NO REFERENDUM. Shift system may be in operation by next fall in Salt Spring Islan(jschools, commented George Heinekey, chairman of Gulf IslandsSchool District on Tuesday evening. Mr. Heinekey was speakingJ»f the ban announced by the provincial government on school ref-erenda in the province. Province announced that no school referen-dum will be permitted on December 6 at municipal elections. Theaction has be*n taken in an effort to combat inflation.

Mr. Heinekey explained that he could make no firm commitment until the board had met.

New elementary school for Salt Spring Island was planned fornext year, with the referendum being presented in December. Theprovincial government will accept school building as a requirementneeded in emergency

Land developers hit heavilyby the current ban on subdivisionof Gulf Island properties are ask-ing for relief.

The ban prohibits registrationof subdivisions of lot size under10 acres.

building program on Salt SpringIsland has been imposed by theapproaching winter.

First halfof the road hardsur-facing has akeady been under-taken. Vesuvius Bay Road, Up-per Ganges Road, Robinson Road.Lower Ganges Road and Fulford-Ganges Road have all been sub-jected to the asphalt paving ma-chine .

Burgoyne Valley has seen thecloud of smoke arising from theasphalt plant on Isabella Roadand island roads have been pun-ctuated by heavy trucks haulingblacktop to the site.

At the week end the bargewith its 18 railway cars wastowed away from Ganges and isnot scheduled to return untilMarch, when the remainder ofthe road job will be completed.

Still progressing is the cuttingof ditches and roadside alongthe route of Fulford-GangesRoad.

Two sections of the road willremain unfinished until spring.These are the sites of the" humps"at Garner Road and at ChurchRoad in Ganges.

Mr. and Mrs. S.Gilman wholive on the corner of ChurchRoad and Lower Ganges .Road,have been sharply critical ofthe repairs to the road outsidetheir home. After 10 months ofschool building they have beensubjected to the noise and dis-comfort of road clearing andblasting, Mrs. Gilman toldDRIFTWOOD.

The couple both feel that theproject should better have beenleft until spring. Condition ofthe section of road between Ro-binson Road and Mahon Hall islikely to remain muddy and ha-zardous through the winter, Mrs.Gilman stated.

PREACHER MAYSEEK ELECTIONTO SCHOOL BOARD

Change in the Schools Actprovides for the election of aclergyman to a school board. Inpast years members of the cleigyhave not been eligible.

The change affects some min-isters among the islands, notab-ly those who have retired a cand-idate must own property in thedistrict.

Further voice was added to thepleas of developers last weekwhen the Gulf Islands Joint Coun-cil approved a resolution fromGaliano asking for a schedule ofclosure and an indication of whatmay be expected in the near fu-ture.

The Joint Council also askedthat islanders be given a voicewhen community plans are prep-ared for the islands.

In its resolution to the ministerthe council refers to the unem-ployment which has resulted frorrsubdivision restrictions, as wellas the hardship suffered by localresidents who have invested heav-ily in construction equipmentleft idle.

Last week John Tisdalle, MLAfor the Islands told DRIFTWOODthat he was receiving pleas forhelp from islanders whose fami-lies were thrown out of work.

Mr. Tisdalle explained that hewas not in sympathy with theminister's action and that landdevelopment could have been alucrative business among the is-lands for many years had no res-trictions been imposed.

Biggest sufferer here is the de-veloper. Many land developershave invested borrowed moneyin subdivision projects. Theyhave borrowed for short terms athigh rates of interest. The cur-rent restriction has been im-posed for a period of one year,but the introduction of commu-nity planning on the islands,with outlined plans for develop-ment could terminate the 12-month stay.

Investors whose projects havealready received governmentalapproval may proceed to selltheir lots. Those developerswhose plans have not been app-

A tree lives on Pender.It is the Pearson Care Tree

and it is lighted each year byGeorge Pearson in token of dona-tions made to him on behalf ofCARE.

On December 15 the lightswill go on and the Care Treewill shine across the Gulf watersin a salute to those who havemade life a degree more pleas-ant for the needy.

Last week Mr. Pearson wassending out his letters. Everycontributor from past years isurged to keep up his Christmasgiving.

