Of the seven recommendationpresented to the Capital Region-al Board by the Salt Spring Isl-and land reserve joint commit-tee, six met with the approvalof the directors.

Resolution which lost by amajority vote called for the ex-clusion of Class Four land fromthe agricultural reserve. Landdesignated agricultural reserveis to be held permanently forfarm pruposes and can never be

DESERTED DOGS ONE DECK DOWNBY MARY BACKLUND

Gulf Islands living meansferry boat travelling.

During a recent trip, I not-iced a large dog, quite obvious-ly scared out ofhis wits, andbarking loudly from Swartz Bayto Galiano.

Why do people bring dogs onto the ferry, tie them up onthe car deck, and then not bo-

rther to see diem for the remain-der of the trip? It may be twohours. Anyone who likes dogs-knows that any trip, especiallyon a big boat, will scare thedaylights out of any animal. Sothe doc reacts the only way heknows how. He barks. And ifhe is a big dog, it's a big bark.

If the owner of the dog likeshim enough to bring him along

on the ferry, he surely mustknow that the animal is natur-ally afraid.

It would not hurt a travellerone little bit to go below tolook after his canine pal. Itwould surely be much easier onthe ears. And £e animalmight feel better with a famil-iar friend in the unfamiliar sur-roundings of a big boat.

and lands. Chairman J. M.Campbell, of Saturna Island,disagreed vigorously with Direc-tor Holmes on the exclusion ofClass Four land from agricultur-al reserve.

The board supported the SaltSpring submissions calling forthe exclusion from agriculturalland reserve of those parcelshaving less than two acres of ar-able land. One proviso wasadded. Where such two acresare adjacent to a larger area ofarable land, they will not beexcluded.

Parcels having two acres ormore of arable land will haveonly such arab le land designa-ted agricultural reserve.

Since deep well irrigation ishazardous to the limited dom-estic water supply on a salt water Jsland, the potential irrigat-ed land rating should not betaken into consideration, urgedthe island committee. Concernof Mr. Holmes for this provisionarises from the entry of saltwater already found in domest-ic water supplies. Extensive

As a retired R.C.A.F. Squad'ron Leader, Mr. Sharp arrivedon Salt Spring in 1960 and set-tled on a Beddis Road waterfrontproperty near Ganges. Suchwas the energy and outstandingcharacter of Mr. Sharp that hewas soon well-known from oneend of the island to the other.His ready wit and infectiousgood humor gained him a hostof friends, and these traits am-ong many other qualities, allcontributed to his value andworth as a citizen.

Mr. Sharp was a School Boaidtrustee for two terms and waschairman of the Library Board.

Isome journalistic notice as wellas some skepticism. But itworked perfectly. Even theodd skeptical watch dog soonlearned to look forward to Mar-shall's cheery hello and themonthly hand-out of a biscuitor other treat.

One of Mr. Sharp's manyhobbies was photography so itwas perfectly natural that hewas soon doing most of the loc-al photographic work. Practic-ally all black and white workwas processed in his own darkroom and the photo library nowcontains thousands of items, in-cluding aerial photos of theGulf Islands.

Probably not quite so well-known here was "Sharp's FireLighter", a flint and steel de-vice incorporated in a smallwalnut or mahogany holder. Mr.Sharp developed this unique it-em when he was commandingthe Survival School in Edmont-on. It is much in demand formilitary survival kits, sports-men, outdoorsmen, and so on.The Sharps have made well ov-er 100, 000 of them in theirhome and have sent them virtu-ally all over the world.

Mr. Sharp was most certainlyone of the world's "doers". Hisenergy and mechanical skillwas evident when he was a boyin Vancouver. He was one ofthe best model aircraft buildersin Canada and his boats andother projects were always

beautifully designed and built.One of the young lad's ideas al-most got him into trouble. Hehad made an ingenious type ofcross-bow which would hurl ametal bolt or arrow a prodigiousdistance. One afternoon, todemonstrate the effectivenessof this device to some youngfriends, he aimed it at a largesign board well down the streetand let fly. Bang! Then whoshould come rushing out frombehind the sign, as if in a mov-ie, but a motorcycle police-man! This "Cross-bow Incid-ent" could have been very ser-ious but the constable soon be-came intrigued by the work-manship and overall effective-ness of the weapon so let himgo with a stern warning. It issuspected that Marshall's nat-ural charm and basic innocencehad much to do with this qual-ity of mercy.

After the war Mr. Sharp be-came interested in diving so,naturally, he devised his ownsuit and mask. He convertedan old war-time oxygen maskand rigged up a paint spraypum p to supply the air. He al-so used a beer pump for awhile, probably the only timehe would have the remotest usefor a beer pump! He was soonable to explore the bottoms ofrivers and lakes in Ontario andspent many a week-end andholiday looking for lost out-board motors. The Sharps managed to locate at least 50 mot-ors in a few "easons as well asvarious other valuable items.

Marshall Sharp joined theR. C.A.F. at Jericho Beach in1934. In those days it was wellnigh impossible to get into theAir Force unless one had out-standing qualifications. Eventhen a lot of luck was prettywell a necessity. Through Msinterest in aviation he caughtthe eye of the Commanding Officer and he was able to join asan airman. The R. C. A. F.never made a better move. Hecompleted a pilot's course in1939 with high marks and duringthe war completed an Arma-ment Officers course, also withvery high marks. Shortly afterthe war he was sent to Califor-nia to qualify as "pilot" of rad-io controlled target drones.These miniature aircraft werevery tricky to control but Mar-shall turned out to be just theman for the job.

