THREE SLUGS IN HIVES

EvenBees AreShot At

Not even bees are safe fromirresponsible shots in the woods.

Andrew Eburne, of HappyValley Road, Victoria, keepsbees. He keeps bees everywhereincluding Salt Spring Island.

Some of the Eburne hives aresituated on Musgrave Mountainat the south end of Salt SpringIsland.

Mr. Eburne reports that " thesheep thieves or frustrated hunt-ers insisted on pumping threeshots from a . 22 into one of thehives".

The beekeeper adds that if themarksman wants his slugs backthey are there for the asking.The bees had no use for theslugs and dropped them outthrough the front of the hive.

Only sufferer is Mr. Eburne,himself, who must now under-take repairs to the hive, "whichshouldn't have been necessary".

SATURNALIA

FIRE FIGHTINGNearly all the men who fought

fires on Saturna Island this sum-mer have donated their chequesto a fund to purchase fire equip-ment.

With a start like this a meet-ing was called in the Moneyhome and a Fire Committee el-ected.

James Money is chairman,Myrt Maskow, secretary andDonna Begon will handle themoney.

It was decided to have a fundraising dance on the Thanksgiv--ino weekend, Saturday,'Oct. 11.There will be a door prize, araffle, and Davina Vincent pro-mises that the music will be fan-tastic.

"We can promise you thatit will be a grand party, a realSaturnalia", said Papa John, "somake your plans now, folks and.have fun helping us make somemoney for our fire department."

Sewage Board In Bad Odour

ISLANDERS HAVE HAD ENOUGH!Salt Spring Islanders are skep-

tical of government boards,J. J. Laurence observed at lastweek's public meeting on plan-ning.

"We made our position clearto the pollution control board,"recalled.Jhe speaker, "and theypa; ' no attention whatsoever."

^orther appeal is supposedto be pending, he added, butthe promoters have already star-ted with the project. He wasreferring to opposition amongislanders to the discharge of par-tially treated sewage into Trin-comali Channel from the Mai-view Estates property at WalkerHook.

"I feel that these meetingsare simply an exercise in futili-ty," he asserted.

Mr. Laurence asked whetherany survey had been made ofthe island in terms of availablewater supply.

"IS there a limit to the capa-city of the island to holdpeople?" he asked.

He came here four years agobecause it seemed a nice placeto retire.

"All summer the windowsrattled with explosions,"hecharged. New roads are spring-ing up everywhere.

The paradise of Salt Spring Is-land is becoming a veritablehell because at 6 o'clock in themorning the windows start ratt-ling, stated Mr. Laurence.

' People are coming here whe-ther we like it or not," warnedChamber president Gavin Rey-nolds, "we get letters from ev-

JOINTCOUNCIL

Gulf Islands Joint Council willmeet at Ganges on Saturday.

Representatives of the Gulf Is-lands will meet at HarbourHouse to discuss matters of con-cern to all the islands.

Formed by spokesmen fromchambers of commerce and com-munity organizations among theislands, the joint council is aloosely-knit body with no auth-ority, but enjoys limited govern-mental recognition as spokesmanfor islanders in certain areas.

The joint council was estab-lished as a common meetingground for exchange of views ontransportation needs and similarproblems affecting all islanders.

erywhere; from Germany, SpainItaly, asking about cominghere."

The community can't exer-cise any authority when a manwants to sell his property, addedthe president.

"Why not?" asked Mr. Laur-ence, "Why shouldn't I have asay whether you sell your prop-erty?"

He came here under misrep-resentation, he told the meet-ing.

"I was told there was enoughwater. There is now; in fouryears will there be enough?"

Mrs. Nita Brown respondedthat she had been on the islandfor 24 years and didn't deny hiscoming. Mr. Reynolds hadbeen here all his life.

"He didn't try to stop mecoming."

The meeting applauded Mrs.Brown's warning that it is nowup to the individual to supportthe planning project.

There was warm support forthe criticisms of governmentalboards. Many islanders are stillcritical of the provincial gover-nment for accepting an appealagainst its permit to dischargesewage into the sea while sanc-tioning the discharge.

