John Tisdalle will serve againin the provincial legislature. OnWednesday last weeK Saanichand the Islands gave him ahandsome margin over his near-est contestant for the seat hehas held for 17 years.

With a vote of 9577, he ledN'DP Don Johannessen with 6791and Liberal Louis Lindholm at3228.

From the commencement of

counting there was little doubtof the results. As poll after pollsupported the Social Credit can-didate, reports were alreadycoming in of the provinciallandslide to the Bennett govern-ment.

Although there had beensome speculation that the NewDemocrats might take the seat,there was no such fear in theSocial Credit camp.

ELECTION RESULTSIsland voters echoed closely the overall picture of support for the

government candidate. Only in two polls did the NDP's Don Joh-annessen lead Social Credit John Tisdalle. At North Ga'liane ^fif, „>.-Tisdalle garnered one vote against the New Democrats' 27 and atMayne the Tisdalle vote was 67, with 75 for Johannessen.

Of the voters registered, 79.5% attended the polls, throughout theconstituency.

Tisdalle made out slightly better in the islands than the remaind-er of the constituency. Here, he polled slightly better than 50 percent of the total vote whereas over the entire constituency, he end-ed up with almost 49 per cent.

LUAU RUNS 12 HOURSSalt Spring Islanders had their

first taste of Hawaiian feastinglast week. Luau sponsored bySilt Spring Island Rotary Clubwas set up by Ernie Lowe andGraham White on the Lakeridgegrounds.

Rotary Club undertook refresh-ments while the two Hawaiianstyle cooks prepared the meal.

First Luau ran for 12 hours.Commencing at 4:30 p.m. onFriday it went through until ab-out 4:30 a.m. on Saturday.

Despite a swarm of hungry is-landers, there was a large supply

of underground cooking left overthe next day.

Food was cooked in pits heat-ed by hot stones and coveredwith earth. With the food supplywas a live orchestra for dancingin the open.

Besides Rotarians, there wereguests from all parts of the coas-tal area.

Meal of different meats, potk,chicken and salmon, with a var-iety of vegetables was bland andtender.

Mr. Lowe is hoping to see theLuau established as an annualevent.

Concrete is an aggravation onSalt Spring Island as wharfs ser-ving the island are collapsingfrom heavy weights.

Until such repairs are comple-ted arrangements have beenmade to open the provincialweigh station at Elk Lake at 7a.m. daily. This will permita concrete truck to check itsweight en route for the 7:30 a. mferry. Ferry staff will acceptconcrete trucks only with a tick-et from the weigh station.

While both wharfs were out ofcommission such trucks couldonly reach Salt Spring Island viaPender Island. The vehiclewould travel aboard the MayneQueen to Otter Bay and thereaf-ter to the Sechelt Queen forLong Harbour. Cost was inthe region of $55 a yard for con-crete brought in by this route.

Fulford wharf was repairedlast week and is now backcommission.

This week brings a new restri-ction and Fulford wharf is nowrestricted to a limit of 20 tons.Like Crofton wharf, it has suff-ered from an inspection. Thetimber wharfs and piers are tooweak and too short-lived formodern traffic. Limit on theFulford wharf is likely to conti-nue indefinitely, DRIFTWOODwas told.

Contractors are back to thedrawing boards. Concrete truckcoming under the load limitwould DC carrying a maxfmumof 4 1/2 yards. Cost of shippingremain the same as for a fullload. Cost per yard, accordinging to a Victoria firm, will bein the vicinity of $40.

Hush is "Shut Up" in any ac-cent, and it's the language thatkeeps us apart. M. Cardinal ofthe Quebec government ex-plained on the national televi-sion recently that the Frenchlanguage is the factor that holdstogether the six millions ofFrench-speaking Quebec people.Here, in the wet spray of thePacific enclosed waters, it isthe English language that keepsus apart.