Throughout his life Mr. Sharphad been the complete outdoor-sman and very few people couldteach him anything about fish-ing, hunting or survival in thewoods. When the R. C. A. F.needed a man to command theSurvival Training School at Ed-monton they found the perfectcandidate in S/L Sharp. His en-quiring mind and great versat-ility soon gave him a goodgrasp of Arctic living and surv-ival. And, as could be expect-ed, he was accepted by the

natives as an equal. There arevery few white men who canbuild an igloo but the art wassoon mastered by Marshall. Thechapter on Arctic 'shelters inthe Government manual "Downbut not Out" was prepared byhim. He often suggested thathis five years as C. O. of theSurvival School and his life inthe North was the high point ofhis career.

Considering all MarshallSharp's projects and activitiesthe wonder is that he was ableto find any time for relaxationor the pursuir of his many hob-bies. But his sailboat "SONSY"was well-known in the localwaters and he and Mrs. Sharphad some wonderful cruises upbeyond the tip of VancouverIsland. A prodigious reader -5f ten a book per day - he couldoften be seen cruising by withsalmon lines out, one hand onthe tiller and the other holdinga book. Any poem that tookhis fancy was memorized inshort order and he could recallschool day poems and storiesletter perfect.

There are many words thatcould be used to des cribe thismost excellent citizen. Someof the words are a bit out of fa-shion in some circles now butany community or societywould be blessed with individ-uals who are interested in theirfellow men, who are honest toa fault and who possess greatintegrity. Mr. Sharp's honestywas absolute and his high stan-dard of morality was surelyclosely linked to his constanthigh morale.

He is greatly missed.

It's a funny thing, but whenthe Gulf Islands were cut offfrom the rest of Canada by aferry strike, the matter was oneof little concern to anybodyoutside the Gulf Islands. Yet,when Newfoundland and PrinceEdward Island were cut off byferry strikes, it was a major na-tional disaster. After you getthe tourists away from.the east-ern provinces, what's the panic.Both islands are provinces ofCanada and one was for manyyears a separate country. Theymust both, surely, be more vi-able entities than the far-from -self-supporting Gulf Islands ofthe west? It seems there ismore joy in Ottawa when oneeasterner confesses his needsthan when 99 westerners neednot Ottawa. Or something likethat. * * *

FARMLAND RESERVEThe development of agricultural land reserves am-

ong the islands is taking shape.At the direction of the provincial government the

Capital Regional District has prepared extensivemaps of the islands showing the land which is deem-ed to be capable of sustaining agriculture. The pub-lic has examined the maps and they are now beingincluded into a land reserve by-law.

The display of maps on Salt Spring Island encourag-ed many property owners to attend and examine thecategories into which their lands had been placed.There were 140 submissions, protesting the designa-or drawing attention to variations from fact.

Among the Outer Islands there was less concernshown over the presentation of maps of the islands.There were no submissions as far as we know today ,although South Pender residents added some commentlast week end.

The pattern of acceptance is so far at variancewith the province-wide protests when the Land Com-mission Act was proposed earlier In the year. It isvery surprising to find that so few islanders have satup to protest the designation of their land as agricultural. The opposition which was evident when thebill became law was sufficient to convince many ofus that at this stage the majority of property ownerswould find numerous excellent reasons why their pro-perities should not be in the agricultural category.

There remains only one opportunity of examiningthe designations and raising a voice to question themThere will be a public hearing at the beginning ofOctober , held , we trust, in the islands. Residentsare warmly recommended to take a look at the mapsand to ascertain where they agree with the designa-tions of their own properties. In October they canstand up and say so. Afterwards , like ill-matchedmarriage mates , they might well hold their peace.

NOBODY CAN HIDE!From time to time a resident of the district will

call upon Driftwood to withhold the fact that he hasSsen arraigned before a court of justice and faced acharge , usually of driving in an illegal manner or ofindulging in alcoholic beverages in such a manner as

to contravene the rules laid down by society.From time to time Driftwood is left to decide who

is entitled to the cloak of anonymity and whose nameshould be published. It is an impossible decision forhard-working newsmen.

In future , there will be no flexibility. In futureif a man , or a woman, appears in court and pays thepenalty for social foolishness, the fact will be dulyrecorded. There will be no exceptions to this rule.

Letters To The EditorIT WAS USEFUL, THEN

Editor, Driftwood,During the late ferry strike

I had occasion to go to Van-couver and was very pleased tobe able to use the facilities atthe Fulford airstrip, thanks toMr. Cudmore. I found it morereasonable than other modes oftransportation and think it isan asset to the island to havethis airstrip available. As tonoise maybe the Fulford resid-

ents who complain of it shouldhear the planes going out ofGanges Harbor.

THINK WHEN YOU VOTE

Editor, Driftwood,Before too very long we will

be voting for a Regional Direct-or to take over from MarcHolmes. He has done a rem-arkably fine job in the face ofvicious opposition. I'm surewe are all thankful to him.

As a word to the wise, thereis something we should all bearin mind as we decide for whomto cast our votes. What is thereal policy of the candidate —not the advertised one necess-arily? Expediency dictates thepolicies of ambitious politici-ans sometimes. If a voter isnot very careful he or she mayfind his or her vote has helpedto put in an individual who isnot truly concerned vith theinterests that were primarilyprofessed. The voter might discover this too late—after theresults are in. Candidates canturn out to be wolves in sheep'swool. Let us consider first andvote afterwards!

Lillian Horsdal,Fulford Harbour,August 23 , 1973.

SPURIOUS

Editor, Driftwood,If my "erroneous and malici-

ous charges" were instrumentalin getting Marc Holmes out ofthe woodwork, then they haveserved their purpose. But Istill wonder where the aerialphotos came from if no aerialsurvey had been undertaken.Besides, another member of the"joint committee" also men-tioned aerial surveys when ask-ed how the controversial mapshad been contrived.

