LITTLE LEAGUECOMING TOSALT SPRING

Little League is coming toGanges.On Thursday evening a format-ive meeting will be held in theGanges school grounds at 7 pm.

It is hoped to field a teameach from Fulford, Ganges andCentral North end. Sponsorshope to bring a Little Leagueto the community over the nextseveral years.

EDUCATIONThere is a lack of academic

courses in the Gulf Islands adulteducation program. And thereis unlikely to be sufficient res-ponse to support one.

On Thursday evening lastweek the path was laid for areturn to school of adults whohave dropped out of school andsubsequently seek to completetheir secondary school educat-ion. Regular classrooms wouldbe opened to adults.

When J.M. Campbell spokeof the proposal, he was askedwhether there was any provisionin the act to permit of attendanceof adults at classes. There is

[COLD HOLIDAY

such a provision, he was told.The situation in Gulf Islands

Secondary School is differentfrom many areas, explainedMr. Campbell. He had consid-ered the question with PrincipalDonald Hartwig, he stated.

The islands offer no opport-unity for adults to return toschool, in view of the distancefrom adult education centres.

Students around the age of23 were cited as an example.It will provide for the studentseeking to continue his studieson the island.

MAC MOUAT

BLANDER IN CHURCHILL T1V NORTHJlOnce is enough.W.M. Mouat, Dean of Islanc

merchants, has returned homefrom the frozen north. He spenta week or so in Churchill, Man-itoba, with his son Ian and hisfamily.

Mr. Mouat thoroughly en-joyed his holiday but he prefersSalt Spring Island. He has seenthe north and he doesn't expectto go back there again.

The wind blew steadily andthe mercury hovered between 5deg. and 25 deg. above zero. Amorning walk was restricted toten minutes. After that his faceached from the wind chill, re-ported the traveller.

Delighted to see his family,Mr. Mouat was also keenly int-

erested in the northern city andits artificial economy.

A grain shipment port androcket site, it is an administrat-ion centre. And that's it!

The port is open for some 80days a year and the federal gov-ernment has undertaken to equipthe ice breaker there with amodified mechanism to thrustthe broken ice beneath the sur-face and trap it. By this methodit is hoped to add 10 days to theport's effectiveness. Churchillis the nearest Canadian port toEurope.

There is no local industry.There is little local development.

IN LEAD>

WITH FISH

Mac Mouat has taken the lead inthe Salt Spring Island Rod andGun Club Salmon Derby. On Sun-day evening he took a fat salmonwhich turned the scale at 20 Ibs.8 oz.

Fred Morris had previouslyheld the lead since last Novem-ber 29 with a 11 Ib. spring. Hewas edged out twice in a week.

Lead nad been taken last weekfor a brief period by Nels Degnen.The two were in the same boatwhen Mr. Degnen brought in aspring at 15 Ibs. 4 oz.

Every ardent fisherman is in-vited to ascertain that his mem-bership is up to date and then toget put after the big salmon.

HOSPITALBIGGEST INCREASE IN 54 YEARS HERE

HISTORYReport of Lady MintoGulf Islands Hospital presented

last week by Douglas Cavaye was the 54th annual rep-ort, he told the hospital meetings. The increase in ac-tivity was the highest ever shown in any annual report.

In patients number 663 iu19C7, up by 43%: patient daysstood at 5,764, or an increaseof 62%. The hospital treated1,543 out-patients, up 56% andthe total patients in and out was2,206, a 54% increase. The tot-al of 27 births was up by 60%.And this in a community of pre-dominantly over 65, commentedthe chairman. Laboratory unitsundertaken amounted to 12,499,or 42% Biggest jump of all was inX-ray pictures, with 3.605 anHan increase of 92% . The hos-pital had budgeted for 4,200patient days, noted Administrator(Harold Hoffman and experienced5,764.

The chairman noted thatthere were now grab rails in thebathrooms and recalled that the

HOSPITAL

MILL RATESET AT O.T3

Gulf Islands Hospital Improve-ment District will continue to op-erate although the function ofraising funds for hospital purposeshas been assumed by the CapitalRegion District.

