School District have droppedabout three mills this year.

Mill rate is down by 3.2.Last year the rate was 30.45;this year it has been set at27.25. Average throughout theprovince is 31.72.

Assessments in the districthave risen to $20,699,768,bringing the level down when alevy is needed. Budget amountsto $621,997.

The Gulf Islands remain oneof the highest taxed school dis-tricts in British Columbia, withonly 6.6% being met by theprovince. Ratepayers of the dis-trict are taxed to meet theremaining 93.4%.

Government grant has slowlybeen reduced during past years.Trustees of the district havebitterly cited the decreasingprovincial help as the substanceof government economies. In1960 government grant repres-ented 52.4% of the costs. It hassteadily fallen since that time.Highest assistance offered dur-ing the past nine years was lessthan one-tenth of the budget.

Number of children attending

islands schools has increasedfrom 484 in 1960 to 690 in1969.

AT GALfANO

DANGERS FIGHT FIREThe Waggon Wheels Square

Dance group from Salt SpringIsland became fire fighterslast week.

They were on the spot andsaved Montague Marine Parkfrom what could have been anasty fire on Sunday afternoon.

Fortunately, some of thatgroup are Galiano Islanders,and knew where to telephoneimmediately they found a fireburning away up in the woods,right out of the designated areafor campfires. Alfonso Sencionoticed the fire first, and Ger-ry Keeping went to the tele-phone to summon the fire en-gine.

Meanwhile, David Weather-ell, who brought some of thegroup over there in his newtroller, "Tralee", rowed out tohis boat and got some buckets,and the square dancers becamefirefighters, caller Bert BarberBaking command of the situa-tion.

By the time the fire engine,followed by about half of theIslanders, some to fight fire,some to look, got there, thesquare dancers had all under

control, and the fire nearly out"No one seemed to know

who was camping away up therenear the entrance to the Park,but it is a pretty stupid placefor anyone to walk even, muchless camp out," reported MaryBackhand, "and to add to all ofthis stupidity, to make a fireunder these huge magnificenttrees, THEN go away and leaveit burning!"

Fire Chief Dave Laughlinand friends gathered up somebelongings, and waited sometime for the people to claimthem, but they were notclaimed by early this week.

It was neither of the groupsof Boy Scouts, or Girl Guideswho were also in the campsitefor the week-end.

HE TRIED AND TRIEDBUT NEVER A SALMON

Peter Bingham is always hav-ing troubles.

Last week he went out forsalmon, like he always does,but he just couldn't hook on toa salmon.

First thing he hooked intowas a cod. Mind you, to anyother fisherman it would havebeen a fish-mine. Weighed 42pounds and the Binghams aredrooling over parsley sauce now

Once he brought that cod intcthe boat he went on happilylooking for the elusive salmon.

Next thing that took his linewas a sea bass. Weighed threepounds.

Cod is good eating, he ag-reed. Sea Bass is a nice fish,he agreed. But the salmon justweren't biting.

A SECOND ROUTEProvincial government has rarely been in a more

generous mood. Galiano Chamber of Commerce waspromised blacktop by Mr. John Tisdalle when he spokeat its annual meeting.

Galiano residents were outspoken when they faced

the mud which followed a winter of greater severitythan in living memory. They will welcome the black-top. The winter of cold brought muddy roads and thespring has brought dust.

It was the people of Mayne who last year com-plained of excessive dust. With the government inexpansive mood, it is difficult to understand howGaliano could bid farewell to such conditions, leav-ing Mayne yet dusty.

On Salt Spring Island a new surfacing has beenpromised for the road from ferry to ferry. The island-ers are duly grateful.

Still unpromised are the goodies for Pender, Northand South, and Saturna. We can't wait.

iIn the meantime, while the government is gazing

at us with warm affection we would suggest that onSalt Spring Island there is no alternative road betweenFulford and Ganges.

The road into Ganges is a bottleneck and provisionshould be made for a parallel access to the community.This will become increasingly significant as time pas-ses.

