Director for the past twoyears, Mr. Holmes has takenpart in the preliminary plan-ning discussions of the boardsince the board and planningfirst came into being.
In a prepared statement,Mr. Holmes told DRIFTWOOD
"I have decided to run forre-election as director of theCapital Regional District. Weare well along the road toland-use control but will, Iseriously hope, preserve thecharacter of the Gulf Islands.By this I mean a rural atmos-phere and not a chunk of me-tropolitan suburbia.
"I want to see land controllegislation largely completed,Right now we are at the cross-roads.
1 Quite a number of people"have been very kind the lasttwo weeks in calling me orwriting to ask me to stay withit."
On Monday Mr. Holmesconfirmed he plans to staywith it.
Already named for the el-ection is James Wilkinson, ofVesuvius.
No candidates have beennamed for the seat on the re-gional board from the outer
. islands. Incumbent Miss JoanPurchase has not yet indicat-ed her plans.
School board enjoys equalpopularity. Nobody wants th{job and only candidates forth-coming so far are the incum-bents seeking a further term.

tion to Gulf Islanders to saywhere they want to go fromhere.

SALT SPRINGIS BIGGERTHAN ALL
Regional District PlanningDirector A. H. Roberts wassurprised at the size of the isl-ands when he did a rece'nt ap-praisal.
Mr. Roberts told the region-al board on Monday that thearea of Salt Spring Island al-one is greater than all the sev-en municipalities of the capit-al region put together.
Mrs. Elsie Thacker, left,receives congratulations fromArchdeacon and Mrs. G.H.Holmes.
Mrs. Elsie Thacker, secret-ary of the Salt Spring IslandOld Age Pensioners' Organiza'tion since its inception,accepted a framed plaque fromFrank Richards, president ofthe island Chamber of Com-merce. Plaque confirms Mrs.Thacker*s nomination as Citi-zen of the Year. Award wasmade at St. George's Hall onSaturday. Mrs. Thacker hasworked without cease foryears in the interests of thepensioners of Salt Spring Isl-and. She is also provinciallyappointed Counsellor for theAging.
BUILDING PLAN AND NEED TO
AWA/T FORMAL CONSENTCabinet approval for the
Gulf Islands School BuildingReferendum has not yet beenreceived, warned Mrs. loneGuthrie, chairman of theschool board, last week.
"It is not probable, but itis conceivable that the boardcould be refused permission B
go ahead with the referend -urn," said the chairman.
Mrs. Guthrie explained tha'every effort must be made tofamiliarize voters with theterms of the plan and hopethat the Cabinet says "Goahead!"
On Monday afternoon theregional board approved thedistribution of a planning su-mmary to islanders with a lisiof four options. Residents ofthe Gulf Islands may thensignify approval of the boardsvarious outlines or they mayoffer an entirely new plan-ning project of their own.
The "Options for the Isl-ands" were introduced byChairman Hugh Curtis, who
emphasized that islanders areto be invited to still furtherchoose their own planning de-stiny.
It is the first time such acourse has been taken in plai-ning a community in BritishColumbia, he told directors.
"It's probably a first for allof Canada," he added.
Planner Tony Roberts out-lined the optional patternswhich planning might take.
OPTION A LOOKING AT BRIDGESOption A covered the poss-
ible development resultingfrom the effect of bridges.Mr. Roberts explained that thaconsideration had developedfrom a newspaper article re-porting a survey by the thenhighways minister P.A.Gagl-ardi. There is no discussionat the present time of bridgesby the department, nor isthere any commitment inthat direction, commentedthe planning director.
A sketch map showed thebridges linking Swartz Bayand Salt Spring Island, andSalt Spring connecting withG alia no.
"I feel we have an obliga-tion to put it before the peop-le on the islands and off the
islands," explained the plan-ner. "To ignore it would bewrong and would not give thepeople concerned an opport-unity to react to it."
Bridges, commented Mr.Roberts, would obviously havevery profound effects on theislands. Bridges would bringnew major centres of concen-trated population to the isl-ands. The sketch map show-ed a centre of population atthe Isabella Point area, wherebridge ends its first jump;with further population cent-res at the north end of SaltSpring Island and on NorthGaliano.
The Mayor of Victoria sug-gested that bridges should notbe considered on the groundsof their undesirability.
OPTION B FROM NOW FORWARD
Option B looks at the isl-ands as they are likely to de-velop.
"It visualizes the kind ofdevelopment that has beengoing on over the last 10 to20 years in the islands," exp-lained the planner.
Option B looks at the areason the islands which have al-ready been developed and al-so looks at those which couldbe added to.
Island properties would liein one of five zones. Smalllot development areas wouldfollow the island centres asthey are today . Maps prepar-ed by the planning departmentof the Capital Regional Dist-rict showed the small lot areaas about 10% of the area of theislands. Lot sizes are suggest-ed as 0.4 acres where water isavailable and 0.6 acres wherethere is no water.
Rural area would embraceabout 15% of the islands. Thesefigures are made from a rapidassessment by a reporter duringthe course of the meeting andare not measured areas.
Four other types of land useare visualized under Option B.
Rural areas would includefarms and kindred uses in ac-cordance with the general pat-tern of regional definitions,retaining the 10-acre mii.imunlot size.
Forest areas would be limit-ed to a minimum lot size of20 acres.
Upland and lowland conser-vation areas would be chosenfor their scenic and recreation-al value. They would be sel-ected to preserve the wildlifeof all kinds, to preserve thefragile ecology; to reduce pol-lution hazard and to safeguardwatersheds in use today or likely to be sought in the future.
Mr. Roberts interrupted himself at this point to remind hisaudience that all his outlinewas leading to the establish-ment of a clear board policyon regional development andnot to a by-law.
The policy of the board wilh.regard to the future of the isl-ands must come first, he em-phasized. The by-law willfollow that policy.

