Arctic Harvester's voyage of nostalgia The Arctic Harvester is shown at anchor in Deserted Bay, Jervis Inlet. The ship, the property of the Sechelt Indian Band, was free from its duties as a leased research boat for the Fisheries and the Sechelt Indian Band Council took the opportunity to take some of their senior band members on a cruise of nostalgia back to a traditional home. Environmental Studies seen Positive By Allan Crean Crane '\" The7ptibHc'\"business; meeting of the Board of School Trustees which I attended on Thursday, Mayi26.li: in the School Board Office was conducted in an efficient yet v convivial manner. Trustee Fisher was: in the chair, and trustees Clayton, Dombrowski, Douglas, Prescesky, Rotluff and Spikermann were also in attendance with District Superintendent Denley and Ann Robertson who acted as recording secretary sitting in for Roy Mills who is attending a secretary- treasurers' convention. Although there was much important business discussed at this meeting, the subject which generated the most excitement- was the ongoing work towards a programme of Native Environmental Studies. A full report on this work is expected in the form of a joint Indian Band/ School Board press release in mid-June but in the meantime it is gratifying to note the fresh air of excited expectation wafting throughout the area from Bowen Island through to Langdale and the school board office, on to the Sechelt Indian Band Council office, Egmont and all the way to Tzoh-nye (Deserted Bay), an ancestral home of the Sechelt Indian Band which some of them have revisited recently for the ���first''time7 in thirty years or mbrey: seeing also the Indian Islands off Pender Harbour. :: Trustee Clayton reported to the meeting on her visit to Tzoh- nye on Thursday, May 19th on Clarence Joe's boat with Clarence in attendance recounting local folklore en route. Happily this invaluable event has been captured for posterity by media specialist Regan Brown, a graduate of Capilano College. Clarence's grandson, Hubie Joe was at the helm, and Annie Quinn from the Sechelt Indian Band came along also with the band's economic advisor, Derwin Owen. School board chairperson Celia was unable to make this journey because of a family committment, but the school board was enthusiastically represented by Maureen Clayton. Enthusiasm was the keynote for the day and was no less felt by Ron Fearn, Rollie Hawes, Marta MacKown and Ed Nicholson of the Sechelt Teachers' Association. District superintendent John Denley was unable to make the boat journey but joined the party at Tzoh- nye, arriving by chartered plane. His enthusiasm for this formative Indian Band/School District involvement in planning a combination of Native Environmental Studies and Outdoor Education was no less than that of the rest of the party, and he spoke glowingly7 at the school board, meeting of the districts' teachers writing local curriculae and the limitless possibilities of. this jointly developing concept which is being watched with wrapt attention not only by the Department of Education but also by other Indian Bands. Trustee Clayton also spoke of the wonderful job which local teachers were doing in connection with this exciting project. One of the teachers with whom I spoke was Marta MacKown who has spent much of her time recently in the Sechelt Indian Band Council's office working on curriculum development. She is quite simply thrilled by the whole concept, and indeed it does appear to this not-quite-impartial observer that a brand new educational consciousness is marching boldly forward to meet us. By-law The monies are allocated to the. recently new construction. of Chatelech Junior High School, the continuing construction ofthe Pratt Road Elementary School and the upgrading programme at Elphinstone Junior/Senior Secondary School. Extra land Trustee Prescesky emphasized the need to acquire extra land in connection with the new construction to take place on the site of Pender Harbour Secondary School. Tentative approval for this has been recieved from the Department of Education, but correspondence to the owner(s) of the possible expansion site had not been answered at the time of the meeting. It was noted that the ministry did not approve a request to include a solar heating system, apparently a continuation of the age-old policy of no inovation until the old people die off. Regional Board t^j^.iv^^'* After such news, the formal' passage of School By-law No. 35 authorizing $340,000 of a total Capital Expense Programme of $1,338,530 which commenced in 1975 seems almost mundane, Gibsons Most of the houses which once stood in Deserted Bay have fallen down but this hardy survivor stands precariously yet. There was, some discussion concerning the possible joint funding of a swimming pool between the board and the Village of Gibsons. While the board agreed to the concept in principle in that the board would support it financially to the extent that it would be used by the district's schools, doubts were expressed by Trustee Douglas as to the suitability of the pool to school In other school board news, the resignations of Ms. B. Hughes of Gibsons Elementary School, Mrs. D. Goddard of Elphinstone Secondary, and Mrs. J. Lubin of Chatelech were received with regret and the applications for leaves of absence from Mrs. L. Lawson and Mrs. S. Audet both of Sechelt Elementary School and Mrs. C. Pinkster of Gibsons Elementary were approved. Under new business the matter of scholarship awards was discussed. Superintendent Denley felt that good criteria had been established for the proposed two scholarships, and a committee was proposed to' consist of a trustee, principals of; the senior secondary schools and Director of Instruction John Nicholson. 7 A short meeting of the Regional Board held on Thursday, May 26th, was noticeable only for the standing . count given on the recent questionnaire on recycling. It will be recalled that the regional board had twice reached deadlock on the subject of whether or not some interim financial support, amounting to under $5,000, be provided to Peninsula Recycling to carry the operation through until November when a referendum can be presented to the voting public as to whether public monies should go into this venture in the future. The standing count given at Thursday's meeting was 252 against recycling with 330 for recycling. In the discussion that followed the revelation of the standing county, several board members who had been against the interim financing initially indicated that, despite the favourable majority response from the replying public, they did not intend to change their minds, nor had they ever so intended. After some discussion, Gibsons representative on the board, Jim Metzler, moved that the matter be tabled until future notice. Ferry to be leased? There is a possibility that the idle B.C. Ferry, the Queen of Tsawwassen may be leased to. Washington State interests for use between Sydney, B.C. and Anacortes, Washington. B.C. Ferries Traffic Manager, Ken Stratford, corroberated this possibility this week. According to Stratford, an enquiry has been received from a resident of Anacortes Island who claimed to represent a company called Puget Sound Navigation Company about the feasibility of leasing the idle ship. The B.C. Ferry Corporation had replied by wire asking for details on how the inquiring company intended to run the ship. \"There the matter for the moment stands,'' said Stratford. Deserted Bay, a few miles from the head of Jervis Inlet has been a little less deserted of late. In the past couple of weeks two separate parties have made special forays to the area - one with an eye to the future, and the other with an eye to the past. The first was a committee comprised of representatives of the Sechelt Indian Band and local school teachers who went up to the bay from Pender Harbour. What they had in mind was the viewing of the place which was a summer homesite for the Sechelt Indians till less than thirty years ago. It has been designated the location of a Native Environmental Studies course which will be offered by the school board in the near future. More details on this forward-looking course will be released soon. The second and more recent of the two forays saw the local Indian Band take advantage of the brief availability of their large and extremely well-appointed ship, Arctic Harvester, - temporarily freed from its work in fisheries research for the Federal Government - to take some of their older residents up to cast a nostalgic eye on their old dwelling place. And not their older residents only. Included in the party were many of the people of middle years who had been born at the site, and some younger people viewing the ancestral home for the first time. The Arctic Harvester which took the party from Davis Bay to Deserted Bay and return is a particularly well-appointed ship. Technically she has installed all the very latest in sea-scanning equipment and fishing gear and the eating and sleeping quarters verge on the luxurious. .Among the non-Indians invited along on the journey was an official of the Department of Indian Affairs who was quick to point put that the Sechelt Band had received no subsidy from the federal government for the purchase of their fine ship but had conceived the project and financed it entirely without aid. He said that throughout Canada the Sechelt Indian Band was taking the lead in showing enterprise and initiative and a sound grasp of business management. The ship is captained by Bob Baker of Lunenburg, N.S. who arrived to take command in November 1976. Several of the crew members have been associated with the ship since the days of her building. One such crew member, was the cook who was instrumental in preparing and preparing extremely well the day-long banquet that the lavish hospitality Among the eldest of the travellers were Liza August, Sarah Baptiste, and Moses Billy. For all three it was the first visit to the place they had been born in and had their children in many years. Sarah Baptiste could remember shooting ducks from the window of her home. She told a story also of German deserters from the First World War hidden away in the hills above Deserted Bay. They lived on dried berries which they would add water to in the winter. Sarah's father supplied them with flour so that they could better fare. Deserted Bay itself is a flat, green welcoming space among towering mountains in the deep corner on the right hand going up, just as Jervis Inlet takes its final abrupt turn on the left. Alders and willows are now in evidence but so too are old, old apple trees, for this was an orchard place. The hospitable flatness stretches on both sides ofthe Tsoh-nye River, a shallow and beautifully picturesque river which meanders gently to the sea from three small lakes just back of the Sechelt Band had provided among the, mountains..... It is still for the more than sixty voyagers. \" \"'\" ������ \"-\"���'��� Smoked oysters, deliciously- prepared crab, the finest of clam-; chowders, roast beef, roast ham, chicken. All day and in great abundance the rich fare appeared from the kitchen. When the guests, wearied a moment from the deck-watching of the scenic glories of Jervis Inlet, went downstairs in search, perhaps, for a cup of coffee only, it was generally to find, that some new culinary marvel had miraculously and abundantly appeared. a splendid steelhead river and was once a notable salmon river also, but higher up it has been logged right to the banks and the gravel has largely ruined it for the salmon spawning. As the Arctic Harvester approaches and docks in Deserted Bay the mood of anticipation and nostalgia quickens. Mothers with grown children giggle girlishly and recall incidents from the berry-picking days of their youth.

