Two trustees of the Gulf Isl-ands School District are with-drawing from public affairs. Af-ter 14 years on the board, inclu-ding a number of terms as chair-man, George M. Heinekeyplans to devote his time to hisown affairs after the close of theyear. Mr. Heinekey is electedfrom Salt Spring Island.

Mrs. Betty Ross, from Mayne.Island, has served six years astrustee and plans to call it a daj

"No, no, no!" she repliedemphatically when asked whe-ther she intends to seek anotherterm.

"Wo Way!" said George Lam-pier, after two years as trustee,"I've done two years, let some-one else have a try."

Mr. Lampier is also electedfrom Salt Spring Island.

School trustees were, untiltwo years ago, elected fromNorth Salt Spring or South SaltSpring. There is no longer aseparate voters' list for each di-strict and trustees for Salt SpringIsland are now elected from allthe island.

Third Salt Spring Island trust-ee at the end of her term is thechairman of the board, Mrs. lo-ne Guthrie. Mrs. Guthrie willseek a further term in office.She has served two years, oneas trustee and one as chairmanof the board.

Also seeking a further term isTom Davidson, of Saturna,. Mr.Davidson has completed twoyears on the board.

At Mayne Island three nameshave been mentioned as possi-ble candidates but on Wednes-day there was no decision to be

announced.J. M. Campbell, veteran tru-

stee and former chairman of theschool board has been mootedas a candidate, but he was notavailable for comment thisweek.

The Salt Spring Island Cham-ber of Commerce and the SaltSpring Island Ratepayers* Associ-ation have both expressed con-cern over the elections and haveurged residents to come forwardas candidates.

Two seats on the board of theCapital Regional District fall va-cant this year.

Director M. H. Holmes, ofFulford, sitting for Salt Spring !$•land, is yet undecided whetherto seek a further term in office.

Director Joan Purchase of Pen-der Island reaches the end of herfirst term in ofi'ice this year. Shehas yet to announce her plans.

A QUIET

WEEK ENDEverything was quiet at the

week end. Police at Gangesreported a holiday without inci-dent and ferry officials reportedcrowds but not excessive strainon services.

Queen of the Islands, back a-mong the islands, took the bur-den of the Thanksgiving holidajin her stride.

Delays at Fulford were socommon as to arouse little co-mment.

The last summer holiday ofthe year br ought the islands aplentiful supply of sunshine andwarmth.

It Will CostAverage

$13 TaxesIf the islands school building

plan goes through it will costthe average home owner lessthan $13 per year, stated Trust-ee George Heinekey on Tuesday

Mr. Heinekey presented GulfIslands School District trusteeswith some statistics he had gath-ered.

Three-quarters of the resident!of Vesuvius Bay area pay no taxes at all, he told the board. Ofthe remainder, majority pay $10to $30.

It was not entirely clear whe-ther he was including all taxesor restricting himself to the con-sideration of school taxes.

Average assessment (net tax-able value) on the islands is$7,000 explained the trustee.Taxes on this figure would am-ount to $162.35. Ag ainst thisfigure is the home-owner grantof $170, which more than cov-ers the school tax figure, he ex-plained.

Total taxes against such aproperty would amount to$267.40, to include provincial,regional and local taxes as wellas school levies. The ownerwould pay a net figure of $92.6C

The home with a net taxablevalue of $7,000 would have amarket value of about $25,000suggested Mr. Heinekey.

PAINTERS TOV/S/T HISSTUDIO

Painters and artists from theislands will gather on Sunday atthe studio of one of the mostnoted of all west coast painters,Windsor Utley.

The lecture by former Seattleartist and gallery proprietor willinclude a display of his latestwork and a talk on the techni-ques of modern painting.

The afternoon workshop in thestudio above the Ganges Recrea-tion Centre on McPhillips Ave.is open to members of the GulfIslands Community Arts Council,It is the first activity undertakenby Mr. Utley since his recentreturn from Italy.

The Salt Spring Island artistwill commence on Saturday aseries of classes on painting atVictoria Art Gallery.

In February and March nextyear Utley will show his work inthe Victoria gallery.

Members of the GalianoChamber of Commerce paid tri-bute to a former vice-president,o n Wednesday evening, October6.

President Steve Riddell askedthe gathering to rise at the be-ginning of the meeting, for oneminute's silence, as a tribute tothe late vice-president, Dr.H.D. Earner.

It was reported that member-ship is now 230, the highest inthis h istory of the Chamber onGaliano.

Bill Beach, roads chairman,gave his report, a progress on th<work on the north end road. It isnow a foregone conclusion thatthe paving will not be done thisyear, he told members but thecrews are doing a magnificentjob of widening. It is muchmore than anyone ever expectedhe added.

There's been some heavy blas-ting on Galiano recently.

Last Thursday when there weresix blasts in less than an hour aresident of Walker Hook Road onSalt Spring Island was worried.

Mrs. G. M. Baker reportedthat her house was heavily shak-en and that plaster was damaged

She called the Ganges detach-ment, RCMP, who told her theywere powerless to take action.

No other resident has reporteddamage as a result of the char-ges.

