A CLOSE LOOK AT THE ELECTION PICTURE AND A FORECAST OF WEDNESDAY'S VOTE

PREVIEW OF ELECTION AND ITS RESULTSW FRANK RICHARDS

What British Columbia needsthis week more than anythingelse is a good election forecast-er.

For the first time in 17 yearsthe people of British Columbiaare going to the polls withoutthe certain knowledge that amajority Social Credit govern-ment is in the offing. Or is it?

Seventeen :jears ago Saanichseat was wrested from the C.C.F. by John Tisdalle. Mr. Tis-dalle, preacher and realtor, wasa newcomer to the provincial

scene when he was nominatedby the up-and-coming SocialCredit party. Frank Snowsellhad taken the seat from the Lib-erals in the sweeping rejectionof Liberals and Coalition 18years ago. He then lost to JohnTisdalle in the volcanic erup-tion of Social Credit a newBritish Columbian political phi-losophy with a new Social Cre-dit leader in a burgeoning prov-ince thoroughly dissatisfied withthe old lines of the old line par-ties.

At regular intervals Mr. Tis-dalle has returned to the polls I

and has duly regained his seat.Social Credit was an amalga-

mation. The new party drewsupporters from the disgruntled'free enterprise" ranks. As So-cial Credit twinkled aloft, theTories' star sank to new depths.For years the Conservativescould not win a seat. Not evenspectacular new leadershipwould save them. And the Lib-erals were in little better posi-tion.

Coalition of Liberals and Con-servatives had, a decade earlier,saved the province from Social-ism.

Absorption of the waveringLiberals and Conservatives bythe advancing Social Credit par-ty had, once again, averted asocialist government in B. C.This picture obtained for 17years.

Even without the controversialcelluloid reminder, "The GoodLife", they were good years.Population advanced and ab-sorbed provincial obligations.Communications advanced byrail and road and sea. Everyonewas wealthy, intoxicated, withspending or otherwise, and itwas a good life.

What of today?

The Social Credit party hasrallied to the support of its el-ected members and the cam-paign has been lavish. The Li-berals promised a new birth andthe Tories named a new leader.The Social Credit hoped theycould keep it. The New Demo-crats1 knew they could make itand the Liberals looked hopeful-ly to a new era of authority. TheTories accepted a grandstandseat and fielded nobody but theinew leader.

tal Church. An easterner, hecomes from Ontario, he haslived in the riding since shortlyafter- the Second World War.

Mr. Tisdalle operated a real-ty company in Sidney for anumber of years and is present-ly employed in Victoria.

Don Johannessen is a teacherin Victoria. A graduate in ec-onomics, he is the youngest ofthe candidates. His wife is al-so a teacher and the two livein Saanich, near Victoria.

Latest entry into the race wasthe Liberals* Lindholm. Victor-ia lawyer with a home in NorthSaanich, he is a newcomer tothe hustings. He has been aLiberal worker for a number ofyears.

Polls will open at 8 am onWednesday, Aug. 27 and closeat 8 pm.

On Salt Spring Island therewill be three polling stations.Voters whose registration cardsshow S34 will vote at FulfordHall; S35 will cast their ballotsat the Legion Hall in Gangesand cards bearing S36 will berequired to attend at CentralHall.

Vote on Wednesday, says ev-ery candidate, "Vote for me".

Three candidates for the isl-ands seat represent Liberal, NewDemocrat and Social Credit.What's the difference? How willeach look to the well-being ofthe islands?

Liberal Louis Lindholm saw avast difference. The Liberalsare the logical alternative to So-cial Credit, he asserted. Thevoter can support Liberal prog-ram while standing by the prin-ciples of free enterprise.

The Liberals represent a pathbetween the Big Business linkwith Social Credit and the Unionlink with the New Democrat Par-ty.

In connection with island pro-blems, he has advocated assist-ance by low-interest loans forthe municipal or industrial sew-age works.

He also calls for the relief ofproperty from education taxes.

"I would also advocate a com-munity plan for the Gulf Islandsarea," said Mr. Lindholm,"toensure that sporadic but intens-ive development which wouldbe out of character with the isl-ands would not be tolerated,"

He would work towards regul-ations to prohibit small-lot sub-divisions and to provide string-ent anti-pollution control, av-erred the Liberal candidate.

He is close to the islands and

INSPECTIONS

WorkStops

AgainAnother two-week delay has

commenced in building opera-tions among the Gulf Islands.

