CANADA ^
PRIME M I N I S T E R - P R E M I E R M INISTRE
For the Bicentenary of Confederation
As we begin our second century of
Confederation, the pace of social and technoligical
change in Canada and the world in which Canada
exists has become so rapid that it is nearly
impossible to forecast with accuracy the
economic or political shape of things very far
into the future. But I believe it is safe to
predict that certain underlying moral values of
civilization will not change very much: the
principles of individual freedom and equality
and the belief in the inherent worth of humanity.
Canada, and indeed the world, will survive the
next hundred years, provided that these fundamental
human values also survive.

Sidewalk is needed to link thenew Pioneer Village in Gangeswith the commercial area of thevillage. The need has been rec-ognized by a number of localgroups as well as residents of thearea. Provincial department ofhighways has no funds for thepurpose.
Salt Spring Island Chamber ofCommerce, among others, hasproposed a work bee to providea safety pedestrian path for thebenefit, mainly, of the elderlyresidents of the Pioneer Village.

C.H.Horel, chairman of thecommittee investigating the sew-age problem, has called his com-mittee to a close. It will be dis-banded, he observed, and no fur-ther move will be made.
Speculation was rife in Gangeson Monday.
Some were speculating thatthe question of sewers will be for-gotten now that the communityhas rejected incorporation. Othersrecalled the statements of repres-entatives of the department ofhealth and are awaiting an ann-ouncement by that department.
Many in the community areconfident that the department ofhealth will require the Gulf Isl-ands School District to make ade-quate provision for the two Gangesschools and relieve the commuity of the burden. Many feel tonce the schools were cleaned upthe rest of the community wouldbe comparatively free of thestench of human ordure.
Others are speculating that thedepartment will require every of-fending property to contain itsdischarges. In summer this ispossible, observed one proponentof the sewer scheme, but in wint-er he suggested every property isliable to discharge behond its ownboundaries.
Irrespective of what the nextstep may be, the communityshowed its opposition to a localgovernment in very clear terms.
Majority of voters were opposedto the plan.

and if the l.h.o. has some valueshow much has your partner?Pract-ically nothing and you aresqueezed between the two goodhands, usually with disastrous re-sults. Once an overcall is madeyou are on the defensive and, us-ing the Rule of two and three,should not go down more than 50Cpoints if doubled. It depends onvulnerability whether it is worthit and sacrificing can be rathergrim if not understood properly.It is unwise to overcall with a 4-card suit or a broken-down 5-cardsuit, i.e. one with a tenace heading. One is not supposed to losemore than two tricks in the bidsuit (trumps). The overcall of 1no-trump is the easiest to recog-nize as it means one has an open-ing bid of 1-notrump (16 to 18points) plus a stopper in ther .h .o . ' s opening bid. Partnershould respond as though the over-caller had opened 1 no-trump.
Overcalls are made for variousreasons;(a) Should be a good lead-direct-ing bid.(b) May be an interference bidand break communication be-tween opponents.(c) Possibility of buying contractat part score or even game, ifpartner has values.

