EDITORIALOne morning,not long ago, as the morning mist hung in

the Fulford Valley and obscured Isabella Point, we wereforced (much against our principles) to rise before dawn tocatch the 6:30 ferry to Swartz Bay.

Feeling much too grumpy and disgruntled at being forcedto make this trip at such an unapglatable hour, we were outwith the first rooster crow, our thermos of coffee under onearm and an orange under the other.

Daylight was just thinking of making its entry when wedrove onto the "Salt Spring Queen", the two other earlytravellers were evidently taking advantage of the ferry runfor that extra morning nap so essential to the "haters of morn-ing" group.

We were about ready to do the same, when the Captaincame aboard. It was because he seemed so cheerful that oureyes pried themselves open to see if we could find out why.Surprised, we noticed that the rest of the crew was equallycheerful. As they went busily about the ferry, making readyto leave, they were all quite happy looking, chatting witheach other. The captain made the rounds and, although nolaughter was heard, a feeling of good-fellowship seemed tofollow him.

The moral to this story is that we say thank you to the crewfor making the morning seem brighter and the trip less arduous rsimply because of their attitude of acceptance and evidentenjoyment of that early morning trip. If you hate mornings,it's worth the trip just to discover it can'tall be bad, whenso many men can be cheerful about it. Like us, you may evenwaken enough to enjoy the beauty of the dawn.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *GUEST EDITORIAL: Last Sunday night faithful followers andsupporters of the CBC and their standard of excellence inboth radioandTV had a second shock in a week. Last Mon-day the TV coverage of the election was very poor. On Sun-daythespot formerly occupied by the late lamented "Close-Up" was usurped by a program whose purpose was supposedlyto show and interpret modern London.

This program was loosely titled, "Seeing London withElizabeth Taylor", or something like that. One wonderedon hearing the previews of the show just what connectionMiss Taylor had with a program purporting to interpret London.

On seeing the performance we were even more mystified,confused, and increasingly annoyed. It became more andmore obvious during the first few minutes of the show thatthe whole deal was not to show London but to display thevery doubtful talents of Miss Taylor as a travel'guidV andinter preter of the second largest metropolis in the world.It was an abysmal failure.

Miss Taylor may well fit nicely on a Roman couch as themistress of some Roman General and in between times do theround of the popular London pubs but this does not make heranything like the best choice as the guide to London. Forour part we got as far as seeing her try to recite Brownings"How Do I Love Thee?", when our stomachs gave out andwe rushed over to turn the darn thing off before we gotviolently ill.

Do we have to do without "Close-Up" for this clap-trap?* * * * * -• * •.'.- * * * * * * * * * * * ' * * * * * * *

LETTERS-TO-THE EDITOR"Dear Editor: Lest there be any doubt in the minds of evena few island residents about the attitude of the CanadianLegion towards the Canadian Institute for the Blind, may Ioffer a few words — unofficially?

Among the first battle casualties returned to Canadafrom the first world war were some blinded veterans;and whenan organization was formed (the G.W.V.A., fore-runnerof the present Canadian Legion) their first and fonthought was the welfare of their blinded comrades,combined efforts spear-headed an agitation for pensidTWorthe blind, which was subsequently expanded very properlyto include all civilian blind; and as is well known, variousbenefits for blind Canadians of all categories have been \initiated and/or extended. All these betterments have beenvigorously and purposefully backed by the Canadian Legion.Col. E.A.Baker, O BE, for years president of the C .N. I .B.and the prime mover in its formation, has always had theheartiest co-operation of the Legion in all respects, and inpublic appeals for funds the C.N.I.B. has always had theirfullest support.

Wisely,the first returned war veterans recognized at theoutset that they should not attempt to set up, or duplicate,the numerous special services that are needed for blind per-sons, insisting that it was the primary duty of the federalgovernment, supported by strong public sentiment, to providewhatever was needed, and on a liberal scale. That Legionpolicy has never been moderated—for we are proud to haveour war-blinded comrades in our ranks.

So that is why, when the annual tag day for the blindcomes around, you will see members of the Legion and itswonderful Ladies'Auxiliary "doing their bit." Perhaps in theminds of all our war veterans who saw combat service on land,sea or air, the truth of a familiar saying arises "There, butfor the grace of God, go I." Thanks for this space in thespace age.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *"Dear Editor: I wondered if you could put me in touch witha man who collects military relics. Some time ago perhapsyou remember a Canon Ball was found on one of the beaches.The paper stated that it had been given too man who collectsthese things but I have forgotten the name and I have afew small curios in that line that came from Fort Henry King-ston, Ont., a few Grape Shot fuses and etc. that I wouldgive him if he'd like them. I would write to him if I had hisaddress and name. Can you help? Yours sincerely,John S.Rogers. (Signed)."