When the Greater Victoria Me-tropolitan Board of Health calleda halt to inspections two weeksago there was an outcry from is-lander* engaged in buildinghomes.

Last week they were assuredthat inspections were only heldup while-staff was on holiday.There is only one man to coverall of Saanich Peninsula, theGulf Islands and the southwestcoast of Vancouver Island whilethe holiday period is in effect.

Today there is only one mancovering this area again. DarylAnderson, inspector for the isl-ands and Saanich Peninsula, ison holiday.

There will be no inspectionsof sewer installations until Sept-ember 2.

IT TOOK THREE YEARS

Bill Earl, of North Vancouvertook three years to do it, but hefinally caught his spring salmon.The visitor, a guest at RainbowResort is seen weighing the bigfellow at Mouat's. He had noscale which would .hold it.

The spring weighed 36 poundsl-and an ounce.

Mr. Earl caught the fish offCrofton, to the north.

"I've fished here for threeyears," he explained happily,"and this is the first big one I'vecaught."

There was a salmon barbecueat Rainbow last Tuesday night.

The big spring was boatedwith the aid of a net. The fish-erman found the net and used itthe rest of the afternoon. Andthe net had a story.

The previous day saw Mr. andMrs. Don Layard out fishing forall they were worth. They hada new net and they caught ninecoho in the course of the trip.

They had never had such luckand when the net floated awaythey were horrified. The net

had brought them luck. In themeantime the North Vancouverfisherman had never struck itrich. Until he found the net.Now they all know it's a luckynet!

"We owed him a favor," saidBob Anderson, "and Mayne Isl-and Fair would have been shortof'one of their exhibitors."

TISDALLEJohn D. Tisdalle, Social Cre-

dit candidate here came fromVictoria to address a capacitycrowd at Galiano Hall last weekto give a short speech, and toshow the much-talked aboutfilm, "The Good Life".

He spoke of many things, thehospital plan now in effect, theferry system, and others.. " They said more than ten

years ago that it couldn't bedone, now that it has been done,they say that anyone could havedone it"...

Mr. TLsdalJe told the attent-ive audience- that he sparked theidea of the ferry docks beingbuilt in the Sidney area,, insteadof having to sail all the way ar-ound to Victoria, just becauseit is the capital city.

He told of the growth of theP.G.E., of "taking the Northout of the deep freeze", andgiving the great north countrymore representation in theHouse.

An interesting point wasbrought forth, he said that thisday, there were 871,000 lunchbuckets packed to work in B.C.,which is 78,000 more than lastyear at this time, wages higheron the average for the working

A yachtsman, a sportingyachtsman for he has five timessailed in the Swiftsure, and aresident of the North Saanichshoreline, he is in love with theislands, he noted.

sen offers immediate help to is-landers. The entry of a NewDemocrat government woul^ieaccompanied by cancellati^Pofthe three-year permit system forsewage discharge into the sea,he stated.

This is only part of his plansfor preserving the Saanich andThe Islands area.

Pollution must be stopped—this will hurt the developer andthe industrialist, but we mustfulfill this debt to our environ-ment, " he observed, Mr. Joh-annessen enumerated otherneeds of the area, local hospi-tals, increased educational op-portunity and aid to the taxpay-er during this period of risinginflation. The New Democratsare the only feasible alternativeto Social Credit, he asserted.

On a provincial basis, Mr.Johannessen suggested that theemphasis in B. C. should be ontechnical schools in order to en-courage secondary industries.With a working force and an in-creasing provincial market sec-ondary industry would develophere as it has in California, heforecast.

* #Social Credit candidate John

Tisdalle simply looks back onhis party's record. If the voteris satisfied with the standardsmaintained in the province dur-ing the Social Credit administra^tion, he will vote Social Credit,avers the candidate who has re-presented the constituency for17 years.

In provincial matters as inlocal matters the Social Creditgovernment's accomplishmentsare patent, Mr. Tisdalle avers.Islanders have already benefit-

ted from the government's earlyand prompt introduction of rig-id pollution controls.The Islands are the crown jew-

els of Victoria, stated the can-didate, and he will fight tokeep them so.

INSPECTIONS MUST BE MADESanitation is not so simple.Last week John Tisdalle, So-

cial Credit candidate for Saan-ich and the Islands told a Gan-ges meeting that there was noproblem here in connection withsewer installations.

