THEYSHOTTHESWAN

PHOTO STORYBY REG ASH WELL

One of the friendly white - - . :swans of Cusheon Lake is with usno more and the other is introuble.

These beautiful birds havebeen admired and enjoyed byboth residents and visitors alikefor many years and were verytame. They were privatelyowned and each was tagged onthe leg. Their wings were clip-ped so they could not fly.

They were always togetherand there is not a residence onthe lake which was not regular-ly visited by them once or twicea week.

They delighted us by takingbread from our hands and snooz-ing on our beaches. It was as ifthey belonged to everyone onthe lake, and :in turn everyonebelonged to them.

That is, until Wednesday af-ternoon last week when a boatwas seen to emerge from thesmall inlet on the south side ofthe lake. Two human predatorswere in the boat, chasing oneof the swans. They shot it infull view of residents* homes,only about 125 feet off shore, .and hauling the dead or dyingbird into the boat, rowed rapid-ly back to the seclusion of theinlet.

What kind of sportsmen areese, who would row up to a

bird and deliverately killit? This sadistic act, committ-ed in broad daylight, served nopurpose except to satisfy theblood lust of the perpetrators andtheir open contempt for humandecency.

The R.C.M.P. were calledand were extremely prompt intheir investigation, which app-arently is still continuing.

The remaining swan is nowextremely frightened and nerv-ous of people and is still hidingin the marshes skirting the lake.To observe this once friendlybird spread its wings and swim aaway at furious speeds from anapproaching boat is not a prettysight.

Anyone knowing anythingwhich could lead to the arrestand conviction of those respons-ible should inform the police.

It seems there is no longer anysafety for the wild life on Cush-eon Lake.

Last summer it was the ducks

which were hunted down. Nowthey have killed a tame swan.What will be next?

December ElectionsThree Are

ElectedTo Board

Three school trustees were el-ected by acclamation in Gulf Is-lands School District on Monday.Declared elected by ReturningOfficer Audrey Bridgen were Mrs.Sheila Fraser and Robert Marsh-all, Ganges and Mrs. Bertha Ma-tthews, Fender.

There were two vacancies onSalt Spring Island and one onFender.

At Galiano two candidateshave been named. They are theincumbent, Donald A. New andMrs. Elizabeth Beach.

Election will take place onSaturday, Dec. 12, at Galianoand polls will open from 8 amto 8 pm.

There is no election this yearfor the Regional District andboth island directors have ano-ther year to serve.

*Fire Protection By law

Owner-electors at the Renders and South Galianowill vote on fire protection by-laws on December 12.

Fire protection by-law at Ga-liano will ask ratepayers to sup-port legislation whereby the firedepartment will be financed outof taxes, instead of dependingon voluntary donations and oth-er sources.

The Fenders face a similar by-law, but presented with the pur-pose of setting up a fire depart-ment.

On Galiano the departmenthas been in operation for manyyears. Bob Bambrick has head-ed the department for a numberof years and was directing oper-ations when his own business wasstruck by fire last year.

The department has a 1947pumper truck which was acquir-ed in 1963 from Langford.

Secretary of the fire depart-ment is Chester Williams andchairman is Dudley Tweedale.

Hunter Training LoomsHunter training program is al-

ready on its way to all part ofBritish Columbia.

George Ferguson, of the B.C.Fish and Wildlife branch toldSalt Spring Island Rod and GunClub last week of the prepara-tions for universal hunter train-ing and a close policing of hun-ters.

He explained that at the pres-ent time there appeared to beno regulation which would rest*rict the issue of a hunting li - .cense to a blind man.

Mr. Ferguson compared hunt-ing with driving. A potentialdriver seeks to acquire a license.He is given a book of rules andtold to study it. He then sub-mits to an examination to ascer-tain how much he has learned.

Subsequently he must provehis ability to handle a vehicle.

The same man walks into anissuing office and walks out withhis license to carry and use agun.

Despite lack of tight regula-tions in the province, the speak-er observed that the rate of acci-dents in British Columbia woodswas among the lowest of anyprovince or state in North Amer-ica.

There is no doubt, he said,that it will eventually be mand-atory that all hunters seeking alicense will be required to passa test and to demonstrate theircapability of handling a gun.

He switched to the other ex-treme and cited instances wherelack of intelligent handling of

- PROGRAM ALREADY UNDER WAYguns approached the farcical.

He described an instance ofapproaching a car on a routinecheck of licenses. Everythingwas in order until he gestured to

toucn a rine in tne rear ot thecar being inspected.