Democracy A few weeks ago, after the second deadlock at the Regional Board level over the question of whether or not Peninsula Recycling should be supported until such a time as the public could decide by referendum whether or not recycling should become a regular part of our garbage disposal lives, this paper ran an editorial commending the Regional Board members for their decision to consult the public on the matter. \"Responsible and responsive\" was how we described them. It would now appear that we were hasty in our commendation.of the board members, particularly those who originally voted negative. They were, you will recall, board members Pearson, Paterson, Thompson and Mulligan. They expressed themselves willing to consult public opinion a few weeks ago. That opinion has been consulted. Nearly six hundred people answered the questionnaire. Of that number, just about 57% expressed themselves as being in favour of providing Peninsula Recycling the interim support needed till the matter can be finally resolved in November. Now at least some of the directors in opposition to the support of Peninsula Recycling have defiantly declared that they are not going to change their original vote and furthermore that they never intended to change it. Be it noted that not one of the original four felt inclined to change his vote after the receipt of the returns from the questionnaire. It would only take one such change to break the deadlock. Now let's be quite clear about this. If the recycling of waste materials is as much a necessary part of the future as its proponents, including this paper, think it is, it will come whether a few stubborn regional-board members in this particular regional board in this particular place dig their heels in or not: If it is truly a tide born of necessity then all that can happen to these members is that they, will eventually look reactionary, short-sighted, and foolish. If the supporters of recycling are wrong and it is not a wave of the future, then none of this matters much any how. But there is something here that does matter. It is this business of duplicity, of misleading the public by a charade of democratic concern. We saw it recently in the 'consultations' that went on with the Ferry Corporation. Despite the outraged cries from the injured officials at the ferry corporation when they felt their integrity was being questioned, the fact of the matter is that the ferry schedules were being altered as an economy measure decreed by the government and the ferry officials had to effect those economy measures or give up their lucrative posts. Whatever pretense of input was made, economies were going to be effected - and they have been. It is the position of this newspaper that such staged and essentially meaningless exercises in pseudo-democracy can lead eventually only to public cynicism and apathy and the death of democracy. Now when the local regional board members agree to consult public opinion on an issue which they are incapable of resolving because of deadlock and then . decide to ignore the expression of that public opinion, and indeed to announce that at no time did they ever intend to change their minds anyway, they have betrayed the democratic principle. If 'any one of the four negative votes had stood up and said at the time the questionnaire was proposed, \"Look I don't care what happens with this questionnaire, I'm not changing my mind. I'll take my chances on my stand against recycling with the public at election time,\" then this paper would have no quarrel with that member, except perhaps a philosophic one which time would take care of in any case. But this is not a philosophic dispute about recycling. It is a question here about the democratic process and the trust of the public. Do not let a proposed questionnaire go unchallenged if you have no intention of letting it change your mind. Stand up and say so at the time of proposal! Not to do so is less than honest. Finally it is treating the public as though it contained nothing but fools. \"Give the fools a show of consultation and they'll be quiet,\" is the attitude. Now democracy in the fullness of history may prove at last to be an unworkable system, but in the meantime those of us who have vestigial hopes for it don't want to see it treated with contempt by those who certainly have no better system to offer. from the files of Coast Nam 5YEARSAGO Members of the Driftwood Players are off to Dawson Creek to present the winning production \"Suddenly Last Summer\".