It would be welcome even if it were not a black-topped highway.

Letters to the EditorTANK PROBLEMSEditor, Driftwood,

For year s I have been prom-ising myself not to write anymore letters to the editor, butthen Dr. Whitbread or someoneelse who should know bettersays something that just has tobe answered. This time it isthe statement that the Brent-wood area is not suitable forseptic tanks.

While in Victoria 1 had theopportunity to look into thealleged septic tank problem inBrentwood. In every case ofcomplaint that I checked thetrouble was faulty installation,not anything peculiar or mys-terious about Brentwood soil.

I found a whole hillside inBrentwood where the buildersof the houses had actually cutacross the drainage system,thus trapping the surface andground water in the area be-hind the houses where the sep-tic tank disposal fields were in-stalled. Naturally these sys-tems failed. It is invitingfailure in a septic tank systemto pipe large quantities of wateiinto it. There were also in-stallations where disposal fields

were not being used, the sep-tic tank effluent being sim-ply piped to the roadside ditch.And there were many examplesof the common installation er-ror of laying the pipes in thedisposal field with a downgrade so that most of the fieldis bypassed by the effluentwhich simply runs down to thelow point in the system where,being under pressure, it bub-bles up through the grass.When the mayor quotes a threeout of five rate of failure heshould also give the reasons.

This high figure surprises meIt doesn't seem reasonable inview of the successful experi-ence with septic tanks in otherplaces. Some public healthauthorities require people to install septic tanks in order toprotect the beaches and water-courses. When properly in-stalled (a very easy and econ-omical procedure) septic tanksare infinitely superior to pipingthe sewage to the sea. Claysubsoil is actually an advant-age because it protects groundwater from contamination. Thehigh failure rate reported in-

EXPLAINS SCOPE

RECREATIONSalt Spring Islanders learned

something of the function andthe scope of the recreationcommission last week.

The Salt Spring Island Rec-reation Commission had as avisitor and speaker at theirlast monthly meeting, GordonPynn, provincial recreationconsultant, Victoria.

The meeting was devotedprimarily to a question andanswer period with Mr. Pynnexplaining the function of aRecreation Commission in arural area such as this one.He was pleased to note that theCommission was assisting insuch activities as the rollerhockey, Softball, little leagebaseball, summer swimminginstruction and many otheractivities for young and oldalike.

In reply to many questionsraised regarding the recreationcomplex presently being stud-ied by the Lions, Mr. Pynnfelt that such facilities shouldbe considered an investmentin the community rather thana commercial venture.

Some people present hadreservations about the opera-tional costs of such a complex

dicates a shocking lack of su-pervision. If two fifths of thehouseholders can make thektanks work the other threefifths should be shown how it'sdone.

The opinion, attributed toMayor Archibald Galbraith,that Brentwood has the worstpollution problem on souther nVancouver Island, is hogwash.He should take a look at theSidney marine outfall just ac-ross the peninsula. This messwas sold to the public compara-tively recently by the healthdepartment, the local council,and the engineers.

Both Dr. Whitbread and themunicipal leaders are wrong onthis sewage issue and they areallowing their obsession withmarine outfalls to get out ofhand. They should considerthe damage they are doing bybranding prime residentialareas as hazardous whenever avote is pending. Portage Inletand View Royal were crucifieda couple of years ago; now it isBrentwood's turn.Lloyd Smith,Palm Cove PO via Cairns,Queensland 4S70, AustraliaMay 2, 1969

and eventual deficits — itwas felt that a committeemember from the Lions shouldbe invited to the next meetingto explain their plans to date.

The Recreation Commissionwill sponsor a float in theforthcoming May Day parade.This suggestion was made byMiss Harkema representinga student recreational group re-cently organized to acquaintthemselves with community ac-tivities. The young people willportray the various activitiesavailable on the Island.

MINISTERSalt Spring Island Chamber

of Commerce finally came toterms with the minister ofhighways last week.

Minister, Wesley Black, metGavin Reynolds, chamber presi-dent, in Victoria last week.

