graphers were investigating the possibility of using obliqueair photographs to expedite the mapping of the continent-al land masses. Much of the mathematical work involvedhad already been completed by Hinks at Cambridge, butpractical difficulties limited the extent to which the pro-

cess was usable. ,In itself the air photograph is helpful enough in giving

an idea of the distributions and relative positions, but itusually fails to give any appreciable idea of height. Asa digression from the main subject under study, Mr.Harcus considered the idea of exaggerating the heightscale of the photographs in order to obtain a more real-

TOM HARCUS - originator of the new stereograpnic map,first computed and drew the projection while engaged inpost-graduate work at Edinburgh University in 1934. Theconcept has not been put into practical use until just re*-cently, when Mr. Harcus, at present on the staff of SaltSpring Elementary-Secondary school, intrigued by theinteresting topography of the island decided to make-itthe subject of his first stereomap.

jjig with the various process-es of perspective drawingand the production of block •diagrams. Most of them dealadequately with the varioustypes of grid that are ingeneral use, and discuss thedifferent ways in whichrelief can be represented.

Of the two main pro-cesses involved, the cons-truction of the basis onwhich the relief is built uppresents the major difficulty.Unfortunately the majorityof writers are content todiscuss only diagramatic il-lustrations; and in manycases, as far as the carto-grapher is concerned, thesefend to deteriorate intowhat is little more than anartist's impression of thejreal thing. However, there:have been produced recentlyin Europe several excellentartistic views of places like_

the Alps, all by means 6fmodern colour lithography.

The second problem liesin the selection of the con-,ventional means or symbolsthat have to be employed inthe final process of depict-ing all the bumps and lumpsof rock and earth and treesand roads and the like thatmake up the visible landsurface. On the map shownhere a system of hachuringhas been used.

It was only recently thatMr. Harcus developed theprocesses required to makethe "stereo map" a practic-al proposition. At best, how-ever, it is laborious. Rough-ly an hundred hours are re-quired to map an area assmall as this. •

THE GULF ISLANDS AS SEENFROM ARGOSY MAGAZINE

Mr. Frank Collins, always an avid reader and resear-cher, came up with a copy of the current Argosy magaz-

ine which contains an article, written by one Myron

Brenton, titled "Canada's Offbeat Vacation Islands." Inthe course of this treatise on whereto spend a cheap vac-

ation (it's called low-budget in the piece) the Gulf Is-lands are "written up".

Islands. In this epistle describing our region one wouldthink the future is nowl

Dear Sir: "I wish to protest the increase in wharfage char-ges at Ganges from $6.00 per month to 50$ a foot permonth as no facilities or.services whatsoever are providedby the Department of Transport.

Before coming to Salt Spring Island, we used to pay

60<? per foot for our boat at a dock controlled by the

Docks and Harbour Board of Vancouver. For this sum weenjoyed the following -

Lighting along all the docks.

Fresh water along all the docks with taps and hosesevery few yards.

An electricity meter for each berth. $2.00 worth ofelectricity each month was included in the rent. Afterthat a bill was rendered for the excess according to themeter reading. This enabled one to have a light in theboat etc. simply by plugging in, to keep the batteries al-ways fully charged to have a heat bulb in the boat a!!

winter and during the wet weather in the summer, so thatmattresses, cushions, clothes, etc. were always dry andno damp could get into the boat.

Hugh containers on wheels with lids which were kept

closed by a spring for garbage, emptied every day.A high metal fence round the dock with the wharfing-

er's office at the g so that no unauthorized peoplecould dome down the c .^s.

24 hour supervision of the dock with never less than2 men working an 8 hour shift at a time. Once every

hour day and night a man went the rounds with a chartshowing the number of every berth and the boat in it,checking everything. Anything amiss, a boat bumping, a

rope loose, canvas flapping, boat filling with water etc.

and the owner was immediately telephoned. At the farend of each dock a clock was installed which had to be «punched every time round to prove that the hourly insp-ection had been carried out.

