INDUSTRIAL ARTS

•Noiseto bechecked

— CALL BOARD

Workmen's CompensationBoard is to be called in tocheck a Ganges school.

Last week trustees of thedistrict heard reports that ittested out at 117 decibelswhen dust extraction equipment and other machinerywere running at normal speedsin the industrial arts room.

The noise has been thesubject of complaints since itwas installed.

"Exposure to continuousnoise leads to hearing impair-ment", warned Dr. E.R.Dixon, "It is a bad environ-ment for teachers."

Students are in the roomfor only part of the time.Teachers are there all day.When Dr. Dixon suggestedthat the compensation boardbe asked to check it out,Secretary treasurer Wilf Peckinterposed a caution.

"It could result in thecondemnation of the facility,"That would leave them wideopen to legal action, comm-ented Dixon.

If there is any suggestionthat the conditions could meritthe closing down of the room,then the board must takeaction immediately, statedacting-chairman ClareMcAllister.

Sewage seepage has notbeen blamed for any of theoutbreaks of infectious hepa-titis investigated on Salt SpringIsland recently.

Dr. E. R. Dixon told a plan-ning meeting last week matthe cases investigated had

PICKETS PACE GANGES SIDEWALKThree pickets paced the

sidewalk on Rainbow Road inGanges on Tuesday morning, •protesting the use of thehealth office by a publichealth nurse.

It was a brief picket. Threearrived on the morning ferryand three left at midday.

All three were members ofthe Canadian Union of PublicEmployees.

Bob Bradbury, picket capt-ain from Saamch, explainedthat they were locked out bythe Capital Regional District.The Registered Nurses' Associ-ation had undertaken to honor

their picket lines and theywere drawn up to prevent theuse of the health office for achild welfare clinic.

Essential health servicescould be offered from anotherbuilding, said Bradbury.

When a Driftwood reporterasked Public Health InspectorBob Stickland whether he wasaiming to withhold essentialservices from the community,he pointed out that emergen-cy services were still operatingand mat his being locked outwas placing water quality injeopardy for lack of inspection,

CHAMBER LAUNCHES TALKS

DISTRICTS EXPLORE AMALGAMATIONAmalgamation of all water

districts on Salt Spring Islandwas considered by the SaltSpring Island Chamber of Com-merce and spokesmen for thevarious districts on Mondayevening.

The preliminary discussionresulted in an agreement tocontinue the discussions incompany with a spokesman forsome regional district whichhas already undertaken such aproject.

In attendance was RegionalDirector George Heinekey, whcexplained that the Capital Re-gional District would be pre-pared to take over water dist-ricts on the island providedthat all water distribution ser-vices were included.

Mr. Heinekey went further.He explained mat the distri-bution of water on the islandwould be incorporated into the

WHAT WAS THE CAUSE ?Two islanders report an un- v

usual incident which they feelmay be linked with watchingtelevision.

Both were watching, whileothers in the house movedfrom one room to another.

The two had stayed with itand watched television longer.Bom. complained of a sharp

tingling sensation all over thebody, accompanied by an en-nervating effect.

They didn't know what thesensation was or what causedit. The other two watchers,who had moved through thehouse and watched only inter-mittently, reported no suchexperience.

He did not see any possibiltty of properties outside a wat-er district being taxed for wat-er service, almough thiswould have to be more clear-ly delineated by a district fin-ancial administrator.

Meeting had been arrangedby Gerry Haarbrucker, of theChamber's executive.

Water supply on the islandis everybody s concern, saidMr. Haarbrucker. Some aredesperate for water and someare content; he added.

"I don't suppose the dollarand cent value will come uptonight, " he added.

THE SMALLER THE BETTER

DILEMMA OF CLASSROOM SPACEIt takes a medical man to analyze the provincial school

dilemma.When trustees of Gulf Islands last week were discussing the

campaign for a reduction of pupil- teacher ratio without in-creasing available classroom space. Dr. E. R. Dixon cameup with the answer.

In Britain, he told his colleagues, the free milk quota toschools was discontinued. It was discovered that childrenwho enjoyed the subsidized milk were 10% bitter.

On this basis, he observed, undernourished children wouldtake up 10% less classroom space man normal children andthis could offer a solution.

In response to laughter, he defended his theory."It may sound flippant, " he agreed, "but it is no moreppant than the department's approach to class size and

buildin space. "

meeting that several watertrustees had approached himto ask about the possibility ofthe regional district taking ov-er water distribution on theisland.