STRUCTURE CONDEMNED ALREADY NO OBVIOUS ALTERNATIVES
GANGES SCHOOL DEPENDS ON REFERENDUM APPROVALDecember 11 is a day of con
frontation for students at SaltSpring Island elementaryschool. If the school buildingreferendum gains support ofisland taxpayers the schoolwill be renovated. If the ref-erendum is defeated then theschool is in trouble.
Condemned by the fire marshall, the elementary schoolwill cost $180,000 to recon-struct in a safe manner. Theschool district has no meansof raising this sum except byreferendum.
On Thursday evening lastweek the three musketeers,Chairman lone Guthrie, Tru-stee George Heinekey andVice-Principal Glenn Wood-ley, outlined school plans andproblems to Salt Spring LionsClub.
What happens to the eleme'ntary school should the refer-endum go down to defeat,they were asked. The ans-wers were not entirely clear,but subsequently Mrs. Guthrieexplained that the emergencyclause in the school act per-
mits an emergency purchaseof up to $50,000. This sumwould not look at the workneeded at the elementaryschool, she explained.
If the fire marshal's depart-ment were to close the schoolthe students would have no-where to go.
"We desperately need thebuildings we are asking for,"urged Mrs. Guthrie.
The trustees plan to stripout the elementary school,tearing down the walls andpartitions to the studs in order
to refinish with fireproof mat-erials.
At the same time the styleof classroom will be changedto provide" for variable sizedrooms.
The referendum also callsfor a new industrial arts andhome economics building inorder to increase facilities forsecondary school students.There is a shortage of facilit-ies for students in both coursessaid Mrs. Guthrie.
The planned administrationbuilding will serve the whole
district. Facilities of the re-source centre will be availableto all schools of the islands,she explained.
Speaking of the projectedcommunity use of the plannedactivity room for the elemen-tary school, Mrs. Guthrie ex-plained that it would providestage facilities for local enter-tainment as well as a projec-tion booth for film shows.
"It will be an excellent co-mmunity facility," said Mrs.Guthrie.