The tree is illuninated bylamp bulbs, each bulb represent-ing one gift. "I am lighting ourCARE Tree once again on Dec-ember 15 to show the world thatwe do care," writes Mr. Pearson

Each dollar received purchas-es 27 pounds of food for someperson or family in need.

Every dollar sent to the Pear-son CARE fund is devoted entire-ly to the CARE. No deductionsare made by Mr. Pearson.

In 1960, when the campaignfirst started, Mr. Pearson coll-

ected $102.50 to provide a totalof 2,244 pounds of food. ByChristmas, 1968 the donationsamounted to $1,080 and purch-ased 29,160 poflnds of neededfood.

THERE'S NO PROFITThere's no profit in educating

adults.Last week trustees of Gulf Is-

lands School District learnedthat the adult education programor night school classes, is $750in the red and will be about$1, 000 on the wrong side of theledger by the end of the year.

Question posed to trustees wassimple: "Do we continue withadult education?"

Feeling of the trustees inSeptember was that the projectshould carry itself, recalledChairman C.M. Heinekey. Ithad not lived up to expectations

In previous years the salary of

the night school director hasbeen charged to salaries. Thisyear the department of educa-tion has ruled that it may not beincluded in that category.

Mrs. Barbara Toynbee sugges-ted that where an instructorserved without pay no fee wascharged to the student. Yet thecosts of operation were still tobe met.

She felt that a fee should belevied irrespective of the rem-uneration paid to instructors.

Special meeting of the adulteducation committee will dis-cuss die future of night schoolin the island schools.

Immediate rise in prices ofproperties among the islands wasanticipated by many observerswhen the new regulation cameinto force. The rise has not yetshown itself, DRIFTWOODlearned this week. First reac-tion was a busy sale of lots al-ready available. Real estatesales have been heavier thisyear at this time than is usual.

This week the report of theCapital Region Planning Boardis expected. The board hasbeen carrying out a survey ofthe Gulf Islands in terms of com-munity planning.

The report will bring forwardthe preliminary proposals for asystem of land use control aimedto preserving the distinctive na-ture of the Gulf Islands.

Public hearing will follow am-ong the islands, when islanderswill enjoy the opportunity of ex-pressing an opinion. No comm-unity plan may be imposed with-out a public hearing.

In the meantime the Gulf Is-lands are officially designatedCommunity Planning Area No.24. The planning function ofthe islands will pass into thehands of the Capital RegionalDistrict as soon as the regionaldistrict gains authority from theprovince to engage in communi-ty planning.

On Salt Spring Island delegat-es from various community org-anizations will be invited to ex-press an opinion on the futuredevelopment and needs of theisland when the planning comm-ittee is launched by the SaltSpring Island Chamber of Com-merce.

Delegates will meet in theLegion Hall at 8 p.m. on Wed-nesday, Nov. 26.

IS IT INFLEXIBLE?

Planning, in the vocabulary of the provincial legis-

lature means an expression of policy for any use or

uses of land, including surfaces of water or the pattern

of subdivision of land.

Planning has been sought by residents of the Gulf Is-

lands for many months. The machinery was already in

motion to bring it into force. Capital Region Planning

Board has carried out a survey of the islands and its re-

port will be submitted this week to the regional district

The minister of municipal affairs anticipated the re-port by a month when he invoked a provincial law oflong standing. Even without his ban on subdivision,planning was merely weeks away.

Supporters of the minister's policies contend that noone has the right to do as he will with land in the com-munity, without prior approval of the community. Op-ponents of community planning will always contendthat the owner of the land must be able to do with it ashe pleases.

On the islands there are many individuals and associ-ations whose occupation has been land developer.Someare establishing subdivisions on their own propertywhile others are acquiring land for the same purpose.Planning will exert a tight control on subdivision andeach such development will be required to conform tothe overall picture.

Many engaged in land development at the presenttime are faced with a serious financial problem. Theyhave purchased land on credit at high interest rates.The moratorium on subdivisions has left them owinglarge sums of money and without means of raising thefunds they had expected from the sale of building lots.