Trustees Stay With Scriptures* # * *

DESPITE PLEA FOR ELIMINATIONTrustees of school districts in

British Columbia failed to sup-port a resolution last week to el-iminate bible readings and pray-'ers from the schools.

Chairman of the board of GulfIslands School District, Mrs. loneGuthrie told her board on Tues-day afternoon that she had sup-ported a resolution to eliminatethese things from the curricul-um.

She is a convinced Christian,she told her board, but she sup-ported their resolution. Theprayer and bible readings arewithout meaning and mumbledin a rush too often, she expl-ained.

Principal D. L. Hartwig ex-plained that the prayers andscriptural readings are includedwith the day's notices.There was no criticism of the

ates that the Gulf Island SchoolDistrict is doomed, warnedChairman Mrs. lone Guthrie onTuesday.

"I came back from the trust-ees' convention fearful that nexiyear we will be fighting for ourexistence," she told her board.

There has been talk for sever-,al years of government compul-sion to integrate school districtsand the islands' debt-free taxbase is attractive to debt-riddendistricts nearby.

to be frank

By Richards

Nowhere among the islands isthe change from realism in Eng-lish more evident than in theschools. Take some of the re-cent changes. At one time aschool inspector was to be foundworking around the schools.When he became a school sup-erintendent did it improve hiswork? Night school is continu-ing education. Janitor is custo-dian. A high school is a secon-dary school. All these pifflinglittle changes accompany a jar-gon that is as distinctive as thewartime fighter pilots* slangwas during a war long ago. Theschools should be setting an ex-ample, not messing everyoneup. Teachers are guilty, butthe real criminal is the man inthe education department officewho sits on Webster's while rea-ding the Oxford in order to ab-sorb syllables from a sandwichof verbiage, sanctioned by fish-heads in normal schools so farfrom normal!

* * *Everything's going to be fine!

Last week Gordon Shrum, ofB.C. Hydro, told newsmen inVictoria that there was no immi-nent rate hike. Spokesmen forBC Tel didn't even mentionhikes. Important dignitaries ofthe various provincial industriestaking part in discussions madeno mention of increases in costs.Looks like we might have stabi-lity for a week or two!

later he dropped another "cut"and I laughed. He never did seethe joke and yet his was funnierbecause it broke his toe. He'sgot over it now, anyway. Cometo think about it, it all happen-ed about a dozen years ago.

Services Association announcedthat a minimum cost funeralservice will be available in theprovince for $100. There's noquestion that it will be $100well-spent, but I fi gure I'llmake all the arrangements wherI need them. After all. once Ineed the service there'll be allkinds of pressure to get on withit. Only stipulation I make isthat I won't take my best clotheswith me; I'd rather be wrappedup in old newspapers, they'rewarmer and I wouldn't want tobe left in a box with my headsticking out. Apart from thedanger of a stiff neck, my fam-ily have been looking at me toolong already, why drag it out?

CHRISTIANITY IN THE CLASSROOMSchool trustees of the province rejected a proposal

last week to eliminate the reading by rote of scriptureand the Lord's Prayer from provincial classrooms.Chairman lone Guthrie of the Gulf Islands School Dis-trict explained this week that although she is a conv-inced Christian she was in favor of the elimination ofthis apparent Christianity from the classroom.

It is empty, hollow, irreligious and meaningless.Many christians have so asserted. In many schools ofthe province the readings and prayers are hurriedlymumbled, inadequate! y understood and become a mo-ckery.

Trustees of the province have urged that the practicebe retained. Let us, then, ensure that they are followed with meaning and understanding.

Reference to religion and the scriptures is probablythe final remaining difference between the British Col-umbian classroom and the students' gathering in theschools of Moscowc If such reference is empty, thenthere remains no difference. Surely there are somewho will find this trend unpalatable?

IT IS AN EVIL THINGThe explosion at Amchitka may never occur. It is

feasible that President Nixon will decide against theproject in the face of strong opposition at home andabroad.

In the event of a nuclear explosion at Amchitka,there are several possibilities. The first and obviouspossibility is that the explosion may cause no immed-iate physical harm and bring about a negligible futureindirect damage to world health. So we all trust.

It could cause a violent upheaval and damage the en-tire coast. This appears the least likely but cannot beignored as a possibility in the game of Russian rouletteadopted by Mr. Nixon.

The third, and most likely, is that there will be afurther increase in the degree of radio-activity aroundus. We all know that this can permanently damagefuture generations. Some people and some nationslong ago decided that present warfare must take prece-dence over future life.

We must, however, make it clear that we object tothe Amchitka blast for its threat to the future. We object to the entire game of Bang ! Bang! as it is playedby the major nations of the world, but there is none tolisten. In company with many small voices we willcontinue to object to Communist explosions and capit-alist explosions until, conceivably, we succumb totheir effects.

And while so objecting, we cannot look with pleas-ure or satisfaction at the use of nuclear weapons byCanadian forces here or elsewhere, or by foreign for -ces on Canadian soil.

Destruction of the earth's amenities by technologicalforces is intrinsically evil and those who feel it somust speak up for fear of appearing to sanction it.