Cost Of Rental Under FireCost of rental of a commu-
nity hall attached to the ele-mentary school came in forcriticism when school boardspokesmen addressed SaltSpring Lions Club on Thursdayevening.
The activity room is plan-ned to seat about 500 people,the club was told. It will beabout two-thirds the size ofthe high school gymnasium.
Trustees were not sure ofthe cost of rental to commu-nity groups. This would bepart of the agreement to besigned by the school boardand the regional district sugg-ested Chairman lone Guthrie.
Cleaning costs were the ba-rrier, the officials were told.
Under the union agreementwith the Canadian Union ofPublic Employees, no one isallowed to clean the hall ex-cept union personnel, explained George Heinekey.
If the hall is used in the
course of the week, the jani-torial staff are there to super-vise and to clean up, he said.When the facilities are usedon a Friday evening there is •no staff on duty the following
morning and rates are payableas overtime.
Average cost of cleaningthe hall amounts to about $90,he stated.
A community facility cost-ing $100 a night did not appealto some members.

The award was decided up-on earlier in the year butcould not bs presented as Mrs.Thacker was in Eastern Canadaon an extended holiday, ex-plained Mr. Richards. Following her return the presentationwas delayed due to change ofpersonnel in the Chamber.
Plans were made to presentthe plaque at the recent Cent-ennial tea, but Mrs. Thacker,unaware of this, went toSooke to attend to her dutiesas O.A.P.O. Provincial coun-sellor.
In spite of this game of tag,the O.A.P.O. bazaar seemeda most appropriate place tomake the presentation in viewof Mrs. Thacker's many yearsof hard work on behalf of sen-ior citizens.
O.A . P.O. president Dr. G.II. Holmes introduced Mr. Ri-chards. Mrs. Holmes present-ed a corsage to Mrs. Thacker"With love from all the mem-bers" .

Mr. Holmes also warned theboard that planning which re-quires concentration of thepopulation into small areaswould be unpopular. Gulf isl-anders always were dispersed,he observed.

Dave was accompanied bythe new Leos. Also guest ofthe Lions were Janet Roth welland Pat Hind-Smith, two of-ficers of the club.
, Dave Williams recalled theevents of the year, 1970-71for the young club. Member-ship was alsmost eliminatedby the graduation ceremoniesin the summer, when most ofthe club left school to seekemployment. Membershipwas down to two.
There have been threemeetings this year, reportedthe ex-president and there annow 14 members with a num-ber of others already interest-ed.
The speaker urged a chargein membership rules. Islandclub members would like achange to minimum age of14 in order to provide a back-log of recruits for later years,he urged.
Main event of the year, re-called the speaker, was the

