FIRST MEETING FOR ISLAND AS

Islands Trust examines Galiano— TRUSTEES HEAR REPORTS OF ISLANDERS' CONCERNS

The Islands Trust met forthe first time on Galiano onThursday, July 17, at the Gal-iano Hall.

TYPICAL SCENE ON THE ISLANDS

Those fish

Can read

No signsFish can't read 1Galiano Rod and Gun Club

is staging the annual fishingderby on Saturday.

That's the date...Saturday,July 26. It's the date whenall the salmon will be outlooking for all the island sal-mon fishermen. According toBill Bamford, the fish got thewrong date and the entry anddraw tickets show a differentdate.

Forget it! The fish willcome out on Saturday so thefishermen will have to.

Weigh-in will be at SturdiesBay from 10 am to 3 pm.

WHOSE

CROW

IS THAT ?It is full-grown and it is

tame.And it's a crow.

Mrs. G. A. McDonald, ofRourke Road, off Beddis Road,Ganges, has found it.

The owner may be lookingfor it.

The crow did not explainwhere he came from.

Picture was shot Sunday at St. Mary Highlands near Ganges.

IT'S A WONDERFUL THING'* * * *

BUT DON'T SCARE THEM BETTER /Education is a very fine

thing. It brings pleasure andreward to those who practiceit and it brings reward tothose who suffer it.

It would be foolish indeedto challenge the worth of theexperience we hold so dear toall of us. Education, formaland finite, is the very rock onwhich our lives are built. Insome instances it may showsigns of crumbling, but we areskilled enough in architecturethat we can still shore up asandy stone.

It was, like all aspects oflife, once very simple.

One read; one wrote; onecalculated.

What more was there? Thatwas in the days before televi-sion, when reading was "in".Latin was, in those days, partof a normal curriculum. It wastaught in order that all studentsmight learn a disciplined formof logical thinking. And logicwas the science which madewise men of fools.

The advance of mankindleft these things in the past.

But the spirit of guidancecontinues through life. Whatfine association of high-mind-ed men can operate withoutthe desire to impart informa-tion? To disseminate knowl-edge of the fine lessons learn-ed through this fine associa-tion?

The pillars of national poli-tics spend hours of every dayand dollars of every donationin educating the people of the

land. As fast as the unfortun-ate Canadian is iaught themerits of a strict adherence tothe right of centre he is warn-ed of the dangers of rightnesswhen a warm leftness awaitshim with so fine a destiny.

Long since away from dieformal education of schooland college, the developingCanadian learns of die fine-ness of this organization andthe value of that. On Sunday:if he attends a church of someclosely ordered service, hemay learn a lesson or two be-fore he leaves his pew.

Education is like a commu-nicable disease. Once wehave it we cannot keep it toourselves. Even tiiat form ofeducation which cautions allof us against die dangers ofvirulent diseases comes fromthe desire to protect others,less well-informed. If everyCanadian were to read everycaution against every diseaseissued by every association inthe land, he would lie abedin the morning fearful of ris-ing; fearful of eating; fearfulof breathing. Every actionwould bring him closer to dis-ease and death. And he does-n't need education to knowthat; he needs merely logic.

Too many educators in dierealm of disease are so con-vinced of the horrors of theparticular disease they abhortiiat tiiey can see no meanstoo harsh to get their message

(Turn To Page Eleven)

It was an open meeting witha good number of Island peo-ple in attendance.

The trustees present wareChairman Hilary Brown, MarcHolmes, Dave Brousson, SteveRiddell and Ron Thompson,with secretary Dave Morrisand Outer Islands DirectorJim Campbell.

During a short introductorysession, Mrs. Brown explainedwhat the Trust has done todate. She asserted that theywere not going to become sea-soned bureaucrats. The Trusthas just completed revisionsof a policy draft and guide-lines for regulations. Mrs.Brown outlined to the peoplethe Trust is in close co-opera-tion with the Nature Conserv-ancy of Canada to safeguardendangered areas. The regul-ar meeting of the Trust thenwent on.

They discussed the islandgarbage dump, the amend-ment of the schedule to in-clude ancillary islands withdie designated islands; the in-vestigation of surface waterpotential, and the status ofnew island Zoning and Subdivision By-laws.

This last item was discus-sed at length with Jim Camp-bell explaining the proposedby-law to modify minimumlot size in a forest zone from10 acres to 20 acres to takecare of die possibility of TreeFarm licenses expiring.

Proceeding with their agen-da, the trustees acted on aZoning By-law Amendment(BambricK's Industrial).

Then they held a discussionon the future of forest landsand stated that after using theCommittee reports of Dr.Gaffney and Dr. Pierce theywould be formulating a policyon this by mid-September.

Next tney discussed stratatitles and other forms of com-pany and co-operative devel-opment. All agreed dial tiieyshould allow a group to devel-op a parcel of land in an im-aginative way.

The question of campsitesand parks was brought up, withMrs. Brown showering praiseon Galiano's facilities. Mr.Brousson said that he wouldlike to see an integrated syst-em throughout die islands,with adequate supervision andcontrol, and a system of in-formation for campers whencampsites are full.

