TERS INSTITUTE OFFERSCOUGAR BOUNTY

Since the governmentgives no recognition to pri-vate hunters for the destruc-tion of cougar predators,the local branch of the Far-mer's Institute has incorpor-ated a bounty of $50.00 tobe paid to local hunters whoare successful in shootingcougar on the Island. Out-side donations toward thisproject will be gratefullyreceived by the Island Far-mers Institute.

A cheque from the Insti-tute was sent to Mr. BobAkerman at Fulford, in rec-ognition of the time and ex-pense spent in his very suc-cessful hunting ventures re-cenly, resulting in the kill-ing of three cougars. Thisdonation is to be dividedamong Mr. Akerman's hunt-ing partners at his own dis-cretion.MONTHLY WEATHER . . .

A THOUGHTTO REG PRICE

by Bea HamiltonWe seem to have known

Reg Price such a long timeand now that he has gone,he is going to be sadly miss-ed by not only his lovingfamily, but by his manyfriends on Saltspring Islandand elsewhere. But what awonderful way to go — outon the open green,enjoyinghis favourite pastime, golf,and then to slip away overthe hills and into a new life

Most of us know thatthere is more to life thanjust struggling through thisworldly existence, and weshould rejoice that our lov-ed onesand friends are freeand away from earthly ill-nesses and trials. When weshed tears, I think it is be-cause we miss them so,howcan we help it? But witheach tear that falls, oneshould send a Loving mess-age to help them on theirway. After all they havepassed the test and madethe great crossing andtheir's is the Victory.

FULFORD NEWS, by Bea Hamilton

Wei I,don't look at me!I didn't make it snow- I on-ly said the ground NEEDEDsnow. All the same, I don'tcall that stuff snow.

We noticed a fire burn-ing brightly on ReginaldHill last Saturday night.Everyone's a little puzzled.A little worried and tryingto figure out who wouldwant to light a fire to campin weather like this -unlesshe needed help? It is very

baffling.The little two month

old daughter of Mr .and MrsSteve La Fortune was namedShannon Christine at a pre-

tty christening ceremonyat the United Church onSunday. Rev.Norah Hughesofficiated and god-parentswere Mr. Wit I Lauof Duncanand Miss Charmaine Arms-trong of Victoria. The partythen went to the home of Mrand Mrs. Irl Brad ley for after-noon tea.

Members of the W.I.meet at the home of Mrs.E.Anderson at Beaver Point onThursday, December 8th, 2p.m. Don't forget to bringa gift for the Christmas Par-ty after the meeting.

Christmas ?My goodnessit's nearly here! Bob Aker-man is going to cut his treethis week. I heard someoneworrying the other day be-cause they could not seeany trees lying around theAkerman yard, so this is tocheer them up. Up to now,they have been pretty busywith cougars - three in aweek is quite a record.

The little Lacy's had awonderful time in the snowbefore it melted,they madesnowmen all over the placeand enjoyed every littlesnow flake. It is nice toknow someone appreciatedthe snow.

It was quite a party atSt.George's Hall, on Wed-nesday night, when thepeople went to meet the newRector, Rev. Dr. D. Horse-field and Mrs. Horsefield.His Reverence, FatherWm. Mudge was present andthe Rev.Norah Hughes, andArchdeacon G. H. Holmeiand Mrs. Holmes, of course,so there were lots ot goodpeople there.

The Burgoyne Bay ChurchWomen are holding theirAnnual Bazaar at INan'sCoffee Bar on Friday, Dec-ember 4th. This will be agood time to stock up onChristmas Gifts besides help-ing out this worthy cause^

P O L I C E N E W S . . .Floyd Barnes, Galiano,

was fined $10 and costs fordriving without lights.

Robert Ryder, Ganges,was fined $5.00 and costsfor driving with inadequatemuffler.

Mrs. Gertrude Snyderwas fined $5.00 and costsfor speeding in a schoolzone.

Paul Benedictson was

fined $50.00 and costs fordriving while his licensewas under suspension.

John Scoones reported$35.00 worth of liquor sto-len from his car at Vesuviuslast Sunday morning.

The case of Harold Fran-cis Jones, charged withcriminal negligence hasbeen set over until Decem-ber 15th.

Apparently there issome confusion about driv-ing regulations with respectto the new lines on ourmain highways. We are sor-ry we weren't clear in thismatter last week. We arenot alone though, as wefound the Motor VehicleAct also has some points ofconfusion in this respect.

We did learn thoughthat it is definitely againstthe law to pass or cross asolid double line whereverit appears on the highway.

It is also illegal to passwhen the solid line, appear-ing beside the dotted line,is in your lane.

What the legality is withrespect to the single solidline appears to be unclear.However, the interpretation

S a l t S p r i n g I s l a n d D R I F T W O O D P a y s 3

at present is that you passonly at your own risk andH/scretion .

When we get furtherclarification we shall passit on to our readers.