MOTORCYCLIST SLAMS INTO BUS

THIRD DEATH ONSWITCHBACK

SECOND TRAGEDY FOR FAMILYYoung motorcyclist was killcc

killed on his way to school lastweek when he ran into a sta-tionary school bus on Fulford-Ganges Road. Steven EdwardReeves, 18, was the son of Mrs.Rosemary Reeves and the lateMr. Reeves, of Fulford. He wasa student at Gulf Islands Second-ary School.

It was raining at the time ofthe accident and visibility wasreduced. Bus was at the roadsidepicking up school children whenthe motorcycle ran into it.

Accident occurred on theswitchback section of roadsouth of Garner Road, wheretwo lives have already beenclaimed.

Death was the greater tragedyfor the fact that the boy's fatherthe late Donald Reeves, waskilled last year in an accidentwith a tractor at Fulford.

Funeral services were held onMonday afternoon in St.Mary'sAnglican church at Fulford,with Archdeacon R. B. Horsefieldofficiating. Goodman FuneralHome was in charge.

Gavin Reynolds, president ofthe Salt Spring Island Chamberof Commerce, has protested thecondition of the road. He fore-cast a further fatality at thatpoint when he pressed the mini-ster to improve the road withinthe last several months.

Mr. Reynolds told DRIFT -WOOD this week that he willcall for support from all parts ofthe island for a correction ofthe road condition. At the gen-eral meeting of his chamber onOctober 8, the road questionwill be thoroughly threshed out,he stated.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE

PLANNING PROGRAMMEETING EMBRACES PROMPT ACTION

Initial program of communityplanning is already starting onSalt Spring Island. At a publicmeeting last week Islanders ag-reed to go ahead with planningthe development of Salt Springon an unofficial basis.

Advisory planning committeewill.be set up with the partici-pation of all organizations inthe community. The needs andthe future pattern of island liv-ing will be considered by thecommittee in readiness for theinstitution of community plan-ning on the islands.

Proposal by Henry Schubart,'Old Scott Road architect, re-

ceived warm support on Wednes-day evening after two hours ofdiscussing planning needs.

Meeting was called by theSalt Spring Island Chamber ofCommerce in order to introduceCapital Region Planning Boarddirector Tony Roberts" to island-ers. Mr. Roberts explained theneeds and the technicalities ofplanned development.

Meeting was told that theplanning feasibility study at pre-sent being undertaken by Mr.Roberts and his associates will becompleted at the year's end.Thereport will be studied and thevarious matters connected withplanning will be discussed beforethe planning can be authorized,it was agreed. After planningis authorized a further study ofthe area for specific recommen-dations could delay the implem-entation of planning still further.

Mr. Schubart proposed the un-

official committee as a meansof bridging the gap.

"I am confident that the Capi-tal Region Planning Hoard as wellas the Regional District would beprepared to listen to the.recom-mendations of such a committeelie suggested.

Tiie proposal was approved bythe 50 or so ratepayers at themeeting.

Mr. Roberts introduced thesubject with the observation thatif the community wants to avoidcrash development of island pro-perties, then it needs planning.If it wants to arrest subdivisionit still needs planning.

"It will not be many years be-fore every piece of ];md on theisland that can be subdividedwill be developed and you willhave a little suburbia," hewarned.

Kind of planning sought orneeded would rest with the peo-ple of the island, he noted. 1'hefurther control of subdivisionscould be accomplished by desig-nating lot sizes, or the use ofland, with centralization ofcommercial areas and other spe-cifics. The introduction of plan-ning could also bring buildingregulations, with the require-ment that a building code be ad-opted and that all constructioncome up to a minimum standard

The extent to which develop-ment and control would be exer-ted would rest with the commu-nity, he emphasized.

I CAN'T HEAR A WORD YOU SAY !

Last Friday evening the newly formed Salt Spring Is-land Rotary Club staged its charter night formalities inthe auditorium of the Gulf Islands Secondary School.Visitors from many parts of the province were impressedwith the setting and design of the island high school.Many expressed admiration for the building.

Then they sat down to hear the various speakers.Fewheard all that was said. Few heard half of what wassaid. There is nothing more exasperating than sittingin a hall hoping to learn something from an address andthen be unable to hear the address.

