Copy 10<|: ISLANDERS PROTEST SEWAGE APPEAL TO CABINET Final appeal of Salt Spring Is- _/ders against the discharge of partially treated sewage into Trincomali Channel will be heard on Monday. The opponents of the applica- tion by Maliview Estates Ltd. for Name Your Project For 1971 Ball started rolling last week for the 1971 centennial project on Salt Spring Island. Centen- nial committee decided on Wed- nexday evening to invite the community to choose its project. Salt Spring Islanders are invi- ted to offer suggestions to the committee. These proposals may come from individuals or from island organizations. Only snag is that the propos- er must be prepared :.o support his proposal at a public meeting when all projects will be dis- cussed. Two projects have already been mooted. Drummond Park at Fulfocd and swimming facili- ties at Vesuvius Bay. SHOTS ARE REPORTED AFTER NIGHTFALL ON SALT SPRING Reports have been heard during past weeks of firing shots after dusk or before dawn. No hunting is permitted be- tween sundown and sunrise. There is margin of one half- hour. From one half-hour after sunset until one half-hour be- fore sunrise, shooting is out. Residents who hear shots should check the time carefully before making a report. Hunters are still responsible to handle their firearms in such a manner as to cause danger to neither person nor property even within the shooting period. permission to discharge the eff- luent from about 80 lots into the sea already appeared before the Pollution Control Board to exp- ress their opposition and to ask for a lifting of the permit al- ready granted. That appeal was unsuccessful in that the board made certain technical changes to the permit but failed to cancel it. Present appeal to the Cabinet is made by the same opponents still seek- ing to have the permit quashed. Opponents will appear before the Cabinet in Victoria on Wed- nesday, Oct. 29. Number of Salt Spring Island opponents of the scheme have expressed dismay that the work has already started. Many have interpreted it as confidence on the part of the developers that no reversal will be made by die Cabinet. Sewer pipe is already laid and work is going ahead on the holding tanks. While it is possible that the Cabinet might require further treatment before the discharge is made into the sea, it is far from likely that a complete rev- ersal of any earlier approval might be the result of the appeal Majority of islanders protesting the permit assert that no permit should be isaned at any time for discharge of sewage, treated or untreated into die sea. AT CHURCH ROAD And over she goes! Car is already dropping behind offending rise. ALL SET FOR SATURDAY CLOCKS CHANGE Summer is over. For the next two days island- ers can relax in the summertime On Saturday the clocks change and winter time is back. Which way does the clock go? You can work it out. If it gets dark at 7 p.m. now, the change will make it dark at 6 p. m., so CLERGY PLAN CENSUS BY ISLAND MINISTER The clergy of Salt Spring Isl- and, meeting last Thursday, planned to take a census of the homes of the island to locate die newcomers and to make contact with those who at present have no connection with any church. The plan is to take one road at a time, call at each home. and ask to what church die occ- upants belong. Then die clergy will exchange the information, assigning to each his own famil- ies. Since this will be a spare- time job, it is expected to take several months. The location of each home will be communi- cated also to the Fire Depart- MARINE PARK t IT'S SMALLEST IN PROVINCE Where is the smallest marine park in British Columbia? On Salt Spring Island. Louisa Rock lies south of Sec- tion 54, Salt Spring Island. It is small, virtually unknown and a marine park. Former resident of Beaver Point, Donald Fraser, reports mat the island marine park has been owned by the province for park purposes since 1949, when he enquired of its status and av- ailability in order to include it in his adjacent property. At that time die assistant sup- erintendent of lands in Victoria advised Mr. Fraser that the rock had been inspected and it had been decided to "reserve it for the use and enjoyment of me public." It is notable that the letter to Mr. Fraser from the department of lands on November 16, 1949, was addressed to "Beaver Point Post Office". The rock is in die immediate vicinity of die Indian Reserve land. In 1962 Mr. Fraser sugg- ested to the minister of recrea- tion and conservation mat die Indian band at Tsaout, East Saa nich, on