When viewing these inaccur-ate maps with regard to theirintended purpose, any freedom-minded citizen cannot help butbe shocked at the utter lack ofintestinal fortitude on the panof the members of the joint

committee, for not rejectingsuch spurious documents out ofhand! And now we are supposedto owe them a "debt of gratit-ude? For making a few meeksuggestions, or for diddling withthe hopes and dreams of hund-reds of little land owners?

Don't you understand, MarcHolmes, that most island landowners hold on to their smallacreages because it is the onlyreliable hedge against inflationthat they know of, as well astheir only retirement savings?They do not - like you - re-ceive a substantial governmentpension; and they do not - likeyou - own prime water frontagethat can be converted into alot of cold cash at any time,WITHOUT the need of sub-dividing !

If farmland is to be preserv-ed it should be farmland, andthe loss of equity should notbe borne by the individuals af-fected, but by society as aWhole! - For my taste, theland act smacks too much ofEast European practices, and Icame to this country becauseI have absolutely no use forbureaucratic enslavement!

It can't happen here? Don'tyou kid yourselves!

RUCKLE PARK

Editor, Driftwood,The news that the much pub-

licized Ruckle Park will notcome into existence for anoth-er 10 years is a gross deceptionon the part of the government.This misleading publicity hasonly created more problemsfor the people of Salt Spring Is-land.

At present there is MouatPark for overnight camping.

At this time there are still anumber of privately ownedcampsites which do handlemore campers than Mouat Parkcan. They charge reasonablerates and cause no problems tothe community.

The private owners keep con-trol and don't allow ugly situa-tions to develop so that rowdy-ism and all night parties don'ttake place. People can get anight s sleep.

All 'jiat is needed is a priv-

ate campsite which could 'rakeover the numbers which useMouat Park and Mouat Parkcould revert to a day park with-out inconveniencing the publicin any way.

Then it would be that thelocal community could take aninterest in Mouat Park andmake plans which could makethis property an asset to theisland which it presently is not.

Instead of freezing land andzoning people out of existencethe government should bepleased to allow some privatecampsites to go in of up to 50sites. This could all be hand-led at the regional level.

This would remove a trouble-some element from our comm-unity and the problem would besolved.

MORE ABOUT SEWERSEditor, Driftwood,

Well, after several months ofwaiting and concern about thequestion of sewers in Ganges,we finally have had some in-sight as to who the chairman is.

We hear that nothing is hap-pening about the sewers. Ohwell, we can't win them all!After all, if a dissident likemyself is concerned about whatsomeone else is deciding torme in a matter of my tax dol-lars and yours, and no informa-tion comes forth, then the onlyway left open is to ask ques-tions but again the answer re-ceived is most incomplete, tosay the least!

I understand that a sizablesum of money has been spentby the Regional Board in orderto produce an updated report.Is it not time that we hearsome of these results? Mr.Holmes, have you the data onthis survey?

I recall a time and placewith my tape recorder, thatyou were against the idea ofsewers in Ganges, for fear ofthe exploitation of business inthis area. I wonder what hasbrought a complete about-faceon this subject? Will it evercome to the point that this horror of horrors in your eyes,known as the "Burgoyne Air-strip" may just be totally ac-cepted and endorsed by youpersonally now that a greatmajority, including the Cham-ber of Commerce, have comeout of hiding and endorsed it,after such a long fight on thepart of a few of us who have,and still believe, in equalrights for anyone, no matterwhat social status they repres-ent!

Provincial parks only add tothe problems of private resortoperators,, DRIFTWOOD wastold last week by an irate oper-ator.

The government lives by onerule and then imposes anotherrule on private operators, hecharged. New, impressive listof health and sanitary regula-tions must be obeyed by nextApril or the resort is out ofbusiness, he not ed.

On the other hand, the prov-incial parks and campinggrounds are required to conformto none of those standards andthe private operator running apark on the provincial patternwould be persecuted and putout of business, he contends.

The protester insists he rem-ain anonymous because he isstill in business.

After a thorough clean-up,he drives away to enjoy a fewmore cheap days in the publicpark despite its lack of facilit-ies.

"If the government is get-ting into the resort business inopposition to us, " insists theisland operator, "They've gotto let us attract business."

He explained that on SaltSpring Island the same govern-ment has prohibited tourist in-formation signs at the ferrywharfs.

DOMESTIC SUPPLIES

SALT WATER THREATSalt water can get into the

drinking water on a small isl-and.

The supply at Scott Point,which serves the top of the pen-insula, comes from deep wellsand there is already evidenceof the presence of salt water.

Trustees are at present eng-aged in planning a new sourceof domestic water.

Water is usable, but the saltcontent is unpalatable to manyusers.

Director Marc Holmes, ofthe Capital Regional Board, re-ferring to the isldanders' con-cern for any suggestion to irrig-ate by deep well, explainedthat the fresh water lies atop ofany sea water which penetratesthe land. In the crevices andholfows of the rock, from whichmost wells take their supply,the fresh water will be nearestthe surface. When the freshwater is pumped out faster thanit can be replenished, the saltv/ater rises towards the base ofthe pumping system and entersthe well.

COMMUNITY COMMENTSBY JIM WILKINSON

August 28, 1973NIiWS FROM VICTORIA

Vhe Agricultural Land i'escrve Plan started on its leg-islative route march at the Capital Regional Board levellast Friday in Victoria.

An observer reports that Chairman Jim Campbell spentsome considerable time trying to convince the membersof the Capital Regional Board the merits of Bill 42. Thiswas not too well received by some of the directors andthe motion to eliminate Class 4 Farm Designation forSalt Spring Island, when put to a vote, was not carried.

