Rfght of f~tn~e~r7at, a nil in a"TT fairness, Tt should be stated that the opinions expressed by the writer of "Spindrift" are not necessarily those of the Editor of "Driftwood". I'm not sure what brand of political thinking is subscribed to by Editor Ward -- he could be an enlightened independent but don't throw rocks at him for anything I might say which you don't happen to like. Now, having said that, I predict that John Tisdalle will be re-elected M.L.A. for Saanich and elected our M.L.A. for the Islands on September 12th. There's nothing very profound about such a prediction, it's just that any fool can see that Jimmie Campbell and Edwin Haw have the cards stacked against them. And this is too bad, be- government with unorthodox cause in a democracy the party In power operates most efficiently when It has a good opposition to keep it on its toes. Both Jimmie and Ed would make excellent oppo- sition members. Neither is afraid to speak out loud and clear when the need arises. And they would make very sure that the Islands got a square deal and not be dis- counted as an illegitimate off- spring of Nanaimo who has been dumped on the doorstep of Saanich as a result of re- cent political gerrymandering. Mr. T. is a devoted dis- ciple of the gospel according to Bennett. A perfect gentle- man, it is inconceivable that I he would ever be guilty of heresy such as challenging the policies of his own party caucus or embarrassing his demands on behalf of his con- stituents. Now don't get mewrong - I have a sneaky liking for Mr. T. - ever since I caught him getting his tea cup read down at the Galiano Fiesta coupla weeks back. It's just that I dislike "shoo-ins" and it ap- pears that is what is going to happen unless the N.D.P.-ers and the Liberals around the Islands give him a bit of a run for his money. Ed Haw will automatically pull in a lot of votes from Gal- iano and Mayne from both the traditional C.C.F ers and the younger element who ardently supported our last M.L.A., David Stupich. Jimmie Campbell is not so well known in Saanich but on the Islands he is a household word. He is admired and res- pected for the work he has done on our local school board and he has the educa- tion and business background to qualify him as a most worth while candidate. He and his wife have always been active in community affairs and ev- eryone likes their kids. Most important of all, he lives on Satuma and he knows first hand the problems that beset residents even in an island paradise. Our Galiano Chamber of Commerce tried very hard two weeks ago to get all three candidates together for a joint meeting. Each could present his platform, have the oppor- tunity for rebuttal, a question and answer period, and a social hour afterwards. The whole Island would have turned out and listened and heckled and had a hell of a time. Each speaker would have had the chance to get his message across to the un- believers and not just be in the position of preaching to the converted. Well, the other two were keen on the idea but Mr. Tis- dalle wouldn't have any. He said his plans were all laid and his advisory committe didn't cotton to mass meetings. , It is regrettable that this committee didn't see fit to "include an Islander or_two among their number.

The gtrls, about 17 years of age, left the B.A.dock in a small 15' boat, ,and putted merri- ly out to sea. Somewhere in the vicinity of the southern tip of Prevost Island the motor conked out and the girls were unable to start it again. Linda's father came over from Victoria later in the day (Saturday) to find no sign of the girls. A check of the docks around proved fruitless and about 11.30 p.m. the police boat was notified of the prob- lem. A full scale search was organized and at 8 a.m.Sunday morning Air-Sea Rescue in Van couver was called in to help. The girls were finally located on the south shore of Prevost Island,. Their boat had drift- ed ashore and they had appar- ently spent the night on the island. The coast guard cutter, Ready, brought the girls Into Ganges about noon on Sunday. The Police Boat Sidney was also engaged for two hours last week in a search for Mr. Joe Martlnich of Pender flsJand/ who had gone fishing and was overdue in returning. Mr.Mar- 'tinich finally turned up by him-' self under his own power. His boat had apparently gone short of gas and Mr.Martinich had to paddle himself back home.

E D I T O R I A L PAGEAfter the past few months, ana more especially the past

week, more and more people are coming to see that the timeis fast approach! ng when the strike, as a means of settlinglabor disputes, is obsolete. In terms of the last week wherewe see a group of workers in a vital national industry com-pletely disrupting the national economy in a matter of hours,one is led to wonder about the justification for trade unionsas such.