The minister has been urged to make some retroactive

provision for such cases. The plea is not without justice

It may be argued that some were less than wise in going

ahead while aware of the concern of islanders for plan-

ning. Nevertheless, they went into the project when

neither community regulation nor provincial law prohi-

bited it. It is a harsh regulation that cuts off a legiti -

mate endeavour without warning. It is a harsher onethat cannot be modified.

Let us have controls. Let us plan our communities,

but let us not model our community on the ruins of an-

other man's dream.,

LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR

KANAKA KOAH

Editor, Priftwood,1 was very sorry and somewhat

surprised to note th;it ;ipp;irentlytilt.' trustees of Gulf IslandsSchool District arc again urgingthe closing of Kanaka Road.' Twas certainly under the beliefthat interested officials of the

.'tighways .Department had def-initely decided against takingsuch action which would clos'e av i t a l and important access link.Such a move would not onlyprivean inconvenience to near-by residents but would in addi-tion cause a bottleneck and con-gestion on Church Road.

1 here does not appear to be

any good or valid reason for closing this road when it is realizedthat practically all those stud-ents in elementary and second-ary classes come through MahonHall grounds when going to orcoming from the business centrein Ganges. I would hope thatthe present situation, which inmy opinion is quite satisfactory,should remain in effect and thatwe may leave well alone.

-W.M.Mouat, Ganges,November 17, 19C9.

FOR A SEASON?

Editor, Driftwood,There is an old proverb "God

will not enquire of thy birth,nor will Me ask thy creed. Al-one He will ask: "What hastthou done with the land I loanedtliec for a season?"

Now is the time to take stockand consider carefully the land"loaned to us for a season".

Matter may be considered in-destructible but our natural re-sources cannot by any reasoningbe considered inexhaustible.Wise planning can prevent atragedy such as that of threethousand years ago when KingSolomon sent SO, 000 hewers ofwood into the mountains for logs.Promoters said the cedars of Le-banon would last forever. Therewas nothing to fear by cuttingfreely. Recent estimates placethe remaining trees of that high-ly-prized species at about 400,these mostly above the (>, 000-foot level of the Lebanon Mount-ain?.

Nations, now wiser and poorersee the errors in reckless andwasteful use - too late!

People of modern times app-ear to have little better consci-ence toward resources. Mangives respectability to such ex-ploits by calling it development.Conservationists are looked uponwith a jaundiced eye. Conser-vat ion is largely a matter ofmorals. A man who deliberate-ly causes human hardsh ip andpoverty for sake of gain is calleda knave and a sinner. Is manany less a knave and a sinner ifby greed or carelessness he r isksd e p r i v i n g succeeding generation.*of rhc-ir r ightful heritage?

An aged I n d i a n is reported tohave sa'id when whi te men rusluvto stake uranium c l a i m s in h i spart of the country; "Whi te manconic long ago and take all thebeaver furs and other furs: comeback and bui ld sawmil l and takeall the big trees: come backst i l l l a t e r ' and bu i ld a pulp mi l land take all the small trees:now lie comes back again totake the rocks".

Achievement in rapid devel-opment in North America res-ources would appear to be ahigh price in waste.

History may have very harshwords about the present genera-tion. Prospects for our grand-children and great grandchildrenare by no means certain. Mana-ging resources so they will con-tinue to support the human fam-ily should be truly cultivated.This in contrast to exploitationmerely for the sake of becomingrich quickly. We should recog-nize our responsibilities to thegenerations yet unborn.

Man is so very egocentric "hewants what he wants when hewants it" . People with fore-sight it is to be hoped, will de-mand the "renewing of the re-newables" for when a man de-stroys his land he begins to de-stroy himself.

:Ada Ryan, Ganges,November 9, 1969.

HE WORKED FOR GANGES

Editor, Driftwood,I believe in the individual

septic tank system as the mostsatisfactory where suitable soilconditions exist. Ganges won'tmake it unfortunately. Let's bemore realistic about the comm-unity of Ganges than to criticizeCharlie Horel for doing his bestto encourage installing an acc-eptable 2 stage sewage disposal.

Why septic tanks have failedin Ganges? In many casesthere is no percolation, or evenflooding of septic tank fields.Lots are too small, inadequatesystems to start with in an^reaof older homes and liny lots.

