RECOLLECTIONSOF FIRST ISLANDBAKERY AT GANGES

Reference in a report lastweek to a Mr. R. Niemeyerbrought back recollections of a-JB . ;r day on Salt Spring Island^Fmany old timers.

Mrs. George Laundry toldDRIFTWOOD that Mr. Niemey-er operated the first bakery onSalt Spring Island many years a-

The bakery was located in thevicinity of the Stanley Wagghome in Ganges.

Majority of housewives bakedtheir own bread at the time, re-called the long-time island re-sident, and the bakery did notsucceed.

The property was operated fora time as a restaurant and as abank before abandoning itsmercial character.

PROGRAM AT GANGESIt is 50 years since the troops commenced to file out of the

battlefields of the First World War.Half a century ago the Armistice was signed and the surviving

soldiers returned home.On Monday the survivors will mark the end of the half century.

They will be supported by others paying tribute to the men whofailed to return.

The islands were notable in that first war. Few other areas ofCanada fielded so large a force from so small a community.

On Salt Spring Island the veterans of that war will join withveterans of other wars to mark the passage of history.

Parade on Monday morning will commence at 10:30 a. m. out-side the Legion Hall in Ganges. Legion members are invited towear berets, blazers and grey flannels, with medals. The par-ade is sponsored by the Salt Spring branch of the Royal CanadianLegion and all veterans are urged to take part, whether membersor not.

Veterans who may find the going tough will fall in with theparade at the Shell Station or on the park grounds.

The Legion is also presenting a dinner on Monday evening inthe hall. Dinner will be served at 7 p. m. The Ladies' Auxiliarywill cook and serve the dinner.

Veterans planning on attending the dinner may obtain ticketsfrom Fred Morris or Harry Newman in Mouat's Store.

NO BENEFITSAY HUNTERS

Shot gun isalso lethal atcertain

While a petition is being cir-culated on Salt Spring Islandcalling on the minister of rec-reation and conservation to pro-hibit the use of rifles for hunt-ing on the islands, there is aconsiderable feeling against theproposal.

Many enthusiastic hunterscontend that the shot gun isjust as dangerous as a rifle andthat majority of fatal accidentsoccur within shot gun range.

Farmers who have held thatthe restrictions would jeopard-ize the safety of their livestockhave no cause for concern. Thestricture would not restrict useof rifles for protecting sheepfrom marauding doss.

While hundreds of islandershave already signed the peti-tion, the question is still deba-ted among others. Proponentsof the restriction claim that arifle has a greater lethal rangethan a shot gun and is thereforepotentially more dangerous.

One reader was more empha-tic. He would eliminate the.22 from the land, he asserted.It is a matter of education, anumber of opponents told

ALL SET FOR FEBRUARY

BY-ELECTIONEarly February has been set for the by-election in Nanaimo-Cow-

DRIFTWOOD, and not of restri-ction.

New speed records were intro-duced into bingo on Saturdayevening when Bill Trelford op-ened the calling for the LionsGiant Bingo in Fulford Hall.

Mr. Trelford forged aheadfrom the start and was onlyheld back by the protests of vieplayers who were unable tocheck a wide array of cards. Bythe time he was calling outnumbers in a professional paceit was half-time and W. F.SlimThorburn took over.

The large crowd was broughtby the advance sale of tickets,attempted for the first time.Winner of a draw open to ad-

vance ticket holders was Mrs.J.Nelson. Mrs. Nefeon won a jtrip to Victoria or ^Vancouver byair and a week-end stay at Bay-shore Inn, Vancouver or theEmpress Hotel in Victoria.

PLANT IS DISMANTLEDCrews are busy at Welbury

Bay stripping out the pozzolanplant.

Life of one of Salt Spring Isl-and's few industrial undertakingswas brie'f. The plant first wentinto production in 1962 and hasstood in disuse for a number ofyears.

The equipment failed to workout according to the hopes ofits sponsors and it was closed.

Pozzolana is the volcanic ashfound near Pozzuali and is usedto describe treated shale. Theshale is slowly cooked as it pass-es through a heated revolvingdrum. It leaves the process aslight near-spongy granules. Itis used as an insulating mediumand also for the manufacture of alightweight concrete.

