UNITED CHURCH DIDNOT FORGET MINISTERAT ANNUAL PICNIC

When the congregation ofGanges United Church went to apicnic on Sunday, they forgotnothing.... not even the minist-er •>

Following the picnic and ser-vice the congregation made apresentation to Rev. E.W. Mac-Quarrie who is leaving nextweek for Victoria.

Les Ramsey, as spokesmanfor the congregation, made thepresentation of a purse.

Mrs. MacQuairie was not for-gotten either.

Mrs. John Reid, for the Unit-ed Church Women, presentedthe minister's wife with a lifemembership in the women'sgroup.

Picnic and open-air service,which preceded the farewellgifts, were all at the St. MaryLake Resort, home of Prof, andMrs. A.G. Larson.

Traveller who spent a day rec-ently in touring the island isdelighted with the trip and withthe amenities and with people.

Fresh muffins or butterhornswould enhance the service localrestaurants and cafes, suggestedthe writer.

" Perhaps the bakery could in-vent a special Salt Spring turn-over." she added.

During the summer there are

bus loads of tourists on the islandthe letter also explained. Manyof the tourists are old peoplbut they are just as fond ofand food as younger visitors,continued the writer.

The writer visited Fulford butdid not take a close look around.

What happened to the littlegrocery store at Fulford?" sheasked.

GANGESPHARMACY

ART WHAT MAKES IT TICK?

What makes artists tick?When a representative coll-

ection of contemporary workswere brought to Salt Spring Is-tand on Saturday enthusiasm wasstrictly limited.

Commentator E.T. Lindbergexplained that many of the ex-hibits were those of his students.Very few were representational.

Majority of visitors were un-impressed.

Mr. Lindberg explained thatcontemporary art requires sometuition and that it is easy to app-reciate after careful examinat-ion in the light of an explanat-ion of what is sought.

"Kids' paintings up in the highschool are better," commenteda visitor.

Mr. Lindberg suggested thatmany visitors to a gallery willcomment that his child could dobetter, but few come forwardwith their children's work toprove the point.

Majority of the exhibits dealtwith form and color and wereleft to the imagination of the ob-server.

Some were more readily rec-ognizable .

The Government St. corner,with a derelict store and a des-pondent child, was excellent.Edith Jones, of Sidney, was in-cluded among the showings andher rustic scene stood out amongthe less representational.

A lino cut of a "B.C. welder"was also striking.

The artist told many visitorsthat the display has been takento other communities and thatthe reactions have varied. Even

a display which arouses critic-ism is worth offering Mr. Lind-berg suggested, for the fact thatit encourages people to thinkabout art.

Majority of spectators agreedthat the general standard ofpainting seen at the recent IODEArt and Hobby Show was morereadily recognizable and morereadily pleasing to the untrainedeye.

Contemporary art is a reflect-ion of contemporary man, sugg-ested Mr. Lindberg.

Many visitors would hope heis wrong.

Display was brought to MahonHall on Saturday by Gulf IslandsCommunity Arts Council.

DEDICATION SERVICEFOR NEW CHAPEL

The work of the CommunityGospel Chapel was started sevenyears ago by the Rev. Art Shep-herd, who was sent here by theEvangelical Tabernacle, of Van-couver. Mr. Shepherd was ass-isted by Ken Stevenson. Meet-ings began in the Rex theatre.Sunday School was started with19 pupils and four teachers

In September of 1961, LindaNagel and Joyce Tauber came tocarry on the work. Meetingswere held in the board room ofthe Mahon Hall. Linda is nowserving as a missionary at theIvory Coast, in Africa. Joyce

.has been working as a secretary*in various churches, and assist-ing at summer camps.

In May of 1962 property wasacquired, and in July Mr. andMrs. Frank Miller arrived totake over the work. Mr. Millertook an active part in the build-ing of the church, with SundaySchool and services commenc-ing in the fall.

The chapel was dedicated onNovember 18 of that year, withBrother Pritchard, minister ofthe Evangelical Tabernacle,conducting the service.