They discussed island roadsand hazards.

Mr. Reynolds emphasizedthat there is no call on SaltSpring Island for high-speedhighways. He pleaded for atten-tion to hazardous features of theroads here and straighteningwhere curves create danger.

The meeting of the two menwas the culmination of a long

He congratulated his sister,Mrs. Robson, on her recent ac-ceptance of chairman ship ofHealth and Welfare in A. C. -C. V.I., and spoke on the ma-ny ways that the larger organ-ization could be of assistanceto Galiano.

Mr. Riddell then introducedJohnD. Tisdalle, M.L.A. forSaanich and the Islands, whohas been an M.L.A. for thepast 17 years.

Mr. Tisdalle then declareda recess, before speaking.

Mr. Tisdalle spoke seriouslyabout the great need to get al-ong with each other, sayingthat the law was made for thelawkeeper, and also the law-breaker, and "if a person doesnot use his freedom to defendhis freedom, then he is notworthy of his freedom."

He said that beginning rightaway, the crews on the roadwill be preparing roads forseveral miles of blacktop, bothat the South and North End ofthe Island.

This was greeted with muchenthusiasm from the wholecrowd.

Mr. Robson thanked Mr,Tisdalle, and then asked Mr.Morris, who was also present,to say a few words to thegathering.

Mr. Morris reminded thegroup that Galiano Island wasthe first in the Gulf Islands tohave blacktopping from ferrydock to ferry dock, and nowis first to ha ve the beginningof several miles of blacktop.

He explained that GalianoIsland now has a huge stock-pile of crushed rock, and allin readiness for this work tobegin.

Mr. Morris said that thepast winter had been the worstfor many years, and the frostwas driven into the ground fortwo feet, something quite un-heard of in this part of thecountry, and consequently, is-landers were all unprepared forit.

The guest speakers werethen all thanked by ArthurPlatt.

quest by the chamber to gainthe ministerial ear.

"If we could get the ministerof recreation to listen, now, wewould have done everything,"commented Mr. Reynolds later.

It was the minister of recrea-tion who declined to meet withthe member for Saanich and theIslands, John Tisdalle or thechamber to discuss park landshere.

June 3 was the date in 1894when the late Bishop Perrinand the Rev. E. F. Wilson op-ened St. Mary's Church. Horsesand buggies or wagons, werelined up along the fences bythe Church. There was nochurch bell — no bell towereven, but it was a Church fora* that — and since that day,there has been a lot of Christ-ening, marrying, blessing,confirming, and burying peoplewho came and went, andthere's like to be a lot more asthe years roll on — so docome and help us celebrate —this is quite a date for theChurch people.

The Claude Conerys cameto South Fender in 1930, and i1was Claude who helped choosea site for the church, in 1937.Gerlad Parkyn drew up theplans; with Jack Bridge, helpecput up the building, andwas organist.

The opening service wasgiven by the Rev. Robert D.Porter of Mayne Island, onMay 1, 1938.

The first wedding was onSeptember 24th, 1938, betweerBetty, daughter of Mrs. F.X.Hodgson, who ran the Bedwellstore, and Cyril Andrews.

The second, was on Decem-ber 8, 1943, between Kathleen,daughter of Grace and HerbertTeece, of the Valley Farm,and William Laird; and the lastwas May 3rd, 1947, at 2 pmwhen Dr. Harold J. King,married Loretta Bower and JohnHerbert Teece.

"And out of 27 grandchil-dren," says Mr. Teece, "onlyJohn has provided anotherTeece — Wayne!"

Now the Rev. John Danger-field had come from Saturna'sSt. Christopher Church, withhis wife Elsie, in LorraineCampbell's launch, to performthe fourth marriage.

YOUNGSTERS TODELVE IN

A Delve-In, under the lead-ership of Miss Norma Douglas isto be held at the Hall, PortWashington, June 7-8.

This is being sponsored bythe Historical Association.

