Mrs. McManus Sr. got a real thrill from herprize as it was the first time she had ever gone fish-ing. This was one of the nicest Derby days so faras weather was concerned. The improvement in thecatch of some ten salmon was encouraging. TheFulford Salmon Derby Association has announced thatafter current expenses are paid, surplus money willgo toward a new floor for the Fulford Hal!.

Capt. L. Mollet and Mrs. Mollet v/ere in chargeof the Derby.

Mr. H. Carlin, the official Ganges weatherobserver, reports that this August has been the wett-est in his records, which cover 36 years.

V/ATER BOARD MEETINGNorth S.S.I. Water District parcel tax, recently

imposed on property fronting on the water system,will be applied as follows: Group A: one acre orless, with house, $|6 annually; Group B: one acreor less,without house, $15; Group C: one acre orless, with business establishment, including hotelor motel, $20; Group D: one to five acres, withhouse, $18; Group E: one to five acres withouthouse, $16; Group F: one to five acres with busi-ness, $22; Group G: more than ten acres, withhouse, $20; Group H: five to ten acres, not ingroup G, $18; Group I: more than ten acres, withhouse or houses, $22; Group H: more than ten acres/without house, $20.

Taxation will be applied for She year 1962 andwill be sent out as a separate account. Water Boardofficials estimate that approximately 60% of the 330taxpayers using the water system will be in Group A.The Water Act states that one year ddfinc]uency intax payment leaves property open for tax sale.

Subscribers to North Salt Spring Water Districtwill be allowed in future to use up to 3000 gallonsfor a monthly charge of $4, os against previous max-imum consumption of 2500 gallons for the same cost,C.R. Horel, chairman of the Wafer Board, stated ata public mooring held Aug. 29 in, Marion Hall. Themeeting was called to explain necessity of the recent-ly introduced parcel tax.

Mr. Horel reviewed the history of the watersystem and said, thor while never financially robust,it was able io function withou* taxation, but onlybecause of financial assistance given when neededby the late Gavin C, Mouat. Increase in the numberof users, and heavier consumption of water, has re-suited in breakdowns in the now inadequate systemand the naed for replacements and line extensions,he said,

A full scale enginearing survey held recently,recommended expenditure of $63,000 to make thesystem fully serviceable, said Mr. Horel, The WaterBoard has reduced the figure >o $23,000, to coveronly the most urgent work, he said.

Only by defaultingipn the bond issue due to theestate of the late Gavin Mouat, has the Board beenable to meet serious emergencies v/hich have devel-oped in the water system over recent months, ex-plained Mr .Horel .

A bond issue totalling $35,000, to be spreadover 25 years, is needed, said Mr* Kore!, to meetminimum standards of maintenance (Cont'd to P,2)

V/ATER BOARD MEETING (Cont'd. from P. I)and to pay the debt ov/ing to the Mouat estate.The estimated $23,000 required for improvements,includes new v/ater intake installation at MaxwellLake, and $2,000 to be spent annually for lateralreplacements to keep ahead of acute emergencies,said Mir. Horel. The present inadequate systemhas resulted in serious inconven-ience in some sections, he said.Tv/o people on McPhillips Ave.in Ganges could not drawwater at the same time. Sun-set Drive residents were de-prived of v/ater for periods last-ing from four to six hours, saidMr. Horel. The situation inGanges has been alleviated byinstallation of 4" transite pipe,and similar work Is in progresson Sunset Drive. Mr. Horelsaid a 1 1/4" lateral serving30 people at Vesuvius is inade-quate and in need of early re-placement.

Maintenance budget willinclude v/ages for part timehelp. The chairman commendedWaterworks Super! ntendant,Peter Cartwright, for his valu-able contribution in keepinginstallations v/ell below anticipated costs. Mr.Horel cited the McPhillips Ave. work, estimatedby engineers at $1725 and completed for $1300, asan example of Mr. Cartwright's capabilities.