He had discussed the matter,said the candidate with Dr. J.L. M. Whitbread, Medical Off-icer of Health and the seniorhealth inspector.

DOUGLASBE AVER

POINTCrowd far beyond any expect-

ation attended the New Demo-cratic Party Potluck Supper heldat Beaver Point Hall on Saturdayafternoon. About 250 were theremostly from Salt Spring and witha representation from the otherislands. After a short social ga-thering, supper was under way.Casseroles, pies, salads, breadsand desserts were served in thehall. The bright sunny weatherencouraged many to eat outdoorspicnic style, on the freshly cutlawns.

Mingling with the guests wereTommy Douglas, national NDPleader and local M. P.; Don Joh-annessen, NDP candidate in theAugust 27 election; and DaveBarrett, a well-known figure inthe provincial N.D.P. DaveStupich, former M.L.A. herewas unable to attend.

After supper the gathering wasaddressed informally by Mr.Douglas, Mr. Johannessen, andMr. Barrett.

Pollution control was high onthe list of topics. They also dis-cussed misconceptions about theNDP and the need for a changein government.

Both Mr. Douglas and Mr.Barrett warmly endorsed the can-didature of Don Johannessen, inthis riding, and expressed theirconfidence in his chances of suc-cess in the forthcoming election.

He had elicited the informa-tion, Mr. Tisdalle told the mee-ting, that the preliminary insp-ections could be undertaken bythe owner of the property with-out the need of a sanitary orhealth inspector.

Daryl Anderson, health insp-ector for Saanich, Central Saa-nich, Sidney, North Saanich,Salt Spring, Mayne, Galiano,Saturna and the Pender Islands,-warns that property owners who

follow this advice may findthemselves in a bind.

The property must be inspect-ed before any installation com-mences, he told DRIFTWOOD.

Mr. Anderson called DRIFT-WOOD while he was on holidayfor fear of leaving the matteruntil his return. Property own-ers could be obliged to demolishany such work undertaken with-out prior authority from his de-partment, warned the inspector.

FRIEND OF CHILDREN

Death Of Capt. DrummondOnce a prominent sporting fig-

ure on Salt Spring Island Capt.Leopold D. B. Drummond passedaway in Lady Minto Htspitallast Tuesday at the age of 88.

Veteran of the Boer War, hehad been failing in recentmonths and his last brief publicappearance was the occasion ofhis presenting the deeds to Dru-mmond Park to the community.

Capt. Drummond was born inEngland and has been around theworld.

He is a former mounted policeofficer and served in two warswith the Imperial army.

He settled on Salt Spring Isl-and after the First World Warand became a notable soccerplayer. He engaged in sportsand spent many hours every

summer teaching youngsters theelements of sport.

He was also a notable philat-elist and encouraged others tocollect stamps.

This year he presented a stripof land along the shore of Ful-ford Harbour for perpetual useas a children's playground. It isnow known as Drummond Park.

Capt. Drummond was namedcitizen of the year by SaltSpring Island Chamber of Com -merce in token of his long serv-ice to the children of the island.

IN APPRECIATIONBY BEA HAMILTON

Man whose name has longbeen linked with Fulford passed 'away on Tuesday last week. Hewas Capt. L.B.D.Drummond,of Fulford-Ganges Road.

In June, the children came tovisit their old friend and bene-factor Capt. Drummond, in hisgarden, there to share with himthe honor paid him by the Cit-izen of the Year award presentedby the Salt Spring Island Cham-ber of Commerce.

It was a happy scene underthe trees, and a happy occasion.That day, Capt. Drummond hadhanded over the deed to theChildren's Park - DrummondPark - and this is somethingthat will be a lasting pleasureto the present children on SaltSpring and to their* own chil -dren's children in years to come.

The name of Drummond willbe remembered in future years.It is remembered today with af-fection, for the island childrenhave known him personally.

Some of them learned aboutstamp collecting from Capt. JockDrummond - several childrenare now grown men and womenwith children of their own -some are just entering adulthoodBut they too will rememberCapt. Drummond with affectionand respect.

VOTING IS THE MOST AND THE LEAST

The most annoying individual is the man who has re-signed from society.

When you ask him who he plans to vote for he shrugshis sad shoulders and sneers, because he knows fullwell that tt doesn't make a tittle of difference who hevotes for.

He is well aware that other men are corrupt. He iswell aware that governments are corrupt. Thereforehe avoids voting because he refuses to choose betweendegrees of evil so evident to him.

