Using no diving equipment, other than wet suits, the spear- fishermen go down under water and use a spear gun to catch fish. Limit of three ling cod is a provincial regulation. Mr. Lewis explained that there are three main pursuits for divers. They spear fish or they take underwater pictures or they take part in scavenging projects.

A PHfUST/NE GOES TO THE SHOWThe latest in a series of an-
nual art shows opened last weekin Mahon Hall at Ganges. Is-landers have prepared a vastarray of paintings and pottery,weaving and crafts. The hall isnearly filled with the ekhibits,many of which are offered forsale and priced.
The display is pleasing andthe visitor leaves with a senseof accomplishment in havingspent an hour or so examiningthe work of the artistic island-ers.
Comparisons are odious, weare told, yet comparison withearlier years shows this year'sexhibition to be a little morecomplete and perhaps a littlemore rewarding.
There are obvious changes.P.K, Bhattarcharjee, whosestriking allegoric paintingshave always oeen interesting,has retreated into the style thatonly the author can understand.His message is no longer evid -ent to me.
Windsor Utley, who is essent-ially his own master, has dippedhis brush in Italian wine andcome up with more brilliantcolors than I can recall. Thereis the suggestion of an ancientplaster, with the coloring thatthe artist saw before the centur-ies stole its intended brilliance.
Chrysanthemums remainedwith me after I had left the hall
and I associate with them thename of Nita Flick.
Striking were the StewardSigns of the Zodiac in Germanand sharply defined.
These are the things thatremain in the mind of a philist-ine.
Tom Volquardsen contemplateing a wooden navel with a few
dexterous flips of the gouge isstriking and the adjacent pot-tery bell by Mies Russell de-lighted me for its noise as wellas the design.

gret that he had been expelledfrom the meeting. He waslearning a lot about planning,he told DRIFTWOOD.

Royal Visitor was in Gangeslast week. Marshall Sharp re-ports seeing an American vesselin harbour flying the royal Scot-tish house flag. He was theQueen of what?
* * *Only difference between this
and winter is that the rain'swarmer, says Tom Toynbee.
* * *When Karl and Edel Satermo
went to Victoria to a partysupposedly for departing relat-ives, they were thoroughlyshaken. The party was to greetMrs. Satermo's mother. Mrs.Signe Olsen, who was here fora holiday from Norway. Thearrival had been hush! hushand they hadn't A clue she wasin the country until they mether in Victoria.
Reg Brannan, of Galiano,bought two tickets for the Bol-shoi Ballet on Wednesday andat the last moment was unableto go. He called in at the of-fice and tossed in the tickets.If anyone could use them,there they were! The tele-phone was out and no callscould be made off-island tobook a passage by air. The on-ly means of ttavel was theLong Harbour ferry. It was run-ning an hour late. By thetime two of my family arrivedat the Queen E., they had toawait the intermission. It wasworth the panic and the delayand the wait. Only way toavoid a hang-up on going tothe Queen E. is to go moreoften, says my wife.
* * *I like the story from the Ro -
tarians at Salt Spring. A Brit-ish Army officer returned toLondon after 12 years in the farflung corners of the world. Ata party he found himself faceto face with an attractive wo-man whose face seemed famil-iar. He felt he knew her andhe asked her how her fatherwas, fishing for a clue to heridentity. Her father was dead,she replied. How was her bro-ther, he persisted. She had nobrother, only a sister, was thereply. How, then, was hersister? "Fine... and she's stillQueen!"

People I hate...The man who listens to a par
ticularly funny reminiscencewith a completely straight face... My wife when she listensgravely to a wisecrack andmakes no sound pretending to
be amused...Electronic dancebands who tune up the volumeto that point where you can'ttalk above it and you sit out adance shrieking with pulsatingpurple veins and popping eyesto remark on the weather...People who leave the radio onnear rne at that point where ycujust can't hear wnat is beingsaid, however you strain yourhearing mechanism.. .Peoplewho assume that just becauseI'm English I know all aboutmuffins which is something Inever saw until I came to alittle bit of Olde VancouvereIn Victoria... People who offerme muffins, which should behushed up, not perpetuated...Telephone callers who ring offwhen I tell them who lam. . .Drivers who turn right withoutsignalling and leave me highand dry waiting for them...Dance sponsors who assume youneed no light to find your wayaround a dance floor. ..Womenwho raise their eyebrows in asuperior fashion when I explainI have mislaid my teeth...