BUT LOOK AT THE COST!On December II, property owners of Salt Spring
Island will be invited to give their support to a ref-erendum by-law asking for the sum of $50,000 toprovide community recreation facilities at the proj-ected activity room at Salt Spring Island ElementarySchool.
The plan is impressive. The community facilitieswould include a properly set-up and lighted stage,with fire curtain and movie projectors. The entirehall would be acoustically designed so that a speak-er or a singer or a microphone would have somechance of being heard.
The facilities would include a meeting place andevery other necessary facility here.
It would be very nice, indeed, and particularlyso in view of the complete absence on Salt SpringIsland of any hall where a voice or a noise comesout !the way it was supposed to.
But what will be the cost?High school gymnasium is available for rent to
community projects. A Friday night activity bringsa Saturday morning cleaning bill of close to $100.
The gymnasium is part of the school. The schooldistrict has an agreement with the trade union rep-resenting the non-teaching staff whereby all clean-ing work is theirs. Hence, on a Saturday morning,the staff come in at overtime rates to clean up afterFriday night's party.
That is the school pattern.The projected activity room at the elementary
school would, presumably, come under the samerules. On this basis the island pays out $50,000for the facilities and then $100 a night for their use.
This is not the school.The projected facility on Salt Spring Island is va-
luable and important, but it must be entirely clearbefore we cast a ballot: is this pattern to continue?
Unless the various administration boards canreach an agreement with C.U.P.E. whereby thecommunity hall could be cleaned by the groups us-ing it, there is simply no point in asking us to sup-port it.
It would be too expensive to merit its construction
Letters To The Editor
Thursday, November II, 1971
BRIDGES
Editor, Driftwood,With reference to page
eight of *Driftwood' datedNovember 4, 1971 and the ar-ticle on a seemingly import -ant discussion about bridges.
I would point out that backin the year one thousand ninehundred and fifty-nine theCanadian Broadcasting Corp-oration did broadcast a prog-ram concerning Salt SpringIsland, interviewing a numb-er of inhabitants, especiallythe old-timers and makingmuch of the easy and gentlestyle ot life when c a l l i n gcards preceded a visit to aneighbor.
One of those heard was Mr.Art Young; who at that timeowned and operated the B.A.Service Station; explaininghis plan about a suitablebridge across the Sansum Nar-rows.
If you refer to "Driftwood*of that period you will discov-er that the matter of a bridge
to the island was an animatedtopic by the Chamber of Commerce.
From then until now somuch has.been said on thissubject that the present inc-reased volume of hot air couldcreate a sub-tropical climatethereby attracting more resid-ents and making a bridge anecessity.-Kenneth R. Luton,
Box 344, Ganges.Nov. 8, 1971."
TOO HAIRY?Editor, Driftwood,
During the spring and sum-mer of this year, while I wasemployed by an establishedIsland business I was served inthe Ganges Crest. (No men-tion was made of my hairlength then even though itwas long).
I was served even thoughmany of my friends, some ofwhom had shorter hair, werenot.
In September I quit my
job to attend Art School. Thisweekend I went to the crestfor a coffee and was told thatI would be served this time,but would need a bair cut be-fore I would be served again.
I was not drunk, I was notdirty, I did not stink, I wasdressed neatly and was wear-ing shoes. I am not an anar-chist or communist or drug addiet. My hair is long, how-ever. ("Dear Crest, I am sor-ry I am not up to your stand-ards.")
-David M. Roland,Fulford,Nov. 5, 1971.
P.S. My father and brothersdo not pass their standards,either.
TOO EARLY IS TOO SOON!
Editor, Driftwood,Before the Salt Spring Isl-
and School Board contemp -lates further financial supportfor the group of parents as de-scribed by Mrs. Mary Willi-amson, I strongly urge themto spend some money on lit-erature concerning human de-velopment. They would dis-cover that teaching an eight-een-morith-old to read is lu-dicrous.
Human growth and develop-ment is a complex affair andalthough individuals developat different speeds, there is adefinite pattern that has beenproven by geneticists, scient-ists and eminent scholars.Jean Piaget, a well knownprofessor of child psychology,advanced a theory that hasyet to ba disputed, lie prop-oses that a child's intellectu-al development is a series ofsequences, the same as physi-cal, social or emotionalgrowth. Children must beready to learn anything, towalk, to jump or to read.Tasks are learned in a specif-ic order.
A second point the Boardmembers might consider is theresearch that'substantiates thetheory that many of the prob-lems children have with read-ing is that they started toosoon! They often have diffic-ulty with visual and concept-ual perception, and frequent-ly have difficulty because thereading material is irrelevantand unmeaningful. SchoolBoards spend great sums ofmoney and time on readingreadiness tests because theyare convinced that the "teach-able moment" is of primeconcern. While it has beendiscovered that some childrenare ready to begin to learn toread before the traditionalfirst year of school, I haveyet to find any reliable res-earch that indicates that inf-ants have attained that level.
A basic and time-proventheory of education is that achild's own goals and object-ives must be of chief concern.Parental objectives are imp-ortant too, but must not super
Here's Doug Dane witb Bessie. They were entertaining agroup of senior citizens last week when the Salt Spring IslandCentennial Committee staged a senior citizens' pioneer tea.Senior citizens from all parts of Salt Spring Island spent a pleasantafternoon looking at picture st ex changing reminiscences andwatching movies. Some of the guests can be seen in the back-ground.
Community Exchangesible, what they would like toexchange for. Anyone-at-all isinvited to check the notices atThe Wax Works to see whetheranything registered there fits hisneeds.
B Y M A G G I SCHUBART
Community Exchange, a newnon-organization,, is beginningto function on Salt Spring Island
Its home is The "Wax Worksin Ganges, which has a bulletinboard and a phone at the serviceof-exchangers. All islandersare invited to take part by phon-ing in, or posting notices con-cerning items or services thatthey would like to exchangewith someone else, and, if pos-
cede the child's. I cannotthink of a single child who ateighteen months expressed adesire to read. To be fed,cuddled or have his diaperchanged, yes, but to read,no! Learning is a light in themind, not a load on'the memory.
Board members would dobetter to do some homeworkbefore supporting groupswhose aims are held in ridic-ule by many leading educat-ors. They should study thearea of early childhood educ-ation. By this I mean pre-schools, play-schools and kin-dergartens, staffed by welltrained personnel. These arethe priorities they should beacknowledging financially orotherwise. There is an abund'ance of literature supportingsuch schools, readily availab-le to those who wish to be in-formed.
It may be of interest to yoirreaders to know that Mrs. Wil'liamson's letter was recentlydiscussed by competent andknowledgeable professors atI1.B.C. and was dismissed asa fad, basically and educa-tionally unsound. They wereamazed that the movementwas still alive in view of thevast amount of literature con-demning it.
(Mrs . )E . C. Schuss,508 Colbeck Rd. ,Richmond.Nov. 4, 1971.
The phone number to be call-ed in either case is 537-2232.The Wax Works is open duringconventional business hours.
The first specific project ofCommunity Exchange was laun-ched with an ad in last week'sDRIFTWOOD which attemptedto match up people going off-island to Victoria, Vancouveror Duncan who might have ext-ra space available in their car,with others who lacked transpor-tation to those points.
So far, responses to the adhave been exclusively by thosewho needed a ride, so driverswith extra space are urged tonotify the Exchange.
The idea for establishing theCommunity Exchange originatedwhen a group of local people ofdiverge ages and occupations,met together to discuss possibleways of improving the qualityof life in their own small com-munity without relying on gov-ernment grants or other red tape
The idea of person-to-personco-operation is an old one, verymuch in the tradition of barn-raisings and quilting bees, butmodern patterns of living havelargely by-passed these homelyhabits.
It is hoped that the exchangeidea will ease some strain forpeople on Salt Spring Island,and that its scope will grow andbring us into closer human con-tact with each other.