Mr. Horel deserves a medal

for recognizing the healthyneeds ofthe community and forhis campaign for sewage dispo-sal for Ganges. Though he didnot succeed, it was a good eff-ort.

If there was a more positiveapproach to basic problems ev-eryone would benefit.

Criticism is fine in its place,but to be qualified, should beconstructive and helpful.

I live on McPhillips Avenueon Ganges and I am not pleasedwith conditions as they are andsomething should be done.

The first to come in were twolittle girls, eyes sparkling, curlsbobbing. They were LorettaDodds and Lynn Palmer dressedin two-piece slim suits, redvest and trousers bright againstwhite blouse with queen-sizedbow, and brown trousers withwhite sweater and big, attract-ive print tie.

Hand-in-hand, they bravelywalked the aisle to show visitorswhat the "well-dressed younglady" could be wearing todayon Salt Spring Island.

Lynn and Loretta were follow-ed by Nicola Toynbee.

next guest. She was ready for agame of golf, clad in a checkedvest and pleated checked skirt,orange long-sleeved pullover tomatch one color of the check,navy knee-high socks to matchthe other color, and comfortableorange hush puppies to completethe outfit. This pure wool golfensemble was styled by HighlandQueen .

Ready for work, guests, or atrip to Europe, Mrs. Fred Ander-son entered, clad in a becomingthree-piece suit of forest green.The pullover, with high neck-line and long sleeves, and ma-tching slims made a versatileand fashionable outfit. The ho-stess informed us that the slims,sweater, and matching skirt canbe bought separately.

Straight from Paris, Montreal,or Mouat's came the outfit wornby Mrs. Spencer Marr. Herthree-quarter length coat of fun-fur long-hair silver-grey Borgworn over a green slim suit wasvery effective. When she tookoff the coat, the audience couldadmire the straight-cut slims,turtle neck pullover, and stripedvest.

The final model in this groupof practical and high-style out-fits was Mrs. L. A. Summers. Herthree-piece ensemble of fortreland wool, rich red with goldbuttons, long tunic jacket andstraight skirt, very smart andyet able to take hard wear,made the audience wonderwhere its wearer planned to tra-vel, Norway and Scotland, per-haps? Over her arm Mrs. Sum-mers carried slims, straight-cutto give the effect of bell bottomwhich could be worn instead ofthe skirt.

During the evening the mod-els appeared in a variety ofdresses for many occasions.

This fashion show had beenplanned by Mrs. Dick Toynbee

Mayne in 1930. There are shewn two Scoc

of Mouat's and the NoranliteUnit of the United Church Wo-men under the convenership ofMrs. Charles Baseley. The flo-wers were the gift of Gulf IslandFlorists, the model's hair styl-ings were by Mrs. Noren of theRainbow Beauty Shop; soft mus-ic was provided by Douglas andSteven Anderson; and the publicaddress system was loaned andserviced by David Parsons.

DATING BACK TO DEDICATIONCEREMONY IN 1931

oones, Mr. Aldridge and Mr. Hume.

almost no knowledge of English.They have become thoroughlyfamiliar with colloquial Englishduring their long stay among theislands.

Danger with the modernyouthful culture is that many ahead may end up a deadhead.

It's a long way to old Quebec,but the more they press for sep-aration the more convinced webecome, in the west, that itmight be a good idea.

Traffic toll of Patricia BayHighway, running from SwartzBay ferry into Victoria, hasbeen high. Last month, accord'ing to the Sidney Review, thetoll amounted to two dead, 11injured and nine wrecks. Nowthe highway has been reconstru-cted with the dangerous three-lane pattern we should see someaction... one way or another.

For the "Old Sweat" "Bowand Arrow Soldier", I believe,to our younger "Old Sweats",this was the 51st time we hadgone back in our mind's eye tothe "Cease Fire", and the app-alling silence that followed it.

The noise of the coal box,minnie and MG would becomea memory; no more that head-first dive into the first availableshell hole to dodge the scrap ir-on from a bursting nine-two.

A phase in our lives was over,a phase which so many of ourcomrades finished before thateleventh hour. We must rem-ember them.

So many had kid down theirlives that we survivors mightlive to carry on the conflict.All had died for others, that theway of life we held dear mightsurvive.