The first visiting missionary,Jock Wallace, who was on fur-lough from Japan, held servicesin May, 1963. A Pot Luck supp-er was held in his honour.

In 1963, the congregation wasfortunate in having for the next

DriverPROTESTS ARREST

Fender Island driver was arr-ested for a driving offence, hereports, and he is indignant overthe incident.

Paul Estell, of Pender Island,was stopped near Kamloops forspeeding and he was given aticket. He explained to the pol-ice officer at Kamloops that itwould be impractical to attendcourt in Kamloops and askedthat the case be transferred toSidney.

Three months later was arrest-ed at his home and imprisoned.-in Ganges.

The police are always askingfor better relations with the pub-lic, comments Mr. Estell. Hisexperience is unlikely to encour-age greater co-operation, heasserts.

Mr. Estell has protested thetreatment to the Attorney-Gen-eral. He has also presented acopy of his protest to the leaderof the opposition, Mr. Strachanand to DRIFTWOOD.

Having been issued with aticket, he forgot it after puttingit in the glove compartment,said Mr. Estell.

On May 29, three months af-ter the offence, police officerscame to Pender, arrested Mmand took him to Ganges, wherehe was incarcerated in a cell at3:30 pm. He was now underguard.

Supper was brought to him,but he was given no utensils orimplements with which to eat it,reports the driver. Breakfast foll-pjyed a night in the cells. Thisjr-3al was "two slimy eggs on apiece of toast with a spoonful ofpotatoes."

The following day he was re-leased during the afternoon, 24hours after his arrest, upon pay-ment of a $25 fine.

He protests that shortly afterMs arrival at Ganges he wasdenied the privilege of payingthe fine and that his request forbail was also denied.

" I realize that the policemust follow rules and regulationsMr. Estell observed in his letterto the Attorney-General, "Butsurely these rules and regulat-ions should be administered withcommon sense."

pastor, Hazel Grace McLean,now Mrs. Don Thompson. MissMcLean, a returned missionaryfrom the Ivory Coast won thehearts of all who knew her. Shewas known as the girl with thefriendly smile. Mr. and Mrs.Don Thompson are working inan Indian settlement at Whelan,Saskatchewan.

While waiting to return tothe field in South India, MissMargaret Baker and Miss JuneWard were in charge for twomonths in the fall of 1964. Oneof their many accomplishmentswas bringing over by trailer, thesix heavy pews now in the Sun-day School building.

Their practical and spiritualgifts were a great help in theshort time they were on SaltSpring Island.

Ron and Joyce Vieselmeyercame in November to this, theiifirst field and settled in atrailer in the church groundswhere they lived for two years,and where their first son, Montywas born. Joyce worked in theSunday School as a teacher.Her love for music as pianistand teacher was a wonderfulhelp.

A Women's Missionary Groupis active in the church and var-ious parcels are sent, and finan-cial help given to several ofthe workers who have servedhere during their furloughs.From the beginning Mrs. FayEmpey and Mrs. Walt Twa havediligently worked towards theChristian growth of their Chapel

Pastor M. V. G. and Mrs. Gitpin arrived January 8, 1967 andare carrying on the work at thepresent time.

The Sunday School hasgrown to a large departmentwith approximately 60 pupilsand six teachers. Mrs. GordonScarff is superintendent. Pupilsare brought from all parts ofthe Island by the teachers. Mr.Gilpin is in charge of an adultclass.

A tribute is due the Evangel-ical Tabernacle in Vancouver,who have guided artd helpedthrough the seven years ofgrowth, and they continue to bedeeply concerned in all under-takings.

On March 4th of this year,the new church building wasstarted, under the direction ofPastor Gilpin. The work waslargely completed by volunt-eers. Now the building is readyto be dedicated to the work ofGod in the community.

The dedication service willt>e held in the new Chapel onSunday, June 30, at 2 p.m.

SLOW DOWN FAST!Slow down and live !When Salt Spring Island Chamber of Commerce re-

cently criticized the imposition of a universal 30 mphspeed limit on the Island the comment could scarcelyhave come at a less opportune time.