Fulford BY BEA HAMILTON
Ten years ago the peopleSalt Spring Island ate throughseven sacks of clams and twosacks of oysters at the first clambake of the season, with JacfcRoland in charge of the clam-pit.
Wonder how many will beeaten next Saturday? Jack Rol-and no doubt, will still be onthe job, or at least helping!
I know ."because I reportedthis in the Sidney Review atthat time. So next Saturday,July 15, don't forget the bigclam bake at Drummond Parkbeach. You'll love it!
The UKULELE LADY fromHawaii came into Fulford lastweek and with so many visitingDoats in, she couldn't find aDerth.
She probably travelled on,DUt another American boatcame in and anchored off shore.She was the SEATEX, a beauti-ful vessel. Sailing craft seemto be the thing this year again;all shapes and sizes skim overthe waters. They are a lovelysight!
Robin R. Dalziel, at presentover for a visit to his mother,Mrs. George C.E. Dalziel,willbe opening a law office in theRainbow Beauty Salon buildingthis week. This should be int-eresting for many who require
advice on things pertaining tolaw. Mr. Dalziel commutesfrom Victoria and will be onthe Island two days a week.
Mrs. Dalziel Sr. will bespending the summer in theirhome in the Yukon, at WatsonLake, where summer reigns su-preme. But it's pretty nice onSalt Spring - and she hates toleave her lovely roses, says Mrs.Dalziel.
Mrs. T. Arnason, who is re-sponsible for the keeping up ofthe flower boxes that brightenthe otherwise severe lookingferry terminal, was pleased to
have her daughter and two grandchildren, Mrs. Don Hoggarth,with Kim and Gail, from Co-quitlam, for a visit.
It is nice to hear that Mrs.Grant Stevens, who is recover-ing from her accident of a fewmonths ago, is home for anotherweek before returning to theGorge Hospital in Victoria. Wewish her a full recovery and awelcome back even if only fora short visit.
At the W.I. meeting held atthe home of Mrs. Evelyn Lee,there was a pleasant ending asit was Mrs. Lee's birthday onJune 29., That meant a birth-day cake and good wishes, anda delicious tea to follow.

SWIMMINGThe beginning of the week saw a fair response to
the Salt Spring Island Recreation Commission's swim-ming classes. More than 50 students enrolled.
Every islander who is unable to swim should beregistered with these classes. Topmost hazard of is-land living is the water. The child who is able toswim can return to shore after falling in the saltchuck. The child who is unable to swim may wellprove unable to live.
Swimming is a luxury where there is neither lakenor sea. Here it is not a waycf living; it is a wayof being sure of living.
The classes are the most important event in the ex1
perience of every island child. Don't deprive himof 'the chance of survival!
SIGNIFICANCE IS EVIDENTThe series of conferences in Victoria on Man and
Resources will come to an end on Wednesday of nextweek. It will have run for three Wednesdays in ord-er to give us all the opportunity of asserting what wedemand of the future. The information will be usedfor guide lines for various federal and provincial mi-nisters in their approach to the problems of environ-ment and pollution.
The 'significance of this series of conferences wasbrought sharply into focus this week with the releaseof a list of beaches in the Greater Victoria healthdistrict. The department issues two lists: a small oneand a long one.. The small list shows beaches aroundthe lower Vancouver Island area that are safe forbathing. The larger list is those beaches no longerfft for use.
Man and Resources Conference is looking at suchmatters on a nationwide scale. It is not only lookingafthe deteriorating environment, but it is asking ev-ery interested Canadian to state what he wants in hisfuture and his children's future.
Islanders have never been lax in asserting theirviews on the deterioration of every natural resource.They should be keenly aware of this conference. It isnot only the first on so wide a scale, but it is also thethe first to approach a vital matter from every angle.The sponsors include science, preservationists andrealtors. It is a cross section of the community.Eachwill approach the subject with a different background
The discussion should prove of considerable valueand every islander who is able to attend next Wed-nesday should do so. A parallel group could provehelpful on the islands.
And if the critic feels that the islanders are offer-ing a disparate strength of voice, it must be borne inmind that most provincial wastes will end up in theislands' lap, anyway!
Letters To The EditorIT IS NOT NEEDED
Editor, Driftwood,I am concerned about the
announcement by the new own-ers of a local store that theyplan to be open seven days aweek.
While we who accept theTen Commandments will know
what to do, I would not try toimpose my standards on otherpeople. But I ask you to think.
Having the store open anoth-er day won't mean selling moregroceries. People are not go-ing to eat more: they are onlygoing to spread their shoppingover more days.
This means more wages for