Such were the thoughts ofmembers of branch 84, as theyparaded at the Lych Gate'at St.Mary Magdalen's Church, wherePresident Jack Hayhurst laid awreath in the name of the bran-ch, and in -honor of the fallenfrom the Gulf Islands, and later,at the Saturna Island hall for ourannual Church Parade.

There was a rather better thanusual turn-out this year. Theparade service at Saturna wasconducted by Rev. J.DangerfieldM.B.E., one of our branch Cha-

in which to live, and this typeof service the veteran could givein many cases far better thanothers, for he was only too wellacquainted with the horror andrawness of modern warfare.

Following the parade service,Past President's medals werepresented to C.M,Barren, andHugh MacFarlane, by LarryFieldhouse, himself a Past Zoneand Branch President.

The rest of the day was devot-ed to a sing-song and talks am-ongst ourselves. The songs weremostly of an older vintage, themarching songs of the first war,and the talk, so little of itconcerning wars.

Once again we must thank theladies of Saturna for their cook-house fatigue, and Mrs. W. War-low for her untiring work at thepiano, particularly as neither ofher usual reliefs were able to bewith us this year.

Finally, a word about theLych Gate, which the writer haseven heard called "The LynchGate". Both words have refer-ence to death, but in widelydifferent connotations.

Originally, the Lych Gate(or Lykegate) was the placewhere the body of the deceasedwas received before being takeninto the church for RequiemMass. Hence it is peculiarlyappropriate as a war memorial.

The prime mover in its con-struction was the late PaulScoones, who took the designfrom an old Lych Gate of anEnglish parish church.

The lettering was done bythe late Comrade Holgate, andthe M emorial was dedicated in1931.

It is in honor of all the fallenof the First War from the fourGulf Islands, for at that timeFender Island was an integralpart of the area of Branch 84.Later, by resolution, its scopewas extended to include thosewho were killed in the SecondWar.

A Beaver came to live on theRees farm, down near the oldZala place, three years ago, andalthough Mr. and Mrs. JohnRees were not very pleased ab-out his being there, he seemedto be hapoy in that corner of thefield.

Last week, Mr. Beaver decH-ed to change his abode, may- ^because he now has a mate, ormaybe just because that is hisnature. First thing they knewtrees were cut down, and therewas a huge dam,right in the mi-ddle of the main stream of whatis known as Donald New's creek.

The creek meanders down thebig mountain, through Mr. New*!property, thence across the road,and through the big field, onthe western side of the farm. Atleast it always did.

Even though Mr. Rees had amachine clean out the creek ancthe dam, now, this weekend,there are more dams, and we allknow that beavers will keep onbuilding, and building, andbuilding.

One alder tree that has beencut down, is at least two feetthrough, and several more arequite large.

How long will the patientRees family tolerate the engin-eering of their beavers?

27 Hours On Water In Small BoatFishing party from Salt Spring

Island came home recently with'out any fish. They were luckyto get home at all.

The fishing jaunt was plannedfor a few hours. It ended 27hours after they set out and ma-ny miles down the coast.

The fish weren't biting thatday. The fishermen sat Dack toshelter from the cold breezewhile eating a small snack. Itwas their last meal for manyhours. Content to drift whilethey ate, they cut the motor.

Come time to start, the motor

was reluctant. The battery wasflat before the fishermen wereconvinced. None was a mech-anic and the mysteries of the in-ternal combustion engine rem-ained unknown.

Two batteries were exhaustedbefore it became evident thatthe motor was not destined tostart. Darkness was approachingand the little boat was steadilyfloating along with the current.Without food or shelter, thewould-be-fishermen were in adangerous plight.

All night long they drifted un-

LL..ARY GRANT

BUDGET IS PAREDGulf Islands schools budget

was discussed in open boardmeeting on Wednesday eveninglast week while a number of is-landers sat in to hear the debate

Budget had already been ten-tatively prepared and the meet-ing merely gave approval orcalled for change of specific it-ems in the lists.

First to go was $500 for land-scaping at the courtyard of thehigh school at Ganges. Theground is completely naturaland it would be undesirable toadd or to remove anything fromit, trustees agreed.