FOUR VOTES ARE NEGATIVETwo separate votes among- the islands oh Friday covered the pre-
sentation of four referenda. Three .were for school projects .and cov-ered all of the Gulf Islands. The fourth referred to incorporation
. j of the Ganges area and was the concern of a small number of peop-le.
The votes were presented on the same day. They were all def-eated. These were the directly related facts and yet it is easy tofind parallels in the presentation and in. the defeat.
Defeat of the school building referenda has been a blow to thetrustees of the district who had kept a close watch on the pulse of .popular opinion and had misjudged it. It is far from an insurmount-able defeat.
The function of a school board is to provide educational facilities,for the children of the district. The board has sought to providethis service by means of augmented structures. The people havesaid "NO". Then alternative means can and probably will be found;
The trustees must ascertain that accommodation is available forstudents in the fall. It is conceivable that a sweeping measure suchas the switching of schools, or the complete amalgamation of ele-mentary and senior schools once more migjit temporarilly meet theimmediate needs. If this would serve the purpose, then let-us seethe old school as the secondary school and the elementary schoolcarried on in the new secondary school building.
There was a call for 'manual arts facilities. The premises of the^Farmers' Institute stand vacant on the opposite side of the street.
There is no doubt at all that they could be renovated and modifiedto serve for several years as a schoolroom.
We have inadequate dormitory facilities. Then there are manyholiday resorts here. No doubt there are operators who would leasetheir premises to the school district. All these things can be arr-anged until such time as the ratepayers of the community explaintheir objection to school construction and offer an alternative solu-tion.
If the rejection was simply a protest against the trustees, or thedepartment of education or.the provincial system of taxation, orall of these things, then it was made in the wrong place and at thewrong time.
While making alternative arrangements to accommodate-districtstudents, the trustees must also-ascertain the reasons for the rejec-tion of .the votes, specifically. They must establish an immediatecommunication with the people of the school district and learnwhere the board is falling short of popular demands. There, is abroad new path of scrupulous communication open now to membersof the. board.
Inasmuch as the votes were rejected, the situation in Ganges issimilar. There, the likeness ends. The vote was presented by a
,> volunteer committee in the community. The chairman of that committee lias indicated his plans to disband the committee and to ab-andon the plan to incorporate or to provide sewers in Ganges.
In the meantime, the conditions in Ganges are not improving.The need for a sanitary sewer system was never greater.
The department of health has urged the need, but at the best thedepartment is vacillating and uncertain. From time to time the de-partment has stated certain positive needs and conditions. Unfort-unately its aggressiveness is about level with that of,a little girl whojumps from root to foot and weeps for her wants. There are fewpeople on Salt Spring Island who yet know what the department'spolicy is in matters of public filth and the majority have long as-sumed that there is no policy.
And this is where the situation stood three months ago. '.The department of health, through the Greater Victoria Metrop-
olitan Board of Health, has .asserted that sewage in public places ishazardous to health. The same department has also stated that itsregulations are difficult and perhaps impossible to enforce.
If the spreading of human ordure upon the beaches is, as the de-partment nas asserted, hazardous to health, then let us have the de-partment tell us how to eliminate it without incorporation. If thedepartment has been mouthing empty words for the last several
- years, as many are convinced, then let us forget the whole thingand leave the village area to those who have grown accustomed tothe odor and no longer notice it.
If failure of the referendum on Friday represents a vote of indiff-erence t then the result was an indictment of the thinking people ofthe community. If it arises from conviction that there is nothingfundamentally wrong in an unpleasant odor, then only the healthauthorities can dispute that conclusion.
There were four votes and all failed. The three school votes canbe temporarilly rectified. The fourth can not.
letters to the editorIT IS NOT DISINFECTANTEditor, Driftwood,
It came as a surprise that thevote for a sewer system did notreceive the entire support of thevillagers of Ganges at the pollslast Friday.
A short time ago, upon gettingout of the car in the parking lotin the village, I swear I almostthrew up then and there. Thetide was out, it was a hot day,and the stench of rotting human
excreta polluted the air, andthere is not a stench comparableto this, unless it be rotting corp-ses.
I understand the school alsodrains waste directly into the seaThis is almost beyond comprehension. Indescribably filthy is theonly applicable term to use todescribe this practice. Old-fashioned privies would be moresanitary. Although they too,cantransmit typhoid germs, through

