some members are
showing political nervousness
as to their future in the party
if their man fails to win.
The opposition, in voting
against the budget, vote'd against agricultural aid to developing countries and world
disaster areas and showed they
were opposed to a physical fitness and amateur sports fund,
they called it just money and
tried to argue thay they were
voting agaisnt big business in
Government and gigantic expenditures. However, money is
what budgets are all about and
fiscal policies are always spoken of in the language of money and taxpayers usually think
in terms of dollars and "what
is this going to cost me?"
The results though are to be
found in the community in
which you and I live.
Unfortunately the opposition
has been able to create the
impression that roads have little to do with human betterment but since the most recent
cold weather spell and the resultant breakup of our roads it's
surprising how many people
have been letting me know and
I'm sure the municipalities,
too, as to how important roads
are to human welfare even to
students getting to school on
time.
Presently I have a petition
from parents on the north end
of Galiano Island where a few
students travel to the south to
to school and the road is
§etroken
up so badly that they
cannot get through with the
bus — ask them if roads have
anything to do with human
betterment!
They state that it's depriving their children of a good
education and the same privileges as other children.
Years ago this legislature
rang with the debate of opposition members trying to kill
the Peace River and Columbia
projects, where would be the
jobs and the human betterment
if they had succeeded to defeat
these projects? Thousands of
jobs and millions of dollars will
come to the pay cheques of our
working people through the
development of the coal mining in the interior where at
one time depression and despair was the lot of the miner in
the FernK
:r.c
opposition memb
they would axe this project as
well.
Yes, what is a billion 24
million — it is the vehicle
that human betterment travels
on.

RENDER ISLAND UNITED CHURCH
P.G.JAMES AT MAYNE
THERE IS STILL A FUTURE
By ELSIE BROWN
An illustrated lecture presented by Mr. and Mrs. P. G.
James of Salt Spring Island was
well attended by the members
of Mayne Island Agricultural
Association at the hall on
Thursday evening.
Chairman, Jesse Brown, introduced the speaker who gave
a resume of the background of
agriculture on the Gulf Islands.
He spoke of the high cost of
getting produce off the islands,
which makes agriculture, as
we have known it in the past,
uneconomical.
However, he assured us that
agriculture could come back
into its own by specializing in
less bulky crops well adapted
to Gult Islands climate, thus
eliminating excessive transportation costs to market. Begonia seeds, he suggested, are
an outstanding example.
Mr. James stated that many
housewives with about 2,000
sq. feet or more of garden area
could materially add to the family income by specializing
in such crops.
A list of vegetables and
fruits the deer won't eat was
given and a recipe which has
proven successful in discouraging their visits was made available to the interested listeners.
Assisted by his wife, Mr.
James then showed slides which
demonstrated the effects of
disease and blight on root
crops, leaf crops and fruits.
Some colorful views of flowers
and shrubs taken in the James"
garden amply illustrated the
success which can be achieved
in a few short years beginning
with an unlandscaped property
Mrs. James gave a short
dissertation on showing flowers
and arrangements at flower
shows and fairs and pointed out
that exact measurements are
very necessary. She gave many
valuable tips along these lines
which were greatly appreciated
by those present.
Mr. and Mrs. James have
promised to judge at our forthcoming Spring Flower Show to
be held April 26 and Mrs.