Saanich Peninsula be (Turn to Page Five ) ment and the Ambulance Serv- ice, to which it is expscted to prove most useful in emergen- cies. The clergy invite the assist- ance of any lay people, who will undertake segments of this census for them. To begin with, Rev. Fred An- derson will start at Beaver Point, Rev. M. Gilpin at Isabella Point, and Archdeacon Horse- field at Southey Point, all work- ing towards Ganges, while Rev. Frank Sutherland will take Rain- bow Road and its side-roads, Quesnel, Atkins, Sharpe and Canal. The co-operation of house- holders is asked. This is not a canvass for money or help"" 1 " only an unofficial census, to discover newcomers and redis- cover those who have lately moved to a new address. CREDIT UNION'S WAS BIGGEST FROM HERE Biggest charter flight ever to leave Vancouver Airport carried away 240 passengers recently. The flight was sponsored by the Vancouver Island region of Cre- dit Unions. Saanich Peninsula Credit Un- ion is an old hand in die charter flight business. There were sev- en charter flights last year and all were filled. Charter flying has attacted a number of groups with extens- ive membership and the Royal Canadian Legion has been very active in arranging flights. you move the hands back one hour. Easy, isn't it? liven if it is easy half the province will set the clocks right last thing on Saturday night. Some ofthe rest will forget the whole thing until they find that everything is at the wrong time on Sunday. The rest will move the hands die wrong way and double die error. Just remember, set it back! NEW SCHEDULE WINTER FLYING NOW Winter schedule is now in ef- fect for the daily flight service between the Gulf Islands, Van- couver and Victoria, operated by Victoria Flying Services Ltd. During the shorter daylight hours flights will leave Ganges for Vancouver at 8:30 a.m., and 1:00 p.m. Return flights leave Vancouver (Bayshore Inn) at 10 a.m., and 3:00 p.m. Cialiano, Mayne, Pender and Saturna Islands are also served by this schedule. There will be one flight dai- ly from the Gulf Islands to Vic- toria at 3:30 p. m., and from Victoria to the islands at 8:00 a.m. Reservations are required for all flights, and John R. Sturdy, agent for the islands, requests passengers to book as early as possible to avoid disappoint- ment. GIFT SHOW New experiment in merchan- dising is being made by a Gan- ges store. Mod and Lavender, of Ganges will offer a showing of Christmas gifts and merchandise at Harb- our House Hotel on Sunday aft- ernoon and evening. Showing will be open to the public, with a break for dinner. Hump in die highway is to be removed. Hector Gerow. highways dep- artment foreman on Salt Spring Island told DRIFTWOOD mis week that die hump in die road along the waterfront at die foot of Church Road is to be removed. Crews would probably commence on Wednesday, he forecast. The offending blind spot was criticized twice in one week re- cently. DRIFTWOOD expressed the hope that it might be re- moved while hill-levelling was in vogue. Almost simultane- ously, Archdeacon R. B. Horse- field expressed a similar hope to the Salt Spring Island Chamber of Commerce. The hump hides the Church Road junction from southbound traffic. Work will- be carried out be- fore paving crews reach Ganges on die present blacktopping pro- ject. Blacktopping has been delayed following mechanical breakdown Rock-crushing machinery brought to die Island by Dawson Constru- ction suffered a breakdown short- ly after its arrival. Repairs were dragged out owing to the comm- unication problem. Repairs are still under way and it is hoped to have the equipment working again shortly. Program calls for die paving of die main road from Fulford Harbour to Vesuvius. In the meantime a steady program of work has been carried out ditch- ing die road from Vesuvius. Sec- tion north of Ganges has now been completed and die machine is now working at Lee's Hill. Entire program is the result of die exceptional winter last year when die island roads broke dowr in the frost. Provincial govern- ment announced earlier this year a special allocation of half a million dollars to road work here BEA HAMILTON'S BOOK COMING Salt Spring Island, new hist- ory of the island by Bea Hamil- ton is not ready for publication. Publishers, Mitchell Press, of Vancouver, have estimated its appearance by die end of the month. Earlier hopes of its publication at tile beginning of October failed to materialize. Book is eagerly awaited by many islanders who have placed orders for it at DRIFTWOOD for many weeks ago.

