" W E A T H E R RE'PORTJanuary's weather was

interesting, if somewhatdreary, judging by a reportreceived from Ganges officialweather observer, HowardCarlin.

Precipitation totalled

eight inches,including lightsncw which fel l on the 19thand 20th (1/2 inch each

time), contrasting with .98

inches for January 1963.

Rain fell on all but six days

of the month. While above

average, this amount wasnot remarkable. Mr. Carlin

said as much as 131/2 inchesof rain has been recorded

for January; with 70 inchesof snow measured during themonth on one occasion.

High temperature lastmonth was 52 degrees on New

Year's day, the same as

recorded for Jan. 1st 1963.Low of 32 degrees occurred

on 20th, 21 strand 23rd, asagainst 17 degrees chalked

up for last year.Maximum and minimum

mean temperatures for lastmonth were 45.0 and 36.1degrees respectively.

Over 100 people werepresent for the opening cere-monyandto viewthe miracu-lous transformation of thebuilding. Mrs. Bennett em-phasized the importance of a

community library for the ed-ucation,fun and adventure tobe found in books.

Dr. Stanton,Chairman ofthe Board, welcomed theguests and introduced Mrs.Bennett. He noted that thelibrary has been in operationjust over four years. In No-

vember 1959the library start-ed in a small room at the backof Mouat's Store with 1300donated books. Increased cir-culation and additional do-nated books soon made thelibrary expand to two smallrooms; but these quartersquickly became inadequate.

IN T H E H O U S Eby Dave Stupich, M.L.A.

During the week just end-ed 23 members made theircontributions to the ThroneSpeech Debate. 13 of thesewere supporters of the Govern-ment, 7 were members of theN.D.P. and there were 3Liberals.

The Debate started outwith two members of thegovernment party, Messrs.Campbel I and Brothers, mov-ing and seconding adoptionof the Speech from the Throne.

As this was my first ex-oerience in the House I start-ed out listening very atten-tively to the speakers. I wasa little disappointed in thefirst two in that they spentmost of their time dwellingon the past election and

barely touched on the con-tents of the Throne Speech.

The second day of theThrone Speech Debate istraditionally left to the lead-ers of the opposition partiesto present their points ofview.There was general dis-appointment this year on ourside of the House that theGovernment insisted on hav-ing one of their top men,Mr.Banner, speak on the sameday .On the other hand,therewas a good deal of interestin hearing what he had to saybecause there were some ru-mours that he would go intomore detail on measures sug-gested by the Throne Speech.Members of the House andreporters were particularlyinterested in hearing some-thing about the new bank.Banner spoke well and in-terestingly but said not oneword about future Govern-ment policy.

On Tuesday we heardthree more members of theSocial Credit Party and ourown Mr. Colder.First speak-er of the day was Minister ofHighways, Mr. Gagliardi.He is reputed to be too busybuilding highways to thinkabout politics. ~He, too ,was very easy to listen tobut again we heard nothingabout the measures to beproposed by the Government.

h . I 9 6 4 D R I FMr. Gagliardi did not speakfor long and in his time hedealt mainly with criticismsraised by the leader of theopposition, Mr. Strachan.

Mr. Colder spoke of theneeds of his own riding andof the natives generally andreceived quite good cover-age in the press.The othe rGovernment members dwelledmainly on their own ridings.

By thistime I had a betteridea what to expect and wasgiving some thought to thecontent of my own contri-

bution to the Debate, (foundout on Wednesday that I wouldbe making my maiden speech

on Monday, February 3rd,atapproximately2:30 in theafternoon. From then onI listened to the speakers morewith a mind to what I wouldbe saying myself rather thanconcentrating on the contentof their own speeches.

The general form wasobvious.Apart from a minoritywhospenttheir time dwellingon the past election or attack-ing previous members' ThroneSpeech contributions, mostof the speeches seem to bemade up mainly of commentsabout the members' own rid-ings with some reference togeneral policies suggested inthe Throne Speech Debate.