At Friday evening's annual hos-pital meeting in Ganges, ratepayers were told that the localimprovement district would con-tinue in accordance with a directive from the Comtroller of WaterRights.

Hospital levy this year willamount to 0.13 mills, said Chairman Douglas Cavaye.

The local district will continueuntil the letters patent have beenissued to provide for the collect-ion of taxes here by the regionaldistrict, he added.

CLASSROOMS

TENDERSCALLEDTenders have been called for

the construction of five newclassrooms at Gulf Islands Sec-ondary School at Ganges.

Classrooms were approved inthe school building referendaaccepted by the ratepayers lastDecember.

Plans and specifications havebeen prepared by Siddall andDennis, Victoria architects, andwill be open for bids until 3 pmon May 30.

Buildings will be of woodframe and stucco. Specificationsmay be seen at the architect'soffice in Victoria, 610 RoyalTrust Building.

Contractors may present theirbids directly to the school boardoffice by 3 pm on the deadlinedate, or the office of the arch-itect by noon on May 30.

editor ot DRIFTWOOD had comniented on their lack when he wasa patient. There is now a hand-rail in the corridor for those whohave difficulty walking. Thename of the hospital has beenplaced on the building for thebenefit of visitors who could notpreviously identify it.

Lighting in both operatingrooms has been updated and asmany more minor operations arebeing undertaken here, manyinstruments have been improved.

The hospital now has its ownlaundry service and the kitchenis equipped with a hot food tablea blender, a hot water urn andan ice machine.

Mr. Cavaye spoke warmly ofthe Lions Club ambulance ser-vice.

"The local ambulance is avaluable asset to the people onSalt Spring Island," lie stated,"and while the board has no dir-ect connection with this servicewe recognize it fully and app-reciate very much the terrificwork these fellows do at anytime of day or night."

The new visiting hours werementioned in passing. The ex-tension of the visiting periodto 2 pm until 8 pm is for atrial period of six months, lieremarked.

The plan has been well re-ceived on the islands, he added.

No other hospital canclaimthat its beds are all modernand listed as such in the AguewHospital report, said Mr. Cav-aye.

The 24 beds set up when thesurvey was made were listedas modern and well-equipped,observed the chairman.The bed does not refer to thepiece of furniture, lie noted. Itmeans the space allotted to thebed, running water and toiletfacilities in the room, andother factors concerning theservice available to the patient.

The report calls for the prov-ision of 20 extended care bedsby 1970, bringing the localhospital to a total of 50 beds.

This could only be done foll-owing a referendum presentedto all of the Capital Region andapproved by a 00% majority.

AGREEMENT ISREACHED ATSEVEN PER CENT

Agreement lias been reachedbetween non-teaching employeesof the Gulf Islands School Districtand the district.

There will be a seven per centincrease across the board with afurther $160 to be allotted wherethe union feels that the need isgreatest.

The distribution of this awardis intended to " mitigate inequal-ities cited by the union" A . M . 'Sharp told his fellow trustees lastThursday evening.

they hadn't seen for some time.It was a grand day for the two

popular old timers who hadreached the ages of 71 and 72and their " fifty years married"with flying colors.

What they liked best aboutthe day was seeing and meetingtheir many friends and relatives.Spring flowers were everywhere;dozens of cards were placed ontables and special gifts fromclose relations and friends.

It was a gala occasion withthe tables articstically decorat-ed and highlighted by a beaut-iful wedding cake, made byMrs. Stevens and decorated sup-erbly by Mrs. Ted Gear.

Frank was born in Great Aytoi"Canny Yatton, they called it irslang" he said.

He grew up and finally workedas one of the deputies in themines in Yorkshire. His job wasto see to the safety of the men -"We had to enter the mines andsee that all was clear," he said.

During the First World War,when the men were enlisting,Frank was held back with sevenothers as the mine officials saidthey had to keep eight men tohandle the mining for war supp-lies.

This was in the North ridingof Yorkshire, England.

Mrs. Stevens was in volun-tary nursing from 1915 to 1918and served in the Ayton Fir'sHospital, (a convalescent hos-pital) but she had worked inmunitions first.

