GREASY PIGS DRAW EAGER CROWD

Master of ceremonies Jack Webster checks his notes oa Saturday*

PIG DAY IS BIG DAYOnly difference between rab-

,a pigs un Saturday was thegrease...and the squeals.

Second annual greasy pig con-test at Ganges featured 16 pigsand seven rabbits. There werealso hundreds of spectators aswell as the contestants.

Top catcher of the day wasIan Kyle. Ian won the bicyclefor top ticket sale and a pig forgood measure. He sold 88 tick-ets.

Afternoon's events openedwith a short concert by the bandof 676 Royal Canadian Air Cad-et Squadron from Sidney. Bandwas under the direction of Lt.Rudolph Ohm and accompaniedby the commanding officer,Capt. David Price.

The contest had been publi -cized over CFAX and CKNW,and in Victoria and Vancouverdaily newspapers.

Judges were M. F. Peiler,D.G.Crofton and Alan Best,curator of Stanley Park Zoo.

Jack Webster carefully ex-plained that the event had notbeen sponsored by Jack Scott.The newspaper columnist hadwritten to the editor of DRIFT-WOOD protesting the contest.

The radio man kept up a live-ly spiel throughout the after-noon.

TEN-ROOM SCHOOL FOR SALT SPRING ISLAND

PLANS LAID FOR NEW SCHOOLREFERENDUM TO BE PRESENTED IN DECEMBER AT ANNUAL ELECTIONS

New elementary school isplanned for Salt Spring Island.On Tuesday evening trustees ofGulf Islands School District gaveunanimous approval to the con-struction of a 10-room school atan estimated cost of $350,000.

The project will be put to theratepayers of the islands in theform of a referendum. An effortis to be made to have the neces-sary details completed in timefor the vote to be taken at theannual elections in December.

Based on the present rate ofschool growth it is expected thatthe new school will be operatingto its capacity by 1972.

J.W.Campbell summed up thefuture needs of the islands. "Wecan expect steady and increas-ingly rapid growth in the GulfIslands," he told his colleagues,"The assumption has got to bemade that Salt Spring Island willOPERATION OF SCHOOL

There was considerable debateon the pattern of operation ofsuch a school in the future. Itwas suggested that the newschool might cater to studentsfrom kindergarten to grade threewith grades four to seven rem-aining at the present school.

Proposal was not unanimouslyaccepted, but no firm decisionwas reached.

Cost of the school is estimat-ed on classroom cost of $25,000,and an activity roorn at$100,000. Offices and serviceaccommodation are included inthe classroom estimates. Totalwould be $350,000.

The board must prepare a ref-

erendum for the approval of thedepartment of education. Thisis then presented to the propertyowners of the district.

Possibility of adding to thepresent elementary school wasdiscounted. "It would be wrongto add a single 2x4 to that

school," asserted Mr. Campbell.Siting of the new school will

be based on the distribution ofpopulation on the island.

Irustees will investigate thepossibility of reducing costs byadopting standard plans of thedepartment of education.

LEVEL ROAD PLEASE*Another Voice Is Heard

Archdeacon R.K.Horsefieldhas asked for the co-operationof the Salt Spring Island Chamb-er of Commerce in the elimina-tion of a traffic hazard at Gan-ges.

Last week a letter was read(rum the Anglican minister, ex-pressing his concern for thehump in the road at the foot ofChurch Road.

The turn onto Church Road isso deeply hidden that only atruck driver can see over thehump, he wrote.

"Northbound traffic turningleft must lake a deliberatechance in entering Church Road'said Archdeacon liorsefield."The driver must turn fast andhope to avoid collision with an-other vehicle."

l ie expressed the hope that itmight be possible to re-profilethe section before the blacktop-ping program is completed.

Every organization on SaltSpring Island has its measure offun and frolic but the Old AgePensioners' Organization everynow and then takes a doublemeasure and ladles out fun likeflowers from a flower basket.