I would suggest to all residents of Salt Spring Islandwhose land would be affected by this legislation, to at-tend all Public hearings, even though, unfortunately, itw:.ll require a trip to Victoria.

There have been approximately 200 protests registeredwith the Capital Regional District re Land Designation.Can you imagine 200 people trying to get on the 8:30 amFulford ferry for Victoria? It is to be hoped that the Cap-ital Regional Board will reverse its decision and hold theSalt Spring Island Public Hearings locally.

Points of Information - Bill 42, Section 10, Para. 3."Notwithstanding subsection (2), the commission may,

in respect of any agricultural land that is an agriculturalland reserve, register a caveat in the appropriate LandRegistry Office restricting the agricultural land describedtherein to farm use. " What??? Restricted Covenants???

I made the mistake of buy-ing some brandy. I made triemistake of not buying it .through the Liquor ControlBoard. I saw an ad for somebrandy over in England and Ibought 24 bottles.

There is a law in this prov-ince that you may not importany liquor or any wine unlessyou do it through the LiquorControl Board. That's reason-able. They want to get theircut too. So I phoned up theLiquor Control Board and said:"What do I do?" The mansaid: "Well, just have themsend it to us and we'll look af-ter it and when we get it, youcan have it - once you pay alittle squeeze."

So fine, I sent a letter to thefirm in Lon-'on and they sentme a letter saying they wereshipping the stuff airmail.Three months went by and I re-ceived a lovely letter from theLiquor Control Board saying:"If you will come down andpay us" - and the •sum was alittle more than I paid for the.original brandy - "You canhave it. " I thought, that isgreat. After all, they have tolive tno.

So I made out my cheque ardsaid: "I was wondering, if it isall right if I bring a cheque?"They said: "Yes."

I said: "Okay, I'll be downshortly after 12."

"Oh, don't come then. "I said: "Why?""Well, it's s'iesta hour. ""What do you mean, siesta

hour?""We all take lunch together.'I said: "You've got to be

kidding.""No, we close at 12 every

day. From 12 to 1, that's siestatime."

So, I don't know; they havethat in Mexico. I thought may-be the Ontario government haddecided this was the way weshould live - mat we shouldbring it here, to Ontario. It'snot a bad idea.

So I phoned the Premier'soffice - 1 was curious about histhis - and I said: "Are youbringing in the siesta? Is thisthe new thing" We are now go-ing to work from 9 to 12 andwe'll siesta from 12 to 3 orsomething, and then we'll workfrom 3 to 8? It works fairly

The girl in the office said:"No, I wasn't aware of this. "I said: "Well, one governmentdepartment is, the Liquor Con-trol Board. " She said: "No, Idon't think so."

So I phoned back to the Liqu-or Control Board. I said "Areyou sure this is the policy be-

lt anywhere. " I said: "Butthere is nowhere to move ir to,you have all the spots filledwith your employees' cars. ""That's your problem."

I thought about that for aminute, then I said: "Well,what if I don't move it?" Hesaid: "We will have the policetow it away." I said: "Okay,you have the police tow it aw-ay. I just want to pick up mycase, and I'll be gone beforethe police arrive anyway. "Where do I pick up the liquor?"He said: I'm not telling you."

."Well, why should I come be-fore that?1' He said: "Well,you see we all like to be out at12 sharp, and if you only arriveat a quarter to 12, somebodymight have to stay behind and'we all like to take our lunchtogether. " So I went down,and I had a rather interestingexperience there. Perhaps Ishould tell the House about it;it was enlightening.

It was on Friedland Streetand I got there at 11:30 as Ididn't want to be late. Therewas a huge parking lot but itwas all filled. I thought "MyGod, they must be busy inthere. " Actually I was the on-ly customer. They have thisbig parking lot for the employ-ees, but they don't leave anyspace for the customers becausewell, what the heck, we knowwho's important in Conservat-ive Ontario - the employees.

I looked, I went around theblock a couple of times andthere was nowhere to park.There was a public parking lottwo blocks away, but .therewere two cases of brandy. Ididn't see how I could carrytwo cases of brandy so far.

Finally, there was a tinyspot right beside the entrance,so I squeezed in there and •gotout of my car.

I went into the front officeand said: "I would like to pickup my brandy. Here is the re-ceipt for it. He said: "Is thatyour car?" I said "Yes." Hesaid, "Well, you'll have tomove your car first. " I said,"Okay, where shall I move itto?" He said: "I don't carewhere you move it, just move

I pushed the button on theelevator, and he said: "Oh, noyou don't, " and put his foot inthe door to make sure the elev-ator couldn't go up. I though!:this was a little strange, but Iguess this is normal governmentcivility. I said: "Okay, if Ican't pse the elevator, I'mwilling to abide by the rules. "So I walked Up the three flights.I didn't want to get mad be-cause they have rules - if youpark in the wrong place youcan't use the elevator.

I went up to the third floorand I said to the girl on duty:"Where do I pick up my brandy?She said: "Oh, that's down onthe first floor. Leave the mon-ey here." So I gave her themoney, and said: "Well, wheredo I get it?" "You go into theshipping department, " So I said,"Where is the shipping depart-ment?" "Well, when you godown to the first floor, ask.that. fellow by the elevator where itis. "

SATURN ABYPAPAT0HN

Last week was a humdingerfor TROUBLE. Had Granmariein Lady Minto all the time theferry strike was on. She ishome now and my thanks toDr. Dixon and the staff atLady Minto. Usually when youphone a hospital about a pa-tient you get a very unsatisfac-tory reply BUT when you phoneLady Minto you get a personalreply geared to the patient'scondition. Granmarie is awayto ye kirk this a. m. but willhave to take it easy for awhile,

My very sincere thanks toBev and Aileen Campbell whotook Granmarie over to SaltSpring in their power boat. TheCampbells and the Hindmarchsmade several trips over to Sid-ney for milk, etc. during thestrike. Guess we will have tothank them for their neighbor-ly help. Then again Grahamand Polly Howarth who arehere for their holidays fromCalgary took five Saturnafriends over last Sunday to seeher and Flora Bavis. Bad luckwas still with us, as Grahamlost the prop on his power boaton the way home.