We have more varieties of Eng-lish than opinions on which isthe right variety. The CanadianEnglish spoken largely by theEnglish-speaking Canadians andby some French-speaking Canad-ians who also speak English, isthe most common variety. It isunderstood everywhere in Eng-lish-speaking Canada. There arcminor variations of the basic pa-ttern, but only a language exo-ert can readily identify them.Canadian English talks of dollars,prices, costs, sports, hunting,fishing, Bennett, automobiles,whisky and pollution and Trudeauin no order.

Then we have the AmericanEnglish. A variation from theCanadian English, this languageemploys no letter "U" in the"our" endings; it introducedsome changes in meaning andmany in nuance and is compre-hensible everywhere in English-speaking Canada. The southernAmerican English is less compre-hensible probably because itcomes a long way before it getshere. The New York variety isfamous through films and the re-gional changes are sometimesbeyond the range of the delicate-ly tuned Canadian ear. Ameri-can English talks of dollars, cents,crisis, negroes, war, Crisis,civil rights, civil riots and crisisin about that order.

The English English is the var-iety that is imported with plusfours and tweed skirts. Long inthe vowel it is broadly compre-hensible to most English-speak-ing Canadians everywhere. Eng-lish English deals mostly withthe "U" in "our" words, the way

it is done in the old country,Tories, the ineffable socialists,and the good clean humor of theBritish music hall, in no partic-ular order.

Scottish English is to be "dist-inguished from'English Scotchwhich goes with soda and IrishEnglish is double-barrelled andfiring rapidly at the oresenttime. Australian English is acomparitive rarity and for thesake of convenience may be in-cluded with English English andfew English speaking Canadianscould tell the difference.

This confusion of languagefrequently leads to misunder-standing; sometimes to laughter,oftimes to frustration.

When English is so difficultand so varied is it surprising'thaion the-west coast islands wehave little time to argue aboutspeaking English or French.We're too busy!

AN ELECTION

There was never a battle but what someone waslicking his wounds. Last week's election battle lefttwo parties licking open sores as the Premier of BritishColumbia left the field unscathed.

The results were predicted only b/ Premier Bennett.A few newsmen came close to home in forecasting aSocial Credit government. None foresaw the recordsupport accorded Mr. Bennett and his cohorts.

In Saanich and the Islands, where the New Demo-crats were hopeful of shaking the Social Credit story,John Tisdalle did what he had so often done in thepast and romped home with ease.

Today, three parties are assessing the picture. Threedifferent answers are probably being unearrhede

What led to a sweeping victory for Mr. Bennett anda hopeless confusion for most election forecasters?

It was not simply that the people are satisfied withthe Social Credit story and it is not simply that thepeople of the province are fearful of Socialism.

Basically, the Social Credit record is a good one0

Premier Bennett has led his government through a patt-ern of service. We have more roads, more railwa/,more ships, more power, more money that we have ev-er known. Where did it come from? Mr. Bennett!

That he had working for him.New Democrats had elected a new leader, not too

popular in the province. He proved no more so in hishome constituency. Where did they lose?

Mr. Berger is an intellectual, therefore cold andimpersonal. The people probably see him as the per-sonification of Socialism, the science, rather thonSocialism, the people. His party is identified withlabor and labor is out^jf favor. Part of his rejectionwas a backlash against labor with its constant strikesand strike threats.

But in the middle came the Liberals. • Where werethey when the votes were dished out?

The left-wing voter: the man who favors socialisticadministration, had already looked to the New Demo-crats. If he was disillusioned towards labor he wouldlook to Social Credit which could form the govern-ment, rather than the Liberals who could not.

Look, said the critics, at the record of scandaland mismanagement.

The average voter expects scandal. He knows pol-itics is a dirty game. Why would the chance publicdiscovery put him off any party? Furthermore, theSocial Credit government is the Premier W. A. C.Bennett government. There has never been a breathof scandal against the Premier. To the contrary f heIs always seen as the champion of the victim of anyimpropriety.