"Watch it!" warned the driv-er, "that thing's all set to gooff!" (Turn to Page Eight)

SENIORS ARE ADULTS

HOCKEY PATTERN CHANGESExpanded senior league and a

tighter control on hockey play-ers in Fulford Hall are the maindevelopments of the Salt SpringIsland hockey association meet-ing recently.

The senior league will be op-en to all boys and men over 16.For the first time, the game willbe available to adults as well asyoungsters.

Effect of the change will be tobring the intermediate group upto the age of 16.

Change was effected to coverlast year's problems when onlya handful of players registeredfor the senior age group. Fulf-ord fielded its full quota, butneither Ganges nor the North Endcould compete in numbers.

Restriction on unsupervised ac-tivity in the hall has been imp-osed. Any player found in thehall without a coach or supervi-sor in attendance will be suspen-ded for the remainder of the sea-son.

Hockey will commence inJanuary, although practice andexhibition games will be playedduring the current month.

Top Prize To ChemainusTop prize in the Rotary Grey

Cup Breakfast on Saturday wentto a resident of Chemainus.

Romeo Chick edged out RaySimard, of Fulford, when the

last chips were down and walkedoff with a cheque for $1,500.

It was not the first win for theChemainus visitor. He explain-ed that he had won three big pri-zes in the past year.

In cnarge ot roller hockey onthe island are, president, T. G.Slingsby and secretary-treasurerMrs. Art Moulton; area represen-tatives, Fulford, Bob Tara; Gan-ges, Doug Burke and there is nonominee yet from the north end.

Timekeepers are Karen Brown,Terry Anderson, Bill Hubbardand Jack Roland and Lil Kylerwill keep records.

Registration date for hockey isDecember 18, with the firstleague game to be played onJanuary 10.

Players will be responsible forskates, sticks, helmets and pads.

Registration fee is $5, withspecial rates for family member-ship.

Poppy Day

Yields $200In IslandsThe Poppy Day collections of

the Gulf Islands Branch 84, TheRoyal Canadian Legion reacheda total of $195.19.

Individual Island collectionswere: Galiano, $130; Mayne,$32.69; Saturna, $32.50.

Legionnaires expressed theirthanks to those who gave timeand effort to make the collec-tion and to the general publicwho supported it.

-The by-law to be presentedto Fender Islanders is different.It provides for the establishmentof a volunteer fire department,with an initial capital outlay toacquire property and equipment.

On Galiano, the vote will betaken at Galiano school from 8

'am to 8 pm. At Fender therewill be two polling stations, oneat Fender Island school and oneat Bedwell Harbour Resort.Times are the same.

All voters on Galiano are eli-gible to vote for a school trust-ee. Only owner-electors atGaliano and Fender may voteon the referendum by-law.

Mrs. Audrey Bridgen is return-ing officer for all three votes.

HospitalPlansProgressNew hospital facilities for the

islands are going ahead.Health Minister Ralph Loff-

mark has approved preparationof working drawings of the 15-bed "extended care" section ofLady Minto Gulf Islands Hospit-al.

The extension to the presenthospital building intended to ca-ter to people in need of contin-uous hospital care over long per-iods had been planned by the is-lands hospital long before theregional districts were establish-ed in the province to raise mon-ey for hospital construction.

A referendum two years agoapproved the project and it hasbeen in the stages of preparationever since.

Sketch plans were given finalapproval in the spring. The ho-spital then prepared a "pre-con-struction budget" to conv incethe B. C. IHospital Insurance Ser-vice that the hospital can beproperly operated after it iscompleted.

This week the budget has beenapproved in an amended form.It was a variation of only a fewcents, and the drawing has beenauthorized.

New sewage disposal field hasbeen completed at the hospitalin accordance with requirements

SPINSTER WITHOUT A CAUSEBY BEA HAMILTON

It was one of those off-beatannouncements that came overdie radio and proclaimed in asort of rush - this is SPINSTER'SDAY. said the voice.

And that was the last I heardof it.

No headlines in DRIFTWOOD;no big flap anywhere and spinst-er's day simply faded out of ex-istence.

Even the exact day is forgott-en but I think it was Friday. SoI expect the spinster is placed inthe same category as the pedes-trian, who is left stranded with-out bus transportation on SwartzBay runs and other places.

