PLANNINGAPPROVEDON ISLANDS

Planning is looming closerfor the islands.

Last week the Capital Re-gional Board gave unanimousapproval to the call for a sur-vey of planning needs for theislands.

Salt Spring Director DougCavaye presented the resolu-tion that the board adopt somemeasure of planning for the is-lands. It was seconded by Is-lands Director Joan Purchase.

Planning is new to the board,In other areas it has under-

GRADUATES ARE TOLD

DON'T MAKE OUR MISTAKES!Don't repeat our mistakes.Graduates at Ganges were

warned on Wednesday.Speaker of the evening

during the graduation exercisesat Gulf Islands SecondarySchool was J.M. Campbell,Saturna Island trustee, farmerand president of the BritishColumbia School Trustees As-sociation.

Mr. Campbell spoke onschools and on islands.

He spoke of education "as Isee it" and of Islands "as Iknow them".

Education, he commented,has been described as a 12-yeairap but the kid didn't knowwhat he got it for.

Students are constantly toldthat the world is changing rap-idly and overwhelmingly, hetold the graduates.

"I don't believe the chan-ges are as large as they appearto be," he continued, "Peopleare largely the same as theyalways have been."

Of education he reviewedsome of his own experiences.

He was at a meeting of ed-ucators in California, he toldthe students, when the speakerahead of him was the superin-tendent of education for the LosAngeles area. The big cityeducator told the meeting thatthe city was building one new,million-dollar school per week.

In his turn, Mr. Campbellspoke warmly of the expansionof his own community. In thepast 20 years the population ofhis own island has doubled, hetold the American teachingparley.

Population has risen from 65to 130 in 18 years, he had boas-ted, and the school had grownto a two-room structure.

However, he just didn't wantto live in Los Angeles, he said.

Mr. Campbell is convinced,he told graduates, that thepeople there have made all themistakes it is possible to makein the destruction of human en-vironment.

He moved from Californiato the Gulf Islands.

Important thing about theislands is that they are very-very new, he observed. Theyare unspoiled.

He looked to another is-land.

Bermuda is almost the samesize as Galiano, said theschool trustee. It accommo-

dates 37,000 people. Water isscarce, there is not a lake,river or stream.

Capri, island in the Medi-terranean, setting more thanone popular song is the size ofSaturna, continued Mr. Camp-bell. There are 9,000 peopleon Capri, with a tenfold in-crease during the holiday sea-son. Water is brought in bytanker, he added.

"Vast changes are going totake place in our communityin the lifetime of you gradu-ates," he warned them, "Ihope you will go away andlearn what it's like elsewhere.Then come back and help theislanders to avoid making thehorrible mistakes made inother parts of the world."

feet all the region, such assewage disposal, recreationfacilities and overall services.

The decision to support asurvey of planning in the is-lands was prompted by the con-viction that the islands face amajor development and withoutplanning their attractions willbe lost.

The motion for planning fol-lowed a receipt of a letter fromthe Chambers of Commerce onSalt Spring Island and PenderIsland and the South PenderCommunity Club.

All asked for the implemen-tation of some degree of planining or development control.

Victoria Alderman IanStewart, chairman of the Cap-ital Region Planning Board hadearlier spoken to the Salt SpringIsland chamber, outlining thevalue of planning as well asthe means of implementing it.

Pender residents had heard aresume of planning from theplanning board director Anthon}Roberts who was also speakingon the subject to the MayneIsland Ratepayers' Associationon Saturday evening.

There has been a rapid in-crease in development activityamong the islands, reported IanStewart, Victoria aldermanand chairman of the planningboard.

The unplanned developmentis now placing a strain on nat-ural and man-made resources.In some cases it is exerting athreat to the basic scenic andenvironmental qualities of theislands. These qualities, with afavourable climate make theislands unique in Canada, notedthe planning board chairman.

The beauty of the islands istoo well known to permit it tobe ruined, suggested the Vic-toria alderman. The Gulf Is-lands arc an asset to the regionand to all Canada, he suggestecWith this awareness, it wouldbe unthinkable to leave itsfuture to chance, he reported.