TO ALICE MURAKAMI TANAKA

A Matter For Sadness And ShameBY BEA HAMILTONI felt a little sad when I read

your letter in last issue, Alice,-sad and ashamed that any per-son could have treated yourhard-working parents so badly.

I, up to now, could not be-lieve that anyone in their rightmind, could deliberately dest-roy a person's livelihood -theirgrowing crops, which manyhours of hard labor had prod-uced; and I still think it wasmerely the immature thinkingon the part of some person orpersons - probably some visit-ing transient who has thisTHING against your race.

I hope it was a visitor for Iwould not like to think that aSalt Spring Islander would stoopto such behavior - and I amsure they would not.

From the time that our Islandstarted, back in the 1800's, wehave had Japanese people work-ing, helping and living with uson the island. Yes, WAR camebetween, it is true--and yourpeople were banished to camps.That, Alice, was not the faultof the Salt Spring people - butcompulsive Military or Govern-mental rulings - and it may hawbeen the best for some of yourpeople as, in the heat of war,and bitter feelings that arise be-tween nationalities, there couldhave been uncomfortable incid-ents at home - in our midst.

You and your people, were sa-fer and less likely to be embroil-ed in home arguments, perhapsby incoming people who resent-ed ANY person connected withJapan; perhaps the same sort ofperson who deliberately wreckedyour parent's garden crops .

When the war started in 1941,with Japan as the enemy, itwould have been a crushingshock to all on the island .

There were a few, no doubt,who resented the presence ofany Japanese. Probably in Jap-an, Alice, there were some ofother nationalities, who werealso banished or kept in campsfor the duration. Maybe someCanadians, or English - what *sthe difference? They would

would have been uncomfortablealso. That was WAR - horrible,undesirable and wrong, sowrong!

We should have all learnedthe lesson of forgiveness, of un-derstanding that, under duress,excitement, loyalty to yourcountry, a person will do andsay things that they never wouldthink of in peace time.

Through the past wars, weshould cherish peace and workonly for that, forgetting all thatis past and loving all our neigh-bors, and you, Alice, and yourdear parents are our neighbors.

I have yet to hear ANYBODYsay anything against your par -ents, Alice; we love your brightand cheerful little mother, asshe is the one we meet and talk

to when we come to get a por-tion of the delicious fruit and vegetables.

We don't often see your fatherbut we know he is there, some-where out in that vast field,tending his plants that we mayget some produce later on. Welove you, Alice, and yourpeople and I think you will findmany neighbors around Ganges,who, when they realize thatsome varmint really IS harmingyour people's garden (we foundit hard to believe that anyonecould be so mean), I am surethat our people will help to pro-tect your family and see thattheir crops are not damaged a-gain.

We who are Salt Spring Islan-ders, cannot allow our lovely is-land to turn into a place infest-ed with hoodlumism or vandal-ism; that kind of behavior does-n't belong here and it is up. toevery resident who loves his isl-and home; and every visitor whoenjoys coming to spend a holid •ay whenever possible; and thosewho have only summer homes,or come to camp, to be alert tostop and stamp out the undesir-able element before it growstoo big to handle.

How this is done is up to theindividual b;it if we all do ourpart, as an individual or as anorganized body, we could makeour island an example of beautyand freedom that would encour-age only the best ideals in liv-ing, for truly, Salt Spring Islandis about the last frontier thatcan still boast of a temperateclimate, no pollution, freshair (barring Croftoh's contribu-tion occasionally) and a fewcountry trails for wal king, rid-ing,, an:' beaches.

Yes, dear islanders, we stillhave some country that hasn'tbeen subdivided and exploited,and let's keep what we have andenjoy it.

And to you, Alice and ycurpeople, remember you are apart of our island and your troubles and problems are OUR troub-les and problems and if we are

the good, friendly neighborsthat we say and sing about, therwe shall help you. You see, Iknow my Island and I have faiththat our people will not let youdown.

SHE WAS SHOCKEDEditor. Driftwood,

While I sympathize with theMurakamis on the damage doneto their garden last summer, Iwas shocked that you would al-low the insinuations against aman, now deceased and unableto defend himself, that werecontained in the "letters to theeditor" from Alice MurakamiTanaka in the Driftwood lastweek.

The forgiveness she speaks ofis not evident when through aletter ihe has made public, sheundoubtedly brings much painto this man's family, who therrselves would have been child-ren -at the time and would cert-ainly have had nothing to dowith the actions of their father,right or wrong.

Although I was also a verysmall child at the time , I'msure what was done was underthe direction, or at least withthe approval of the CanadianGovernment, and done not on-ly here on Salt Spri ng but allover Canada.

What right has Mrs. Tanakato say this person is forgotten.I fail to see how her once year-ly visit can determine this.Even if she lived here year a-round, how could she knowwhat is in the hearts of otherpeople?

As for the R.C.M.P. I amsure they have done all theycan and would welcome anyadvice on how this case andother cases of vandalism againstother people of other racial or-igins can be solved.

TEACHERS SEEKHELP TO MEETINSURANCE COST

Teachers of the Gulf Islandshave expressed concern over thepossible liability should theyhave an accident while carryingstudents to sports or other gath-erings in their own private cars.

