Mr. &Mrs. Wally Rog-ers of Walker Hook Road,are leaving Salt Spring totake up residence at Tlell,B.C. in the Queen Char-lotte Islands. They haveaccepted a call for helpfrom Mrs. Rogers' brother toassist him in a wide rangeof business enterprises atthat point.

Mr. Rogers will be man-aging a market garden andproduce farm which supplies

fresh vegetables for a grow-ing community while Mrs.Rogers will be in charge ofa coffee shop and store atthe same point.

Old age pensioners know

how to nave a good time al-

right - and they can sing !

, Everyone was fairly sparklingon Tuesday, September 29th,

when Chester Reynolds and

Mrs. Monk rounded up all

hands for fne trip to Port

Alberni .

It was a drizzling morn-

ing, but nor inj dampened

the spirits ol Me people, and

soo^ all seats were filled.

The bus had hardly got

on its way before one of the

passengers whipped out her

harmonica and piped up all

the old tunes-that was Mrs.

Elsie Robb. You sort of don't

expect to see a lady tootling

on a mouth organ but she

did it well too. She kept

things merrily rolling along

most of the way.

The bus stopped at Parks-vilie for coffee. The sun sortof half came out and the rainj,sort of half went in; so al-together we had a fairly fineday.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *ber. One could hardly seethe tree tops up there bask-ing in the sunshine. CameronLake was lovely but lonelylooking. It always looks de-serted to me.

We got to Port Alberniand wandered around untilwe found the Civil DefenceHall. Here the red carpetwas rolled out, so to speak,to welcome us and, bless

'their hearts, the OAP Branch42 of Port Alberni had setup a lunch on a decoratedtable and they wouldn'tcharge us a cent!

Salt Spring took up acollection and handed itover anyway. The good hostsoffered entertainment butmost of the Island gang wantedto see the town, so Chesterdrove them to Woodwards.

Some stayed behind andhad fun with the Albernipeople. The bus left PortAlberni soon after and wevisited Brannan Lake School.There about 125 boys aretrying to get a better view oflife. Some of them have hada rough deal and they landat this correctional school.They learn many trades andmost of them go out on goodjobs eventually. Some don'tmake it. It saddened theparty to see the lost young-sters in that position.

The school is lovely and

D R I F T W O O D P a q e 2well kept up, with modernteaching facilities, beauti-ful rooms and gardens andgood food. But for manyboys, it doesn't take the;place of a good home, whichthey perhaps never knew.Some of the youngsters havenever been so happy or sowell taken care of - othersare too mixed up emotionalyto care. That was the onlysad note in the trip but itgave everyone a better ideatof what the other peoplehave not got that we have.We are very fortunate.

It was a long but wonder-ful day. There wasn't muchwind left in anyone to singmuch on the way home buteveryone just relaxed andenjoyed the drive.

One has to hand it to_the OAPO for this oppor-

tunity for so many people.Mrs. Monk travels up anddown the bus, watchingeveryone like a motherlyhen and she sees that all arecomfortable and perking.If she discovers a birthdaybeing celebrated, she startsall on the Happy Birthdaysong and the celebrant getsthe works. Miss G.C Ham-ilton had a birthday on thatdayso received good wishesfrom the gang.

But J don't think Ches-ter Reynolds will ever get:rich on these trips - whoever thought of going returnfor only $3.50 to Port Al-berni ?

And Chester just grinsand says he likes to seepeople have a good time !

So to the OAPO and to Mrs.Monk, who is a gem theway she hustles, handleslooks after and fusses overher chicks, and to Chesterwho drives so carefully andis so patient, here is a sal-ute from everyone - andfrom Driftwood I

EDITORIALThis is Fire Prevention Week ... a week in which we

are asked to give some thought to the hazards of fire andits consequences around our homes. It is also a week inwhich we think we should give some thought and a wordof sincere thanks to our volunteer firemen whom we knowthrough experience, are the best there is. Through theirefforts we are under the impression that total overall firedamage on this Island is lower than many other compar-able communities.