Perhaps it was all of these things: a Bennett triumph,a revolt against labor unrest, dissatisfaction with theNew Democrat offering and lack of confidence in the

Liberal chances.Perhaps it was a province-wide acceptance of the

fear of "Marxian Socialism". Whatever caused thetrend it was a triumph for Premier Bennett and hisgovernment, and for John Tisdalle, here at homo.

STAGEIS SET

BY ELSIE BROWNThe Mayne Island Agriculture

Society has big plans for recrea-tion on Mayne Island.

The hall committee and theexecutive have devised and setup rates which were formulatedto accommodate groups withlimited budgets.

This was taken advantage oflast year by Mrs. Ron Mitchell'sArt group and the badmintonclub led by Mrs. Fred Bennett.These groups were well organi-zed and enjoyed by those takingpart.

These rates are still in effectand the Society hopes thesegroups will soon be using thehall again and enjoying theiractivity.

Plans are well under way forsquare dancing on Mayne Island.The only unknown requirementis the number of people whowish to participate. Clubs forgroup participation must be selfsupporting and there must beenough who wish to enjoy theiractivity to warrant its existence.Anyone interested in SquareDancing on Mayne Island shouldphone Mrs. Jack Evans, secret-ary of the society or phone Mrs.Jesse Brown who is trying to con-tact those who may wish to join.Islanders looking for any otheractivity may make their wishesknown to Mrs. Evans. The exe-cutive of the Mayne Island Agri-culture Society through the hallcommittee, will consider mak-ing the hall available to them.The rates are very reasonable.

There is leadership availableon the Island for many activitiesMrs. Ron Mitchell for art class-es; Maj. John Dought, for in-struction in musical instrumentsand chess; the Jesse Brown's forsquare dancing and the chancesare there are many others forother activities.

We understand that Mrs. RonMitchell is president of a ladiessewing and craft club which hada very successful year last yearand no doubt will soon be gett-ing together for another season.

Also there was an activebridge club which will likely bestarting another season soon.

The hall committee is plann-ing to furnish a club room wherethese and similar groups canmeet this winter at nominalcost.

The Agriculture Society hasplans for recreation on MayneIsland. Participation is open toevery one on the island.

Pete Frattinger is a man in alurry and his projects don't takevery long. The dark winter ev-enings hadn't even started whenle finished his first project. Nowie's on his second.

Project is a canoe, an Indiandug-out canoe.

Why a canoe?Don't ask him that! He tells

you of the lines and the sheerand the curves and the skill and

the complexity and then he hastold you everything.

Fact remains that when he setout to carve a 14 ft. Indian canoehe expected to take longer. Nowit's a popular sport among neigh-boring youngsters who are eagerto paddle the small vessel.

Once he had the canoe fini-shed and steamed and pulled outand painted there was nothingelse for it, he had to start ano-ther. He already has the logfor a 16-footer.

ENDseen a potter's wheel or a pieceof clay. Almost without guid-ance, they fashioned a numberof little pots and trays.

Exhibited at the Artcraft 69exhibition in Mahon Hall thissummer, the work of TinaLambe, 7 and Caroline Lambe,6, was warmly commended byvisitors.

The two young "Canadians"left Ireland three years ago.

There is a story behind everydisplay in a variety such as Art-craft.

The second annual exhibitionwas staged by the Gulf IslandsCommunity Arts Council. Ithad been open all summer andit closed its doors on Labour DayHundreds of visitors, local andtravelling, examined the dis-play, admiring, criticizing,jeering and buying. Majorityof work on display was for saleand the council takes only anominal commission.

It had been good. By LabourDay some exhibits had alreadyleft the hall. Some had beensold, other exhibits had beentaken out in order to be care-fully stored for future enjoy-ment or sale.

To recall every exhibitor isbeyond the range of any ob-server, but he tried.

K. P.Saunders' productionswere largely of the Beaver Poiriand Cusheon Cove area. Herpainting of the Cusheon CoveFarm was, to my mind, moreinteresting than the moods ofthe water.