If the condition were experienced only by adults,the answer would be obvious: the practice of rentingthe auditorium for use by the people who own it couldbe discontinued. This would merely eliminate wide-spread awareness of its shortcomings. The students areleft to suffer.

Earlier in the year the shortcomings of the hall werefrustrating when students took the trouble to present aseries of works but none could hear what they said.

The board of trustees is performing a disservice,tothe community for as long as they tolerate this woefulinadequacy in the building they administer.

It is time they woke up to the fact.

Joan Baez held the audience transfixed when she appeared asthe top attraction at this summer's Mariposa Folk Festival onToronto Island. She is one of many fine artists who will be seenand heard when CBC television presents Mariposa: A FolkFestival, Sunday, Sept. 28 (9:00 - 10:00 pjii. EOT. in color). Thehour-long program is an attempt to capture the atmosphere ofthe festival, not a formally structured concert.

REPORT FROM.

ENGLANDWhen Beth Hill left Gulf Isl-

ands Secondary School libraryto study at Cambridge we askedher for her view on England. In-stead of writing her own reac- }tions, Mrs. Ray Hill has assem-bled the following clippingsfrom English day-to-day serv-ings of news..

There are twenty tw'o cases ofleprosy in Leicester,, th'e city'smedical officer said yesterday.But, he added, there had beenonly two new cases this yearand no cause for alarm.

A frustrated fisherman, Mr.Richard Legg, today vv^kded inand caught a 9 Ib. turbot in hisarn^-at Weymouth Dorset.

Mr. William Sandford, 52, aganger, of llengrove Bristol wasdrowned yesterday when a down-pour of rain swept him away ashe was working in the city'ssewers. .

An investigation into the tele-phone service reveals that oneout of every four calls made inLondon g^?es wrong. The survey,carried out by the Consumers'Association, shows that there hasbeen no improvement in effici-ency since a similar investiga-tion four years ago.

Cambridge University scient-ist returns tomorrow with moon-dust.

The village of Thriplow, hasbred a super-fly, it was re-vealed at yesterday's meetingof the South Cambridgeshire'sRural Council. Instead of curl-ing up and dying at the firstsniff of that well-tried killerDDT, the Thriplow fly just car-ries on buzzing.

Mr. Wilfred Taylor, the 60-year-old senior partner in aCambridge hairdressing businesshas started wearing a frilly or-ange shirt, black bell-bottomedtrousers and boots, in a camp-aign to stop young men goingto ladies" hairdressers. Thefrilly suits will make the youngman feel more at home, saysMr. Taylor.

Fifteen workers at Sainbury's

meat processing factory inCambridgeshire have been senthome on full pay for threeweeks after confirmation thatthe landlord of the Red LionPublic House has typhoid.

Charles the Secret Swotter.Prince Charles, returning toCambridge University next weekhas been unobtrusively studyingwhile in Wales.

Two fifteen-year-old Camb-ridge students have run away toGretna Green.

Each morning two mattersvie for attention on the frontpage: the Belfast barricadesand the Loch Ness Monster Ex-pedition.

Today, on the barricade pro-blem, Sir Ian Freeland is quot-ed as saying "There are a num-ber of rather nasty fellows thereunhappily who are making itvery dodgy", a nice bit of un-derstatement.

About Nessy: today a collosalbone has been found "which anexpert said could be the thighbone of an animal not known toscience", but the Curator of aYork Museum claims it is "a

SOCCER TRAVELMAKES BIG ITEMFOR LEGION SPONSOR

Over 60 interested boys arenow enrolled for soccer on SaltSpring Island and a third teamis formed. Coach is StanMarsh.

Only 18 boys are allowed toregister on a team, so someboys will be disappointed, re-ports Bob Anderson.

Travelling expenses will behigh during the season whichruns from September to April.

The Royal Canadian Legionhas reaffirmed its support of oneteam but sponsors are urgentlyneeded for the other two teams,says Mr. Anderson.

Two teams came from Saan-ich Peninsula on Saturday toplay two Salt Spring Island soc-cer teams.

Two games were played atthe same time. One team def-ended the island in front of theelementary schod, while the se-cond team was playing on thepitch across Kanaka Road.