I looked up the dictionary justin case there was any othermeaning for spinster - there .was; one who spins. Almost asextinct as the old Salt Spring Is-land Post Office of 1875 vintage!However I decided by Spinster'sDay they meant the unmarriedfemale. How to fight the spin-

who has been staying on SaltSpring Island, has gone to Sea-ttle to be with a fellow Spanish-speaking student. For a timeLaura attended Gulf Islands Sec-ondary School at Ganges andtook part in some communityactivities.

WHERE DID THEY ALL GO?School administration among the islands is approach-

."'•flg a million-dollar business. Everyone on the islandsis vitally concerned with the cost of living and risingtaxation. There is a ratepayers' association formedwith the idea of the island for islanders.

Yet, there were not sufficient candidates for theoffice of school trustee to merit an election.

On Fender there was a greater interest, althoughthe islands only named one candidate by Monday. OnGaliano there is to be an election, with a newcomerto public affairs, Mrs. Elizabeth Beach, contesting theseat long h eld by Mr. Donald New.

If the populace on Salt Spring Island showed an int-erest in proportion to that on the outer islands this yearthere would be 20 candidates for each of the two seatscoming vacant.

It is astounding that many very vocal Salt Spring Is-landers have been loudly demanding local representa-tion in one field of public affairs, while unaware thatanother exists.

WE ALL HOPEBreathes there a man with soul so dead who never

to himself has said, "Fire siren ! I hope it's not myplace!" We all hope it isn't.,.and thank our luckystars for the volunteer firemen.

Two islands are asking for support of fire protectionby-laws. On Galiano, there is already a fire depart-ment manned by volunteer residents. The legislationwould provide the necessary funds to operate.

At the Pender Islands there is no present provisionand the projected department starts from scratch.

It's cheap insurance, at the least and it's an activegesture of help to the volunteers at the best.

You can't live long without fire protection.. .you ...may never have the chance.

Wise islanders won't try.

NO PARKINGParking space in the Ganges commercial area is

woefully scarce. A shopper last week waxed indignantpver the lack of parking facilities. She was not host-ile towards other drivers, but towards Ganges business-men who park their cars and their employees' cars upand down the street to leave no space for their custom-ers.

The merchants should consider the matter before sucha protest gathers force.

Letters fo the EditorPITY THE DEER

Editor, Driftwood,You very kindly printed my

letter condemning the Greasy PigContest held recently in your co-

***fHrnunity. This brought me sev-eral replies and all appreciatedmy interest in their city. Theyespecially joined me in my con-cern over the harm such contestsdo to children when such roughtreatment of animals in the name

of amusement is done by and forchildren.

Also two other matters werebrought up. It seems by the con-struction of cottage around thelakes that these have cut downthe natural wild fowl feed source,such as destroying the brush andreeds on the lake edges. Theresult is no natural feedinggrounds in sufficient quantity tomaintain the wild fowl.that have .been using the few fresh water

'ie^ r\\£ ONES

lakes for centuries.I have been told that domesti-

cated ducks are brought in andfeed during the summer months,yet left to their own resourcesduring the winter and manystarve.

In another letter a citizen de-plored the'.fact "that buildingsand fences, not approved by theauthorities, are being erected a-round the few fresh water lakesthus cutting the deer off fromtheir drinking avenues".

I wonder if the City Fathersare cognizant of these develop-ments and will take action beforeit is too late.

WHICH WAY?

Editor, Driftwood,In re: No Tapes article in

Driftwood Nov. 26, *70."If anyone gives me a tape

of anything I have said 1*11 justtell him to go to hell and totake his tape recorder with him,stated the chairman."

'Mr. Chairman: You didn'ttell him which hell to go to.This is to advise you that thereare two hells; one, the abode ofthe fallen angels and the otherin Michigan and the temperat-ures are very different. Tb goto hell in Michigan one wouldrequire a heavy overcoat at thistime of the year because it getspretty " Gosh Darn" cold in Hell,(Michigan). So if the partywished to oblige wouldn't it bereal nice to tell him which hellto go to so he'd know whetherto take his heavy overcoat orleave it at home.

Leo McNeil,Vesuvius,November 28, 1970.

IT'S WAY OUT!

Editor, Driftwood,I've just learned that living

out the Beaver Point road hasserious consequences. Doctorswon't come out here. If you arenot ill enough to be rushed byambulance into our well run lit-tle hospital then it's just too badfor you.

