VISITORS AT CEDARBEACH RESORT H!T TROUT

JACKPOTUndeniable proof that

late summer visitors to SaltSpring can enjoy an excit-ing visit is indicated by the

fine mess of large cut-throat trout, caught thisweek in St. Mary Lake.

Inside twenty-four hours

W.R. Bates and Keith Bates

from North Surrey, whowere enjoying a week end

windup holiday at CedarBeach, caught a baker's

dozen trout weighing around

three pounds each. The boyssaid they used worms withsome sort of lake trout trol I-

ing equipment and had no

trouble hooking two or threeof these monsters each timethey were out on the lake.

They wondered what allthe fuss was about, not be-ing aware that this seemsto be something of a record,at least for this season.

A further report of thepresent trout population ofSt. Mary comes from ourown staffer, Bruce Fiander,who recently observed avery large trout nearly jumponto the shore.

Mrs. Margaret Nicker-son of Cedar Beach resortnow feels much more confi-dent of her answer when vis-itors ask the inevitable^question, 'How's the fishing?"(See Page 3.)

EDITORIALWe were able to catch the Seven O'clock Show on

TV last week on which owner operators of Ambulanceswere being interviewed on the question of increased am-bulance costs. It appears that ambulance costs on the low-er mainland are sky high already and a considerable pop-ular protest is being raised about threatened increases.

The present tariff on an ambulance call in Burnaby isa whopping $30.00 minimum with an additional chargebased on mileage. This makes the use of ambulance ser-vices in this area almost beyond the reach of theaveragecitizen.

As a result of this discussion we were again impressedwith the value of our Lions Club Ambulance Service loc-ally, where for a modest five dollar fee per year a wholefamily can be eligible to use the ambulance when needed.The trend seems to be for ambulance service to be takenover by the BCHIS, but until that time we are most fortun-ate.

While the local Lions organized the service and, alongwith the help of our volunteer firemen, provide driverson a volunteer basis, the Lions Club do not have anycontrol over where or when the ambulance goes. This isthe sole responsibility of local doctors and police. Theambulance is available to go anywhere anytime, but thetrip must be ordered or approved by the medical staff ofthe hospital.

We imagine there are others who are not aware of thisfurther benefit to S.S.I, living. We owe a great deal tothe Lions for providing this service.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *B I T S ' N P I E C E S

Our morning cereal was laced with fruit this morning.At this time of the year this may not seem strange or news-worthy, - but when I report that the fruit happened to belarge luscious strawberries this is somewhat astonishing.

Mr. Harry Loosemore dropped into the office yester-day with a little bag full of these beauties picked thatmorning, from his garden strawberry patch, as he has beendoing for some time now. They were lovely-thanks Harry.

In line with strange natural phenomena this week wasMonday's display of a crazy barometer. The pressure atour house Monday morning was something overSO. ? withthe indicator pointing smack in the middle of VERY DRY.Looking outside one could hardly see the end of the yardfor the steady downpour of rain.

Bob Fortune mentioned it in his regular evening wea-ther report, but didn't offer much of an explanation ex-cept to say you can't always go by the weather descript-ion around the circle of your glass.

We'd like to know the answer to the question as to (

why the ferry fare from Vesuvius to Crofton, a twentyminute rqn, is the same as the fare from Fulford to SwartzBay, which takes twice as long.

Could be that this is the government's way of stream-lining administration and avoiding the necessity of hav-:ing two fare structures involving different ticket systemsetc. Anyway we think it seems rather a high tariff es-pecially for those visitors to Saltspring who do not usecommuter tickets.

It is possible we might have more visitors sampling ourIsland scenery all year around, possibly on their way toand from the mainland via Long Harbour if it weren't forthis expensive short jump from Vesuvius.

What say you, C. of C.?

Yesterday'? news item from Vancouver on one aspectof the traffic problem seems to us to be somewhat illogic-

Vancouver Police Traffic Superintendent, Allan Rossi-ter announced that the traffic officers of the force havebeen ordered not to give any traffic tickets to motoristswho exceed the speed limit, providing these drivers are

moving along with the flow of traffic on the main streets.Police officials are committed to impress on citizens

the importance of respect for the law and this principle isproperly backed up with appropriate penalties. One won-ders if there shouldn't be appropriate penalties alsofor such officials as this, who openly announce, withoutreference to anyone else apparently, that the law willbe suspended.

How can this be rationalized or explained in viewof the principle that one most obey and uphold even abad law ontil it is changed?

FAREWELL-COME AGAINTO MRS. VI GRANT

by Bea Hamilton

Solimar was alive on

Sunday with the annual mar-ine picnic and outing of the

Victoria Power Squadron.The visitors arrived early and

barbecued lunch, then en-

joyed a full afternoon of fun

and frolic.

Mrs. Grace Gillson':

hands were full that day,

for she no sooner got rid ofthe Power Squadron crowd

when a local party arrived

to spend the evening around

the fire, barbecuing their

supper,chatting and gener-ally having a good time.

This was a farewell sup-

per in honour of Mrs. ViGrant who has recently left

the Island to live near Sid-

ney at Deep Cove. Good

wishes and good luck wereshowered on our neighbour

and friend-who can't keep

away from the Island any-

way - she pops over to say

hello to her friends once in

awhile.Our best wishes for a

happy home go toVi Granli