LOU BUDDIS LAIDTO REST IN SMALLPENDER CEMETERY
On Sunday October 3, some35 veterans and other friendsof Lou Budd gathered at theFender cemetery.

After "Abide With Me" peo<pie placed poppies in thegrave.
Harry Johnson, who had dugthe ground, covered the asheswith earth on which friendslaid flowers.
It is a sheltered, cared-forhaven. On three sides woodsprotect the grounds. At thetop of the burial slope a soar-ing four-trunk arbutus treestands guard. Two shiningdogwoods, two centennial Al-mey crabs, planted by the W.I. in 1967, and a floweringcherry flicker gold and crim-son against the firs.
Next to Lou is James New-man, 1879-1969, who left hishouse and land to the Legion.
It is a congenial spot forfarmer Budd. The half-acrewas given in 1903 by farmerA. H. Menzies. Later ElmerBowerman added 3/4 acre. Atthe bottom of the cemeteryhill stretch 60 acres of farm-land cleared by Mr. Menziesand son Victor.

When a property is used forgolf course purposes the spe-cial tax concession is enjoyedfor as long as the property isretained for that purpose.Should it be sold for any oth-er use, notes the Salt SpringDirector Marc Holmes, thedifference between the taxpaid in past years and taxeswhich would have been leviedunder any circumstances ispayable.
If, for example, Mr.Homes told the RegionalBoard on Monday, the tax concession has saved the owners$1,000 per year over a periodof three years, the ownerswould be required to pay upthe $3,000 thus saved if theland were handed over for anyother use.
Same practice should beextended to the forests of Bri-tish Columbia, asserts Mr.Holmes. Where tax conces-sions are enjoyed in view ofthe nature of the use of theland, these should be cancel-led retro-actively should theland be diverted to some oth-er use.
Thus, any company enjoy-ing special tax privileges onforestry land would be requir-ed to pay up the savings en-joyed on provincial land tax-es at the time of any changein land use.