Oh Tuesday afternoon trusteesof the district decided to invitean insurance agent to explainthe teacher's position in such acase.

Earlier, teachers had been ad-vised1 to increase their liabilityto $300,000 to cover such inst-ances. They were asking theboard to underwrite any increasein operating costs for such a pur-pose.

YOUR SCHOOL BOARD

QUESTIONCORNER

DID YOU KNOW?Since the beginning of September the Secondary School stud-ents from the Outer Islands have been boarding in Silt SpringIsland homes? The Board of School Trustees of .School Dist-rict No. 64 (Gulf Islands) closed the dormitory last summerbecause a qualified, reliable matron could not be found.

It was announced at that time that a further attempt wouldbe made in October 1971 to find a matron, with a view toopening the dormitory again in January 1972. This weektherefore a series of advertisements are being placed in news-papers in the province and certain periodicals which mightbe read by interested qualified people.

all wound up in getting him dec-lared to have actually left Can-ada some 50 years ago for theU.S.A. He's wishing to getback his Canadian citizenship,and says the Canadians want tobe assured that he truly did leaveCanada for the south side of theBorder. For this, he must havea certified statement from thoseAmericans. They tell him,sure, it's in their records allright Good luck, Jack! (This isput in for information of peoplewho do not realize the recentstiffening of Canadian policies,going back some 3 or 4 years. Asimilar case was that of a lady,born in the U.S.A., naturalizedby her father's naturalizationwhen she was 8. She was marriedto a Canadian 47 years ago, andfor nearly 40 years as the wife ofa Canadian diplomat and ambas-sador, had her passport O.K.But on asking for the usual renewal in 1968, she was told shewould have to getpr oof of Cana-dian citizenship!

Dave Jack says the west Coastsalmon trollers have called it aseason and many of his pals arestopping by to say,"howdy!" Th«latest was Curly Banks on the"Eagle Crest". Curly wouldn'ttie up at Dave's float as he saidhe did not wish to dirty all thatnice new white paint on vhe "E-geria", home or the Quinns,moored alongside Dave's "Satur-na ROSE". Nice to know our prcfessionals are so considerate ofothers. Some~-amateurs are not.

Many birthdays lately. Firstwas Mrs. Arthur Ralph; then onthe 2nd, Alan Quinn on the "Eg-eria"; next, David S. Jack, ATHOME; and most lately on the9th, Arthur Ralph himself. Thegrand old man of Saturna says hecan now count up to 87.annualcelebrations. All us youngstershope Arthur will count as manymore that will be as lively asthe first lot.

Several dozen families havearrived over the Thanksgivingweekend, far too many to noteBut at least one lot should betold on. Jack Rush and companyarrived full of energy and thecar full of bricks. Not sure whois bricklayer and who the hod-carrier, but anyhow Bev Camp-bell says the Rush mansion issure going to have a new chim-ney and a fireplace at last.

The B.C. Historical meetingin the Saturna Community Hallon the 7th was a fine one. Dr.H.O. Maclure gave a wonderful-ly interesting talk on his work asmedical missionary in Africa,particularly in the Congo, Ug-anda and Sierra Leone. He told

of the native troubles both withdisease and not less with unemp-loyment and inflation. He show-ed excellent color slides andmovies of work on hospitals andpatients with leprosy and trach-oma, among other ills; also .some magnificent movies ofgame in Uganda and Kenya,both from the air and on theground. There were elephants,hippos, ostriches, rhinos, lions,endangered waterfowl and evensome lions. He remarked thata full-fed lion isn't very danger-ous, and showed close-ups of alarge lion lounging in the crotchof a big tree, sleepily lookingat the cameraman from about 1Cfeet, with his stuffed belly droo-ping below the boughs; anotherlion, Dr. M. , said, was NOTfull-fed, and was shown at some50 feet with the car motor run-ning. The 30 members presentvoted acclaim to Dr.Maclure,and also to have the next meet-ing Nov. 17 at Port Washingtonhall, to hear Willard Ireland, the

Provincial Archivist.the new Saturna ferry landing

is now in steady use and showingits great value. But a word ofwarning to "furriners": That wenow have rapid docking of theinterisland ferry at Saturna Isl-.and and equally fast movementsoff and on of motor traffic,doesNot mean any greater accessib-ility of places to camp, eat ortravel about. As noted sometime ago to the approval of

•Oaltus Coulee, we have neithera restaurant, a hotel/motel,nor any public park for campersor trailers. Nor is there a mar-ina, although Mr. John Macdonaid says he is now prepared togive full gas and oil service tovisiting boats as was formerlydone, at the Federal Govern-ment wharf. Saturna is still the"end of the run" from civiliza-tion, and we Islanders are stillnot sorry.

you never heard of and the big-

f ;r places you did. Some wereom the Alberta border and

there were two from Al'berta.One man came down from FortNelson and he was so thin bythe time he got to Victoria Ifigured he must have walked it.

Like I say it was living graci-ously alright with bright lightsto see what you're drinking andthen eating in the dark.