On Wednesday last, just suchan afternoon took shape wheneight of the members put on ashow to entertain a room-full ofelderly people at St. George'sHall in Ganges at the OpenHouse Party. It was a riot!

They came on the floordressed to represent everything *—from dancing girls to hippies,suffragettes to Youth - and actedtheir parts.

Mrs. E. Barber started out byrepresenting Old Age in an oldcostume and then came back asa swinger that would have puttoday's youth to a real test; shecould swing a really high kickas she sang and danced.

Mrs. Elsie Thacker, who's on-ly about 78 or so, portrayedyouth. She wore what lookedlike "baby dolls", pink and miniand a swinging robe. Her hairwas in curls and tied on eitherside of her head with pink ribb-ons and she carried a flower bas-ket of posies.

It must be over forty years agothat our Elsie entertained thetroops during the First World War.Today, a veteran trooper, she isentertaining retired veterans atthese OAPO affairs.

What? Elsie?Director of the provincial

board for the OAPO? Always do-ing good and entertaining groupsofpensioners at her little lunch-eon parties?

Then there was Mrs.Clsibourne- that little old flowerchildwent hippie and won the prize(which was hardly suitable). Whcever associated a hippy with analarm clock?

Even Mr. daibourne grum -bled about possibilities of beingawakened by that ding-dongedalarm!

Mrs. H. Skuce and Mrs. J. St.Olge, went as suffragette andFashions Today respectively,Mrs. Hadfield as Public Eye,Mrs. Cranswick, Flowers, andMrs. Saunders represented Her-oes.

The real test of a perform-ance is in the enjoyment it pro-vides and the company presentof about 65, thoroughly enjoyedthe afternoon.

Mr. Cranswick made an ex-cellent M.C. and it was goodto see Archdeacon Holmes atthe party and looking so well.A welcome visitor was Mrs.Elsie Worthington; and Mrs.Norton at the piano was splend-id.

The 11 greasy children inproud possession of greasy pigswere Colin Byron, Michele Lar-son, Alex McManus, DebbieWoodley, Danny Fraser, JaniceRyles, Tom Langdon, SandraWilliams, Brian Bogdanovich,Ian Kyle and Bobby Empey.

Greasy grown-ups with greasypigs were Kathy Williams, Mrs.Syd Fraser, David Williams,John Helme and Andy Mitchell.

The pigs were given a restwhen rabbits were introduced.Mrs. Joyce Roper donated sevenof them and they were placedin the ring for small people tocapture. The bunnies wereneither fearful nor noisy. Theyhopped a few times until theyfelt familiar human handsclutching them.

The rabbits went to LeahKaye, Gordon Miller, ElizabethRonne, Warren Kyle, CindyHoward, Danay Reynolds andStephen Anderson.

The adult contest were stagedby a system of auctioning atthe field, with C.R. Horel asauctioneer.

There were home cookingstall and refreshments offered.

Final figure has not been con-firmed, but Mr. Wolfe-Milnerestimated the day's net at about$800.

Pig contest is the means ofraising funds for the CentennialPark. Pigs are purchased forthe events by the park society.The purchase is underwritten byvarious businesshouses and organ-izations, so that each piglet hasits own sponsor.

Children sell tickets on theirown behalf. Only those childrerselling the highest number oftickets are eligible to enter thecontest. Funds realized by thesale of tickets are all devotedto the park. There is a drawfor hams for ticket holders.Winners were Mrs. G.E.Croftand F.. A. Miller.

This year's contest was highlysuccessful and the weather wasdelightful. Use of the schoolgrounds was donated by theschool district.

Farlaue demonstrated a laserbeam. Beam of apparentlyround red light carried a prograrrof music across the room.

Combination of Laser beamand satellite is die ultimate incommunications, he suggested.Problem thus far is that the laserbeam will not penetrate clouds,but bounces off them. One las-er beam across the country couldin theory, he told his audiencecarry all telephone calls, datamessages and radio programs ofthe world simultaneously.