"We don't go out lookingfor these things, " he told bisaudience.

Some districts are short ofmoney and others are short ofwater, he noted. Possibility oiamalgamating the districts isup to those districts.

Main purpose of amalgama-tion would be to get financialhelp from the regional districtto put in a new fine fromMount Maxwell to Scott Pointor Isabella Point; he suggested"This would be up to the watadistrict and the regional dist-rict to thresh out, he said.

If 10 water districts were toget together and propose aplan to which the regionaldistrict was agreeable, wouldthere have to be a vote on it,Heinekey was asked.

It is a hot potato, repliedthe director and a referendumcould prove necessary. He wasconfident that the regionaldistrict would arrange the ref-erendum vote.

If one district held backwould this kill the plan askedSpencer Man.

With a New Democrat re-presenting the islands in theHouse of Commons in Ottawaand a Social Creditor in theprovincial legislature, youcould almost say that the isl-

ids average out as Liberals.

Talking of Liberals, therewas some undercurrent thatPierre Elliot Trudeau might bea visitor to the islands duringthe late spring. Politics runhigh among me islands butthere is not much political sus-tenance to be found here bythe nation's administrators.Trouble is that while the isl-anders would get a kick out ofentertaining the national lead-er, Pierre might learn a bitabout a rare part of BritishColumbia and a differentmode of living. You see, ifhe were to come here, hemight find he enjoys the isl-ands! And he'll never know ifhe doesn't try!

DAY CAR-E CENTRESWhen a group on Salt Spring Island looked at

day care centre, the scheme became bogged downinto a dispute between the island sponsors who knewwhat they wanted and the department officials whowanted something else. As a result there is still aday care society on Salt Spring Island, but no day-care .

This week Mr. Hugh Curtis, MLA for the Islandsand Saanich, has asked for information regardingthe need of such a service on the other islands.

The provisions exist in the province for govern-mental help in establishing a centre, he explained,but emphasis has been on the larger, urban centres

Any reader who feels a need for the facility,whereby small children are tended during the work-ing day, should inform Mr. Curtis at the Legislat-ive Buildings, in Victoria. If they have any diffi-culty in doing so,a letter may be sent in care ofDriftwood to be forwarded to him .

REMUNERATION

Provision has been made whereby school trusteesmay receive a substantially larger remuneration incompensation for their services to the communitythan was the case in the past.

This provision is unarguable in the province wheremunicipal council members are paid many thousandsof dollars a year. A member of a school boardhandles vast sums of money on behalf of his commu-nity and he undertakes a heavy responsibility for hisfellows.

The only point on which we might take issue is theassumption that such a reward for services might re -

suit in the recruiting of trustees of a better calibre.If that were the case it would be -a sad reflection

on the capable and upright men and women whohave served on the Gulf Islands and other SchoolBoards i n past years.

The remuneration is a just reward for servicesrendered. Let's not see it as an enticement to someunnamed segment of the community which is onlyprepared to offer help when the reward is substantial

WHY READ?

Travelling library serving Salt Spring Island Libra-ry is being phased out. Decision was reached by theLibrary Development Commission in Victoria. TheCommission decided to start with those libraries tak-ing less than 200 books.

There is probably every justification in this actionCost is the essence of inflation. Only question leftto ask is why the Commission attacked the demon in-flation at ground level.

It is likely that the small library taking less than200 books stands in greatest need of an outside boostIt is the smaller libraries which should be activelyassisted by the province because they rank the clos-est to no li'brary at all.

In addition to that need of outside assistance, theprovince should be aware and proud of the mannerin which a community such as Salt Spring Island caninstitute, operate and expand an excellent libraryservice without placing a burden on the taxpayer.

HELICOPTER USED TO RESTORE SERVICEOne snow storm hit the isl-

ands on Tuesday night lastweek.

One helicopter, 25 menand 48 hours later, servicewas restored to the last darkisland home.

Final service glowed oncemore at 9 pm on Thursday. Itwas a home in the MontagueHarbour area of Galiano.

Hardest hit were Salt Springand Pender Islands.

The steady fall of inches ofwet, heavy snow brought downtrees and branches everywhere,Almost every power outagewas caused by trees, reportedJohn Thompson, B. C. Hydromanager in the islands.

Hydro crews were patrollingthe islands by Tuesday nightand they worked with minim-um time off until service wasrestored everywhere.

Islands staff were run offtheir feet and they were assist-ed by the crews stringing newlines through the norm end ofSalt Spring Island as well astemporary crews from Duncan.