But there weife lots of peoplefrom the islands. Not just meand not just me and the boss.

There was Ed Gould who livedon Salt Spring and Fender to getthe .taste of island living a ndmoved to Victoria to get rid ofthe taste. There was Ray Wormaid, who spent some boyhoodyears living on Galiano beforehe was a reporter for the Victor-ia Colonist or a navy man prot-ecting our shores. Ray's wife,Rosemary has a greater claim tofame outside the islands. Shehas a show on television speak-ing of flowers and arrangements.But no island history.

Alan and Madeleine McLay,of Scott Point were at the news-paper convention. Alan smokesa pipe through some of the lar-gest newspaper plants in BritishColumbia but he doesn't write.Me distributes the paper on

which the paper is printed. Andthat's pretty important becausewithout paper you couldn't havea paper.

It went further than that. JackParry came from Alberta be-cause he is the president of thenewspapers* national associationand he wanted to see British Co-lumbia. Where is Pender Islandhe asked, eager to find a familyconnection there.

Fred Traff and Valerie spendmost of the year winning awardsfor the newspaper they publishat 100-Mile House. Occasional-ly, they get down to Victoria.They were dashing back to thenorth of southern British Colum-bia and couldn't find transporta-tion quick enough to visit Val-erie's aunt at Ganges, Mrs.Frank Hemmings.

Bill and Dorothy Marshallwere eager to get away fromVictoria because they werespending the week end at Gan-ges before returning home tothe mainland.

One evening we were royallyentertained by • the Oxenbury's,of Vancouver and lumber. Theycall Percy Chatt and his wife,ofWildwood Crescent Mummy andDaddy, because they are.

Incidentally, thesparrow wouldn't touch the wat-er after that until a fresh lotwas supplied. Even birds havetheir THING about pollution,you know.

Trustees were told on Tuesdayafternoon that a break down oc-curred on Friday with one buson '/Salt Spring Island. Shaftbroke in the trsnmission. No re-placement is available in thewest and there is a delay of ma-ny weeks in obtaining a replace-ment in eastern Canada.

The buses are all the samemake, explained George Heine-key and a similar breakdownmust be anticipated on the othertwo vehicles. The transmissionis no longer manufactured andthe vehicles are five and sixyears old.

Mr. Heinekey urged that thedistrict buy buses which haveparts service in the west to meetsuch emergencies.

None of the vehicles has rea-ched 100,000 miles it was noted.

For the time being the districtwill retain four buses.

EFFECT OF U.S. IMPORT TAX ON CANADAOOOOOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOOi

The recent action of Presid -ent Nixon in imposing a 10 percent surcharge on imports intothe United States and the otherprotectionist measures he hasintroduced have caused wide-spread consternation throughoutthe world.

Canada is being hurt morethan any other country becauseat the present time some 70 percent or our trade is with the U.S,

Finance Minister Benson saysthat if these measures are con-tinued the result for Canadawill be disastrous.

The minister of industry,trade and commerce, Mr. Pep-in, says it could mean a loss of90,000 jobs for Canadians. Considering that we already have6 1/2 per cent unemployment,one can realize how serious thesituation is for the people ofCanada.

It seems to me that there aretwo questions we must ask our-selves - first, how did we getourselves into this mess andsecondly, how do we get out ofit? For decades, and particul- .arly since the end of World WaiII, succsssive Liberal govern-ments have promoted economicintegration with the UnitedStates. The result is that weare extremely vulnerable toevery change of policy the U.Sinaugurates.

When the Americans catchcold it is the Canadians whosneeze.

Let me make it abundantlyclear that I am not criticizingthe fact that a large part of ourtrade is with the U.S. Ourclose proximity makes that botinecessary and desirable.

The late President Jack Ken-nedy once said of our two coun-tries - "Geography has made usneighbors and history has madeus friends."

• But there is a world of differ-ence between trading with ano-ther country and being ownedby that country. It is one thingto live together as neighbors .and another thing to exist aslandlord and tenant.

The unpalatable truth is thatCanada is rapidly becoming aneconomic -colony of the UnitedStates. In 1945 U.S. invest- •ment in Canada was $5 billion- today it is over $30 billion.Three-fifths of the investmentin manufacturing is foreign andtwo-thirds of the investment inresource-based industries is inthe hands of foreign corpora - •tions. Foreign ownership andcontrol in Canada is higher thatin any other industrial nation inthe world. And this control isgrowing at an alarming rate. In1945 there were 20 takeovers byU.S. companies; for the past 3years they have been running atthe rate of 200 per year.

Perhaps you will say "Sowhat? Does it make any differ-ence who owns these economicenterprises so long as we havethem?" Well, the answer is ththat ownership means the powerto make decisions - decisionsthat will determine whetheryour sons and daughters willhave jobs. Decisions as to

loooeocoooooocoooooccooooc

ther the Canadian economywill expand at a rate sufficientto provide jobs for our growinglabor force. It is bad enoughthat we should have become"hewers of wood and carriers ofwater" but it is even worsewhen foreign corporations havethe power to decide how muchwood we shall hew and howmuch water we will be allowedto carry.

