BEAN SUPPER BiG SUCCESS by Bea Hamilton

How they can cram about 300 people into a small H a l l , seat them a l l happily and in ro ta t ion , feed thern beans, buns, salads and p i e , top i f a i l off w i th hot co f fee, w i t h ­out spi l l ing the beans or a drop of cof fee, and send them a l l home aga in , contented, is one of the marvels of our rural l i f e . But that's what they did on Saturday n ight , at the Bean Supper in the Beaver Point Community Ha l l . " I t a i l comes w i th p rac t i ce " , says Mrs. A . Stevens, and the people of Beaver Point Community have had nine years of i t . So once a year at least ths people of Salt Spring Island are fu l l of beans. And they must l ike i t . Cars come f"om everywhere and line the narrow road. Andy Stevens end W . Loxton were kept busy cel l ing t ickets at the door, Mrs. Butt, Sr„ and Mrs . W . Y . Stewart were behind a loaded s ta l l , Miss Gwen Ruckle was responsible for the decorations, and the rest of the gang ai Beaver Point pi tched in and helped in every possible way. Everyone works at th is Bean feast -the men carry the heavy jugs of coffee; they keep the water supply going and the clean dishes f l y i ng ; and are the best l i t t l e washer-up-ers you ever saw, They have to be , to keep up v/ i th the fast pace of the ladies, who seize a p la te , spoon out hot beans and go into orbit w i th a plate in each hand. In no time at a l l , everyone is served,. : w i th fresh plates of beans arr iv ing l ike f l y ing saucers over people's heads w i th nary a miss.

Some 70 pies of every var iety went "down the hatch" during the evening - the ladies lost count of the number of pans of beans. Though there were a few moments of doubt towards the end , w i th the beans (Cont 'd , to page 2)

FACTS, FABLES & FOIBLES. . . . S.S. Islanders might do a lot of things d i f ferent ly , but the Firemen arc NOT going to have the F i re­men's. Ball on Easter Sunday.

Buy your t icket from any of the firemen or by sending in the handy coupon on page f ive of this issue. . . . A funny story:

A few days after the Big Bomb fe l l a man, scorched and nude, emer­ged painfu l ly from the rubble. As he surveyed the desolat ion, a woman, in cqun! stcte of nature, crawled cut from the ruins. The man said he was hungry, so she nipped beck into the rubble and returned w i th a shiny Mcintosh apple which she offered to h im. He cringed and said, " O h , no , let's not start that a l l over again."

The guardian angel of Dr. O l l i e and Ruth Stanton has been working a bit overtime this past week. A box of new, expen­sive clothes, purchased in Victor ia last week for their t r ip to England, f e l l off the top of the car. An honest lady sew the box drop off and turned ths clothes over to the Esquimalt po l i ce . , . . . , .

POWER RATES D O W N Whi le we d idn ' t have cnythmg

to do wi th i t , power rates for Salt Spring Island have sure been equal • ized wi th the rest of the province. According to the nev/spapers (B .C. Hydro at Duncan has received no ­thing o f f i c ia l ) our rates w i l l be r e ­duced substantial ly.

Breaking down the cost, as we did in our Jan . 11th issue when we pointed out the difference in the rates at Crofton and S . S . I . , we f ind that a user of but 50 kilowatts (some old age pensioners use very l i t t le power) w i l l now pay $1.84 ( including the 5% tax) compared to the old cost of $4.73; a whopp­ing big saving. A user of 100 kilowatts w i l l how pay $3,63 i n ­stead of $6 .20 , a reduction of nearly 4 1 % . 300 kilowatts w i l l now cost $8,30 v/hich compares to the old rate of $12.08, a saving of $3.78 per month.

The new rates are 3.5 cents per k i lowatt on the first 100 k i l ­owatts, 2 .2 cents on the next 200 k i lowat ts , .9 cents on the next 400 and a l l addit ional power w i l l be 1.25 cents per k i lowat t .

Premier Bennett has stated that there w i l l be no change in com­mercial rates at this t ime. It is not known i f this means we w i l l continue to pay our very high commercial rates or v/hether the whole province goes on the reg ­ular B .C .c . commercial rates.

Nothing is known about the problem of rninimums, now being p a i d b y many people in the Gul f Islands.

According to a special notice on page 8 , the Delta Princess w i l l leave Fulford at 7:50 a . m . instead of 8 a . m . and at 3:50 i n ­stead of 4 p . m . This goes into effect Apr i l 16th. You gotta get up 10 minutes ear l ier !

BEAN SUPPER, (Cont 'd , from page 1). . . . d im in ­ished a larmingly, and the people s t i l l kept a -com­ing through the doorway, there was st i l l one pan of beans left - and a few pies.

And on top of i t a l l , the t ickets given at the door are worth a prize - i f you are lucky. Mrs. Steve La Fortune Sr. was - she won a hand made wool comforter, first p r i ze , w i th t icket no . 166055. The second p r i ze , a hand made rug (Mrs. A . Ruckle's handiwork)', hasn't been' claimed so fa r . The t icket num­ber is 166222 and the lucky o w n ­er can claim the prize by produc­ing said t i c k e t . Third p r i ze , a $5 script on Turner's Store in G a n ­ges , was won by Pat Lee.