Use of the beam for destruct-ive purposes would require sogreat a power source that hecould only see such a possibilityin the realms of science fiction.

Another feature of the laserbeam is the transmission of athree-dimensional picture.

"Your friend has been calledaway to a conference in Torontothe night he was going to visityou," suggested the telephonecompany engineer, "He canstill visit you. You flip on yourlaser-hologram receiver. Fromhis hotel room in Toronto youtune your friend in... in full col-or and in three dimensions, inhis armchair.. .he is for all in-tents and purposes witli you."

This is not science fiction, heemphasized. The technique forsuch a communication exists to-day.

Jvlr. MacKarlane explainedme character and constructionof the communications satellite.

It is a space vessel locatedabout 11,000 miles above theearth and equipped with motorsto maintain its position in spaceA signal is beamed from theearth, picked up by the satell-ite and then rebroadcast back.The unit is small and its equip-ment quite weak. Hence, the'corresponding equipment on thej^ourid must send-out a signal ofgreat strength and the receivingequipment oh the ground mustbe capable of amplifying thesignal without losing it in othernoises.

The satellite will be launchedfrom Cape Kennedy by the Uni-ted States National Aeronauticsand Space Administration andthe project will be undertakenat cost.

Cost of the satellite will bebetween $60 and $75 millions.The satellite will cost $40 mill-ions, the launching about $6millions and the groi-nd equip-ment, or "earth segment", ab-out $20 millions.

The satellite is being set upby the Telsat Canada Corpora-tion, and is operated jointly bythe federal government, privateshareholders ant! the communi-cations industry.

It will be provided with sixtransponders, or channels. Thechannels will provide two tele-phone systems of 400 circuitseach. One will be for trans-Canada services and the otherfor far-northern circuits. Theremaining four channels will bedevoted to television, withtliree for CBC transmissions andone for CTV.

The speaker offered one asp-ect of satellite communications

that is hidden from the Canadi-an in other communities.

Gilles Bergeron, of the feder-al communications ministry hadstated, "If we could show Bon-anza every Sunday night andguarantee live coverage of thehockey and football games, wecould substantially reduce theturnover in mining personnel."

Satellite communicationsbring Canadians together.

NEW SCHOOLA new school is in the offing. While islanders have

been concerned in recent months with the growth ofthe islands and the need for some pattern of future de-velopment, the school population has mounted. OnSalt Spring Island the elementary school has handed itssenior students over to the new high school, but it yetcannot accommodate the students anticipated withinthe next three years.

In other fields of activity there have been many toexpress concern at the steady Increase in developmentof the islands. This problem of schools is the inevit -able accompaniment to expansion.

Elsewhere in British Columbia the picture has beenclouded with school needs for the past two decades*Here, among the islands, the growth has been late incoming. It is now here.

In December it is hoped to present a new schoolbuilding referendum. Trustees and school board staffare working to prepare everything in time for the latefall. Let us hope that the community will show thesame support.

In the past such building programs have been heldup and there have been portable classrooms leased inorder to meet the needs of the district. However diffi-cult it may be to accept that school building is an ur-gent matter in a retired community, let us ensure thatthe children themselves do not suffer for the adult re-lectance to accept their presence.

Let us all make an effort to thoroughly investigatethe picture and the need and offer the building pro-

gram the support it merits.

LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR

M W A S APPROVU)

Editor, Uriftwood,In reply to Mr. ;md Mrs. Jack

Scott's letter in last week's edi-tion of Driftwood wherein theydeplored the inhumanity of ourGreasy Piglet Catching Gontrst,may I refer to the reaction ofrhe S.P.C.A., an official «fwhich acted as a jtiJge for ourList year's contest.

I feel I cannot do better Thanto publish in full the text of aletter the Centennial Park Com-mit tee received from this organ-ization in reply to an invi tat ionior one of their members to actas a judge again this year.

