Cunningham, who cited a list of objections. The beach is primarily used for swimming and there would be danger in the use of a ramp, the road is too narrow for parking or turning around, and the use of the road as access to a launching ramp would constitute an invas- ion of privacy, he suggested. Peter Arnell explained that the plans for such a use of Ontario Drive had been prepared before there was a subdivision planned there or a lot had been sold.

AIR SERVICESUNDER REVIEW
Decision is expected early inApril regarding applications al-ready made to operate augmentedair services between Victoria andVancouver and linking the GulfIslands to both terminals.
Air Transport Committee of theCanadian Transport Commissionimplemented services betweenthe islands and the mainland onan increased scale when the re-cent ferry strike reduced servicesamong the islands.
Privileges afforded air carrierswere lifted when the water ser-vice resumed.
Gerald Morriset, chairman ofthe Air Transport Committee,stated last week that he expectsa decision within the ensuing twoweeks.
shots, some of them very spec-tacular. Jay Rozzano for theAces played very well, making44 saves.
The three stars of the game aspicked by Fred Rhodes wereEric Booth, Wayne Taylor andJay Rozzano.
Next week the Senior Leagueplayoffs begin with the firstgame starting at 7:00 on Sundayevening. First place FulfordBarons place their unbeatenstreak on the line against theGanges Aces. Second placedCentral meet the fast finishingfourth place Ganges No Stars.SEASON END COMMENTS
Fulford won the senior leaguecrown taking all twelve leaguegames. This is the third seniorleague title for Fulford in fourseasons and the only year Fulforddid not win the crown was thatwhen they were not representedas a team in the league. A Ful-ford senior league team has notbeen defeated in senior leagueplay in three seasons and a Ful-ford team has only been defeat-ed once by the Central Hawksin the 1966 season.
Fulford powerful attack wasformulated mainly around threeplayers, Pat Slingsby, and thetwo Kyler brothers, Ken and RickFulford got steady goal tendingfrom Dave Roland. Dave Slings-by did a fine job as the Fulfordcoach assisted by Laurie Holl-ings.
Central placed second in theleague just.edging the GangesAces. Although they came sec-ond Central played very sporat-ically. Central had two balanc-ed lines but missed the servicesof Norman Steven^ last yearsCo-most Valuable Player. Fer-
f ie Foulis the Central goaliead some real good games but
he also had sorae really bad
f ames. Coach Bill DeLong isoping for big things in the play
offs.
Dennis Beech's Ganges Acesjust edged out of second place ,came on strong at the end ofthe season after a mid-seasonslump. Don Bates direct the Ful-ford attack and his slap shot is
the hardest in the league. JayRozzano played fairly steadythis year but not quite up to lastyear when he was the league'sbest goal tender. Their onlyproblem is beating the strongFulford team in the semi-finalsin the play-offs.
The Ganges No Stars are theup and coming team of the Sen-ior League. Terry Slingsby has
brought his youthful team fromthe dolldrums to a team whichknocked off Central, tied theGanges Aces, and startled theFulford Barons for two periods.When Central and the No Starstangle in the other semi-finalsof the play-offs it should be avery close match.
SWEET DEE-DEE
MAKES THE GRADE
Sweet Delia of Van lie (Dee-Dee) returned home from the Cal-gary and Edmonton Kennel Clubshows carrying her new title ofCanadian Champion, with a totalentry of 415 and 421 in each show.
She carries the rosettes of Bestof Breed, Best Canadian and Bestin Non-Sporting Groups besidessix trophies.

WE LIKE IT LIKE IT IS.
We like it the way it is. The residents of the GulfIslands are many-faced in -their political convictionsbut in their tastes they are conservative.
We want to keep the islands the way they are. Thiswould be number two slogan of the Gulf Islands if
slogans were to be prepared.And just how is it?There are a multiplicity of water districts on Salt
Spring Island yet majority of the island is not in a
water district.There is no record of any survey or estimate ever
having been made of the future needs of the island.The current application for a sewage outlet is alarm-
ing many residents who fear that advancing populationwill bring about a pollution of the sea although fewif any have ever considered the effects of industrial
pollution on Island waters.Even the most conservative of islanders agrees that
in face of an increasing population in Canada the is-lands are likely to develop as more people share thatenthusiasm for island living. But no effort has been
made to plan for more people.The community through various local organizations
has sought to establish launching ramps at differentplaces to allow small boat owners to get their vesselsinto the water. There has been every time an ex-pression of horror from property owners. But no property owner has paused to enquire what barrier mightexist to designate land usage in various areas.When one individual or group is fearful of a threat to
his own preperty he is up in arms at once. When thethreat dies his concern dies with it.
In years to come the Islands are destined to be exten-sively populated in comparison with their state today.
If we like it the way it is we are out of luck. Itcannot stay the way it is. But we can exert some effortto make sure that an increasing population contributesto the attraction of the islands instead of translatingthem into the monotonous eyesore of the continent's
great cities.
Letters to the EditorALARMING
Editor,Driftwood
It was encouraging to read inyour newspaper mat local assoc-iations were fighting an attemptto pollute Swanson Channel, buton the other hand it was alarm-ing to read an application in thelegal column to also pour sewageinto Trincomali Channel, thisappears to be the beginning of atrend.I am presently living in Kam-
loops and, as you may have read,this area is fighting a similarproblem although much moreadvanced. Many lakes here are
already polluted.It is unfortunate that the prom-
oters of these subdivisions wouldnot spend some money to hire aqualified engineer to design aland disposal system rather thanhire a lawyer to push through acheaper system, namely, poll-ution of the local sea waters.
As a property owner on SaltSpring and a future resident, Iwish every success to local group:in their attempts to prevent poss-ution of the waters surroundingthe beautiful Gulf Islands.W. F. McMahon,1997 Parkcrest Drive,Kamloops, B. C.March 20, 1968.