WORD FROM WOODY
Editor, Driftwood,Just today, I received the not-
ice of the annual meeting ofSalt Spring Recreation Holdings,Ltd.
And, I must say, the specialresolution looks to me as if agroup wants to take away myhard-earned share if I do notjoin the golf club--and if I dojoin.
If my first impression is correctthen I must yell "foul".
Since I am now one of those"off islanders" , who hopes to re-tire to Salt Spring (sooner or lat-er) and become a member of thegolf club, I must hang onto myshare so that I can become amember, when I do come toSalt Spring.
I think such a resolution isvery unfair to persons such as my-self and my wife. It seems theonly solution--if the resolutionis adopted--is for me to join thegolf club as an absentee member.As things now stand, I'd havelittle chance to use the facilities
of the golf course, for at leasttwo more years.
Secondly, to "surrender" ashare as the initiation fee for amembership is a slap at all thosewho bought shares in those earlydark days, when Mac Mouat,Chuck Horel and others (and my-self, if I may be so bold) soldthe whole idea to many persons--those with much money and thosewith little money.
Thirdly, I presume, a smallshare holder, such as myself,with only one share would nolonger have any stake in theHoldings company, once theshare is surrendered. However,someone who has purchased sev-eral shares, would still keep hisstake in the Holdings company, .having only to surrender oneshare for membership.
It all seems so highly unfair,,and my wife and I want our two -
'tiny votes to shout, "No! No!"to the special resolution.
If the time ever comes that Iam forced to surrender my share-as a club member or not--some-one is going to have to removeit from its frame after tearing it
BOATS FOUND
Two boats have been found inlocal waters.
10-foot sailboat was found nearFulford and an eight-foot ply-wood dinghy was taken from theStrait of Georgia by Ed. Lee ofGaliano.
Either boat may be claimedfrom the RCMP at Ganges.
NO ANSWEREditor, Driftwood^
It appears from the result oflast Friday's poll that the corpor-ate answer to our local problemsis unlikely for some years tocome.
As the Committee have carriedout their instructions from vari-ous public meetings, as far as ispossible, it only remains for thepledges to be called to pay theEngineer for the Sewerage study,and the Committee can disband.
I would like to personallythank every member of the com-mittee and each of those whoassisted us in this work for thecommunity; sooner or later ae-tion will have to be taken on allthe problems of the area, and wecan only hope the delay will notprove too costly,
I would also like to expressthe appreciation of the Commi-ttee for the cooperation of thevarious government departmentsand the time, in-many cases, thepersonal time,' of the personnelfrom the departments.-C.R. Horel,Ganges, B.C.June 19, 1967.
INTER-FAITH SERVICEEditor, Driftwood,
With the Centennial (SaturdayJuly 1) fast.approaching, I hopethere'll be some sort of religiousobservance in addition to thesecular celebrations.
Religion has been a significantmotivating force in the openingup and developing of Canada,and religion is an influential pre-sence throughout our culture to-day.
One of the brightest "projects"in the entire range of CanadianCentennial celebrations was thecreation of the Canadian Inter-faith conference, including some37 of the major religions of Can-ada.
•Aside from the beautiful "An-thology of Prayer" which the Conference has published and mailedto every congregation across Can-ada, the Conference has alsosent a brochure outlining someof the interfaith activities poss-ible for everyone to take part in.
"For- instance," says one of thebooklets in the brochure, called'Community Demonstrations', ."consider an 'interfaith happen-ing' hosted by an outstandingM.C., enriched with choral pre-sentations, enlivened by lighterlooks at the Canadian scene (in-cluding the religious life of ourcountry) and illumined with sim-ple, brief vignettes about religi-on in Canadian life."
Wouldn't it be terrific if wecould stage something like this--an effort which would include allreligions on these Islands? A dayindeed to remember! !

You can blame "Pop" Lloyd-Walters for this scene for it wouldnever have materialized if hehadn't suggested the making, ofluminous arm bands for elderlypeople.
Mrs. Elsie Thacker and Mrs.B.L.Krebs took him up on this .and experimented with the sugg-estion and, presto- it worked!They made white bands andsewed the strip pf red luminoustape around, put on clips and lo,
. you have an adjustable arm bandto fit any size -arm,; from the .skinny to the muscular.
Now these ladies sell the armbands for $.75 each, which isn'tbad considering such a decora-tion might save a life. . •
" Pop" Lloyd-Walters had beenworried about elderly people whcwander along the dark highwaysand sometimes wander too nearthe traffic lanes:(there has al-ready been one accident not solong ago through this, rememb-er?; ",
And " Pop" believes in prev-ention, being an' ex-RCMP off-icer (he was in the Royal North'West Mounted, Police, way'back,so knows about life and deathand accidents on the highways.)So these enterprising membersof the Old Age Pensioners groupjust took "Pop's" advice andwent ahead to see What theycould manufacture;,they cameup with a neat white band-cir- .cled by red glow-in-the-darkstuff that I told you about, andif those who walk in the dark • .would wear one of these, walkon the right side of the road,(which is die LEFT side; facingtraffic, don't forget. Sounds .Irish, but there you are). It .would help car drivers and keepone from decorating the high-way maybe.
Mrs. Krebs and Mrs.Thacker, •are saving every penny theymake on the sales of these to.help out expenses on their tripto Williams Lake on June 19th.They are going with Mrs. EdithBarber, and are delegates from ,the O.A.P.O. to the conventionbeing held there.
Credit goes to these ladies fortheir enthusiastic little ventureto a worthy cause, for whatcould be more worthy than tocontribute to the possible saving
We all admired her spirit ofindependence and bright outlookon life, which she enjoyed allthe years she was on the Island,sixty years, and a little over.• Some still remember when she
used to play at dances in the olddays; she played piano, with LearKing on the violin and Mrs. R.Maxwell tinkling a mandolin.Others, too, played-with her offand on.
You miss a person like thatwhen she goes;, her funeral was aquiet ceremony at Royal Oak,just as she wished it to be, andthough we couldn't be there, wesent our thoughts. One can rem-ember so many nice things aboutMrs. Ruckler--her lovely ga'rdenher nice rugs that she made ent-irely by hand, hundreds of them,and gave many away -to charityand-to friends.
The W.I.have reason to rem-ember her and her annual dona-tions to their charity funds.
We remember the days whenwe visited her home and she andher husband, Alfred, played mus-ic. Alfred,Ruckle played the vi-olins that he had made himself,and with Mrs, Ruckle on the pia-no, they made lovely music to-gether. They were an ideal couple, and had a happy home.
They fitted so well into thecommunity. Alfred came to theisland in 1870 o f so, Mrs ..Rucklein 1906. Yes people like thatwill not only be missed but theywill be remembered for many •years.
of a life? For that could wellbe.
To date, this seems to be the'only place where these armband:are manufactured, another feather in the Old Age Pensionersmembers' caps.
It is hoped that all elderlyfolks who like to ramble out onthe highway or down the smaller
.by-ways, will invest in one ofthese. Children too, who areoften out On the roads, couldbe a lot safer if they wore aluminous arm band. All bandsare the same price, 75#.
.Best wishes to these enterpris-ing senior citizens and a happyjourney to Williams Lake.(P.S. Don't forget to wear oneof the arm bands, ladies, wewant you to come home in onepiece.)
Friday was a mixed up day,wasn't it? Success for the Pion-eer Village opening, the attract-ive Kuper Island Indian Children^Fife and Drum band and the Lionsbanquet and installation cerem-ony at the Fulford Hall in theevening.
Our hats off to the Lions Club-when they do something, they do