The boys were tearing aroundthe two fields, working hard atthe effort and shrieking loudly.

Soccer has an appeal thatmany other games lack. It en-ables most of the players to act-ively participate in the gamemost of the time they are play-ing. More than any other, soc-cer engages every player.

Too few youngsters participatein sports today and the volunt-eers of the community who prov-ide background and training forsuch recreations are playing animportant part in the upbringingof every player taking part.

THEY WERE DISMAYED

While visitors were walkingaround the auditorium of theGulf Islands Secondary Schoolat Ganges on Friday eveningthere were many expressions ofadmiration.

After the various speakers hadcompleted their addresses at thepresentation of the charter toSalt Spring Island Rotary Club,there were many expressions ofdismay.

Few guests heard all that wassaid during the evening. Manyheard nothing.

The new service club was us-ing public address system ofSalt Spring Island Lions Club,but it proved little better thanthe built-in equipment.

Garden ClubFALL SHOW

BY BEA HAMILTON

Once again the Salt Spring Is-land Garden Club members andfriends put on an excellent flow-er show in the Fulford Hall, heldlast Saturday, Sept. 20. Thesight of all the fall flowers wasgorgeous; color swept from endto end of the big hall and therewere many surprises and inter-esting things to see over andabove the display of fine mums,dahlias and other exhibits. Mr.and Mrs. Jack Beastall werethere to open the show and Capt.Luth was in excellent voice tointroduce the guests of honor.In fact, Mrs. Beastall rather en-vied him his lung power but in-deed, she needn t have worried,she did very well and spokeshortly and to the point. Mr.Beastall gave an informativetalk that pointed to better gard-ening but did say one thing thatthe writer thinks is a bit color-less, he said they (whoever"they" are) will consider doingaway with reds in the gardens."Red is too exciting," ne ex-plained. And there is food foran argument right away! Thehall was full of red flowers, thedahlias, zinnias, and many'oth-ers. Yet no one seemed overlyexcited. I tried to visualizethe show without the shades ofred that predominated and thevision was very flat. So Mr.Beastall, with all due respectfor your judgment, here's onewho disagrees!

The judges had been busy allmorning. They were; Mrs. E.McCabe and Mrs. L. Freeborn,for floral exhibits; Mrs. M.Poole and Mrs. S. Wagner fordecorative arrangements; andMr. P.G.James for fruit andvegetables. We are grateful toall the judges for their thoroughand conscientious work of judg-ing. Miss Betty Gait and Mrs.L.O.Tiffin sold tickets at thedoor. Mrs. N. A. How land andMrs. Guy Cunningham sold tea-tickets. The tea-room did arushing business. Mrs. Clai-bourne was in charge and did anexcellent job of organizing thework and looking after the many

ROTARIANS RECEIVE

Visiting Rotarian E.V. Landon presents books and badges to Robert Blundell and C.G. Matthews

Salt Spring Rotary Club be-came a recognized entity lastweek when the island serviceclub staged its charter night inthe auditorium of the Gulf Isl-ands Secondary School.

The sponsoring club, SidneyRotary Club, was here instrength as were clubs from allparts of Vancouver Island andthe mainland.

Tnking the chair during thefestive meeting was Master ofCeremonies, Dudley Johnson,president of the, Sidney Cluband the man who worked tobring the island club into being.

Mr. Johnson welcomed theguests and introduced the offici-ating Rotary dignitaries.

Charter was presented to thenew club by District GovernorCraig Reid, distinctive in hiskilt and Scottish dress.

Also taking part were E . V .Landon and Art Simpson, dist-rict officials of the service club.

PLANNING COMMITTEE(From Page One)

Wanning could be introducedunder the supervision of the Ca-pital Regional District, said Mr.Roberts, liecause this is a newfunction of the regional boardthere is at present no experienceof liow it would be handled, butthe pattern of the old communi-

ty planning area was a guide,hesuggested.

The regional board has appro-ximately the same powers as amunicipality.

Ernie Watson asked whetherthe regional district could expro-priate land zoned for commerci-al purposes if the owner held outfor an unreasonably high price.