Gwen Ruckle paints at andfrom Beaver Point and rangesover most of the island. Shesees darker skies and strongertones and graying seas, but mostSalt Spring Islanders are wellacquainted with Miss Ruckle'swork.

Lorna Tweedale, from Galia-no, offered a small display,starting as most local paintersdo, with trees and the rocks ofthe islands.

Gordon Matthews, a veteranof the north country, showedpaintings of many parts of thenorthern interior. His exhibitswere numerous and covered awide range of subjects.

Ragna Fredrickson, of Galianowas also looking at the sea forher inspiration.

Mrs. B. H. Patterson was earls,for the fall and winter, whilethe portraits by P. K. Bhattachar-jee were striking.

"You must have been drinkingwhen you went for that theme,a visitor told one artist. He wasdelighted, "How did you know?he asked, happily.

Barn, by J. Wyckoff could beon any of the islands, and prob-ably is.

Mrs. Goodman included sever'al works, starting from the prai-rie.

Scot Clarke has been every-where and his paintings were ev-erywhere. Salt Spring Islandartist for many years, his workis already familiar to most inthe district. He could have cov-ered a fair-sized wall with hisexhibits.

Alfred Rose is far from an oldman. Teenager displayed anumber of charcoal drawings,all very attractive.

Thursday, September 4, 1969 Gulf Islands DRIFTWOOD Page Seven

Stage setting of paintings and craftsnanship makes an attractive picture

Ann Steward starts off with anabstract but also showed somerealistic work.

The man lighting a cigaretteby Mrs. McDermott stands out.It is extremely well done and isimaginative. Mrs. McDermottshowed several other works.

The artists followed no patternSome used their full names, oth-ers their initials and a few, asMrs. McDermott and Mrs. Good-man, simply their surname andstatus.

Then there was the mysteri-ous Mrs. Hamilton. No onecould identify her althoughthere were a number of her ex-hibits. Mrs. Hamilton, I bel-ieve, had some works acceptedand exhibited in Vancouverearlier this year. She was iden-tified in those terms and with-out an address. Not even thestaff at the display knew her.

June Mitchell showed flowers,of course and Bessie Fry Symons'work was floral.

The sunset scene by DorothyMiles Pickup was pleasing al-though vivid and stood out withher Tahito. Both were inflamed

Mrs. McLennan offered a nu-mber of local scenes.

One of the few portrait paint-ers, R. Griffin showed his trans-lations of a number of celebrit-ies as well as a variety of othersubjects.

Elizabeth Margaret Hopkinswas different andMrs. T. W.Mouat had a floral and a land-scape on show.

Joyce Mitchell is the MayneIsland art instructor and herwork was her justification.

There were others, many oth-ers, whose work has alreadybeen removed or sold.

For an amateur artist like ibe.'writer, it would be impossibleto assess the best or the mostappealing. Yet, to each one ofus, there is one here and onethere that really catches theeye. Often enough the same

selection will catch no othereye.

The crafts were more diffi-cult. You can't hide a fairsized canvas, but you can'tspot a miniature exquisite am-ong other exquisite miniaturesnearly as readily.

Salty was there with his cart-oons and the Harcus maps wereon display. Salty is the typicalislander invented and createdby Art Simons who appears eachweek in DRIFTWOOD.

The map by T.E.Harcus isthe islands overall map on hisprojection to give the illusionof looking from a great height.

Work had to be local or witha local link.

Main craft on the tables waspottery work. There was asmall offering by WinifredSmith and a larger one by theAddys. Each enthusiast has adifferent style, a different tastein colors and the effect is var-ied according to the cooking.

There was work by CarolSouthward with the glaze byJim. Mrs. M. Pearce and Mrs.J. S.Jones offered ceramics andother work. Cara showed rho-donite and Kay Oliver's displaywas popular.

The Addys had a table filledwith their work.

Mary Miller's shells were at-tractive and cleverly done.