Coincidentally with the announcement that speedswere to be restricted came the report of a biggest se-quence of accidents and collisions for many months.

There are many roads where the restriction is log-ical. If residents feel that certain roads should be re-stricted to 40 mph or 50mph, then these changes canbe made.

Sweeping condemnation of the limit is not justi-fied. Let's give it a try, first. Or perhaps we couldoffer the superintendent of motor vehicles a newtwist:

Speed it up and live it up!

BETTER WE STAY AWAY?The Canadian voter must, surely, be one of the

most uninformed anywhere in the world.When the federal election campaign started,

there were few rural voters who had any idea ofwhere they would be required to attend to cast aballot.

There was no information offered to the voter.Each voter was required to find out for himself whe-ther or not he was listed. In many instances, thevoter was given no intimation of where he mightfind information on the subject.

Preparation for voting is vitally concerned withprinting large quantities of forms. The administra-tion of elections is concerned with an assurancethat all is proper and within the law. The voterhimself is a pawn in the great game of preparing foran election.

The voter is wooed by the candidates and ig-nored by the government department.

Every voter is aware of the fact that the votingmachine is a cumbersome, aged, rusting antiquity.Every voter is aware that it is a privilege to vote.Every voter is aware that the election machinery isas old as the privilege. And there it stops. Few vo-^ers are properly informed, because the government

!icy is to tell him only that much which has to be;d, within the confines of the election legislation.The whole creaking machinery needs an over-

haul. The whole preparation for elections should becarried out with the voter in mind. Many voterslearned where to vote only by courtesy of the poli-tical parties contesting the election. Candidatessend out cards telling voters where to go to cast aballot. It is high time the government departmentresponsible for the elections instituted a better me-thod of communication.

Canadian elections are administered as if it wereintended to discourage the voter from going to thepolls.

Imposing exterior of Galleon Manor, home of display of antiques and curios.

Thursday, June 27, 1968 Gulf Islands DRIFTWOOD Page Five

All that is lacking at GalleonManor is a ghost.

The new entry into the touristattractions of Salt Spring Islandis an Elizabethan Manor in abeautiful setting.

Originally a farm house andcountry home, Galleon Manor isthe showplace of its owner K.R.Luton. And if Mr. Luton is proudof his masterpiece, he has everyreason to be.

Mr. Luton is a collector. Hesees an aged print or a piece offurniture or almost any authen-tic, pleasing link with the pastand he wants it. He has collect-ed relics of ancient races, furn-iture from past centuries andpaintings from old masters. Hecollected them because he likesthem.

Galleon Manor is the show,.pla'ce of his collection.

Mrs. Luton is fired with thesame sense of dedication to thepast. She explains the meaningof the exhibits and introducesthe visitor to the age which pro-duced the pieces.

The only displeasing part ofthe exhibition is the sense ofcomplete ignorance which theuninformed visitor gains. TheLutons have every age and everyexhibit completely identified.The circumstances of its originare all docketed in their minds.The visitor is left to ask ques-tions which are old hat to theguide.

Farmers by choice, the Lutonfamily can lay claim to manydistinctions. Collectors are notalways competent carpenters.The whole building is a proof oftheir ability.

The visitor enters by the simp-le door into a hall of lightedcabinets. Each bay is devoted tosome particular style. There arethe Mayan masks and statuaryfrom the oldest civilization inNorth America next to a collect-ion of African curios. The de-tailed skill of the Mexican relicsshow the more primitive work of)the later Africans. The orientaldisplays of bronze return to thehighly skilled workmanship,while other lands and other eras;are also shown in the hallway.

The placing of various paint-ings against the displays contrib-utes to both.

This large hall of exhibitswas once the basement. Thespace left to browsing visitorsonce was occupied by a greatwood-burning furnace with armsof ducts running in every direct-ion.

The finish of the panellingand cabinetry is a tribute to theskill of the owner.

