This is backed up by three redphones placed in strategic loca-tions around the Island and link-ed directly to the alarm system.

An outside call box is alsoprovided at the fire hall for any-one not having a telephone. Fire

crews use the special phones toascertain the location of thefire as soon as the siren goes.

There is no change in morn-ing Sight times.

TENDERS INVITED

service to school would el imin-ate the need for a dormitory atGanges and students would ret-urn to their own homes each ev-ening.

Travel to school by boat isundertaken by many school dist-ricts in the province, despite thecosts involved.

The type of vessel used for theservice and its condition mustmeet with the approval of thedepartment of transport beforeany such service can be initiat-ed.

The school district is also .looking to a centralized systemof elementary school educationfor outer islands families.

Further bids are invited totransport students from the vari-ous islands to one central elem-entary school. In the event of acontract being awarded for thispurpose students would comefrom all the other outer islandsto one island and its school.Theplan would ensure a largerschool with a greater staff andthe pupils would be faced with alarge number of fellow students.Many island parents feel that thesmall island schools with a hand-ful of children fail to prepare achild for larger secondaryschools.

Islands parents decided to sup-port a dormitory at Ganges sev-eral years ago. It has operatedsuccessfully in the former LadyMinto Hospital building but ithas never found universal favor.

Tenders close May 6, at noon.

MAY DAYTO BETWO DAYSMay Day is to be a full holid-

ay week end feature at Gangesthis year.

The holiday falls on the Mon-day and will be marked on theMonday. It will also be markedon the Sunday.

The bake sale on Wednesday,April 14 sponsored by the AltarGuild of the church of St. Marb-aret of Scotland and held atZala's Corner Store, was a hugesuccess. More than $40 wasraised in just two hours, withthe home-made goodies sellingfast.

Montague Marine Park hasbeen tidied up for the week end.After several months of goingdown to see the trashcans over-flowing, it is nice to see itclean again. Many people cameto camp out, some in the pour-ing rain, but they were justhappy to be away from homefor a few days, and those whostayed on to see the sunshine ofthe past few days, were well-rewarded.

FULFORD BY BEA HAMILTON

Hummingbirds - red all overand with beautiful ruby throatsare invading us! Others have re-ported Ruby Throats and theyflit like small vital flames am-ongst the huckleberry leaves,sucking in the sweet juicy honeydew from the first buds and get-ting the occasional snack fromthe feeding bar. They dance inand out of the flowering currantbush, their brilliance shiningout like lively jewels and theywhip past one's ear like a shot,making one squirm at the closeproximity of whirring wings!

I can't help feeling thankfulthat they are such good marks-men and can miss one's ear ev-ery time. I still think they areoverdoing the togethernessthough. At the moment, I canhear several pair of quail play--ing a tattoo on the feeding tableout front - doesn't take themlong to clear the decks of food.

So much for bird news...Mrs. A. D. Dane was giving

an Easter party for the childrenof the St. Mary's Choir and Sun-day school when the flu bug ent-ered the home so an SOS wentto Mrs. John French who imme-diately took over and soon ever-ything was in festive order. Mrs.E. Lacy made a special decora-ted cake; Ian Lacy hid scores ofEaster eggs around the grounds,Mrs. Val Hughes and Mrs. MikeByron came along to help outwith entertaining; hot dogs, andother refreshments, and the Eas-ter egg hunt made the day for.the little ones and all thorough-ly enjoyed the fun! with the ol-der children joining in with en-thusiasm. So thanks to goodneighbor Mrs. French, and help-ers, says Bessie Dane, the partywas a huge success. And theflu bug has been defeated in theDane family - "But take careafter you are over it," says Bes-sie Dane, "The thing can returnif you get a chill."

Afraid our supposedly springweather is far from being con-ducive to keeping warm!

I took in the lovely little

children, came from Victoriato spend a few days with herparents, Mr. and Mrs. S.teveRiddell. Their daughter Faye,was also over for several daysfrom Victoria.

Miss Eve Rawlick, and MissS. McLaren, from Vancouverwere at the "M. and M. Ranch"for several days.

Mr. and Mrs. A. Knight, andchildren, of Vancouver, cameto their Georgia Hills summerhome for several days. This fa-mily has just returned from twoyears in the Phillipines.

