NEWS FROM SALTSPRINGHIGH

by Colin Booth.Teachers and students

alike were saddened to hearof the passing of Mrs. G.Surge,who has taught schoolon Saltspringsince 1955.Mrs.

kBurge contributed much tothe school in the time shespent here. She was knownall over Saltspring for themany Christmas concerts andmusicals which her variousclasses produced under herable direction. She will besadly missed and long re-membered by the many stud-ents who have filled herclassroom.

The first school dance oftheyearwas held on Friday,October 11th. It has beencalled the biggest, and mostsuccessful dance the schoolhas ever seen. Grades Eightto 12 attended and close toone hundred students werepresent. Under the inspiringdirection of the StudentCouncil this was the firstdance to show a profit inmany years. Music was pro-vided by a five piece bandfrom Victoria. The Council'sdecision to admit gradeEights to the school danceshas proved, so far, to be awise one. Teacher sponsorswere Mrs. F. Hepburn andMr. F. Byron.

Soccer has been verypopular in the School thisyear, with the team showinggreat improvement over otheryears and good prospects for

24 th , 1963 D R I F

the future. The driving forceresponsible for the success ofthe team is Mr. F .Byron, whoseable coaching should leadthe team on to future victory.

Watch for the annualschool Bazaarnival onDecember 6th.

EDITORIALBoth the Gulf Islands School Board and the Board of the

Lady Minto Gulf Islands Hospital have sent requests to theB.C.Ferry Authority requesting that consideration be givento an adjusted schedule to facilitate travel between theother Islands and Salt Spring Island.

The new "Queen "gives excel lent service between Gali-ano,Mayne and Saltspring Islands as well as to the mainland.But for those living on Pender or Saturna it is a -half day jour-ney tocometo Ganges,the centre not only of their hospital,their school, & their bank but ako the only B.C. Governmentliquor store in the Gulf Islands. Now, we may feel that be-cause of the wonderful balmy air on the Islands people won'tget sick;and since grampa managed with an elementary schooleducation and made a success of his life, little Johnny cando the same; and there are still socks and mattresses to storethat hoard of cash; but even the brewers of home made beerand the makers of home made wines can't get along foreverwithout access to the local grog shop. What with ferry trans-fers - a half day to get here and a half day to get back home-taxi or bus fares to ferries -a bottle can cost a I most a month'swages.

Unfortunately some people do get sick, even in the GulfIsland. Kids seem to do better in our world with a bit of booklarnin1. And the bank, in this modern world, is almost asnecessary as shelter (in fact sometimes it is responsible forsuch shelter as we have). Since the people on Pender andSaturna pay their share of taxes to maintain school and hospi-tal services in the Gulf Islands,certainly they should be ableto have reasonable access to them.

Perhaps the most desirable end product of a re-schedulingof ferry services would be that hospitalized persons could bevisited regularly by their friends and relatives.

CONTRIBUTORS COLUMNNO KEY TO THE PROBLEM!

"DRIFTWOOD" has drawn attention in the past to thefact that it is illegal for a driver to leave his ignition keyin the car and the following macabre but true story mayserve to illustrate the perils of neglecting to observe this

elementary precaution.In the last week of August, an English family consisting

of father, mother, a boy aged 8 and an elderly aunt wen^)^a motoring vacation in Spain. One night, circumstancescompelled them to camp in a wild and desolate area. Nextmorning, they were shocked and grieved to find aunty haddied. It was a most unenviable predicament with which tobe faced in a foreigh country. Father wanted to go to thenearest village to fetch a doctor but mother refused to stayalone becauseof the proximity of a gipsy encampment.Theyadopted the only course open to them and wrapping the bodyin their tent, placed ft on the roof of their small Europeancar.

On arrival at the village, father found there was nodoctor within milesandno mortuary. In addition, the localauthorities, though courteous, were uninterested. Fatherdecided, therefore, to drive over rough mountain roads andthrough the blistering heat to the nearest city, many milesaway, where there was a British Consul. He reported thetragedy and the Consul and staff proved most helpful"Leave everything to us and don't worry further, we'll seeto it all". Unfortunately, when they went out to deal withthe body, the car had gone, stolen. Neither the car noraunty has been heard of since! Eric A. Roberts.

The following letter was received by DRIFTWOOD fromMrs. E. C. Sinclair, former Salt Spring and Saturna Islandteacher who is now in charge of the school at ShekatikaBay, Duplessis County, Quebec:"Dear Editor; I am now residing at theabove address, themost lonely and isolated fishing community on the NorthShore of the St. Lawrence, often termed Quebec Labrador.

The bay is verv lovely with rough hills surrounding thehorseshoe-shaped bay.Trees of fir and spruce variety add tothe charm, but the trees are stunted, twisted and gnarleddue to weather and the terrain.

This little community boasts six families, four withchildren. There are thirteen pre-school children and thir-teen attending school. The total population is 41 persons.Only one father can read and write.