No authority may expropriateland for any but administrativepurposes, he was told. If theland is needed for public build-ings, parks or other public purp-oses the regional board haspower to expropriate, but for noother reason.

C.R. Horel wanted to knowwhether the local communitywould have any say in the zon-ing or rezoning of land.

Local concern would be at se-veral levels, said Mr. Roberts.

The recommendation for zon-ing or for changes in zoningwould be considered by an advi-sory planning committee, consi-sting of local residents. It wouldthen come before the regionalboard on which selves one localdirector. The local director'sinstruction would heavily influ-ence the board members andthey would only normally goagainst his recommendation ifthey were convinced that he waswrong in his recommendation.Tjie local director has the rightof veto and could vote out aproposal for a change not soughtby his own community.

In addition the changing ofzoning patterns, by by-law,would require a public hearingbefore they could go ahead.

Mr. Schubart observed that iften islanders were asked for anopinion on planning needs for

the island there would probablybe ten different answers.

Mr. Morel's third question waswhether there would be a voteon planning before it was inaug-urated in me islands. The plan-ner was not certain of this point.Under the old system of planningand land use control a publicmeeting was mandatory. Hewas uncertain of this aspect ofthe new legislation.

If the people of Salt SpringIsland seek a close control oftheir destiny at the local levelthey would have to form a mun-icipality, observed RegionalBoard Director Doug Cavaye.

"We could get something doneby a municipality here," he toldthe meeting, "but not just Gan-ges. It would have to be allthe island, 77 square miles."

The people who turned downincorporation in Ganges werethe people who only pay $10 ayear in taxes, he added, "Notthose who pay $500" .

If the Capital Region adoptsregional planning, that is plan-ning of all parts of the area ar-ound Victoria, then it may proveincumbent on islanders to adoptlocal planning without any op-tion, he suggested.

Mr. Roberts reversed the patt-ern when he invited advice andobservations on island needs in

.terms of planning.Mr. Schubart suggested the

importance of relating futureneeds to the school situation. Healso cited the anger which hasshown itself in many communi-ties where the changes in thecommunity have forced up taxesto the extent where the poorerpeople are unable to meet thecost of living in the communityand leave.

"We want a say in planning

The three visitors explainedthe purpose and function of theRotary Club and outlined its po-sition in the community.

The Rotary Club provides ser-vice vo its community withoutconflict with any religion, ex-plained Mr. Reid. Each club isrepresentative of the communi-ty and seeks a membership com-prised of all pursuits of the peo-ple of the area.

Mr. Landon recalled that th-xRotary Club is the senior servi^,.club. Established to brine busi-nessmen together for the benefitof the community, it had neverfallen back.

There are other service clubs,he admitted, The Lions havecome.a long way, he told theaudience, but Rotarians can yetlook back on the longest of allrecords of community achieve-ment.

In addition to the formal pre-sentation of the charter, thenew club was showered with

f ifts from other clubs. Clubanner, name cards, bell and

gavel and handbooks were alldonated.

our own island," asserted Mrs.Jan Harkema, "We have beeninvolved once and we weretrampled on."

When Mr. Watson suggestedthat the discussions had broughtout the dire need for a munici-pality, Mr. Roberts pointed outthat it was not his function totell islanders what to do and par-ticularly so in terms of incorpor-ating a municipality.

"We must get together and wemust think in terms of controll-ing our own destiny," stated Mr.Watson.

The Salt Spring Island Cham-ber of Commerce will sponsorthe advisory planning committeeand a meeting will be arrangedwhen the chamber stages itsgeneral meeting on October 8.

MAYNEBY ELSIE BROWN

Week-enders are still makingtheir regular trips to the islandsjudging from the number gettingoff the Sechelt Queen at 11 a.m.Saturday morning. We willsoon need a larger area for carsdelivering passengers and pick-ing them up. Cars and truckswere loaded coming from themainland - one would think itwas holiday season. Perhaps wecan compete with Hawaii afterall!

Six members of the Mayne Is-land Agricultural Society atten-ded the Fall Flower Show heldat Fulford Hall, Salt Spring Isl-and last Saturday and had awonderful time. (We remindedthe crew we WANTED to go toSalt Spring this time).