From his lofty seat of judgment he offers a glib andusually heated treatise on mankind. He has alreadyforgotten he belongs to the same species.

It is cnnoying because he is inflexible in his viewsand hollow in his convictions. He has developed pess-imism to the degree where it becomes the guiding lightof his life and he no longer considers the welfare orthe well-being of his fellow men. He is non-voter bychoice: the professional non-voter.

Next in rank is the man who is indifferent. He willvote if he thinks about it, but he doesn't know any-thing about the candidates or who they are. If hegetsaround to it he'll vote.

Least offending, but low in the scale of public serv-ice is the man who figures that the candidate of hischoice is not running this time so he might as well notvote at all.

He has devoted some slight mental effort to the mat-ter, but not enough to cause any disturbance in thegentle pattern of his mind.

The convinced voter will support the candidate inwhom he hastihe greatest confidence. The uncommif-ted has but three factors to consider, the candidate,the party and the leader.

If he accepts the principles and policies of the partyhe must support it.

If he approaches the competing parties with somemisgivings or lack of conviction he can assess the rel-ative merits of the leaders or of the candidates them-selves.

Refusal to take part wtrl help nobody.

The only man who can live in complete indifferenceto the affairs of the community around him is the herm-it who knows no community or community ties.

The voter who is at odds with all the views of allthe administrators has the privilege of seeking newpatterns. If he abandons everything, he is no longera participating member of the community.

Every voter who has the privilege of voting shouldbe at the polls on Wednesday. If he doesn't yet knowwhich way to vote, he has a week to decide.

Use it!

LETTERS TO THE EDITORTHEY SHOULDN'T

Editor, Driftwood,Candidates running for the

Social Credit and Liberal part-ies should be advised of regula-tions governing the placing ofsigns during the present camp-aign.

It is illegal to post signs ontelephone posts - and is hazar-dous to linemen as well. It isalso illegal to post signs on pub-lic property. The NDP, itshould be noted, places signs onprivate property and only if theowner has granted permission.

The scattering of Tisdallesigns on telephone posts, treesand public property in generalis another example -of toe Soci-al Credit penchant for pollut-ing.

W. D. Young,R. R. 1, Fulford Harbour,August 17, 1969.

FOR THE FIRST TIME

Editor, Driftwood,I seem to be one of many eld-

erly people on this island votingNDP for the first time.

The Layards settled here in1905 and did their very best inpublic and free work, magistr-ate, civil defence and Legion.Mrs. B.V.Layard was very large-ly responsible for the first LadyMinto Hospital erection and star-ting.

In most discussions thesepoints:1.) Total disbelief in statementsthat B.C. is free of debt and re-sentment at being thought sogullible.2.) Wicked waste of public mo-ney in such things as The GoodLife. Luckily, it has done theSocreds more harm than good.3.) Long and expensive tours toEurope, Japan, etc., at, pres-umably, public expense. It isnot the Premier's business to"drum up trade" and leave hisown job so often and for so long.4.) Above all, perpetual use of"orders-in-council", especiallyfinancial matters. These weremeant in the "Mother of Parlia-ments" for wartime and strictlyemergency use. In actual factthey constitute a dictatorship.5.) Resentment at being told"Bennett has given the ferries toB.C."... all out of public mon-ey.6.) Strong feeling and convic-tion that "a surplus" is some-thing to be ashamed of, not

proud of. The taxpayer has, inone way or another, been heavi-ly overtaxed. Taxes are to runthe country's business, not tohand out huge sums of money tounderdeveloped countries, cult-ural grants, Indians and "disast-er funds".

The Indians* grants would befine if wisely administered andopenly shown.

A government is supposed toadminister a country like a mod-el housewife, we do not expecther to ask for .a much biggerhousehold allowance from a wea-ry overworked wage earner andthen go around the neighborhooddoing the Lady Benevolent Act.

A recent cartoon sums up thewhole thing. Two tired inlandrevenue men say to each other,"If only we could let the peoplespend their own money!"7.) Above all I cannot remem-ber (though my History and Ec-onomics Honors degree is a dimmemory now) that in any gover-nment a member did not resignat once if convicted of libel,shall we say, or lawcourt trou-ble in private life. Usually thewhole government resigns.

We are getting too much inthe way of saying, "That's pol-iticians for you! Politics are adirty game!"