MEETING INSOUTH PACIFICFOR ISLANDERS
Amanda Seward and. Kim Mc-Donald of Salt Spring island,have arrived in New Zealandand joined the Haigh family fora brief holiday, before seekingwork in Auckland.
After three days in Honoluluthe girls flew to western Samoa,where they stayed with a Cana-dian family for ten days.
In Apia they were pleasantlysurprised to meet Brian Soberwho is teaching school there,and whose wife and daughter anejoining him this month. Theywent out in a catamaran canoewith Brian and Nufoa, a Samoanto look at his shrimp traps. Theywere caught in a tropical rain-storm and enjoyed swimmingback through high waves.
Nufoa introduced them tomany people and places aroundthe island. They were invitedto attend White Sunday celebr-ations, which is as important toSamoans as Christmas is here.
Amanda and Kim were the r
only two white people at thechurch service and the feast af-terwards.
Kim also attended a Bahaifeast at the other end of the is-land, and stayed overnight witha family in a grass hut.
They spent two days in Fiji,but found it difficult to get frorrNandi, where the airport waslocated, to Suva, as they hop-ed, so flew on to Auckland,andup by bus to the Haighs atWhangarei. The Ernest Haighfamily are from Salt Spring Is-and and are crossing the seas ina trimaran.

Option B presupposes that
OPT/ON C - 45 MILESOption C is the park propos-
al.On the Atlantic coast there
are eight national parks cover-ing 1,500 square miles. Onthe Pacific are 75 square milescontained in one national park- the Pacific Rim.
National support for another45 square miles of parks am-ong the Gulf Islands might begained, suggested Tony Rob-erts.
To fill Option C would ent-ail an expenditure of $15 mil-lion, suggested the planningdirector. He added that the
OPTION D - DO 17 YOOption D is the do-it-your-
self-planning kit.The bare outline of the isl-
ands will be offered for the is-lander to fill in as he will.The option may be used formodification of the other op-tions or for a completely diff-erent proposal.
In addition to the optionsoffered, the Look at the Isl-a nds will also show a develop-ment plan of North Fender Isl-and without controls and showing the island entirely divid-ed up into residential lots.Some care has been taken insetting out the subdivisionsand roads have been includedto provide for serving the lots.
"This could happen," saidMr. Roberts, "and 20% of itis in existence now."
This pattern of concentrateddevelopment could come toevery island with unrestrictedsubdivision, noted Planner Ro-berts, and the forecast is that
DIRECTORS LEAVE CHOICThe islands are a sanctuary
for low-cost living wherepeople have gone for tranqui-lity, observed Courteny Had-dock. If the islanders hadbeen given an opportunity toexpress an opinion the boardwould be better able to judge
Hugh Curtis agreed. Thatwas the whole idea of the prestntation, he explained.