Much of the foreign owner-ship - particularly by the Unit-ed States and Japan - is con-centrated in the resource-basedindustries. These foreign sub-sidiaries are set up primarly tosupply raw material such aslumber, iron ore and coal tothek parent companies. Theyare not interested in supplyingthe world market. Consequent-ly when there is a cutback in

d emand or when they find otheisources of supply it is the Can-adian operations that are shutdown. Because they are sellingto themselves, these subsidiar-ies sell at an agreed price andnot at world market prices.These prices are often low sothat profits are negligible withthe result that they pay little iitaxes and have wage rates thatare 25 per cent to 30 per centlower than those prevailing inthe U.S.

Most serious of all, these for-eign subsidiaries want to get ouiraw materials into their industri-al complex in the rawest statepossible. Consequently primaryproducts which should be proces-sed and fabricated in Canadaare shipped out of the country.We are not merely exportingraw materials; we are exportingjobs. Last year we surpassed allrecords in our export trade butat the same time we had 6 1/2per cent of our labor force un-employed. More and more weare being relegated to being thesuppliers of raw materials forother countries to fabricate, in-stead of processing these mater-ials in our own country and pro-•viding jobs for our own people.

For years we have allowed oureconomy to be dominated andmanipulated by giant multi-national corporations and nowthe chickens are coming hometo roost. Faced with problems

of their own, the Americanshave decided to deny access totheir market for many of ourmanufactured goods. We arelearning the hard way that econ-omic integration means that weare at the mercy of those whohave the decision-making powerand that we have little or no sayin the decisions that affect ourdaily lives.

If we are to solve some of thedifficulties which have arisen asthe result of President Nixon'sarbitrary actions I think thereare two things among otherswhich we must do. The first isto use our energy resources,•which the U.S. desperatelyneeds, as a bargaining weapon >to gain access to the U.S. mar-ket for our fabricated and manu-factured goods. Secondly, we

must begin immediately to re -gain control of the Cinadian ec-onomy by stopping all foreigntakeovers in selected areas ofour economy; limit the amountof foreign ownership in any cor-poration to less than 50 per centand use the Canada Develop-ment Corporation to generatethe necessary capital to processmore of our primary productsfor home consumption and forsale in the markets of the world.

We have waited almost toolong to begin the process of as-serting Canada's economic ind-ependence. If President Nixon'sbrutal treatment spurs us intotaking positive action to freeourselves from foreign control,then he may have done us amuch greater favor than he int-ended.

DRINKING DRIVER IS GREATEST HAZARD ONTHE HIGHWAY WARNS MOTORING PAPER

B.C. Motorist MagazineWithout a doubt the greatest hazard on our highways today is the

drinking driver.Studies show that half the fatal motor vehicle accidents in British

Columbia involve a drinking driver.The B.C. Automobile Association has been concerned about this

problem for a number of years and has made representations on thesubject in its annua 1 brief to the Provincial Government.

We believe that the provincial breathalyzer legislation was adefinite breakthrough. Attempts within the automobile industry itselfto develop starting devices that will not activate if the motorist isimpaired are also to be commended.

Continuing education about the problem is vital and we would like tocongratulate the Provincial Government on its current advertisingcampaign warning drivers of the hazards of drinking and driving.

The advertisement spells out dramatically the cost in terms of fines,family heartache and individual remorse that can occur if a driver isfaced with an impaired charge, particularly if he has been involved1 inan accident.

But, while this is a good start, we believe further steps must betaken.

The BCAA has been studying with interest the highly successfulDWI (Driving While Intoxicated) program that has been devised inPhoenix, Arizona.

Under this program, drivers convicted of impaired charges areordered to undertake an educational program run by the police andthe courts.

The program has attracted wide attention in the U.S.and has been sosuccessful that it has been adopted in a number of states. The BCAAendorses this program and has sent details to the Superintendent ofMotor Vehicles in Victoria.

Our long-term goal is to try to persuade the Provincial Governmentand the courts to become involved in this, the most successful attemptevery made to rehabilitate the drinking driver.

Any such efforts must result in a saving of lives, a cut in accidents,and an eventual lowering of insurance rates.

As things stand today every motorist has to help foot the bill for theaccident toll caused by the drinking driver.

Everywhere On Salt SpringTheir Names Are Written

BY BEA HAMILTON

Along the highway, from endto end of Salt Spring Island, twonames should be remembered,Cliff Wakelin and Frank Downey

Those two men saw the fkstroads emerge from the gravelwagon trails to the present-daypaved highway with the whitelines. Cliff Wakelin drove thetrucks, cart ing the road crewfrom point to point on the work-ing schedule.

Both men knew every ditch,every curve and every bridgethat was built over the years;their names are synonynouswith the Island road work.

Frank Downey as a young lad,helped R.P. Edwards run theBurgoyne Valley Store and whatwas known as the South SaltSpring Post Office at the store,starting in 1900.

When Mr. Edwards died in1918, Frank ran the Post Officeuntil 1923, when it was movedto the head of the harbour withA.J. Eaton and his wife Charl-otte, in charge.