The flowers and vegetableswere of superb quality and allclasses were represented. Niceto see so many people we know,and meet people we wouldn'tmeet otherwise.

After listening to Mr.Beastallon Garden Note Book over CJVIfor many years it was a privil-ege to make his acquaintanceand meet his charming wife,Hilda who writes Home Gardenin the Victoria Daily Times.

Mr. and Mrs. P. G. Jameswere their usual genial selves.

We are still exclaiming overthose attractive arrangements.Congratulations to all the exhi-bitors and the ladies who wereresponsible for the delightfultea. We had more than ourshare of the sandwiches andgoodies. Hope we can recipro-cate some day.

We decided to take the longway home and returned via theSalt Spring Queen and theMayne Queen. Phoning had tobe done by the Captain of theS.S.Q. to inform the M.Q.thatpassengers were wanting to comeaboard. No problem and arr-ived home safely. The driverof the car was Jesse Brown andhis passemgers were Meg Drum-mond, Marion Kerby, Grace Ev-ans and daughter Evans and youistruly, Elsie Brown. (Sorry noone home at DRIFTWOOD - dayoff, I guess.)

AMBULANCEHow busy is an emergency

ambulance?Last week at the annual meet-

ing of the Salt Spring Lions Am-bulance Society it was announcedthat there had been 591 calls forthe ambulance.

The society is solvent, with acomfortable reserve, the memb-ers of the society were told. Noincrease in rates was contempla-ted, but it was agreed that adrive be launched for members.

The emergency service ismaintained By the Lions on theisland. Costs are borne by themembership fee of $5 per yearper family. Each member ofthe society is then entitled tothe service of the ambulance atany time in the year withoutcharge.

Where a call is answered froma person who is not a member ofthe society a commercial feeis charged.

Evelyn Mussick, Fernhill Roadhad a rather interesting experi-ence involving both wild anddomestic animals. No camerahandly unfortunately. Evelynand new neighbor, Mr. Lockeywere in conversation as Ev wasreturning home when they werestopped in their tracks by thesight of the three Mussick'i cats,Hayhurst's dog, Mr. Lockey'sdog and in the center of thegroup was a yearling - no onepaying any attention to anyone.Evidently the deer hasn't heardthat it is hunting season.

I think I know why they callthe Autumn Fall - the rain falls.The first dull days and rain al-ways seems rather dismal butwe still have Indian Summer tolook forward to and October canbe sunny and bright, so don'tgive up, - better days are ahead

It is with dismay and sadnessthat we face the disaster whichhas struck at the Reeves familyagain, and our hearts ache forthe loss of a son and brother whomeant so much to the alreadybereaved family who lost a hus-band and father only a shortwhile ago. All one can do issend our thoughts and prayers toRosemary and her children andgive them our warm friendshipand love to help them over thisvery rough period in their lives.At times like this, I think olthe poem Ueyond, by I v . W . W i l -cox, and find the words, "Onemore to welcome me, when Ishall cross that intervening spaceBetween this land and that one"over there"; One more to makethe strange Beyond seem fair.And so for me there is no stingto death, And so the grave haslost its victory. It is but cross-ing - with bated breath, Andwhite, set face - a little strip ofsea. To find the loved oneswaiting on the shore, More Beau-tiful, more precious than before'.'

The Harvest festival serviceat St. Mary's Church will beheld on Sunday, Sept. 28 whenthe children's choir will attend.Decorating of the church withvegetables, fruit and flowers,will be done on Saturday before.

Big fork lift was brought fromVancouver by Mouat's BuildingSupplies this week. Machinewill be used around the comp-any's yard for the easy handlingof heavy loads.

A century "ago, the Island wasinhabitated by hostile Indianswho called it "Klaathem" intheir language meaning - Salt -because of several salt springs,still to be found — The nametranslated into English stillclings.

In 1858 Sir James Douglas, thefirst governor of B.C. allowedsix hundred colored people tojoin the Crown colony of Van-couver Island. A number ofthem acquired land on SaltSpring and became its first sett-lers.

Gradually, white settlers be-gan arriving and these developedfarms from the virgin wildernessand planted orchards and berries.