Is there validity in the principle of the union's right tostrike that has become almost a holy tenet of a free enterpriseeconomy, when that right involves the hardship and incon-venience of a much larger majority of the nation's citizenry ?After all, freedom as it is defined in so many writings saysthat a person or group has the right to pursue his life and live-lihood in any way he finds most useful and effective for him,PROVIDED that those pursuits do not interfere with his fel-low's rights to life and livelihood, and the freedom to do thesame.

How can unions expect to hold the confidence and re-spect of the citizenry, when we have so many examples ofcollective behavior designed as a bare-faced attempt to getall the law allows, and sometimes more of this world's goodsand to hell with their neighbors. As far as this wiriter is con-cerned, it does not seem to be a struggle for a decent living,as a very few union men can say they are suffering greathardship at present, but only a greedy belief in the principleof riding the boom for all its worlh before it busts.

In our view the bust won't be long in coming at this rate.You would think the big boys behind the unions might

see and learn from history in these matters, and what is hap-pening around them,- like in England for instance. Fightingfor its economic life, unions still won't leave off their de-mands for more of what is becoming an impossibility for anynation to produce.

Maybe a large part of the problem lies in the fact thattrade unions find themselves today in the same position thatmanagement was when unions were formed. Wealthy, andwielding tremendous power, the few moguls at the top simplyrefuse to listen to anyone, but continue in what amounts toextortion manipulating the individual and even wholegroups of tradesmen, like puppets at the end of a string.

It would appear that the average man in the street isslowly becoming disenchanted with modern trade unions andis becoming more and mote convinced their present power toparalyze the business and industrial life and personal free-doms of the public should and must be limited severely bylegislation.

In our discussions and reading on the subject recently wehave been impressed with the fact that we have yet to find asympathetic voice as far as the railroad brotherhood is con-cerned in its present demands on management.

A part of one of our recent discussions with an electioncandidate is relevant here. The statement was made that theNDP made .a very large tactical error when it became identi-fied so closely with organized labor. The two philosophies areare poles apart since the NDP is a professed socialist move-ment, believing in the fair sharing of this world's goods amongall. Present behavior of the unions shows they cannot everbe socialist oriented since their ultimate purpose is complet-ely foreign to this principle undirected towards getting asmuch as possible for their own small group.

For sure we are not in a position to judge the actualmerits of the railroaders' cause, but we can censure in fulltheir bullish, militant, non-compromising attitude towardsthose with whom they have to deal.

It will take more than a good public relations program torid unions of the bad name they are earning of recent times.

Further musings in this vein raises the question as to howlong it will be before powers realize the dire need for moreknowledge and skills and training in inter-gtoups relations..Hmmmm how does one explain?

For example, isn't it true that the larger the group ororganization becomes, the more distant, unimportant anduncommitted becomes the individual member. Right? Thelarger the organization the greater the tendency for smallpower cliques to form and vie with one another for the summitpower position. At this point we have decay. How does any-group prevent it?

appeared astern. Despite thearticle about the Lakembawhich some of your readerslaw in the Colonist, she is aivery quiet and steady boat.There are 50 adults and 16children aboard. Food isgood and plentiful, and inaddjtiprLto the usual meals wehave tea or coffee and bis-cuits mid-morning , mid-afternoon and late snack oflandwiches also. So far wehave seen only 2 other ships,several whales and dolphinsand are now among the fly-ing fish. Sun is hot but agentle sea breeze helps andthe boat is all air-conditionedwhich makes it almost too (cool. We have deck quoits,movies twice a week, cardgames, bingo etc. Alt in alla very enjoyable trip. Theship is loaded with lumber,and despite long Pacific swell:she scarcely rolls at all. Weare doing about 280 miles perday. We have a really com-fortable cabin with our owntoilet,shower and wash basin,2 wardrobes and a large chestof drawers. Altho at the timeof writing we have been onboard a week, the time hasnot dragged. We shall, un-fortunately not have muchtime in Honolulu as we onlypick up fresh water andsupplies. It appears we shallarrive on Saturday afternoonand leave by dark. We ofcourse hope to get ashore ifonly for an hour and willmail you our impressions ofthe place from Suva where weshall spend several days un-loading deck lumber.From Suva on. the South-Eastside of Vita Levu we go toLautoka on the West side andunload rhe rest of the deckcargo. The crew have riggeda swimming pool [ust forwardof the bridge, but it is notvery large and the kids enjoyit most. All in all, havinga marvellous time.