that is probably unequalled byany Canadian who ever servedin the Royal Air Force.
Philip grew up on VancouverIsland and left Canada, before*ie First World War, to take
dicine at Cambridge.
He became the first Canadianto row in the Oxford-Cambridgeboat race at Henley. He stillhas the oars at home in MapleBay as a souvenir.
He graduated during that warand entered the forces. As ayouthful medical officer withthe Royal Air Force, he electedto continue his service in peacetime and was posted to theMiddle East.
He was keenly interested inthe effect of flying on visionand published a paper on colourblindness in relation to flying,which pioneered all investiga-tion into the subject.
The young medical officerconvinced the air force that heshould, himself, be a pilot inorder to fully appreciate theproblems. He became a pilot.
Early in his air force careerhe undertook post-graduate stud-ies and specialized in the eyesand vision.
During the Second World Warhe was a senior medical officer
RETIRESAFTERBRILLIANTCAREERand a recognized authority onvision and flying. With his longexperience in colour blindnessand other aspects of flying, hewas engaged in research intonight vision.
In 1950 he was knighted intoken of his contribution to theair force. He had attained therank of Air Marshal and wasDirector-General of MedicalServices for the Royal Air Force.

was retired, but he was still in-terested and established a prac-tice as eye specialist at Cowich-an Bay. His services were ingreat demand and he moved toSalt Spring Island to ease up onhis work.
Later he s old out at Fulfordand went back to the CowichanValley, to live and work atMaple Bay.
Last month he finally retired.The energy and the constant
interest in life and living whichhave driven the retired doctorfor nearly 80 years were veryevident while he was living atFulford.
At that time Livingston wasinvited to Turkey as a guest ofthe Minister of the Interior. Hewent and he was delighted withhis experience there.
The invitation was the resultof a sudden impulse some yearspreviously.
While he was in London theCyprus upheavals were promin-ent and bloody. The Air Marsh-al walked through the Londonstreets and his eye caught thesign on a building identifying itas the Turkish Embassy. On thespur of the moment he marchedinto the embassy and was usher-ed into the Ambassador's office.
He explained that he was noofficial spokesman, but as a sol-dier of long experience he feltvery sympathetic with the situa-tion in which Turkey found it-self. The two men discussedvarious aspects of the situationand the frustration attaching toll*
That was the whole incident.Or so he believed.
A decade later he received aformal invitation to enjoy aTurkish holiday as the guest ofthe government. The Formerambassador was now the minister for the interior and still re-membered his warm interestand his courtesy in stoppi ng tosay what he thought.
It is the same cheerful, en-quiring doctor who is now en-joying his first rest in 56 years:doctor, pilot, scientist, author,politician and knight.
He has written his own story,Fringe of the Clouds, now outof print. He also wrote an8,000 word summary of theGerman intent after a visit topre-war Germany.
Sir Philip will never wantfor something to do. Timewill never hang heavy on hishands. He and Lady Living-ston can now do all the thingsthey couldn't do when he waswaking.

SALT SPRING WAS ALL ONE CAMPCamp Yawaca was all of
Camp Salt Spring Island lastweek as girls spending a sum-mer holiday at the YWCA campwere spread over the island.
Construction of the camp atBeaver Point was delayed.
First arrivals were accommo-dated at the old school dormit-ory on Ganges Hill and atCusheon Lake Resort.
The campers took over fourcabins and erected six tents atthe resort.
By the week end they hopedto be in possession of their newcamp. By the week end noth-ing was ready and the camp di-rector, Mrs. Sally Shwetz waslooking for another temporaryhome.
They found the untenantedBrown Camps unit at BeaverPoint and part of the campmoved there.
On Saturday, the campers,drawn from all parts of theGreater Victoria area, paidtribute to the proprietors ofCusheon Lake Resort, Mr. andMrs. Spencer Marr.
A campfire and wiener roastwas cancelled out by the rain.The campers and their guestsall sat it out at the dormitory.The Cusheon Lake party was in-doors. The girls sang and paidtribute to their new-foundfriends.