When an allocation of $750was listed towards the servicesof psychiatrists, psychologistand psychometrist, R.M.Patter-son equired whether this wasnot an expense more properlyto be met by the parents.

The superintendent, R.S. Priceagreed. There are occasionswhen "you have to move prettyfast, "he noted. Sometimes theparents can't afford it because apatient cannot be referred to

such specialists, he explained.Is an overhead projector ne-

cessary in the smaller outer is-land schools?

The budget listed one foreach. It still does.

The use of an overhead proj-ector would probably work near-ly as well as a direct lessonfrom the teacher, suggested J.MCampbell.

He pointed out that an over-head projector enables the tea-cher to project pictures and oth-er material on to the wall be-hind him in order that he mayface the class while teaching.In a full-sized classroom it is avaluable aid to teaching, agreedMr. Campbell. In a classroomwith 13 students, ranging fromgrade one to grade eight, itsvalue is open to some question,pursued the speaker, because themethod of teaching in such cas-es is to move from one group oftwo or three to another of thesame size. The overhead proj-ector would only be of valuewhen the whole room is studying

til the following day they attrac-ted the attention of a UnitedStates freighter bound for SanFrancisco. The ship had clearedcustoms and could not put intoport. Nevertheless, the skippertowed the small vessel towardsSidney and attracted the atten-tion of another small boat. Lat-er they arrived at Swartz Bay,cold, hungry and desperate.

the same subject, he asserted.Mr. Campbell proposed a re-

solution reducing t h e numberof overhead projectors to one.He gained no seconder. C. W.Hatch then moved that no proj-ectors be purchased at all. Themotion was defeated.

There was a suggestion thatan old projector is in storage atMayne Island school but no oneknew for sure.

Automatic washer and drierfor the home economics roomwas quickly scotched. Saturna'sJim Campbell jumped on the it-em. An expenditure of $600 toteach children to press buttonsis out of reason, he argued.

Mr. Campbell, who has tour-ed the North American continerton several occasions to speak oneducation administration, repor-

ted that at Terrace the highschool is provided with a $10, 000motel room in order to teach stu-

ROTARIANS SPONSORMONITORING DEVICE

Salt Spring Island Rotary Clubhas sponsored the acquisition ofa heart monitoring device forthe Lady Minto Gulf Islands Hos-pital. The machine records theheart action of the patient andsounds an alarm if the patientundergoes a variation in theheart neat which calls for emer-gency action.

The heart monitor beats inharmony with the heart. It alsorecords the action of the heartwhenever an emergency arises.

The choice of equipment willprobably be made this week ac-cording to Hospital Administra-tor Harold Hoffman. A numberof machines will be at the hosp-ital for demonstration purposesthis week.

The hospital officials havediscussed the need for a heartmonitoring unit for manymonths. Essentially for cases ofcoronary attack, the monitorprovides a greater degree ofcare for the stricken.

"If we admit patients sufferirgfrom coronary attacks we should

chose. Witu local news you'reon your toes, in your pastoral,pensive, prose. "A rose is arose is a rose" ? No overtones ofGertrude Stein, but breezy asan East Point pine, with flavorof a good port wine.

Frequent and friendly fun youpoke, with jestful japery andjoke, at all your fine Saturnafolk! You can mix wisdom, witand corn, as if to the McMah-onner born. One recognizessavoir-faire, lurking behind thenom de guerre. No gloom nordoomj your wit may zoom, highflying, with a nom de plume.

Our copy, us guys, have tosift good, before sending it toDRIFTWOOD. One can hopethere'll be no schism, due to aMcMahonnerishm, that elatessome; some underrate; causingthe nerve-ends to vibrate, of theirate sophisticate; but pleasesthe alliterate!

be equipped to offer the bestpossible care," explained theadministrator.

The service club is staging astag party for the Grey Cupgame as its first campaign toraise funds for the machine.

To the uninitiated, the heartmonitor is a familiar sight intelevision scenes of operatingrooms. The viewer's attentionis regularly drawn to the dialwith its pulsating light and faintbeep in harmony with the heartbeat.

When the patient is connectedup with the machine it calls forhelp at any sharp irregularity ofthe heart and automatically re-cords the pulse pattern at suchtimes.