Dear Editor T

Salt Springs first SummerSchool of Fine Arts ended onFriday. The eighteen artistsfrom Vancouver, Haney,Cran-brook, Duncan, Crofton andSalt Spring will, I am sure,unanimously agree it was aninspiring and informative.fourweeks.

The warm personal friend-ships springing from peopleall involved in the samecreative effort made the lastday in the studio a sad one.

Few talented artists havethe ability to pass on their"know-how", and so it'wasunbelievably fortunate thatMurray MacDonald with hisparticular excellence in thisfield should come to so smalland undistinquished a group(forgive me, classmates).

His lectures, demonstrat-ions, criticisms etc. were allvital, vigorous and complete-ly digestible by all.

With his encouragementand suggestions it is expectednext year to again have amonth long course in Art withthe same limited number T

participating in just an A.M.class, and two afternoonsalotted to children's instruct-ions.

Possibly some other artwould be included such asweaving or ceramics; if en-

G u l f I s l

thusiasm, accommodation,equipment, and top qualityinstruction were available atthe limited financial levelnecessary for a first venture.

On behalf of th« group andMn MacDonald I would liketo thank all those who helpedmake this summer school asuccess. Thanks to thosewhose homes and grounds weremade available to the classas a whole or to individualoff-islanders. Thanks to themany people who entertainedMr.Mac Donald so graciously.He is now contemplating re -tirement here(any waterfrontlots?) . Many thanks to theAdult Education Dept. andits representative here forfinancial support exceedingthat hoped for. Thanks toDriftwood for its kind wordsand adequate art supplies.(If the latter is not sold re-gularly someone isn't doingtheir homework.) Thanks to _the many friends who gaveme a shove during the earlydays of organizing and un-certainty.

Last but not at all least:having spent this month con-templating the beauties ofnature, old barns, old hous-es, surrounding waters intheir many moods any-one for a conservationistsgroup on these islandsbefore it's too late?

JAMES WILSON FUNERALby Frances Seville

(Pender)The funeral of Mr. James

Wilson was held by BishopM.E. Coleman at St. Peter'sChurch at 11 a.m., August24th.

Mrs. Wilson's sisters,Mrs. S. Harris from AuburnWashington, and Mrs. R.L.Benson from Seattle, and Mr,J. Wilson's sister, Mr. andMrs. T. Dodd, from Osoyoosand nieces and nephews fromVancouver came to the Islancfor the ceremony, alsobrother-in-law, Mr. andMrs. F. Pierce, from Van-couver, and Mr. and Mrs.A.H. Jones from Victoria._

Their son, Norman Wil-son, from Richmond, <jnddaughter, Miss Joan Wilson,and Mr. and Mrs. DonaldWilson (their son) and Mr. andMrs. A. Wilson, with MissJean Davidson all from Van-couver, and innumerablefriends and fellow-parishion-ers filled the church for the

s occasion.Interment at the cemetery

followed.Mrs. J. Wilson wishes to

thank Bishop Coleman and allher many friends for theirwonderful support at this time.

The "great" commitment all tooeasily obscures the "little" one. Butwithout the humility and warmthwhich you have to develop . . . tothe few with whom you are per-.sonally involved, you will never beable to do anything for the many.. . . Love . . . would remain . . .powerless against the negative forceswithin you, if it were not tamed bythe yoke of human intimacy andwarmed by its tenderness.

But it was all for a good :cause and everyone had awonderful time. We'll prob-ably see many of the items

George Georgeson was in to see us the other day and wasshowing us a new product that should be in high demand inthese parts—a fibre glass well casing. He is shown here hold-ing up a section of hew well casing that measures about fourfeet In diameter and comes in two-foot sections. The newproduct in fibre glass means little or no maintenance and willlast practically forever. Sections can be bolted togetherthrough langes at end.

George tells us he has another new product just out whichshould beaboon to islanders - especially waterfront owners.A new fibreglass float pontoon for private wharves. Theycome all set up ready for stringers to be bolted on and thedecking built on top of that. He says a private dock can beobtained now in these new.materials for under $500.