Members of the Capital Re-gional Board agreed with him.

The survey will be startedin the next few weeks. Everyaspect of island life and living,island needs and island assetswill be examined.

Availability of water andother services will be consider-ed. F.ven sewage disposal prob-lems will be examined by thesurveyors. Population trendsand commerce are automatic-ally part of the survey.

Survey is expected to costabout $4,700 announced Alder-man Stewart.

The survey is visualized as afeasibility study, to investigateevery aspect of planning andplanning needs among the is-lands.

All islands will be consideredand a pattern of procedure willbe prepared.

The decision was case of fastmoving in respect of the SaltSpring project. Formal letterwas written on Monday, receiv-ed by the board on Tuesday andgiven unanimous approval onWednesday.

GARDEN CLUB MEETSBy YELLOW THUMB

Last Wednesday was a galaoccasion for members of theGarden Club and their friendswhen we had the privilege ofvisiting the garden of Mr. andMrs. P.G. James of VesuviusBay.

Their gardens slope down-wards toward the sea, withmaximum opportunity to baskin the sunshine. And we didhave sunshine that morning,both in the warm welcomegiven by our hosts, and thesun itself actually managed toelude the clouds for a fewhours.

In spite of a long drought inMay and early June, followedby wind and rain, all of whichare hard on gardens, Mr. andMrs. James had managed tokeep their garden in excellentcondition. The masses of blos-soms showed no ill effects ofthe recent showers, thanks tothe excellent care and pr ec-autions provided by our hosts.This was a popular occasion,and some GO members andguests attended.

The Things They Say

(United Church of Canada)Laymen who query television

executives about the impact oftheir medium on current be-haviour often have the uneasysuspicion that the latter arewalking two ways at once.

They report with pride theireffectiveness as purveyors ofgoods and services. The pitchtor cereals, hairspray and easycredit from finance companiespresumably pays off. Certainly,TV gets the lion's share of theadvertising dollar.

However, when it is suggest-ed that the programs themselve!are equally influential, thestory changes. When asked a-bout the connection betweenthe incessant gunplay on thescreen and the rising crime rateand disrespect for law, they an-swer solemnly that there is noneat all. Confronted with the si-milar techniques used by psy-chotic mass killers in variousplaces they vigorously rejectthe idea that television hasbeen either stimulus or teacher."We only reflect current pat-terns we don't create them" isthe stock answer.

No one would contend theyare solely responsible for vio-lence. Many other factors arepresent — the deranged mind,the fru; nations that triggerthe explosion — but a con-cerned public feels there is agenuine relationship betweensome television fare and vio-lence.

PLANNING THE ISLANDSWhen the Capital Regional District was asked to

support a move towards community p lanning on theGulf Islands, members took an unprecedented step.Not only did the board agree that planning was need-ed, but they approved a resolution to become invol-ved in community planning despite the fact thathitherto this function has been outside the range ofthe district board.

The action of the members should be noted by is-landers.

The decision to undertake a planning survey of theislands was prompted by concern, by a friendly con-cern, for the hazards of unplanned development. Fur-thermore, it was undertaken by a group of experien-ced and responsible administrators who required noconvincing that planning is essential to a mainten-ance of island amenities.

We should remember with the gratitude the con-cern .shown for our problems by other, nearby areas.

KEEP THEM FREE!Dominion Day was not the official start of summer.

It brought a new promise of summer in its wake.The hot summer's day brought out swimmers and

sailors in their small boats. As swimmers swam safelyand boats manoeuvred the crowded seas without in-cident it became very clear that the close attentionof islanders will be needed in the future to stay alive*

Every swimmer should be sufficiently competent torecover from sudden immersion in the water and stillreturn to shore. Every man in a boat, and particul-arly small persons in charge of boats should be fullyinformed of the procedure in handling a boat and inrecovering after a spill.

The waters here will not likely lose their popular-ity. Let's keep them free of corpses !