Peterson Musings John Burnside Slings & Arrows George Matthews It is, I was informed by the Leisure Section of the Vancouver Son, National Bodybuilding Week in Canada. It may come as some-. thing as a surprise, but I have some considerable experience in this field of human endeavour even: though there is little evidence of it in my present expres-, sion of being. When I worked for the C.N.R. in the fifites in Montreal as a skinny, intense, late-blooming adolescent I decided that steps must be taken to render my body beautiful. I mean the only way you could tell me apart from the , 97-pound weakling in the Charles Atlas ads was that I was slightly taller and wore glasses. I studied the available opportunities for my literal self-aggrandizement. It seemed to me that the best path available to the beautiful body led through the Billy Hill Gymnasium at 1010 St. Catherine Street, East in Montreal. I can't imagine, now, why I chose it. It was half-way across the city from where I worked and completely across the city from where I lived, but there I went. Billy Hill was an ex-Mr. Canada and was really the.front man for the Ben Weider organization which was just getting its start and has since become international, I understand. There I entered the strange world of bench presses and squats and arm curls and pullovers and a variety of other gut- wrenching exercises designed to pump oxygen and nutrition over my scrawny frame and add pounds of rippling muscles to a body which I had been told by jovial folks a hundred times looked as if it had spent some time in Belsen concentration camp. I gulped down great tasteless spoonfuls of Ben Weider's own concentrated protein powder. Ate huge and equally tasteless plates of restaurant-bought spaghetti and, in short, paid conscientious attention to the business of beefiness. To say that I was self-conscious among the mountains of straining muscle that I found inhabited such establishments is to under- . state to the point of the ridiculous. I did, however, find one friend. His name was Hughie Mark and he was from Ottawa and was a couple of years older than I was. Beside Hughie my problems faded into insignificance - but only beside Hughie. nearly non-existent. His face was wrinkled and old.and sad, bad-tempered with cruel treatment and the misfortune of his existence, but he was a kindly fellow and pathetically grateful for even the most casually thrown of the crumbs of kindliness. He was employed by a blueprint company to deliver blueprints all over Montreal and he walked prodigious distances to save the price of the bus ticket to augment his pittance of an income. Sometimes as we walked back west after our training stint Hughie would fantasize about how we would be professional wrestlers after we had acquired the necessary bulk. I was struggling to achieve one hundred and twenty-five pounds at the time and he was twenty pounds lighter but I didn't have' the heart to express skepticism. We sweated and grunted under the barbells faithfully for over a year. Hughie virtually lived on spaghetti and in the course of the year had put on about twenty pounds - most of it an incongruous, flabby spare tire around his middle which only accentuated the deformed upper torso. I got stronger but no bulkier. I got stringier and stringier. Muscles rippled alright, but it was more the march of a colony of ants than the ponderous procession of a herd of elephants that I envisioned at my most hopeful when I had anticipated the dance of the swollen tissue. It was all very discouraging. Of course, it was not incomprehensible. A standard \"training\" day might see me walking about two miles after work across the city to the gym after being cooped up in an office all day. I'd grab a hasty pork chop along the way. After an hour or so among the sweating giants I'd walk back west along St. Chaterine Street and have a quick swim at the Y.M.C.A. on Drummond Street. Then I'd rendezvous with a few friends for a quick hour of bowling, catch the late movie and fascinated me.. Sleep was something that happened when your eyes fell shut. I learned a lot about pectoral muscles, and lateral muscles, and body-builders, however. I learned that even more indispensable than the barbells in such establishments 'were the wall mirrors. The name of the game seemed to be nothing if not Narcissism. Your standard bodybuilder, it seemed to me would never dream of lifting as much as a fly-swatter had he not a mirror to admire himself in. In total self-absorption and self-love they preened before the mirrors and each other, rippling various parts of their anatomy like peacocks who had been entirely plucked. They talked of the women who were always throwing themselves at the mighty physiques - yet they seemed to spend every waking moment before the mirrors of the gymnasium. Eventually, I came to realize that I just hadn't been programmed to sport a mighty bulk. Twenty years later I remain gaunt and emaciated-looking on bad days and slim on those days when I'm feeling good about myself. It no longer seems like such a bad fate. Hughie, too, gave up on his dream of becoming a professional wrestler and turned to country records and religion, but I know that in gymnasiums all across the continent they're still before the mirrors of their admiration puffing and posturing and this is their designated week. The most dedicated of them will be oiling their lats and their pects and rippling them under brief spotlights' in those strange male beauty contests and I do not begrudge them their brief and bulky glory. They will be a long time old. Behind every successful Liberal you're likely to find a true blue conservative. The trouble with Canadian politics is, that behind is almost always where the Conservatives are - not only in the cut and thrust of political competition, but behind the times in proposing acceptable solutions to national problems. The country clearly would benefit from a strong and articulate conservative philosophy. Where is it? When what conservatism needs is Edmond Burke or William F. Buckley, what we get are hot liners, car dealers and child prodigies. The Progressive Conservative Party of Canada has become a politically and philosophically bankrupt organization. Part of the problem lies in the nature of the times. \"Conservative\" has come to be equated with hidebound and obstinant dogmatism. It is synonymous with mean, stingy anti-people politics, hanging, regressive taxation, protection of the status quo, big business, Toronto lawyers, monopolies and the missionary position. The P. C. Party has also cleverly managed to acquire an image of dullness and negativism. The kind of \"decency\" arid \"honour\" which characterize men like Robert Stanfield have been translated by the press into adjectives like \"boring\" and \"unimaginative\". Last week's bye-election, while an obvious Liberal \"hustle\" in safe and predictable ridings, was a case in point. Clear lines of debate were never drawn, local issues overwelmed the national ones. Joe Clarke, while he showed up, was unable to articulate the issues or their significance; given the national stage for a week he chose to do the shuffle. While Joe waited in the wings getting his act together, Pierre performed ah elegant little song and dance number on a totally spurious \"national unity\" theme and stole the show. The kind of conservatism we need in this country is the kind which gives us some plain and straighforward alternatives to the parties of the left and center; He had been about two pounds at birth, he said, and had suffered through ridicule and physical beatings at the hands