Finally, foreshore and beadaccess roads were discussed.

Mr. Holmes suggested that, islanders swap, sett and con-' solidate beach accesses.

Under other business, theidea of die inclusion of ancil-lary islands with the designat-ed island was formalized in amotion bringing all islands in-to the trustees* area.

Local planning was furtherdiscussed, and Mr. Holmes sta-ted that Zoning and Subdivi-sion by-laws should be done inconcert. The need for imp-rovement in foot passengertransportation by B. C. Ferrieswas considered in light of theincreasing difficulties in auto-mobile transportation.

The meeting was then open-

ed for discussion from thefloor. Questions included ref-erence to water storage, theIslands Trust Policy and wheth-er there would be input fromthe people; projected popula-tion density, protection offlora from day trippers and,last of all, a discussion on theenormous increase in die number of day visitors to MontaguePark.

George Hacking stated thatfrom 200 last year, this yearit is 1, 500 to date.

It was felt that the Commu-nity Plan restricts the numberof property owners, and thatthe Islands Trust must; in itsrole of preserver and protectorof die islands, find some wayof easing this problem.

THAT SHAKE

WAS NOT

THE SAMEThere was an earth tremor

one day in Seattle. It was inthe evening of the day and theUnited States city trembled.

Reports of the same tremorextending to Salt Spring Isl-and were false.

At approximately the sametime as Seattle residentsshook in their shoes, two SaltSpring Island men were work-ing on a stump. It was get-ting late, but everything wasready to go and they fired theshot.

Bruce Barnes and LarryQuesnel were chuckling toread of the echo of the earth-quake. They knew they weredie echo.

and very promising. It numb-ers 350 members already.

The island has rallied to thesupport of its own branch, commented Somerville.

A few islanders were mem-bers of the Duncan and Dist-rict Credit Union for severalyears, mostly at the Croftonbranch. The opening of anisland branch in the ValcourtBusiness Centre has given theorganization a shot in the armon this island.

Although the island memb-ers have no representation onthe board of directors, thismay be changed in March.Annual meeting of the CreditUnion takes place in Duncan,usually towards the end ofMarch.

At that meeting the variousdirectors and responsible mem1

bers are named. It is the cus-tom of the organization tohave a member from each ar-ea served by the Credit Union.It is expected that some pers-onnel will be named from theisland next spring.

In the mean time only re-presentation is that of the newmanager here. He is, as heexplained, a member of thebranch as well as its manager.

Bill Somerville was in Win-nipeg when he enlisted in thevolunteer reserve of the RoyalCanadian Navy. That was in1939. The new recruit to thesignals branch came by his en-thusiasm for the navy honestlyHe had already seived a stintin the Navy Cadets.

Overseas he learned his newtrade and the way of the navyin action. And he enjoyedthe lesson. When he returnedto Canada he was serving inthe rank of Warrant Officer.

It was a natural that a manwho had started out as a NavyCadet would invite other boysto enjoy the same experience.He did. From the lowest rankin the administration of aNavy Cadet unit he becameCommanding Officer.

This link with the navy wasa link with the west coast.Most years Bill Somervillewould don his uniform andcome out to Comox, on Van-couver Island. The navy had

to be frank

By Richards

It was a meeting of elderlygentlemen. I sneaked in whilenobody noticed. And when aprinted item was passed arouncout came many pairs of glass-es. I remarked on the time Iwas burning brush when I thra\weeds, fork and a pair of;lasses into tiie flames. I losteeds and glasses.Not to be outdone another

^newspaper publisher recalledthe day he bent down to movea board from the path of hislawnmower when his glassesfell out of his pocket, hit theoffending piece of wood andbounced into the rotary mach-ine's <grassworks.' He couldn'teven find the frames.

A second publisher thoughtback to the time he was bring-ing in hay last year. He oper-ates a farm to augment his in-come. He lost his glasseswhile pitching hay. No am-ount of searching could bringthem to light.

Earlier this year he hadbeen called at his office tolearn that the glasses hadshown up when the hay wascarted away.

An oil magnate had thelast word. He was out in thesticks where water closets wereunknown, he explained.While using the machinewhich consists of a hole in aplank and some offensive od-our, he flicked his glasses outof his pocket and straightdown the hole.

It was a unit built for longservice and the hole was deep.Too deep to reach down intothe noxious depths to retrievethe now-offensive glasses.

He was a man ofresourceand he found two long sticksoutside. Very carefully helifted his glasses to the top.The sticks would not permithim to get the glasses clear ofthe hole, but he needed twohands t o hold them with thosesticks.

He made one desperatelunge for the glasses as theydisappeared into the depths.

He bought a new pair,while muttering prayers ofthankfulness for modernplumbing.

He nowowns land on Mayne Island,but he still hankers for the lar-ger island. John Windsor isthe author of Blind Date, thestory of his getting blown upin Italy and the long years oflearning to live without sight.It was a jolt to realize that Ihave enjoyed his acquaintancefor half my lifetime.