LETTERS TO THE EDITORWi; W-VKRSTOP HATING!liuitor, Driftwood,

Upon bcini; engulfed in theureat wave o? tourists thatFlooded tlie local grocery storeson June '29tli I experienced dif-ferent reaction from that ofprevious summers. All wereFilling tlieir carts with whatthey fancied to eat on the com-ing holiday.

First, about two weeks ago,there came in the mail an ap-peal from the "Save the Child-ren Fund" with its picture ofbaby with skin hanging from itsmatch-stick legs and arms,leaning back against its moth-er's arm because it had not thestrength to hold itself up.

Next, I saw a picture in amagazine showing a few smallmounds of sugar, rice, peaswith beans, a box of flour anda small glass of soy bean oil

— with the caption "Couldyou live on this for a month?"Here in Canada, this amountof food would be consideredinsufficient to feed one of usfor a week. Yet this is all theU. N. can afford to supply toan Arab refugee displaced bythe six day Arab-Israeli war ofJune, 19G7.

Again, just the past Sundaya local minister said that whenwe see pictures in magazines ofthe sad eyed children with theswollen tummies we can easilyflip over the page because wehave become callous to thehunger of other people.

It is dangerous to be indiffer-ent to hungry people, becauseevery day the ratio of hungry tonon-hungry is growing. Just aswe see and hear about the mis-erable state of many people in

Asia on our television sets andradio, so many of these peoplehear about us on transistorradios. They are learning aboutthe abundance of food, clothingand other possessions we canbuy for ourselves and I am surethat they do not regard us withadmiration and love. Also,more and more of us travel overseas to give these people first-hand looks at us.

We do not share enough withthese people. Yes, in 1968,Canada gave 350 million dol-lars to developing countries,but, Canadians also spent:1 billion dollars on alcohol500 million on travel abroad400 million at the race tracks200 million on candy30 million on dog and cat food

The hungry people of theworld will not always meeklystand by and starve to death,knowing we grow fat eatingmore than we should. Investin your children's safe future by

(a) Contributing as muchmoney as possible to programswhich seek creatively to ab-breviate the crises in develop-ing countries.

(b) Write letters and use yourvote to support internationalpolicies that really give dev-eloping countries a fair chance.

(c) Become informed con-cerning the issues and problemsinvolved.C. Arnell,R.R.1,Ganges, B.C.July 1, 1969

SOUTH vs. NORTHEditor, Driftwood,

Information received fromthe Chamber of Commerce, inthat unorganised backwash ofcivilization called Ganges,does not reflect the general de-sire , or the beliefs of the moreimportant south half of this Is-land.

Isabella Point Road is sadlyin need of repair, with half amile of it being eroded into thebay by high tides. Residents areforced to protect the shorelineat their own expense, andwould appreciate help from theDept. of Highways. It is un-safe to exceed 30 M.P.H. inthis area, but there is no mark-ed limit.

Fulford Harbour is safe andlarge. The only large amountof Rock required to form break-waters is close to the village,and can be utilised to create afast road via Fulford from theprotected waters at Skull Rocks,from this point car roads viaFulford and Beaver Point can bebuilt, to serve large communi-

ties on the Ea st side of the is-land, and to accomodate carsfrom Victoria, eventually ofmore workers than of sight-seers.

When a wharf is necessary atIsabella Point, it will be onlywhen the overflow of Victoriaand Saanich demand it, and nolto accomodate a few membersof the Chamber of Commerce,who represent nobody in parti-cular.

Meanwhile let us have somereadwork done to give us morevisibility, and to pr event fur-ther erosion on, the Northernhalf of Isabella Point Road al-ong the shoreline, with markedlimits of 30 MPH.D.S. Morrison,Isabella Point Road,RR1 Fulford HarbourJune 27, 1969

"Are you going tocharge me 750 to cash thissmall cheque at a branch of aBank where I am a depositor?"I asked. "Yes, we have to dothis to pay for the phone call"was the reply. Of course Ishould have torn up my chequeand left the Bank but I was soshocked that it didn't occur tome in time, so I left with$24.25. After normal Bankcharges my $25.00 withdrawnfrom my account here cost me$1.00. This is " gouging", pureand simple. No good excusecan be made for such an ex-cessive "service charge". Com-plaint to the Duncan Bankmanager produced a reply tothe effect that the 'phone callcost 250 and "we have instruc-tions to levy a standard chargeof 500 in addition to the tele-phone call cost".