In Lady Minto with Granmar-ie was Flora (Daisy) Bavis.Johnny Money in his boatbrought Daisy home last Thurs-day. Daisy will have to keepoff her feet most of the timefor a while. She is thankfulthat hoosband Walter is a first-class cook. While on the goodpart of the sad news we sawDoreen Cowan last night andshe is just out of hospital rec-overing from a bout with pneu-monia. Take it easy, < 'oreenyou can't fool around with thatbug.

Keith Olsen, whose car wentout of control on his way to thsBig Dance i s doing fine. Butwhat amazed everyone was thatPolly Howarth, who is a nurse,climbed up the hill to help hirrwhile everyone else was tryingto get down to the wreck.

While Granmarie was in thehospital I had so many offersof help that I got embarrased(yes me). Besides food I hadseveral ladies phone and offerto do my washing. Also four ofGranmarie% old friends phonedand offered to come over, thatone had me discombobulated,for what was I going to do withfour women in ye cottage andmy wife not home yet!

Visitors at Don Cunningham'!-home were his brother Bill,wife Evelyn and family Patty,Steve ana Robert. While at thishouse the good news was thatLil and family will not go badto Libya and that Don will begetting out of the country assoon as he can. Guess condi rtions are pretty precarious forforeigners there right now.

PASTOR DAVID G. LOW

QUESTION: Is there any script-ure that proves, Christ worelong hair while on earth?ANSWER: The Bible is com-pletely silent as to the actuallength of Jesus' hair. Ourthinking however has been in-fluenced by many pictureswhich have Christ sporting longhair.

No wonder a few years ago,one excuse for the so-called"hippie1 to wear long hair wasthat Jesus wore long hair.

The Bible does comment onthe beard of Jesus but nevermentions His hair, so how do w<know how long His hair was?

Historians would tell us thatat the time of Jesus, the lengthof men's hair was actually shortwhich was in complete contrastto women's hair. We believethat Jesus grew up in the sameenvironment as everyone elseand that he certainly wasn't an'odd-ball', so his hair stylewould be similar to everyoneelse's - short.

Paul, the apostle, in I Corin-thians 11:14,15, would seem tosubstantiate the claims of thehistorians with reference to thestyle of the day. He said 'if aman have long hair, it is ashame unto him.'

When the Salt Spring proposalto leave Class Four land out ofthe reserve, came under debate,Director Holmes and ChairmanCampbell were heatedly at log-gerheads. Campbell won.Class Four is in.

Only after some debate andnot a little persuasion from Dir-ector Holmes was the proposalaccepted that inspection by asoil scientist be required in caseof doubt. If a property ownerhas questioned the designationof his property no action willbe taken to confirm or changethat designation without an in-spection of theTland by a qual-ified expert. This leaves threecategories of island land in-stead of two. There will beagricultural reserve land; landwhich is excluded from the re-serve and property requiring further investigation.

The department of agricult-ure will be asked to resurveyClass Two, Three and Fourland to the scale of 1:15, 000 inview of the unsatisfactory ap-plication of the 1:50,000 scalemaps. Not only was this appro-ved by the region, but it wasagreed that it should be equallyapplicable to all parts of theregional district. ,

The board also agreed to re-cognize the need for limitedurban expansion of Ganges,Fulford and Vesuvius, with dueregard for the preservation ofagricultural land. It went fur-ther, in extending the principleto land in other parts of the re-gional district.

Among recommendationsmade to the board by propertyowners and municipal spckes-men in all parts of the region-

al district were a number com-ing close to home in the isl-ands.

It was agreed that any par-cel of land of more than twoacres could be listed in the ag-ricultural reserve at the wishof the owner, irrespective ofits agricultural capability.

' Land in parcels of over twoacres now listed as fain landwill not necessarily be includ-ed in the agricultural reserve.For assessment purposes the en-tire parcel used as a farm mustbe classed as farmland. Aholding of 200 acres, of which150 acres is bare rock and 50acres arable becomes assessedas 200 acres of farm land. Theboard, after debate, agreedthat this procedure would notbe followed, and that onlythose parts of the parcel whichare arable land will be includ-ed in the land reserve.

Gravel pits, quarries or othermineral sources will be exclud-ed from agricultural reserve.This provision has been madein order that a gravel pit maycontinue to operate until thereserve supply is all used.

The board considered theserecommendations during theafternoon on Friday when a spe-cial meeting was held in Vict-oria to prepare agricultural lanedesignations for the new by-law

SALT SPRING DELEGATES ADDRESS BOARDSalt Spring Island spokesmen

addressed the Capital RegionalBoard at some length on Fridaylast week when they atetnded aspecial meeting to consider thefarmland designations for agri-cultural land reserve in the en-tire district.

Capital Regional Board receiv-ed 140 submissions from SaltSpring Islanders, directors weretold.

The board was sitting to con-sider various aspects of the landreserve program.

Submission was made by rep-resentatives of Salt Spring IslandOuter Islands were not represent-ed by any delegations.

Of the total area of 46, 000acres, the farmland reserve is

considering only 11, 000 acres,the board was told. Remainingland on Salt Spring Island is un-suitable for farming, irrespect-ive of special treatment or ir-rigation.

Director Marc Holmes intro-duced his alternate director Ad-rian Wolfe-Milner and a soilsexpert from Salt Spring, JamesRaeside.