The show was a del-ight and the perfume gorgeousas one entered the building..They served a nice tea belowstairs and were kept busy all aft-ernoon it seemed. Everyone wascongratulating Les Giles forwinning so many prizes for hisentries - he came first in theGrand Aggregate and deservedall the kudos! The crowd wa*large and I couldn't see every--"thing in the short time I wasthere but it all looked great andwell worth all the trouble ittakes to arrange and run such anaffair.

A note from George and Haz-el Truefitt, who are well ontheir way to England on the S.S.Oriana (if they haven't alreadyarrived) said they were having awonderful trip but were saddenecone day when a passenger jump-ed overboard and drowned. Oth-erwise the trip was enjoyable aitthey will be home when theycome back, which means theyare off for a long visit, at leastsix month. Couldn't happen tonicer people.

The last monthly meeting ofthe W.I. was held at Dromoreinstead of at Mrs. Irene Stew-art's home in Ganges. Theswitch around was unavoidable.Arrangements were made forsome members to attend the W.I.

to be frank

By Richards

UBC was looking back on itsalumni last month and reportedmat Malcolm T. Bond, BSA,*65, has returned to British Col-umbia to open a veterinary praetice in Langley. Dr. Bond com-«ced his studies at Guelph,

., last outpost of Canadianvets. He is the son of Jesse BondGanges and attended Salt SpringIsland schools.

Same report noted that onVancouver Island, at Saanichtonan unusual family has includedblack bear cubs, cougar kittens,fur seals, bald eagles and thecommon domestic pooch. Thefamily is, of course, that ofDave and Lyn Hancock, whosefilms have been popular on SaltSpring Island, as elsewhere, andauthors of two busy-selling bookAdventure with Eagles and WildIslands. Dave is listed as a gra-duate in science of 1963.

* * *One competitor in the recent

Lions Walkathon never complet-ed the course and was omittedfrom the honors lists. Sheshould have been right in it.Pro-bably the youngest walker of theevent was Kara Cruickshank,three years old. At three, thefull.distance of eight miles wasa bit too much, but she comp -leted four miles and turned inher card.

* * *" Passion of Norm American

parents..." said last week'scomment from the school dist-rict: Passion according to St.Beach?

* * *No wonder the Lady Minto

Hospital is so slow in gettingme new wing built. They areplanning the 1970 annual meet-ing now, in 1971. Guess thenew wing will be finished arouid1972 in 1973.

* * *On Saturday evening Leo club

members and their guests weregiving a warm applause to cater-ers, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Paulsfor their work in preparing theconvention dinner. Within min-utes, wooly-haiied members ofthe off-island band playing forthe Leos were protesting thatthey had been refused a meal inthe Ganges Crest, the caterers*restaurant. Jimmy Bond, guit-arist and radio announcer, fromSidney later reported that he haddiscussed the matter with Daveand they had reached a harmoni-ous conclusion. Only problemwas, the band was still hungry.

* * *Prison problems are param-

ount after the incident last weekin Kingston. Reminds me of anairman at Patricia Bay Airport^ptng the war. He made a for-mal visit to the United Statesunder the sponsorship of the airforce. He liked it "so muchthat he deserted and stayedthere. It was an unrequited loveand the Americans eventuallyweeded him out and shipped binnorm. He went to Little Mount-ain for a time and regaled hisfellow servicemen with his rem-iniscences. One of his tales wasabout alcoholic beverages andthey weren't advertised at all inprison. He and his fellow con-victs would collect prunes andsugar. The sugar was substitut-ed for the original stone. Theprune was then bound with cot-ton and hidden, often in thetoilet tank. Given time thedried fruit would ferment andeventually it was swallowed togain the effect of the home-made alcohol.

Jesse and Elsie Brown were inGanges on Saturday, loadeddown with wine supplies to takeback to Mayne. "I*ve told ev-eryone they should come to theflower show," said Elsie, "and Iwas coming even if we had toget a boat ourselves." She didnot have to . They came byferry.