Mr. A.W.Wolfe-Milner,Chairman, S.S.I. Centenniali'ark Committee.

Dear Mr, Wolfe-Milner:Receipt is acknowledged ot yourletters of September 10, andOctober 3. Please accept myapologies for the delay in reply-

ing, which was caused by thedifficulty in trying to obtainsomeone to visit Salt Spring onSaturday before the statutoryholiday.

Unfortunately, I find it im-possible to send an Inspector toact as a judge in this contest.It seems unfortunate that, onthis particular weekend, every-one, including myself, has acommitment. I finally teleph-oned the Executive Director ofthe B.C. S.P.C.A. in Vancou-ver only to find that he, too, isunavailable, as he is compelledto stay in Vancouver, as he hasbeen appointed for jury duty.

I am sorry that I can send noone over, but would ask if wemight have the privilege of act-ing in this capacity again nextyear.

Yours very truly,Sgd. D.H.Beeching,Secretary Manager.

We trust this will allay Mr.

and Mrs. Scott's fears that pig-lets in the contest are subjectedto any treatment which may beconsidered inhumane.

COLOR TV AND RADIATION

Editor, Driftwood,Your readers may be interes-

ted in the correct facts regard-ing the "rumors" and "state-ments" made in this area aboutthe danger of "Radiation" fromthe operation of Color TV sets.Unfortunately some of these re-marks have been made by per-sons whose positions would com-mand respect, and be receivedas the apparent truth. There isabsolutely no such danger, des-pite some widely circulated"scare" articles in magazines,etc. Such shock reports areconsidered valid, and spread soquickly that the effort to correctthem is tremendous, and somedisturbance has been caused tothe owners and users of ColorTV sets in this area.

AH TV sets sold in Canadahave to pass stringent tests inthis (and other) respects con-ducted by the Canadian Stand-ards Association.

Their regulations are so strictthat the maximum radiationpermissible would not exceedthai of a light fixture, and aminute 's exposure to the sunwould equal more radiationthan .1 person could ever be ex-posed to be a Color TV set in ayear's operation. There is nodanger, particularly in Canadi-

. an sets.

Must people are wary of newdevelopments that they do notunderstand. Consider the hist-ory-making moon trip. Someman stated that we were play-ing with dynamite in this spaceeffort, because there was achance that one of our spaceships would get stuck betweenthe sun and earth, and shut offall our light! This is similarto the current inanities regard-ing scare stories of harmful TVradiation. So operate :your TVset without any worries for futuregenerations!

A. G. Sheffield, Senior Memb-er, Institute of Electrical andElectronic Engineers,Fulford Harbour,October 10, 1969.

HE DISAGREES

Editor, Driftwood,I was amazed and a little am-

used at Jack and Grace Scott'sassertion in their letter to theEditor last week.

Whoever told Scott that thepiglets were terrified? Certain-ly the S.P.C.A., who viewedthe greasy piglet contest lastyear didn't think so, especiallyas they sent a letter to the Cen-tennial Committee mis year ex-pressing their regrets that theycotfldn t come to watch the fun.Obviously it was Scott's over-worked imagination that toldhim this.

I, too, am an animal lover,but by no stretch of my imagin-ation could I discern one pigletwho was slightly scared duringthe contest.

I watched both contest, andray interpretation was that thebaby pigs enjoyed the "Game"asmuch as the youngsters.

It is well known that puppies,lambs, calves and colts enjoya romp with children and I amsure little piglets do the same.In addition to this the pigletsend up with good homes untilsuch time as they serve theiruseful purpose as meat for thetable.

The children who caughtthem adore them and wouldn'thurt a hair on their plump littlebodies.