Plant is now owned by B. C.Light Aggregates, of Vancouver,who also operate the successfulshale plant at Saturna Island.

MEMORIES OF THE FUTURE?

There will be long memories on Monday.There will be recollections of campaigns and battles

which took place more than 50 years ago. Veterans ofat least two wars will be on parade. Veterans of atleast two wars will be missing from parade. Some whosurvived will be absent by preference.

There will be few of those veterans without his ownparticular memories. Each will recall the tragedy andthe horror and the dirt. Each will recall the revela-tion, the courage and the optimism. They will all beremembering a war.

Some will remember the filth and squalor of water-logged trenches in World War I . Others will see theoil-slicked frigid seas of a Second War naval battle.All will remember the incidents that stand out afteryears of normal life.

It will all be brought to mind by the 50th annivers-ary of the Armistice. It is 50 years since the worldwas dancing with the news of the surrender of KaiserWilhelm's imperial forces.

The jubilation is a memory today. Some of the flat-footed soldiers of the First World War will recall inci-dents of the armistice fever. Some of the later warveterans will remember the end of another struggle.

On Monday they will stand in silence for two min-utes to remember those who died at their sides. Thefact of remembering is different for each. Some willremember them in revelry, others in prayer. Somewill see the dying, others will recall the living. Somewill review those scenes in revulsion; others in delight.

Beyond these shores another conflict teeters on thebrink of peace as we remember the past.

Perhaps each one of us on Monday might do well toadapt his thinking to the present scene, 50 years aftermany were already dead. Each according to his ownpattern could spend two minutes reviewing what liesahead. He could devote his mind to the determinationfo play his part in ensuring that another generation ofCanadians will not be called upon to face a campaignof savagery, pain and death.

If every veteran were to work to avoid a repetitionCanada could lead the world in a movement towardspeace, instead of following a tread into further strife.

It would not require great effort. But it would dem-and of all of us a great conviction.

Editor, Driftwood.1 am quite surprised that you

can write an editorial wi th somany words that can only besensationalism as tar as youinfer that the woods are a battle-field and all those who ventureforth will be slain.

"Only the forgetful and thefoolish venture forth this timeof the year," are the words youused.

i think that statement is quiteuntrue. It looks to me like youhave not looked on the otherside of the matter. It's alwayseasy for someone who does notparticipate in a sport to scorn it.

If the people that are so inter-ested in getting revenge for thisincident would be willing towork with the interested and ser-ious hunter and the Rod and GunClub. I'm sure this might bringsome results as far as some sortof legislation on this matter oflegalized killing of human's go.

I would like to see rifles kepton Salt Spring as there is still alot of good hunting area on theisland.

The Salt Spring team wonthis game against Mill Bay in acomfortable fashion based ontheir defensive strength, in agame where the forwards seemedunable to carve clear a cutchances for themselves. An ex-ception was Gary Bogdanovichon the right wing who proved aconstant threat to Mill Bay.Paddy Taylor was the strong manin the defense whilst Carl Kitch-en played in his usual construct-ive way, prompting many of theSalt Spring attacks, with short ^_accurate passers.

On this point I will para-phrase a comment made by ascientist about the U.S. AtomicEnergies Commission. "Stan-dards for'protecting the publicfrom pollution are becoming lic-ences to pollute to the limit ofthe standards" — and Mr. Loff-mark and us rank and file "com-mon man" folk, are trying toget higher standards, and getthem adhered to

How interesting it is that Mr.Loffmark is receiving criticismfor being a conscientious minist-er of health!

This criticism comes fromsome of those commercial enter-prises and their supporters, andmunicipalities, whose financialinterests will be interfered with,if Mr. Loffmark's efforts to mit-igate the pollution problem aresuccessful.

Those of us who are anti-pollution recognize the problemas one that effects, primarily,the health and welfare of ours-elves and others , the future,and the total environment. Weare commending Mr. Loffmark,even though his proposals are notas strict as we could wish.

Getting into trouble for doinga job conscientiously is not new.

THEY WILL NOT GROW OLDIn retrospect, it hardly seems

to have happened 50 years ago,nor, even, for the second time,23 years ago, but so it is.

