Mr. Portlock told Drift- three peop|e from the Fu|_wood Monday that the dec-ision of Fulford Hall Comm-ittee to go it on their ownhas placed the local Cen-tennial Committee in a veryconfused position.

(Well, they goofedagain. It was Mrs. M. Gyveswho was chairman of theFulford Hall meeting andcentennial discussion onThursday night, and NOTCol. Maurice Peiler as mis-stated by the Colonist re-port. Col. Peiler, being atthe meeting, was asked tospeak on the Centennial com-mittee plans which he didand well. One page of thereport sent to Victoria gotmis-laid somehow so - thingsgot a little twisted. Sorry -next time I'll pin them to-gether.)FULFORD - With a repres-entative of 35 people fromthe district, South SaltspringIsland decided January 21to nave their own centenn-ial project.

The meeting was held inthe Fulford Hall and preced-ed the annual Hall Comm-ittee meeting.

Col. M. Peiler, Chair-man of fne Sjltsprlnj Island

ford area"It now appears",says

Mr.Portlock, "that the Pro-vincial Centennial Authori-ties are prepared to recog-nize another committee onthe island representing Ful-ford ."

Mr. Portlock says thepresent Centennial Committ-ee, headed by Col. Peiler,has worked Very hard on theproject and have made achoice of the Boat BasinPark as a suitable islandCentennial Project. "Beforeany further plans are madethe status of the local comm-ittee must be clarified.."stated Mr. Portlock

**********************Centennial Committee wasasked to speak By Chair-man Mrs. M. Gyves. Hegave a fair and comprehen-sive report on the activitiesof his committee. The dec-ision to turn the boat basininto a park and centre ofattraction, he said, was dec-ided on only after muchconsideration. None of theother suggestions seemed tofit into the requirements

" and the small financial bud-get. "We had hoped for oneSaltspring Island project,"said the speaker, "But wecan see the difficulties withso scattered a population.Our residential populationis not as large as we thoughtas many newcomers do notcount in the census yet, sofinances will be somewhatlimited." He pointed outthat with North and Southof the Island counted, thetotal comes barely to 2000which will mean around$4000 available in thegrant, and per capita doll-ars. Of the 2000 populat-ion. 490 are in the South

NEVER WAS SO MUCH OWED BY SO MANY TO THEGENIUS THAT WAS WINSTON CHURCHILL.

A great personality jjst past 90 years of age, onewhose like we shall not see again in our time, died earlySunday morning after a brief illness.

This man has left an indelible mark on the pages ofhistory and will long be remembered for many contribut-ions made to human progress.

Probably the major contribution for which he will beremembered most and which he made after he was 65 yearsof age, was his magnificent leadership and indomitablecourage in World War 11. In 1939 with matchless oratoryhe was able to whip the spirit of the almost beaten AlliedEurope to new shining effort and, having done this, heprovided the military know-how to leac the way to ultim-ate and complete victory.

He was truly gifted and gave all in a very long life.It is ended. It is fortunate that he lived long enoughafter peace was won to receive many examples of gratit-ude and affection from people all around the earth.

IF THE FREE WORLD SHOULD LAST ANOTHERTHOUSAND YEARS,PEOPLE WILL STILL SAY THIS WASA GIANT AMONG MEN.

end. Col. Peiler felt thatthey would like to have theone project as a lastingmonument to the Island.

"We tried to find a morecentral project fhan theboat oasi.i, " he said, "infact, we crawled all overmountains, up MaxwellPark, looking for park landbut none was available.Other suggestions were farbeyond our budget - onesuggestion was that we puta bridge over Sansum Narr-ows I""We are getting the co-op=eration of the organizationsChamber of Commerce,Lion's Club, I.O.D.E.andothers, we hope, and wouldreally like to have bothends of the Island pull to-gether in one project, Col.Peiler said. He furtherstated that he hoped anybad feelings between thetwo ends of the Island haddied out.

Bob Akerman spoke onthis and said as far as theresidents and old timersknew there never had beenbad feelings. He couldn'tspeak for any newcomers, ,but even there, no one wasaware of any discord. "Wehave had good healthy com-petition in the past sports,and friendly rivalry but nobad feelings exist as far aswe know", he said. He went

on to say that with themany elderly people in thedistrict, with little means oftransportation, the boatbasin, while a worthy pro-ject for the immediate vic-inity of Ganges, it wouldbe of little use to localpeople. He felt that weshoulddosomething to com-memorate the past lOOyears."I feel, and I know othersdothatwe would be fallingdown if we didn't do some-thing that would be a cen-tennial monument to thewonderful work done in thepast by all our pioneers,and to all who have seenthe 100 years go by, or apart of them. "

Figuring it all out,everyone present decidedour community would bebetter with it s own projectand that's how the votewent when a show of handswas called for. The votewas unanimous. A heartyvote of thanks was accord-ed Col. Peiler who leftafter he was assured by thepeople that the communitywould help in any way poss-ible to assist in the Gangeschosen project.