How ridiculous also to suggestthe disbanding of our hardwork-ing Centennial Committee, whoarc constantly thinking up harm-less ways to raise funds to main-tain our beautiful CentennialPark which benefits ALL humans

FROM NORWAY WITH LOVEBY BEA HAMILTONMrs. Singe Olsen came out

from her home in Alta f Norway ;over five months ago to visither daughter, Edel, (Mrs. Sat-ermo of Park Drive Guest Houseon Park Drive, Ganges), andfound a whole new world of in-terest. She could neither speaknor understand the Canadianlanguage but in no time she hadmade many friends. Words werenot needed but when they were,Norwegian friends came forwardand acted as interpreters.

Last week Mrs. Satermo gavea farewell party for her motherand this time, Salt Spring prod-uced a number of people origin-ally from Norway and the softNorwegian words rolled aroundthe flower decorated room atPark Drive. Through the helpof Norwegian friends we foundout that Mrs. Olsen found SaltSpring delightful and she lovesVictoria, where she was able tovisit her grandchildren and great-grandchild. Personal gifts andbouquets of lovely Autumn flow-ers surrounded the guest of honorand delicious refreshments wereserved. It was a delightful partybut a parting is always a littlesad.

It was a bit stormy when Mrs.Olsen left on Monday to returnto Norway and a few tears min-

Four of our summer Islandersfrom Burnaby came over lastThursday to play bridge at theweekly bridgefest,. -Nancy nar-rower, Ronnie Golightly andMarion Publicover . Our ladieswelcomed them with a luncheorand as guest of honor Uncle ArtRalph was invited.

SATURNALIA WILL BE REPEATED SAYS WRITER

Saturnalia, according to Web-ster, was an occasion of all-outmerriment and revelry!!! Wellwe out did the Romans withours on Saturday night and alsoraised over 500 bucks for theFire Department.

To begin with we had a grandorchestra composed of Islanders,piano, Davina Vincent; accord-ion, Donna Began; guitar, larr-uping Lloyd Smith; banjo, BeeFroeze; drums, mighty MorrisLittler; castanets Molly Littler;bass-ukc, bashful Bill Ashdown.At about 2 am. juicy Jack Vin-cent got the mike and in a joc-ular mood said that as the bandwas pro union they would haveto stop and lo and behold some-one started a hat around andcollected $55 for them to playon which they did for anotherhour or so. The money was putin the Fire Hall kitty.

Tangy Tom Davidson handledthe Mayne Island dispenser, forwhich our grateful thanks. Glo-ssy George Whiting was incharge of refreshments. AnneBavis, shirluy .Money and MargFry handled the monies, l-ideWhiting raffled off a transistorradio donated by beaming BevCampbell and thankful TomMay turn, won it. The door priaof a turkey was won by jauntyJack Rush. Of course all of ourFair Ladies put on the foodwhich was gobbled up entirely.Not even a crumb remained.

This was the start of our winterfestivities so with an orchestraof our own now we will havemore SATURNALIAS!

men and a reporter rrom SaltSpring Island were the guests ofCrofton Pulp and Paper Limited.

The mill manager, Hill Rey-nolds, welcomed the group andintroduced other employees.

Norm Gish showed coloredslides of British Columbia For-est Products operations in theprovince, including the Croftonfacilities. The group then en-joyed luncheon in the plant.

Following luncheon Eric Guesttechnical assistant to the mana-ger, described the pulp and pap-er manufacturing process. Heused copious samples and flowcharts. Second speaker was Dr.Jack Fisher, manager of thecompany's research and devel-opment department. He dis-cussed pollution control for airand for water.

The problem of air pollutionconcerns gases and particulatematter or solids, he observed.

The most offensive gases ar-ise from chemically treatingthe wood fibres.

The wood chips are cooked ina solution containing sodiumsulphide to remove lignin andnon-cellulose carbohydrates.The resulting liquor is concen-trated, by evaporation, until itis about 70% solids. It is thenfired in a furnace to recoversodium salts which are used ag-ain to treat more wood chips.

About '2., 000 tons of solids perday are burnt in this way atCrofton. A small proportion ofthem escape through the smokestack, together with gases con-taining sulphur compounds.

Electrostatic prccipitatorscapture 90 to 95«/o of the solidsin the smoke.