FRANKSalt Spring Island seaweed

is on the up and up. Mr. Sea-weed, of Sidney, MartinWoodford, who operates SidneySeaweed Products, has circu-lated a pamphlet among farm-ers everywhere, promoting hisproduct, Alginure, liquefiedseaweed.

He al so promotes SaltSpring Island, Salt Spring Is-land Sunrise Tomatoes, golf,Jack James and his cultures andDRIFTWOOD.

Salt Spring Island is like theChannel Islands in the EnglishChannel says the pamphlet.Both have plenty of seaweedand kelp off shore: the Chan-nel Islands have grown toma-toes as a cash crop for manyyears, Salt Spring Island is star-ting out to grow tomatoes.Bom the Channel Islands and.Salt Spring Island import liquidseaweed, he states.

When Mr. Seaweed calledin on various island growersrecently he met Mr. James.

Mr. and Mrs. James did agreat deal of work in the dev-elopment of the CentennialPark and were jointly namedCitizen of the Year followingtheir efforts. Mr. James culti-vated the Sunrise tomato tostand up to the cool nights ofthe islands summer.

The Sidney seaweed manpublished his pamphlet to en-courage an interest in his pro-duct. He digresses here andthere.

The pamphlet suggests thata good place to play golf onSalt Spring is the Golf Club.

He shows a picture of BobFoulis, "in charge of the greensand course for many years."

His final picture is of FrankRichards, of DRIFTWOOD. Heis shown nursing a miniaturemermaid. No endorsation ap-pears of liquid seaweed. Hejust sneaked in there when thepublisher of the pamphletwasn't looking.

"Among Mr. Richards' hob-bies," says the blurb, "Hecatches the odd mermaid." Theplaster maid was at one timethe Sidney firm's mascot.

It's probably libellous.***

A traveller from the interiorrecently protested against thecut-glass map aboard the Se-chelt Queen. He was most in-dignant, he told DRIFTWOODat the time, at the mention ofall the communities south ofthe international border andthe absence of Canadian list-ings. The criticism was interes-ting but a little less than fair.The map is older than the

4 jp's history in this province.The Sechelt Queen was origin-ally a Black Ball ship and op-erated out of Seattle. The mapwas made by a firm of engrav-ers in Seattle at that time. In

slater years the old Chinook'came into the possession of theprovincial government and themap has been kept as an at-traction to passengers.

***Lot of work has been done

around the Catholic church ofSt. Paul in Fulford. Oldestchurch on Salt Spring Island, itnow has the newest setting. Thegrounds have been cleared andterraced and the entrance to thecar park is now some distancefrom the building. Several peo-ple have looked for a new sub-division there as the changes aremade, but one member of thechurch observed that the groundhave already been used as a

BY RICHARDS

cemetery and the only subdiv-ision there will likely be occu-pied by graves rather than newhomes. There has been somethought of using part of the ex-tensive grounds for other pur-poses in some future time, saidBob Akerman.

***Spectacular view of St.

Mary Lake and across to theother islands can be enjoyedfrom Geoff Howland's newsubdivision to the east of thelake. Obviously he is not atelevision fan. If he were wellup on TV titles he would nothave named his developmentSt. Mary Highlands. He wouldhave termed it Howland's Highlands.

***Sechelt Queen is blushing.

The provincial islands ferry isembarrassed. The ship bearsher name proudly as it standsout in relief against the whitepaint of her superstructure.The relief letters are pleasant-ly picked out in the blue of theferry uniform. Except for thetwo letters. Picked out for allto read are, Sechelt Queen,Victoria. Hidden by a heavycoat of white paint are theletters, BC. New prime-min-isterial emphasis in the prov-ince is on the use of the fulltitle of British Columbia. Oneday the Ritish Olumbia will nodoubt be added.