Certainly there is some repairwork going on spasmodically butBeaver Point Road is still a haz-ard for those of us who live alorgit. I cannot understand why thisroad, so badly in need of someconstructive work, has been by-passed for so many years. Otherroads on this island are kept in

really fine condition. In fact Ithe north end has mostly goodroads--really good. The southend? Where is that I can almosthear politicians say. People atour end of the island vote toobut, apparently, our votes arenot considered to be vital.

But to have illness and findthat a doctor will not come outthis way is really serious. Cansomething not be done aboutthis through the B. C. Medical?The hospital is a good place tobe but if you don't happen to beill enough to require hospitaliza-tion what do you do? Did I hearsomeone say 'mildew* because itcould happen out here, believeme,

JUVENILESOCCER

DIVISION 1Salt Spring Islanders 2Crofton 0In a hard fought game on Sun-

day the local 10 year olds shutout visiting Crofton.

Finding it hard to get a meth-odical attack going despite al-most continuous pressure the Isl-anders went ahead when GaryHartwig and Kevin Mollett com-bined neatly to put Mike Rozz-ano in the clear. The centreforward gave the goalkeeper nochance with a shot from about20 yards. The same player hadthe ball in the net moments la-ter but the goal was disallowedbecause of a previous foul.

Playing much better in the se-cond half, Salt Spring appearedto go further ahead when Moll-ett s hard shot went in off a post.Unfortunately one of the otherforwards had run into an off-sideposition and the goal was notcounted. Persistence finallypaid off when the half back linecombined to give Rozzano theball in the penalty box and hemade no mistake with a lowdrive, well wide of the "keeper.

Island for the usual battery ofreasons: climate, freedoms, en-vironment, people, etc., and,hopefully, to live there, as soonas possible.

Now that living there begins toseem possible, most of these as-sets are either destroyed or threa-tened by groups of stupid or mis-guided people: There is a batt-ery of governmental authorities,each with their dictatorialspheres and overlapping authori-ties. They disagree amongthemselves and countermandeach other just to demonstrate .that THEIRS is the authority;they are uninformed politicalhay-makers like Hugh Curtisand appointed and electedfence-sitters all the way up theline to the "King Fish" who sitson his hooves and brays about"The Good Life", turning hisback on the bureaucratic bed-lam for which he is directly orindirectly responsible.

Then there is that sorry few,that very very vocal few, thatare diametrically opposed toanything that will, or promisesto change their way of life onthe islands. Basically, I am inagreement with this attitude, I,but this loud few have becomeso vicious and vindictive intheir denunciation of all prog-ress that they are really thegroup responsible for the prog-ressive destruction, through go-vernment of their own Eden.

When a bureaucracy resortsto government by orders incouncil, by passing the will ofthe people it.is damnable anddangerous.

YOUR SCHOOL BOARD

QUESTIONCORNER

DID YOU KNOWThat in spite of criticisms levelled from time to time at theBoard of Trustees of School District No. 64 (Gulf Islands} notenough interested persons filed nomination papers to make itnecessary to hold an election at Salt Spring or at Pender?Pleased though the Board is with the fact that two persons onSalt Spring Island allowed their names to be put up, so thatthe two positions are now filled, and it will not be necessaryto apply to the Minister to make an appointment, an elec-tion would have indicated more.interest in the operation ofthe District.That a telephone list of students riding on the buses is near-ing completion, so that there will be a chain of numbersmaking it possible for one home to phone the next in lineetc. etc., if the buses are unable to run? Let us hope theywill not need to be used!!!!That many people are still not looking at the Voters' Liststo make sure their names are there?

POLLUTION

Editor, Driftwood,We would like to address this

letter to the Chamber of Com-merce of Salt Spring Island, thestudents of the Gulf Islands Sec-ondary ' School are very concern-ed with the pollution problemin GangesJ as we believe theChamber of Commerce is incharge of the garbage cans, thatwere set up last year in Ganges.You as well as we know thatthese garbage cans are alwaysoverflowing from constant use.Then the garbage ,no longer staysin the cans but tends to litterthe streets of Ganges. We donot know exactly what the coun-cil is doing about this, but wewould like to suggest the ideaof having the cans emptied atleast once a day. If you havenot already taken this probleminto consideration, please do.

Grey Cup BreakfastIt was anybody's day in Ful-

ford Hall on Saturday morning.There were about 200 takingpart in the Salt Spring IslandRotary Club's boisterous GreyCup Breakfast.

First to appear were the Rot-arians preparing the hall in theearly hours. They were follow-ed closely by the Rotariannseager to cook breakfast.