OLD AGE SECURITYAND GUARANTEEDINCOME IS HERECanadians celebrating their
sixty-eighth birthday during cen-tennial year should make appli-cation to receive their old agesecurity pension at least sixmonths in advance of their birth-day.
Payment is not automatic.Application must first be made.Forms are available from postoffices or by writing to the OldAge Security office in provincialcapitals.
POSTAL CHANGESARE CONSIDERED BYPOSTMASTER MEETINGIN VANCOUVERMrs. M. Kline attended the
annual conference of the B.C.and Yukon Branch of the Cana-dian Postmaster's Association,which was held at the Blue BoyMotor Hotel in Vancouver, June5 to 7.
There were 45 postmastersthere.
Mrs. Piket, of Queen Charl-otte City, received the awardfor having travelled the greatestdistance to attend the confer-ence. John LeBoldus, of Odessa,Sask., national president, was'also in attendance.
Fred Pageau of Ottawa, whocame in place of Deputy Post-Master General, W. H. Wilson,proved a versatile and well-in-formed speaker.
Gulf Islands area was well-represented with Steve Riddell,of Galiano, giving his typicallyfine help in committee work,not to mention participation insing-songs during evening enter-tainment, thougn it was FredPageau who was practicallyvoiceless before proceedingswound up!
This conference was a veryimportant one. Many changesare under way both in handlingof mails and in Civil Service re-gulations. The computer ageis changing Post Office proced-ures. For instance there is asuggestion that envelopes bemade in certain standard sizesonly, so that they are more suit-able for machine sorting, in factseveral European countries havealready adopted this system.
Rural directories no longerhave to be entirely reprintedeach year, corrections and addi-tions are simply fed into a com-puter, thus effecting a reductionin both time and money.
There is greater emphasis oncommunication, both within thePost Office personnel group, andbetween the department and thepublic.
In USA councils of Post Officeofficials and mailers are beingsetup. During the past year,courses for various groups of postmasters have been held in differ-nt centres throughout Canada;
supervisors are available to attend•egional meetings.
Structure within the federalgovernment service has under-gone radical change with aboli-tion of the Civil Service Comm-ission, and passing of two newpieces of legislation, the PublicService Commission Act and thePublic Service Staff RelationsAct.
These bring collective barg-aining to all groups, and permiteach group to select the bargain-ing agent of its choice.
Recommendations of the Mon-petit Report, following the Post-al Workers' strike in 1965, havealso effected many changes inconditions within the departmentThe winds of change are blowinghere and those postmasters whowere fortunate in being able toattend the conference went homewith a new perspective and plea-sant memories of meeting bothnew ani old friends from manyparts of the province.