To end the paradeof problems, she had had thestove a twelvemonth when sheheard ominous noises from theengine room.

There had been too manypeople travelling on the Sech-elt Queen. At the week endthe ship was without apple pieand sugar was so scarce it wasnot available away from thefountainhead.

longer an island vessel, exclu-sively. An increasing numberof Vancouver Island travellershave discovered that if theymake a reservation on the Se-

' chelt Queen at a week end,they can drive out to Tsawwa&sen at their leisure, pass allthe line-ups for Victoria, takethe Sechelt Queen to LongHarbour and sail out of SaltSpring Island on the Vesuviusor the Bowen Queen, accord-ing to their destination onVancouver Island. They canbe home warming their toeson a Victoria beach beforetheir contemporaries have ev-en left the Tsawwassen wharf.

ferries. The 7 pm ferry hadsailed to Fulford and the nexttwo hours were too short tomerit going very far fromSwartz Bay Terminal. I walk-ed slowly through the car parkThere is no other way of walk-ing. The roads are for fastcars only. An elderly man waswalking in the opposite direc-tion, busy thinking and readyto erupt into wisdom. "Wespend so much time on ourboats and our cars and ourhomes." he commented, "and

so little time on our bodies.The doctor says I'm going tolive a long time, but I won't

I only heard part of thestorjr when two people weretalking and I was snooping. Itseems that when the highwaysdepartment engaged a con-tractor for work on one of theislands,, the department baulk'ed at paying for the cost oftransporting his truck, so hehad to hire a barge to carryover his tools. While he was alittle incensed at the illogicality of government economiesthe department plane flew ovser the job in order that thesupervisor could check it out.

THE OTHER WAY ROUND

Minister of education has warned community col-leges that costs may not rise. The colleges facingincreased costs must pare down the pattern of theircourses.

This is a new thinking from the provincial govern-ment. While all governments tend to use money asif it had no limits, the present provincial govern-ment has made a practice of approving very liberalpay hikes. The provincial picture of labour unrestis not entirely unrelated to the government's poli-cies.

The announcement that courses are to be chopped

is interesting. It infers that some courses offeredare only of value when we are riding the crest ofthe wave.

The announcement also holds the threat of exten-sion. If courses are to be chopped from collegeschedules, will the same policy be extended to theschools of the province?

Private businesses are not always more efficientthan governments. Not always, but very often, aprivate business is infinitely more efficient.

A community college operated as a private busi-ness would be required to offer the best it couldwithin the limitations of the funds available. Itwould not be able to establish its income accordingto its needs. Rather the reverse: it would contourits offerings to the available funds „

Maybe this is what the minister is saying?

TWO ISLANDERS REACH THE TOP

Last week saw two Salt Spring Islanders named

for two widely-disparate sports.On the water Mike Cannon has displayed his

skill for the past several years. Son of Mr» andMrs. W. R. Cannon, of North Salt Spring, he hastaken island prizes galore. Last year young Mikewas named national champion in h is field of sabotsailing.

When the sailing races were staged at NicolaLake earlier this month he sailed ahead to takethe provincial title.

While it is fitting that an island resident shouldshine in the handling of his small craft, the accomplishment is certainly not diminished by the famili-arity of an islander with the water.

This is a very small part of British Columbia andislanders may take pride in the skill which hasgained their youthful neighbour his top honours.

On land, another Salt Spring Island resident,Mr. Don Irwin has staked his claim to a sportingdistinction.

Racing against riders many years his junior, theGanges motorcyclist won the provincial champ-ionship in the Old Timers' class.

To many islanders, Don Irwin is a Salt Springmot across exponent. To many British Columbians,Salt Spring is the place where Don Irwin comesfrom. It depends which way you look, but eitherway, his success is a tribute to his skill and his ab-i lity to take up a sport in his thirties, rather thanin his teens and then forge ahead to win.

I'M IN AND ITS LIKE JELLING OF TASTESBY BRENDA ANDHRSON

I was outside - now I'm in.... To what?

Before I tell you what it is- I'll tell you what it's not.It's not "like" anything. It'snot a religion; it s not a "hip-pe" movement; it's not self-hypnosis; it's not even some-thing you have to believe in,or worl< at. You don't giveit a "try", you give it a "go".

Transcendental meditationis a subject I'd been interestedin, mainly because of com-ments I'd heard from peoplewho were into it. Althoughskeptical, I decided to "giveit a go" and discover it first-hand. The first lecture I at-.tended had attracted a variedgroup, ranging in age from 16to GO.

Age makes no difference inwhat T. M. has to offer. Nordo the diverse personal reason;that bring such a group togeth-er. "Bringing together" is agood term to begin to explain,That was the atmospherewhich surrounded our first realsession.

Perhaps it was the subtlepower of suggestion, of ideaswe'd been introduced to acouple nights before, but theday was somehow vibrant withpeacefulness, yet laced witha kind of excited anticipation,It was a good way to start off.Personally, it was that gener-al feeling that surrounded themeetings that impressed memore than all the scientificfacts we were bombarded witha) though, they are very inter-esting, and reassuring in away when a person is just be-ginning.