EXCERPT FROM EARLY JOURNAL
Irish Question Paramount 85 Years Ago"Mr. Arthur O'Connor dis-
graced himself, insulted intel-ligent Irishmen and abused thehospitality extended to him bythe Mayor of Jersey City whenhe assumed they were ready tofight England in defence of Ir-ish wrongs.
" When American soldiersunder the American flag, shallbe called upon to fight Englandit will be not for Ireland, butin some cause that involvesAmerican interests or Americ-an honour."
So wrote Frank Pixley, editorof the San Francisco Argonauton November 19, 1887.
The San Francisco weekly wascommenting on the visit to theCalifornian city of Arthur O'-Connor, MP and Sir ThomasHenry Grattan Esmond, MP,Irish spokesmen and campaign-
ers for funds for Ireland .The two had assured a meet-
ing in New Jersey that therewould be 100,000 Irishmenready to fight against Englandand the Argonaut took issueover the statement.
The incident occurred duringthe home rule dispute and ac-companying rioting and civilunrest in Ireland.
Since the latter part of the19th century the newspaper hasbeen hidden from sight in thelogs of the old Shaw home atFulford. When Gordon Cud-more acquired the farm prop-erty he demolished the oldbuilding in order to construct anew home on the same site. He
found the old newspapers in thecrevices of the attic logs. Maj-ority of the paper was too agedand brittle to read.
Section of an unnamed paperis not over rewarding. It liststhe instance of a dentist inStratford being arrested for ab-ortion and released on bail of$10,000. A happy picnickerat Kingston interrupted a base-ball game and was clobberedover the head with a bat. Hedied and the clobberer wascharged with manslaughter.
The many other small piecesof newspaper include a sectionfrom the "Scottish American"without indication of where itwas published.

Minister Speaks On Community PlanningCurrent newsletter of the

His views are "apropos andtimely for islanders", suggestsRegional Director MarcHolmes.

regional districts don't recog-nize the need and do somethirgabout it he may bring downappropriate legislation.
Newsletter asked the minist-er to spell out his feelings, andhe has done so as follows:
Let us set the record straighton planning. I have been inmany Community Halls wherethe question of planning hascome up and I have listened tomany people on the subject. A!a result I have come to theconclusion that planning is asmuch, if not more, a politicalprocess than it is a technicalprocess.
The intent of the MunicipalAct is to confer the politicalpowers for planning a commun-ity on local authority becausea government sitting as faraway as Victoria is too fai fromthe local scene to exercise thatkind of jurisdiction.

In the former situation theMinister of Municipal Affairswas, i n fact, the mayor andcouncil for deciding planningmatters in the unorganized ter-ritory of B. C. This was animpossible situation and onewhich could cause all sugges-tions that regional districts areacting dictatorially to pale intoinsignificance.
The point is that R.D. 's must,by statute, now appoint one ormore advisory planning commis-sions within areas not enjoyingthe status of a municipality. Itis the responsibility of these ad-visory planning commissions toconsult with local people, be-cause planning is as much apeople process as it is a techni--cal one. The extent that theydo in fact consult with localpeople is the measure of theirsuccess.
I have been trying for sometime to get this planning pro-cess into some understandablepolitical procedure. For ex-ample, it is not necessary, andnever has been to take a plan-ning by-law to the public arenain legalistic terms. It is farbetter to have a PROPOSED by-law open for public discussionbefore the regional board takesit on the legalistic route marchinvolving even the first readinglet alone the second or thirdreading, etc.
People are naturally afraidof change. If they are introd-uced to planning proposalsthrough a by-law that is al-ready started along the legalist-ic route march, they have a

ed to learn that the story ofairmail goes back nearly 200years - long before the days ofaeroplanes. The first officialBritish airmail service was in-augurated 60 years ago, whena series of flights was made be-tween London and Windsor aspart of the celebrations mark-ing the coronation of KingGeorge V, but long before thatdate unofficial attempts hadbeen made to carry mail by air
In May 1807, for example,Admiral Cochrane, the Earl ofDundonald, transmitted mess-ages from the British lines tothe French during the Peninsul-ar campaign by means of kites.