***A few months ago Ron Cun-

ningham made his way fromMayne Island to Salt Spring andbrought with him a dollar bill.It may have been his last, hedidn't say. The bill had a holein it and he spent it as soon ashe set foot on dry land. A fewminutes later, at another Gan-ges store, he received the id-entical bill in change. Ron wasinterested in the coincidenceand commented on it. When hehad spent it again and againreceived it in change, he wasstaggered. In a careless mo-ment he remarked on the coin-cidence to a newsman. Thencame another coincidence. Ronclipped the reference in DRIFT-WOOD, intending to send it tohis parents as an item of inter-est. His parents were on holi-day in the United States so heheld back his clipping. In the

" Boy! That is a dirtystench!" commented the driver

"Yeah!" agreed the hitch-hiker, "Smells like dollars tome."

No sewage, treated or un-treated, should be dischargedinto the sea, asserted Mrs. AdaRyan at a recent public meet-ing in Ganges. Mrs. Ryan, whchas worked hard for the oppon-ents of pollution, was repeat-ing a statement made whenthe Pollution Control Board re-cently heard objections to thegranting of a license to dis-charge partially treated sew-age into the Trincomali Chan-nel.

All domestic dischargesshould be passed through aseptic tank system and thencereturned to the ground, aversMrs. Ryan.

diminished and it is no longereagerly sought by skin divers.Recreational value of coastalwaters is now diminishing asthe industrial use increases, hesuggested.

There has been a nonchal-ant attitude towards resourcesin this country, said Mr.Kiernan at the same meeting.It is regrettable, he added. Helooked back into history.

"For the first 100 years itwas a battle to drive back thewilderness. Only in the lastcouple of decades have peoplebecome mindful of the factthat wilderness is not unlimitedand that we have the right touse it but not to abuse it."

The pulp mill has been thesalvation in this province ofwhat was formerly waste,theminister continued.

It was traditionally left inthe bush. The provincial eco-nomy, in terms of revenue andjobs has gained a tremendousboost from the pulp mills, saidMr. Kiernan. This productionfrom waste runs into hundredsof millions of dollars a year.

Industry is not yet able tobuild an odourless mill, headmitted. The odour is notice-able .in the air when the pollu-tion reaches the extent of severparts per million, he remarked

At 10 p.p.m. it is offensive.He did not expand his subjectinto the degree of contamina-tion experienced on Salt SpringIsland.

Liquid discharges are of alesser problem, explained theminister. At Prince George themills have spent $3 million toclean up the liquid discharge,he stated. When the mill isoperating you can now drinkthe discharge, he averred.

The odour from a pulp millis particularly pungent, agreedMr. Kiernan.

The discharges are destruct-ive of marine life, agreed theminister.

Nevertheless, the govern-ment has not reduced its stand-ards, although older operationsare not yet all maintainingthose standards.

* *

Influence of discharges intothe sea are threatening the en-tire future of mankind, warnsthe ecologist.

Yes, responds the reason-able man, but you've got tohave industry.

* *Car drives on to the ferry at

Fulford. The elderly occupantswait until the ship nears theend of the harbour. They thenclimb out of the car and walkto the ship's rail to throw over-board the week's accumulationof garbage. They don't have toworry about the effect of suchacts. They are probably oldenough they will never sufferthe effects.

Sewage will never harm theenvironment as long as it goesin the sea, where it belongs,asserts the Greater VictoriaMetropolitan Board of Health.But the same board has prohib-ited swimming around many abeach because of pollution bysewage. Sewage is safe in thesea, echo many authoritativevoices. Except where it hasmessed up the sea, warn thosewho come here from PugetSound or San Francisco Bay orother places where domesticand industrial waste have des-troyed the amenities.