of Ottawa street gangs all his life. He was five feet nine and weighed one hundred and three pounds - and he had heavy legs. His upper torso wasn't just thin, it was very home shortly after midnight. I lost track of the number of times I fell asleep on the old Number 91 Lachine street car which ran to the south west corner of the city and out along a track among factories to Lachine; Sometimes I woke up in Lachine, paid another fare and tried to stay awake on the ride back into town. Once I woke up halfway to Lachine jumped out and stood shivering in .the frigid dark a half an hour only to be picked up- by the ' same street car returning. All in all, it was not a routine designed to help in the gaining of weight but I was young and living in the city for the first time and everything Octopus by Pat Lowther The octopus is beautifully functional as an umbrella; at rest a bag of rucked skin sags like an empty scrotum has jelled eyes sad and bored. but taking flight: look how lovely purposeful in every part: the jet vent smooth as modern plumbing the webbed pinwheel of tentacles moving in perfect accord like a machine dreamed by Leonardo the kind of conservatism which represents toughness in decision making, fiscal responsibility, ethical wisdom, strong support of our good institutions, ruthless axing of the bad, and balanced budgets. The kind of conservatism that has to be protected and encouraged is the kind that carefully analyses new ideas and proposals and asks questions like, Why? How much will it cost? Who is going to pay for it? Who is going to benefit? and What's wrong with the way we did it before? The kind of conservatism we've _been served up with, for the past -few years is plainly unacceptable. Certainly the party in power gets to call the shots while the opposition's role is to criticize. The Conservatives have been out of office so long that they have gained a reputation as nagging, carping pessimists. Twenty years of, \"The Agriculture critic in the Conservative caucus today charged...\", \"Joe Clarke criti- sised the government's proposed...\", \"The Conservative caucus blasted the government this \"week for its...\" tends to create the impression that the P.C.'s have nothing positive to say about anything. Surely it is time for a re-evaluation of party policy. Conservatism the world over has fallen on bad times. Associated with the Depression, harsh regimes, the Hitler era or the military, conservatism' has hit the skids. The Republican Party in the U. S. has shrunk to insignificance by crawling into its ideological shell and refused to believe it is not 1925. The party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Taft has become the party of Harding, Joe McCarthy and Nixon. Today, a conservative is not much more than a liberal with money and a family tree. We are living in a time when change has become an- institution in itself - any ideology which does not offer \"change\" in the name of \"progress\" is dismissed as having no validity. There is much more that is good in our society than is bad - how are we to conserve, protect and nourish the good institutions without strong representatives of conservatism? We are changing so quickly and so inexorably that when we eventually tire of change we will have nothing left to fall back on. Society will find itself obliged, like it or not, to carry on changing, adopting, throwing out and replacing. To get back to the point, what we are finding more and, more is the necessity for the Liberal Party to play the vital role .of conservatism abdicated by the inept P. C. 's. There \"is a need and a demand, in some circles, for more government restraint and fiscal responsibility. Restraint and responsibility have traditio-. naily been the Conservatives' strong suite but where are they when a large part of the country perceives a need for them? They appear to be residing at 24 Sussex Drive and the Liberal Caucus room. '-'y^^^xf^i^'i Coast News, May 31,197/. LETTERS to the EDITOR Energy Editor: \"Dad, I want a raise in my allowance.\" \"Son, I can't even talk to you about a raise in your allowance until you kick the heroin habit.'' It doesn't make sense to even talk about increasing expenditures in an area where money is being outrageously wasted. Similarly, the debate on whether or not we should build the MacKenzie Valley Pipeline or the Kitimat Pipeline should take into the account the fact that North Americans are energy junkies. No amount of the sacrifices, of money which might be better invested in other needs of government or industry, no destruction of the environment, no trampling of native, rights will satisfy our cravings for even bigger doses of energy. Behind the arguments for making every imagineable sacrifice for more energy is the word \"demand\". \"How will we meet the 'demand'.for more energy?\" is asked with the same hysteria that an addict uses in satisfying his 'demand' for another shot. If we don't change our systems of energy waste, what difference does it make whether we make this sacrifice or that sacrifice? In the near future, none of them will be enough to satisfy the craving. With voluntary conservation measures, Canada's energy requirements, by 1990, (13 years from now), will need an additional 21 new Syncrude plants or 42 Pickering nuclear power stations. So says Gordon McNabb, federal deputy minister of Energy, Mines and Resources (Toronto Globe & Mail, May 9, 1977) McNabb, by the way, is an optimist, who still predicts that shortfall after assuming that 30% of the gas we will be using in 1990 will be found between now and then. It doesn't exist yet as far as we know. Voluntary energy conservation means that thoughtful sharing people will inconvenience themselves, but the result of their sacrifice will be that more energy will be available to be wasted by the thoughtless and selfish. Surely no one makes proposals for\"' \"voluntary\" conservation' with any serious expectation of change. . The only fair way to share out our diminishing energy supplies is to start rationing, in spite of its known defects. Instead of being swayed by the hysterical demands of our southern neighbours - the world champion wasters - we have to begin to publicly discuss what our real needs are and how they can be more fairly satisfied from the energy sources available. The alternative, opening tanker ports here and building pipelines there, is to waste our country 'and its resources, to leave nothing for our children and their children except even louder cries from the Americans for \"more\". Richard von Fuchs Courtenay, B.C. Recycling Editor: I hate being in debt, and I dislike being part of any organization or government that is constantly in debt, or that is being run inefficiently. People want the government to do too much these days. They must realize that they are the government; municipal, regional, provincial and federal, and everything they want the government to do is costing that person on the fixed income more in taxes, or increasing the national debt, which is already well over S650 Million. I fear we will kill the goose that lays the golden egg, and be in the RED in more ways than one. I believe in RECYCLING, and Tom Haigh has succeeded in making others aware of its benefits. Now he can drop the ball and go on his way, knowing he has made his point, that we'll all be better for our awareness. It is now up to us, and through our service clubs can carry the ball from here. This has been done for years in communities such as White Rock, why not here? Much the same as our Cubs and Scouts conduct their bottle drives, two or three times a year.