I lydrogen sulphide is one ofthe gases that advertise the pre-sence of the Crofton mill.Man'solfactory sense is so delicatethat as little as five parts perbillion can be detected. A goodsensitive beak can sniff out evenless quantities. Only way to eli-

minate sulphurous gases from thesmoke effluent has been econo-mically unpractical, visitorswere told.

To produce 1, 000 tons of kraftpulp and 700 tons per day ofnewsprint, about 55 milliongallons of water are used.

The water effluent from themanufacturing processes passesthrough holding tanks to minim-ize the foaming effect. A hold-ing pond retains fine bark to pre-vent its discharge into the sea.An $800,000 line carries thewater effluent about one mileout to sea.

The company recognizes theimportance of reducing pollutionof the environment, visitorswere assured. There is a closeco-operation with the the depar-tment of fisheries and the pollu-tion control board.

Since 1960 B.C.Forest Prod-ucts Ltd., the parent companyof the Crofton mill, has joinedwith two other forest productscompanies to offer financial sup-port for the work of the BritishColumbia Research Council inair and water pollution abate -ment.

The council has made advan-ces in developing scrubbing dev-ices and analytical and measur-ing techniques for gases. Theirresearch has included mill sur-veys and studies of the smokestack gases. In the past two yeaisthe Crofton company has spent3100,000 in improvement forwaste disposal and chemical re-covery.

After the question period,Gordon Cameron supervised atour of the pulp and paper milland loading facilities. Thelarge size of the facilities andthe high speed of the machineryimpressed the island visitors.Each of the two newsprint ma-chines produces a continuoussheet of paper, 255 inches wide.

The products are shipped allover the world, including the MUnited States of America. In a-^storage warehouse were rolls ofnewsprint whose wrappers indica-ted destinations such as Calgary,Seattle, Victoria Times andCowichan Leader. Thus, thepaper you hold in your hand pro-bably was manufactured a shortferry ride from Salt Spring.

The inevitability of pollutionnear today's industrial centresis emphasized by Dr. Fisher'sinnocent remark, "I had a placenorth of Nanaimo that was so farfrom any mill that the water waspretty clear...."

A question period introduced less technical features of themill operation.

Deep sea freighters stay from one to five days to load pulp,paper and lumber. It was said the company has no control ov-er this source of pollution.

Wood chips which float to Salt Spring beaches spill to thesea during the unloading of barges, partly because the bargesare sometimes overloaded. The company is attempting todevelop an apron device to eliminate this waste of chips.

There is a pollution control committee at the mill ready toreceive complaints and suggestions.

Samples of waste resembling pulp collected on a beach maybe sent to the Pacific Biological Station.

The Crofton Company has no marine biologist on its payrollfor U depends upon government control bodies in this field.

The mill controls the alkalinity of the water effluent withchemical buffers to reduce its toxic effect on fish. The watereffluent from the mill when diluted to 5?c is harmless to youngsalmon.

The temperature of the water effluent is about 85% F.

He patted hisprotruding belly with the air ofa man caught in some deceitfulpractice and shrugged it off.Notat all, he assured me, he isn'tputting on weight. Scared toweigh himself, I ventured.Weighs regularly, he responded.There's something fishy aboutFisher, that's all I can say.

Want to know how to cook asteer on a spit? Ask the peopleat Camp Emsley in Fulford.

Want a first-class open-airmeal? Wangle an invitation totheir next steer roast. Theycalled it steer-on-a-spit. Yearsago it was roasted ox, and itwas always an excellent methodof cooking meat.

Camp Emsley is the SaltSpring Island version of BrownCamps. Youngster who has anyproblem comes to the islandbe helped by the Brown Camand their system.

The Fulford camp is a houseoverlooking Stowel Lake. It hasextensive grounds and outbuild-ings. In charge of the unit isRob Hcrnsby. With a staff ofassistants, all thoroughly soldon the importance and effeci -iveness of what they are doing,the camp offers a home for ab-out 10 youngsters. It is a homein every sense, with the emph-asis all the way of individualresponsibility.