It all sounds very deep andcomplicated via the explana-tion of the effects it has on aperson's mind and bodyc butdon't be misled.

The simplicity is the beautyof it. The whole experienceis a refreshing break from thecomplex murnbo-jumbo oneruns into from day to day; andyou take it with you from dayto day. No matter what youdo, or where you go it fits aseasily into your life as eatingor sleeping. And, being pure-ly objective, I can only seewhere a person could gainfrom the whole thing.

If there seemed to be"strings" attached or some-thing amiss, I'm sure it wouldnot have the popularity it has;

and if as many skeptics as metry it and are convenced of itspure sLnple intentions,whatmore can I say?

The group is a non-profiteducational organization, andcharge a fee to cover the vari-ous expenses. Centres are setup in all major cities, and of-fer the use of equipment fortapes,, video and films, Num-erous pamphlets and bookshave been printed and distri-buted. Scientific experimentshave been carried out concern-ing the physiological effects

of T. M.It's hard to explain some-

thing so basic - and I must usean example that was given tous... How can you describethe taste of a strawberry, anddo it jus'dee, when you havethe fruit in your hand, and itis so easy to reach out and say" Taste it. " The basic thingis to learn to eat, and thatcomes as easy to our bodies,as naturally as the techniqueof meditation comes to themind.

On & Off The IslandMr. and Mrs. J. Holland of

Trincomali Heights, have vis-itors from Holland. Here forthree weeks is a school friendof Mrs. Holland's, Dr. A. Bol-sins, and her sister, sister-in-law and niece.

Airs. Gwen Forbes, of Pion-eer Village, has returned froma three-week trip to England.Her daughter, Man' William-son, of North l-nd ftoad, hashad a visitor from England.Tommy McGowan, a colleagueof Mrs.' Williamson, recentlyspent some time here. He is'apianist. Also visiting from Metchosin, is Jean Anderson.

Mrs. Arthur Jobin, of Vesuv-ius Bay Road, has her grand-daughters Kathy Kerr fromVancouver, staying for twoweeks.

Here from Red Deer, Albertais the Boukal family, visitingthe li. II. Anderson's of Mali-view. Also from Sylvan Lake,Alta, are the Maga s, for ashort stay in the area.

Lt. -Col. D. G. Crofton andhis wife entertained a large

group of friends at their homeon Lower Ganges Road. Hereon Saturday were 62 membersof the Scottish regiment. Thesergeants and their wives spentan enjoyable day with the pipeband in attendance. The seni-or members were R. S. M. E0Rogers and his wife, Mrs. Rog-ers. Also present was the regi-mental mascot, Wallace, a St,Bernard.

Mrs. W. R. Bacon and Mrs.Fo E. Olsson of Fulford spentthree days at Wickaninish Innon the west coast of VancouveiIsland, and bathed in thePacific.

It's a prickly business. Andmany people are willing togive it a try. Hence, Dr.Harold Saita has his hands fullof needles and his office fullof patients at Ganges.

Acupuncture is a relativelynew concept in the westernworld. Indeed, Dr. Saita isfee only recognized doctorpracticing the method, in allof Canada. And he is in Gan-ges for at least two months.

The visiting doctor has beenpuncturing patients for 60 ofhis 75 years. He was born inCanada, but it all began whenbis widowed mother sent himto Japan to be raised in a med1

ical home.As he went through his

schooling, it was natural thatthis background of medicinewould affect his life. Andfeat it did. While finishinghigh school, he became invol-ved wife three apprentices ofacupuncture.

His main concerns at thattime were his own physicalproblems, and how he couldlearn to alleviate them. Heended up writing the two ex-aminations, and entering fee

AN ANCIENT HEALINGWhy will the insertion of a needle into living tissue of the

body bring about a change in another part of the body?Acupuncture has been practiced for thousands of years intile Orient.

The needle stimulates a nerve and the message is convey-ed through the nerve fibres to a distant organ.

A scientific study of acupuncture is being undertaken to-day in many lands. Dr. Harold Saita is the only qualifieddoctor in Canada to be qualified in acupuncture.

When Irene Hawksworth published an advertisement inDriftwood recently inviting islanders interested in acupunt-ure to call her, she encountered more than 100 replies.

Dr. Saita came to the island to offer help. He also cameto show other doctors how the treatment is applied.

If nothing else is clear, mere can be no question but thatacupuncture relieves pain. The doctor explained that abruise is painful because of the tension of the surrounding tis-sues. If that tension is relieved by acupuncture, the pain iseliminated.

To get a first-hand look at acupuncture, Driftwood report-er Brenda Anderson talked with the doctor and experiencedthe treatment.

This is her story.

or ailments in the gallbladder,a needle may be inserted inthe fourth toe. An electriccurrent runs briefly, and thenerve fibre which runs itscourse to the site of pain,brings relief.