There are many nights like tonight -absolute solitude.One needs inward resources to live so much with oneself.But my little world has illness, sorrow, romance, poverty,friendship; the same as one would find in the great worldoutside. Yes, and dire tragedy, too.

Since my arrival here in September, I have treatedeight cases of infection; prescribed for six cases of mumps;dressed cuts, etc. Now I am preparing telegrams to have aplane call here so I may take five of my school children tothe hospital at Lourdes de Blanc Sablon for treatment andconsultative aid. One child is deaf; another has kidneytrouble; a third is a cripple, weak and under-sized; a foiWhsuffers from headaches, and the fifth has marked debil/j^TMy little brood and I hope to take to the air shortly,withapproval of Department of Education, Quebec.

So many ask me: Why do I go to such a small out-of-the-way community? Now there isn't even a post office. Wedepend on local or transient boats going and coming to andfrom St. Augustine.With what eagerness,Thanksgiving Eve,I received letters, papers, and magazines. I read and re-

^read, and then did it over again-contact-sfrom the big worldoutside! Among the papers were five copies of "DRIFTWOOD".These were reserved for perusal Thanksgiving night. Why go?... .Because there was no one else who would go.

Here, I am (Anglican)deaconess and lay readerSaturday mornings I have play school with an enrolment of

T h u r s d a y , O c t o b e r 24 th , 1963 D R I F' LETTER(contd. from p.4)nine.How they love to come! They especially like the timefor cookies and milk..... I am always glad when the mailbrings in the unexpected packet of cookies for my children.

-Sunday morning I have general Sunday School... .afterdinner! have Bible class, and finally Evensong.

There are six women here. They and myself are the W.- A. we meet in the teacherage once a week. Just now we

are making a crib spread to send to the hospital at LourdesBlanc Sablpn. Twice a month we make layettes for the

J Cross.For five years there has been no school inspector on the

Coast. This fall, Inspector M. Baldwin has been five weeksmaking a survey of needs,etc. He told me he would be 1 1/2days here at Shekatika (we sailed from Quebec on the samecoastal freighter). Finally he arrived at 11:25 a.m. on aTuesday. At 12 o'clock it was a great rush to get dinner forhimand myself and be back in the class room at one o'clock.Then to my surprise and disappointment he said if he couldhire a boat he would proceed westward. At 1:15 p.m. wesaid "good-bye" and five minutes later he was en route toSt. Augustine - sixteen miles away, our nearest store andpost office.

, We were thrilled when the Mission Boat anchored. Itmeant bur beloved Bishop had come for confirmation. Thatafternoon we had early supper for the babies and little folkso we could concentrate on our adult community. We serveda Labrador1 dinner: Soup - made with fresh turnip greens,saltbeef and rice; main course - wild birds with vegetables;dessert - local *berry pies (three kinds). We did enjoythis.The confirmation candidates dined with the Bishop and foronce were awed and subdued.

.... .Visitations are over, and we settle into a more orless monotonous routine. My nearest neighbour, who so verywell looks after my dwelling (two rooms; fell and seriouslytwisted her knee.A plane took her to hospital.. .This leavesme with added work and much more alone.

To those who write to me; to those who think of me andpray for me, my sincere and grateful thanks. In closing -"Hello" to Salt Spring and Saturna Islands." Edna C.Sinclair.

though the idea still remained that spirits full of mischief £".;' Ke'ow™ an^ Mr* &

roamed at large. Sod Al^tMaybe the Irish, from whom our Canadian version of ^ ' ,

Hallowe'en was approplated, could see these weird spirits.But people in this country couldn't.

In their place, more substantial little ^people — thuchildren — began dressing up and going from door to door tendeci /he ceremony*.begging appeasement or they would cause trouble. « * * * * *.*..*.*_jL£ *

In many parts of Canada,-notably British Columbia andparts of the Maritime provinces, the setting off of fireworksis synonymous with the celebration of Hallowe'en.

This is an opportunity for parents to fascinate the young-sters with a thrilling display of fireworks. But they shouldremember that children should not participate in the actualfiring of the pieces. With the single exception of sparklers,no fireworks manufactured in Canada are designed to beheld in the hand.

Before firing the Hallowe'en display, parents shouldread the printed instruction? on each firework, keeping inmind that the firing local ion should be clear of overheadobstructions, ' f-es or wi;

Two buckets or boxes of sand, set about ten feet apart,should be used as the firing bases. Items such as RomanCandles, and other long pieces should be buried at least<'--H ;n in the sand and set at a 10 degree angle away

n spectators. Spectators should be situated on one side,at least 20 feet a way from the firing location.

A large cofua!n«f, suclvas.-vj metal garbage can, shouldvailabie to dispose of used fireworks.. When the display

ver, there items can be sprinkled with a garden hose*g cigaret or cigar makes a good igniter. Hold(,

it ot arm's length, apply to the wick and stand clear immed-iately.

Parents should also make sure that children's costumes areflameproof and light colored enough for drivers to see easily.

Paint false faces on children, using cosmetics and burntcork instead of masks which obstruct vision.
