by Bea Hamiltonto

Mrs. Alfred (Helen) Ruckle, age 93

Passing thoughts, woven with the threads of Time,In patterns fall like shadows on a lawn;As memory grasps a fleeting glimpse and thenWith gentle, loving touch, is quickly gone.

Oh, gracious lady, who learn'd from life that ArtCreated thus by useful hands, will liveIn mem'ry and in fact, expressed by you,To prove the joy of life you freely give.

Dear gentle friend, as time goes passing by,So much has been in life that was to be;And in your Island home such treasures lieMade from the hands that wove your destiny.

Wilsonperformed the ceremonyand it is quite somethingbecause it was Me.Wilson who organizedthe building. AlfredRaines, a CPR bridgebuilder by trade, didthe construction, andhelpers were Dick andJim Maxwell, brothersof Dave Maxwell, alsoAlec or Jim Wilson,(maybe both) who livedwhere the Misses Gladysand Cree Shaw and Bill,live now.

I867U 1967 by JOHN W. FISHEDCENTENNIAL COMMISSIONER

Report No. 6Before the end of this year a

iulljength Canadian feature filmUll 1x! released to Great Britain,the United States and other coun-tries It is certain to encouragepeople to visit our country duringthe 1967 Centennial.

The film, called HelicopterCanada, an hour-long Panavistaproduction for wide screens, willbe shown in our own cinemas dur-ing 1967.

Helicopter Canada is the firstfull length moving picture featureto be made entirely from a heli-copter-in-flight anywhere in theworld. It is an exciting coast-to-coast color sweep of Canada —its geography, its wildlife, its peopleand ways of life: It is being pro-duced by the National Film Boardof Canada for and with the aidof the Centennial Commission.Peter Jones is the producer andGeorge Salverson is the scriptwriter. The director-cameramanii Eugene "Jeep" Boyko of theNational Film Board staff whohad some interesting experiencesfilming this project across Can-ada from the open door of ahelicopter.

Boyko was born in Saskatoon,has been a dishwasher, shipyardworker, private chauffeur in vari-oiu parts of the country and he

was a country-and-western singerin Saskatoon in 1937 when a broad-caster named Jack Wells taggedhim yvith his nickname, Jeep, aftera comic-strip creature.

In the 40's Boyko was a taxidriver in Vancouver when a pas-senger went on vacation leavingher camera in the cab. He usedit to shoot a trafifc accident andsold the pictures to a local paperfor $5. This sent him into photog-raphy and he wound up at the Na-tional Film Board in 1951. Boyko'shome, when he gets there, is inLorraine, Quebec; he has a wife,one daughter, 10, and one son, 3.

By means of Jeep Boyko'scamera, background narration, dia-logue and sound effects, the viewerin the cinema audience will bemaking a trip across the country,discovering Canada as though hewere in that helicopter. The 'copter,during shooting, was able to getas close to the face of anything asits blades permitted and hoveredfrom six to 600 feet.

Boyko spent more than a yearon the filming — a good deal ofthe time 500 feet up in the air,crash helmet on head, hanging outthe side of a French-built turbinehelicopter (the Alouette'). In oneyear he shot 96,000 feet of filmand travelled from Newfoundlandto Victoria. An anti-vibrationmount for the camera was a

French-made unit, first used inthe making of the French films"The Red Balloon" and "Voyagein a Balloon". It permits a picturewhile hovering vibration is elimi-nated in this clever device.

In Toronto Boyko hovered afew feet above Nathan PhillipsSquare, for a dramatic view of thenew clam-shell city hall. Hecaught the Old Fort Henry Guard,at Kingston, doing its drill.

The helicopter camera shot theconvoluted tubing and towers of avast oil refinery complex at Ed-monton, paddle wheelers, risingnew buildings in western cities, thelush North Saskatchewan RiverValley; in Montreal the heli-copter made forays around thenew skyscrapers; in Saskatchewanit caught a fast-moving freighttrain travelling through a Prairietown, a truck leaving a high dust

' plume behind it, down a road toa lone elevator standing starkagainst the prairie horizon.

In Newfoundland the cameramade contact with a lighthousekeeper and a ship's skipper seekingguidance into the harbor thussymbolizing the entry to Canadathrough her most eastern gateway.

The film's viewers will havethe sensation of being virtually onthe surface of the gorge beneathtiie Honeymoon Bridge at NiagaraFalls, and being on a slow tripstraight up the faOe of the bridalveil falls almost at arms length.They will "ride the back" of adeer in flight, peek into the win-dows of Montreal skyscrapers andexperience the sight and sound ofstenographers at their work andstockbrokers in action. They willview skiers and mountain climbers,wheat farmers, miners and pros-pectors, lumbermen, asembly-lineproductions, football clubs, outdooractivities of various ethnic groupsand of the first Canadians — theIndians.

Don't miss Helicopter Canadawhen it comes to your area in1967. _

Those of us whosememory reaches back topre-war days may look withnostalgia and a bit ofenvy at young Gary Wright-son and his wife Carrol wholeft Salt Spring April 26thfor Montreal in a vintage1939 model Plymouth con-vertible, with rumbleseat.

Gary and Carrol spenttheir leave with Bob andJean^Wrightson, Fulford,prior to returning to the

RCAF Station.Gary picked the car upin Vancouver and he andhis Dad worked on it fora week to make it readyfor the 3000 mile trip.They used spare partsfrom another car. "Al Ithe original equipmentcame with the car, " saysGary, "including themakers hand-book and thevacuum operated conver-tible top which still works.

Gary plans to have thecar fully re-conditionedvhen he gets to Montreal.

CONVENTION!

territories of the world.The Baha'i Faith was

founded one hundred yearsago by a Persian noblemanBaha'u'llah whom Baha'isthe world over believe to bethe bearer of a divine revel-ation. His teachings includethe oneness of religion, theestablishment of a worldgovernment, the independentinvestigation of truth and theintegration of races. Thefaith was brought to Canadain 1902 by Mr. and Mrs.

Maxwell ofMr. Maxwell

was a prominent architect,the designer of such Can-adian landmarks as the Sask-atchewan Parliament build-ing and the Chateau Front-enac in Quebec City,

On bunday, the closingday of the convention, theBennetts were astonsihedto see the Woody Fishersand the Jack Wests in thelobby of the Chateau Laurier,The Fishers and Wests,-whilevisiting Ottawa, saw the

Baha'i banner over the en-trance of the hotel; Woody'wondered if the Bennettsmight by chance be there. "

An Indian Baha'i del-egate, upon seeing Woody's"Oklahoma tan" thoughthe too was a delegate andgreeted him with suchwarmth as only his peoplecan give. The Fishersand Wests asked the Bennettto pass on their warm greet-ings to their many friendsqnSalt Spring.

Friends of ArchdeaconR.B. Horsefield are happyto have him back incharge after a recent \illness. Last Sunday Col. ,D. Crofton, Mr. E.Faure, Mr. J. Bate, andMr. D. Seward took theservices in the AnglicanChurches. Please noteMay 8th services willbe held in St. George'sand St. Mary's Churchesonly.