Mr. Horel's announcement that an increasedamount of water"will be allowed to users under the$4 monthly rate, was followed by explanation ofthe continuing need to limit water consumption.Present size of laterals does not permit unlimiteduse of water all over the district, fFihe said. Year round use of waterin excess of the minimum rate pro-vides urgently needed revenue,said Mr. Horel, who remindedthe audience that the v/ater dist-

rict is a non-profit enterprise. It is the duty ofthe Board to supply water at lowest possible cost,he said, and promised delivery of more waterat less cost as soon as possible.

Speakers in the audience stated that cost ofwater from the local system including the newparcel tax, is much cheaper than installationarid-maintenance cost required for a privatewater supply. Applause greeted tho remark-: ,7of a lady who commended the trustees for their

work and advocated support of their plans for im-proving the service and payment of debt.

"Dear Sir: Congratulations on your editorial anentthe use of the ward "ladies". Fundamentally ofcourse every member of the female sex i; a lady,There happens to be a small percentage which ap-pears to deny this but a close investigation probab-ly would reveal the fact that some man is respons-ible for the decline in self-respect which degradesa woman to a less status than that of "lady".

Unfortunately, too many of the fair sex havebecome imbued with "he idea that being a "lady"means that one has a superabundance of materialpossession^, gives cocktail and other similar life-wasting parties, cultivates an exaggerated accent,belongs to the "best clubs", recognizes only the "best" people andiook^ snootily down c i those who do not "conform".

The adjustment to the rigid proced-ures and good equipment in campus labs was sudden.1 think that better laboratory facilities would be adefinite asset to science students planning to takehigher education in the sciences. One objectivequestion - Is it worth while constructing and orequipping complete laboratories or science roomsfor the few students now taking the senior sciences?This is complicated by the unknown future. Howmany students will need good laboratories in thenext: few years? As I understand the debate thathas been going on, the words 'science room1 aremeant to mean laboratory space * If this is the case,the science courses in Grades 8 to 10 would haveto be expanded to obtain maximum use of the fa-cilities provided by a new science room. I think,too, the better equipment would arouse more in-terest in the students.

"Who?- helped these men and women, ofsuch vastly differing creeds or beliefs, racesbackgrounds and upbringing, stand as acommunity during the hardships and heart-breaks of those pioneer years? 1 have oftenwondered. It is certain they brought withthem a host of conflicting viev/points,theories and prejudices, The answer would'seem to be they were inspired by one bdief,the possibilities cf a good life on Salt Spring,if riot for themselves, for their children andthey were united by one bond, a detesta-tion of tyranny in any shupo or form,"

WTi'h the current government policy of stressingacademic learning, a gymnasium does not have aprominent place in the government's plans for futurecurriculum^,, . However, a gymnasium would be a de-finite asset to the community, and of no doubt somevalue to schoo! students« A reasonably large gym-nasium, with supervised activities, would make thelong muddy months of winter pass much more rapidlyand would help keep the students, and the school,much cleaner, !f teachers object to supervising ac-tivities, a prefect syctorn could be set up for noonhours or even all school hours.

Among the advantages of a gymnasium must belisted rhe auditorium, Th.2 present halls on the is-land arc simply not largo enough for such well at-tended shows as ihe Picturama and the Lions' ClubShowr Even some public meetings crov/d the avai-lable space, The auditorium could'dso house re1-gular school functions without many of the students1

GYMNASIUM-AUDITORIUM (Cont'd from Page 7)think the local fire department would breathe easierif three hundred people could assemble in a moremodern building.

The crux of the problem is whether or not themoney spent v/ould be compensated by the advan-tages, both immediate and future. Does the ma-jority of Outer Islands taxpayers want to pay foradvantages on Salt Spring? I doubt it, There tooa problem exists. Are there enough students fromthe outer islands attending high school here towarrent the expense? That ! don't know.

In summary, as a past student of this school, Ithink that these improvements would be worthwhile.