In his introduction Mr. Holme;told the board that the displayand provision of information onSalt Spring Island had been mor<extensive and more ambitiousthan anywhere else in the regi-on.

He also noted that Mr. Wolfe-Milner probably knows the isl-ands better than anyone elsewho could speak on the s ubjectMr. Wolfe-Milner was a landsurveyor on the islands until hisretirement last year.

The retired surveyor explain-ed that a committee had beenset up on the island to considerland reserves and that the mem-

bers had agreed that the publicmust have every opportunity tosee what was being consideredand to take action in the planshould they so desire.

For 11 days there was a dis-play in the gymnasium of theGulf Islands Secondary School,with maps on the walls showingthe planned agricultural landreserves. Tables were set upwith unmarked maps in orderthat visitors could pinpointtheir own properties to explainany discrepancy they found inthe coloured maps.

The response had been excel-lent, he told the board.

"Some of the 140 submissionsare not valid, we realize, " hecontinued, "but the majority aare. "

Only islanders who were ex-cluded from any participation 'in the program are the non-re-sident land-owners. They wereexcluded from the program,he admitted.

"They were left out by thishurriedly-pushed-througn legis-lation, " he charged.

The participation by the re-gional district in agriculturalland designation has been direc'ted by the provincial govern-ment, with an October dead--line.

Land inventory maps, prep-ared by the Dominion govern-ment and used as the basis forland reserve plans, are of tooinaccurate a scale for effectiveuse, said Wolfe-Milner.

The maps were enlarged forclarity, he reported, but sowere any discrepancies.

"All designations should beonly provisional," he urged,"We feel more time should begiven. The plan could well bestudied in more detail, and theproject could take another yearPeople who are locked into thisland reserve should be giventhe opportunity of disagreeingwith the final map, " he plead-ed.

Mr. Wolfe-Milner also refer-red to the problems facing ir-rigation on the island.

The islands are surroundedby salt ,/ater and depend ontheir own supplies of water forirrigation and other purposes,he reminded the board.

"I don't believe irrigation ispracticable on Salt Spring Isl-and, " he told the board, "andpossibly even less so on the Outer Islands. "

James Raeside supported Mr.Wolfe-Milner.

Mr. Raeside was associatedwith a scheme in New Zealand,where lands were grouped ac-cording to their productive capacities. He is a soil scientistand spent some years in Wash-ington as scientific adviser tothe New Zealand embassy, re-ported Mr. Holmes. The jointcommittee on Salt Spring Isl-and has been assisted by Mr.Raeside's technical experience,the board learned.

Mr. Raeside was not criticalof the original land inventory,he told the board, he merely i

considered that the scale ofavailable land maps was toosmall to permit a direct appli-cation to properties.

The whole 11, 000 acres ofpotential farm land on SaltSpring Island could be surveyedfor soil analysis in a matter oftwo months he told the board.It might be useful at the sametime to make an assessment ofwater resources on the island,he added. Such an assessmentmight settle the question of

HAZARDS OF BRANDY

(From Page Six )

I backed the car up to theramp, got out of my car andsaid: 'Here's my receipt; Ipaid for it. Can I have mybrandy?" Another official ap-peared and said; "Oh, no, youcan't put your car there. Moveit back to where it was before,and you have to enter the ship-ping department through thelobby. " I said: "I don't knowif they will let me. " He said:"Sure they'll let you. Youmove your car back rightwhere it was before beside thedoor and come in through thelobby. ". So I moved the car back to

where it was before, went intothe lobby and said: "Where isthe shipping department?"There were two of them nowstanding shoulder to shoulder."Oh, no you don't! You're noigoing into the shipping depart-ment until the police arrive. "At this point I thought I'd bet-ter go up and speak to whom-ever is in charge of this estab-lishment. I couldn't use theelevator, so I climbed up thethree floors again.

There are all sorts of officesall around the outside, and Iwasn't sure which person tospeak to, so I stood in themiddle of the floor, and, atthe top of my voice, I yelled:"Who runs this madhouse?"

They all ran out - and sever-al of mem claimed credit forit! They took me back down-stairs again, and a wholebunch of them escorted mebodily into the shipping depart-ment and gave me my brandy- all except three bottleswhich apparently had got lostbetween the time it arrived atthe Liquor Control Board andthe time I had gone to pick itup. They told me at the timethat they had been broken onarrival. I opened the originalcases but there are no liquorstains or broken glass; I guessthey must have evaporated.

Mr. J. F. Foulds(Port Arthur)Glass and all?

Mr. Shulmare Glass and all!There is only one thing thatreally bothers me about this,Mr. Speaker, and perhaps youcan enlighten me: Why dothey all nave to have theirlunc-ii together?

whether or not irrigation is feas-ible on the i sland.

One director felt that irriga-tion was not a permanent bar-rier. He felt that the situationcould change in the future 'through technological advances.

Director Wilkie Gardner, ofSidney, remembered the dayswhen there were many goodfarms prospering on Salt SpringIsland.

"Where are they now?" heenquired.

Mr. Wolfe-Milner assuredhim that they still exist butthat farming on Salt Spring Isl-and is at present very limitedi ndeed.

"It is not possible for a farmon the island to be viable," headded.

Chairman J. M. Campbell,of Saturna Island, brought themeeting back to the question offarmland designation,

"The memorandum from theprovincial government prohibitsconsideration of some of thesepoints, " he reminded the direc-tors.

In conclusion, Mr. Wolfe-Milner referred to the islanders'request for a public hearing onthe islands.

"We feel very strongly, " hetold the board, "that the twoelectoral areas of the islandsshould be able to attend on oneof the islands."