on zoning by-laws. However,I do believe regional districtshave the opportunity to reflectthe local flavor in terms of thecontent of by-laws and theymust be prepared to presentthese by-laws to the people aft-er very thorough discussion atthe local level.
As I have indicated, as aphilosophical point of view, 1am not prepared to accept by-laws where there is evidencethat the process of making thepeople aware of exactly what isgoing on is not being followed.
That is not to say, that anyzoning by-law is requiring of unanimous consent. This wouldbe unrealistic and an impossibletask to impose on either a re-gional district or the minister.
YEARS AGOunofficial airmail have beenrecorded.
The first attempt in Britainto carry mail by balloon on alarge scale was made on Oct-ober 6, 1870, barely a fort-night after a balloon post wasorganised from Paris during theFranco-Prussian War.
On this occasion an unman-ned balloon was launched fromLondon's Crystal Palace duringa fireworks display and sub-sequently recovered at AcriseFarm near Folkestone, Kent.The postcards contained in themailbag were postmarkedHythe. Examples of these Cry-stal Palace cards are very rareand are highly prized as fore-runners of British airmail.

New items are: PioneerPottery, by Michael Cardew;Pottery Form and Expression,by Marguerite Wildenhain; TheWorld of Japanese Ceramics,by Herbert H. Sanders; A Pot-ter's Book, by Bernard Leachand Clay and Glaze for the .Potter, by Daniel Rhodes.
These new books were purch-ased from money donated bythe Salt Spring Island Potters'Guild.
1902, special postcards portray-ing the king and queen weredespatched oy balloon fromBeckenham in Kent. Later thayear cards were flown by bal-loon from Manchester to publi-cise a Lifeboat Saturday. Thesesouvenir postcards are now eag-erly sought after by aerophilat-elists.
Flights by heavier-than-airmachines took place in the Ed-wardian period but were poorlypublicised and left little in theway of distinctive souvenirs.The first Aviation Meeting tookplace at Blackpool in August1910 when Claude Grahame-White carried despatches byaeroplane from Lytham Hall toSquire's Gate.
An Air Meeting at Lanark thefollowing week was marked byseveral picture postcards andmail was cancelled by a post-mark inscribed LANARK GRANDSTAND. This postmark wasnormally used for telegraphicpurposes but postcards bearingit are regarded as among thegreatest of British aviation rarit-ies.
A flying exhibition was stag-ed by Graname-White at South-port in June 1911 as part of theCoronation festivites and vari-ous attractive labels were prod-uced.
The World's first official air-mail flight was made in Indiain February 1911 in connectionwith the United Provinces In-dustrial and Agricultural Exhib-ition at Allahabad and a speci-al postmark showing a mono-plane was used on souvenirmail.
The flights were organisedby Captain (later Sir) WalterWyndham who, later that year,was responsible for the London-Windsor flights. Between Sept-ember 9 and 15 there were 16flights and 926 pounds of cor-respondence was carried. Vari-ous souvenir postcards and en-velopes, and distinctive "Aer-ial Post" cancellations wereproduced. Although itemsfrom the 1911 flights are notscarce, they are of enormousinterest to collectors since theyrepresent the beginning of offi-cial airmail in Britain.

SUNRISE IN SPRING
BY GRACE A. WRIGHT
New every morning, yet so old,The sun rises in a rosy glowTo limn the hills with white
and gold,Long before it shines below.
Yet those who do not care torise
So early as the dawn's firstlight,
Must miss the glory of the skiesUncovered by the passing night.
Are such souls to beauty dead,That they would rather stay in
bed?Do they not know the joy they
missWhen ne'er they feel the sun's
first kiss?
Can just one hour of sleep beworth
The loss of such a chance asthis -
The chance to find, so rare onearth -
A moment fraught with perfectbliss?