It was fifty years ago thatFrank married Gertrude in St.Jolin's Church at Darlington.They knew the noisy days andnights of air raids, bombingsand all the sounds of war. In

DODGING THE ISSUE

Reactions to last week's public hearing enquiring

to the discharge of sewage into the sea were quite var*

ied. Majority probably assumed that the project will

c,o through and that the hearing had little influence

on the matter. Others were confident that the director

of polluHo:; control would be impressed with the unani*

irnity expressed and would act accordingly.

Perhaps none paused to consider the meaning of the

routine.The hearing was called in response to opinion exp-

ressed by loool residents. All opinions followed onemain pattern, the writers were bitterly opposed to any

proposal to discharge sewage into the sea.The pattern of controlling pollution in this province

is to require the applicant to decide, himself, what is

desirable or permissible. The government then asks arepresentative group of residents whether they like pot

Ilulion of the waters.Fhe decision is reached by the director of pollution

control. He has resources at his disposal to find anyrelevant technical information. His decision is based,one sssumes, on a combination of scientific knowledge,shrewd assessment and public opinion. If puolic opini<»

is not intended to sway the decision, why is trie act

set up in this manner?The government was elected to govern the province

and in the realm of pollution control it is a very inad*equore job. The government is dodging the issue byreferring it back to the uninformed. Few of us in this

province have scientific knowledge of the problems ofpollution. The government has offered neither help

nor guidelines.Let us have a clearly defined plan and pattern. Let ut

see the time when it is laid down clearly what must

be done to effluent before it may be discharged any

where. And let us see the government approach this

grave problem in an adult manner. Or is it the gov-

ernment's policy to wait until there is none left alive

to protest ?

A FINE FAMILYEditor,

Driftwood.While the subject of pollution

was well covered by knowledge-able speakers at our recentmeeting, there are points whichI for one, failed to mention.

Firstly, allow me to say forthe benefit of recent residentsof Salt Spring that the Byron fainily are known to be good kindneighbours........ I should also like to correcta slip of the tongue in my oralbrier, that we dispose of "gar-bage" in the sea. The onlythings so dealt with, are flatt-ened cans, which are carefullysunk in about ten fathoms ofwater. Even so they, or sim-ilar ones, plus uncapped bottlesand even quite heavy objects

Flower Show At FulfordB Y BEA HAMILTON

You have got to hand it to theSalt Spring Island Garden Clubfor putting on a delightful SpringFlower Show despite the scarcityof flowers. Most flowers wereover, others not in bloom butyet there was a lovely display bythe time everyone had found aflower here, a bud there andbrought them all together withsprays and driftwood and artisticarrangements until the FulfordHall glowed with colour and perfume of many tulips, pansies,primroses, iris and many othervarieties.

ART SHOW TOFEATURED

AT SECONDARYSCHOOL MAY 25,More than 70 local artists

will take part in the Arts andCrafts Fair to be held in GulfIslands Secondary School inGanges, Saturday, May 25 from1:30 to 5 pm.

Considerable interest has beenshown in this cultural event arr-anged by H. M.S. Ganges chap-ter IODE.

Co-conveners for the affairare Mrs. O.L. Stanton and Mrs.R. Gordon Crosby. Both ladiesare trained artists and well qual-ified to meet the critical stand-ards required to stage an eventof this importance. Mrs. Stan-ton was graduated in fine artsfrom Mount Alison University,New Brunswick, and served forsome time as occupational ther-apist in New York. She is incharge of the crafts section ofthe fair. Mrs. Crosby studiedart in Paris and at the BanffSchool of Fine Art, also brieflyin Mexico. She has been theorganizer and guiding light ofSalt Spring Island school of art,soon to hold its third session.Mrs. Crosby is responsible forassembling approximately 60painting to be shown at the Fair.