EDITORIALL E T ' S G E T T O G E T H E R

We reported in this paper last week the concern nowbeing felt by the Salt Spring Island Centennial Committeeover the choice of and support for a suitable Island Cen-tennial project. We know the committee is not alone inthis concern.

After all the very image of Canada's Centennial is tomark the anniversary of the historical event when the peo-ples then making their homes in Canada came together inone united nation. We imagine there were, at that time,many suspicions and misunderstandings that had to bedealt with and compromises found before Confederationwas finalized.

It would seem we fcce the same kind of challenge herein our tight little island.

The Committee has chosen a project that could proveto be a proud and worthy addition to the long list a comm-unity memorial that will be unveiled across the countryduring the Centennial year... .the Boat Basin Park. An-other group on South Salt Spring has indicated they wouldprefer to have their own project and have suggested animprovement to the Community Hall.

It is this paper's opinion that it would be a great mis-take for a community as small as ours to split off into twocentennial groups, each more or less going its own waywith the extremely limited resources that are at our dis-posal .

Our argument is not based on the possibility of drain-ing our small financial resources on two projects. It seemsto us this is a minor consideration.

The important question is whether or not this islandcommunity can put aside its small local desires and joinin one larger and more significant effort.

Also it is not that anyone idea in the community is thebest. We have heard a number of excellent suggestionsincluding the improvement to the hall at Fulford, butnone, we think, offers as much to all the island as theBoat Basin Park suggested by the Committee. It is clear-ly significant, appropos, and completely feasible.

This is not to say the suggestion to improve facilitiesat the Fulford Hall isnotimportantandnecessary.ltjust seems to us that this project might better be under-taken by the South Saltspring community, quite apartrrom the idea of centennial, and with the support of thewhole island, be completed before Centennial year.Weare sure such a campaign would be supported. So itshould be as this social facility is a necessity and fillsan important need for the whole island.

Don't you agree that our Centennial celebration hereon Salt Spring would be less meaningful if we find wecannot get together and actively support one projectthat would reflect an "all island" effort?

ARE YOU A SAFE D R I V E R ?This is National Safety Week, sponsored by. the

Canadian Highway Safety Council across the country.Always on the same date each year, the object of thecamryign is to bring vividly to the attention of driversthat, in their vehicles on the road, the lives of manyother people rest in their hands.

We have just received a release from this group whomake a study of highway accidents and their causes eachyear.

This year's report is a dismal and alarming picture ac-cording to the following facts. The report states thattraffic accidents are up 28% over last year. Injuries topeople are up 25% and property damage figures are in-creased by 29%. The above figures represent only the

S a l t S p r i n g I s l a n dfirst eight months of this year!

There are as many suggested causes for this sad stateof affairs as there are so-called "experts" in the field.One such expert, the Honorable Phil Gaglardi, Ministerof Highways, took up considerable time on TV Mondayevening to rail against the liquor advertisers as the causeof all our troubles here. I'm glad he couldn't see mefeeling sicker by the minute as he, of all people, sug-gested you should not 'over-drive1 (vhatever that means)the highway you're travelling or your driving skill.

Just to participate on the "expert"band wagon, it israther astonishing to us that so many of these analystsseem to ignore an important aspect of this increasinglyalarming problem.

One is the fact that comparatively little has eitherbeen said or even suggested that the present trend towardbigger, longer cars with multiplying carburetors deliv-ering frightening instant power might just be one impor-tant cause. Stir into this lethal mixture dozens of emo-tionally immature or inexperienced drivers and the fuseis lit for greater and more shocking highway tragedies.

Who has ever suggested that the modern automobilemanufacturer and his advertising department might sharea small bit of responsibility for the present sad record onour highways? Witness the increasing trend in such ad-vertising to pressure people into believing the automobilesupplies a host of human needs running the gamut from sexto success. One such advertiser blatantly suggests that,"You can drive this car as though you hate it!" This,af-ter a one-minute TV demonstration of a classic exampleof reckless and stupid driving down a narrow dusty road.

And we haven't said anything yet about liquor. Not_ that we think it has no bearing but only because we think

it provides a handy smokescreen behind which some of theabove important trends can be largely ignored.

Maybe a current experiment now being conducted us-ing IBM computers to test potential dangerous drivers mayshed some light on it.

1 hope we may be forgiven if we suggest the automo-bile ought not to be bar God b'ut our servant; to be soldpurely as a means of transportation . . . nothing more.* * * * * * _ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Dear Editor - "Whilst we are agog at the World-shakingnews, garnered by Driftwood's indefatigable newshounds,that Billy Buster braved the billows to visit Vancouver,orThat Winnie Winkle wandered among the wild woods ofBeaver Point, we seem to be left unmoved at the prospectof losing our heritage.

