1Yesterday, the Sidney-Tsawwassen ferry went into operation. As a public service for the readers of

DRIFTWOOD, we '_ had the "Old Drifter" take the pre-inaugural run that was held last Thursday for thepress,tourist and government officials. While the "Old Drifter" is not a tourist or government official andnot really a member of the press, we felt that ho qualified for the free trip as a "free-loader" par excellence.Here is his report.

"It was pretty sneaky of the government to start the run at 7:00 a.m. from Swartz Bay. Since no bar in.B.C. can open before 10:30 or so, this was the only way not to have a free bar and keep the thirsty pressfrom writing nasty things about their new, shiny boat. For the trip to Tsawwassen they served coffee andtoast. Just the thing for all those sleepy-eyed officials. Nothing looks so different than a cabinet ministerat 7 o'clock in the morning.

The ship (The Sidney) is a beautiful, functional ship. Whether the two ships are as pretty as $10,000,000I don't know. The ships are 321 ft. in length and have a beam of 74 ft. It has spacious lounges and largewindows to view the Gulf Islands. There is a sun deck and promenade deck. It has 9 staterooms, a coffeeshop and a coffee bar. Its speed is 18 knots and has bow and stern loading of cars. The scheduled run is1 hour and 40 minutes. At Tsawwassen, the ship loaded several buses and cars , filled with dignitaries, for

the return trip to .Swartz Bay. AfterC O N T R O V E R S I A L MOTION F A i L S

' "At the Gulf Islands School Board regular meeting, with G. Heinekeyin the chair, held last Thursday night, a controversial motion concern-ing teachers proposed by J .M Campbell of Saturna Island, was defeated4-2, with one member being absent at the time pf voting. The motion,whlch'Mr. Campbell believed would upgrade the caliber of our teach-ers, was: "That it shall be the policy of this board not to confirm trieappointment of any probationary teacher unless the inspector's reportrated the teacher in question as 'good'

" D e a r E d i t o r I have given careful consideration to the pro-slem you raised for me—whether to reply to your editorial in lastweek's Driftwood, or v/hether to let it go. However, I've decided toreply, in fairness to the Render Island Chamber of Commerce, and tothe general public of Salt Spring Island. .

Firstly, I wish to make it perfectly clear that I, and I alone, am .responsible for the article in The Review, to which you took umbrage .It was not suggested to me by anyone that I write, nor did I write forthe Fender Island Chamber of Commerce. My views and the articlewould have been the same if I belonged to the Farmers' Institute, theLadies' Aid, or an Association to Study the Flora and Fauna of theInner Islands.

You know, Mr. Editor, and I know— we all know, that if you justsubstituted Salt Spring for Fender in your diatribe, it would apply inthe same sense you wish it to apply for Render. I'm not saying this tobe nasty. One has only to be familiar with this whole situation to<now it is true. As it is, you have left yourself so wide open withevery stroke of your pen, it is pitiful.

I don't know who those Render people are who allegedly pleadedwith you not to judge Fender by Chamber of Commerce types, and Idon't want to know, because I'm ashamed of them. I don't expecteveryone on Fender to like me, or even approve of trie. That wouldbe silly. But I do expect them to be loyal to Fender. These must bethe kind of people who, because of persona! dislikes, or a jealoushatred of the Chamber of Commerce, are ready to se!l Fender short tosatisfy their own egos. They accept, and make use of the benefits theChamber has achieved for all residents, but aren't big enough to joinand get behind the Chamber, and raise their voices on their own Is-land in constructive criticism. They are like anonymous letter writers,who want to say something uncomplimentary about someone or some-thing, and are too cowardly to sign their names. If left to this type ofperson, we wouldn't have a ferry service to Swartz Bay to this day. Ithas been a long, hard struggle by loyal workers for Fender who havebrought this about.

Yet you, svho are a babe in the wood to our whole transportationhistory, and the work and worry that has gone into what successes wehave achieved, take the guidance of these few to do yourself andboth Fender and Salt Spring a disservice. You speak of these phonefriends r:s having lived on Fender a long time, who can remember .whenferry service was very inadequate (it was so up until June 3rd.,1960),and who can remember when there was none at all. Y6u don't have tobe an old timer to remember that. I've been close to the transportationstruggle long before you'd even heard of the Gulf islands. That'swhat makes your remarks about Johnny-come-lately Chamber ofCommerce types such a laugh, Look whose talking! Nothing has comemore "lately" than Driftwood.

As for your slurs against certain members of the Chamber executive,whom you made entirely obvious, it is sad that the editor of Driftwoodhas so quickly forgotten his high ideals of the first issue, March 24th,1960, as to turn on his own friends. Render needs more residents of thecalibre of trie newcomer you refer to. These people have openedtheir home and their hearts to the sick and the troubled, entered intoour activities wholeheartedly, taken our problems and aspirations toheart, and lent their time, hospitality, and purse to every worthycause. Yet you have the temerity to belittle them!