We'd all be better off, when you think of what this could cost our country, when you mulitiply $23,000.00 times every village and municipality in Canada, if they were to duplicate the peninsula example. It should be noted that it took our family of six several months to accumulate, wash and squash enough cans to fill a grocery bag, and although I wanted to do my part, the truth is that I resented knowing what it could eventually cost our country if my efforts helped make a \"go\" of this. What good is it if our hospital auxiliaries volunteer thousands of hours to save dollars to ensure better hospital care, and then we spend the money on what could so easily be done by ���volunteers?

Why not question, instead, the existing, overall method of garbage handling? Why not combine recycling and garbage pickup... ecologically sound and possibly less expensive than the present generally accepted system? Suppose everyone were to: 1. Clean and flatten their tin cans, stacking them in a special container. 2. Periodically bundle their newspapers. 3. Collect compostable materials in separate container. 4. A third container for glass items. 5. Finally, a separate container for non-recyclables for burning or land fill. At the dump would be a special enclosure or area set aside for compostables. This would produce excellent material for organic gardening, top dressing for lawns, etc. Many, many people would patronize such a facility even, possibly, paying for the privilege. This system, too, would cut down on the cubic volume of garbage - (flattened tin cans take up very little space) and might well result in fewer required pickups. And of course glass, cans, bundled papers, scrap metal, etc., are marketable items, so here there would be some return. Certainly there would be obstacles to overcome. No doubt a great number of people would consider this a most inconvenient way of handling their garbage... it would be a matter of making these people aware of the developing ecological problems. It might even be necessary to REQUIRE that garbage be handled in a particular manner. I realize that garbage collection vehicles are not designed to handle separated garbage, but properly designed vehicles could be phased in, no doubt. On the other hand, to drop the idea of recycling altogether would be a step backward. It's worth a good deal of thought, don't you think? Evans Hermon The Sunshine Coast Community Resource Society held a fund raising \"Flea Market\" sale at Hackett Park during the Timber Days celebration. Once again good neighbours in the community gave their support. Successful results were due to many people, from donors of the merchandise to the lovely ladies who handled sales. Special thanks to Sechelt Building Supplies for . the loan of their tarp and timbers and to the Roberts Creek Community Association for the use of their hall tables. Gold metals go to volunteers Hilda Costerton, Jack MacLeod and Ed Wray. Hilda and Jack worked for hours, from beginning to the end of the sale and clean up, as did Ed Wray, who transported, assembled and dismantled equipment and assisted during the sale. The Flea Market would not have been possible without the help of all these generous people. The society extends it's sincere appreciation.

It will be especially helpful to people who suffer from long-term or unexpected illness. A brochure outlining the plan in detail has been mailed to all householders in the province. Please read it carefully and keep it handy for future reference. It would be wonderful if none of us ever required this protection���but if you should, we think you'll be relieved to know it's there when it's needed. t your pharmacist will be paid directly by r Pharmacare. . \" ..��� -Xr, :��� Xx '.''-v. j;:-���-.-������* XX Are there any new benefits? Yes. For the first time, ostomy supplies and designated permanent prosthetic appliances will be fully paid for. Syringes for diabetics are another new benefit. Pharmacare will pay the supplier directly for these items. W^ Who is not eligible for benefits? The Hon. William Nl. Vander Zalm Minister of Human Resources What are the changes under the new plan? For the first time, all individuals or families registered with Medical Services Plan of British Columbia are eligible for benefits. You will be reimbursed for 80% of any amount over $100 spent for eligible prescription items in each calendar year. This means that if such drugs cost you, for example, $300 in a year, Pharmacare would pay $160. Are existing benefits continuing? Yes. Fully-paid benefits for eligible drug items will continue unchanged if you: 1. are 65 years of age or older and hold a valid Pharmacare card 2. receive the Handicapped Personal Income Assistance allowance 3. hold a valid Mental Health Benefits card 4. hold a valid Human Resourses Medical Benefits Program \"W\" card for yourself and your dependents or 5. reside in a licensed long- term care facility. If you are the recipient of f ullypaid benefits, Tourists, transients and other temporary visitors to British Columbia are ineligible for Pharmacare benefits. People receiving fully-paid drug benefits from union- or employer-sponsored plans, or from D.V.A., D.I.A., Workers' Compensation or Home Care will continue to be protected by those programs. What drug items are covered? Most drugs prescribed by your doctor, dentist or podiastrist are eligible. However, such items as patent medicines, bandages, artificial sweeteners, vitamin combinations, antacids, laxatives and over-the-counter drugs will continue to be your own financial responsibility. Your pharmacist can advise you on specific items. How are claims submitted? To receive benefits, all you do is submit a Pharmacare Claim Form, available from any pharmacist. Unless you are receiving fully-paid benefits, your pharmacist will give you an official Pharmacare receipt when you pay for eligible items. Please attach the receipt to the Claim Form. No duplicate receipts will be issued. Receipts for ostomy supplies and permanent prosthetics should also be attached to the Claim Form, and Extended Benefit portion of the form completed. When you and your dependents have receipts exceeding the annual $100 deductible amount, just complete the front of the Claim Form. It is already addressed. Simply fold and fasten it, affix sufficient postage and drop it in the nearest mailbox. Who can answer questions about Universal Pharmacare? Your pharmacist is completely familiar with the details of this new health plan. ��harmacare Province of British Columbia Ministry of Human Resources Parliament Buildings Victoria. B.C.