If we can believe Senator Arthur Roebuck, whom Iknew in Toronto years ago, as a mere young lawyer with afondness for a good story;should the Senate turn down theBank Charter desired by a certain "Cec" Bennett, thenhe, in umbrage, might separate us from Confederationand hand us holus bolus to our neighbours across the line.

Well, well! So the idea that B.C. belongs to Bennettseems to be gaining ground in Ottawa. There may be acertain -amount of excuse for their belief, but I suggestthat we, the residents of this fair Province, might find itworth while to point out that we are not merely pawns inany man's political games, and that the time comes whenany solution has to be admonished 'Hold! Enough!"

D R I F T W O O D P a a e 4BEAVERS IN THE

LAURENT IANSby F.H.A. Collins

During a month or sospent this past summer in theLaurentians 1 saw plenty ofsigns of beaver life.LacauxCastors (Beaver Lake) is ap-propriately names. There isnot a stream in the surround-ing forests that has not beendammed by beavers. "Ex-ploring" trails to distantlakes I was constantly cut offby beaver swamps and theonly way across was over adam. These dams snakedback and forth anchored frompoint to point and some wereas far as I could judge, upto two hundred yards long.

I had already seen abeaver lake gradually siltingupand inthisarea I stumbledacross a meadow far advan-ced in the long process ofconversion from beaverswampto fertile field. It was spon-gy and wet but solid enoughto walk upon, consistingmainly of thick moss andlaurel. It also contained theinsect devouring pitcher,plant and there were spruceand tamarack springing up.

The area consists of sandfine grey clay and rock muchof it on gently slopingground but farther back thereare steep cliffs. Sugar map-les predominate. There arealso beech, white pine, firsilver birch, mountain ash,(rowan), red maple, bass-wood, black ash and manyothers.

But I didn't see a singlebeaver. I guess I'm tooclumsy.

Cover the still beauty of the dead summer, Love,Chant the last litany, cease now your weeping;

The wind has arisen to welcome the snow harlotsCresting the hilltop

See how their white garments flutter around them,Snaring the innocent song of the wind, Love;

How can the wind know the ice of their loveliness,Slow to destruction?

Weep for the wind, Love, ensnared by the harlots,Ice underneath their white garments of snow;

Weep for the wind lying still on the mountain,Broken - his lyre.

How dear to our hearts; is the steady subscriber

Who pays in advance at the birth of each year

Who lays down the money and does it quite gladly

And casts round the office a halo of cheer

He never says: "Stop it; I cannot afford it,

I'm getting more papers than now I can read;"

But always says; "Send it; our people all like it -

In fact, we all think it a help and a need.

How welcome his cheque when it reaches our sanctum.

AJ. "POP" EATONRETIRES AFTER 41 YEARS

A.J. "Pop" Eaton goes

to work as Postmaster at the

local post office for the last

time today.ti

After some 41 years of ||

entually burned down, as

did its predecessor on the

same site. The original

first hotel at this point, Pop

recalls, was the "toughest

pub on earth", and was

known from San Francisco

an Assistant Postmaster to

Mrs. Jane Mouat who was

postmistress prior to 1936.

He succeeded this lady as

postmaster during that year.

He received his 25 year

long-service badge three

years ago. At one time he

was supervisor of all Gulf

Islands offices for six years.

In that capacity he visited

all the Islands regularly.

He says his chronic

service to this community [ to Alaska.

in the post office he leaves He served originally as

his position with a great

deal of nostalgia and many

memories of the develop-

ment of postal service on

the Island over almost four

decades.

He remembers, for ex-

ample, when the old Prin-

cess Mary used to bring the

mail in once a week. Some-

times she didn't arrive un-

til after 10 p.m. Then the

mail would have to be sor-

ted and delivered to vari-

ous small offices around

the Island. Often the work

didn't finish until after 3

a.m. Many times, he says,

he has put in 16 to 18 hours

steady work without a

break.Pop has seen many changes

come and go in the postal

service. He started in on

postal work away back in

1923 in the hotel-store and

small post office, once lo-

cated at the head of Fulford

Harbour. This building ev-

problem over his whole ca-

reer has been trying to track

down addresses where no

address has been written.

Getting unstamped mai I un-

tangled and becoming quite

skilled in recognizing theowners of mail by their

handwriting.

He has just returned

from nine weeks holiday,

saved up from his term of

office and required to be

taken before retirement. He

spent it near Kamloops where

he says he gets much relief

from.;-a chronic asthmatic

condition. He says he may

go.: back there to live but

has no definite plans as

yet as to how or where he

wil l be spending his retire-

ment years.

Pop was born in North

Hamptonshire in the English

Midlands and came to Can-'

ada in 1910. He went over-

seas in the first World War

with the Canadian Macnine

Gun Corps and there rose to

the rank of Lieutenant. He

is a popular member of the

local Legion.

We all look forward to

seeing Pop around for a long

time yet, and DRIFTWOOD

extends our heartiest best

wishes for a long and happyretirement.