In the early days, Salt Springfarms supplied applies, berriesand vegetables to the markets ofVictoria and Vancouver, but asin other business enterprises,progress here both advanced andretarded. The development bythe railroads of refrigerator carskilled the fruit and vegetable

trade of Salt Spring and the in-habitants were forced to developother resources. So successfulwere their efforts that a closeknit fraternity of self-sufficiencydeveloped and with the arrivalof radio and television, thiscommunity became a very livepart of the outer world.

And, so there are few, if anyof the three thousand inhabitantswho would willingly abandon thetranquility of Salt Spring Islandfor the more rapid pace of themainland. Can we blame them?

BOY SCOUTS CAMP AT GALIANO

BY MARY BACKLUND

More than 500 Boy Scouts andtheir 100 Leaders, making 600in all, came to Galiano for twodays on their annual Internation-al Camporee.

The dull weather failed todampen their spirits as theythoroughly enjoyed the weekendand there was not one casualtyin the whole lot. The first-aid

]mp was out of work.'On Friday night, at 7:40, a

vast array of cars and trucks wasassembled at the top of SturdiesBay wharf to transport the groupto Montague Park. Donald A.New was in charge of this hugeoperation, and due to his untir-ing efforts, there were morethan enough cars and trucks forthem.

When the "big Queen" hoveinto sight, you could hear a bigcheer, from the enthusiasticcampers. They streamed off inwhat seemed to be an unendingline, then about 15 of their owncars and one big truck came off,They were here!

Paul Odermatt, RegionalField executive of the EraserValley Region, had come overthe night Before, and directedthe laughing and yelling groupto their various campsites. Itwas really dark, and rainingjust a little, but this didn'tseem to faze them; they wereputting up their tents in jigtime.

The next day the openingceremonies began at 1:30. Theboys fitted admirably into theMontague Harbour campsite andwere all so orderly, and well-behaved, that there did notseem to be nearly as many aswe thought, and there was nocrowding at all.

Opening ceremonies weremost impressive, with a fair

group of officials as well as anumber of honored guests.

Ed Caney, Camp Chief.iniro-duced Roy Evans, of Oak Harborwho was named assistant campchief. Donald New, was namechonorary chief; Tom Carolan,president of Galiano Club helpedwith preliminary planning.

Mr. New welcomed the groupon behalf of the Islanders, andtold them that he had been as-sociated with Scouts for manyyears, beginning in 1911, underLord Robert Baden-Powell. Hewas a member of the First B.C.Sea Scouts, before World War 1,he recalled and can look backon a vast experience in scout-ing.

During the afternoon, someof the boys went through an ob-stacle course, and others under-took a mountain climb. Presi-dent of Royal City Skindivers,Brookes Gowanlock, with twoof his members, took the boysto the small float, and gavethem a demonstration on diving

Later in the afternoon, aHawaiian from Hawaii presidedover a Luau. He was Bill Ban-tilan, from Oak Harbour, Wash-ington. Bill is an electronics

technician for the U.S.Navy.He worked right along with hisfather in Hawaii, before comingto the States twelve years ago.

The huge pig, now dressedfor the cooking, was hoisted onto a table, and Bill went towork, cutting deep cuts all overthe hide, about a foot apart.These he threw water on, thenrubbed in a misture of salt andhis other spices. It was thenhoisted on to a wire netting, andseveral steaming special lavarocks, brought by him from theStates, were carefully put inkey places.

These were steaming hot, be-ing from the fire that had beenstarted over the pit some hours

SATURNABY PAPAJOHN

The news this week is reallyon the homey side. One of mylady friends next door, Sandra,Sambo or Sam as we affection-ally call her had a front toothwhich has been loose for a fewweeks. Granmarie gave her acookie the other night and loand behold the tooth came outmuch to everyone's relief. Thusended another of life's weedramas. I guess that all of uswish that all the news waskeyed to the same tempo.

Before we go any further Imust state that adjectives forour fair ladies are going to bedropped pro tem and as soon asmy suit of armor arrives am go-ing to start on ye males. This;s going to mean that I will 'ive to have my glasses on atall times and a piece of 2 by 4handy.