KAJatH mews, May 31,1977. i: CBC Radio THE BELLE BAR CAFE The City of Vancouver in what I suppose, could be called my salad days, was a less-complex and much less-sophisticated place. Streetcars still rattled along their reliable tracks down the centre of thoroughfares measureably-less traffic-clogged than they are today. In houses innocent of T.V. antennae, fami- lies still listened to Fred Allen and Jack Benny or watched second-run double-bills at the neighbourhood movie-theatres. The downtown area was a good deal drabber and tackier in those years of the late Forties and early Fifties before redevelopment programs and clean-up campaigns. It was a dowdy, gaudy, sometimes-dangerous, always-fascinating place. It seemed that time moved slower then as it always does when you're young but it was also a more leisurely era. Half the traumas that plague our peace-of-mind in the Seventies such as pollution, cancer-producing foods, dwindling fuel resources and over-population had scarcely been recognized; let alone publicized. The main threat that hung over us was that of the atom-bomb but the prospect of nuclear doomsday was too horrific and imponderable to more than fleetingly consider. World War II was over and won. Ignorance, for the most part, was bliss. In the false-security of that faraway period, we drifted aimlessly through the lax days of our late teens and early twenties. What we did a lot of was simply hanging-out. We practiced this activity (or passivity) in various parts of the city and mainly in cafes before we summoned up the nerve to sneak into our first pubs and hide in dim corners, trying to look older. One factor that governed our choice of hangouts was the type of music-system, Paiges from a Life-Log Peter Trower the restaurant in question contained. We favoured places that had booth-jukeboxes of the type known as Tel-A-Tone where you could phone in requests to a large central record library. The quality ofthe food was incidental. We seldom ordered more than coffee or the odd hamburger anyhow. In 1949, not too many cafes boasted this type of jukebox and our quest for ones that did, led us down Hastings Street to the brink of the skid- road and a narrow, hole-in-the- wall establishment known as The Belle Bar. It was to become our downtown headquarters and general rallying-place for several years. In aesthetic or any other terms, The Belle Bar had little to offer. It was an upholstered tunnel, thirty feet wide and a hundred and fifty deep, squeezed between a second-rate hotel and a chintzy furniture-store. Beyond the furniture-store, three-balled and greedy, was one of the town's more notorious pawn-shops. The cafe had a short counter and a few booths in the front; a double-row of booths in the back. It was operated by a dyspeptic, bespectacled man known only as Mr. Brown and staffed by two or three harried, overpainted but friendly waitresses. It smelled of stale bacon and general desperation. It was our home away from home. I habituated the back booths along with my fellow explorers from the suburbs, Deke, Dapper, Bird and Joker. There we sipped from illegal bottles through straws, squandered untold nickels on the voracious juke-boxes and waited for women. The Belle Bar was also a magnet for adventurous girls from nearby offices DISCARDED GLASSES ?

The Board of Directors of the Sunshine Coast Regional Hospital District proposes to borrow money at any time or from time to time, after receiving the approval of the Lieutenant Governor in Council, by the issue and sale of debentures bearing interest at a rate or rates per annum as may be specified by the British Columbia Regional Hospital Districts Financing Authority at the time of borrowing and payable over a period or periods not exceeding twenty-five years from the date or respective dates thereof, in such principal amounts as the Board may from time to time deem necessary to raise a net sum not exceeding in the aggregate Two Million, Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,750,000) after payment of discount, commission, brokerage, exchange and other expenses with respect to such issue or sale for the purposes specified in the Regional Hospital Districts Act, with repayment to be shared by the Province under the provisions of the Regional Hospital Districts Act.

Devlin Director 886-9551 1665 Seaview Gibsons and shops, many of whom were not at all averse to being picked up by such suave punks-about- town as we fondly imagined we were. Our styles were generally cramped by lack of money and these random trysts ended, more often than not, in the backrow seats of sleazy, adjacent theatres, doggedly attempting to make-out. Occasionally, when we were in the chips, our dates took us further afield into the uptown nightclubs. On one such lucrative evening, I managed to ensnare an extremely pretty receptionist called Jean and, hoping to impress her with my worldliness, took her to The Cave to see her favourite singer, Billy Eckstine. It was a horrific fiasco. Jean, demure as a kitten when sober, proved to be an attention-seeking witch after a few drinks. Eckstine had just finished a set and was leaving the stage when she dashed from the table, accosted him in front of the entire crowd and began heaping unwarranted insults on him. What her motive was, I can't imagine. I could only watch aghast. Next minute, the bouncer was ushering us forcibly towards the exit. It disabused me of any further fixation on Jean.. Fortunately, not many of our Bell Bar belles were prone to such performances. Apart from girls, The Belle Bar was a rendezvous-point for the leaders and lieutenants qf several rival zoot-suit gangs whose frequent rumbles kept the cops and reporters busy. Curiously enough, it seemed by some sort of unspoken agreement, to have been declared a neutral zone. The hoodlum kingpins sat in their various booths, acknowledging each other with cold nods, if at all but they never fought. The group I generally travelled with was not a combative gang except when sorely pressed but we kept a tacit, nodding acquaintance with the ones that were and generally steered clear of their home districts where no such truces obtained. We mainly observed. One of the gangs that frequented The Belle Bar, hailed from the eastend tenements and boasted some colourful members such as Dewey the Gypsy, the sharpest dresser in town and Shakey, a spastic misfit who would later become a panderer and finally die as a murdered snitch in an alley. Doom rode most of them even then. We noticed that they seemed to take an unusual number of trips to the jphn in the rear of the place. Their behaviour was frequently bemused and odd. Finally, Mr. Brown, the owner, followed a couple of them to\" the toilet and emerged irately, shouting things like: \"Goddamn addicts! Call the Narcotics Squad!\" The gang exited in a hurry, not to be seen again on those premises. We had encountered our first junkies. We remained in good standing with Mr. Brown and continued to haunt his greasy-spoon precincts for a couple more years. Gradually, we all drifted on to slightly more constructive endeavours and left the days of The Belle Bar Cafe behind us. Long after, I wandered back along that luckless street to see if the place still existed. It was gone as though it had never been. The store next door had expanded, squeezing it utterly out of being. So much for one more corrupt old outpost, I thought. So much for my wilted and shot-to-hell salad days. Featuring THIS i WEEK ''5 A STAR IS BORN YOU'VE SEEN THE MOVIE....