Then it was of course calledthe Fulford Harbour P.O. Toda^it is just the Fulford Post officeas all "know.

I visited the Cliff Wakelinhome some years before Mrs.Wakelin died and was intriguedby the collection of "salt andpeppers" that filled severallarge glass cabinets by the hun-dreds'.

They were a happy trio andcongeniality reigned supremethere. Mrs. Wakelin, alwayscheerful, had a great sense ofhumor. She took pictures of theearly road work and in one,somewhat faded, she caught allthe men leaning on their shovels- Cliff's Shovel Leaners, shecalled this picture. It was agreat joke amongst the roadgang - the Shovel leaners, andmany a chuckle went along.the

old roadways, for those werethe real 'pick and shovel dayson the country roads.

Frank Downey, a veteran ofWorld War II, was road foremanfor a few years and he, likeCliff Wakelin, had taken hisshare of shovel leaning, afterthey had earned every penny oftheir paycheqUes.

Today, they are all gone, butthey should be remembered forevery mile we walk or drive ov-er, - they helped to build -howcan we forget?

I like to think of this familyof neighbors, who passed awaywithin a short time of each oth-er; Mrs. Wakelin went only ayear or two ago; being together,for to them, parting would havebeen a sad thing; each neededthe other and now, in the wordsof FINLANDIA, it can be said -"Be still, my soul, the hour ishasting on, when we shall beforever with the Lord.. .Whendisappointment, grief and fearare gone, Sorrow forgot, love'spurest joys restored, Be still,my soul, when change and tears

WITH KNIFE AND FORK THROUGHTHE GULF ISLANDS....By George Lidlifter

To me it's always been a toss-up who would carry off the finalof the Cranks' Cup, the religi-ous cranks or the food cranks. Itcould, at a pinch, be staged inVancouver's Empire Stadium,though there *d be more room tospread out at Wembley.

For sheer spectacle I dare saythe religious cranks would haveit by a substantial whisker.

Enter Father Divine, completewith purple Cadillac, escortedby a phalanx of his current favorites, wings freshly launderedwith Whiz or Whoosh.

Our own home-grown Brother12, from De Courcy Island,would have given him a run forhis money, though he lacked thefinesse by which Father Divineboth slept with the angels as wellas collecting their pay packetsin return for a bit of T.L.C.andlots of spaghetti.

Frod cranks tend to be loners,though Dr. Bircher-Benner ofZurich must be held responsiblefor a rash of converts who bel-ieve, rightly I think, that goodhealth calls for an intake of ar-

My father was touched, brief-ly, by the cult of a Germanfood crank called gustav nagel(all lower case, if you please),who wore sandals, a G-String,and ate nothing but tomatos and,appropriately, nuts. From theremy father passed successivelythrough the apple cure and theorange cure. This had the mer-it of simplicity.

You start with one apple andkeep adding one. a day until youreach 24 or burst, whichever ha-ppens first.

Then down the scale again toone. You're supposed to eat theskin, "pips and stalk. The orangecure was exactly the same,though you were absolved fromeating the peel. The result wassaid to be an inner tract of dazz-ling purity.

The school was located on abarge, where about two dozendivers were eagerly putting ontheir Scuba gear or drinking hotcocoa after coming out of thewater. Off the barge a seriesof bubbles were coming out ofthe water as divers used jackhammers under the sea to drilla hole in the ocean bed.

Institute Entertains OthersThe September meeting of the

Pender Island W.I. was held atthe home of Mrs. G. Campbell,South Pender Island.

It was a very happy occasion,the first meeting after the holi-days. There were 17 memberspresent and five visitors werewelcomed.

The highlight of the afternoonwas the demonstration of lace-making by Mrs. Dunsmuir fromMagic Lake.

On October 4 the second meeting pf the season was very speci-al. A bus containing about 45Institute members (and one ortwo brave husbands) from theSouth Vancouver Island District,was met at the wharf at 10 o'-clock by the president, Mrs.Grimes, and taken on a tour ofPender and South Pender endingat the hall about 12 o'clock.

Here the Pender Island ladiesmet them for lunch. The halland tables were gay with flow-ers and a very happy hour wasspent in renewing acquaintancesand meeting new friends.

The visitors brought their own'lunches and the hostess instituteprovided hot soup and tea orcoffee.

After the visitors left on the 1p.m. ferry the regular monthlymeeting was held with Mrs.Grimes in the chair. The presi-dent thanked the ladies for allthe hard work which had goneinto preparing tha hall and serv-ing the visitors at the tables.

A letter was read from Dr.Lotta Hitchmanova thanking theinstitute for the continued workfor the S. C. F. Miss MacKech-nie, the secretary, said that alarge supply of children's cloth-ing was ready for sending in atthe next workshop. She also re-ported that since we could nolonger send gifts to our adoptedchild in Korea the $15 which hacbeen voted for that purpose, hadbeen sent in September as a giftto the family.

WITH KNIFE AND FORK THROUGH THEGULF ISLANDS...continued

(From Pagemine but unsuccessful novelistand'quartered in an ElizabethanManor House not too far fromBlandford in Dorset. We'd hadsome time to lick our woundsafter Dunkirk, and though notquite ready to give the Germansa proper bashing, the occasionalpinprick was felt to be in order.Also good for morale.