FARMLAND RESERVEThe development of agricultural land reserves am-

ong the islands is taking shape.At the direction of the provincial government the

Capital Regional District has prepared extensivemaps of the islands showing the land which is deem-ed to be capable of sustaining agriculture. The pub-lic has examined the maps and they are now beingincluded into a land reserve by-law.

The display of maps on Salt Spring Island encourag-ed many property owners to attend and examine thecategories into which their lands had been placed.There were 140 submissions, protesting the designa-or drawing attention to variations from fact.

Among the Outer Islands there was less concernshown over the presentation of maps of the islands.There were no submissions as far as we know today ,although South Pender residents added some commentlast week end.

The pattern of acceptance is so far at variancewith the province-wide protests when the Land Com-mission Act was proposed earlier In the year. It isvery surprising to find that so few islanders have satup to protest the designation of their land as agricultural. The opposition which was evident when thebill became law was sufficient to convince many ofus that at this stage the majority of property ownerswould find numerous excellent reasons why their pro-perities should not be in the agricultural category.

There remains only one opportunity of examiningthe designations and raising a voice to question themThere will be a public hearing at the beginning ofOctober , held , we trust, in the islands. Residentsare warmly recommended to take a look at the mapsand to ascertain where they agree with the designa-tions of their own properties. In October they canstand up and say so. Afterwards , like ill-matchedmarriage mates , they might well hold their peace.

NOBODY CAN HIDE!From time to time a resident of the district will

call upon Driftwood to withhold the fact that he hasSsen arraigned before a court of justice and faced acharge , usually of driving in an illegal manner or ofindulging in alcoholic beverages in such a manner as

to contravene the rules laid down by society.From time to time Driftwood is left to decide who

is entitled to the cloak of anonymity and whose nameshould be published. It is an impossible decision forhard-working newsmen.

In future , there will be no flexibility. In futureif a man , or a woman, appears in court and pays thepenalty for social foolishness, the fact will be dulyrecorded. There will be no exceptions to this rule.

Letters To The EditorIT WAS USEFUL, THEN

Editor, Driftwood,During the late ferry strike

I had occasion to go to Van-couver and was very pleased tobe able to use the facilities atthe Fulford airstrip, thanks toMr. Cudmore. I found it morereasonable than other modes oftransportation and think it isan asset to the island to havethis airstrip available. As tonoise maybe the Fulford resid-

ents who complain of it shouldhear the planes going out ofGanges Harbor.

Isabel Goodman,Ganges,August 27, 1973.

IT WAS A SUCCESS

Editor, Driftwood,As you mentioned in last

week's Driftwood, the Canada

It's the poor golfers who never win a prize who should bephotographed, explained Harold Hoffman. He was right. Sohere are the duff golfers, Alex Laing, left, and Hoffman.

Summer Games Lottery was of-ficially declared a great suc-cess.

Naturally, all of us are dis-appointed that none of theprize-money came to SaltSpring, however, the excellentparticipation of our local cit-izens, plus the co-operation ofDriftwood, the business people-- particularly Tom Toynbeeand Harry Newman, enabledour branch to earn a total of$532. 88 for use in our localendeavours.

An official list of the manyprize-winners can be seen atNorman Mouat's insurance of-fice.

Islanders, we heartily thankyou.

THINK WHEN YOU VOTE

Editor, Driftwood,Before too very long we will

be voting for a Regional Direct-or to take over from MarcHolmes. He has done a rem-arkably fine job in the face ofvicious opposition. I'm surewe are all thankful to him.

As a word to the wise, thereis something we should all bearin mind as we decide for whomto cast our votes. What is thereal policy of the candidate —not the advertised one necess-arily? Expediency dictates thepolicies of ambitious politici-ans sometimes. If a voter isnot very careful he or she mayfind his or her vote has helpedto put in an individual who isnot truly concerned vith theinterests that were primarilyprofessed. The voter might discover this too late—after theresults are in. Candidates canturn out to be wolves in sheep'swool. Let us consider first andvote afterwards!

Lillian Horsdal,Fulford Harbour,August 23 , 1973.

SPURIOUS

Editor, Driftwood,If my "erroneous and malici-

ous charges" were instrumentalin getting Marc Holmes out ofthe woodwork, then they haveserved their purpose. But Istill wonder where the aerialphotos came from if no aerialsurvey had been undertaken.Besides, another member of the"joint committee" also men-tioned aerial surveys when ask-ed how the controversial mapshad been contrived.

When viewing these inaccur-ate maps with regard to theirintended purpose, any freedom-minded citizen cannot help butbe shocked at the utter lack ofintestinal fortitude on the panof the members of the joint

committee, for not rejectingsuch spurious documents out ofhand! And now we are supposedto owe them a "debt of gratit-ude? For making a few meeksuggestions, or for diddling withthe hopes and dreams of hund-reds of little land owners?

Don't you understand, MarcHolmes, that most island landowners hold on to their smallacreages because it is the onlyreliable hedge against inflationthat they know of, as well astheir only retirement savings?They do not - like you - re-ceive a substantial governmentpension; and they do not - likeyou - own prime water frontagethat can be converted into alot of cold cash at any time,WITHOUT the need of sub-dividing !

If farmland is to be preserv-ed it should be farmland, andthe loss of equity should notbe borne by the individuals af-fected, but by society as aWhole! - For my taste, theland act smacks too much ofEast European practices, and Icame to this country becauseI have absolutely no use forbureaucratic enslavement!

It can't happen here? Don'tyou kid yourselves!

W. Bangert,Box 510, Ganges,August 27, 1973.

RUCKLE PARK

Editor, Driftwood,The news that the much pub-

licized Ruckle Park will notcome into existence for anoth-er 10 years is a gross deceptionon the part of the government.This misleading publicity hasonly created more problemsfor the people of Salt Spring Is-land.