Many other small services were provided which would

take too long to list.May I ask what facilities and services the Department

of Transport is going to provide for a rent of 50$ per foot

per month ?"Signed - Mary Gatley.

Dear Sir: "I read with disgust the report in your paper

that motor cyclists are to be forced to wear cumbersome

headgear.Once more our boasted freedom is revealed as a myth!'

O P E N L E T T E R TO MR. M . A L D O U S . . . .

G e n e r a l Manager , B . C . Fe r ry A u t h o r i t y ,Dear Sir: "This paper wishes to lodge a strong protest on

the present operation of the system of reservations now ineffect on the Tsawwassen-Long Harbour run of the Queen

of the Islands.There is no denying the necessity for such reservations

as it is probably the only fair way to han'dle the demands

on the service at present. We think the Ferry Authorityhad no other choice and if the reservation system worked

there would be no real difficulty.Several instances can be documented where travellers

wishing to reserve space on the ferry have called the ad-vertised phone number only to be greeted with a recordingstating something to the effect that 'reservations are nec-essary for the Gulf Islands . . . the office is now closed.This has happened on several occasions when people havecalled mornings or evenings. It probably happens before9 a.m. and after 5 p.m. However the ferry operates be-tween the hours of 7a.m. and 9:45 p.m. and people trav-el back and forth between these times. It is therefore nat-ural to expect that opportunities for required reservations

should be available to them during these times.The other complaint is much more serious and reflects

on the so-called object!veof the ferry system to providea pleasant and comfortabletrip between the mainlandand the Gulf Islands. LastSunday evening the ferry of-ficials at Long Harbour re-fused to honor a legitimatereturn reservation of a visit-ing family who had come tovisit friends on Salt Spring.

The family in question

had made their reservationswell in advance on the main-land and boarded the Friday

evening ferry at Tsawwassen.Their whole trip over andtheir weekend was very pleas-ant until they arrived atLong Harbour about 4:45 onSunday. They had careful-ly called the Zenith numb-er at noon on Sunday to cor

firm their return reservationWhen they arrived at

Long Hgrbour, they weretold their names weren't on

the list. When the visitorasked what they were sup-posed to do, they were told

to take the next ferry out of

Fulford Harbour to the main-land via Swartz Bay.

This they did, probablya long with the vow that goes

something to the effect thatit will be a frosty Friday be-

fore they come again.

Please, Mr. A/dous,couldn't we get the reserva-tions records running moresmoothly?" J.D.V

'MUMS THE WORDby Bea Hamilton

Despite cold nights andi much rain recently the flow-iers shown at the FulfordHall at Saturday's SpringFlower Show were really ex-cellent. This was sponsoredby the S.S.I. Chrysanthe-mum Society and GardenClub.

There were some veryfine specimens in most clas-ses while arrangements wereoriginal and surprising insome cases. In the blackand white class, there wereseveral outstanding arrange-ments. Unfortunately allcould not win awards. Byhearing comments round andabout, many did not agreewith the fudging especiallyin this class. Whoeverheardof a judge who pleased ev-eryone anyway? Won't thatbe the day?

We did notice that themost simple arrangementswon the first place on thejudge's lists. The great var-iety of flowers,from daffod-ils to pansies, and Mrs.R.R.Alton's lovely yellow CrownImperial, the pol ya nth us.

and the first prize floweringshrub of Mrs. Catto's. Mr.Scot Clarke's arrangementin which he used Marestailsartistically,the black andwhite arrangement in char-coal and white narcissi andanother equally outstandingwas an oval black back-ground and white narcissi.All these and more deservemention. And did you seethe (ugh) slugs? I heardthe comments, "Oh,horridthings!" etc. and peeped;over a shoulder and'I echo-ed their sentiments. • |

There were great fatslugs under glass, nasty,slimy things... This was inthe "Dare to be differentSection" and it was differ-

ent all right! The coilect-'ion of rockery plants pleasedeveryong. The display ofpaintings was interesting.It showed the different tou-ches of the artists. Mr.Temmel had some excellentpainting in, and quite avariety. We all like GwenRuckles and all the others.We can be proud of our Is-land artists.