vited to Plantransportation remains muchas it is today.
"In this option we see theferry service used as a deviceto help maintenance of therural atmosphere, "he caution-ed.
MILES OF PARKScapital region could not faceup to such a figure.
"If you feel that very speci-al facilities of the Gulf Islandsare worth preserving and thatother options would not guar -antee their preservation," ex-plained the planner, "This, 01a variation, would be yourchoice."
Parks around the islandswould be related to pedestriantraffic and not the invasion ofthe islands by cars. The sug-gested parks would be locatedon all islands.
IJ YOURSELF PLAN10-15 years without planningwould bring it here.
It is the beginning of a pro-cess, concluded the planner.He askd the board for. author-ity to send a copy of the planto all islanders so that theymay all have a chance of ex-amining it and making theirown observations and recom-mendations.
Chairman Hugh Curtismade the same point.
"I would like to make itclear to everyone in thisroom," he asserted, "thatthis is not a plan about to gointo effect. This is a start-ing point for discussion andcomment. It is nothing more
It was too early, suggestedJohn Tisdalle, MLA, upon in-vitation to comment, to takea stand on it.
"It is very worthwhile for alaunching pad for ideas," heagreed.
:HO/CE TO /SLANDERS"I see a lot of things there
that the islanders won't like,*she said. Director Haddockdid not think islanders wouldaccept a bridge.
Approval of distribution ofthe alternative plans wasmoved by Director StanleyDear and Director Frances El-ford.
Salt Spring Director MarcHolmes was not sure of thepattern of small lot develop--ment and proposed an amend-ment. He asked for deletionof the minimum lot size anda return of the proposal tothe planning committee forreconsideration.
Existing lots on Salt SpringIsland would provide for apopulation of 6,000 to 7,000
- already, he warned. Theremust be a maximum to thenumber of lots desirable inorder to restrict the ultimate
population, he suggested.Average small-lot develop-
ment envisaged would -bring apopulation of 20,000, saidDirector Holmes.
The motion was defeatedby a "weighted vote", where-by each director voted thestrength of the community hespeaks fur rather than a sim-ple show of hands.
Directors supported Direct-or Holmes, by a simple 8-7majority, but his amendmentwas defeated 20-19 in strengthof votes cast against it. Boardasked islanders to make thechoice rather than themselves
The Salt Spring Island dir-ector also urged that subdivid-ers be required to allocate anarbitrary percentage of theirland for park purposes muchas is required when dividingwaterfront property. Thiswould ensure a break in thesolidity of developments aswell as striking a balance offairness among property own-ers, he explained. Such a re'quirement would bring a clos-er balance between the prop-erty owner permitted to freeljsplit up his property and theowner restricted to 10-acrelots.
The directors spoke onMarc Holmes' amendment.
Said Planning CommitteeChairman Archie Galbraith,"The people can indicatewhat they want to do withtheir islands.. .this is thename of the game. We areaccused too often of tellingthe islanders what to do withtheir islands."
Joan Purchase was certainthat most people would obj-ect to such small lots.
"But I agree with DirectorGalbraith that they are beinggiven the opportunity of say-ing so...and I know theywill."
Director Edith Gunning sup-ported Mr. Holmes. He wasan islands director and if hefelt further consideration wasnecessary she would go alongwith him.
Director Haddock agreed.

died in Lady Minto Hospital orThursday, Nov. 4. He was83 years of age. He left nofamily in Canada and is surv-ived by relatives in Sweden.
Island life was insulation without isolation, he suggestedand small lot developmentcould threaten taxes.
The four .options are notproposals, observed DirectorPallister, of Langford. Hecould see another 1,000 op-tions from Salt Spring Islandalone.
Oak Bay Mayor Elford sup-ported Mr. Holmes on thegrounds that the delay wouldbe very minor if the present-ation were held back.
Hugh Curtis voted againstthe amendment. It would bedoing what the board wasseeking to avoid, he asserted,expressing an opinion on theproposals betore the islandershave a chance to examinethem.
Last mutterings came aboutthe bridge factor. MayorCourtney Haddock describedit as a scare tactic.
Chairman Curtis agreed thatbridges would be undesirable.He would only support a prop-osal to put in bridges in theunlikely event of a majorityof islanders calling for them.
The Options for the Islandswere unanimously supportedand details of the distributionwill be worked out by the
board.Within minutes of the cl ose
of the meeting there was gen-eral agreement among the
large group of islanders atten-ding tfie meeting that onlyproperty-owners should be per-mitted to express an opinion.

Bay wharf came in for somediscussion at last Wednesday'smeeting of the Galiano Chamber of Commerce. It hadbeen decided at the previousmeeting that a letter be sentto the department of Trans-port pointing out the poor condition of this structure. Thechamber asked whether it wasfeasible to keep it open, orshould the whole structure beremoved.
The need for waiting rooms'for passengers at both SturdiesBay and Montague Harbourwill be further pursued. Itwas strongly recommendedthat they oe built soon.
Both the road condition andthe boat launching ramp atthe Montague Harbour MarinePark were discussed. In an-swer to earlier letters, theprovincial department ofhighways explained that theroad is in poor condition be-cause of work expected to bedone, to lay water lines.
Assurance was also receiv-ed from this department thatthe boat launching ramp willbe repaired as soon as crewsare free from present assign-ments elsewhere on the island