A new $500home purchaseand constructiongrant!Your Social Credit Government has always acted to extend the benefitsof our Province's progress to all our people. The new $500 home-purchase and construction grant will be available to families nowrenting and young couples starting out in life together who wish to|own their own home - and the grant will increase by $25 annually![This far-seeing plan, another "first" from your Social Credit Govern-Iment, will be backed by a $25,000,000 fund!

A$200homeownergrant in thenext 7 years!It's no wonder British Columbia's population growth is double thenational rate. Where else will you find a Government that already pays$110 a year toward the taxes of every qualified homeowner in theProvince? In the next 7 years your Social Credit Government will in-crease the homeowner grant to $200 - and already the grant has givenBritish Columbians the lowest taxes in the nation.

PARCHMENT SNOBBERYIn 1228, the Holy Roman

Emperor Frederick II issued a*

charter to the nuns of Coess inSyria on a new writing mater-ial—paper. The secret of its

manufacture had been brought

by the Arabs from China and

spread rapidly to all parts of

the mighty Arab empire, inEurope, first to Spain and thenin the twelfth century to Italy.Three years after his first ex-

periment with this new sub-

stance, however, Frederick IIreconsidered, forbade the fur-

ther use of paper for pbulic^documents, and decreed that

henceforth they must be inscri-bed on parchment. This kind

of snobbery still exists. Even

when the durability of paperwas no longer suspect, parch-ment remained the proper mat-

erial for precious books, for

legal documents and valuablerecords.

SPINDRIFT,ano.

Mr. T. said the reasonthe crowd didn't .turn out was

because "Driftwood" hadn'tprinted his Island visitingschedule.

Well, we know for a factthat north end folks were allaware of the meeting and thathe was going to show a filmabout the big new Hydro pro-jects. What Mr. T. didn'tknow was that the poor littleJoes on North 'Galiano are fedup to here with Hydro. They'vespent a whole year of blood,sweat and blisters building 'their own 15-mile power lineto serve their community be-cause Hydro couldn't afford todo it all alone.

Mr. T. fold us all abouthis recent visit to Australiawhere the parks are all dried

(The Labour governmentt big reservoirs but "for-

got to put irpa distributionsystem").

Then he went to New Zea-land and spent fifteen minutestelling us all about the "re-tarded economy" in thatcountry because of its lousy

Labour government. Mr. T.got along just fine in thecountries down under becausehe took his wife with hifm.Apparently this is quite a deal-Anzac brass is not accustomedtn mcafTnn *k» ...it— c >to meeting the wives of Im-portant Canadians as they areusually left at home with thekids.

The speaker then moved toSaskatchewan and told us whata bunch of socialistic stinkers-had aone to that fair province.

Finally he got arouna toB.C. where everything ishunky-dory and we never had

, It so good.He's absolutely right -

after the last Coalition messthere was no place for thisprovince to go but up. It may

be treason on my part but Istill say that Mr. Bennett did-n't do this all by himself. TheAlmighty should be given alittle credit now and then forour abundant natural resourcesand present state of affluence.

If I have any real quarrelwith Socred politicians (apartfrom Phil Gaglardi - bless hishis heart) it is their typicalover-weening self-confidencewhich doesn't sit too wellwith a great many independ-ent thinking Islanders. A de-gree of humility, on occasion,often does a great deal formen in high places.

Yes, Mr. Tisdallewillprobably get re-elected onSeptember 12th, but we stillhope that Jimmie Campbelland Ed Haw supporters givehim a run for his money. Thatway he won't figure he's gotthe Islands safely in his hippocket and not have to both-er about us until the next el-ection comes alone

For many moons we have been trying to get a shot of these islands that come somewUre closeto illustrating their matchless beauty rivalling any other spectacular view on the conttant.When one says that (and we believe it) even we are impressed with the size of a project.Anyway we have come nowhere near what we are always hoping to get. Here is one of our lat-est attempts. Islanders on Salt Spring will recognize the view taken from the lower section ofthe Hundred Hills development, looking across Ganges Harbour to Castle and Chocolate Islandsand across Scott Point to Galiano in the distant background.