A further meeting ofthe Centennial project atFulford wi l l be held later,after contact has been made

It is regrettable that the Fulford Hall Committee madea decision last Thursday evening at their annual meetingto plan their own centennial project. Not that this paperdisagrees with their desire and indeed their right so to dobut only such a decision, taken at a meeting of this kindgives the impression that it was a community decision.

It was our understanding that this committee had plan-ned to call a public meeting of the whole South Saltspringarea to consider the matter and then make a decision.Such a meeting was called and scheduled before Christ-mas but the inclement weather forced its postponement.At least we thought it was a postponement.lt appears nowto have been a cancellation.

*************************************************Last week we ran a story and pictures of the major

construction and renovations presently going on at SwartzBay. We made small but pointed remarks about the rathermessy business of trying to walk through the oozy mud tothe ferry dock. The implication was that at least to someextent some inconvenience of this kind was unavoidableand expected.

Little did we realize this minor inconvenience was on-ly a curtain raiser. We visited the swamp again this pastweek on our regular city jaunt and lo and behold the pow-ers that be had outdone themselves!tg;. Now you are directed by waving arms and flashlights•jfetake a sharp left turn immediately your wheels touchland.... .from this point you take a circuitous routethrough the deepest part of the swamp and ooze with yourwheels spinning fruitlessly in the air because your car ishigh-centred in the rut just made by the trucks haulingtons of rock thataway just before you arrived.

We have never seen a stretch of so called highway inthat condition since away back in the days of the modelT and prairie mud. Your car literally ploughs the top off.the centre of this barnyard cow-path with your bumperacting as a sort of bulldozer.

At least two cars have been reported severely damag-ed in one day by this trip of some two hundred yards.One man having a new undercoating job neatly scrapedoff and another arriving on the ferry with mud and gravelin the clutch & his motor sounding like a pipe and drumband.

Really Mr. Gaglardi, do you have to to to such len-gths to make your tired apology noticed? Surely the FerryAuthority or the Government, or the Engineer in charge,or somebody could figure our a way to have the travellingpublic cross this section of construction with less hazardto the nerves and a lot less expensive to one's automobilewhich after all is an investment of some major consequencethese days.

I wonder what sort of obstacle course they'll figureout for next week?

It is a little difficult tocomment on the measuresthat have been proposedunder the Speech from theThrone. When the actualBills are presented they maygive a completely differentpicture than we would getby hearing or reading theSpeech from the Throne.

However, one of themost important items to comebefore us without doubtwill be the proposed Bill onmedical services. Alongwith many citizens of theProvince, I have been hop-ing that B.C. would embarkon a comprehensive medical

There are also some goodfeatures proposed for legis-lative action. The Govern-ment is recognizing the in-creasing need for educationby providing a great dealmore money for vocationalschools, universitiesand jun-ior colleges as well as in-creased grants for schooldistricts.

Another encouragingitem is the promise to amendthe Pollution control Act.Pollution control has be-come increasingly importantwith the large number ofpulp mills being developedin our province. We arepromised that amendmentsto this Act will deal partic-ularly with respect to water-resource management. Thisis very important but thereis increasing medical evid-ence that we should be giv-ing a great deal morethought to the hazards ofair pollution.

With all the hue andcry that was raised last yearabout the government's att-itude towards commerciaexploitation of park lands,wewi l la l l be awaiting witha great deal of anticipationthe legislation promised re-garding the establishmentof a Regional Park Authority

from soup, drop in a lettuceleaf. The fat will saturatethe leaf which can bethrown away.

When lemons becomehard, don't throw them out.Pour boiling water overthem and let stand for about10 minutes before removingfrom water and reaming orsqueezing.

To reclaim oversaltedsoup, slice a raw potato in-to it. Let soup simmer a-bout 10 minutes and thendiscard potato which willcontain a lot of the salt.

Place fish fillets onlettuce leaves before plac-ing in a pan for baking.This prevents fish fromsticking to pan. Discardlettuce before serving.

About one half of thevitamin C contained in acan of peas is in the vege-table and about one half inthe juice. Use that juicewith Oxo beef or chickenbouillon as a soup, gravy oras abase for gelatine salads.

The Cougars were lead-ing 12toO at the end of thesecond period and wereplaying hard in an attemptto acquire a shutout fortheir alert goaly, Dave Ro-land but Dick Bates and

Fred Moulton fired in theonly two goals for the Left-overs, early in the thirdperiod.

