A week ago Monday,theSaltspring Public Library open-ed the doors of its new build-ing on McPhi I lips Avenue.In the words of R.L.Davison,Superintendent of the Provin-cial Public Library Commis-sion, "Few libraries haveachieved so much in so shorta time."

On the Tuesday following,twenty-one students from theSaltspring School, in theirlunch hour, visited the libraryand borrowed books. Theadults were not far behind.

To accomplish this, theLibrary was born and has beensustained by contributionsfrom the community and thework of volunteers. Now itfaces a crisis. During 1964the Li brary wi 11 need $2,000.to pay for outstanding debtsand to cover operating costs.

The library receives$300.00 annually from theProvincial Library Commissionfor the purchase of new booksonly. Except for a grant of$350.00,which went towards

T W O O D >cthe purchase of new equipment,the Saltspring Library is onits own financially. It seeksthe support of local businessfirms and individuals in thisyear and in the future.

Please be generous now.Men and women liveand die,but a good book lives for-ever.

EDITORIALNoted in a Victoria paper last week was an article on

metro nursing service. This home care nursing service easeshospital loads, cutting 2,000 'hospital days' from crowdedhospitals. It is supplied at no charge by Greater Victoria

Metropolitan Board of Health.Such a service may be a bit ambitious for our small com-

munity. Even so, during this recent flu epidemic,some sortof home maker service could have helped many people.

On the Island we have a great many elderly retired people.Add to these the additional numbers who live by themselves.Under such circumstances a debilitating attack of f\Uf wifh

accompanying high temperature, dizziness, nausea and othersuch symptoms, can be a cause for alarm.

This is an illness that is best kept out of hospital. But atthe same time, it is serious enough to make if difficult forpeople to care for themselves. It is an effort for them to pre-pare their food, take their medicine or look after heating.

Sometimes the effort is almost too great to bother.In cases like this, it would relieve the onorous duties

of the doctors and be of great help to the patient if therewere a volunteer corps of home makers who could be called

by the doctor to assist in a home where illness has left peoplewith inadequate care. The volunteers would not even needto be nurses. A nurses aide or home nursing course wouldtrain them to make a patient comfortable at home,be surethe patient has something to eat and is warm.

We are sure the friendly people of Salt Spring Island could

capably organize and put into effect such a helpful servicefor their neighbours.

as "money",On Monday night the Garry Moore show had a clever

rebuttal "The Cockroaches "/Americas answer to the Beatles,'proved to be an equally obnoxious, though much funnier andmore entertaining group.

' W6 R*D*S* 6 F *l N*S P I*R*A* 16 N*I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore

with loving-kindness have I drawn thee." Jeremiah 31:3.If ever human love was tender, and self-sacrificing/and

devoted; if ever it could bear and forbear; if ever it couldsuffer gladly for its loved ones;if ever it was willing to pouritself out in lavish abandonment for the comfort or pleasureof its objects;then infinitely more is Divine love tender, andself-sacrificing,and devoted, and glad to bear and forbear ,and to suffer, and to lavish its best of gifts and blessingsupon the objects of its love.

Put together all the tenderest love you know of, thedeepest you have ever felt, and the strongest that has everbeen poured out upon you, and heap upon it all the loveof all the loving human hearts in the world, and then multiplyit by infinity, and you will begin, perhaps, to have somefaint glimpse of what the love of God is. H.W.S.

LETTERS -TO -THE EDITOR"Dear Editor: Skimming through my copy of the Driftwoodafter school today I happened to notice an overly-familiarname-that of Wayne Sober. I read his letter to the Editortwice then decided to write you. This has a dual purpose: Itexpresses my views on the "Driftwood" and it saves me fromwriting Wayne. I refuse to let my brother get away with hisremarks, as they might be mistaken for a family opinion."Driftwood" isalwaysas welcome to me as letters from home.I always make time to read it so I can keep informed withrecent Island events. I think it is an accurate and informativecompilation of island news. It makes me stop and think ofpeople, and my associations with them: and places, and myexperiences there. It brings home so much nearer.

If my brother continues to have such a limited amount ofappreciation I would suggest you cancel his sub-scription.(signed) Yours truly, Marcia Sober."

Miss Hamilton this week commiserates with England forhaving spawned the Beatles. These unkempt,bushy haired"bugs"wereperformers on the Ed Sullivan Show last Sunday.Perhaps for their type of performance, they are good. We arenot an adequate judge of that.