The ceramics,put in bythe Adult Education Class,were lovely. In the corner

jwe noticed colored slidesof native flowers showingiautomatically on a small'screen. This caused a lot ofinterest. Someone had abrain wave there!

A number of door priz-es were won by lucky tick-et holders.

Tea was served down-stairs by hard working com-mittees and a great numberof people came and wentduring the afternoon.

It was nice to see Dr.Bradley back,and Mrs.MeGregor (Peggy) Macintoshfrom Victoria took in theshow.

It entails a lot of workto put on these shows butthe whole affair wasapprec-iated as it gives many peo-ple a chance to see otherpeople's flowers and to see

- 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 j f e ;;what others can do with a while others make pictures"flower or two and a bit of with flowers. Same t'nin0

green stuff". Some artists only different and we owe

HAPPY BYEGONE DAYS OF SALTSPRING - Contributed.

Not so many years ago, Ganges really had entertain-ments. I wonder how many people remember the splendidshows Mrs. A. J. Smith used to produce in the MahonHall. They were really good plays with a really good castwith such people as Mrs. Springford, Capt. Best, PercySouthey, Mr. Croffer, Mr. Whilks, Mrs.Harvey and Mrs.J. S. Jones. I forget who painted the scenery but wehad some very good sets and of course Mrs. Smith was al-ways very correct about the costumes. Her directing wasvery strict and she drilled her company as if she was pay-ing them a hugh salary, but nobody minded as they allreally enjoyed it and the plays always were a success.

About 1926 Mrs. J. S. Jones started up a concertparty calling themselves the Radio Set. Most of Mrs.Smith's company were in it including Mr. Case Morris,Miss Tommy Scott, Mr.Stacy, and Mrs. Fred Morris.Mrs.Smith had given up her shows and people were ready forsome bright music and dancing.The first show put on weresongs and dances from the Co-optimists, a very popularconcert party playing in London. Dear old Percy Southeywas a most wonderful pianist, and played for hours at re-hearsals, and never seemed to tire, most of Mrs. Jones'songs and dances he simply heard her hum and he wouldplay them right off.

The company opened the show with the stage drapedin black curtains, trimmed with gold Greek Key patt-ern. Everybody dressed in black and orange pierrot suits.There were many changes of dress, for the various turns,some of which were as follows -

Mr. Stacy and Mr. J. Jones as spark plug the horse,with Mrs. J. S. Jones singing the song Barney Google.Mr.Case Morris in a beautiful suit of white, top hat andsilver knobbed cane, and Mrs. J. S. Jones in grey satinand pink poke bonnett, long black gloves. The bothsang "Cecilia" and did a graceful dance together.

•Mr. Whilks was the Naughty Frenchman inviting allthe ladies to Sea.

Children and teenagers were always in even if it wasonly to sit and look pretty.

J_remember an incident that happened, DorothyJones and Daisy Evans, were tulips in large boxes.oneach corner of the stage and were both supposed to comeup slowly out of their boxes. Dorothy came up and look-ing across the stage and not seeing Daisy, shouted Daisyget up, whereupon a very nervous Daisy arose with tearsin her eyes and the audience were very amused. Anothernumber I remember was Mrs.Jones and Kitty Allen doinga song and dance together with very daring brilliant gar-terson their legs which called formuch high kicking andperhaps a little embarrassment to Mr. Bui lock who alwayssat in the front row. Miss Tommy Scott delighted us witha song "Apple Blossom Time" and looked very lovely in asummer outfit with sunshade.Mr. Jones and Mr. Stacywere really the Boys when they son "We are the Broad-way Boys" dressed_in frock coats and top hats and theyfinished up with a natty little step dance. Sometimes,Mrs.Jones would put on tableaus just to get the childrenand young girls interested. I remember one when thewhole stage depicted a Grecian garden and all the girlswere draped in sheets and gold bands of ribbon holding1

all kinds of large vases and posing differently (some of thevases were definitely not Grecian, but they looked fine)Amongst the girls were Doreen Crofton, Mrs.Shove, Mrs.