I really believe that the NDPcome at least with clean handsand a desire to shun all corrup-tion and pollution, physical orotherwise and are on the whole

better educated and dedicated.For a young man like Johannes-sen to have an economics deg-ree should be of some use inthis mess of confused thinkingcalled politics.

Other older people, like my-self, will have many otherpoints in mind and the youngerfolk would like the promisedhospital and more for schoolsand have our lovely waters keptclean for their children's healthand recreation. It is a greatpity that the Liberals who mos-tly think like this should runcandidates and split votes. Tovote Liberal is probably tothrow away your vote.

Get NDP in and "clean yourhouse" and then all takethought for tomorrow. Excusean old bore who is scared to —death about the future.

M.S.Layard,Ganges.August 18, 1969.

HYDRO BILLS

Editor, Driftwood,Thank you so very much for

giving space to my letter of July26. I was amazed at the numb-er of people who contacted me,as I always been of the opinionthat no one reads the "Letters tothe Editor". I was certainly mi-staken.

The B.C.Hydro accepted mycheque for partial payment, andlast week an official of the Hy-dro came to see me. He admi-tted that under certain circum-stances Hydro customers couldbe cheated on their light bills,under this new deal, and that hewould report back to his comp-any to this effect. By the wayhe had a cutting from your July26 issue.

The first charge on your lightbill of 2 1/2 c per K.W. for thefirst 300, or $7.50 plus tax isreputed to be the highest on theN.American Continent. Yet wewere promised that power fromthe Peace River could be deliv-ered for i/8 c per K.W. Thepower is here now, but where isthe promise. Many, many of uson the strength of these promisesbuilt all electric homes, and weare now evidently stuck withthem. When asked why, theleast paid male employees inthis huge organization, was to.be put on part time, the gentle-man from Hydro tells me thathalf of the meter readers wouldbe laid, off or superannuated,andthat their districts would be tak-en over by the remaining half.

Our meter reader here, is ona contract basis, and is now onhalf-time, and should you be in-terested, phone him (Mr. A . M .Sharp).

Mr. Hydro, I am getting awf-ully tired of the ring in my nose.

CAMPAIGN(From Page One)

The campaign started withpomp and ceremony, the flour-ish ot governmental trumpetsand the hoisting of numerous 4-x8 flags. Yellow and orangeflags were the most common.The yellow Social Credit andthe orange NDP. They blossom-ed out in front gardens, with anoccasional red Liberal panel tobreak the sequence.

The Social Credit organiza-tion listed the seats they couldexpect to retain. The New De-mocrats listed those they couldhope to gain. The Liberalscame out with excursions andalarums and dropped into acomfortable low gear to a slow-beat campaign. The slow beatis almost inaudible against thevigorous, even vicious ex-change between Soared and NevDemocrat.

What will happen on August27?

Predictions are temporary;too quickly time disproves them,

The very temporary predic-tion would see little major •,change. A Social Credit gov-ernment will probably be ret-urned. It may, it will proveless potent than the present one.The New Democratic Party willgain some strength, but it couldBalance against Social Creditrecoveries. The Liberals havethundered across the politicalstage in dancing pumps. Hadthe Liberals delivered in accord-ance with their widely broad-cast plans, had the Conservat-ives roared into rebirth, thenext government would havebeen headed by Mr. Berger.Butthese things didn't happen.

The Social Credit governmenthas gained that arrogance oflong tenure. It has declined todiscipline its own officers evenwhen pressed to do so. But it hasone more term ahead in whichto either make a rapid switch inits mode of life or to lose itslife.

The New Democrats have el-ected a new leader. As a leaderhe is untried. Unknown by hissupporters or by British Columbiaat large. As a leader, he is anintellectual by appearance andmany will decide that one int- •ellectual in government is en-ough for all of Canada.

His supporters look back on* ...anitoba with optimism and the

New Democrats have every rea-son. Yet Manitoba is far rem-oved from British Columbia,har-bouring a people facing differ-ent problems, living differentlives, studying different politic-al issues.

Any forecast is open to ques-tion. We are confident that,whether we like it or not, whe-ther we can stomach it or not,Mr. Bennett will head the nextgovernment of British Columbiaand Mr. Tisdalle will take hisplace in the government bench-es. And it will be their lastfling.

The aging Social Credit gov-ernment will then go to the po-litical knacker yard and the So-cialists appear likely to ride thenext winner in the billion dollarB. C. steeplechase; not this one

The joke was on the two spea-kers.