Or a needle inserted in theelbow, may help the large in-testine; in the shoulder, easestension by means of stimula-tion.

Acupuncture may be usedfor diagnosis of ailments,through a delicate electronicstethoscope, which registerson a meter. Incidentally, be-fore all this modern equip-ment came into being, doctocof acupuncture made good useof their skilled hands and sens-itive fingers. This system ofhealing cannot help suchthings as chronic diabetes,where no secretion exists. Butit will help such sicknesses asasthma, said Dr. Saita bytracing the cause to an under-active organ and providingthe necessary stimulation. Ithas been found helpful in les-sening pains of terminal ill-nesses, or permanent injuries.It is also beneficial in thefact that patients can cutdown drug intake. The need-les which are inserted cause

no uncomfortable sensations,being so fine that they do notcut the tissue.

Dr. Saita's main purpose inGanges is to offer some train-ing to interested doctors. An-other reason, he had in theback of his mind, he toldDriftwood, was a holiday, but... d edication rules. Hishome is in Richmond, but ad-equate office facilities werein short supply. He surmiseshis stay here will likely ex-tend to September. At thepresent, he is practicing fromthe Gulf Clinic.

Rare Kodakcamerain useThe early Kodak post card

camera is no rarity. Many isl-anders still have such a cam-era around, although few canafford the cost of film and pro*cessing.

No other islander has theapparatus owned by Alex Sned-don, of Beddis Road.

It is a Kodak post card cam-era with a range-finder. Thefinder is like no other.

The photographer lines uphis picture in the view-finder..He then turns the camera side-ways and looks into a verysmall minor at the base of thelens board. By adjusting diedistance between the lens andthe camera body, along thefocussing scale, the mirrorworks exactly as a modernsplit-image finder.

The camera without a rangefinder was worth about $80 inthe early 1920's, says the own-er. He worked in a Scottishdrug store in those years, andsola cameras of the pattern.He has no idea of the value,new, of the model.

As befits an ancient relic,the camera is now equippedwith an outdated film whichlay in a Driftwood cupboardfor many years. Alex plans toput the two together and seewhat results he can come upwith on his half-century oldapparatus.

Sneddon is no newcomer tophotography. Among his vari-ous cameras, he also boasts avery fine Contax with a vari-ety of attachments. He doeshis own processing of blackand white.

A sad aftermath of the firewas the fact that when JimMoney went to get a FireTruck ready if needed hefound that some one had notonly helped themselves to thegas in the trucks but had alsostolen the truck keys.

THE ENERGYWASTE WATCHER

This column will look at pain-less ways of cutting down yourfuel and electricity bills athome. Have any suggestions?Send them along to the EnergyWaste Watcher at InformationEMR, 588 Booth Street, OttawaK1A OE4.

Nowadays just about everygarden maintenance projecthas a power tool for the job.Power lawnmowers, rototil-lers, grass trimmers, hedgeclippers and so on. What everhappened to the push lawn-mover, garden fork andmanual clippers? With theenergy problem and ourchronic lack of physical exer-cise, they may be due for acomeback.

But back to those powertools. Although each one ofthem consumes energy, awell-maintained machine willdo a better job and conservefuel at the same time.

Now that the grass is green,it's tune-up time for mowersand rototillers. Spark plugsshould be cleaned, checked,and replaced, if necessary.You should adjust the carbu-retor and make sure thechoke is working well. Ifnecessary, replace the trans-mission oil. The owner'smanuals should help youhandle engine kinks yourself.

When running a gas-poweredmower, keep the engine speedas low as possible. Regulatethe motor by opening thethrottle gradually till youhave the power you need. Bythe way, you should avoidleaving the machine idlingfor longer periods. It's wear-ing on the motor, wastefulof fuel, and a hazard tosmall children and pets ifleft unattended.

Electric lawnmowers need anoccasional oiling to keepthem running smoothly. Theowner's manual will tell youwhere to oil and what kindto use. Don't forget to keepthe motor clean of grassclippings. Check under thehood—a grass-clogged motorcould overwork itself andeventually burn out. Thecord should also be checked

So, it's back to bed in themorning and keep those germsoutside!

I hail from a family ofteachers. And when they arenot talking shop they are likeordinary people. But there isa difference between the class-room teacher and the outsidedrive for educating the masses^

There is still no talk of be-coming an educator. There is

no unfortunate student gaspingto qualify as an educator.

AFTER NEARLY 20 YEARS OF OPERATION MAKING BUILDING MATERIALS

LAST MAJOR ISLANDS INDUSTRY CLOSES AT SATURNAShale plant at Saturna, fin-

ally shut down for good, is tobe offered for sale for the pro-perty it covers. Looking back

over nearly 20 years, the gen-eral manager C. P. Hase hasprepared a summary of hiscompany's history.

THEY WILLGOTOSIDNEY

There will be some Fenderstudents attending school atSidney in the fall.

Trustee Don Fairweathertold his fellow trustees that thePender movement will besouthward when the board wasconsidering the fees chargedby Saanich for island students.