Referee, Corporal F.Rhodes awarded the sharp-shooter, Ken Kyler of theCougars, who came up with8 goals, as the first star;Terry Slingsby of the Left-oversassecondstarand Dave

Roland third star.In the second game the

same afternoon, the CentralBlack Hawks shaded the Salt 'Spring Dynamiters bya score

increased in knowledge un-der the shouts of encourage-ment from their most enthu-siastic coach, Cpl. Rhodes.

The top goal scorer and firststar was Larry Ginn of theBlack Hawks. Larry fired infive of the six goals whichhelped him in being award-

WEEK-END OF FUN"Gee, that was fun, " and"We had a wonderful day",were the winners comments.

The contest sponsoredby the Student Councildance committee attractedkeen interest. The danceattendance reached an all-timehighas over 125 youngpeople danced to the musicof the Nite Lites.

The contest winners,Lynn Carlson and Bill Gurdjoined their partners, Nor-ma Ackerman and MorryAkerman for a day on thetown, paid for by the dancecommittee.

The "foursome1, escort-ed by Mr. and Mrs. M. By-

ron journeyed to Victoria

where they visited the WaxMuseum, attended a show,and enjoyed dinner by can-dlelight. During the after-noon the group visited Mr.A. Hepburn, a patient in

St. Joseph's Hospital. De-spite the snowy weather

the group had a most enjoy-

able da/.Said Mr. Byron, "it was

a pleasure to accompany

these youngsters. Their int-erest in the historical aspectof the Wax Museum showecthat todays young people doappreciate our cultural her-

itage. The members of thisgroup were real sports. Bothmy wife and I enjoyed theircompany".

Although Saturday eve-

ning's activities were can-celled because of the poweroutage, and Sunday's trailride was snowed out, we

wish to thank Mr. KenRalph for his interest andoffer of entertainment. The

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 Pnu i'

committee looks forward tofinishing'off the week-endof fun when the weatherimproves.

IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF A COLDER CLIMATE"TOR NORTH AMERICA?

Our second heavy snowfall of this winter has made

'•• us wonder if perhaps John Smith, BCDA Supervising Hor-

ticulturist is right when he asks in the January issue of

"Country Life" if the wet colder climate will continue.Mr. Smith says that back in 1956 Dr. H.C. Willett,

professor of meteorology at MIT forecast that the North

American climate was becoming colder. He felt 1950 was

the turning point and by 1965 to 1970 we will return to

old-fashioned winters endured in the 1830's. (Does any-one still remember?)

For the Pacific northwest Dr. Willett forecast thatglaciers will again advance and generally cooler moister

weather than in the first half of the century could be ex-pected, the article explains.

Whether meteorologists are more accurate in their

long-term generalizations than they are in their day byday forecasts remains to be seen.

OTTAWA - Canada now has a Centennial symbol: a styl -ized maple leaf.

The design is composed of eleven equilateral trianglesarranged to form a symbolic maple Jeaf. Ten triangles re-present the provinces and one, the apex, represents theterritories of the Canadian North.

The design has been approved by the Board of Direc-tors of the Centennial Commission together with the Nat-ional Conference on the Centennial of Confederation, alarge representative advisory body composed of 60 mem-bers - 20 representing provincial governments and 40members at large representing all Canadians.

During the past year the Commission held a contest tofind such a symbol. Judges awarded first prize to GillesCoutu, Montreal, with second place going to HeinerHegeman, Pointe Clare, Quebec, and third prize toHarry Aslin of Montreal.

There was a young ladyI know,

Who forgot to "adhesive"her toe,

She skidded on ice -whatshe said wasn't nice

But she cracked her handand elbow.

Sunday morning saw afairly big alder tree acrossthe water intake at tne damand the . . . . thing wasn't

working so - no water untilsaid tree was removed andpipe connected. And downby Frank Smit.-'s place, a

telephone pole had thebends-it was leaning tired-ly across the road, not quiteobstructing traffic but look-ed as if it might any minute.Someone called the lines-man and by noon, the pole

was back on straight dutyand all was Jake again .

There are no crocusescoming up in the garden -I went to look last sunnyFriday, and before I knewit, snowdrops were poppingout everywhere only theywere coming DOWN, notup I About 5 inches of themand it just "ain't" fairofthe weather man, we thoughtSpring was coming near!Even the birds seem in adisgusted mood, scrappingand every-bird-for=himselfsort of feeding habits. Soit is double rations for awild life these days.

There has been muchappreciation expressed forthe overtime work of main-tenance crews on the pow-er, phone and highways ,during the bad weatherdays and nights. We owe alot to those men . Saturdaynight, cars coming off theferry, had a time gettingup the hill by the FulfordDrive Inn - one car balkedand for a short time, therewere some 10 cars waitingin a long impatient line.Finally all got away. FrankPyatt got stuck on the Isa-bel la Point Road but mana-ged to get going otter anunscheduled delay of maybeone hour. That was MondayIt was a bonny mess allaround, two light failures,came last week, about anhour each time.