At present there is MouatPark for overnight camping.

At this time there are still anumber of privately ownedcampsites which do handlemore campers than Mouat Parkcan. They charge reasonablerates and cause no problems tothe community.

The private owners keep con-trol and don't allow ugly situa-tions to develop so that rowdy-ism and all night parties don'ttake place. People can get anight s sleep.

All 'jiat is needed is a priv-

PICNIC FOR SUNDAYSCHOOLCHILDRENOF GOSPEL CHAPEL

The Community Gospel Chap'el held the annual SundaySchool picnic on Saturday, Aug.25, in Drummond Park at Ful-ford.

When the children were notracing, they were watchingothers. The balloon blowingrace was the most unpredictable- some balloons refused to beblown up, leaving the first con-testant in, to be the last to fin-ish the race.

There were wasps a'plenty tosample the food.

ate campsite which could 'rakeover the numbers which useMouat Park and Mouat Parkcould revert to a day park with-out inconveniencing the publicin any way.

Then it would be that thelocal community could take aninterest in Mouat Park andmake plans which could makethis property an asset to theisland which it presently is not.

Instead of freezing land andzoning people out of existencethe government should bepleased to allow some privatecampsites to go in of up to 50sites. This could all be hand-led at the regional level.

This would remove a trouble-some element from our comm-unity and the problem would besolved.

Geoffrey Howland,Ganges,August 27, 1973.

MORE ABOUT SEWERSEditor, Driftwood,

Well, after several months ofwaiting and concern about thequestion of sewers in Ganges,we finally have had some in-sight as to who the chairman is.

We hear that nothing is hap-pening about the sewers. Ohwell, we can't win them all!After all, if a dissident likemyself is concerned about whatsomeone else is deciding torme in a matter of my tax dol-lars and yours, and no informa-tion comes forth, then the onlyway left open is to ask ques-tions but again the answer re-ceived is most incomplete, tosay the least!

I understand that a sizablesum of money has been spentby the Regional Board in orderto produce an updated report.Is it not time that we hearsome of these results? Mr.Holmes, have you the data onthis survey?

I recall a time and placewith my tape recorder, thatyou were against the idea ofsewers in Ganges, for fear ofthe exploitation of business inthis area. I wonder what hasbrought a complete about-faceon this subject? Will it evercome to the point that this horror of horrors in your eyes,known as the "Burgoyne Air-strip" may just be totally ac-cepted and endorsed by youpersonally now that a greatmajority, including the Cham-ber of Commerce, have comeout of hiding and endorsed it,after such a long fight on thepart of a few of us who have,and still believe, in equalrights for anyone, no matterwhat social status they repres-ent!

BookReview

While Art and Bob Simonscycle from coast to coast andvisitors from Washington bringtheir pet dogs to the islands bybicycle trailer, it is yet start-ling to realize that a book oncycling trips could become abest-seller.

The new publication, "Ex-ploring by Bicycle" is rankingclose to a best-seller.

The bicycle has come intoits own as the elderly find asedentary life is slowly killingthem and the youthful fear thatthe gas-driven life may killthem. fast.

Text by Janet Wilson andmaps and photographs by Gundyand Bernie Epting, the bookconsists of 93 pages of informa-tion and 24 cycling trips in thePacific Southwest, includingBritish Columbia and the stateof Washington.

There is a chapter devotedto each of the Gulf Islands, of-fering information on cyclingthrough the islands. It is up-to-date including reference to theRuckle Farm acquisition forfuture park development.

Of interest to visitors, it isalso of some appeal to islandersoffering information which theymay not already have at theirfinger-tips.

Publishers have also present-ed two other guide books, Expl-oring Manning Park and Expir-ing Garibaldi Park. - F. G. R,

VISITORS SWARM TO UTLEY STUDIO IN GANGES FOR PREVIEWIslanders were not the only

visitors to Windsor Utley's Gan-ges studio on Sunday. Therewere viewers from various pla-ces off-island and a few visitorsspent the day on the island,looking around the communitybefore visiting his exhibition.

The display in the Gangesstudio is to be shipped to Seat-tle for exhibition there. The island artist arranged the Gangesshowing in order that island re-sidents could enjoy a previewof what has kept him busy inthe past year or so.

The collage, where the artistbreaks up a painting to assembleit again in a different manner,of where materials are glued tothe painting to achieve a dist-inctive effect, is new to theisland artist. His work in thisfield is new to his audiences.

The show consisted entirelyof abstractions, some very col-ourful and striking.

Effect of the paintings on thevisitors was varied. Some ex-amined each painting in com-plete silence. Others exchang-ed views as they gazed.

Windsor was playing hostand explaining to visitors iheinspiration which led to variousofferings.

Picture shows somu of the visitors to the Utley Studio examin-ing his work and enjoying Msrefreshments.

NO OTHER

BY-LAW

LIKE 17Agricultural land reserve by-

law to be prepared by the Cap-ital Regional Board will be un-like any other by-law in theregion, directors were told lastFriday.

Chairman J. M. Campbell,addressing a special meetingof the board, observed that theby-law forms only a recommendation and is in no way a reg-ulation governing residents orproperty owners of the region.

Furthermore, noted Camp-bell, there appears to be noth-ing in the provincial regula-tions which permits future am-endments to the land reserveby-law.

If any land has been left out,there is no way apparent yetwhereby the by-law could bereconsidered to have a changemade.

This is a major flaw in thepattern of land designation, hecharged.

FAMEFame is but a fleeting thing.Oft it comes on flashing wing.Inflated ego soars too high,Deflated, then so low to lie.Forgotten! Never quite the

same,If once we knew elusive fame.