During the past two years thecamp has been a part of theFulford community and manyof the youngsters living atCamp Emseley have madefriends on the island.

That the friends of BrownCamps are numerous was shownwhen the invitations were out.The more than 100 guests gath-ered in the grounds of the campand sat around to chat, to eatand to take part in a sing songat the close of the evening.

The meal was excellent andthe entertainment caught mostguests singing.

very much aware of the strife inUlster today.

Southern Ireland, or Eire, haskept out of the problem, offeredbelligerence to nobody and sust-

enance to the needy, Catholicor Protestant, he observed.

The majority of Irishmenwant to live gently and slowlyand quietly, he asserts. He hashad enough of fighting and theaccompanying tr-igedy.

One thing that burns the IrishGulf Islander is the visitor to hishomeland who expresses surprisethat there should be modernhomes and amenities in thatcountry.

"We were a civilization beforesome of the visitors' countrieswere pupped," he remarks indisgust.

Barefoot, raggedly-trouseredchildren and labor in the bogsare onlv valid today in the im-agination of the visitor, heasserts.

He should know, lie and Mrs.Rayner have been on the islandfor several months now, but Tlink with his native sod is stina heavy one. At Christmas heplans to make a trip to thatgreen isle to take another look.

CENTENNIALCentennials bring celebra-

tions. They also bring lastingmonuments to the passing of theyears when they are presented inthe British Columbian pattern.There is no firmer pattern ofcentennial celebrations in all ofCanada. British Columbia isthe Canadian headquarters ofcentennials.

The 1958 centennial broughtcelebrations and projects. The1966 and 1967 centennial broughtcelebrations and projects. Nowthe 1971 celebrations loom asBritish Columbia stands preparedto mark another, the third, cen-tennial in slightly better than adecade.

The monuments to past mile-stones of achievement are nowpart of the scene.

At Salt Spring Island two mo-numents are to be found. Theyare both in the Ganges commu-nity and both are lasting tributesto the accomplishments of thecentury they mark.

In 1958 the community set upthe centennial library. The Ij-brary on Salt Spring Island is atribute to the century. It is alsoa tribute to the islanders whoworked to bring it into being.

In 1966 and 1967 the islandwent ahead with its park. Cent-ennial Park at Ganges is one ofthe notable accomplishments ofSalt Spring Island, forming partof a project which transformedan ugly mud flat to an attract-ive playground.

A number of projects have al-ready been mooted for the 1971centennial, notably the Drum-mond Park at Fulford and theswimming beach at Vesuvius.

At Gahano a meeting isplanned later this mount to dis-cuss the next celebrations.

The Galiano community pro-vided a well for the communityhall in 1958 as part of the cele-brations. In the 1966^67 eventthe island undertook a novelproject in the construction of alarge relief map at the head ofSturdies Bay to show touriststheir way around the island.

On Mayne Island the problemsof water also struck the sponsorsof a centennial project in 1966and the well is now part of thuscene.

Recent project on Saturna Is-land was the park area at thecommunity hall. Project wasunder the direction of Centenn-ial Chairman Uegon.

Children's playground atNorth Render has not yet beencompleted.

Some islanders are eager totake pact in the new celebra-tions and project. Others, des-pite the efforts of the provinceto encourage a new enthusiasmare inclined to the view that

no one should expect to survivethree centennials in one life-time.

Province will donate $1 percapita towards the cost of acentennial project and celebra-tions if the community willmeet the 60 cents to be devot-ed to a permanent monumentto the occasion. The remain-ing 40 cents requires no match-ing funds from the community.It may be spent on either cele-brations, costs of operation orset towards the cost of the per-manent project.

In case of a community witha population of a few hundredpeople the amount to be real-ized is insufficient to providefor a project of any size.