The sad news this week ishappy. Ann Sinclair had herbaby girl and George Morgangot home from Lady Minto fullof praise for Lady Minto.(Wemean the hospital) George,like many of us other se'nior(?)citizens who have been in otherhospitals, large and small, BE-LIEVE that the staff and admin-istration (take a bow Harold)are superb.

Buffy, Doreen Cowan's dog,

before. Working quickly,rockswere inserted, and a greatsteaming went on, from thesearing hot rocks in the flesh,until we could hardly see himrushing around.

Now, upon the rest of the hotrocks, they piled masses of cornstocks, lettuce and cabbageleaves, then, the pig, morestocks, leaves, and then greatpieces of tinfoil, then sackingdripping with cold water, thencovered the whole thing withearth, until not a bit of steamcame out.

Also beside the pig, went thebig baskets of corn, potatoes,and salmon, which had beenprepared beforehand by the kit-chen staff.

Now to wait for four hours be-fore the uncovering.

By this time the rain hadstopped, and the night was abit cool but not uncomfortable.

About 11:30, the pit was un-covered, and we were treated"to our first Luau, a most delici-ous meal. More than 100 hadassembled, including Islandersand the campchiefs and leaders.All of the Scouts were by thenasleep, and came the end of amost interesting day.

Next morning, we saw someof the sites, and met many ofthe youngsters.

One camp is really worthmentioning, it was in a teepee,with gay colors all over it.Madeof white muslin, and the prideof the Sixth Coquitlam Scouts,it looked quite at home at thiscampsite.

Another was colorfully madeof two huge parachutes, all or-ange and white. Sunday sawthe usual International Scoutservice, and also Mass,by theseaside, by Rev. Father KevinWiseman, from Sidney, whocame over just for this occasion,

The campsites were then be-ginning to come down, and bythe closing services were prettywell organized. Most impress-ive sight was the 600 in a semi-circle, one minute giving athunderous cheer, next over-whelming silence, for those lessfortunate than they.

Again, the people of Galianoturned out to transport them toSturdies Bay, where another"big Queen" made a special stopfor them. They cheered asthey came, and cheered as theywent home.. It was a weekendto remember.

Mrs. Ruth Volquardsen studied"Psychology of Behavior and Ad-justment" at U. B.C. She re-

Mrs. Florence Hepburn stud-ied "New Concepts and Tech-niques of Teaching Accounting."This course was given by Dr.H.J. Kaluza of the College ofOntario.

Juvenile SoccerAll three of the local Legion

juvenile teams saw action fastweek end with the following re-sults:

SALT SPRING LEGION 1, v.DUNCAN UNITED 9.

In a Division 4 game playedin Duncan on Saturday the localboys ran up against an experi-enced Duncan team which tookfull advantage of a weak SaltSpring defense and an inexperi-enced goal keeper.

The local boys after missing apenalty scored their only goalthrough another penalty whenMike Roberts was successful fromthe spot.

SALT SPRING LEGION 1, v.TZOUIIALEM 1.

In a keenly contested DivisionC game played on the schoolground on Sunday the local boystied a game that they couldeasily have won. After a shak-ey start the Salt Spring boyssettled down gaining confidencefrom a fine performance in goalby Carl Willis who brought offseveral fine saves during the op-ening minutes of the game.

Tzouhalem scored first fromthe penalty spot and led at half-time. In the second half, how-ever, Salt Spring held territorialadvantage and Roger Kitchenscored, finishing off some goodapproach work by the forwards.

SALT SPRING LEGION 0, v.DUNCAN 4.

The local 8/9 year olds hadtheir first taste of soccer in aDivision 8 game in Duncan onSunday, and although they lostto a strong experienced teamthe local boys showed greatspirit and enthusiasm. In theSalt Spring team Albert Kaye inijoal played excellently by mak-ing many fine saves in the faceof strong opposing forward play.

Games scheduled for nextweek are: Division 6 in Pion-eer Park, .Duncan, 2 o'clock,Saturday; Divisiori 4 at Element'ary School, 2 o'clock, Sunday;and Division 8 in Pioneer Park,Duncan, 11:00 a.m. Saturday.