Mrs. Luton was not ready toenter into an estimate of value,Collector's items are valuableif others want them, she obser-ved. She explained that manyare valuable, but that theirvalue is not really proportionateto their interest.

stocks carrying British mademechanisms. They contrastsharply with the knives and krisof the other civilizations.

Striking feature of the displayis the magnificent wooden stair-case rising to the panelled gall-ery. The lower hall, with itsgrey concrete floor and illumin-ated bays offers no specific sugg-estion of character. Once thevisitor reaches the staircase, hecannot see anything but TudorEngland.

was finally dissipated or destroy-ed, but a number of items sur-vived. Mr. Luton commentedthat he found this particularpainting in Seattle.

The Luton family havebrought together a collection ot

iflanor:

These Mayan carvings are among the oldest relics of a longgone civilization in North America. They are from Mexico.

The display is thoroughly inkeeping.

A suit of armour standsagainst a stained glass windowwhile a bible chest is securelylocked alongside.

A detailed list of exhibits isof no significance here. Thecandle cupboard, built around agrandfather clock, is striking asis the Stuart chest with its high-ly ornamented, silvered stand.The chest came from China andthe base from England. It is thedelicate, artistry of the eastrising above the gingerbread ofCharles' England.

Two notable features are theMayan heart bowl, into whichthe still beating heart of the sac-rificial human victim was tossedand the table of Oliver Crom-well from which it is believedthat Charles' death sentence wassent.

An example of the scrupulouscare with which the Luton familjhave docketed their collectioncame when this reporter comm-ented on the painting of Salomeand John the Baptist. Salomelooks like a well-to-do- Frenchpeasant girl about to go to Com-munion. Her only claim to awild, dancing, abandoned life isthe platter she sadly displays.On the tray is the head of John.

Mrs. Luton was not unhappywith such criticism of the art ofthe period. She knows every crit-icism already.

She brought out an antiquariarmagazine. Salome is attributedto Simon Vouet, but is probablyItalian, she explained. It comesfrom the collection of ThomasJefferson, who was not only apioneer of the United States buta pioneer of art collecting in theUnited States. His collection

art and curios, placed them in adelightful setting and offered toshare their enjoyment witii thepublic.

Most people will enjoy them. Is she French or is she Italian? The question may never be answered.The painting was once the property of Thomas Jefferson,

LEGIONZONECOMES

BY LEGIONNAIREOn Saturday, June 15, Gulf Is-

lands Branch of the Royal Canad-ian Legion played host to theSouth Vancouver Island ZoneCouncil.

The Zone Council was led byComrade Tom Clements, ZoneCommander, and the seniorBranch officer was ComradeHugh Macfarlane, first vice-president, in the absence of Pres-ident, Charlei Barron, who hadbeen called unexpectedly to Reg-ina. Comrades John Bought andSteve Maskow formed the colourparty, and at the head table, inaddition to the Zone Commandwere Comrades Bill Stewart(Sec-retary), Maurice Smith (Treas-urer), Hugh Macfarlane andbranch 84 secretary.

The opening part of the cere-mony and the Silence period forfallen and departed comradeswas conducted by the Rev. JohnDangerfield, MBE, branch chap-lain.

The business part of the meet-ing was conducted by the ZonePresident, and took up a largenumber of matters of interest tomembers of the Legion.

We had expected to have areasonably full account of theDominion Convention, but, as ithad been impossible to print anaccount of the various discuss-ions in time, this was left overuntil our next regular branchmeeting, which will be held atSaturna on July 31st. At thatmeeting the Zone Commanderand Secretary intend to be pre-sent, and they will take thismatter up then. Already, theagenda for that meeting is build-ing up, so itshouldbe quite afull and important event, andwe look forward to seeing thebulk of our members turn out.

We regret the fact that FenderIsland was unable to send a cont-ingent over, but we presumethat the cause of the absence wasthat very usual one of islandtranches, the lack of boat trans-port.