    DRY FLOWERS LIKE FRESHBY YELLOW THUMB

    Members of the Garden Clubspent a most interesting eveningat the meeting last Wednesdaylearning about drying flowers.

    Mrs. P.G.James has a wealthof experience in this art, and

    fave us the benefit of her know-ow.How many people know, for

    example, that flowers can bedried and retain permanentlytheir true color and texture,through the use of silica gel?By using this process we cankeep our chrysanthemums allV^PET in lovely fresh colors.

    There are many simpler me"thods, however, such as press-ing, in which we lay the leavesflat between several thicknessesof newspaper and place underthe rug. This applies to leaves,ferns, etc. Another method isto hang upside down in loosebunches such things as goldenrodseed pods, grasses, straw flowersin a dark dry place for about twoweeks.

    Glycerine is used to dry thick-stemmed flowers, such as hyd -

    rangea, laurel, shrubbery.Poundthe stems with a hammer andplace in a container using 2/3water and 1/3 glycerine, Tiavingthe stems in 3 to 5 inches of themixture, leaving until saturatedabout 4 to 6 weeks. Removewhen flowers change color.There is also the oldest methodof all, placing leaves or flowersin a box of sand. But the newestand most exciting is to use sili-ca gel (borax can be used in thesame way).

    This is a more complicatedmethod, requiring care andknowhow. We hope to have aworkshop illustrating the processas there was much interestshown. In all instances, beforedrying anything, be sure theplant or flower is perfect, cleandry, no flaws or holes, free ofdirt or insects. Flowers or leaveswhen dried in any of the abovemethods can be used in decora-tive arrangements, the same asfresh flowers; the only difference

    LIFE'S COMPANIONS

    The ancestor of all domesticpigeons, of which there are ab-out 200 varieties, was a wildspecies, the Rock Dove, whosenative habitat is the sea cliffsand rocky places of the Europ-ean continent. Pigeons are theonly monogamous domesticatedbirds. They mate for life.

    GIFT OF BOOKS

    Memorial gifts of books toSalt Spring Island's CentennialLibnry are becoming more com-mon.

    It is becoming the custom,tohonor friends who have passedon by making a donation to thelibrary for the purchase of books,DRIFTWOOD learns.

    Such books carry a memorialbook plate and circulate amonglocal people, to serve as a last-ing reminder. Such donationsare matched by a grant from theprovincial Library DevelopmentCommission and are thereforeactually worth double the am-ount to the library.

    WHAT IS TRUTH ?

    It is a warm thought for each of us that we have suchbenevolent governments looking after our interests atall times. No longer do we have to fear a thing.Thereis a government department standing by, eager to guardus from disaster.

    For instance, we hear frequently of the charges thatcolor television is hazardous. So a government depart-ment steps in with a warm reassurance. Color televisionis perfectly safe, says the federal department of health.There is no possible danger from emissions. They havebeen carefully checked and proved to be so far belowany hazardous level that we need have not a fear.That's reassuring.

    On the other hand, continues the report, it is advis-able to ensure that nobody is behind the set and thatchildren do not place their legs beyond the set anddon't sit too close.

    Why? If there is no hazard ̂ then why take precau-tions? Against what?

    The same with the pilLReports of dang er to users of the contraceptive pill

    are unfounded and no woman need hesitate, came a re-port from a benevolent and friendly government's de-partment. In the United States women were reassured.

    However, concluded the report, women using thepill do show a greater vulnerability to certain grim dis-eases. That's safety !

    Now we have the garden spray. It is safe, really.On the other hand you must sign for it when you buy itAnd you must have the retailer sign for it when hepicks it up from the wholesaler. And when you've fin-ished with it don't put it in the garbage. It could killsomebody. Bury it in chemicals or hand it in to be des-troyed.

    Right, wrong; black, white; safe, hazardous; allwords and the meaning is gone.

    The same thinking extends to the -ose of diucjs by stu-dents and young persons. This psychedelic drug is dan-gerous, we may assert.

    Dangerous like it'll kill you or dangerous like youcan use it anyway ?

    For heaven's sake let's have a politician who cancome out and say what he means without leaving us tostand first on one leg and then on the other! Or arethey all too gutless?

    LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR

    AND NEXT YEAR?

    Editor, Driftwood,I was glad to see the letter

    from Grace and Jack Scott crit-icising the greasy pig contestfor its cruelty.

    They suggest that an SPCA

    be formed - but what use wouldthat be? The SPCA was offici-ally represented, condoning theaffair.

    I have been a member of theSPCA for a great many yearsand I am sorry to see that it issupporting the use of animals

    ARE WE WATCHING ?

    The burgeoning industry of British Columbia dropsback into low gear at times.

    While fully aware of the dangers of parochialismwhen extended into internationalism, we look askanceat too much brother I i ness.

    Two large United States corporations are now happ*-ily selling British Columbian raw materials to Japan.

    We are fully aware that the United States needs themoney and fhat Japan needs the material. What doesCanada need? While both the United States and Jap-an are friendly nations, they cannot be expected tolook after our interests. It would be reassuring if wecould be satisfied that our interests are being safe-guarded when we watch so many deep sea vessels haul-ing away our heritage.

    for such a purpose.Rabbits as well, poor little

    creatures - taken from hutchesand chased round a field.

    Is it any wonder that we havejuvenile delinquency when weJoster these sadistic activities -and encourage children to lookupon them as fun and sport, andentertainment for older people.

    I think it is quite seriouswhen children are trained tolook upon animals as somethingfor their use or entertainment.Animals are thinking, feeling'creatures and should be treatedwith love and respect.

    It is only a step from usingpiglets and rabbits as fund-rais-ers, to the basement lab wherekids cut up creatures "to seehow they tick."

    The same lack of thought andrespect for others, leads tomuch of juvenile and adult mis-demeanours.

    I do hope that some other me-thod for raising money will befound next year.

    SPORT MUISANCE

    Editor, Driftwood,The sports nuisance is back

    on radio. Music lovers are cutoff and the sound of applause isthe only music available.

    Why not have music for radioand keep television for sport atthe same time?