To many of us this was ourdaily life. It was the warfare ofreality, not that of the storybooks. It was warfare that rarelyhad glamour, but the dismalstick-in-the-mud trench warfarein almost intolerable conditions,wet through, lousy, with a hand-ful of Bully and Dog Biscuits(strangely enough called, "Foodfor Troops") and, if one waslucky enough to own a bougie ortwo, a drum-up of char (tea) ina dixie. The war carried on foralmost three years before thecookhouse reached reserve lines.

Again, in 1939, a repeat per-formance.

The trenches had largely gone,but the discomforts of a mobilewar were hardly less than thoseof a static war. Many of yourparents and grandparents enduredthese things, discomfort, filth,the strafing, wounds, disease andoften, death, to the end thatyou may live your life in greaterpeace than had been their lot.

if there ever was, except in thestory books, but the necessity todefend the right will always re-main, and will ask of men, andof women, all the courage andfortitude that is theirs to give toperform this defence.

This 50th Remembrance Daybrings these memories back toour minds. Most who fought werenot professional soldiers; theywere civilians who took up armsto defend a cause and a way ofi i i i i i i i i i i i imii i i i i i imii i i imii i i i i i i i i i iHii i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i imii i i i i i i i iMii

life dear to us, for ourselves andthose who follow us, and that iseach one of you.

It is 1100 hours, November1918, and the bugles sound a callrarely heard off the range," Cea se Fire".

The first had died on thenight of August 4 - 5 , 1914- aschool friend of mine went downwith his ship, HMS "Amphion"that night - and a recent articlein DRIFTWOOD concerned onewho was killed in action at 1058hours, two short minutes beforethe bugle call and safety. Inbetween those dates many, manythousands more went west. As Iwrite I vivedly remember a massgrave in the Labyrinth (Arras sec-tor) . It was another plain whitewooden cross, one of many thous-ands which decorated the countryside.. ."Gi-git quarante-neufZouaves"

We who survived this Hell asktwo things of you on this 50thanniversary. Say a prayer forthe repose of the souls of thosewho died... they died for you...and give as generously as youcan for their descendants, andthose who remain.

The Poppy is sold for two rea-sons. Its colour reminds you ofthe blood that was shed for you.It's sale benefits those who stillremain, and are in need, andtheir dependants.

Its purpose is now being ex-tended by the Royal Canadian

Legion to assist the manyveterans who served in armiesrecruited in what we now callthe Emerging Countries. Theirown countries are too poor tohelp them but they did help us.Some of these regiments arewell known.

Perhaps the best known arethose who served with the RoyalGhurka Rifles. There were manyothers to whom no V. C's wereawarded, whose regiments gain-ed no battle honours, but whospent many weary years sloggingthrough the mud of Ypres, pack-ing seemingly impossible loadsof duckboards, barbed wire andother impedimenta of war, themen of the Chinese and TibetanLabour Corps, to mention two.They did endure the discomfortto make it a little easier for usin the line.

Is it too much to ask allCanadians on this 50th anniver-sary so spend at least a minute •to remember them? As is saidat each Legion meeting :

" They shall grow not old, aswe that are left grow old,

Age shall not weary them,nor the years condemn,

At the going down of the sun,and in the morning,

We will remember them"Give them the compliment

paid by a famous French Generalat Le Morte Homme, near Ver-dun, where the whole regimentwas either dead or wounded inthe defence of this vital spot"Salute the glorious dead .

BASTION TOURINGCOMPANY

Bastion Touring Company, ofVictoria, came in to Galiano Is-land on Friday, November 2,and again the Hall was packedto see and hear their two presen-tations.

Coming on the morning ferryfrom Victoria, they went towork immediately to set thestage for their afternoon perfor-mance, unloading their bigtruck, and renewing acquaint=ances with members of the HallClub who were on hand to wel-come them.

Tom Carolan made themsome of his famous clam chowd-er for lunch, which they ate onthe fly, and all was ready forthe musical adaption, both wordsand music written by Klarge Ad-elberg, of "Little Red RidingHood :

"Once upon a time, in a place •called Culpeppuh County, therewas a Cypress woods, owned byColonel Wilbuh Wolfe, he rai-sed cane, and was as happy as aswamp alligator except for onething " and so the sceneis set for this "Southern style"version of the well-known tale.