Number of Pender familieshave asked for assistance insending students to Sidney be-cause the ferry runs directlyto Swam Bay and the schedulemeets with the needs of thestudents.

Students attending schoolthere will arrive slightly latefor classes, observed Chair-man Charles Baltzer, later.

The Saanich School Districtare asking for a fee, despitethe fact that the Saanichschools are short of students,commented Fairweather.

The district is overcrowdedin the north-west, explainedAnn Foerster. Mrs. Foersterwas a trustee in Saanich be-fore coming to the islands toserve as an islands schooltrustee.

THIS IS PART OF THE SCENE ON SATURDAY WHEN THE ANGLICAN

:HURCH GARDEN FETE WAS STAGED IN THE HIGH SCHOOL GROUNDS

; ,

In 1957, a group of Van-couver businessmen, headedby Philip D. Graham, becameinterested in the growing useof lightweight concrete in theNorth American constructionscene.

Lightweight concrete, apartfrom its obvious engineeringadvantages related to reduc-tion of deadweight, also pos-sessed enhanced thermal andacoustical properties and wassuitable for a large number ofunique and pleasing architect-ural finishes. The prime com«ponent of this material was astructurally sound lightweightaggregate used in substitutionfor natural sand and gravel ag-gregates. No facilities thenexisted for the production of astructural lightweight aggreg-ate in British Columbia.

Exploration for a shale ofsuitable properties was under-taken on behalf of the groupby Charles Maddin, of Van-couver, who traced a band ofpromising material from PortAlberni on Vancouver Island,through the Gulf Islands andterminating at Saturna Island.

A detailed study of the de-posit was carried out by HenryL. Hill and Associates, a Van-couver-based firm of miningconsultants. Exhaustive lab-oratory and full scale testingof the shale was carried out byB. C. Research Council underthe direction of Dr. B. H.Levelton and under contractby Basalt Rock Co. Inc. ofNapa, California.

PLANT

STORYssesssssssssses

This testing proved the Sat-urna Island shale to be capableof producing one of the finestlightweight aggregates inNorth America.

British Columbia Light-weight Aggregates Ltd. was in-corporated on January 13, 1957,with Philip D. Graham as pres-ident, George McKeen as vicepresident and Fred B. Brownand Arthur B. Christopher asdirectors.

The company acquired 345acres of the north-western por-tion of Saturna Island as thesite for its shale quarry andlightweight aggregate manu-facturing plant. The propertyconsisted of the NW quarter-Section 17 and Fractional Sec-tion 19 - a crown grant of 1882to William Elford; NE quarter-Section 18 - a crown grant of1900 to Gilbert Hamilton Ain-slie; and Fractional Section20 - a crown grant of 1893 toJohn P. and Tneophilus Elford,

The company also held op-tion on a further 41 acres atBoot Bay which was never ex-ercised.

The West half of NW quart-er-Section 17 was later purch-ased from Alberta LumberHoldings, bringing the totalholdings to 425 ac res, estim-ated to contain in excess of20 million cubic yards ofshale.

A contract was entered intowith Basalt Rock Co., itself alightweight aggregate produc-er, to prepare layout plansfor the Saturna Island plant.Basalt's contract also calledfor the provision of technicalassistance during plant start-up.

The Vancouver firm of Hill,Stark avnd Associates preparedthe detailed engineering draw-ings. Although plans were fora three kiln operation, the in-itial construction called foronly one kiln installation andthis was purchased in the Unit-ed States, in Pittsburg, andshipped by rail on a total offive flat-cars.

Preliminary land clearingwas started at the site in Oct-ober, 1958, and preparationsmade for the establishment ofa campsite to house the con-struction crews. ChristopherJukes joined the company asgeneral manager at this time,and became vice-president inJuly, 1960.

He, in turn, recruited Fred-erick (Ben) Begon to act asconstruction superintendent,Construction began in earnestin February, 1959, with awork crew of up to 60 men in-cluding Parker Joudrey fromNanaimo, who was on the siteeven before the arrival of theclearing crews.

Despite the multitude of lo-gistic problems associated withmajor construction at a remotelocation, the work was essen-tially completed in Septemberof 1959, and first productionachieved a month later., In the early years the prod-uct, trademarked "Saturnalite"received cautious but growingacceptance by engineers andarchitects, with the result thatby 1968 the capacity of singlekiln operation had been reach-ed. Major use of Saturnalitewas in large hi-rise buildings,and for that reason growth wasspasmodic and sales were ex-tremely sensitive to the healthof the construction and trans-portation industries.

Feast-or-famine conditionsoccurred with considerableregularity, and at one pointthe company had to resort toselective logging of its prop-erty to maintain employmentfor key personnel.

In 1965, Holdfast NaturalResources Ltd., a companyproducing a ground, calcinedshale pozzolan at Welbury Bayon Salt Spring Island, closeddown its operation due to acombination of low marketsand high transportation costs.

