On Saturday the council hearda reply from the department aswell as from the aviation coun-cil of the province. The depart-ment explained that it couldonly make negotiations with dulyelected representatives. Thecouncil explained that it couldhelp in any direction other thanthe granting of funds.

Both agreed that landing stripswould be desirable. There issuch a strip already on Pender Is-land.

TWO GROUPS PRESS FOR RINK

CURLING COMING?Curling is increasing in pop-

ularity on Salt Spring Island.Two separate clubs are planningcurling rinks.

When Salt Spring Island LionsClub discussed its recreationcentre project on Thursday eve-ning last week it was learnedthat the Salt Spring Island Golfand Country Club is also invest-igating the provision of curlingice.

Lions felt that a combined re-creation centre might be ofmore value to the communityand it was agreed to meet withthe Golf Club committee and toexchange views and progress.

Lions introduced the plan ear-lier this year when Fred Rhodesoffered the project as a majortask for the service club.

It was endorsed by the mem-bers and a preliminary discuss-ion with a Victoria engineeringfirm brought about the firstplans for the centre.

The golf club proposal wouldsee curling but no swimmingand no skating, Lions heard.

Lions plan called for thepreparation of plans and the pre-sentation of a vote to SaltSpring property owners. An aff-

irmative vote would provide forthe construction of the centreout of taxes.

Members felt that a centreis urgently needed on the islandfor all ages.

The centre would supplymainly swimming skating andcurling, with other, minor re-creations available.

On Thursday the service clubheard an analysis of the prob-lems of presenting a referen-dum in the Capital RegionalDistrict by the islands' director,Douglas Cavaye.

Mr. Cavaye explained thatthe project must be approved bythe board and by the depart-ment of municipal affairs beforevoters are given a chance tospeak.

THAT AIN'T HAY!Mayne Queen was running

late on Saturday.The inter-islands ferry vess-

!el was delayed when a load oflhay proved baulky.

Truck laden with hay boarded!the vessel and proved too highto fit. It proved also too high toget away. It took 45 minutes tounplug the ferry.

suggested a less sweeping plann-ing proposal. He pointed out thatthe council could better meet representatives of the Captial RegionPlanning Board and discuss thefuture needs of the individual is-lands.

The meeting in SpringwaterLodge at Mayne Island, heard F.W. Kirkham, of Salt Spring Is-land, outline the campaign ag-ainst discharge of sewage into thesea at Trincomali Channel andthe progress in the campaign tochallenge the recent decision ofthe director of pollution controlto allow such discharge.

"Pollution is a problem that isbothering us all," observed chair-man John Rainsford, "What weneed most is to learn about it."

He observed that the islandersseek to restrict a discharge of5,000 gallons into the sea whilethe municipality of Richmondcan discharge five million gall-ons.

Problem of pollution is neith-er a local nor a regional matter.It is provincial and national andeven international, he warned.The discharge of sewage into theFraser River seriously affects thstate of the waters around theGulf Islands.

" I think we are entitled to beheard", Mr. Kirkham told thecouncil, "and I do not think weare being heard."

There is no easy answer andmere is no cheap answer, he con,eluded.

Basic problem in the provinceis the incompatibility of thethree functions concerned withpollution, asserted Mrs. II .G.Scott.

The pollution control branch ,the health department, and theminister are at odds over thematter, she noted.

Robert Hindmarch suggestedthat it was a subject that couldwell be considered by a royalcommission.

John Tisdalle was hostile tothe principle of turning sewageinto the sea.

"I can't accept the thinkingthat we have to use several gall-ons of water as a vehicle for afew ounces of human waste in or-der to dump it on our beaches",he told the meeting.

Meeting will be called in thenear future to discuss the controlof planning as a means of controlling discharges.

FUNDS ARE STILLCOMING IN FORANTI-POLLUTION

Funds for the Salt Spring Is-land Ami-Pollution Society arestill coming in.

Treasurer Mrs. F.W. Kirkhamof Walker Hook, R R 1, Ganges,reports that the fund now standsat $513.

Fund was launched to appealthe recent decision of the Poll-ution Control Branch to allow dis:harge of treated sewage intoIrincomali Channel.

Uproot-ed by the big December blow,it stuck between two other firs,and was tricky to get down.Now an eyesore has gone, andout of evil cometh winter wood.

Mrs. Werner Aellen cameover from Vancouver for a fewdays, bringing Mr. and Mrs.John Roberts and their two little

How come aswamp-lovin g blackbird, onlittle bone-dry Blunden, all rockand scrub? Ornithologist AllanBrooks thinks it got caught upin the flock of starlings thatroosts there. And presumablyit stayed behind til it couldstraighten up and fly right.

At the Pender Fall Fair,Clarice Renaud picked off thefirst prizes for oils and water-colors and a third for pastels.And this weekend the Renaudsbrought Dr. Charles E. Bures,Ph, D. and wife Helen, fromPasadena, who were overjoyedat their first exposure to theGulf Islands. For the past six

Marine applications: In inlandwj terways and along thecoasts, conventional toiletsare limited, barred from use,or soon to be barred by law.There are no such restrictionson use of Destroilets onhouseboats, yachts, fishingboats, work boats.

Mobile applications: Destroi-lets are widely used in traveltrailers, every conceivablewater craft, as well as harborfacilities, decks and marinas.Reasons: no fear of watershortages, freeze ups, pollu-tion; no disagreeable "cleanout" chores; no fear of illegaldumping fines. Also used inmobile homes, field construc-tion offices, mobile class-rooms, railroad cabooses anddiesel locomotives.

Answer to soil problems:Destroilets operate perfect-ly regardless of sub soii.- ciay,poor percolating soils, rock onor below the surface, highwater tables, perma-frost -conditions that make con-en-tional toilet t<?cilities toocostly, highly impractical orimpossible . . . Destroilets areunaffected, work perfectly.

Advanced technology has now result-ed in the development of the newimproved model Destroilet.. .thebest, the only solution to a world-wide problem! Users put nothing in,no water, no chemicals. Thereis no flushing, no emptying,no effluent liquids orsolids, no plumbingof any kind. Still,Destroilet comp-letely does awaywith humanwastes! The onlythree basics: ele-ctricity (HO-115 volt, AChousehold currentor 12 volt DC battery), gas, eitherLP or natural, and ja flue to the out-doors. In simplestterms, Destroiletburns humanwastes to harm-less carbon diox- Iide and water va-pors. This com-bustion, combinedwith Destroilet'sunique design,assures a compl-etely odorless bathroom. Destroilet's self-contained op-eration permits unlimited freedom of application —disregarding soil conditions, climate, water problemsor other traditional restrictions..A toilet that works anywhere — the reason why Dest-roilet is already used throughout North America., .andmany parts of the world.