Interview with director JohnSchlesi A High Wind In Jamaica Richard Hughes ByArdithKent It has been said and I have to agree, that A High Wind In Jamaica is one of the best books ever written about children and Richard Hughes achieves it both lovingly and honestly. The plot involves a group of children who are sent from Jamaica to England by sailing ship in the latter half of the. nineteenth century in order to continue their education. En route their ship is captured by pirates off the coast of Cuba. The children are taken hostage to frighten their ship's captain into telling where his money is hidden. Inadvertently, and much to the pirate's consternation, thechild- Books with John Faustmann ren are left on board the pirate ship. The original ship's crew, believing the children to be dead, depart. Richard Hughes' writing blends both humour and sadness which makes the interaction between the characters very believable. Hughes stages the story toward the end of priacy's heyday, when the pirates remaining in the 'business' are not the really brutish ones of earlier times, but are more mellow, kind- hearted types. As a result, the relationships which develop between the pirates and children are not as one might expect between pirate and hostage.

Hughes fortunately avoids sentimentality which could easily spring from such a situation. Hughes' understanding of the child's mind and world is both perceptive and delightful. He must have been a very observant babysitter while in the presence of Robert Graves' children, since Hughes had none of his own when he wrote this book. As he once said, he had the advantage of \"seeing them as they really are without the lies parents have to tell themselves sometimes, without the precautions children have to take\". This book stirred public controversy when it first appeared in 1929 because of its portrayal of children's behaviour, in particular, the fact that a ten year old girl stabs to death a hostage which the pirates have left in her charge and she does not confess to having done it. Many people were unable to believe a child would do such a thing and if she did, surely she would confess. The complexities of the child's mind as treated so realistically by Hughes \"has done more to change peoples' ideas about children than all the works of Freud\". This .novel reminds one how separate and different the childhood world is from the adult world and makes the adult reader delight in reminiscences of his own forever vanished childhood world. The Sunshine Man D. M. Clark McClelland & Stewart 224 pp. John Faustmann Fat, ageing, seething and emotionally constipated Figgy Van Rijn is the hero here, in this novel istic ballet for tuba and tranquilizers. Figgy's wife is leaving him because she knows about the affair he's having with 'his secretary. Figgy's mother is dying, inching away from life a day at a time in her hospital bed. Figgy's father is continually violent, and when he and Figgy meet at the bedside they argue so loudly the nurses have to kick them out. Meanwhile, Figgy has a depressing job as a drug salesman, mortgage payments to meet, a drinking problem, an empty house that's a museum to another bad marriage, and a boss who anyone in their right mind would throw under the wheels of an oncoming bus. How does poor Figgy come to grips with all this? He gets nasty., He breaks things. He goes to parties and insults everyone. He beats up the secretary when she says she's leaving him. He sends dirty underwear to his boss through the mails, and he calls up his wife and yells at her over the phone. Clark catches it well. Pleasant it isn't, but he deals with it under a harsh, clear light of prose. He writes the rage of the lonely man, a victim of the times, but mostly a victim of himself. The short chapters are clear and intense, the anger is hot enough to burn you as you read. It ends in a likely confusion. As Figgy says: \"There are things you want and cannot have; and things you have you do not want. But try to sort them out.\" D. M. Clark doesn't have any answers, but his questions are as familiar as the reflections of ourselves. > Coast News, May 31,1977.

Sunshine Coast Arts Program l By Allan Crean Crane A varied programme of entertainment concluded the annual . general meeting of the Sunshine I Coast Arts Council last Friday, I May 27 at Whittaker House. This ! was preceded by the business J part of the meeting which saw ; the election of King Anderson, ; Trudy Small and Faye Birkin as ; Directors of the Council. Joan ; Marshall, Ola Arnold, Shirley ; Apsouris and Clarke Steabner, 1 whose two year terms expire ; this June, allowed their names to ' stand for re-election and were so ��� acclaimed. John Burnside, Vivian Chamberlain, Yvette Kent and Doris Crowston are entering the second year of the two year term for which they were elected in 1976. In other council business, it was announced by Director Steabner that no building on the new construction planned to accommodate the \"Sunshine Coast Arts Council could commence before early August. Sechelt Village Council have approved the site in principle, and preliminary tests are in process. The proceeds of two raffles have accrued to the building fund which was established to raise funds for the new building itself. The federal grant mostly covers labour costs. B. Duteau of Gibsons won a painting by Charles Murray, and Pauline Pollock of Madeira Park won a painting by Alice Murray. The Paula Ross Dancers were announced to perform at 8:00 ' p.m. in the gymnasium of Elphin- . stone Secondary School on Saturday, June 4th. Further details are advertised elsewhere in this newspaper. One further piece of business directly related to the entertainment section of the meeting was the Annual Student Scholarship Award of $150. This award was presented to thirteen year old Mario Reiche of Gibsons, a student at Elphinstone Secondary . School where he plays clarinet in the school band. Mario's musical activities do not, however, stop there. He has been studying piano for several years now, and for three years has been studying accordion with Mr. John Risbey of Sechelt. He has won prizes at Bob Dressler's Accordion Festival in Vancouver and also at the local Kiwanis Festival. His teachers say that Mario never has \"to be told to practice because he is so highly self-motivated. On Friday, Mario played Bill Palmer's Gypsy Dance for us on his accordion. He seemed to be nervous and had a couple of anxious moments, but he played with good control of dynamics and phrasing and a fine sense of style. Mario's performance was followed by that of the Raincoast Madrigal Singers who performed four madrigals for us. The performances of these madrigals were generally sound and secure. These were pleasing performances. The next item on the agenda was a performance of Pietro Locatelli's (1695-1764) Suite for flute and harpsichord in a trans- . cription for clarinet and guitar played by Ron Watts and Clarke Steabner respectively. The evening concluded with another .treat in the person of mime artist , Gerardo Avilla. Sketches such as 'The Magician' and 'Suicide' were greeted with wrapt attention and often uproarious laughter. In 'Suicide', the 'gun' took on a life of its own. Local colour was provided by the sketch 'The Twilight Theatre' about the spectator nobody wants. Mr. Avilla's performances were soundly applauded by approximately thirty persons who crowded into the small downstairs room in Whittaker House where these performances took place. He is an engaging and talented artist. The Sunshine Coast Arts Council is to be commended on this enterprising and enjoyable programme of entertainment. It is to be hoped that the proposed new home for the council will include a performing space where larger audiences may be housed so that more people will have the opportunity to enjoy entertainment of the calibre which we enjoyed last Friday.