I am becoming a regularvisitor in the Library, whichis an excellent source ofmaterial, and regret onlythat the days are not long

.-,(_• Cont inue' to understand as a ch i ld . For example, with

coldaiu: flu .,ujs - our picture of a v i rus is like a worm made

up of a lot of periods stuck together. This unseen litt le mon-

ster causes flu and colds. But a germ is different. A germ is

,an unseeable I i t t le spidery type bug that is the cause of other

types of infections and diseases.This is hardly an analysis that wi l l be acceptable to

medical research scientists. Likely todays science trained

students wil l not accept it. But with the numbers of people

suffering from virus infections here, it doesn't matter whether

our understanding is scientific or not. The sufferers feel

miserable in any case. If they can find amusement in pictur-

*ing the little unseen attached periods being the cause of their

discomfort so much the better. There is little enough that is

amusing when running a high temperature and coughing and

wheezing.Regardless of how effectively medical research has managed

to isolate the little bugs...the standard treatment is sti II

aspirin, juice and keep warm - cold comfort.

Colds and the flu are not considered very serious aff l ic-

tions so the poor sufferer who could benefit from gobs and

gobs of T.L.C. is usually left to feel miserable in isolation.

Island that hasn't been affected by severe attachs of f lu .The

managing for yea, these many years to escape and avoid

everythingandanything to do with photography and cameras

we find ourselves plunged into the business all the way. And

only because we wanted to improve the printing process. Wel I,

when we had acquired the equipment to do our printing by

photographic process, we felt it essential to make an effort

to get more pictures into DRIFTWOOD. The next step of

course, was to start finding out about this photography busi-

ness. Oh woe! Have you ever tried talking to someone who

knows about picture taking? Or are you a simple soul like us

who thought that to take a picture you had a camera and

pushed a button and a picture came out?

It isn't so! You must first of all read the light meter; then

you set the f stop or is it the time adjustment? Well at any

rate you must twist dials and make sure of focal length etc.

Now this clever little machine, the camera, if it is all set

properly wi II come up with a picture . The trick comes in get-

ting the settings right. The experts tell us this is easy. But

the terms used to explain this easy process are what lead to

confusion.At any rate, we have another sample of our product in

this week's issue; the Library opening pictures, we hope ,

show marked improvement over the recent photos of the storm.

We may never manage to learn the camera enthusiast jargon,

but we ' l l try to continue to bring you pictures of Island evert s.

LETTERS-TO-THE EDITOR"Dear Editor: I am amazed that you should have done our

youngsters such a disservice as to print the letter from

Laurence Wil l iams. By its publication, you appear to con-

done the action ol a man who states he found a large roll of

b i l ls , then bragged of having kept it and used part of it for

gambling,.

If this account is true, this man broke the law in what

I believe is designated "keeping by finding". Whether true

or not it reflects a sad commentary of the sickly state of the

morality of so-cal led modern civilization and I suggest Far

Away Places to be a much better future address of Mr.

Williams, than Salt Spring. Yours faithful ly, H . B. Dickens.

T h u r s d a y , F e b r u a r y 6 th , 1964PINK SEAGULLS???by Bea HamiltonThere still remains a big

question mark after the pinkseagulls. A large gull, of a"shocking pink"color, passesby our windows .(With every-one fighting colds and thisFlu1 bug, that pesky birdseems to be the only thingaround that seems to be inthe pink")

It is so pink that it standsout like a sore thumb a mileaway. Methinks that Mr.James, with hrs new tomatocalled Saltspring Sunrise,hasa rival for that name-thisgull is almost more gorgeousthan even our sunrises-and is"some tomato " to boot!

There really are somepink gulls that are seen attimes on the prairies, says

If it isa gag,or a scienti-fic study, it Is a startling andgood one-but if Nature hasgone wi Id on color among our

Well, we have whiterobins, bluebirds and evenhorned owls-why not pinkSeagulls?

Thank goodness we havea nice, sober Pancake racecoming up on February llth,to get us back to normalthings-