Inglin, Mrs. Newman, her sister Gladys, Dorothy Jones,Daisy Evans and many others I have forgotten.

Then of course was the lovely Agricultural Show,with its wonderful arrays of fruit, veg tables,flowershome cooking and preserves also needle work and thechildren's miniature gardens, which were really worthlooking at, and I remember the cake a bachelor got firstprize for was a round Iced cake with a Whiskey bottle inthe centre, Iced red,white and blue. Out on the groundsthere was sheep shearing, log chopping, races and oneyear children brought their pets.

I remember one boy had a pI/mouth rock hen, with a

S a l t S p r i n g I s l and

large blue ribbon bow on her and reins.At night there wasa dance and it was quite different from today. We alldressed up in our best of course, not dance frocks, andwhen refreshments came the boys came around with cloth-es baskets full of cups and saucers and after brought a;plate of sandwiches and cakes, and of course poured teafrom those long enamel jugs which look very much likethe ones we now use to put coal on the fire. It all tastedvery good. Anyway Willie Palmer was one of the waiters.

Christmas we had a Fancy Dress Dance for adults,which was always a success and Christmas Week there wasa fancy dress for the children. The mothers must haveworked very hard as there were never any children thatcame without being dressed as something.

Oh, well they were happy days. What has happened tcthe Communal feeling? Nobody wants to do anything anymore. I suppose it is T.V. and Radio which needs no eff-ort, that has made us all stay at home.

Well three cheers for the Happy Bygone Days of SaltSpring, I am glad I was here to enjoy them.

FULFORD NEWSby Bea Hami Iton

The 24th May is comingnearer and everyone is won-dering who the May Queen'will be this year. The com-mittees would like to seeas many floats as possiblefrom organizations and bus-iness concerns.lt is all goodpublicity for business andhelps to make a good paradebesides being a part of theactivity which keeps theIsland alive.

So far, two floats arelisted, and the F.A.C.hope many more will jointhe ranks and encourage theyoung people of the Island.It gives great pleasure tothe older people as well sodress up that car or truckandcomealong tohelpmakeEmpire Day a success.

Last week or so ago,I wrote about the Rev.E.F.

' Wilson who brought so muchto the Island in 1894 to1909 when he left here. Hepassed away in Victoria in

J915.I I mentioned that he hadi 12children,his descendents[have identified 11 children! 10 of whom came to SaltjSpring. One a little girl,,Mabel diedaftera fire when|she was carried out andcaught cold - one of thetragedies that came to the

^family during their lifetime.;And there could well havebeen another child whodied

;in infancy, for several can.remember the Rev. Mr.Wil-!soh saying he had 12 child-Iren. And for my books heshould have known 1

However that is all be-side the point. I was mere-ly reminding people of oneof our valiant and outstand-ing pioneer missionarieswho for courage and integ-rity, unselfish devotion andpositive if somewhat gloomy

religious views, the Rev.Mr. Wilson cannot be equ-

D R I F T W O O D pa g

ailed.To him we owe much

of the preservation of theIsland history which wouldsurely have passed into oo-

, livion if he hadn't jotted itiall down in his little book-lets. The work that gentle-man did is unbelievableifrom establishing IndianSchools to paintings anddrawings, besides all theMissionary work. Perhapsihis most difficult assign-'ment was trying to bringthe Islanders into the fold.And even now,the presentday Clergy are still trying.

The next W.I.meetingwill be on May 13th, loca-tion unknown at the moment.(Continued to P. 10, Col. 3]
