BRITISH COLUMBIA'S ENCHANTING GULF ISLANDS-GALIANO,MAYNE,the FENDERS,SALT SPRING & SATURNAu>CO

Thursday, June 2nd, 1966 Vol . 7 No. 12 T 0 $ per copy

DRIFTWOOD GOESGULF ISLANDER

Driftwood, with this week's issue, changes its long-term emphasis to encompass the Gulf Islands, rather thanSaltspring only.

We have completed negotiations to purchase the"Gulf Islander," edited and printed on Galiano by MissJean Lockwood,and tomerge this lively little newspaperwith Driftwood, the.better to serve, and help to develop,in an orderly way, this area that we have come to knowa little and are proud to call home.

Jean Lockwood, editor of the Gulf Islander, is tocontinue her writing in the new issue with a weekly col-umn in her own inimitable style.

We hope thereby TO pro-vide the Gulf Islands witha common voice, inter andintra island, s^M+rat personsliving here can see andplan the future of this rich-ly endowed area as onecommunity.

There are differencesand each of these islandshas its own cu>.,etsand nodoubt will develop effect-ively as time goes on.Eachisland has its own particu-lar personality and no onewould suggest these bemerged and their individu-al charm forsaken.

One thing we do hopeto change is the impressionwe have gained that one is-land is an entity unto itselfdevoted exclusively to re-sist any suggestion of changein any form. Indeed wehave this kind of problemeven within these islands.

*our unshaken faith that

s kinds of conflicts anddifferences which at times

divide us are mostly bornof•an earlier time, and havelittle reference to today'sproblems. These problemsmust be talked out amona

us. We don't have to agreebut the fact that we are ableto talk with each other is astep in the right direction.We are sure this will for-shadow greater understandingof the other point of viewand lead to greater longterm unity.

The first step in devel-oping a unity of purpose isthe simple process of get-ting to know one anotherand our several ways of life.This we hope to hejp alongby the columns of this news-paper.

One thing is for sure,and Driftwood has said thisa number of times previous-ly, and that is he who isagainst change of any kindis waging a completely fu-tile and losing battle. Foras sure as the sun will risetomorrow, change is here.If we don't soon get a little

more mature approach toour common concerns aboutwhat we call orderly dev-elopment, we will havemany ill-ad»ised and cost-ly errors to regret and ev-entually try to correct inthe future.

This eventuality willprove to be expensive in amyriad of ways.

Driftwood's sincerepurpose then, as we enteranother phase in our des-tiny as this community'snewspaper, will be to sup-port those things which inour opinion will add up tosensible orderly progressin ways in which we canpreserve as much as possi-ble the distinctive charmand beauty of these islands.

The new issue of Drift-wood covering the Gulf Is-lands will be mailed free toall residents of the outerislands, the area formerlyserved by "The Gulf Island-

1966

er," for four issues. Afterthat, readers in these areaswill be asked to subscribeas do our other mnders.Our membership in the Can-adian Weekly NewspaperAssociation does not allowus to give away papers.Be-sides, we believe if anypaper is worth having at a! Iit is worth a nominal sub-scription price.

Advertising rates willremain the same.

Miss Frances Saville, whosepicture was not availablewill write for the FenderIslands. We hope to geta picture later.

WHAT PRICE EDUCATION?or . . . . R a n d o m T h o u g h t s on t heDebut of the New High Schoo l .

We were thinking about how fortunate we are tohave such a modern up-to-the-minute school design em-bodying both beauty of building and natural surroundingsinstalled and duly opened last week. One can hope thatthe building will inspire both teachers and pupils alike tomutual creativity, confidence, and respect.

One can only hope that inside the beauty and plushquality of the school's equipment and appointments,some-thing in the way of exciting and inspiring leadership andlearning will happen. Certainly if it cannot happen here,it cannot happen.

Speaking of the opening of the new school, we hadour snoopy reporter nosing around getting opinions of thegeneral public, those, that is, that are called upon tobear the cost of paying for the new facility. Here aresome of the comments:

Unanimous op'nion that the building and setting ri-vals anything in or outside the province for beauty. Per-sons wondered how come they rated such a lovely schoolin these islands..

Planners of the opening itself should have taken se-veral second looks at this particular design since it leftmuch to be desired. Specifically, the major criticism wasthe learned, ivory-tower,OUT OF PLACE, long-windedspeeches by two visiting dignitaries. One from the Stateof Washington(???) who read a 20 minute dissertationwhile babies cried and people, including the LieutenantGovernor,fanned themselves either from the heat or boredom or both.

Speeches of His Honour the Lieut. Governor andMr. J. M. Campbell former Chairman of the Board were"succinct and to the point."

After all, the public were invited to come and in-spect the new school and witness some sort of ribbon-cutting ceremony, not to be lectured at.... "completelyout of place for the occasion."

Why was there little or no participation in the Op-ening by either teachers or students for whom the schoolis planned and operated? The Principal, Mr. J. Evans,was not seen or heard from the platform. It would havebeen appropos to hear some word about the future plansand activities that the new school would now allow,

"I looked in the Principal's Office and thoughtI was in the office of the Premier. I was astonished to seeno vestige of books or even a book case,just a big wrap-around desk and a coloured(???) telephone."

The display of Industrial Arts was fabulous. A setof water skis, a fibre-glass boat and above all, a beau-tiful living room set of modern furniture that could riv-al anything you would buy i-n the best specialty shops.Congratulations to the artisans.

Miss Bea Hamilton, who haswritten for Driftwood eversince its inception morethan six years ago (gee, isit that long?).Miss Hamil-ton looks after the doings, atFulford and Beaver Point.

SPINDRIFTTrue Islanders know that "Spindrift" is the name giv-

en to the misty spray that flies from the cresting waveswhen the winds blow hard and the seas run high.

It is also a familiar word to those who know and lovethe works of John Masefield, England's sailor poet. Re-member: "I must go down to the seas again, To the lone-ly sea and the sky . . . " we had to memorize that ingrade five.

Because it strikes a deep responsive chord in thehearts of all whodwell by the sea, we accept Masefieldas one of us - and it was he who told the world aboutsprindrift. >

FOUND AT NORTHGALIANO

While working on theright-of-way for the newpower line to North Gali-ano (th island's biggestcommunity project at thepresent time), Harry Bainesfound interesting evidenceof the existence of an oldtelephone line linking Por-lier Pass with the south endof Galiano. While sawinga large log into portablelengths he found an oakbracket embedded in thefir wood, completely sur-rounded by subsequentgrowth of the parent tree.

The bracket had beenused to hold an insulatorfor the old governmenttelephone line, and fromthe growth circles of thewood is estimated that itwas nailed to the tree some37 years ago. So complet-ely had the tree grownaround the bracket thatonly a small pitch blisteron the exterior bark indi-cated there Wa s anythingsealed inside.