There was no Women's Lib inthe hall. It was a stag do up-stairs and the female of thespecies was below stairs, an out-cast from a man's world.

The Rotary Anns had littletime to think about the stag par-ty. They were run off theirfeet as 165 hungry islanders ar-rived for breakfast. Bacon,eggs, sausages and hotcakes...as much as you could eat. Thatwas the slogan and the kitchenwas running at a desperate paceto keep supplies moving.

The attention moved from be-low stairs to the main hall as theopening of the game drew near-er.

The color televisions had beenset up by Sheffield TV. RonBrown, of Salt Spring Cablevi -sion, had provided the wiringand Dave Pallet had wired it all.

It was the second Grey Cupbreakfast to be offered by theRotary Club. It was the first tobe presented at Fulford.

Ticket of $20 buys breakfast,the privilege of watching thegame in the hall and a chanceon the top prize of $1,500.

About 250 ticket-holders tookpart.

By 2:30 pm, the game wasover, the contest was over, thehall was empty and quiet reign-ed once more.

From the drum on the stage tothe cheering, jeering watcherson the floor, the Rotary Grey Cupbreakfast was noisy and fast-mo-ving.

There was Don Luke rushingacross the hall with supplies...Ivor Cawker filling in while SidQaiborne-grabbed a lunch...Vern Meyer's voice holding outabove the laughter and howlingIn the hall... Russ Thorburn keep-ing a strict record. ..Ida McMan-us fighting the eggs... Bruce

Eohnson changing horses in mid-tream... Harold Hoffman eag-;rly listening for No. 131 and

_ veeping when he heard it...Ron Brown watching TV with apaternal eye... Don Hart wighearing from his friends whenhis number was up... The Hum-phreys trying to sort out numbersand onlookers trying to sort outHumphreys... Phil Knowles wax-ing cynical about the program..,Ray Simard helping as he wait-ed out the finals. John Sturdywith a watching brief... BobBlundell losing his chance by awide margin.

WINNERS OFSWEEPSTAKESWinners of the football total

points scores in aid of Junior La-crosse were: Calgary-Edmont-on, Tuppy Agar; Calgary-Sask-atchewan, P. Moore; Calgary-Saskatchewan, Jim Woods; East-West, Pat Doherty.

Hunter Training( From Page One )

It was loaded. It was ready.On enquiry the driver explain-

ed that he knew nothing of gunsor rifles. He was in the woodsand a friend had lent him thefirearm, loaded it and set itwith the safety catch off.

All the new hunter had to dowas pull the trigger. That's allhe knew about the rifle.

Part of the program towardssafer hunting is the hunter'scourse. Paul Presidente, incharge of the safe hunting progr-am has prepared a handbook forinstructors and for students of thecourse.

Instructors* courses are beingsponsored all over the province.Already there are more than 500instructors trained, but the needis for yet more in order that anyhunter may take such a course inhis own community and not berequired to travel around theprovince to attend one, explain-ed Mr. Ferguson.

Course is brief but it covers abroad range.

The hunter learns somethingof game management and the vreasons and justification for con-trol of shooting. He is given arun-down on restrictions and pro-hibitions in the province. Helearns of the habits and habitatsof wild life and he is instructedin the safe handling of a gun.

i/ning LoomsIn addition to the rudimentary

rules of hunting and shooting, thetrainee must know something offire prevention and survival if hebecomes lost.

"And the only man, I maint-ain, who can't get lost in thebush must be crossed with a dogor cat," stated Mr. Ferguson,"There just isn't a man who can'tget lost."

In conclusion, the speaker in-vited the club to take part in theprogram and to contact Mr. Pre-sidente.

Jack Reynolds reported that A-dult Education Supervisor OliveLa yard already has the matter inhand for the spring sessions ofnight school. There are about20 enrolled already, he reported.

Mr. Ferguson subsequently su-ggested that a good policy forall hunters is to nominate one ofthe party to be captain for theday and to observe his directions,By this means the members of tieparty are unlikely to stray awayor into dangerous territory andthey will assemble at a specifictime, he explained. He also urged that under this system, eachmember of the party accept ;thecriticism of the day's leader intheir general handling of fire-arms.

The matter of hunting was anappropriate aftermath to the din-ner. The club's annual gamedinner is a preparation of variousmeat, fish and poultry taken bymembers and donated for thedinner.