However,when the MC on an international TV Show appearsto be apprehensive in case a riot should break out in thestudio, we question the wisdom of sponsoring such a group.Wh?>n adulation of a group of entertainers requires a hundredpoliceman to keep the audience in control, we wonder if it

is very healthy entertainment.But perhaps Sullivan, like the Beatles, thinks of success

"Afire early Tuesday morning burned an historic old land-mark to the ground. Fortunately, the Ernie Lowe family whowere living at the old Bullock house escaped uninjured. Butas happens so often when there is a fire in the middle of thenighty Ernie and Brenda just managed to get themselves and.fieir four children out of the burning house before they wererapped by flames.

They got out but were unable to save even one completeet of clothing.The Lowes were taken to the home of Chester

Reynolds for what remained of the night.Donations of clothing and household items will be wel-

comed so they are able to get started again in a home of theirown as soon as possible. Salt Spring Lands will accept do-nations and Bill's Taxi will see that the family gets them.

Gail is 13, takes a size 11 clothing; Joan and Christiege 9 and 10, take shoe sizes 13 and 1; Mark about 7 yearsakes size 6 clothes.

Strangely enough, the Lowes saved only one householditem. They had loaned a TV set to a friend-so they start off

ith pajamys and a TV set. If you can help, please sendour donations to the Salt Spring Lands office as soon asossible.

T h u r s d a y , F e b r u a r yIN THE HOUSE

by David Stupich,M. L.A.February 7th, 1964.The frist two weeks of

this Session are completed.The Throne Speech has beenadopted on the Premier'sschedule. And, as Mr.Wil-liston said in his wind-upyesterday, the new. membersare now and only now full-fledged participants in thisarena. We have gone throughall of the formalities and,most nerve-wracking of all,we have made our maidenspeeches.

Since a good deal ofwhat I said in my ThroneSpeech contribution has beenreferred to in the variousnewspapers I thought I wouldcomment only briefly on it.Myaim inthiscolumn general-ly is to tell about the littlethings that don't make bignews.

Our own members whohave been here for a longtime have been taking thenew ones around, introducingthem to various departmentheads and to the building it-

J self. I stiM nonage to getconfused in the various cor-ridors—there are no less than

13th , 1964 D R I Fdeal about the inner workingsof every one of his depart-ments. This in spite of thefact that one of them wasonly recently assigned to himand all of them are quiteheavy.

I was disappointed in thecontribution made by theHon. Ray Wi I listen who con-cluded the Debate. He hada lot of good material in hisspeech and his delivery wasgood but his attitude towardsthe Opposition was extremelyvicious. It seemed all themore so after having heardMr. Kiernan just a few days

before that.The N. D. P. voted against

the final motion adopting theThrone Speech.At the begin-ning of the Debate Mr. Stra-chan moved an amendmentcomplaining that the ThroneSpeech showed no indicationthat the Government wasprepared to take any realaction on the welfare prob-lems so much before us thesedays.

The main criticism of theOpposition, Liberals and N.D,P. alike, is not that theGovernment is spending toolittle but rather that it is not

four stairways leading up to spending wisely. In fairnessour caucus rooms,for example, to the Government I must say

the week RandDurina the weekHarding introduced me toseveral members of the staffof the Department of Wel-fare—in part on behalf ofconstituents and in part tobroaden my education of theDepartment's activities.I also had occasion to call onthe Motor Vehicles Branchand found,as in other visits,that civil servants are mostco-operative when its withintheir power to help.

I think perhaps the mostnotable contribution to theThrone Speech Debate on theGovernment side was that ofthe Hon. Kenneth Kiernan,

Minister-of three separatedepartments. He spoke frombrief notes, spoke i nteresti ng -ly and obviously knew a great

that although they votedagainst the amendment, aswas expected. I do believethey are aware of this criti-cism and that studies arecurrently being started toimprove the situation.

On the last day of theDebate N. D.P. member AlexMacdonald moved a furtheramendment regretting thatthe Throne Speech did notpromise a comprehensivemedical care programme. TheLi bera Is moved a sub-amend-ment in favor of a plan whichwould only take up wherethe private plans have leftoff.

We were rather disap-pointed in their attitudebecause experience in otherprovinces would seem to in-

dicate that such an approachis quite unsatisfactory.

The Government, ofcourse,defeated this amend-ment but I think this is largelya matter of politics. I noticed