Once again our thanks go tothe ladies of Saturna for theirvery gallant effort in the comm-issary department. We shouldreally enlist them in the RCASC,and then no troops would go without rations. We must againthank Mrs. Warlow as the Branchmusician, and Comrade BennieBegon for showing our visitorsover the Light Aggregate Plant.

GARDEN IS ENJOYEDBY GARDENER

What a delight to visit theJames garden, as we did lastWednesday evening!

Here one sees a vast array offlowers, beautifully arranged asto colour and design in a well-laid out garden. As we walk upthe lane, we are astounded bythe fragrance and vitality ofthe sweet pea blossoms - whileours are just struggling out ofthe ground. Here, too, are in-numerable vegetables, all faradvanced for toe season. Onewould almost suspect that thisgarden has a better climate &7f"soil than the rest of the island.A garden pool is surrounded bya variety of flowering shrubsand flowers - everything wehave heard of, and also manyrare and exciting species.Above all, we appreciated thegracious welcome of our host-ess, Mrs. P. G. Jamesf Mr.James was unfortunately away)

It is an inspiration to visitthis lovely garden - and wethank Mr. and Mrs. James fortheir hospitality as well astheir help and encouragementto the members of the GardenClub in our struggles for a bett-er garden.

BRINGSRESULTS

The visit to the island lastweek of Victoria's "Bat Man*proved to be a diversion formany residents, who are nowwatching the attics and lofts ofold buildings in an effort to helpthe biologist in his study of thesenocturnal animals.

David C. Kerridge, of thebiology department of the Univ-ersity of Victoria, with his bridehave been touring the Gulf Is-lands in a camper trailer, and iscoupling his honeymoon with afield study on local bats.

Research is being conductedon these animals to better under-stand their importance in nature,their habits and behaviour, andtheir population structure. Bothsummer and winter colonies areneeded for the study. Residentsfinding any colonies are askedto contact Mr. Kerridge at onceat 477-6911 , local 305, andhe will come and band the batsfor identification purposes.

One interesting part of thebanding process is the effort toascertain if, and how far, batswill fly over water, and if theymigrate from one island toanother. At this time, Mr. Kerr-idge explained, they are busywith their "nursery colonies",and should be easy to locate, sohe is asking the co-operation ofall interested parties on the GulfIslands.

PURITY

BY OLIVE DA VIESWhile walking down a country laneI saw some narcissi in bloom;Their purity and fragrance sweetSeemed woven on a Heavenly loonI wondered if such flowers rareWere left from Eden's bounteousstore,Or if they had, by Nature's mode,Been washed up from some distantshore;No matter, for they seemed to meThe essence of a by-gojje day,A kingdom where simplicityAnd virtuous living still held sway.

These blossoms spoke to me of lovtOf friendship, loyalty and peace;Of world-wide hope, serenity,And deeper joys that would notcease;They seemed a symbol of the past,Yet spoke of future power unfurled,When man would learn by purerthoughtTo build a better, happier world.

ESSAYCONTEST

TOP ENTRY"Dear Old Salt Spring". Is

this a term of endearment orscathing resentment?

To young people of the Islandthe latter is most likely the prob-able answer. To the elderly Is-landers Salt Spring is a heaven;life is calm, peaceful and veryroutine. Teenagers are aware ofthe situation on the Island andthe time has now arrived whenaction must be taken to improveIsland life.

We are no longer satisfied tosit at home or at the RecreationCentre every weekend makingsmall talk with other deprivedfriends. Many steps could be tak-en, within a span of years, todivert the Island from an old-ageresort to a tourist complex with a

myriad of events and things to do.One of the most important

facets of Island life is transportat-ion.

The ferry system is far fromadequate. With the removal oflate ferries on Friday and Sundaynights shopping trips and eventhe pleasure of a night in Victoriahave been eliminated.

The recent ferry strike in Feb-ruary showed the Islanders thenecessity and importance of ourferry system.

The whole of Salt Spring's lifewould have ground to a halt ifit were not for the work of theindependent fish boats which wererunning a shuttle service betweenSalt Spring and Vancouver Island.