If any person fears for the fut-ure of Canada or the future ofthe world, he should visit hisfire department to get a freshnew perspective of history andthe future. He will find a kal-eidoscope of human character,energy, resourcefulness, ingen-uity, comedy, pride, dogged-ness, contrariness, sympathy,and boisterousness.

MOUAT'S PARK STOOD UP WELLMouat's Park in Ganges has

stood up well to a busy season,reported T.E.Harcus at lastWednesday's general meetingof the S^lt Spring Island Cham-ber of Commerce.

An adequate water supplyhas been promised for next sea-son, he continued, and he hasbeen assured that a supply ofkindling will be available nextyear. There were many com-plaints during the summer fromcampers who were without mmeans of lighting a campfire.

The government departmentdelivered a load of kindling dur-ing the summer and Gavin Rey-nolds gave a load of wood free,he reported.

There has been a considerableimprovement this year to Max-well Park, reported the parkscommittee chairman.

A black top paved road intothe boat basin at CentennialPark is also on the books thisyear.

Lack of toilet facilities wasdeplored once again.

"Mr. Nickerson reported thatsome people had to go off theisland to find accommodation,"quipped President Gavin Rey-nolds, "I think they had to gooff the island for other purposesas well."

Members heard a confidentreport that provision of toiletfacilities would be undertakenin the near future.

Mr. Marcus reported on thehalf-mill levy imposed in otherparts of the regional district,This levy provides a jackpot forthe purchase of park properties.There is no provision in this le-gislation for park maintenance,which is considered to be a loc-

PLANNING MEETING NOVEMBERWhile islanders are discussing

planning of the islands there isa program of development andurbanization already going on.

Speaking at the regular SaltSpring Island Chamber of Com-merce meeting last week, Hen-ry Schubart suggested that plan-ning is a very difficult business."I have seen many communitiestry to do it," he warned, "Somehave succeeded but many havefailed."

Planning in the past has failedbecause it was failed to consid-er the needs of people, he con-tinued and to a certain extentbecause it has failed to educatepeople into the awareness ofplanning.

Mr. Schubart is a former SanFrancisco architect and planner.He is at present engaged by theUnited States government totake part in the redevelopmentof Juneau in Alaska.

T.E.Harcus noted that it wastimely to consider the nomina-tion of a substitute for DougCavaye who is retiring this yearfrom the Capital Regional Dis-trict.

Gavin Reynolds, president ofthe chamber, was pessimistic.

"The way property prices aregoing," he observed, "Itcouldbe impossible for the averageworking man to own propertyhere because of taxes in 10 or15 years."

c.eott Howland urged thatplanning follow the trends al-ready evident. It should seekto retain the characteristics ofthe island, he added.

"I'm disappointed that therearen't more people from Fulford

KANAKAROAD

Department of highways hasinvestigated the closure of Kan-aka Road in Ganges and has de-cided that it would not be in thepublic interest to close it.

On Tuesday evening trusteesof Gulf Islands School Districtheard the report from deputyminister, H.T.Miard. The lett-er suggested that Mr. Miardwould be prepared to discuss itafter October 4, but no trusteecould figure out the significanceof the date.

School board has not aband-oned the matter. A meeting be-tween the minister and membersof the board will be sought.

D.A.New suggested mat aroad could be constructed alongthe outside of the school proper-ty. Chairman G.M.Heinekeycommented that it would servethree people. His numberswere challenged by Mrs. R. M.Toynbee. Had any check beenmade of the number of peopleusing Kanaka Road? she asked.

It was up to the departmentto carry out such checks, coun-tered J.M.Campbell.

here," he said, "I'm disappoint-ed there aren't more peoplehere."

Alfred Temmell summed upthe picture when he suggestedthat most people come to suchmeetings to say, "Yes, I am in

favor" or "No, I am not in fav-or" and not to speak up.

Island organizations will beinvited to send a spokesman toa planning meeting in Novemb-er in order to name a planningcommittee for the island.