The Saturna-based companyacquired the physical assetsof Holdfast Natural Resourcesand moved the ball mill toSurrey, B. C. where it manu-factured Holdfast Pozzolan us-ing Saturna Island shale. Itwas during this period that Al-lan Bayne, P. Eng. assumedthe general managership ofthe company, and remainedin that position until January,1969.

In view of the exceptionalsales of 1968, which saw cust-omers being turned away dueto lack of production capacity,the directors decided to ex-pand the production facilitiesby the addition of a secondkiln.

Charles Hase, P. Eng., washired to undertake this projectand act in the capacity ofgeneral manager.

Many couples are requestingtubal ligation (for the woman),or vasectomy (for the man), 'tocontrol conception. Both arevery effective, with a negli-gible failure rate.

The surgery involved is rela-tively simple, and complica-tions are few. Vasectomy isthe more minor procedure, andis done as a "day-care" case inhospital, or sometimes in thedoctor's office. Tubal ligationusually requires a day or two inhospital, but some techniquesallow them to be done on anoutpatient basis. There is con-siderable variation dependingon local facilities and surgeorispreferences.

Although your doctor can ad-vise you, the final decision tobe s:erilized or not must beyour own. It can be a diffi-cult one. Among factors to beconsidered are family size,age of the parents, stability ofthe marriage, and willingnessof one of the partners to havethe operation.

It is most important to real-ize that the operation is meantto be permanent, and no oneshould have it done with thethought that he or she can be"unsterilized" at a later date.Techniques are available to"undo" the sterilization, butthese are very difficult, fre-quently (perhaps usually) un-successful, and seldom attemp-ted.

There is little to choose be-tween the two operations.Tubal ligation is effectiveimmediately, while it require;about two months for the man%"sperm-bank" to empty, andone or two sperm analysesmust be done to ensure that heis indeed sterile. Neither op-eration decreases sexual enjoy-

LANGUAGE AND THE WAYSIDE CHAPEL(FROM LIONS GATE TIMES)

In making plans to visitSwitzerland, a very properEnglish lady wrote to a smallhotel for a room. She requested that she wished her roomas close as possible to a"W. C. ". (water closet toilet)The inn keeper took the let-ter to the parish priest for hdpin the interpretation of "W.C." After a little cogitationthe man of God said: "I knowshe means our Wayside Chap-el!" Pleased, the innkeeperhastened to write the lady:

It is located onlythree miles from the hotel ina beautiful grove of pine treeswhich gives one a feeling ofserenity to the visitors. Wewill be most pleased to arrargetransportation for you duringyour stay with us. It may sur-prise you to know that our W.C. holds over 210 people at asitting and for the convenienceof tourists it is open on Thurs-days as well as Saturdays. It isa good idea to go as early as

possible in order to get a goodseat as sometimes standingroom only is available whichis especially hard on some ofthe older ladies. On Sundaysa goodly number of peopletake picnic lunches and makea day of it while others take abus or a horse carriage andusually arrive only just ontime. I would strongly recom-mend, Madam, arrange to goon Thursday evenings whenthere are no regular servicesbut there is organ accompani-ment. Although the "W.C. "dates back to the 12th centur%the acoustics are excellent ark

even the most delicate soundmay be heard in the halls andrafters. It may also interestyou to know that our eldestdaughter first met her futurehusband, who was a hotelguest, in the W. C. and theywere later married there. Wealso are very proud of our un-usual bell, donated by a weal-thy visitor, which rings everytime someone makes a largeoffering. Unfortunately mywife has a rather delicate con-dition and so she has not beenable to attend regularly. As amatter of fact, it is almost ayear now since she last went.

Naturally, it pains her verymuch not to be able to gomore often, as you can imag-ine. In conclusion, we hopeyour stay with us will be mostnappy. So please let meknow if you wish a specialseat reserved for you for theseason at the "W. C. " but itwill ensure you of an upholst-ered seat, we also suggestyou bring your camera andlight meter as the eveningceremony in the "W. C. " isvery colorful and it is a beau-tiful sight to see the lightplaying on the fountains. In-deed, some come with cheer- some with charity - somewith faith - but all leave sat-isfied". Your obedient serv-ant, The Innkeeper.

Lil will be here for a shortwhile. Happy to meet, sorryto part, happy to meet again,to Don! „ „ «

Ye good old reliable PostOffice has let me down againand last week's news never gotin in time. This week's isbeing taken over to Salt Sprtigby mischievous Marg Fry onSunday so maybe it can get inin time this week.

Bill and Irene Lawson havewonderful relatives. Bill'sbrother Bud and wife Doreenwith son David spent a weekof their holidays here. Theyspent most of their holidayhelping renovate the Store.Doreen painted and Bud didsome real classy carpentrywork. Now that is real relat-ives for you.

Last week the Saturna OFYgroup held a recycle meetingin the hall. Films and slideswere shown by the Victoria Recycling Centre who have beenestablished for four years asthe centre for the Capital Re-gional District. Visitors werefrom Salt Spring and Mayne.The film and slides dealtwith household waste used asa resource for industry. Waysof making people aware ofhow they can help their com-munity combat the ever-in-creasing growth of unsightlyand unsanitary conditions ofthe garbage disposal areaswere discussed. So that theywill no longer be called"Dumps".