The girls put on a nice showerfor Miss Sharon Lee, who will bemarried on April 6.
Mrs. R. Akerman and Mrs.Heather Melancon, of Nanaimo,were hostesses for the evening.Over 70 turned up, all bring-
ing good wishes and gifts, withvery few duplicates.
The guest of honour received apretty corsage, as also did hermother, Mrs. C. Lee. Thesewere made by Mrs. L. Molletwho also made the decoratedbride cake which highlighted thetea table after all the gifts hadbeen opened and everyone thank-ed by Sharon.• Sharon will be married on April•6, in the Burgoyne United ChurchThe bridegroom will be LeonardVoegeli, formerly of Sask. Thisparty was held at the home ofMrs. Akerman last week.
A beautiful ruby-throated hum-mingbird was looking in my win-dow a few minutes ago... one ortwo of these tiny birds arrived av/eek ago - about the time Mrs.D. Wilson saw one...and theswallows have been coming andgoing for a week or two.Congratulations to Morry Akermanwho has successfully passed hisapprenticeship in carpentering ata Vancouver Vocational School!
Morry is now looking for a jobin the building line. We wishhim the greatest success in hischosen career.
The work in the Fulford Hallhas been completed for the seasonon the winter works plan.
All things are in order now atthe Hall - a new room off thedance floor near the stairway, isa most useful place. Refreshmentscan be served from here duringcabarets, or other affairs.
The concession and skate roomat the back, and the washroomsare all in order; with the diningroom so neat and spacious belowstairs, and the outside paint jobfinished, the Hall is a buildingto be proud of.
The Walkathon, which is plan-ned to start between Good Fridayand Easter Sunday, - that makesit Saturday, April 13 - hope no
one is superstitious? is to behandled by the Lions Club, atthe request of the Hall CommitteeThis should bring out those heftywalkers. A few hints on walkinghave been given by two of ourestimable ladies in recent issuesMiss D. Anderson and Mrs. Hors-dal - who seem to favour hillsand logging roads - we ratherexpect to see these two hikersstriding along in the lead of allthe walkers at the Marathon Walkday.
Our hats off to the Lion's Clubmembers for their co-operationin this walkie-walkie. Clubs,Stores, and all business peoplewill be asked to participate inthis big day by sponsoring somefavourite walker or by enteringthe race themselves, we under-stand.The other islands will be in on
this too, it is hoped. Good walk-'ing contestants can be found ifsomeone, say on Pender Island,or Galiano,, want to sponsor some-one - "We will have spares,"says Bob Akerman, when askedabout this. So don't be shy, -come forward and state your re-quirement. Better say if youwant a girl or a boy walker.There isn't too much confusion
HIGHSCHOOL
BRENDA G. SHARPSPORTS
Two large volleyball tourna-ments were held this week endat the U. of Vic. and WoodlandsJunior Secondary in Nanaimo.
The Senior Boys and SeniorGirls teams caught the 10:30 ferryfrom Fulford and arrived at Un-iversity of Victoria at about 12 o1
clock. The teams ate lunch inthe Cafeteria soon after theirarrival and then spent the rest ofthe afternoon competing againstteams from all over VancouverIsland.The Senior Boys* beat Esquimau
and finished fifth out of seventeams.The girls had better luck and
came second out of eight afterbeating Esquimalt, Mount View,and St. Ann's Academy. Theylost in the finals to Oak Bay.
The Junior Boys' team had afair amount of success at Nan-aimo, coming third out of sixafter beating Wellington. Theteam will receive a plaque fromthe Central Vancouver IslandAthletic Association for placingthird.
The team members were:Senior Boys - Pat Slingsby, RickScotton, Mike Alexander, GlenTimbers, John Grain, Ken Kylerand Marcel Blais, with Mr. Byronas coach.
The Senior Girls were - GailLowe, Lyn Calrson, Linda Ginn,Kirsti Satermo, Laura Rozanno,Doreen Moulton, Janice MacMillan, Susan Byron, Carol Web-ster, Andrea Harkema and Steph-ani Swanson, with Mr. R. MacWhirter as coach. The JuniorBoys Volleyball teams consists ofWayne Taylor, Colin Horel, Jay'Rozzano, Leslie Scotton, NormanMailey, Dave Williams, and PatKelly, with Mr. Rogers as coach.SPRING PLANT-IN
On Monday March 25th, theschool held a " gigantic springplant-in"
Well, it was a plant-in anyway.The idea was to have the stud-ents bring any type of flower toplant in the mall, thus doingtheir own landscaping. Lookingat the rather unspectular resultsI must admit that Gulf IslandsSecondary has remarkably fewstudents with green thumbs.ROLLER SKATING PARTY
The roller skating party thatwas held on March 21 was onceagain a success. There was agood turnout and a total of$27.15 was collected. This mon-ey is donated to the Grad ClubFund.
on Salt Spring Island, regardinggirls and boys - they DON'Tlook alike here - praises be!
Don't forget the BEAN SUPPERSaturday night at Beaver PointHall!