    It would be fairer to thewhole population.

    How enjoyable it used to bein the early days of radiolookers and listeners for enter-tainment. Can we not have

    both??? If you please.C.Bruce Clegg, FulfordHarbour, B. C.October 16, 1969.

    POOR PIGS!

    Editor, Driftwood,Your account of the pig cat-

    ching affair prompts me to writethis letter. There must be ma-ny people who share Jack Scott%view of this and I am certainlyone of them., Mr. Bob Blundell assures usthat the little pigs like it. Per-haps he can speak with authori-ty about their likes and dislikes.I would not presume to makeany pronouncement about howmuch the little pigs may haveliked it or how much they may

    DINNER AT THE HALLThanksgiving weekend saw

    many homes filled with familiesand guests.

    There was also the big Thanks'giving dinner at Galiano Hall.

    Catering was by the club com-mittee and chef Tom Carolanwas busy all day long preparingthe big turkeys for the tradition-al dinner.

    Working right along with himwas secretary of the Club,Mrs.G.H.Snell, and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Melanie Snell.

    In charge of cooking the deli-cious scalloped potatoes, alsothe desserts, was Mrs. DorothyWalton.

    Mrs. Snell decorated the tab-les with the beautiful fall flow-ers from her garden.

    Collecting tickets and under-taking various other duties, wereW.H.(Bud) Day, Earl Young andAllen Clarke.

    Assisting in serving the mealwere, in the kitchen, Mr. andMrs. Hank Knudson, and ArthurPlatt.

    Serving dinner were: Mrs. So-phia Rustad, Mrs. M.Lupton.MrsLes Robinson, Mrs. Ross Parmin-ter, and Mrs. M.Backlund.

    Following the dinner and so-cial hour, dancing was enjoyedto the music of the " Real Reb-ellion" , Peter Darling and son,Mark Darling.

    Another who worked hard tomake this night a success was

    more about

    MARINE PARK(From Page One)

    invited to negotiate an agree-ment whereby the waterfront re-serve could be acquired for parkpurposes.

    Mr. Fraser explains that heinvited the minister to acquirehis holding adjoining the res-erve, but that Earle Westwoodrejected the proposal.

    A letter at that time from In-dian Agent R.H.S. Sampson re-ports that Chief Edwin Under-wood and his council had consi-dered the matter and had repor-ted that they were not disposedto "ell the Fulford Harbour No. 5Rv rVe on Salt Spring Island.

    The marine park at LouisaRock remains small and alone,served by an access roughed innow. Rarely used today, it mayprove in the future to stand as atribute to the government dep-artment which decided to retainit 20 years ago.

    NOBODY WANTS TO BE THERE FIRST BUT ALLSHOULD BE VERSED IN OFFERING ASSISTANCE

    Nobody likes to be one of thefirst to arrive at the scene of anaccident where assistance is nee-ded but if this should happen toyou, the B.C.Automobile Associ-ation suggests a few simple rulesto follow:

    'Park your car in a safe place.*Keep calm - survey the situa-

    tion quickly and take necessaryaction.

    *Protect the scene of the acci-dent if the highway is partiallyor fully blocked by disabled veh-icles. Have someone stop ordirect traffic. Place emergencyequipment such as flares, flags,or fuses.

    'If the motor is still running inone of the disabled vehicles, turnit off. This may prevent a fire.

    *Have someone send for help.The police and ambulance (ifneeded) and in some cases,thenearest fire department.

    *Do what you can for the in-jured - but don't attempt to playdoctor. Never move an injuredperson unless they are in dangerof further injury or fire.

    PIONEER FAMILY AND WEDDINGBY CULTUS COULEE

    A grandson of pioneer familieswas married on Saturday, Oct.11 at South Fender's Church ofthe Good Shepherd, when theRev. Cyril Venables performeda noonday wedding for MarilynEmily Lougheed of Burnaby, andJonathan Arthur Spalding of Bur-naby and South Pender.

    There was a sunny prelude,hile awaiting late ferry guests;

    'gazing up the rocky hillside,through golden maples and arbu-tus, to a patch of blue.

    Ushers George Campbell, Dudley Hutton and Alex MacKinnonhad a job, as the church wasjammed. White Christmas rosesand creeping sorrel were Mrs.Campbell's choice for decora-tion. The sorrel plants had beergiven to Mrs. John Freeman andHope Jennens at Village Bay,bythe late Dalton Deacon.

    The bride, a daughter of the

    late Dr. J. Harold Le Page andMrs. Le Page of Victoria, worea mauve lace, three-quartersleeve coat, over a mauve crepefrock, with matching shoes andgloves, and a tiara of tiny whitemums. She carried white orch-ids on a white bible. Her flow-er girl, daughter Kim, 8, worea gold metallic frock with ruff-led white lace collar and cuffs,and carried a white basket ofmauve orchids.