Your lecture on appreciation is amusing. We are 'way ahead ofyou. Long since we've thanked the Highways Department for placingthe Motor Princess on our run«-And long ago we thanked our memberfor his efforts on our behalf. He, poor man, has an unhappy lot inthese Islands, with Salt Spring wanting to hang on to the two bigferries, and the other Islands crying for an equitable service. As forthanking the ferry company—it has made it (CONT'D ON P.5)

(CONT'DFROM P. 4) LETTER perfectly clearthat any improvements to the service must be paid for--and they are. But, I never debark from the ferrywithout saying "thank you" for the trip to Swartzand back, I'm just so thankful to have a ferry service.Do you, Mr. Editor? To get right down to cases,we should all thank the people of B.C., becauseour ferries to Vancouver Island are kept running outof the public purse. However, I'll be jiggered ifI'm going to thank anyone for taking the frosting offthe cake. We finally got the cake this summer, tohave it pulled back and the frosting cut off, whichI do think was pretty small. We ail know what ourprovincial government has done for the Islands—more than any other government before them. But,when you undertake to instruct us on appreciationit has the same effect as were you to instruct Mr.Bennett or Mr. Gaglardi on a more humble, ap-preciative attitude toward the hand-outs from thefederal government.

You mention that Port Washington gets 24 callsper week. What you fail to mention is that SaltSpring gets 126 round trips per week to VancouverIsland, and Pender gets 12 round trips to V.!. perweek. And the other Islands don't get as many asPender.

Your paragraph on the rusticity of the Islandsloses, its punch when one considers that you adoptedthe most urban of all the Islands, as your habitat,-

Your last paragraph is amazing. It never crossed ;

my mind that Sal'- Spring did not storm over losingthe Motor Princess. No sane person would expect : -the people of Salt Spring to carry the long battle tohold the Princess beyond the final decision of the ,government and the company, to let it go. Especiallywith last year's resolution fresh in mind that they"could not and wpuld:not" let it go. We did thinkthat was..a,mite ynneighborly,,when it was the onlyone of thie twp large ferries that could take the run.We are tired of being treated like poor relations,and it's always a bit of a shock to find this out. .

I'm not blaming Salt Spring for your editorial, asI'm sure many people there regret it as much as wedo. t-towevef, I'm a free ggent, and there will beother articles iri print, should situations.call for them.But next time, bone up on your subject matter beforeyou write that editorial.

What, these Islands need is closer association oftheir Chambers, to find a common approach to mutualproblems, and equitable, just, and friendly solutions.;(Signed): Virginia Shirley"

C O N T R B U T O R S -PAGETRAVEL WITH A HORSE ON A FERRY by

Phil Hiidred,. .A sea voyage with a horse in handmay be hazardous until one acquires the savvy thatcomes from experience. For instance, a long ride tothe ferry wharf can be tiresome unless one has severalfriends with gardens along the way where the horsemay be refreshed. Most gardeners are delighted withthis arrangement since they have a fanatical interestin the end product. Delicate timing is required how-ever to ensure that all are satisfied. For the horse-woman, a handbag that will accomodate a currycomb and dandy brush is essential. Check the hand-bag .for these items frequently while waiting for theferry. One eye must be kept on the horizon, oneeye on the animal and one eye on the husband whois bei.ng left behind. If this seems to be too manyeyes, get someone else to watch the husband. Ifthe. horse is a mare and is being taken for the nupitalceremony, check the;curry comb and dandy brushagain. It is vital that she should feel that she islooking her best for this occasion. With this in mindalso, give careful consideration to;the travellingblanket. For a red mare nothing but a bright g"een,pure wool,Trapper Point will do, qnd.if the onlyoneavailable happens to be on the;master.bed, well,that's too bad for the old man. When he turns, in atnight and drags the.gunny sacks around his shouldershe can at least console himself with the thought thatthe mare is havjng a good time.

I protested with some choler thiswould be the unworthiest suspicion, to which myfather replied that the losers of Beefs, Mr. Walchwould seem best fitted by daring and leadership toadroitly organise such a Traffic.

the incident in which Mr. Walch and Mr, Joneshad, by their active intervention and each in hisownway, dissuaded the exasperated Settlers from an ill-conceived Punitive foray against the Indians of KuperIsland.' He told me that in the mining camps ofCalifornia, it had oft happened that Miners beingangered by a series of Thieveries, though in them-selves being-for the most part Estimable men, in amatter of minutes they could become a mob possessedof the Devil, determined to wreak a vengeance with-out'aforethought on any they suspected.