We asked The Reverend David McKay of GoldRiver what he likes best about Electric Heating:
"Economy is thebest feature?'
"My wife won't agree . . . she's sold on the cleanliness of electric heat;
says it's healthier. But it's the most economical heat we've ever had, and we've
tried them all. No maintenance, either." The people who have
electric heat say it's economical.
14,000 homeowners have made electric heat B.C.'s hottest seller!

PERCY JONES
(From Page One)
He served for three years and 10months.While he had been living and
working in New Westminster thecreamery at Salt Spring Islandhad flourished. It had becomealmost legendary in the qualityof its products. For many yearsthe Salt Spring Island economyhad revolved around the farm.The dairy was a co-operativeventure and marked the fine pro-ducts of island farms.
When D. G. McKenzie boughtout the creamery, A.W. Drakeretired as manager and PercyJones was called in from themainland to take over!
Mr. Jones joined a slowly sink-ing ship. The creamery operatedin fine style but the raw mater-ials were dwindling. Farms wereclosing and new land was beingleft wild. The unending hardtoil of an island dairy farm app-ealed little to many men whocould accomplish a comparableliving On a fixed-hour basis.
The quality of Salt Spring Is-land butter never failed. But thebutter did. The day dawned whenthere was no longer sufficientmilk to produce the dairy prod-ucts for which the island hadlong been famous. The cream-ery closed its doors and the lastcan of milk was processed.
The building today feeds manyislanders and distributes its pro-ducts over many parts of Vancou-ver Island. It is now accommod-ating the Island Pride Bakery Ltd.
Mr. Jones was eager to keepeating and looked further afieldfor a job. In short carder he be-came assistant postmaster atFulford. That was 10 1/2 yearsago. Eight years ago he wasappointed postmaster and hasheld the job ever since.
There has been a markedchange in the pattern of postalservice during the past decade,says Mr. Jones. When he assumedhis original function of assistantpostmaster the community was ina large part industrial. Loggingwas big business in Fulford-.
Today the community is essen-tially residential.
The official appointment of anew postmaster has not yet beenmade. The job has been adver-tised in the post office sinceJanuary and reports circulatingin Fulford suggest that some halfdozen replies nave been received.
During his 20 years on SaltSpring Island Percy has taken partin numerous community projectsand recently took over the treas-ury of the Salt Spring IslandLions Club. Former treasurer wasW.T.D. (Jonesy) Jones.
Next week the familiar face ofPostmaster Percy Jones will bemissing from the post officecounter. He'll probably be outfishing.

NEW GAVEL FOR CLUBAt the first regular meeting of
the executive committee of theGaliano Club last Wednesday,the President, Mrs. Fred Robsonaccepted a fine new gavel, app-ropriately engraved, on behalfof the organization which recent-ly held its 43rd annual generalmeeting.

the auction sale scheduled forEaster Saturday, April 13, in thelocal hall, sponsored by the Gal-iano Chamber of Commerce andthe Fke Department. Householdarticles, tools, furniture etc. aswell as home cooking will bewelcome, and hot dogs and coffeewill be sold.
Meantime we have had severalenquiries about the annual don-ation to the fire department sinceit is supported by volunteer con-tributions and does not come un-der taxation. Each household isrequested to pay $2 per year to-ward the maintenance of the ser-vice. Cheques or cash may beleft with Mr. Riddell, the post-master, or mailed to the treasurer,Mrs. Ches Williams, Galiano,The proceeds from the auction,incidentally, will go to the pur-chase of new tires for the fireengine.In response to requests from the
Chamber of Commerce, the ParksBranch has sent surveyors to theisland this week to go over Bell-house Park and put up a sign andother amenities for the visitingpublic. This beautiful six-acrepoint on Active Pass was given bythe late Thorney Bellhouse somefour years ago but up to nowthere has been no official sign toinform visitors.
