LETTER-TO-EDITOR DEPT "Dear Sir, May I as President of theFulford Hall Community Assn., and on behalf of the Committeethereof extend our thanks to all who helped in our Victoria Csle-brations, at Ganges on May 23rd. It was an histcrical event forSaltSpring Island. For many, many years, this traditional event has beenheld at Fulford Harbour, and this year it was decided to hold it atGanges, Not only from the point of view that there are more faci-lities at Ganges, but to knit together the north and the south of ourIsland as one Community working together for the prosperity of all,and to the benefit of our young children and adult residents. In myaddress of welcome I stressed this objective, and after officially in-troducing the Queen and Princesses elect, who had been chosen bypopular vote by their fellow Students, I think Her Majesty QueenKathleen's speech put forward a challenge to every one of us in thisCommunity. Her Majesty's speech was thus:-"Ladies and Gentlemen,Boys and Girls. Today, you have bestowed on me the honour of beingcrowned your May Queen. To me it will be a day that I will cherishand recall throughout the years to come. To my fellow High School

Students who elected me~Tgive my sincere thanks, and on behalf of my two Attendants I thank you again.May the year of my reign bring to this Community of Salt Spring Island, peace, contentment, and prosperi-ty. My own wish is that we live as neighbours with love, tolerance, and understanding foremost in ourthoughts and actions. Let us all be able to say that we believe in Canada, with pride in her past, Beliefin her present, and faith in her future".. (Signed) Doug Drne, Pres. Mrs. M Gyves V/Pres. Dave Slings-by Sec/Treas. , Miss Gladys Shaw, Rand Young,and Gavin Reynolds.

The members of the Ganges Business Men's Association and the Salt Spring Island Chamber of Commercehave made formal representation to the Department officials, to our Member and to the Premier regardingthe removal of the Motor Princess from the Swartz Bay-Fulford run and have been unable to have thatvessel kept between these ports. However, as a result of these representations tbe Government has author-ized a much more extensive service from Fulford to Swartz Bay by using the Deita Princess on that run andthe Motor Princess will still be partly in use on Sundays and Wednesdays and will handle the last run everyevening from Swartz Bay to Fulford. There are definite advantages to our Island in having all day serviceat Fulford connecting with every Government ferry from Tsawwassen at Swartz Bay and it was felt that thisservice largely mitigated, for the summer at least, the withdrawal of the more commodious Motor Princess.A definite assurance has been given the Chamber and the Association by Deputy Minister Miard that theMotor Princess will be coming back to the rulford-Swartz Bay run for the winter schedule. Our generalfeeling is that Mr. Westwood, Mr. Gaglardi and the Government Department involved have striven veryhard to arrive at a satisfactory solution of a most difficult problem.

We hope that wewill have their continued confidence and support".Mr. Bradley stated. Incidentally, Mr. Bradley haswrked as a baker sometime in his life before. Theinformation as to when he had worked as a bakerwas not forthcoming. As near as we can find out, itwas somewhat after the invention of the doughnut.Does anyone know how long ago that was ?

A HISTORY OF H.M.S. GANGES

Ganges Harbour of Salt Spring Island was named after this ship,once the flag-ship of the Pacific fleet. Fulford Harbour at SaltSpring

Island was named after her captain, Capt, John Fulford. She wasbuilt at Bombay, out of teak, in 1821, with a length of 196 ft.

Commissioned at Portsmouth, 31st May, 1823, for service on the

Jamaica Station. Afterwards 'erved on the South American Station,the Lisbon Station and in the Mediterranean, Participated in the