This however should not lull us into any sense of com-placency. The cost of fire damage in both dollars and in-jury in Canada is one of the highest in the world.

We have noticed a tragic pattern with respect to firethat we can expect to be repeated starting about noweach year and continuing over the winter months . . . .reports in the press of fires from a number of commoncauses in homes all over the country and far too often'involving the death of numbers of families especiallyjyoung children. t

In this pattern of fires it is astonishing to pick out ofthese stories the number of times where the family hasbeen put to bed and the parents have "just gone over tothe neighbours for a few minutes", leaving over-heatedstoves to wreck their havoc. We imagine few people real-ize this kind of neglect is covered by a section of the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor: "Today we have no water- for the third timeduring the six weeks we have lived here the well is near-ly dry.

According to several people who have been here foryears this has not happened before. The little creek thatused to run alongside the garden consists of some muddyholes; again the old timers insist that it was always running,even during the driest summers. Many others tell abouttheir wells and creeks drying up, dry and therefore un-manageable soil on their gardens and fields.

Spring and summer have been exceptionally wet andcold this year, hence a good water supply could reason-ably be expected. Why this failure? I wonder how manyresidents have given some thought to the possible causesof this oddity?

I have during my lifetime watched the sometimes slow,sometimes rapid sinking of the water level in central Eur-ope and signs of it in eastern Canada. I know from

as well as from eye wtnesses that this has happenedand is happening all over the civilized world. Streams,ponds, even small lakes dry out; in large regions the landvalue decreases sharply. In extreme cases it becomes un=inhabitable. The underlying causes are the same every-where - loss of the water retaining humus through mis-management of forests, overgrazing of pastures and inad-equate fertilizing methods; often atoohigh water consump-tion by the population adds to the problem.

Islands are especially vulnerable to abuse because theycannot draw on the larger continental resources.

Property owners on Saltspring might save themselvesvery tangible losses a few years hence if they gave someconstructive thought to the water situation and relatedproblems now. " (Signed) A. Temmel.

D R I F T W O O D P a g e 4BOAT'S-EYE-VIEW OF

SALTSPRING ISLANDby the Second Mate.

(Concluded from last week)On the rocky slope past

the Lodge where formerly theold Farmer house reigned a-lone, the new abodes on theRichardson sub-divisionspring up in fast array. TinyEcho Bay which only a fewshort years ago enfolded it-self in solitude now has theRichardson's own handsomenew home at its head and ahouse on the point. In DuckBay several small ooats ridequietly at anchor.

Just this side of ParminterPoint is the very beautifulwaterfront property which oe-. longed for so many years tothe late Bishop Wilson withits own private boat-dock &beach. Parminter Point wasnamed after the Rev. HenryParminter, Chaplain to HMS"Ganges". The charmingQuinton residence graces thepoint and 'Antoinettes Folly"(the flag-pole) rises straightand white and true. This is awonderful landmark for sea-farers as it can be seen rightacross the Stuart Channel fromOsborne Bay and the ShoalIslands. |

From Parminter Point on,the waterfront, which tenyears ago knew on I y the Nap-per's house standing in soli-tary seclusion, is lined withnew homes; one of them asummet house of PremierBennett's. This is Sunset ,Dr.and is well named. It "looksout over the whispering tree-tops, And faces the settingsun. "

We are in Houston Pas-sage now and steering forSouthey Bay. A few olderhomes can be discerned onthe shoreline - the quaintlog-house which blends soperfectly with its surround-ings; itwas built for GilbertMouat and is still kept in thefamily. On the promontorythis side of Southey Bay isthe house that was Will Daw-son's (author of "CoastalCruising, Ahoy There, " andmany other tales of the westcoasf. T

Picturesque Southey Bayis now literally lined withdwellings. At high tide wecan tie up to the Hardy'sprivate dock, their house andthe Haywardsweretwoof thefirst in the Day.