nip over to the church with herapron still on.
Unfortunately that churchwas burned down and there fol-lowed many bitter argumentsabout where a new one shouldbe built. It developed into alengthy feud.
Eventually the new churchwas built on land donated byGavin Mouat. It is now knownas St. George's.
It was 57 years ago that MissFrena Aitkens came to this is-land. She didn't really want tocome but her sister, Joan, wasill and had to be cared for.Someone had to do this andeverything else, and that some-one was Frena.
Doctor Sutherland was quiteconcerned about her having sovery much to do all day, everyday.
Like many others of that dayshe became a lady help and waswith Colonel and Mrs. Odlamfor quite a long time. It was,incidentally, the daughter ofthat same couple, a doctor,who discovered the harm causedby thalidomide. It was laterthat Miss Aitkens came to SaltSpring, when the bishop senther father here from ShawniganLake. Mr. Bittancourt fetchedthem all over in his launch.
It was just before her father'sretirement that he 'sought thehouse where she now lives withher memories, her birds andher treasures.
During the Second World Waishe was second in charge of theplane-spotting group.
It was Miss Aitkens who re-ported a plane going down nearMusgrave Mountain. She goteverybody moving. DoctorMyers and many more went ov-er in a launch. The plane hadcrashed into the mountain andwas discovered by Art Hepburnand Ashley Maude.
Miss Aitkens helped in spot-ting and identifying planes al-ong with the rest of the groupall during the war. She wasawarded a plaque by the RoyalCanadian Air Force in recogni-tion of her contribution. Thisplaque is hanging on her wallwith another from the Bell Tel-ephone Company awarded toTelephone Pioneers of America
Earlier, during the flu epid-emic that followed the FirstWorld War, Miss Aitkens wouldrelay messages about who need-ed what. When someone suc-cumbed to the disease MissAitkens was notified and she,in turn, would start someoneto the afflicted house.
Mrs. V. C. Best was a greathelp during this emergency.Miss Aitkens was a going con-cern then, and still is, thoughher activities are somewhatcurtailed, but the spirit isthere. If I needed somethingin a hurry I'm sure she'd findit and a way of getting it tome or anyone else.
When there was a drowninga t Weston Lake, her SOS gotpeople out there.
When the White Lodge atFulford burned it was Miss Ait-kens who sounded the alarm.

these qualities.She said when Mr. Bullock
died, there were chests full ofwhite gloves, veils and pearl .earrings. Frena attended hisdinner parties, too.
In 1930 a real gale hit thisisland. "It would make ourlast one look just a bit of ablow," Miss Aitkens told me."Afterward, it looked as thougha great herd of elephants hadpassed this way."
Sometimes Beryl Scott usedto help Frena at the switch-board. On one occasion ayoung lady was going to adance after she was throughhelping at the telephone office,so she came dressed in her ev-ening gown!
The B. C. Tel, after it tookover the system, used to sendinspectors over. If any operat-or was wearing bracelets, ringsor other jewelry it was all re-moved before the inspector ar-rived.
Then there was trouble aboutsubscribers not paying theirbills. Some of them would for-get. In some cases peoplewould try to pay with vegetab-les and so on. This didn't ex-actly please the B. C. Tel then,anymore than it would now.Agent Frena Aitkens would bein trouble. Finally, she had tostop allowing credit for morethan two months. Even twomonths was risky.
After her retirement MissAitkens worked happily in hergarden. She has a theory aboutgrowing things which is now re-flected in many articles writtenabout talking to plants.
"If you are happy so willyour plants be. Flowers matchthe disposition of their humans."
I know this applies to dogs soI must have a look and see ifmy flowers are happy.

What magic have you wrought,mysterious moon,
To change the world from whatit was at noon?
Surely that silvered tree is notthe same

And out upon the ocean blackand deep

The yearbook is prepared bythe students themselves andproduced with the assistance ofMiss Jean Lockwood and Mrs.Al Killick.
Editor was Joanne McAllisterand the 28 pages of the yearbook were hard work for Joanneand her colleagues.
After the editorial and a comment from Galiano School Trus-tee Elizabeth Beach, the yearbook announces the award ofthe Irving Sinclair Art Scholar-ship to Donna Knudson, "form-er art editor of the year book".

PLEASE DON'T
I never watch the calendarOr check as days go by,
But in my mild euphoriaI always know July!
There's the snarling of thecruisersAs they invade our bay,
And direction of the liquorstoreI'm often asked the way.
The plastic bottle meets mybeach,The beer can bobs beside,
My gentle nature slowly ebbsWith every rising tidet
Here's a T-bone (minus steak),Describe this thing I won't,
Before you Heave it, Touristdear,Just think a bit—and don't!

Anderson will be on SaltSpring Island on Sunday whenhe brings his daughters to theR-Bar-T Ranch on Mount Max -well.
In a brief exchange on Tues-day he looked askance at theprovincial government and itslong tenure.
" Twenty years of one government is far too much," he commented.