* »•He's only a name, now, but

for a few brief years Joe Sankeywas Britain's No. 1 Canadian tohis war-torn patients. Joe wasa wild western surgeon duringthe second world war and hisspecialty was making new facesand new bodies for burned sold-iers. Joe operated in a hospitalin the English Midlands and nev-er made the headlines. He usedto speak with derision of theconsiderable publicity given toother units performing similarservices and it probably rankled.Joe would take a man without aface and work on him for monthsuntil he had a normal face ag-ain. I never really knew him.Only link I had with Joe Sankeywas that I married his hospitalward nurse. Then, when tielearned we hoped to move toBritish Columbia, he was goingto tell us everything about it.It was then that he died sudden-ly, a young man. Joe Sankeycame from British Columbia.Hespoke at length of British Colunv-bia. But I never knew what partof British Columbia and I havealways wondered.

* » *Young driver came out of the

court house at Ganges with hisbrand-new license and a sens-eof adult achievement. He knewevery word in the book and theexaminer had questioned himclosely on the distance he musttravel from another vehicle andthe range of his lights and everyother regulated distance."Howfar are you from that car?" Iasked him. He assessed the dis-tance at 25 feet. We then pacedit out to more than three timesthat distance. The close know-ledge of bureau statistics willearn a man his license but itcannot teach him to judge dist-ances accurately. And very fewpeople can, as any photographerknows.

* * *On Monday I went to the

court house at Ganges to take ayouthful driver for a test. 1 hadno money and I went over toValcourt's to borrow the necess-ary dollar for a license test."You're the second to come forthat," said Eva Langell.

BY WATER EACH DAYChange of thinking by trustees of the Gulf Islands

School District,is evident this week with the invitationfor tenders to provide daily water transportation bet-ween islands.

The question has been mooted many times in pastyears, but members of the board invariably faced thebarrier of popular demand. The parents of outer islandchildren had expressed a preference for boarding onSalt Spring Island. Thus, they were accommodatedhere.

Conditions have changed since that earlier decisionwas made and the problems of offering board and super-vision have grown.

Daily transportation relieves outer islands families ofa separation which is less acceptable today than itmight have been in past years and it relieves trustees ofa parental identity they should not be required to as-sume.

FIRST ROUND TO ISLANDERSSalt Spring Islanders knew their new theatre group

was good. Perhaps the players themselves knew it.They certainly did not expect to convince the adjudic-ator at the regional drama festival in Duncan last week

The island company came away with three top awardsand other commendations.

If the new group can reach this standard, first timearound, it augurs well for their future and for the enjoyment of Salt Spring Islanders.

The success of the island drama group is a tribute toevery member of the company and the numerous assist-ants. It is, of course, a tribute to the excellent direc-tion by Mrs. Olive Clayton.

The players' group can hold its head high after theirinitial successes.

Letters to the EditorCOSTS OF DRAMA

SUPERVISION AT MOUAT PARK?

To Spend $17,000 On ParksBig improvements are planned

for Salt Spring Island parks.Provincial government has al-

located $17,000 to Salt SpringIsland, mainly for improvemenisto Mouat Park at Ganges.

It is also planned to carry outsome improvements to the ac -cess road within Maxwell Park.

T.E. Harcus, chairman ofthe parks committee of SaltSpring Island Chamber of Com-merce, told DRIFTWOOD thatthe chamber is gratified to learnof the government's plan butthe figure "falls short of theamount the chamber had beenpressing for".

•Bob Ahrens, director of theparks branch of the departmentof recreation and conservationhas promised that as much locallabor as possible will be used foithe work.

Mount Maxwell will becomeslightly more accessible as a re-sult of work planned on the roadwithin the park boundary.

Mr. Harcus reported that whenit was suggested by the chamberof commerce that the current restriction on land developmenthad left idle considerable heavyequipment, the plea was not re-ceived with enthusiasm.

Mr. Ahrens emphasized thatin order to combat unemploy -ment it was "men they wanted,not machines".

TOILETS NEARINGCOMPLETION ATCENTENNIAL PARK

Toilets in the CentennialPark at Ganges are almost com-pleted.

The Salt Spring Island Cham-ber of Commerce, which spark>red the installation of the build-ing at the park, has made thefinal arrangements for installa-tion of equipment and the con-nection to the sewer system al-ready installed.

Drainage of surface water ar-ound the building is under con-sideration to avoid a muddy ap-proach. Only detail yet to besettled is the responsibility fortheir maintenance.