Syrian Campaign of 1840. On June 25th, 1857, commissioned atSheerness for service as flagship of the Pacific squadron. On her re-

turn to England in April, 1861, she had, during this commission.sailed over 60,000 miles. She was the last sailing ship to be a sea-

going flagship. From 1866 to 1899, she was employed as o TrainingShip for boys at Falmouth, in November of the latter year being trans-

ferred to Harwich, where she remained as part of the Training Estab-

ishment for Boys until 1906, when she was renamed "Tenedos 111, "

and became part of the Boy Artificers Establishment at Chatham. In1910 she was removed to Devonport and renamed "Indus V," forming

part of the establishment and workshop of Supernumerary Artificersand Boy Artificers. In 1922 she was renamed "Impregnable 111" andadded to the Training Establishment for Boys at Devenport. She was

sold out of the Service in 1929 and was broken up (1930) in Ply-mouth. On November 21st, 1855, Napier arrived off Alexandria,

where he found the "Rodney," "Revenge," "Ganges," "Vanguard"

and "Cambridge" of the line, with the "Carysport" frigate and"Medes'

steamer. With this force Napier blockaded the port.On June 25th, 1857, Captain John Fulford (retired Vice-Admiral,

7th May, 1872} hoisted his pennant in the "Ganges" at Portsmouth

for service as a Flagship on the Pacific Station, during which she spent much of her time at or near

Esquimalt, B.C. Admiral Baynes wrote to James Douglas on October 18th, 1859:— "I have the honour to

inform you of my arrival at this port and of my desiro to meet the wishes of your Excellency in any waythat may tend to the protection and Integrity of British interests, the furtherance of her Majesty's Ser-vice and the advantage of this colony. ". .(Signed)"R.L.BAYNES."

The"Ganges" finally sailed from Esquimalt on the 10th September, 1860, bound for England. The"Ganges"

was the last sailing line of battleship to make the passage round South America without the aid of steam.

She sailed from Vancouver Island on September 20th, 1860, from San Francisco, October 4th; Valparaiso,

December 1 Hh, and reached Splthead April 24th, 1861.

EVEN A DOG CAN BECOME ARTHRITIC-MEDICALRESEARCHERS F:IND. .A dachshund is more;:tQ bepitied than laughed at. That sausage-shaped backnot only invites ridicule - it's a health hazard be-sides, says the Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism ,Society, According to recent iqfornrratfonjfrom ; ;

rheumatism researchers, dachshunds;are suscepti- ;ble to degenerative disc disepsc; which producessymptoms like those in. rheumatic diseases in humqns-and it's all on account of their funny figure. Whena dachshund gets old, he usually gets, fat, and be=cause he has a .pooriy constructed back - from themechanical point of view - the extra weight.pullsdown on his spine and bends :it. This squeezes thediscs and brings on the; disease.. The first sign thedog is in for trouble usually is his inability to climbstairs. He'll jump at them, but his hind legs won't ,follow his forelegs, because they hurt when-he tripsto move them. .So he'll just sit there looking at thestairs forlornly. After that, when the disease, hasprogressed a little further, his tail will begin tp. .droop and finally the. poor animal will suffer, com- ;

plete paralysis cf his hind quarters. And unless heundergoes surgery, he's doomed. ;

Other than surgery, the only treat-ment is rest - or a cast.

What you are about to read is not good poetry. Infact, it 's very bad poetry. But this I print becauseit comes from the heart and expresses an opinion thatis shared by many, many people of the Gulf Islands,It may be lousy poetry, but it is a high tribute to aman, his work and his dedication. I doubt if he willever receive a higher honour than this labour of loveby a thankful patient,

OUR DOCTORThere is a doctor in our small townWith reddish hair, he is well knownBlue eyes and the shyest .of smiles,God gave him hands for the healing of you,For years we've had him, a good doctor too,,

You can have scarlet fever, chicken pox, mumps,The gout, a chopped finger, or a very sore toe,A baby or two! and he's there to see you through.When en his days off, his telephone ringsHe works, instead of doing other things.

He plays with the children and jokes with the menHears with pity sad woes women folk tell,The Gulf Islands are lucky to have such a manWho gives so r~uch time, energy and goodwill,And then very likely waits months for his bill.

And now it is said he may soon go away,Ail of his patients sure wish he would stay,So wherever he goes, we all wish him well,For ye shall miss him and never forgetHere's ono doctor os the best we've had yet.