The controversy over the posit-ion of the Kulford ferry should be

settled. In my tsumation, Is-abella Point is a better locationfor the ferry. As you can see bythe map, with the ferry locatedIsabella Point, the route wouldbe shorter and sailing time couldbe cut by at least ten minutes.I'm sure many Islanders feel thesame way.

Ferry trips are no longer a novelty, and the quicker the trip,the more profitable for the pec-pie.

! It has been stated that Ful-ford Harbour would then ceaseto be important for the Island.On the contrary, I believe Ful-ford Harbour could come into its

protect against any turbulentweather.

The next outcry from Island-ers would be that Salt Spring hasjust built a boat anchorage inthe Ganges basin. This is true,but Fulford marina would be inclose proximity to the Van IsleMarina , Randle's Landing andSwartz Bay. Quick connectionsbetween these points in privateboats could prove to be invalua-ble, as well as the many hoursof riding, sailing or fishing thatcould be possible.

Tourists, especially Americansare absorbed in fishing when thethey visit Salt Spring and this

marina could be a valuable andexciting plan, if it were to beadopted.

The question of a bridge ortunnel to be built between SaltSpring and the nearest point onVancouver Island will never berealized. Not only would thecost be enormous, but Islandersare not seeking anything of thisnature.

Salt Spring wishes to base itsfame on its individuality of be-ing a resort area, it does notwant to be a suburb of Victoria,Duncan or even Vancouver in thefuture.

The next problem Salt Springmust settle is its sewage disposalproblem. How can the Islandever be a tourist paradise whenthe residents have inadequatefacilities for themselves?

The problem of sewage dispos-al has, in part, been created byvast subdivisions which are beingbuilt throughout the Island. Thedemand for houses has created aboom in building scenic comm-unities; this in turn has skyrocket'ed the value of Salt Spring realestate.

The outlets for sewage are anecessity, and if a sewage plantwill correct the situation, thenit should be built. However, ifthe sea is able to handle the sew-age itself then the Island panichas not been justified. Concernis plausible, as a lot of SaltSpring's future depends on thesea.

More attempts to improve tourist accomodations and visitingareas should be undertaken.There are ^ery few picnic areason the island and almost nobeach areas.

The majority of the lakes,have no good swimming or divingfacilities, but with the exceptionof small parts of St. Mary's Lakethere are no places for smallchildren to swim.

The lakes on Salt Spring areall very deep with a steep grad-ient, creating no opportunitiesfor the non-swimmers and thevery young children. VesuviusBay is the most popular beach.

As for picnic areas there is onetable at a small clearing oppos-ite St. George's Church (with noview), one at Fernwood and oneat Beaver Point. Although thereare tables in Mouat's Park, thepark itself is not near the water.

Picnic areas on St. Mary'sLake are rarely open to peoplewho are not staying at the resorts.

One aspect of Salt Spring thatcould be attractive to tourists isthe historical importance of theIsland. Some of the old buildingson the Island should be restored,with short captions posted outsidelo^reveal the significance of thatparticular building.

Some buildings that should berestored now are the BeaverPoint School, Beaver Point Community Hall, Central Hall and theBurgoyne School which is present-ly the residence of Mr. and Mrs.R. Robertson.

Even the Mahon Hall in Gan-ges is important in historicalreference. In the future morebuildings could be protected toreveal the colourful but hard lifeof pioneers on Salt Spring. ^±

Perhaps the most important^^changes for the younger membersof the populace of the Islandwould be the development of win-ter recreations.

Idealistically the constructionof a complex sports centre is des-ired. Here, there could be amultitude of activities personscould become involved with.With everything on a very smallscale, there could be an ice rinkfor public skating or playing hock'ey, a small swimming pool, anda small area for such activitiesas volleyball, basketball or bad-minton.

Not only the young people ofthe Island, but also their parentsand the older people of the Islandcould share such a building.

There should also be an att-empt to bring in as many varietyshows as possible. "The Best ofBarkerville" show and occasionalappearances of the Victoria Sym-phony have been extremely suc-cessful. The various groups on theIsland, the Legion, The Firemenand others could develop or prod-uce their own variety shows orplays which would be as success-ful as the undertakings of theLion's Club.