* *

Pollution is sometimes con-sidered with a cold, analyticaleye. Usually it is the subject ofsome heat and intensity. Theearth in and around Ganges vil-lage is polluted, assert healthauthorities. Rubbish, retortsmany a resident. The very sug-gestion that a man's disposalfield is less than effective, intoday's idiom is rather like ac-cusing him of adultery a fewdecades ago.

* #From Ottawa, comes a letter

from a reader who is interestedin the problems of pollution,particularly as they affect thecapital city. The condition ofthe Ottawa River is now afford-ing concern to the House ofCommons, he writes. The letterpoints out the advantages to theindividual and to society of acombustion toilet in which thedischarges are burned, notwashed away. The eastern writ-er also encloses a full page fea-ture from the Ottawa Journal de-scribing the conditions of waterresources in the United States.

Man is poisoning his world,says Joseph Myler, of UnitedPress International. The storyshows pictures of filth in sea,lake and creek. The picturesare typical of communities allover the continent.

A reporter comes to SaltSpring Island to follow upearlier reports in DRIFTWOODof sea and sawdust. One resid-ent assures the visitor that thereis no pollution here and thatshe always swims in the seawhen she wants to.

$ *An American woman rec-

ently came here to live andagrees that it was possible toswim in Vesuvius Bay when itwas covered over with debris."It was horrible," she adds.

* *St. Mary Lake provides re-

creation for boating, swimminglazing in the sun. It also pro-vides water for thirsty residents.Says one resort operator, I canbuy a sewage disposal unit forabout $100,000 to handle allthe discharges from a 30-roomhotel: why not such a unit forGanges?

* *And there is the broad pic-

ture of the islands. All the GulfIslands are in the same boat.To the west, a pulp mill: tothe east, the Fraser River. Sofar, if you dive deep you candodge the feces. Will it bealways so?

to the roads in a concerted ef-fort to finish or to finish firstas the islands first fun-walkath-on attracted most able-bodiedislanders and a few from otherislands as well.

Senior walker was S.R.Thompson, of Victoria, whocompleted the course in goodtime despite his 74 years.

Cutting the ribbon to let offall the walkers shortly after 11am on Sunday was T.C. Doug-las, MP., who also took partin the event. The veteranmember for Nanaimo-Cowicharand the Islands completed thecourse briskly after launchingthe event. Second British Col-umbian politician to take partwas the new leader of the Pro-gressive Conservatives in BritishColumbia, John de Wolf. Sum-mer resident of the island, hereached the end of the coursewith not a sign of exertion.

Each walker was sponsored bya public-spirited citizen whoguaranteed to pay to the MayneIsland Agricultural Society anarbitrary figure for each milewalked by the competitor.

Course took the walkers ar-ound the perimeter of the is-land and through paths not al- ,ways usable by automobile traf-fic.

Number of check points Wenthe scene of a gag, such as tlje,.second point with its imported^ 'waxworks consisting of a num-ber of wax figures or fruit.

The majority of walkerswere home by 4 pm and at ab-out 4.40 the last of the walkerslimped in. They were JesseBrown, Mrs. Alan Steward andMrs. Nesta Hall.

Wood is a combustible material.When it is used in correctly de-signed structures it can be saferthan steel or concrete. Large di-mension timbers, for example, canwithstand extreme temperaturesexcept for charring of the outersurface whereas materials like steelmay buckle under extreme heat.

Canada has a total forest landarea of over 1 billion acres.

Other winners were largestfamily, John Rainsford and fa-mily; youngest competitors tocomplete the course, CathyShaw and Manuel Tymo; cos-tumes, children, Heather Shaw,Stacey Bavis, Laurine Bever-idge and Jennifer Blake. Alsoamong the costume winnerswas a pet 'dog, Tinker Mitchell,Decorated adults included EffiePiggott, Alan Steward, JoyceMitchell and Ron Mitchell.

Pair of hoboes were KayLowe and Laurie Knutsen.

Refreshments were on sale atthe community Hall after theevent and a final contest wasstaged between the island dig-nitaries and visiting politicians.Alan Steward, who wasstripped down for racing, tookthe first place.