Little Red Riding Hood wasplayed by Gini Lefever, Colon-el Wolf by Bill Hosie, others inthe cast were; Marge Bridge-man, Tom Cox, Margaret Mar-tin, Gina Bigelow, and BarryFlatman.

Charles Harper is the stagemanager, and he worked hardall of the afternoon to preparefor the evening performance.

"School For Wives" was amusical adaption by Marge Ad-elberg from the 17th centuryMoliere play, directed by PeterMannering.

This rousing version kept the.audience in roars of laughterwith the antics of the innocentlittle lady, Agnes, played byGina Bigelow, who is supposedto marry an old bachelor, M 01-sieur Arnolphe, played by BillHosie, but falls in love with thehandsome younger man, Horace,played by Barry Flatman.

Madame Christolphe, playedby Marge Bridgeman, tells the

old bachelor that all women de-ceive their husbands sooner orlater but the old bachelor issure that the lady he marrieswill never deceive HIM. Littledoes he know that she is not yeteven his betrothed, and has fall-en in love with the son of hisoldest friend, Horace.

The two servants, Alfred andGeorgette, were played by TomCox and Margaret Martin, andthe little lady who was the maidto Madame Christolphe, GiniLefever, really was superb.

Piano was played by the Mus-ical Director, Marge Adelberg,and it was such a pleasure tohear the many songs woven intothe play done so magnificentlyby the professional and pleasingvoices, now one, now two, andnow the whole cast. Bill Hosieand Gina Bigelow did one duetthat was especially well-receiv-ed.

This group works hard and sin-cerely to bring these two music-als, plus two more, to manyplaces on Vancouver Island, theinterior of B.C., the Okanagan,the Kootenays, and the State ofWashington, U.S.A. It is am-azing to see how they rememb-er their many parts apiece, andnever make a mistake; thiscould only be done by the prof-essionals they are. From Galia-no, the tour will continue onVancouver Island. Costumesfor these productions are magni-ficent, the long lace and satingowns, and elegant hats, adm-ired by all.

I have indeed now and then alittle compunction in reflectingthat I spend time so idly; butanother reflection comes to re-lieve me, whispering, "Youknow that the soul is immortal ;why then should you be such aniggard of a little time when youhave a whole eternity before you '-you?" So, being easily convincedand like other reasonable creat-ures, satisfied with a small reasonwhen it is in favor of doing whatI have a mind to, I shuffle thecards again and begin anothergame.

Flying Baha'i^" ^*^^ From Peace River Block Nev

Fletcher Bennett, 38. of SaltSpring Island B.C. has a growingreputation as Canada's "FlyingBaha'i"

His float-equipped yellowCessna 180 is becoming a com-mon sight to remote Indiansettlements of the British Colum-bia coast and northern Canada.

In his capacity as a memberof the Indian Teaching Commit-tee of the Baha'i faith, he flewsome 24,000 miles last yeariandsince 1962 when he first began

J 'A c o m p l e t e Rea l E s t a t e S e r v i c e on S a l t s p r i n g jand the other Islands is now available through

DOUGLAS HAWKES LTD

From

his total involvement witn tnereligion he has flown an estimat-ed 100 000 bush miles.

But he doesn't consider him-self a missionary.

He believes in letting enthu-iastic Indians teaching Indians ofthe faith and merely considershimself and his aircraft as acommunications facility.

Although he is himself well-educated in theology and has animpressive personality, he pre-fers to let the Indians spread thefaith among themselves.

His methods are effective.Although the Baha'i religion

is less than 65 years old in Can-ada, approximately 1,000 ofthe 4,000 believers are Indians.

The religion is based on codesof social justices and he statesthat it is surprisingly similar tothe original beliefs of the nativ-es.

Last week Mr. Bennett madehis second trip to this city. A-long with Mr. Clarrence Tibbettsand Jim Walton, a Thlingit Ind-ian from Sitka, Alaska, theyvisited Indian settlements atKelly Lake and Moberly Lake.

During their visits in the sett-lements, Mr. Walton tells thestory of the Baha'i as he knows itwhile Mr. Bennett conducts aside-show presentation.

While visiting Kelly Lake, asettlement located some 25 min-utes flying time south of the citya schoolroom was used for themeeting.

Some 17 adults along withmany of the school children att-

ended the presentation and, asMr. Bennett put it . . . "Younever know what may come ofit."