The children are spendingmuch time and energy on col-lections of rocks, shells, etc.,and drawings of ships whichsailed around the Islands inpast years.

A short pageant will also beperformed. Everyone is invitedto attend; admission will be250 for adults; children free.

The church was decoratedby Syb Conery, Jennifer AxtensHope Irving Jennens and MaryCrane Roddick, with prizeTeece tulips, Herb Spalding'sprecious dogwood, Hope's ja-ponica, and gifts from othergardens.

As the bride entered thechurch, Mrs. Ruby Hatcherplayed " Praise my soul, theKing of heaven"; during thesigning of the register, "Lordofall hopefulness, Lord of alljoy"; and "All things bright ancbeautiful" as the Willsons,Leah and Claude Conery, Jen-nifer Axtens and Vernon Rod-dick, stepped out into the sun-shine.

Bedwell Harbour Lodgeglowed with Japanese plumblossoms and boughs of applebuds, while 130 guests glowedwith goodwill and champagne.

Gerry Parkyn toasted thebride. Mr. Roddick read a fewof the dozens of wires that flut-tered in from Lucerne, London,Lima, and all parts of theworld. From Henry and KayFletcher, Toronto head ofOxfam; Jim, June and LahraPearson, Vancouver; and otherOxfamous Oxfamilies.

Eastern guests were ground-ed by the Air Canada strike.Dr. Theo Binder of Pucallpa,Peru, founder of the AlbertSchweitzer hospital in the Am-azon River basin, had to reversehis journey and go to Torontoto step out in the Miles forMillions Walk.

Meanwhile, back on thefarm, Herbert Spalding, whowas to be best man, spent thefestivities at Little Bay, mowndown by flu.j

Helen, Stan and KathieLettner watched over the guests,who enjoyed clam chowder(with Spalding clams); salmon,(Kathie had barbecued 4 12-16

Ib. springs); and other goodies;and visitors overflowed ontothe sunny verandahs for long-time-no-see reunions, after20 and 30 years.

Helping with tea and coffee,were Win Spalding, Mrs. RubyHatcher, Miss Hilda Howe andMona Martyn Noble.

During the afternoon, thechildren swam in the Lodgepool.

The Willsons are staying atLittle Splash, Syb's cottage onPlumper Sound, looking acrossat Prairie Hill on Saturna anddown to Washington, and Mt.Baker, who watches over allGulf Islanders. And when theymove to their house on theshores of Puget Sound, he'llstill be there to bless them.

MISSING FISHING

Dr. E.L. Cox, of Vesuvius,is a patient in Lady Minto Hos-pital.

It couldn't have happened ata worse time.

Dr. Cox is just about 100%fisherman. When the seas onapproached he started to cleanup his boat as any other fisher-man might do.

While he was painting theboat slipped and injured bothhis legs.

It isn't the pain that worriesthe good fisherman: it's the daysand days of good fishing he ismissing.

Although the refurbishing hasbeen largely confined to thelounge area its effect on theship is impressive.

The passenger enters the up-per decks from the car deck.The stairway is narrowerbecause it is now insulated.Stair treads are rubber and af-ford a good grip without hostilecorners.

There is a mile or so of heavjcarpet throughout the passengerdecks. The green floor cover-ing bears a patented dogwooddesign. Chairs and tabes are allnew and modern in design.

Biggest change evident tothe passenger is the sparklingkitchen. It is only monthssince the island travellers weremoving heaven and earth tourge the ferry authority to offera more pleasing breakfast in-in place of the day-long ham-burger. Now they have twochoices.

Dining room serves hambur-gers and oacon and eggs andother similar meals. The pas-senger who is prepared to settlefor coffee and pie goes to thecoffee bar, where coffee aswell as soft drinks are offeredona self-serve system.

There are other improve-ments. The funnel has beenmoved and redesigned to avoidthe return of smoke and fumeson to the passenger deck. Newgenerator is of little signifi-cance to passenger unless thepower fails.

Island travellers are delight-ed with their refurbished ship.