Islanders enjoy watching otherIslanders perform, and take agreat delight in witnessing ascene that is typically Salt 'Spring in origin.

The Walkathon was very suc-cessful, so why not develop oth-er events in which the Islanderscan participate? A cross countrybicycle race, staged annually,could give everyone an oppor-tunity to reveal their athleticprowess.

An adults track meet could beinteresting, and could be held onthe sports grounds of the school.For the teenagers, places formotorcycle scrambles andquarter mile drags could be dev-eloped. This would be an excell-ent way of filling many drabSundays.

The athletic competitions inthe school are becoming betterevery year, but more competit-ion could produce excellent ath-letes out of very promising ones.Already the school has good voll-eyball and basketball teamswhich raise the standard of theschool's reputation.

There should be more annualcontests on the Islands. Compet-ition for golf, baseball or eventrack and field could be devel-oped between Salt Spring and theother Gulf Islands.

Every year there is anion Week in Canada. At this

time the school becomes an openhouse for any visitors.

During this week Salt Springis also known to have an Orator-ical Contest". To develop |incentive in die school, prizesshould be given (by the school orbusinesses) for oratory, scienceprojects and essays, preferablyabout certain aspects of SaltSpring. In this way the studentscould delve into the past, pres-ent or future and learn about theworld around him, and how hewill cope with future situations.

There are forms of entertain-ment already on the Island which

quite popular. Bowling andlliards are two pastimes enjoy-

ed primarily by the older peopleof Salt Spring.

The movies, which have onlyjust been shown this year, wereneeded. The variety of showshas been very good. The hockeyleague which has been establish-ed, is growing more popular ev-ery year.

It is unfortunate that most ofthe adults do not come down towatch their sons play, becausethey are missing good, fast, ex-citing games. The adults of theIsland should support activitiesof this kind as the hockey leagueillustrates a culmination of hardwork and a desire to establish agood sport.

Holidays and especially theMay Day Celebrations shouldtake on a brighter flavour. BothIslanders and tourists enjoy andremember a well planned anddiversified festivity.

May Day Celebrations shouldalternate every year betweenFulford and Ganges. Competit-ion would result and we wouldsee something interesting for achange.

The celebrations should bepatterned after a small countryfair, where everyone particip-ates. There should be livestockand home baking contests, racesand prizes for people of all ages,one to one-hundred, many newgames, guessing contests,strength contests, pie-eating contests and other fun games.

There should be good prizesfor float winners, with theencouragement of businesses toproduce a float. The marathonrace should be publicized wellin advance of the celebrations,in order to have a good race.

The turnout of people to theMay Day Celebrations has beenvery poor in the last few years,but no influential Islanders havetried to change the situation.With a little planning and a lotof work Salt Spring could havean annual celebration worth rem-embering.

In conclusion, Salt Springteenagers have always come 'home for periodical visits, andtheir comments remain the samewhether or not, there is nothingto do.

If some changes were to bemade, our teenagers wouldnever want to leave, and in add-ition Salt Spring would attracta bountiful and diversified num-ber of residents.

Letters to the EditorISLANDERS RIGHTS

editor, Driftwood.Mr. Howland's letter states

that he approves of Ganges peo-ple who refuse to serve otherswho look like hippies. He says"people who live on Salt Springhave a right to decide how theywish things to go."

Which people, Mr. Howl-and? So far action seems re-stricted to one group of people.Now it is time for the Chamberof Commerce to take a standand spell out Islanders' rights.Are tney for the right of theindividual? Or do they standfor bigotry and prejudice?

If local merchants refuseto serve kids with long hair,the next thing we'll know isthat people are turned awaybecause they are Jewish, a WarVeteran, have a gimpy leg orare poor.