    Matron-of-honor, Mrs. FredDunn, wore a beige mini ofchantilly over peau de soie.withgold trim and accessories, anda mauve orchid corsage.

    Herbert Spalding gave awaythe bride; and the oest man wasKenny Deacon.

    The Vicar had to competewith the chuchottement of theunder fives and underfoot.

    Mrs. Venables played Mend-elssohn's Bridal Chorus "O, Per-fect Love" during the register-signing; and the Wedding Marchfrom Lohengrin.

    SING A SONG OF CONSERVATION

    From an empty rise on the barren ground,The sob of a boy and his wailing houndCould be heard in the breezes soft and clearThrough a wilderness left from yesteryear.

    T'was a saddened sigh of a future child,In a futile quest of the woods and the wild.Then a teardrop fell as he gazed up high,And in barely a whisper asked us, Why?

    Why is the green foliage no longer here?What caused all the flowers to disappear?Who soured the meadows so that they reek?Why is the top soil so barren and bleak?

    Why are the rivers so murky and cold?Why are the lake shores fermented with mold?Why does the sunshine seem musty and dark?Where is the call of the loon and the lark?

    Where are the deer and the bear, and the moose?What killed the pheasant, the duck, and the goose?Where are the rabbits my dad used to shopt?Where are the turtles, the frogs, and the coot?

    Why don't the pike and the pickerel spawn?Where have the bass, and the muskie all gone?Why is the game and the songbird's glow,Gone like the buffalo of long ago?

    Where are the timbers that stood strong and stout?Where is the tall grass I had read about?Why, when I gaze over each hill and dale,All that remains is the rock and the shale?

    You who were living when time was benign,Selfishly castrated that which was mine.Never a thought to the waters and sod.Never a thought to the bounties of God.

    Good conservation could not fill your need.Reckless abandon was part of your creed.Pestilence, fire, pollution, and gore,Were the plagues that you lived with brought on by war.

    This was to be a great land of the free.Home of the brave, to be passed on to me.

    / 'ys was my heritage, proud and divine,j^ook good, and see what was actually mine.

    Thus, ever so softly the sobs passed on.The breeze in the winderness now was gone.All that remains for both you and for me,Is our steadfast pledge that this will not be.

    A cavalcade wound across theisland to the north side. There,Mr. MacKinnon, with aidesDennis Moore and Jen Spalding(namesake and nephew of thegroom), controlled traffic atthe head of the steep road snak-ing down to Little Bay.. EdnaLadner helped ferry friends tothe fiesta.

    Though large, the loghousecan't expand, so only South Ren-der was invited.

    Win Spalding, in gray suit,pink flowered hat, and yelloworchid corsage, was a beaminghostess, floating on cloud 9.

    Many overflowed to patio andlawns, basking in sun, and thewarmth of friendship; bedazzledby Baker and his brethren; andin the foreground, Sucia, lowand dark.

    Plumper Sound people, closeby to Little Bay, rallied roundlike mad. From 10:30 Joan andStuart Ward had tended kitchen,and there were 55 adults and 23children to be f'ed.

    Jen Axtens Barlow, Ann Pend-er Henshaw, Mary Crane Rodd-ick and Vern; Isabel and DaveSpalding, Sybil Conery Willson,and young helpers Debbie andDonna Deacon, Allison Hutton,Debbie Moore, Jane and Eliza-beth Spalding circulated sherry;mugs of Herb's famed chowder,(6 quarts of clams); and goodiesgalore.

    Host Herb was busy with car-ving knife on another specialtyof the house, a haunch of veni-son; with choice of Win Spa Id -ing's brown, or Isabel Spalding'swhite, to make your own sand-wich.

    Win's three-tiered cake tri-umph was decorated by NorthPender artist Joan Purchase, withher usual flair.

    The bride's elder son, LarryLineham, toasted his mother;and the groom replied "Thankyou." Goaded by cries of"Speech! Speech!" he made aspontaneous and unrehearsed (andunwitting) switch - "I think she'sa very lucky woman!" whichraised the roof.

    A Squamish wind broughtwhite caps flying on a cobaltsea. Kenny and Bev Deaconlooked up Plumper Sound toMayne - backed by the Secheltmountains, where Ken lived onthe farm of his father, Daltori,and his grandfather, John Deac-on, who came to B. C. fromOntario in 1878 and to Mayne in1879. Bev's Odberg family hadbeen oldtimers on Saturna andMayne. When Ken and Bever-ley were married in Burnaby, in1967, Jon Spalding was best man

    Jon's maternal grandparentswere Mr. and Mrs. John WortleyBellhouse, who came to Galianofrom Pilot Mound, Manitoba,in1907.