PROCEEDS TOWARDS PURCHASEOF HOSPITAL EQUIPMENT

In face of snow warnings, thesegood old friends left their homesin Vancouver before 8 a.m.,travelled via Swartz Bay toreach Fulford about noon, andwere whisked up to Ganges byMr. and Mrs. John Paton.

"The snow we saw," they mur-mured, "was neither imaginarynor exaggerated."

When they reached the UnitedChurch, they were greeted bythe burly piano movers.

The United Church filled withfriends to listen again to the pi-anist and singer they loved sowell. The third member of themusical group, Gordon Lund, wasnot there in person, though per-haps he was in spirit. He cert-ainly was in the minds and heartsof old timers who grieved overhis recent death.

The program of readings withmusical accompaniment, cont-ralto solos and piano solos lastedfor an hour and a half, but seem-ed only a quarter of that time,so varied and delightful it was.

The selections had been chos-en with Salt Spring Island inmind. The first, a reading,"The Paradise Songs" by Rosetti,brought thoughts of friends nolonger with us. This was follow-ed by two gems, Biblical Song#4 and Biblical Song #5 by Dvo-rak.

Miss Baker explained thatmany of the pieces chosen hadbeen sung or played in otheryears on Salt Spring.

Two solos, "Joy O God" and"Devotion" were almost unique,for the singer had composed thewords and the accompanist themusic. To hear compositionsrendered by those whose inspira-tion produced them is a treat notoften permitted to people any-where.

Another touch of Salt SpringIsland came near the end of theprogram when Miss Baker recit-ed a poem written years ago atschool by Brian Beech.

The musical selections inclu-ded "Etude" by Arensky, "Gav-otte" by Gluck-Brahms, "Rhap-sody" by Brahms, "The Cuckoo"by Daguin (and you could hearthe bird himself), "An Irish Lul-laby" by Barren (truly Irish itwas), "The Little White Donkey"by Ibert (you could hear his feetand his adventures), and two se-lections from Chopin. Mr. An-derson expressed the feelings ofthe audience when he remarkedthat that old piano had neverworked so hard in years or givenso much delight.

Miss Morrison and Mrs. Bakerwho had been introduced by MissMary Corbett, were thanked byMrs. J. D. Reid. After the pro-gram they were mobbed by oldfriends and new. •

A MAN AND HIS TEETHBY CHOMPER RICHARDS

There may be weeping andwailing but for mine there'll beno more gnashing of teeth. WhatI got left with simply don'tgnash.

It was a short road to mark theend of a long journey.

Report to Lady Minto Hospitalat 1 am, said the dentist.Reportat 7 pm, said the anaesthetist.

It had me worried. Last timeI was'in hospital the fellow inthe next bed had to take histeeth out before they would doanything to him. What wouldthey want of me before they ..would take my teeth out?

They took my watch out first.Nothing to it! They wheel

you into the operating room forthis major surgery and Mrs. Hart-wig expresses severe criticism ofthe veins she finds and thafetaelast thing you know until youfind you don't have teeth wherethey used to be. And then youstart to think about them.

My mother used to describeher age as being as old as hertongue and a little older thanher teeth. Never again!

There was the dentist who toldme 30 years ago to have themall out, or I would sustain aheart condition. Now 111 neverknow whether he was right.

And the fellow in the air force,who urged me to let him takeout an abcessed tooth. Theycould hear me yell up in the Ma-ginot Line. I'm sure he'd neverdone it before and I hope theJerries got him before his owntroops could. He was a torturer.

The worst was the young ladywho was to examine and re-equip my teeth as a gratefulgift from the air force at theend of the war. I don't knowwhat sort of dentist she was, butshe had obviously graduated fromSergeant-Major. I wouldn't lether even look in my mouth. Twoweeks after I came out I had anabcessed tooth out. Stop at thedentist's office; sit in his chair;he applies anaesthetic and doesthe job and waits till you cometo and you drive home.

Those were the good old days.Down to about four chompers,

life was restricted. Steak wasout... it still is. Chocolate ledto tooth ache. Everything did.So, off to the dentist again.

Have you ever noticed what adifference teeth make?

You hear someone say, "thatfine-looking fellow Blundellwith one leg!" Ever hear any -one say "that fine-looking fell-ow with only one tooth?" Youlose both legs and people aresorry for you: lose all yourteeth and they jeer at you.

This time a check-up and a castof the mouth and the beginningof the end. Then he lost thecast and the dentures \ s never Jmade and things got busy and :that was it.