Several of the exhibiting art-ists will give a demonstration oftheir skills during the afternoon.Of special interest to childrenwill be a puppet show to bestaged by Mrs. Margaret Simons.Methods of hooking and braidingrugs will be demonstrated by MrsRay Ashford, Mrs. H.C. Gieg-erich, Mrs. E.E. Groff and Mrs.Stanton. Tom Volquardson andGerry Clayton will show the artof wood carving. Mr. Claytonand Mrs. Carol Southward willdemonstrate the potter's art.Mrs. Olive Clayton will shareher knowledge of block printing;Mrs. Gordon Ruckle and MissGwen Ruckle will spin and knitwool from the sheep raised ontheir farm. The ages-old art ofweaving will be performed byMrs. George Wells and Mrs.Stanton. Alfred Temmel, whosescenic murals adorn local est-ablishments, will display hispainting technique.

Patrons of the Fair who maywish to visit with friends over acup of tea, will have the opp-ortunity to do so. Afternoon teaa well-ingrained habit on Salt

g will be served by IODEdles. There will be a modest

charge for entrance to the Fairand donations will be receivedfor tea. Proceeds from the eventwill be used for IODE educationalwork.

All in all, this promises tobe an outstanding cultural occ-asion for Salt Spring Island, tobe enjoyed by residents, visit-ors, and exhibitors alike. Itwill provide an opportunity forlocal artists to show their workto the public, and Salt SpringIslanders will doubtless be sur-prised to learn how extensive isthe Island's substantial andgrowing colony of artists. Theexistence of this colony maywell become a drawing powerin the Island's future.

Only a few knew how one ortwo people rushed home to theirgardens to scout around for moreflowers to make a better display.All that helped tremendously tofill empty spaces.

Artistic arrangements wereadmired in the decorative sectionwhere almost anything came intoits own to help out well thoughtup arrangements. Original ideasin anything goes and in the child-ren's sections were outstanding.

Collection of native evergreenswere excellent.The seaweed was fascinating andshowed much thought in gettingdifferent varieties.. .flowers,pebbles and shells formed lovelyarrangements.. .and the map ofSalt Spring Island in flat moss wasexcellently done. .The children'scorner was most interesting.

The paintings displayed byartists from Duncan, Crofton andGaliano Art Groups, and from thisIsland, were admired all after-noon.

Mrs. R. G. Crosby was in chargeof all this and our own localartists assisted her with the helpof visiting artists, This was anattraction that added greatly tothe success of the Show.A hearty vote of thanks go to allthese artists and to the convenerMrs. Crosby for giving so muchpleasure to the afternoon. Alsoto the people who convened suchnecessary and nourishing after-noon teas, in the charge of Mrs.S. K. Claibourne and her assist-ants.

Fairly early in the afternoon,the show was opened by Mrs. A.Davis, who was introduced by thepresident of the Club, CaptainLuth.

Mrs. Davis gave an interestingrun down of the start of the Cluband its present functions. She isone of their first members and aconstant exhibitor. She thankedall who had helped to make theSpring Show a success.

Mrs. A.M. Brown was incharge of the most delightful dis-

WEDDING(From Page Two?

March of 1926, the Stevens leftEngland and came to Canada,and then crossed to Salt SpringIsland.

The change from all the noiseof the big City to the quiet ofthe Island woods was so greatthat it appalled them at first.

"It was so silent at night, wewere scared to go outside in thedark, " said Mrs. Stevens. Ittook all the first winter on theIsland to get them accustomedto the silence. "But the firsttime I set foot on Salt Spring, Iwas at home," says Mrs. Stevens

She loves cows. She lovedmilking. "I could milk all dayif the cows would only keep upthe supply of milk!" she says.

George Heinekey gavetoast to the couple and spokethe many activities during theyears - " Frank even helped tomove the old Central buildingdown to Ganges, where it was.used by the United Church andfinally, it is a part of this Leg-ion Hall where the reception isbeing held today, he pointed out"It was hard to find an impart-ial referee for our hard playing-foot ball games between Fulfordand Ganges, so being a new-comer, Frank was roped in anddid a good job,"

Mr. Stanley Wagg- answeredthe toast and recalled the yearswhen he had worked along withFrank in many activities.

Mr. Stevens thanked thepeople for making their GoldenWedding, celebrations so mem-orable and he didn't forget towish all mothers well on this

Mother's Day.