    His grandfather, Arthur ReedSpalding, came from England in1884, to South Pender, andbought property on the Fendersin 1886.

    From the Spaldings* you lookacross Plumper Sound to Saturnabeach. There, Lilias MacKayand Arthur Spalding were marr-ied by Canon Beanlands at War-burton Pike's ranch house inNovember, 1889. In a war can-oe, paddled by two Indians, theSpaldings landed at Little Bay,and went on a trail through theforest, to their new home abovethe valley.

    Happy trails ahead, to grand-son Jon, and Marilyn!

    V \ I / /THIS LAW IS CRIMINAL

    BY EARL YOUNG

    Let me say at once, that the"SHOTGUN ONLY" law - enfor-ced by the anti-hunting variety,is criminal, and emotional stu-pidity.

    I've never yet met a single person in this class who has knownanything at all about game; inthis case - Deer. We all like tosee those shiny brown eyes andthat sleak body in the summer-time.

    How many see the same ani-mal in the late winter, whenmalnutrition has been at work,and the deer is infested with adozen or more parasites, eachtype a specialist in its own field;ear, nose, lungs, etc? If it sur-

    / \vives the winter, it might takemost of the summer to King itback to full strength; but in themeantime - it has suffered formany long months.

    There is only one answer, al-though limited, and that is - toharvest as many as needed, sowhat little winter nourishmentis available is distributed amongfewer deer. Right now, diedeer on these Islands are small-er by at least one-diird to whatthey were ten years ago.

    These are the things a' hunter-sportsman can understand. He isalso the only one that willinglycontributes anything towards thewelfare of the game. La addi -tion to the aforementioned nat-ural problems, we'll now havewounded deer everywhere, plusa few more hunters, no doubt.

    A shotgun firing slugs or SSGpellets, does not have sufficientkilling power except within avery limited range .The wound^.ing range, of course, is some-thing else again. An awful lotof hunters claim to have gunsthat will shoot straighter andfurther.

    In my 35 years in the gunbusiness, I've heard plenty ofstories about gun performance.I can assure any hunter mat nogun of a given calibre or gaugewill shoot any further or hit anyharder than any other gun ofthe same type.

    This fallacy could be elimi-nated if hunters knew somethingabout ballistics, which very fe*do. Let's take a look at ballis-tics and performance of a 12gauge slug.

    This projectile is cast of softlead and is rated one ounce inweight. Construction is a solidhead and a hollow or skirtedbase. This thin rear wall willexpand to bore-size goingthrough the barrel. The outsideof the slug has external grooves.

    \or inclined vanes. The princi-pal of these fins is to rotate andstabilize die slug in flight. Forseveral technical reasons - dueto internal ballistics, this is animpossibility. The slug is dis-torted and the fins mostly obli-terated before it leaves the bar-rel.

    Accuracy of this hunk of leadis no better than 4 to 6 inchesat 50 - 60 yards, which shouldbe die extreme range. One cannot obtain any reliable inform-ation by firing only one or twoshots.

    At 50 yards, the velocity isapproximately 1,270 feet persecond and the impact energy- 1,490 foot Ibs.

    Compared with the 30/30rifle, also a short-range gun,here the velocity is 2.000 andenergy, 1,680 foot pounds.

    At 100 yards, the slug haslost 40% of its velocity and kill-ing power and yet it can travel800 yards.

    I would suggest the game de-partment should ban any slugshooting under 20 gauge andban SG and SSG altogether. TheSSG is the larger of these twopellets, and measures .32 cal.-about the size of a small pea.

    A 12 gauge shell is loadedwith 11 pellets.

    The shot gunner who has pat-terned his shot gun with birdshot, will certainly get a rudeawakening if he tries this withSSG at 50 yards. By the timethese pellets get that far, theywill be all over the countryside.If one was to shoot at a 12 inchtarget, roughly die size of adeer ribcage, and get two pel-lets in that target, would besheer luck. And yet, it shouldtake at least four pellets in avital area to anchor that deer.

    The reason is that at 50 yardseach pellet has only 121 foot Ibsenergy. This is slightly morethan a .22 calibre bullet, butwithout the penetration. Obvi-ously this 50 yard range is muchtoo far for pellets, and shouldbe reduced to 30 - 35 yards inorder to retain some density inthe shot pattern.

    In other words, a deer that ishit at 50 yards with one or twopellets, is almost certainly alost, but wounded deer.

    Another factor which makesthe shotgun so unsatisfactory isthe lack of sights. The bestcombination is a 12 gauge mod-ified choke with some type ofrear sight, or a very low power-ed scope, and shooting slugs.