The chamber of commerceand the Centennial Park Committee are to consider the problemjointly. If no maintenance pat-tern can be devised the toiletswill rapidly deteriorate, it isfeared.

Commented the committeechairman, "Your local chamberof commerce has no quarrel.with that!"

The chamber has asked for asupervising park assistant atMouat Park to provide a closercontrol on the park.

The government's park branobis making an assessment of theneeds of local parks and thereis still a possibility of a super-visor at least on a part-timebasis. A service building is tobe constructed at Mouat Park inthe near future.

Islanders interested in springor summer work are invited towrite to the Parks Branch, De-partment of Recreation and Conseryation, 1019 Wharf St., Vic-toria.

The flashing light indicatesthat passengers are embarkingon or leaving the bus, he pointsout, and that conditions are dan-gerous.

Boating is a way of life in ttieGulf Islands. It can be fun butit.can also be dangerous! Imust apologize for beginningthis article on a rather sombrenote but I think it is most imp-ortant, so here goes:

Drownings in B. C. for 1970were 237 of which 100 werecaused by boating accidents.

^Boating deaths from falling^erboard numbered 12 persons;power boats accounted for 81and non-power boats for 7 of thefatalities in the boating figures.

When one stops and realizesthat, if the present trend contin-ues, the number of boats inB.C. will double every 5 years,the above figures become fright-ening.

We must become safety con-scious; we must practise safetyafloat!

Have you ever had a lifeboatdrill or a damage control exer-cise on your boat? It reallydoesn't matter if your boat is 8*or 50 feet, have you ever satdown and thought about, or act-ed out exactly what you woulddo in an emergency!! Youshould, you know; your life andthe lives of your passengers de-pend on it!FALLING OVERBOARD

All commercial airlines, allpassenger ships, carry a co-pilota first officer or someone whocan take over in an emergency.Now all us married men haveourchief mate with us most ofthe time we go boating. If sheis not with us, perhaps it's oursons, our daughters, or friends.How many of these people arecapable-, of taking over in caseof an emergency? We know

the Christmas bazaar. Tuesday,Nov. 30, was the date chosen.

Depending on the strawberrycrop, Tuesday, June 29 is a pos-sible date for the StrawberryShortcake Tea.

Theme of the Missionary Stud}led by Mrs. Fred Anderson was"Poverty." The phase of pover-ty under study was abortion, asubject which is found severaltimes in almost every paper ev-ery day.

Mrs. Anderson and other mem'bers had brought clippings fromrecent papers. All, knowingfrom last month what the subjectwould be, had given it carefulthought. Two issues of the Unit-ed Church publication, "TheObserver" had dealt with theGeneral Council's discussions.

Mrs. Anderson urged those present to make their views known.

The Secretary was instructedto write on behalf of Mizpah toa member of the Federal Parlia-

and the Provincial Legisl-endorsing the stand taken

by the representatives of the Un-ited Church at General Councilthis year.

The meeting closed with theMizpah Benediction. Tea wasserved by Mrs. J.W. Catto andMiss O. Mouat.

the skipper should be the last toleave the ship - what if he isthe (Oust ?RULE I Always make certainthat someone in the boat besidesyourself knows how to handle herand handle her well. Their abi-lity to do so may save your life.

If you are alone in your boatand you fall overboard your boatkeeps going! Whether it be themotor, the wind, the tides orwhat-have-you, everything con-spires to keep the boat awayfrom you. It is mighty cold andlonely out there, and if you can'treach your boat or shore you arein trouble - real trouble.RULE 2 Always have a life lineaboard. If you are alone, at-tach it to a small float and towit behind - if you go over, youhave a chance to get back toyour boat (if you catch the line)If someone else falls over getthe line over to them as quick-ly as possible.

Should you jump to effect arescue take the line with you.

Make certain that one end issecurely fastened to your vesselin all instances.

Finally, it helps to be a goodswimmer, but whether you swiror not you need all the help youcan get when you hit that water,

CENTENNIAL MEMO - The firstChief Justice of Vancouver IslandDavid Cameron, was a brother-in-law of Sir James Douglas.