HISTORIANS TOMEET AT FENDERNOVEMBER 17
The Gulf Islands HistoricalSociety will be holding ameeting at Pender Island'sPort Washington Hall on Wed-nesday, Nov. 17, in the after-noon.
Guest speaker will be Will-ard Ireland, provincial archiv-ist. Mrs. Clair MacAllisterreports hearing from Mrs. Donaid New in England, to rem -ind everyone that she and Mr.New would be returning intime for the meeting, and toremind everyone to be there.
FULFORDBY BEA HAMILTONQuietly and without fuss or
flag waving, the new ferryterminal at Fulford went intouse on Friday, Oct. 29. Thefollowing Monday, I went toVictoria and was impressedby the new waiting room withits warmth and bright shiningwindows, where the whole ofthe harbour shows to advant -age. The sun was shiningand a sprinkle of snow on Mt.Bruce - or wasn't I supposedto mention that? - added anote of interest to the overallscene. Somehow, it alllooks different and to get fa-miliar landmarks, you haveto look up at the tall poplarsby the Maude's home andspot Nancy Patterson comingdown to the Coffee Shop.
Men are still working alongthe sides and on the old ferrydock. Certainly it must havebeen wonderful for the crew-men on the ferry to have on-ly to push a lever or button

The best player wasStephen Bryan, our goalie.Philip Kyler, Neil Andersonand Sydney Jones were veryaggressive players.
The team coached by TomToynbee and Doug Burke, di-vision o, played at Duncanand tied 0-0 with DuncanUnited team. This was an ex-cellent game against one ofthe top teams in the League.Last time out for Duncan Uni-ted they beat Salt Spring 4-0.

There will be only one pub-lic hearing for the interim zo-ning by-law for the outer isl-ands. On Tuesday afternoonthe zoning by-law will bepresented to islanders for theiifinal comments in Port Wash-ington Hall on North PenderIsland.
Director Joan Purchase hadlong planned a separate hear-ing on each island. After aseries of unsuccessful attemptsto call hearings on each isl-and, the advisory planning commission recommended thatthe plan be abandoned andone hearing be called to cov-er all islands.
There has been a separateplanning meeting on each isl-and, when islanders were invited to examine the progressto date and to make recomm-endations.
The final form of the inter-im zoning by-law followsclosely the pattern alreadyannounced. A' number ofchanges have been made fol-lowing representations fromisland residents.
The by-law provides forsix separate dwellings on a50-acre parcel and for twodwellings on a one-acre lot.

cism of the earlier by-lawthat it allowed no more use cf50 acres than it did of a smallholding.
The provision for two dwel-lings on one acre is more re-strictive than the original by-law and tighter than the SaltSpring Island interim zoningby-law.
GANGES SCHOOL(From Page One)
Glenn Woodley spoke of thefacilities in the elementaryschool.
Home economics are limit-ed in scope to grades 8, 9 anc10, he reported. Grades llanc12 on Salt Spring Island cannoimajor in home economics,headded.
The shop only takes 24 stu-dents at a time.
"It should have two shopsand a draughting room to beequal with surrounding areas,"he told the Lions.
The elementary school is afire hazard and its conditionsare very poor, said the vice-principal.
The ventilation is inadequ-ate and even at this time ofthe year the temperature mayrise to 80 deg. by 10 am, hestated. The windows repres-ent wasted space and only contribute to the excessive heat,said Mr. Woodley.
The school brings togethernew philosophies and old faci-lities, complained the speak-er.
"The hallways are wastedspace, " he observed, "andeven the plumbing is inadequ-ate!"
After two o; three washesthe taps run dry.
"I hope that the people onthe islands will support the re-ferendum and that facilitiesfor your children and minewill be improved," he said inconclusion.
Mr. Heinakey summarizedthe financial implications ofthe referendum, lie estimafied the cost of the entire prog-ram would be a mill-and-a-half.
This estimate could wellprove high, he added, in viev\of the fact that island assess-ments are going up all thetime.
"The trustees can onlybring these things to you andexplain our needs," he report-ed.
Concluding his summary,Mr. Ileinekcy told the clubmembers, "I hope you willsupport the school board..Come out to vote and bring afriend!"
Facilities for eating lunchare no longer permitted bythe department of education,George Bryer was told in replyto a question.
"Crazy!" he replied.