    Be a sportsman, know whatyou're shooting at, and knowthe range. A few accidents arebound to happen, but in our so-ciety we must accept them; thelaw of average and enough foolsto go around. Road accidentsare almost fashionable but hard-ly discussed. Why are huntingaccidents so dramatized; is itbecause they are so few?

    In 1968 we had 23 casualties,eight fatal and the game dep-artment issued almost 147.000

    JUVENILE SOCCERFive soccer games were

    played by Salt Spring juvenileteams over the weekend, resultsas follows:DIVISION SIX,

    Salt Spring Lions 3, DuncanO.K. Tire, 2. Salt SpringLions, 2, Ladysmith, 0. (exhi-bition).

    Both games were very excit-ing and featured good teamwork by the local boys. Contri-buting to their victories was asparkling display by Rodger Kit-chen on the forward line. Def-

    any oil company who is preparedto sell me gas and not trips tothe equator or new watches orwhat have you?

    Lillian Horsdal is back in Ful-ford after a long holiday in Ott -awa where husband Paul is stillliving and photographing. Shehas come back eager to try herhand at painting and other artwork, particularly painting theliving room.

    Mr. and Mrs. Dan Gerow areon Salt Spring Island. Can'ttell how long for. They like itwell enough on the island andthey enjoy being with the Hec-tor Gerow family but they arehankering for the cold,coldweather of the north. Back inBurns Lake it's he'man weatherand the grey wetness of the is-land is quite a contrast.

    ensively Neil Anderson and Ste-ven Jarman improve with everygame and along with regularstalwarts Sidney Jones and Phil-ip Kyler came through with astrong performance. Goal scor-ers, Rodger Kitchen, 2, AndrewRoberts, Danny Eraser, andGary Bogdanovich.DIVISION FOUR,

    Salt Spring Legion 5, GordonHead 'B' 0 (exhibition). SaltSpring Legion 3, South Cowich-an, 1.

    In the exhibition game thelocal squad dominated playfrom the start and the resultwas never in doubt. JimmyTaylor 2, David Girard 2, andCarl Kitchen were the goalscorers. Cowichans* visit toSalt Spring started well as theyscored first but the Legion boysfought back to deadlock thegame and then go ahead ongoals from Brian Bogdanovich,Carl Kitchen and David Girard.DIVISION EIGHT,

    Salt Spring 0, Duncan Mart-ins 3.

    The local boys were not out-played in this game as theygave the top team in the leaguean exciting contest but theDuncan squad were much super-ior in the goal scoring depart-ment.

    NOT A POEM FOR THANKSGIVING?

    No poem for Thanksgiving? Now isn't that drear?But I find that Thanksgiving is with me all year.

    A thank you for Springtime, for Summer, for Fall,And a thank you for Winter-- best season of all.

    For Winter brings Christmas and joy to one's heart.For a formal thanksgiving now where does one start?

    I'm thankful for all the small joys of life—Thankful for quiet that comes after strife,Thank you for my window when Jack Frost has kissed it!And a thank you for living, I wouldn't have missed it!

    respective families? You canblame that old printer's devilwhich often jumps into the wri-tings and gums up the works.Do you know what the printer'sdevil' is? No, it is NOT the ed-itor ! It is something like that'demmed elusive Pimpernel* ora gremlin, neither of which canbe caught or named. It mightbe in the ink or the machineryor just anywhere in the press of-fice, and Hallowe'en doesn'tcome once a year with that oldprinter's devil, it plajs ±ricksjust anytime it feels like, anj^names, places and things get^wthe wrong places causing frust-rating blunders that irk writers,the people concerned and news-paper staff. Can't do much ab-out it either. But it does get awriter down at times.

    The Vancouver Is. Branch ofthe Canadian Women's PressClub entertained CharlotteWhitton at the home of Mrs.Eugenie Myles on Monday ev-ening. Bess Forbes, columnistwas also honored by the Clubmembers as she has retiredfrom the CWPC after being amember for 25 or so years. Besswas our first president in 1949,to 1955, then called the Victor-ia Women's Press Club. Whenthat folded, the present CWPCwas formed and Miss Forbes wasagain the first president and hasbeen a valuable and active me-mber ever since.

    Bess received a Rhodoniteslab made into a lovely penstand (by Cara) which is ratheran appropriate gift for a writer.

    The Ronnie Lees and CliffLees have returned home afterspending several glorious weeksin Saskatchewan. Granny Ben-nett, who had been holdingdown the Ronnie Lees' homeduring their absence, was ex-cited and happy on Sunday morning when she heard that theywould all be home by noonthat day. Miss Ronda Lee andMrs. Colleen Soule (nee Lee)are busy and well, say the Leefamilies and the baby in theSoule family is as bonnie asthey make them._

    Mrs. Muriel Af-cher of Van-couver, spent a few days visit-ing her Papa, Hugh E. Smith,on the Isabella Point Road, re-turning home on Wednesday.