By CULTUS COULEE
"Here, in a large and sunlit land, where no wrong bites
to the bone, I will lay my ban
in my neighbour's hand... Heri
will we join against our foes The hailstroke and the storm..
So wrote Kipling in THE SETTLER.
The cold spell was our moment of truth, when friction i<
forgotten. "There's nothing to
tell, really," Herb Spaldine
drawls. "Just helping out a bit
here and there." But the sick
and the weather-bound, croak
ed praises for the helper-outer;
"Nothing, really" included
trips 15 miles up to Port Washington and Hope Bay on North
Fender, for fuel and grub; and
feed sacks for the G ill's goats;
coal oil and gas for lamps, an*
other oddments.
A HI! at the backdoor, and
against the snowscape flamed
Herb's red mackinaw, as he
dumped a sack of coal. Vern
Roddick brushed Presto crumbs
off his blue windbreaker, after
wheeling a barrow 400 slipperj
feet on a track unfit for man o
truck.
Wood was hauled and split;
a bag of kindling or pitch, appeared; hoses hooked up for th<
waterless, pipes repaired. During the brown-outs, Herb and
Vern piled out of bed into the
night, to churn around the island, unplugging the deep free
zes of absent owners. Alex Mai
Kinnon tended two houses,
whose families were in Vancou
ver and California, soaking up
the smog.
The Larry Moores* boy,
Dennis, 13, was a big help on
the Gardner farm, tending the
stock, when Dave was flattened. Gerald Ashthorpe trundled
up his Bii'dwood Lane on many
a mercy mission, down the
jvernment road, to some
eezing cabin, with papers,
priceless pitch, wife Grade's
muffins; or huffed and puffed
under a sack of Prestos.
There were even handouts
for the wild swans, who got a
daily lunchpail of goodies, even grabbing from their benefactor's fingers.
The mail must go through,
and John Freeman, with helper John Smith, had a job,
breaking trail; sagging under
Prestos, coal, groceries (heavy on canned goods); and
mailbags. For six days the icy
road was too tricky for the
Freeman Renaud, the Causeway and Divide, presenting
nasty drop-offs. And when
combat with the elements
felled our mail-carrier, postmistress Hope Jennens, with
her uncle Herbert Spalding,
did the mail chores.
Mobile women, red-cheek
ed, puffing vapor, and
bundled wide as tall, brought
from the sea—beach
§ifts
ark to steam in the oven; a
brick, baking hot; wrapped in
foil, aromatic and richly
brown from the late turkey, t<
thaw bedridden feet; brown
eggs from a real hen, instead
of sicklied o'er with the pale
cast of those from a carton;
jars of turkey soup; a little
roast of mowitch.
Camaraderie was rife; and
it was proved again, that Ruth
is Stronger than Friction.

AS CLEAR AS FERRY
SCHEDULE SAYS
READER OF STORY
Not all readers understood
the explanation last week of
DRIFTWOOD expiry marks on
papers sent through the mails.
George Wells, of Vesuvius,
was the oitterest critic.
"It was as clear as last
year's BC ferry schedules," he
commented.
In a nutshell
if the address label shows, Mar. 2-1-09, the subscription expires in
March, 1969. When it is paid
up for another year the figure,
9, will be obliterated and it
will read, Mar. 2-1-0, indicating that it expires in 1970.
Reason for this complication
is that the obliteration of the
last number saves the cost of
making new stencils each year.
It also saves time.

AGRICULTURE

James will expand on the subject at that time when she can
use concrete examples.
At intermission, when
refreshments were served, Mr.
James distributed pamphlets
published by the provincial
department of agriculture.
At the conclusion of the
meeting so many avid gardeners were clustered around the
popular couple, seeking added
information, no one heard the
chairman's attempt to give
them a hearty vote of thanks.
We will do so now and also
to Hilda.Reid, Winnie Ilayhurst
and Evelyn Mussick for taking
charge of the refreshments.

WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
SCOUT GROUP HERE
Ganges Scout Group recently
purchased a 19 1/2 foot sail
boat so that the boys could be
trained in the art of small boat
sailing. Over half the purchase
price has been paid, but the
balance is due shortly. To
raise this money it is proposed,
among other projects, to have
a continuous BEER AND POP
BOTTLE COLLECTION SERVICE from now until the end of
April.
If you have bottles on hand
which you would like to donate
please telephone 537-2031,
Monday to Friday, between
8.00 am and 4.30 pm.
The co-operation of every-
•
one in this project is urged,
not only to support the local
boys but to back up the efforts
of their leaders who willingly
give many hours of their time
in working with the Scouts and
Cubs. If you would care to
contribute in any way to the
Scouts, plea.se contact John
McManus at the Ganges Recreation Centre or Dennis Seward
at 537-2903.
The Scout Group is very active arid has a large enrolment
this year. The Croup is normally self-supporting financially, which is as it should be,
but an extra effort is necessary
to complete this major purchase .

It was an enjoyable Cabaret
Dance at the Fulford Hall on
Friday night, Feb. 21 when the
annual Valcourt Night went into action to aid their favourite
project — youth activities.
This public-spirited firm
paid for the rent of the hall,
the orchestra, the food, putting out the sum of $200 to start
things rolling.
And they did roll.
Dick Daiment's orchestra
supplied the good music for the
dance, the Fulford girls* hockey team saw that the hall was
prettily decorated, and the tables set for refreshments, Roy
Lee put up the tables (and took
them down the next day).
The purpose of the dance
was to raise funds to buy equipment for the hockey players.
Phil and Yvette Valcourt
were at the party and the island people are very grateful
for the interest and help given
by these two citizens. Many
expressed the wish that more
parents of the hockey players
had taken a little more interest
in the project as few turned out
in comparison to the number of
players.
This is a sort of fifty-fifty
project as hockey players come
from North and South Ends of
the island. The competitve
games keep the youth of the island interested in good sports-

The Sherwoods spent eight