You will notice that the School Buses have all theirlights on, so that people can see us, but cars without lightswe cannot see them, neither can the children whowaiting on the side of the road for the School Bus.

I would like to emphasize that driving without Mg'rTrT'inthe Fog is a very dangerous habit and could someday endup in an accident.

To dothis,they must hit the targeton 20 yard line with a .22sporting rifle while in a proneposition.

We want to give creditto the wonderful instructor,Mr. A.W. Wolfe-MiIner forhis remarkable achievementwith the boys.

But perhaps there areother mothers feelinglike me. You see, now thesame boys are out i n the woodshunting with shotguns andrifles, "bring!n1 home thebacon", even if sometimes itturns out to be a cutout tail

of a raccoon or the tick fil-led tail of a deer.

My own son had givenmany hints that he, too,should be given the same pri-vilege. Recently said songot his mother walking upcertain steps and there ithappened! Trying to smile,mother took a long deep breathas she announced to the manbehind the counter, "Here isone more hunter for you. "

My son took his crumpled$5. bill from his tight bluejeans. To the question, "Howtall are you?", the answerwas uncertain.The man cheer-fullysaid, "Never mind, youare taller than me". "Livedin B.C. how long?" (Usuallythe question here is "Howlong have you been on .S.S. I.?)The red tape through I signedmy name on the dotted line,with the thought that my sonhad reached manhood and nowbelongs to the world.

In my heart I said goodbye to my once so preciousbaby. Seeing the red tapeending. I took leave with ahorrible feeling that I hadsigned my son away from me.As I walked away,. I heard

The fall quarterly meetingof St. Mark's Chancel Guildwas held on Wednesday, Oct-ober 2,at the lovely lakesidehome of the President, Mrs. C.Springford. There were six-teen members present. Theminutes of the previous meet-ing were read by the Secretary,Mrs. Nicholson, who alsoread a very amusing and de-lightful letter from one of themost-beloved and long-timemembers of the Guild - Mrs.G. Young, who sustained ahip fracture in May of thisyear but who is now, we arehappy to report, almost com-pletely recovered.

Mrs. Springford thankedthe members who had sosuccessfully convened theSt. Mark's stall at the AnnualFete at Harbour House inJuly. Since the last meetingthe Guild has lost a dearfriend and generous patroninthelate Dr. W. MacAlli-ster - the Guild is hoping toplace a lasting memorial tothe doctor in St. Mark'sChurch at a later date. Mem-bers were reminded that theGuild would not be runningthe fortnightly Bridge in the'arish Hall this year. Plans

are being made to purchasean Altar Book and to send adonation to the TheologicalCollege.

* * * * * * * * * * *TWO MEN WENT A-FISHINGFOR TO CATCH A-6KATE?

by Bea HamiltonThe Rector and a Church

Warden went a fishing.That was last week. Mr.

Eric Faure took the Rev. S.J. Leech out in his launchand they fished for soles orcod, (Soles sounds more inkeeping with the Church).However,they did not catch

what they went for but theydid hook several huge Skate.

One was too heavy toweigh in on the scales andthey guessed it at about a

hundred pounds. The otherwas smaller, and they lostseveral. They were fishingbetween Russell Island andSalt Spring, in deep water,using a jig. (And that's whenan Irish Jig turned into aSkater's Waltz I one mightsay.)

Some of the skate waltzedinto the freezer and the fisher-men are very proud of theirday's fishing. They say a partof the skate is most edible.(I'll take their word for it I)

If you are thinking oftrying your skiII at catchingskate ,watch out for that wick-ed tail - it could do a lot ofdamage if it made contactwith an arm or a leg. Weheard that it took three mento land that monster that was

F T W O O D

caught, but didn't hear whothe third man was.Eric Faurewent out again the next dayand came in with a large RedSnapper and a cod, so there'slots of fish if you go a-jigging,

ATTENTION-EMPLOYERS WHO HIRE WORKMEHFOR FULL OR PART-TIME WORKThe Workmen's Compensation Act of B.C. requires employers in

most industries to register with the Workmen's Compensation

Board. This includes persons operating small businesses such as

retail stores, apartment houses, trucking, restaurants, etc., where

one or more employees are hired for either full or part-time work.

If an employee in an industry covered under the Act sustains an

accident and his employer is not registered with the Board the

employee is still entitled to Workmen's Compensation benefits, but

his employer may be charged with all of the cost of such benefits.

Anyone in doubt as to whether he must register should write

or telephone—