Stella Coutts of Bonny BankRoad had daughter Randry witiher husband Craig Robinsonover helping her fix up hercottage here they also had asguests Brent Robinson, MargBenson, and Janice and ElliceBoon. Hope you got a lot ofwork out of all those guests,Stella!

Emily Close has been attheir cottage all week and hacas guests Emily's mother Kath1

leen Orton and Isa, Sharonand Al Powle.

The sad news is not too bad.Uncle Art Ralph was persuadedat last to go into Lady Mintofor a complete check overwhich is wonderful as we thinkthat with a good overhall andtune-up he will be good for another 90 years. At any rate hewill have a chance to see howwonderful Lady Minto issince his days as a trustee.

On Saturday night, July 19,a wonderful crowd turned outat our hall to give Trudy andJohnny Bentum a farewell par-ty before they depart for theIOF Haven in Orlando Florida.The turnout for this party wasa measure of the esteem inwhich all those who knew Tru-dy and John held them andwish them all the .good luckSaturna enjoys in their retire-ment.

Laura and Em Coombs havebeen doing their best to spoilgrandson Richard Bertram thislast week. Richard surethrives on it all.

Irene and George Bodor wil. ̂Eva and Stevie have beenhere at their cottage for aholiday. They are quite afamily. George hunts deerwith a bow and arrow and al--^ways seems to get one; sonStevie goes around the islandon a unicycle and this yearGeorge turns up at our beachin kayak and he fishes from itand travels all over with it.

Our editor, Frank Richards,said last week that his oldSunbeam Razor travelled over19 miles of shaves. Well,that should go in Guiness Bookof Records as about the "long-est face" we have ever heardof!

FROM ONE THING TO ANOTHERWhen Mary Williamson, of

Central, found a reference inthe London Times to suicideamong Japanese students, shewas so impressed with the re-port that she clipped it andsent it to Driftwood with thethought that it would cautionBritish Columbia parents ag-ainst adopting an educationalsystem resembling that of Jap-an.

The report listed incidentsin Japan where students hadended their lives because theywere experiencing problemsat school.

Almost simultaneously

came a report from Victoria'sDr. Philip Ney of the alarmirgincidence of suicides and at-tempted suicides among chil-dren in British Columbia. Thereport of the alienist was pub-lished in the Victoria, of Vic-toria.

In this part of the world,explained the doctor, theproblem with children is un-related to education. Themain source of concern lieswith children of single parentsand children of parents experi-encing financial difficulties,reported the Victoria newspap-er.

/TfS JUST

A PAIN IN

THE NECKWhiplashes, despite all that

kidding about exaggerated le-gal claims, are no joke.

Discomfort from this type ofautomobile injury can be sev-ere and long lasting enough torattle your nerves as well asresult in sore neck and backmuscles.

When you are riding in thefront seat of a car witn an ad-justable head restraint, theBritish Columbia AutomobileAssociation urges you to makecertain it is positioned proper-ly.

The device, says BCAA, wasspecifically designed to prev-ent whiplashes by absorbingthe shock of a rear-end colli-sion and keeping the head andneck from snapping backwardover the seat top.

But in order to perform thisfunction, BCAA points outmat head restraints must beadjusted so they are high en-ough to make contact with theback of your head -- not withthe base of your skull.

In the event of even a minorrear-end collision, failure tomake this correct adjustmentcould cause serious injury, es-pecially to an older person.

Studies of head restraint useconducted during the past fiveyears, according to the motor-ing organization, show thatthe devices were improperlypositioned on 70 to 85 per centof the cars equipped with themMost were left in the "down"position.

BCAA says that if your carhas a fixed head restraintthere's no problem, since thistype of device is designed toaccommodate the vast major-ity of car occupants. Extreme'ly tall individuals are the onlyexception.

SHALE PLANT AT SATURNA IS NO MORE(From Page Thirteen)

The expansion was accom-plished utilizing the kiln andother components of the SaltSpring Island pozzolan plantand included the provision ofa $30,000 dry dust collectingsystem which proved so sue -cessful that a similar unit wasretrofitted to the original kiln.First product of the secondkiln was delivered in July 1970and the plant capacity was uprated from 90,000 to 150, 000cubic yards per. year.

The company experiencedits best 12 months in the peri-od ending April, 1972, whena total or 117,000 cubic yardswas produced and sold.

On conclusion of the 1972construction industry and towboat strike, sales tailed to re-bound as anticipated, and ablow to balanced productionwas experienced when themajor local area block manu-facturers opted to cut thequality and cost of their prod-ucts by changing to pumiceimported from U. S. A.

Declining markets due tolack of support by majorready-mix purveyors and rapidly rising fuel and labour costs,which together representednearly 90*70 of production costs,in a climate of increasing re-source taxation and costly en-vironmental pressures causedthe inevitable conclusion tobe reached. The directors,with considerable regret^ an-nounced their decision to ter-minate the operation. The