    That was a fine column byFire Chief Dave Smith in Oct.16 issue and he appeals for sup-port of these volunteer firemenby suggesting that we look aft-er ourselves, our homes andour island by more careful stu-dy of our ways of living, suchas leaving a kettle on to boilaway, or forgetting to moveclothes away from the live el-ements on the stove. It is agood thing to shut everythingoff when you have some distra-ction, before answering thedoor or phone, much safer andmight save having to put in afire alarm. I think most of ̂ »appreciate and give credit tol»our firemen who have perform-ed the most difficult of tasksin the past and really it is upto us to see that they don'thave to meet tragedy alongthe line of duty. Remember,fire burns!

    TAKES

    AWARDSThat's him! But he's grown a

    beard!That's Art Williams, of Lady-

    smith. He's not just a logger,he's a champ. Any man with alist of trophies like he has is achampion in any business. And«' "s a long list.Give or take a few, the Lady-smith logger has won about 75trophies since he turned to com-petitive logging sports about 12years ago.

    When he isn't climbing treesfor prizes, he climbs them forhis living. At the week end hewas climbing a maple at thehome of Mrs. Stewart on Morn-ingside Drive. He was the lastman to climb that maple be-cause it is now cut down and cutup.

    On Monday he was back onSalt Spring Island, cutting outdangerous trees on Beddis Road.

    Competitive logging is not allplay. You sweat at that game,notes the logger. Sometimesyou have reason to sweat. Likewhen you are dropping from 65feet to the ground.WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

    That was at Albany in Oregon,during the world championshipsports. He was quick up the treeToo quick. At the 65 foot levelhe slipped and next thing he wasflat on the ground. It was a lofall and a quick stop and all he

    got out of it was a bruised riD.The logger has been up a tree

    most of the summer. During1969 he won 25 trophies and sev-eral thousand dollars.

    There was Sooke, with troph-ies for power saw and log birlingThere was Prince George witheight trophies for almost every-thing.

    At Oregon's championships aswell as falling out of the tree,he took the world championshipchopping contest.

    While the chain saw has me-chanized the forest, chopping isa direct link to the old days ofthe woods. The contestant sim-ply chops through a given pieceof tree with an axe. Williams

    What else can he do? "lle!sdone it.

    The Ladysmith logger hasformed a team of loggers to tourthe country demonstrating logg-ers' sports. Currently he is hop-ing to take the team to Calgary.They go anything from six to adozen on the team and they shovhow it's done on the coast.

    WITCHES A GO-GO

    Ride on'a broom to the witches' court, for oh! it's Hallowe'en!And there the groovy spirits go, 'twill be an eery scene.The skeletons will dance and clack, and hug their bare-bone ribsWhile witches stir their bubbling pots, as ghosts are telling fibs!The music—ah! that is the wind through yonder trees that rub—It has an awesome screeching sound; they all will dance the glub.Chains will clank!! Black cats will yowl, while moonlight lights

    their revel.They'll end their dance when the midnight owl lays the witches'

    brooms all level.The hags upon their strawy steeds will never leave a trail—They seldom speak, but their baleful cats give one last mournful

    wail.- Celia V. Reynolds.

    As the score suggests thisproved to be a very one sidedcontest at Maple Bay, in whichthe score flattered the local boysSalt Spring played attractivesoccer only occasionally andnever showed the skills of whichthey are capable. Of the SaltSpring team Karl Kitchen and

    Roger Kitchen and David Girardalways played constructively anddid their best to prompt the teaminto a running and passing dis-play. Defensively Jim Taylorproved very effective while CarlWillis in goal looked very safeon the odd occasion he wascalled on.

    AUXILIARYMOURNS LOSSOF SUPPORTER

    Members of the Lady MintoHospital Auxiliary are mourn-ing the loss of a firm supporter.Mrs. Maud Lazenby was an ac-tive member of the auxiliaryfor many years. She was a for-mer member of the executive.

    Mrs.Lazenby was a friend ofthe patients and staff eachChristmas. For many years itwas she who selected and wrap -ped the gifts distributed throughthe hospital at Christmas time.She had also made herself resp-onsible for the festive appear-ance of breakfast trays in thehospital on Christmas morning.

    Another annual duty voluntar-ily undertaken by the late Vesu-vius Bay resident was the drawat the Hospital Bargain DaySale. Mrs. Lazenby undertookher last draw this year, whenshe was stricken during the cam-paign. Each year for years Mrs.Lazenby sat in Mouat's Storeselling tickets prior to the hosp-ital sale.

    During her time on Salt SpringIsland Mrs. Lazenby devoted thegreater part of her time to thelocal hospital and the Red Cross.

    "She will be missed by both,"said a spokesman for the auxili-ary this week.