Helicopter was brought intothe battle against the stormwhen the lines around the soiir.shore of Burgoyne Bay werechecked from the air. Joe Roz-zano flew over the power linesand dropped coloured markersto enable the water-borne re-pairmen to identify breaks inthe line.

Total of 25 miles of linewas repaired during the two-day blitz.

Common fault is not theweight of snow on the powerlines, commented Thompson.It is me weighing down of thetrees. Branches rest on thelines and bend lower and low-er, pulling the line down farbelow its normal level. Thetree will finally break or bendto the point where it falls freeof the line. As a result theline snaps back to its naturallevel. A catapult effect is ex-perienced and the line willsnap from the force of itsspring back to its original posi-tion.

The Hydro man was veryconcerned with the influenceof trees. He reported that90^0 of the week's troubleswere the direct result of over-loaded trees.

Letters to the EditorTRANQUILLY SHOT

Sir,Quite recently, you printed

an article on the possibilitiesof using a tranquilizer gun,and removing the cougar (anendangered species) to a wild-life reserve. It was a goodarticle, and a great idea.Surely everyone, includingthe sheep farmers, would ag-ree.

1 ran into cougar tracks onMt, Bruce yesterday, and,shortly after, a friend metCougar hunters, completewith guns, witfi plain bullets.It seems the old story goes on,in spite of alternatives.

Of course, it would requireorganization to save the coug-ars. But it should be done,and quickly, before too manysheep are lost, forcing the

. farmers into action.

Perhaps people are not yetaware that there is anothercougar loose. Please printthis, so that if the animal isshot, we all know why. Be-cause we, on Salt Spring, aretoo apathetic to do anything.If this cougar dies, the hunterwill not be the only one toblame. All those who say thethey believe in conservation,and do nothing about it, hold

the gun, that shoots that ani-mal.

TELEPHONE TROUBLESHOOTER

HUM AND OPTIMUM CALLING TIMESDespite the fact that cir-

cuits linking Salt Spring Islandwith Victoria have doubledsince 1970, it may still be difrficult to get a telephone lineoff-island during peak periods,

Charles Baltzer, telephonetrouble-shooter on the island,explained some of the prob-

• lems of telephones when heI spoke to Salt Spring IslandChamber of Commerce onMonday evening.

Best time to make a calloff-island is before 7 am orafter midnight, he said in re-ply to a question from AllanHardie. Other than thosehours, afternoon is probably abetter time than morning.

The telephone man referredto the hum on the line to Ful-fprd. It is caused by induc-tion, he told the meeting. Thetelephone line picks up the60-cycle hum from the hydrolines. Part of the new instal-lation between Fulford andGanges will eliminate thishum.

Mr. Baltzer also spoke of thedamage to installations.

The pay phone at Mouat'shad been damaged during theweek end. The receiver had

been torn off and thrown away,he reported.

It isn't little boys who dam-age pay phones, he added. Thedamage is mostly done by ad-

ults and in most instances theyare sober when tearing thingsapart.

"Have you ever tried to re-move wax from soft lead?" he

asked his audience. Most dam-age to pay phones requires hotwater to repair it, he explain-ed.

LECTURE ON HOME HEATINGThe electric forced warm

air heating system was thetopic of discussion at a dinnermeeting held in Ganges re-cently.

The meeting, on Monday,Feb. 10, at the Salt SpringGolf and Country Club, wasone of many such meetingsheld in various centres throughout the province.

A. A. (AIf) Gibson of B.C.Hydro's regional advisory serv-ices office, in Victoria, out-lined the heating system, asset out in the electric heatingstandards of B. C. There were63 heating installers and allie<tradesmen in attendance.

"A good installation will re-sult in both maximum comfortand best economy for the cust-omer, " he averred, "and, atthe same time, ensure meleast waste of our electricalenergy."

While Victorians may bewallowing in their garbageSalt Spring Islanders are stillhappily disposing of their re-cycling at our flourishing de-pot.

The doors to the main col-lecting depot in Victoria werelocked last week by the Can-adian Union of Public Employees, preventing the shipmentof island recycling.

However, thanks to thehelp of Mike Larmour, whocame to the rescue with stor-age room in his garage, thedepot in the K & R parkinglot is empty and open to re-ceive islanders' recyclingeach Saturday from 10 am till2 pm.

Unfortunately the depot isunable to recycle egg cartons,magazines or scrap pa per, dueto a slow-down at the shinglemill using these items. Theydo welcome bundles of news-paper, bottles and jars andthose clean flattened tin cans,with the labels off, please!