C. C. Kirk had the thing beat.He showed a case of carvings inebony and ivory. One of theminiatures was a carving of an-other exhibitor, Windsor Uttleywhose exhibits were still life.

P. Kitchener's realistic Indi-an masks have already found akeen following. From thesheep's back to your back wasthe theme of the work by Mrs.J.M.Campbell, Saturna. Sheshowed raw wool up to the f in-ished sweater.

The ebony and ivory by Kirkincluded very clever miniaturesof prominent world figures aswell as an ebony carving of hiscolored cook when he was liv-ing in Africa. .

Polished driftwood by EarlyYoung, of Galiano is one of theisland's notable exports. Thedisplay included one piecewhich had been earlier success-ful in the Pacific -National Ex-hibition.

There were other exhibits,but they were already gone byLabour Day. Many had beensold.

There is a wide range of tal-ent among the islands and awide range of subjects. Theexhibition was originallyplanned as a summer workshopin the arts. It promptly becamean exhibition and has remainedso for two summers.

By Wednesday the hall hadreturned to its normal emptystate and Artcraft 69 was a thingof the past, ready for Artcraft70 next year.

RECREATIONFACILITIESDIMINISHED BYFOREIGN SALES

Conservative leader, John deWolf, is fearful of losing theprovince's recreational resour-ces.

Last week in the Okanagan,1,000 feet of prime lakeshorefrontage was sold to an Americ-an at a price of $140,000. fora private family estate, he toldvisitors to Mayne Fair

" The buyer's nationalityis not important. What is im-portant is that, to my own lim-ited knowledge this summer,some 35, 000 feet of similarfrontage on the Okanagan hasbeen bought for similar purpos-es," he noted.

Strategic tracts in the Carib-oo and Kami oops areas are gonelarge chunks of the Gulf Islandsincluding whole islands are goneand the same is true of the Low-er Mainland coast, the Shuswapand other prime recreationalareas in this province, and hewas beginning to get concerned,

"I am not concerned aboutwhether wealthy Americans ortitled Europeans wish to buyland for recreational retreats inBritish Columbia, because atleast some of them have a bett-er idea of why this land is need-ed and what to do with it - and,for that matter, how to developit - than we."

"I am concerned, however,by what I believe is a total lackof vision. A lack of planning.And the lack of a policy thatallows on the one hand badlyneeded areas to be alienated toexcessively large private andexclusive estates; and that onthe other hand allows -the devel-opment and sale of summer re-creational lots that are toosmall and crowded, too poorlyserviced and supplied, and -ifI may say this - in some casesfar too high in price."

He proposed that B. C. beginto treat available recreationalheritage as a trust, to be wiselyused, and to be available to all.

"I want to avoid that daywhen, 10 years from now, thatday when the demand for rec-reation becomes intense, thatday when the majority of fami-lies in B. C. can afford to havea summer retreat or cottage oftheir own, that day when soar-ing prices consume our agricul-tural and other land, so that wein this province will have to re-sort to expropriation on a majorscale and undergo a massivecost.

We can avoid that day, if wemove soon, and the next sessionof the Legislature is soon enough

SATU RN A " BYPAPAJOHN

Mirthful Myrt Miller has comeriome from her yearly jaunt tothe north but this time mirthfulbrought back some moose meatjust so Dan has no alibi to im-bibe in moose milk but now hasmoose meat. At the barbecuethis year one of the St.John Am-bulance folks was velvet VioletStamyer who is mirthful Myrt'ssister and lo and behold! shehas been on Saturna for a monthwith her family looking aftermirthful's house and garden. Andwouldn't you know she is no soo-ner off Island than we could havehave used her St. John experi -ence.

Donald and his mum, candyCandace McFadden have repain-ted their home and Bucky andjingling Janice Crooks havemoved in. Until they could geta hoose to rent they have beenguests at Barry and banteringBernice Crooks Lyall Hill home.