They took in $260 during the . evening, which w i l l go towards .. the Hall Fund, after some exp ­enses are pa id .

We mi ght add here that the beans are grown, d r i ed , sorted and cooked by the residents of Beaver Point. They may never glamorize the lowly bean but they make mighty nice eating for some 250 visitors once a year! And the

According to the Ganges Weather Observer, M r . H. Carl i n , we had a high temperature of 61 degrees on the 31st of March , and a low of 26 on the f i rs t , coming in l ike the proverbial l i on , and obl ig ingly going out l ike a lamb. The percl pi ration measured 4„09 inches, which included 11 inches of snow r e ­corded on the 1st, 2nd , 3rd and 10th. March of 1961 saw 6 .27 inches of perc ip i to t ion, a high read­ing of 56 degrees and a low of 30 degrees recorded.

sanctimonious cries of "horror" came from people who, in a l l probabi l i ty , were watching a "nice c iv i l i zed crime movie, efn w i l l show a half-dozen characters being shot, bedt in, k i cked , garroted, whipped or dragged by a horse.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR "Dear Sir: We have morals, r e l i ­gions, and we have Chr is t ian i ty .

The sum total of a l l morals is "The Sermon on the M o u n t . " That is sufficient for a l l of us. !t keeps us on the right road no matter hew much we wish to stray towards the wrong one.

Religion is largely a matter of education in youth , and education is d i rec ted, not by the parents, but by governmental author i t ies. These in turn are subjected to the pressures of various re l ig ious, p o l i t i c a l , and minority groups, which would direct chi ldren intoany specific way of t h ink ing . The world requires freedom of OLTA from re l i g ion .

That would leave us s t i l l to e n ­joy the good in l i fe wh ichwe ca l l Chr ist iani ty.

Religion came in an organized way., from Egypt, to Israel , to Rome, to England and thus, to a l l of "Th\e We. r ; " , Wi th i t came the vices of the Mediterranean from war and s la ­ve1"/ to our present conception of freedom, and its v ices.

Christ ianity is the antidote which God pieces at the disposal of the requir ing ind iv idua l . Jesus taught i t as a teacher, never as a master. It is for ihe inc iv idua ' a lone , not for cny organized church or cny organized state. Christ ianity stands w i th in the prerogative of God a lone , and bestows no authori ty upon man, or church, or re l i g i on .

Chi ldren should be taught to th ink and to inquire into the value of history, language and re l i g ion . To begin w i t h , out of Bibl ical Chronologies the ch i l dccn study the birth of The Tr in i ty a ; Niceae in 333 A D ,

because they have the temerity at long last, to request a small a d ­justment of remuneration in the general d i rect ion of a l i v ing wage; over on the mainland we have an equal ly deplorable spectacle of the super arrogant keeper of the publ ic purse, handing out largesse to the favoured few in the form of three or four jc icy l i v ing wages in one, for a very small amount of part-t ime work.

: LIFE HISTORY - The adults o v e r - _ winter in the soil and emerge in the spring„ They mate shortly after emergence and are capable of laying fer t i le eggs seven days later. Eggs are laid in the soil near the potato stem. The young larvae feed on the roots and developing tubers tv/o to three weeks and then pupate. - ; ' -

TYPE OF INJURY - The adults aat numerous srna 11 holes in potato leaves producing.a shot-hole e f fect . The larvae feed first on root halls and rop^s, then on the tubers.

One of the toughest things in the world to do these days is to l ive w i th in one's income.

A survey made a few years ago among people w i th incomes ranging a l l the way from $2,500 to $25,000 a year showed almost everyone wanted one thing more than anything else . . . just ten per cent more money!

"That would solve a l l my problems," everyone said.

But they're real ly wishful thinkers, says Jack West, managet of the Bank ov Montreal 's Ganges branc n . He has found there's only one real v/ay to get on top of the s i tuat ion. That's to iearn to l ive w i th in your income - and l ike i t i

M r . West doesn't just ta lk about i t , either.. He has some sound suggestions about how to do i f , too . Why not ask for a copy of the new B of M booklet "Blue-Print for Successful. Personal and Family P lann ing. " It 's frefl on request from.the Ganges B o f M ,

STOLEN FROM AN ANCIENT BARRY MATHER Col . . . . . Translated from the Japanese Highway Code governing Truck Drivers. "On Encountering Pedestrians. When a passenger on the hoof hove in sight, tootle the horn trumpet to him, melodiously at first. If he still obstacle your passage, tootle him with vigor and express by word of mouth the warning, ' H i , H i ! ' "Animals on Road. Beware of the wandering horse that he shall net take fright as you pass him. Do not ex­plode the exhaust box at him. Go soothingly by, or stop by the roadside until he pass by. Give big space to the festive dog that make sport on the highway. Avoid entanglement of dog with your spoke v/heel. "Slippery Roads. Go soothingly in the grease mud as there lurk the skid demon. Press the brake of the foot as you roll around the corners to save the co l -laps and t ie -up. "