We have offers of otherstorage areas, so no matterhow long C.U. P.E. bars thedoors, Salt Spring islandersare urged to protect their en-vironment and recycle.

On How to Save Energy in Your Own Home

Walk a few steps and save! Your fireplace is a good place to Dial-a-saving-start. When it's in use, it's a bright,cheery, comforting sight. When it'sdark and .silent, it can be thegreatest single energy waster in thehouse. A fireplace without adamper (or one with a damper that'snot closed) sucks heat out of yourhouse like a monstrous vacuumcleaner, wasting up to 20% of yourannual heating costs. But a damperthat's closed when it should be, or atight-fitting solid screen in front ofthe fireplace, will help cut down theheat loss.

Everyone's heard of the energycrunch, but are you aware of theenergy nibble? We mean the dozensof little ways we all waste energy;little dribs and drabs that nibbleaway at valuable natural resourcesand at our pocketbooks. The fact is,energy wasted can mean moneywasted, whether it's a little or a lot.And a bunch of "littles" always addup to a lot.

We think it's worth a lot to you toconserve energy, right in your ownhome. When you look around,you'll find many ways to fight "theenergy nibble" — easily, painlesslyand, in many cases, without spend-ing money.

Why not spend a few minutes on atour of your home? you're sure tofind places where you can save, andwe'll even show you where to look.

Your fireplace.Save energyin your spare time.

Look into saving energythrough your windows.

Windows let in light, heat and,depending on the view, some pleas-ant scenery. They can also let heatescape, even when they're closed.Weather-stripping can help keepthe heat in and the cold out — it's asimple, inexpensive way to save.Storm windows and doors are also agood idea.

And, if you're contemplating theconstruction of a new house, con-sider double, or even triple glazedwindows to cut heat losses andreduce condensation on the win-dows.

Drapes can help, too. On a bright,sunny day, open them up and let thesun help heat your house (sunlight isabsolutely free). At night, be sure toclose your drapes and you'll reduceheat losses.

Here's one way you can save justby turning a dial. Turn down yourthermostat by 10° every night, andyou'll turn down your annual heat-ing bill by about 10%! Going awayfor the weekend or longer? Set it at55° and conserve energy. And keepin mind, for every one degree over70° you set your thermostat, youuse from 3 to 5% more energy.Wouldn't it make more sense to puton a sweater instead, especially ifthe sweater's already paid for?

These are just a few of the ways youcan save energy right in your ownhome. You can probably find moreways with little or no trouble. (Bythe way, if no one is watching TV,why is the set still turned on?)Energy conservation doesn't takemuch effort, but it can mean morethan you think — to your budget, toyour environment, to your future.

After all, that's what's such ashame about wasting energy:you're wasting much more than justyour money.

When you use energy wisely,you save a lot more than you think.

over a very wide area.Islanders have to agree. The

island is very lucky to havethe facility. And they agreethat it's no short cut to milli-ons, bringing television tohundreds of island homes.

Both Brian Logan and JohnHarrisibn are qualified tojudge the system. Both haveworked in other communitiesfor cab'evision companies andboth have spent most of theirworking lives in electronicsand cable vision.

Any man who has lived formany years in Vancouverlooks askance at island cable-vision and compares it ment-ally with the system he knewin the great mainland city.That just cannot be done.Vancouver has the biggestcablevision service in theworld, in terms of density ofthe area served. Victoriaranks third. You can't com-pare them with Salt SpringIsland.

On Salt Spring Island thecompany operates 37 miles ofcablevision line, from pole-to-pole to much of the northend of the island. And theyserve something better than500 customers.

The number of customers isnot all of it. In Victoria theantenna station, where theservice picks up the signals topipe them to area homes, ismore or less centrally located.Cable running from the anten-nae is useful, salable cable,distributing the service almostas soon as it leaves the aerials,

Not so in the case of the is-land service. The antenna isatop Mount Belcher, milesaway from the centre of popu-lation. Miles of dead lineare strung along the Cranberry,serving no homes, merelythere to bring the signal to themore populous centres. Thatlong, dead line cost money toinstall. It costs money tomaintain. Trees fall across itAmplifiers or other electronicequipment short out.

There is about three feet ofsnow at the antenna at thepresent time, reports Harrison,Drive up there? Don't besilly! You walk!

At the mercy of storm, wind,snow and ice, the distributionsystem also suffers from itsown diseases such as shorts inthe circuit and other, similarelectrical failures.