TELEPHONE STRIKE

B.C. Tel is preparedto talk

when the unionis realistic

The following is a statement by J. ErnestRichardson, President and Chief ExecutiveOfficer of B.C. Telephone:

The officers of the Federation of Telephone Workers of B.C. have led theirmembership into a strike against B.C. Telephone, rejecting generous and unanimousrecommendations of a federal conciliation board. The company accepted thoserecommendations.

On the eve of strike action the Federation officers confronted the company withnew demands for wage increases of 32.1 per cent and reduced working hours andother benefits bringing the total increase to 43.5 per cent by January 1, 1970.

Our company is prepared to resume talks at any time the Federation officers indi-cate they will show responsibility in their demands.

The Union officers know as well as we do that increases costing nearly$30,000,000 and amounting to 43.5 per cent by next January 1st are absurd. Theymade these demands at the eleventh hour, making a mockery of collective bargaining.

Their action only strengthens my conviction that the federation officers have notbargained in good faith, but have deliberately forced a strike just to kick manage-ment in the teeth.

We are concerned about the effect of a strike on individual employees and theirfamilies. But it is apparent the Union officers have no such concern, and they mustbear the blame for the hardships which result.

Saturna Islanders were toobusy to tak e time out when thesignal came to stop talking andstart carving.

It was a glorious day for theannual gluttony. Pallid indoors-men started the day pale andended up sore with sunburn.

In charge of the barbecue wasJim Campbell, looking morelike a pirate than a chef. Mini-ster of finance was Mrs. LouiseMoney, who sold the barbecue

tickets.Crowds were from every-

where.

Boatloads attended from theother islands. Small vessels frorrSidney were augmented by the'Lakewood, with passengers fromVancouver Island.

Other hungry visitors came inby plane and the Mayne Queenwas loaded to the gunwales withcandidates for lamb.

TO SET UP IN BUSINESS

Brave Man 10 Years AgoA decade ago it took a lot

of courage to leave the cityand hope to make a living onSalt Spring Island.

Dick Pirillo was a courage-ous man in 1959.

After 15 years in the radiofield in Vancouver, he quitand came to Ganges.

He recalls that the majorityof his advisers looked askanceat him for taking such a step.The" island was no smaller, butthe population was considerablyless. In 1959 a new businesswas assured of very little ex-cept hard work.

Dick applied the hard workand soon round the assurances,that he had been convincedwere here. He made no fortuneon the island, but he has builtup a sound business over theyears, growing with Salt SpringIsland.

Novel feature of the radioand television store on McPhil-ips Ave. is the display of old-time radios and appliances.

lie has radio sets dating backto 1915. The display of old un-its occupies all of one shelf inhis store. Several of the setsare quite familiar to old timeradio fans, with the ebonite

The most distinctive antiqueis the mechanical razor. Theinstrument bears no maker'sname and is operated by aclockwork motor. The user in-stalls a conventional, three-hole blade and presses the but-ton. The blade vibrates and thebeard comes off.

The museum takes up littletime, but the proprietorexplains that business is briskand the introduction of a newpartner into the firm has beenamply justified.

SEQUEL TOSWANSONG OFCONSERVATIVES

Seventeen years ago I wentto a meeting of the ProgressiveConservatives on Saanicn Pen-insula.

The following morning Iwas asked of my views on themeeting. "It was pathetic," Itold my seniors, "I sat in onthe swansong of the Conserva-tive Party in this province."

I was met with derision.Did I not yet know, I wasasked in contempt, that theConservative party was a verypart of Canada?

On Sunday I enjoyed thesequel. I met John de Wolf,the man who has undertaken torecover the lost territory forhis Tories.

There is a moral. I was newto British Columbia and Can-ada. I was without the violent,frequently unthinking, prejud-ices exhibited by so manyenthusiastic politicians. Mycolleagues wore the conven-tional party blinkers in thenewsroom.

You should see my newblinkers today!