MAX WELLSHEADSGOLFERSAt the annual meeting of the

Galiano Golf and Country Clubheld last month, Max Wellswas elected president by accla-mation.

Jack Bickerton is the socialchairman; Arthur Platt was re-appointed Club Captain; RobertAston is treasurer, Miss JeanLockwood, secretary, with Dr.Glenn Stahl, immediate past-president, Peter Darling and MrsRoger Smith, on the committee.

Other members will be co—opted from time to time to assistin special events.

Ladies' Day has been put backto Tuesdays, to conform withother clubs.

On Saturday, April 24, a "co-vered dish supper" is planned atthe club house, for members andfriends. It is hoped to have alarge turnout. They have anactive and energetic committeeto organize it.

Many things can happen - youcould strike your head, youcould be hit by the propeller,you could be unconscious fromthe shock of the cold water.

RULE 3 Wear a life jacket atall times!! When momentscount, a life preserver meansthe difference between life anddeath.

May I suggest you obtain thenew copy of "Safety Afloat" -it is published by the Depart-ment of Transport.

It is free.It'is excellent.Have fun, and happy boating!

SA TURN ABY PAPAJOHN

It looks like blissful Bea Ham-ilton has beat us all spring. Firstwith the humming birds and swa-llows, but our ospreys are backagain this year.

Over for their annual visit toour wee kirk were the Oak BayChoir, led by Charles Palmer,and 40 choristers who gave a ster-ling performance on Saturdayafternoon in St. Christopher's.They arrived on the noon ferryand had lunch in the hall provid-ed by the fair ladies of the con-gregation. It was a very happyoccasion for everyone at this Ea-ster season.

See Capt. Donald and keenKathleen McKay with their newyacht at the morning service.

Guests of our favorite padrethis last week was janusia JoanWhiting of Winnipeg. Rev. Jackand Elfin Elsie had a great gab-fest about Winnipeg with theirguest.

Staying with Papa John andGranmarie this last week have

been son John and bewitchingBarb with grandsons John andTodd. Our sympathies were allout with grandson number one a-bout his sore leg and it lookedlike a real bad cruise until Gran-marie got him in the tub andmost of it washed off.

Elmore and ebullient ElsieHodgson of Livelong, Sask. ,ha\ebeen on our island all winter butnow have had to go home forthe spring planting. They leftwith regret and vow that this isthe place to live. They want tothank all Saturna Islanders forbeing so nice to them duringtheir stay here.

Guests of Steve and mellowMyrt Maskow were daughter lus-cious Lorraine Daryl and her fa-mily. Granpa Steve had quite atime keeping up with grandsonDaryl but he proved that there islots of life in the old boy yet.

Our "NEW" Post office is nowopen and will be a big help ingetting our mail from now on.Of course like everything newthere are innumerable wrinklesyet to be ironed out, but it isa real asset to the island.

Over for an all-too-short visitto Granpa Jim and Granma Loui-sa Gal Money was blithe BettyPetersen withGordon, Danny andlilting Lori. Blithe Bettina, al-though a southpaw, is still able

' to give Louisa Gal pointers onpainting.

The sad news is not good thisweek. Rapt Ruth Connor is stillin Lady Minto and bonny BeaFreeze is still in Victoria hospit-al. Bucky Crooks had to get oldfaijhful Dave Jacks to take himover to Lady Minto with a torntoe nail but is now home.

NEW PATTERN OF APPEAL

Park Seeks Northerly FundsFunds for the Centennial Park

at Ganges are to be mainlysought from the north end ofSalt Spring Island.

In past years the Salt SpringIsland Centennial Park Societyhas raised funds by the GreasyPig Contest, bake sales, bandconcerts in the Park and an an-nual house-to-house member-ship drive undertaken by volun-teer canvassers.

This year the membershipdrive will be different.

Next week membership cardsfor 1971 will be mailed to all1970 Centennial Park Societymembers as well as to all otherresidents of the northerly partof Salt Spring Island.

The Fulford area will not beincluded because DrummondPark is now in existence and thecommittee feels it is unfair to

a sk for contributions from thosewho are primarily committedto maintenance of a Park intheir own area.

Any contributions receivedfrom this source will be grate-fully accepted, and a member-ship card would be promptlymailed, said Adrian Wolfe-Mil ner.