While the BC Hydro areputting in new lines to thenorth end of Salt Spring Islandtihe service is cut off periodic-ally to >«iable the linesmen to

Each time the power cuts inagain, there is a surge andfrequently that burns out anamplifier. There are provi-sions in the system which aresupposed to prevent this fromhappening, but there is noassurance that it can be stop-ped.

When the service is brokenthe cablevision office gets themessage from customers. Thencomes the chore of finding theoffender. The crewmen, whoare also the operators, drivearound the island climbingpoles to identify the offendingamplifier. It all takes time,but eventually the service isrestored.

Problem is that two menwith two vehicles drive a goodmany miles to service 37 milesof distribution cable. Victoriacablevision service, with ab-out twice the length of cable,employs more than 50 men.

Most customers are court-eous, helpful and understand-ing, said the owners. A feware inclined to be difficult

Life has been one long hopin recent weeks. The twomen have hopped from pole topole, morning, noon andnight, trying to keep pacewith the calls for service.

The procession of outagesstarted when a gravel truckraised its box at Rainbow andLower Ganges Roads. The boxshorted out the cablevisionline several weeks ago.

From then on there havebeen trees across the lines andevery other possible cause oftemporary failure.

While Hydro and telephonecrews were out picking up thepieces last Wednesday, cable-vision crews were sliding ab-out the island trying to correctviewing problems brought ab-out by the same storm.

PICKETING(From Page One)

Members of the union lock-ed out on Salt Spring Islandinclude Stickland, Building In-spector Nels Vodden and twoclerks, Eliane Shepherd andEleanor Deacon, noted Brad-bury.

He agreed that picketing onthe island was somewhat myst?ifying to many islanders and hewas of the opinion ttiat histeam may be the first memb-ers of any union to picket onthe island.

The union will meet withdie Capital Regional Districton Thursday.

"We want to get back towork," said the CUPE spokes-man.

He charged that the regionaldistrict had shown irresponsibi -lity in locking out the union.

Island outgrows phone plansFurther outEne of plans to

update telephone service inthe islands has been offeredby the Island Division Manag-er of B. C. Telephone Co.,R. E. Henderson.

Mr. Henderson offered hiscomments in a letter to SaltSpring Island Chamber ofCommerce.

His letter is published be-low.

* * *I have had an opportunity

to review the Salt Spring Isl-and telephone service sincereading the comments in the

January 22, 1975 Gulf IslandDriftwood . In response tothese I have the following tooffer;

We forecast telephonegrowth and requirements fromtwo to three years in advance.Our forecasts for 1972 and 1973were below growth expecta-tions and telephone demandson the Gulf Islands.

In addition, we require twoor three years to engineer,have produced, and installmost of our subscriber equip-ment from the date of ourcompleted forecasts.

Today the service you arereceiving is a result of ourearly 1970's forecasting.

We are aware of the tele-phone problems on the Gulf Is-lands —both local and longdistance—and this year we aisbeginning a two-year programto relieve the existing situa-tion. In particular this yearwe are investing nearly one-half million dollars on im-proving the service by placingadditional connecting circuitsbetween Ganges and FulfordHarbour and increasing theamount of switching equip-ment within the Ganges office

WALK ON

APRIL 29lions Walkathon will be

staged on Saturday, March 29.It is the day following Good

Friday and preceding EasterSunday. It is the day of theWalkathon on Salt Spring Isl-and every year.

Biggest feature of the Walk-athon last year was the chariotrace. This will be staged ag-ain this year, with chariotsbeing invited from all organi-zations on the island.

to upgrade local service.We are adding cable to pro-

vide facilities for present andimmediate anticipated growtfin the same areas.

On Pender Island we are adding circuits between Penderand Mayne to Victoria whichwill improve the service toVancouver Island. In the Pend'er Island office itself, we areadding more central officeequipment to relieve die im-mediate and expected growthfor the next two years.

Where economics or obviousemergency requirements war-rant a coin phone installation,we will comply with such aservice.

Most such installations costfrom $200 to $400 dependingon local circumstances.

Most of the above changeswill be implemented this yearand therefore "Islands" tele-phone service will be betterin all respects by the end of1975. If you don't notice theimprovement please let meknow. * * *

On the motion of T. A.Toynbee, the Chamber willexpress its appreciation of thecompany's efforts.

It was also directed to urgethe telephone company to pro-vide some aid to islandersmaking long distance calls. Itwas felt that on-island projectwould help relieve problemsbut the bugbear of long dist -ance calls will remain unsolv-ed.