SATURNASEEN BY PAPAJOHN

Last Sunday a .m. we watch-ed a truly beautiful SUNRISEfrom Lady Minto Hospital. Iwould like to thank all thosewho sent me cards while I wasthere. One I tried on the doorbut the darling nurses are a weebit astute. I got the biggest oneI ever saw from Hope Bay Nurs-ery. Ye Editor is in error, I did-n't entertain while in L . M . H . ,I was entertained as after allyou just can't make too manycracks about a hemorrhoid oper-ation, but that doesn't stop youfrom thinking them.

Was sorry to see Uncle ArtRalph last Sunday a.m. withhis battered nose but his wit wasstill o.H . as he ambled in andasked me how my tonsils were.

The nose is healing fine alreadyand he will be able to take upthe collection in church thisa.m. We were both amused atthe number of people whothought Popajohn was Uncle Art.Best compliment I ever got.

Things are normal here athome. Benny Begon and Al Kerrhave been over on Salt Springall week demolishing the Pozz-alan Plant. Their wives at homeneedn't worry as they are toobusy to get into any mischief.

There is a new man at yeShale Plant. H. Davis, who, Iunderstand, has his First Aid Cer-tificate. Will be glad to meethim and welcome him to ourfair Island as someone with amodern certificate will sure be abig asset.

Jim and Louisa Gal Moneyhave been over to V incouver tothe Social Credit Conventionand a few hours visiting daughterblushing Betty and Bob Pedersenand of course the grandchildren.

By the time you read thisebullient Edie Whiting will havehad to leave the comforts ofLady Minto and come home tolonesome George, her hub, whohas been doing pretty fair whileyou were away, Edie!

We got Hallowe'en with it's"Trick or treats" away withUncle Art treating all the fairladies with a kiss. We can't fig-ure out yet whether that is atrick or a treat. Never the lessUncle Art says it took his mindoff his sore nose.

Re the recent voteon Hospitals'1for our Regional District, am in-clined to believe that the highaffirmative vote was due to thepresent goodwill that both theLady Minto and our group of doc-tors enjoy. They should take abow for this well deserved com-pliment to their abilities.

We wish to extend our sym-pathy to Hilda Crosby, of EastPoint, who lost her mother last

week. In a few weeks shewould have been 95 years of age

Another sad note this week,Bob Sleeves has gone into hospit-al for, we hope, a not too ser-ious operation. Will give every-one further news next week andwish Bob all the luck we can.

BRIDGELesson No. 7: OvercallsOvercalls are the most difficult

bids in the auction. With open-ing bids and responses one usesthe point count but not so withovercalls. High cards meanmuch less than playing strengthwhen overcalling. A13-14pointhand on which one would openthe bidding could make a verypoor overcall, whereas a distrib-utional hand with eight to tenpoints could make an excellentovercall. Many players get theidea that they must overcall ifthey have the equivalent of anopening bid. Do not be tooready to jump into the biddingunless you have something worth

"~mentioning. Overcalls are usu-ally made for one of three reas-ons - (a) a lead-directing bid;(b) may jam the bidding of theopponents and (c) the possibilityof reaching game or getting partscore. Vulnerability is very im-portant; overcalls are often doub-led and vulnerable penalties canmount up. Do not make over-calls with 4-card suits or broken-down 5-card suits. If the over-call is at the level of one there

by ALICE HAMMETT

is less likelihood of being doub-led and, if it is doubled, partnermay be able to rescue. To tryand rescue a two-level bid doub-led is dangerous and invariablyends in the rescuer being doubled

When partner overcalls do notrespond as though it were an op-ening bid. Also, do not changethe suit, unless it is somethingworthwhile and you are preparedto be left in it. Unlike the res-ponse to an opening bid, tochange the suit is not forcing.Theovercaller should have at least afive-card suit and if you havesome values then support thatsuit. If partner were interestedin your best suit he would havedoubled to get this information.Doubles and redoubled will betaken care of in the next lesson.

There is the question of thejump overcall (bidding one morethan necessary). It is a matterof agreement between partnerswhether this should be taken fora strong bid or a weak one. Thenthere is the double jump overcallThis is a pre-emptive bid, i.e.length without strength. (Pre-emptive bids will also be takenup later).