If the Chamber of Commerceagrees with the evil of Mr.Howland's thinking, then therewill be no hope for this islandeither as a business commun-ity or as a place in which tolive. We shall be the Gestapo-run community which ArtSimons subtly depicted in lastweek's Driftwood cartoon.Mrs. Jan Gould,Fruitvale Road,Ganges, B. C.June 22, 1968.

HE DOES NOT GO ALONGEditor, Driftwood.

I wish to state quite firmlythat Geoff Howland does notspeak for the "people on SaltSpring."

I disapprove of the " thepeople in Ganges who have re-fused to serve customers whoare hippies, or act and look likehippies".

Indeed, I will refuse to dobusiness with any merchant whogoes along with such a ridicul-ous ban. I wish the merchantsinvolved would have the guts toadvertise their position becauseI can assure you that there aremany people who feel as I do.

It would be interesting tohave Mr. Howland's definitivestatement on how to identify ahippie.

Is long hair the sure sign? Ifso my three year old son is ahippie.

Is a beard the sure sign? Ifso I'm a hippie.

Is sitting around being peace-ful a sure sign? If so the re-tired people on Salt Spring areall hippies.

Is accepting public funds asure sign? If so all the retired,unemployed and hardship casesare hippies.

Is taking intoxicating drugsa sure sign? If so all the peo-ple who use the liquor store orlocal pub are hippies.

Is dressing in an odd mannera sure sign? Then all the fisher-men in this world are hippies.(Indeed, have you taken a goodlook at a Mountie uniform orthe ladies' hats on Sunday?)

What kind of mind or person-ality is it that feels threatenedby a young man in long hair?

Could it be that for some theonly real ties to masculinityare the outward appearances?And once these outward signsbegin to lose their meaning anindividual must begin to actlike a man - with all that im-plies; it is much easier to "look'like a man than to be_ a man.

Surely, the righf~of an indiv-idual to be himself, or try tobe himself, is a basic right ina free society. It is actuallytoo basic to warrant discussion.If we are to have a free societywe must be willing to acceptthat everyone will not conformto our standards of what is pro-per. Otherwise we will have asociety in which the Mr. How-lands, the local bartender, thelocal barber, and the localpolicemen tell us how to thinkact, and dress.

James B. Southward,RR1, Monteith Drive,Ganges, B. C.June 21, 1968

IT IS NOT SOEditor, Driftwood.

I don't know where Mr.Howland lives, but the kind ofSalt Spring Island he describesdoesn t match the one I know.It was always my impressionthat the Gulf Islands were a-bout the only place in Canadawhere middle aged peoplecould get away with beinghippies, even if they lackedthe vigour to grow long hair orany hair at all for that matter.

Now it turns out that this is-n't so after all, that Salt SpringIsland isn't really a placewhere the individual can be anindividual: where the womencan shop in blue jeans, themen stop for a beer wheneverthey please, and ties are notde rigeur at evening parties.In other words, that there isno freedom from urban conformity on Salt Spring after all - atleast that is what Mr. Howlandseems to think.

While his letter is prettyconfused, it appears that hewould like the community tooppose those "who are hippies,or act and look like hippies."

Well that covers about 95 per-cent of the population rightthere. He goes on to say that heis opposed to things that are"detrimental to the island" andthat are " against what otherpeople are working towards."Refusing to serve 95 percent ofthe people seems to me prettydetrimental; and what peopl eon the island are working to-ward- if they are working at all-is their own business: non ofmine, none of yours, and noneof Geoff Howland's.

Finally he says that it's tooeasy to get on welfare thesedays and that the taxpayershave to pay for it all. Well heis right on that one. It is tooeasy because all it takes in un-employment, poverty, or per-sonal tragedy and it's clear thatthese come along without mucheffort on our part. And the tax-payers do pay for it all - why,we even pay for the police forcethat protects Mr. Howlandfrom the righteous wrath of theislanders who want to preserveSalt Spring as a place where aman can do his own thing, dressas he pleases, shave or not,have his hair cut or not; andlive the way democracy demandswe all live: tolerant of our fell-ows and as defensive of theirrights as we are of our own.Walter Young,North Beach Road,R.