The Colonel, Gus M.F., wassufficiently well dug in to theold boy network to sell his ideaof pricking the Germans by aseries of small-scale raids on se-lected targets across the Chann-el. He was given an establish-ment: so many majors, captains,sergeants, pikemen, dogs, catsand necessary transport; also twoMGB's located at Portland Bill,run by a mixed crew of Britishtars and Free Poles.

The general idea was to oper-ate as waterborne Commandos,dash in and dash out, countingon small numbers and surpriseto bring it off. In due courseproperly worded communiqueswould reveal that there was lifein the old lion yet.

Johnny G. embroidered theidea. He felt it was a waste ofeffort to rush in and out, like apostman in a leper colony. Heproclaimed that we should landa small force, which would op-erate guerilla->style at night andthen lie up during the day. Indue course, after inflicting ac-ceptable damage, the groupwould rendezvous with one ofthe MGB's. There was a pause.Then somebody asked about supplies. And what were the chapgoing to eat, bearing in mindthat most of the French didn'tseem to have made up theirminds at that time which wayto jump.

Simple, said Johnny. He'dthought of that. They'd eatgrass. As a matter of fact,he'd looked into it thoroughly.•Grass was a complete diet ifingested in sufficient bulk andchewed properly. He cited au-thorities.

Met with scepticism, he trot-ted off to London where herouted out some chums wearingthe same tie. They were pret-ty busy fending off requests formore private armies, but theygave him a hearing, the moreso as he looked a bit like Chan-di and was endowed with a bur-ning intensity that gave to everlunatic schemes the surfacesheen of feasibility.

He_ came back, not with ablessing, but with a "sugges-tion" to Gus to try it out; giveit a dummy run. Gus was furi-ous, but as he'd used essential-ly the same technique to assemble his own circus, he couldn'tcomplain.

Twelve)Johnny was told he could

pick a dozen men and startfeeding them grass. I can't re-member how it was worded onPart II orders, but it amountedto a ten-day trial, with theM.O. to provide a daily checkand drag out the bodies.

Johnny picked his men andoutlined the conditions of thetest. Each morning the groupwas to be led out to a differentfield and told to get outside abale of green grass, handpluck-ed and fresh as all blazes. Wat-er could be drunk in unlimitedquan'tity. But nothing else. Ab-solutely and positively nothing.If we held out for ten days, itwould be proof positive that wehad the wherewithall to inflictpunishing blows upon the Germ-ans.

He waxed eloquent. Maybewe could even cut down on thenumber of convoys bringing inwheat, bacon and other refine-ments. I swear he really belie-ved it. The men looked atJohnny and said nothing. TheBritish private soldier bides histime.

After the fourth day, Johnnybegan to flag a bit, but therest of us blossomed.

One chap even put on weight.Nick, a Canadian from the Ma-ritimes, had even graduated tofrying up grass rissoles in amesstin. We just turned intohuman cows, eating and lyingaround among the buttercups inthe sunshine. The M.O. saidhe'd never seen a healthierbunch.

Johnny, getting weaker bythe hour, was ecstatic, irradiat-ed like Joan of Arc. My God,this was going to revolutionizelogistics, and it was all sodamned simple!

On the eighth day we werestill in the pink, but Johnnycalled off the test when he hadto go into dock and be fed anourishing chicken broth. Heheld earnest consultations with,the M.O. from his bedside,trying to account for the factthat we were thriving on grassand clearly he wasn't. Therewas talk of varying metabolismthe calorific norms of alfalfaversus clover and much else.

MARSH WEIRDEES: INVERTEBRATESTwo of the most abundant freshwater inverte-

brates are: "A" Daphnia (water flea) and "B"Gammarus (scud) or sideswimmer). Found in clearwater in marshes, lakes and rivers, these smallorganisms are an important food of fish andducks, they are also preyed upon by larger in-vertebrates and insects. They often occur in in-credible numbers, "Scud" at times coloring thewater red, brown, purple or green by their con-centrations. "Water fleas" measure 0.2 to 0.3millimeters in length, the "Scud" 5 to 20 milli-meters. Both swim about freely, the "Scud" isable to walk and crawl on vegetation on the mudor sand bottom. The 'overhead' fringe-like armsof the "Water flea" are used to filter and sweep

But he was licked. He couldn'tgo back to London with anyprovable body of fact.

For some time after he look-ed injured, wearing his crownof guilt like a bowler, the weaklink in the chain, the man whohad to be carted off the provingground.

He was given a posting short-ly after recovering his elansufficiently to propound anotherscheme involving the construc-tion of a hollow plastic cow,with observation flap, whichwas to be transported across thechannel and stationed in a fieldoverlooking a strategic road,from which vantage point theoccupant could keep a tally ofpassing tanks and soldiery.

To the end he never forgaveus. Nor could he understandhow men made of palpably cru-der stuff without benefit ofschool tie, could summon thestrength to endure where hecould not. The M.O. couldhave told him. One night hecame by the village fish andchip shop just as negotiations