Until last week.All I can think of is those

lovely teeth. The time theytook me to grow and the timethey took to be whipped out.

One thing I know for sure...these store teeth may not be asstrong, or as sure, or as sore...but I do know I can bite thehead of any bonehead whocomes to tell me how easy it allis.

Come to think about it, Iknow something else.. .you cangrow them cheaper than you canbuy "em!

one hour, and besides, it seem-ed that we did not need to real-ly hurry, anyway!

Many, many times we havegone over to Ganges in a smallboat, and several times camehome in a storm, once quitefast, as Uncle hoisted a sail,andthe wind blew us faster homethan ever.

From then to cow doesn'tseem very long, but we couldnothelp but notice that the shoreline has changed such a lot injust a few years.

The trip through Active Passis always spectacular, and theyoune man with us on Bob's boatthought that the waves from thebig ferryboat "were real neat",as we bounced around, and Bobdeftly took us safely through thechurning waters.

As we approached GeorgesonBay, we noticed that there areabout 25 houses in that Bay now,compared to the two or three ofdays gone by, when the George-son family owned the whole bay.Now it is owned by many, andall have the advantage of theglorious view on this southernpart of Galiano.

On the way into Ganges Harb-our, it was hard to believe;there seems to be so many hous-es on the shoreline now. Look-ing over to the other side of theharbour, and all up the big hill,houses everywhere.

How to double your chances

of avoiding accidents

"10 STEPS TO SAFE DRIVING"1. Keep both hands firmly on the wheel -

at 10 and two o'clock — and both eyeson the road.

2. Never tailgate - - allow at least onevehicle length for every ten miles perhour of speed.

3. On wet, snowy or icy roads, reducespeed well below posted speed limits,depending on the severity of conditions.

4. Always signal intentions — turns, lanechanges, passing.

5. Curves require special attention — slowdown before entering, then apply powerto wheels. Be alert for oncoming cars;they often cross the center line.

6. Never pass on hills or curves. Onstraightaways pass only when positivethe way is clear.

7. Don't drive after heavy drinking. Ifyou have been drinking moderately,allow one hour for each one-ouncedrink or beer (12 ounces) consumed,before driving.

8. Keep the car in good operating condi-tion, especially brakes, tires, steeringand front end suspension, front andrear lights, mirrors, turn signals, wipers,muffler and exhaust pipe.

9. Always fasten safety belts and lock cardoors.

10. Drive defensively: "Recognize the haz-ard; understand the defence; act intime."

IT'S HOW YOU DO IT!(Greater New York Safety

Council)All people are creatures of

habit! Everyday we performcertain functions in exactly thesame manner without giving anythought to how we do them.Some habits become fixed. Forinstance, when you put on acoat, which arm goes into thesleeve first? It's always thesame one. If you want to real-ly recognize a habit, try switch-ing arms the next time you puton a coat. First, you will haveto struggle to get into the coaand second, it won't feel likeyour coat for the first minute orso.

Many of our driving habits arepretty well fixed, too. Fortun-ately, some are good, but wemay have bad habits that are po-tential killers. Some of themare:1. Following the vehicle aheadtoo closely.2. Pulling away from a curbwithout first checking traffic.3. Driving with one hand whileresting the other on the car top.4. Passing without checking forother vehicles coming from therear.5. Backing a vehicle withoutfirst making certain the / * isclear.6. Not using proper signals (abig cause of accidents).7. Handling books, papers, art-icles of clothing, etc. while dri-ving, thus taking your eyes andattention off the road.8. Crossing railroad tracks with-out making sure the way is clear.9. Lighting cigars, cigarettes,and pipes while driving.10. Driving while your mind ison other things.11. Hurrying too fast in order tomake up for lost time, or bec-ause you did not allow sufficienttime for your trip.

Just as a bad habit can creepup on us in such a manner thatwe are hooked without being a-ware of it, so can GOOD HAB-ITS BE FORMED BY DELIBERA-TELY DOING A THING OVERAND OVER IN THE CORRECTWAY UNTIL THAT HABIT ISSET. It's hard tp pick out andrecognize our own bad habits.But is is well worth the effort.

Last Sunday morning woke upwith a swell cold and was it coldoutside also. Thanks to B.

Resort-ed to an old stunt, took my lon-gies into bed with me so wasable to slip into somepin* warmin a.m. This Sunday a.m. iscold but that white stuff is notaround so maybe our Padre willhave a few more out to ye kirkthis a.m.