The Rt. Rev. Michael Cole-man, of the Anglican Church,the only resident minister, workedwhole-heartedly looking afterthe innumerable arrangementsinvolved in such a service.
Along with a committee fromthe United Church, and in co-operation with the Rev.E.W.MacQuarrie of Ganges, a fitting ser-vice was worked out.
A Litany of Thanksgiving wasled by J.H.Teece, an Elder ofthe United Church; while theLesson was read by a Warden ofthe Anglican Church, L. J. Arm-strong.
Dr. Coleman conducted theservice, and Mr. MacQuarriepreached.
Music was provided by John
Copley at the organ from the Un-ited Church, perched on theback of a truck in a. shady spot.
The offerings were designatedfor Fender Island Centennial pro-jects.

Will your childever catch the Teacher's eye?
The B.C. Teachers' Federationis conducting a province-widecampaign to reduce the size ofclasses in B.C. schools in orderbetter to educate YOUR children.
This year, in British Columbiathere are 411 elementary classeswith 40 or more pupils and 3080elementary classes with 35 ormore pupils.
For boys and girls to receive themaximum benefit from our revisededucational system their classesshould not be larger than 25 to 30pupils.
Here is what Sir Ronald Gould,president of the World Confedera-tion of Organizations of the Tea-ching Profession says about largeclasses:
"Put a teacher in front of a biggroup of children and the teachercan instruct or drill, he cannoteducate. He cannot treat eachchild as an individual. Big class-es mean bad methods. Big classeslimit freedom to experiment. Bigclasses result in bad education."

CentennialNews
As we enter the last lap beforethe official opening of the Cent-ennial Park on July 8, the Cent-ennial Committee wishes to thankthose once again who have contribated so generously to the projectand who have indeed, made itsachievement possible. An ex-cerpt from one of the many in-teresting letters received (withdonation) seems not only a time-ly comment on the present daybut a fitting tribute to the intrep-id spirit of the pioneers whohelped to make this Island the at-tractive place it is.
"Dear Mrs. James Ithink our family will all be send-ing something and I would liketo make a suggestion - I am thin-king of our revered old teacher,Mr-. Cooke, and wondering ifthere is going to be a memorialfor-hiirK He had many friends
•<«^ no relatives. I am sure theremust be people on the Island whocan remember him and realizewhat a. privilege it was to have aGraduate of Dublin and Cam-bridge University for our teacher.He was a marvellous man. Hewent to no end of extra troublefor the pupils. Out of his meag-re salary (1 think it was.$50 amonth) he always managed tobuy prizes and candies for OurXmas party. I remember himwith the greatest affection. Iwould like to suggest that mydonation would go towardhis memory. Yours sincerely, etc1.
It is hoped that with tryingweather conditions so far exper-ienced the trees and shrubs in thePark will be blessed with thesame ability to survive as thatpossessed by the people in whosehonour they were planted.
Typographical error in lastweek's Driftwood misspelled Dr.Beech's name. Majority of read-ers who were acquainted with theearly island medical man recog-nized his name.
Lt. Col. Arthur Baring Snowcame to Salt Spring Island in1932. Son of Gen. and Mrs.Thomas of Newton Vallance,Hampshire, England. Born inCawnpore, India. Served 18years in South Africa, in theBechuanaland campaign in 1891,the Matabelle War of 1893, theBoer War and the First World War.He died in 1949 and is buried inthe Anglican Church cemetery.
Alfred Richard Price came toSalt Spring Island around 1932.His wife, Florence, was Col.Snow's sister.
There were two island familiesof the name of Price bearing thesame initials.
WARNING SOUGHTOF EXCHANGERATE OFFERED
Ganges merchants and businessmen have been urged to post anotice in their places of businessregarding the premium on UnitedStates currency.
Although the majority of tradesmen acknowledge a premium onAmerican money, not all do so.If the merchant posts a notice inhis store, the American patroncan see at a glance that this isthe policy, suggests Salt Spring^tepd Chamber of Commerce,^^here is no compulsion on amerchant to recognize the prem-ium or even to accept foreigncurrency. The Chamber of Com-merce feels that good public re-lations will demand acceptanceof United States currency at thepremium rate.