The word CLAN in gaelicmeans family. Well the CloseClan Bob and kidding Kay Closeand family; Alec and engagingEmily Close and family; SilvanStella and refreshing RandyCoombs and lacy Laura Coombs'daughter, dashing Diana Coombsall put out the fiery cross andhad a celebration. Bob and sil-van Stella had electricity at last.As kidding Kay says, after allsummer with a dead fridge!

Devastating Debbie McDonaldhas a horse named Brandy and asthe McDonalds have moved offIsland and as Brandy got lone-some he decamped out of hispasture in Lyall Harbour andwandered over to vital Vi Shin-duke's green grass for which Ithink he showed a lot of horsesense. BUT somebody had toget Brandy back for Mel McDon-ald to get on Sunday so DonaldDavidson with help from bashfulBetty Capentier and. a ^flock ofhelpers got Brandy into pasture.

Stevie Lawson had a birthdaylast week and irrestible Irenehad a grand party for him. WishI was as happy about b-days.

A lot of good people.from Ev-erett, Washington, have homeson Saturna. The newest onesare Ron and lavish Lucille Brot-ten who have bought the oldGray Cottage on Sunset Boule-vard. With family, radiantRuth and rousing Ronda havebeen busy getting the place liv-able so they can retire to ourblissful Isle.

We had some sad news lastweek but not too sad. Ray Mogsuffered a sudden attack of ap-pendicitis and had to be rushedto Lady Minto and operated on.Ray is now home but his motherlively Lexie will be in LadyMinto also this week for an op-eration. George Morgan is

still over there and is- doingfine. Bertha Silvester wasflown over to Vancouver and isin hospital there now. SteveSinclair is also in Lady Mintofor observation. We wish oneand all a safe recovery and re-turn home as soon as possible.

Bewitching Barbarawith the heirs to my millions,grandsons Liljohn and Todd.SonJohn came up on Friday nightwith mesmeric Marie Baynes.One nice thing about a housefulof guests is that by the timeyour turn comes for the bath-room the seat is nice and warm.Year-and-a-half old grandsonTodd calls me Johnnie.

Also as guests earlier in theweek we had kidding Kathie

Hendicks and joking JeanetteDee who had just returned fromfive years in Toronto and wasso happy to be back on thecoast that makes us think maybewe should go away for awhile.

Guests of Al and musical MargKerr were George and dryad DotSitwell with daughter sylvan Sy-lvia , who sure likes her UncleAl.

Casey Cnrpentier is home aft-' er a week spent as guest of TheEmmott's in Burnaby. MaybeAnn Sinclair will have had herBABY by the time this is read.Cliff Sacker over working on hishouse. Dave and glistening

AT LADY MINTO HOSPITAL

SLEEPING IN THE CORRIDORSBusiness continues brisk at

Lady Minto Hospital and bedsset up in the corridor are quitecommon now.

Extension of the building hasbeen delayed for a number ofreasons.

Hospital board feels that witha further 15 beds several ch£n-ges are needed in the existentstructure.

Chairman of the board, DougCavaye explained that the pre-sent manual elevator handlestwo or three trays at a time toserve a total of about 2, 600meals, each month. A new el-evator is needed. This is par-ticularly significant in the faceof an increase in the number ofmeals to perhaps 4, 000 eachmonth after the building is ex-tended.

Office facilities and the nur-sing station are much too crow-ded as are the doctors' officeand laboratory, said the chair-man. The X-ray rooms alsoneed extension.

All these aspects of the newision have been discussed

wiili the agencies involved.The architect and the RegionalHoard and the hospital insurance

In addition to the simple prep-arations for a bigger demand onhospital facilities, the GreaterVictoria Metropolitan Board ofHealth require changes in thedrainage field before any workcan be undertaken.

Engineers' report shows a callfor about $8, 500 before the pro-ject can go through.

The local board has to presentthis problem to the RegionalHospital District. The districtmeets only once or twice amonth which occasions still fur-ther delays.

No funds were sought lastyear for acute care and thechanges may have to be set as-ide until the 15 extended carebeds have been taken care of.