Last week end Rev. John andelfin Elsie Dangerfield had asguests a couple of people we of-ten read about but seldom see,Captain and Mrs. Donald McKaywho had sailed their ketch QuiVive from Falmouth, England

"via Panama to Saturna. Wouldsure have liked to meet peoplelike that as they represent thatspirit of venturing inherent inall of us.

Dowreen Gaines. Welcome tothe "Doting Granparents Club"Dick and distracting Dowreen!

Out from the mouth of BootCove is a new buoy. There usedto be one there so in trying tofind out what the name of the"RO CK" the new buoy marksstarted asking questions. EddieReid, Uncle Art and jovial JanRalph, no go! At one time inthe distant past the venerablePrincess Mary ran on it so therewas a buoy put there. Ever sinceDave Jack (Mike's papa) and Er-nie Atkinson have called it CPRcock, (we now have two newb(u)oys on the Island).

While restful Ruth Connor isaway having an operation in Van-couver and we hear the newsthere is good, George and dulcetDorrie Sargeant are over lookingafter the Connor Castle. Theywill be here for another week orso. It is sure grand to see themagain as they are real Saturnitesso if they don't get to see you,you know where they are, sodrop in!

In our Community Club Cons-titution there is a clause that"NO" member can receive pay-ment for work done on a com-munity project. The people whodrew up our constitution were ofan earlier age. The rule has ne-ver been broken because whensomething has to be done it isdone. We now have a Fire Halland where we could do the workit has been done"FREE". Thecement floor is now in and thedoors will be on this week.There is a moral here that youwill find in all comunities suchas ours, that is we don't needregimentation in whether we canbuild a privy or a woodshed, etcetc etc without a permit fromsome nit wit appointed by ourduly elected government. True,there should be some restrictionsabout some of the pigsties wesee around the Islands but let usHAVE some freedom from bur-eaucracy!

Only TwoDaysOf RainBY ELSIE BROWN

Well known Mayne Islanders,ohn and Nancy Rainsford haveeturned home after trip by char-sr flight to Britain.The weather was just lovely

rith only two days of rain, Nan-y says.They visited John's relatives

i the south of England and tra-elling was done by car to otherarts of the country. A visit waslade to Stratford, where theyttended a performance of Ham-2t. Stratford remains much as. was in Shakespeare's time,ley found.

Ireland was also on their itin-rary and they toured the count-/ by car. Gaelic is still spokeny the ^country folk and farmingemains the basic livelihood othe Irish people. Many of thei.omes lack the conveniences weake for granted in this part ofhe world. The countryside wasesplendent in all the autumnhades and it was an ideal time

FENDERFIREVOTE

BY MARIAN SKETCHProperty owners on North and

South Fender Islands will voteDecember 12 on a $50,000 by-law to establish and equip a vo-lunteer fire department for theislands. Residents will have achance to discuss the proposaland to ask questions at a publicmeeting of the Fender IslandChamber of Commerce on Sat-urday, December 5, at 8 p.m.,in the Port Washington Hall.

The $50,000 debt, to be rais-ed through the Capital RegionalDistrict, would be repayableover 15 years. According toJoan Purchase, Regional Boardrepresentative for the Outer Isl-ands, the proposal will mean anaddtional tax cost of aboutthree mills -- or $3 on every$1,000 of assessment.

The tax is levied on 100% ofassessed land value but only 75%of buildings or improvements.

As total assessment values forthe islands increase, Miss Pur-chase notes, the mill rate canbe expected to drop.

Chief expenditure would be$20,600 for a new fire truck witha 1,000 gallon tank. The firehall would be on a centrally-lo-cated 5.3-acre piece of proper-ty on North Pender (the formerRod and 'Gun Club property nearthe cemetery), which can bepurchased for $6, 000.

Alterations to the existingbuilding on the property are est-imated at $12,000.

Cost of well-drilling and roadwork would be about $2,500.

Other equipment to be acquir-ed: Two portable pumps, hoses,and nozzles, porto-tank, sirens,etc. A used fire engine forSouth Pender is also proposed.

Chairman of theftnder IslandFire Committee, which has beenworking on the proposal for ab-out a year, is Walter Cunliffe,who is also president of theChamber of Commerce.

Committee members are MaxAllan, Louis Nofield, Vern Rod-dick and Elmer Bowenman.

Polling stations on December12 will be at the school on NorthPender and at Bedwell HarbourResort on South Pender. Aprrov-al by 60 per cent of those votingis needed for enactment of theby-law.