They ignored that report and used their own form of ad-hoc planning in raising the rates,\" said Lockstead. Lockstead went on to say that the repercussions of raising the ferry rates \"have been far ranging and have created havoc -in the coastal communities dependent on the ferries for their economic stability. This gang of millionaires for all their boasting about being such competent business people have blindly charged ahead with no consideration for the economic shock waves they send through the communities with their actions.\" Mr. Lockstead expressed dismay over the lack of action by the government in regards to the transportation problems of the north and central coast of B.C. \"They made a promise to the London Hawaii Register NOW Space already Limited AUTHORIZED AGENT FOR: * WARDAIR *CPAIR ���SUNFLIGHT 'WESTERN AIRLINES * LAND, SEA AND AIR TOURS 1212 Cowrie St. Sechelt people of those areas and they have been waiting patiently for some action. I have talked with the people of those communities and they are truly experiencing hardship as a result of the lack of action on the part of the government.\" Lockstead said, \"It is sad to see a government scrambling to find some sort of stimulus for the economy. They are their jown worst enemy. They put the rates up over 100 percent and then turn around and drop them 20. Clearly that is the action of a government with no direction and one that is desperate to try and redeem itself in the public eye.\" Rod and Gun Club Among the last of his official duties as Conservation Officer of this area before his retirement at the end of May, Pat Mulligan presented the graduation certificates and Fish & Wildlife badges to twenty-one students who were successful in achieving the required passing grade of 70% in their recent examinations following this spring's Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Education Program sponsored by the Sechelt Peninsula Rod & Gun Club. The instructors this year were Bea Rankin, Bill Rankin, Lou Rowland, Fred Cotton, Bob Janis, George Flay, Joe Mellis, Len Clarke and Harold Nelson. The successful students were topped by Derek Everard with 97% closely followed by Steven ONO 95%, Gary Thomas and David Maedel 93%, Herbert Ono and Dale Maedel 92%, and Lynda Olsen and Pat Thompson 90%. Also complimented for their good standings were Donald Baker, Shayne Davis, Mark Yeat- man, Clive Sutherland, Pat Perry, David Lamont, Tom Leech, Donald Dombrowski, Ken Chapman, Philip Metzlaw, Chris Perry, Douglas Netzlaw and Dean Martinsen. Prior to the presentation, a film \"Living River\" was shown and Mr. Mulligan stressed the importance of maintaining the habitat of stream and river estuaries as nature has made them, as resting places for small fish and for birds. Pender May Day Coast News, May 31,1977. Strikes and spares Pleasant weather and cheerful relaxed crowds were the order of the day at the Pender Harbour May Day Festivities held on Saturday, May 28th, in the grounds of the Madeira Park Elementary School. Perhaps the big attention getter of the day were the wristwrestling championships. Co- referee at the tournament was Heinz Huesmann, the Heavyweight Wrist-wrestling Champion of the World in 1974. Huesmann commented at the conclusion of the tournament that it was a long time since he'd seen a tournament-go more smoothly. He attributed the smoothness to the evident community spirit. In the actual competition, Sandy Hately of Pender Harbour . was the big winner. He first won his own division, the middleweight, with Bill Peters second, and Chic Page of Pender Harbour third. Not content with his victory, Hately then challenged the winner of the heavyweight division, Loy Haas of Pender Har bour and succeeded in defeating the heavier man to wind up champion in both categories. Gerald Bockrant of Madeira Park came in third among the heavies. To cap off a successful day, Hately also won the caber toss. In the Featherweight Division of the Wrist-wrestling Pierre Berdahl of Gibsons was the champion, with Victor Harrison, also of Gibsons, in second place and Art Johnson of Sechelt in third place. In the Lightweight Division, the winner was Harry Kammerle of Madeira Park, with James B. Crick of Sechelt in second place, and Louis Cote of Pender Harbour in third place. A member of the organization committee of the Wrest-wrest- ling Committee told the Coast News that the committee hopes to organize a Secondary School Competition in the near future. In other athletic competition of the day Mark Carswell took first place in the axe-throwing competition. 300 games keep coming in the Spring League.

In all probability, a lone young animal's mother is hiding or feeding nearby, and any human interference with her youngster would be extremely distressing to both animals. Don Robinson, acting director of the Ministry's fish and wildlife branch said that on those rare occasions when a young animal has actually been left to its own devices, the recommended procedure is to contact the. local conservation officer at the nearest fish and wildlife district office. ^\\yf jC>z��Lqn & (2u-tomLzlna i TRUCKS | VANS 1 CARS Box 931 Gibsons, B.

This poem with it's inspiring philosophy, was submitted by a TOPS member. \"Success is measured in many ways, a success is joy, compliments and praise; Success can be attainment of knowledge, business promotions, degrees earned in college; Success is measured by things that we own, new clothes, automobiles, a home. But Success is measured quite differently at TOPS, I'ts not measured by objects, spoonfuls or drops, It's not in things added, but it's achieved at great cost; It's in things subtracted - the pounds we have lost!\" TOPS #BC 578 GIBSONS meets every Thursday afternoon at 1:30 in the Health Clinic.

Nutrition notes QUESTION: What is the fluid requirement ofthe average adult? ANSWER: The average adult can meet his/her daily fluid requirement by consuming at least 1.5 litre (50-60 oz.) of fluid from beverages (water, tea, coffee, juices, milk) and foods (soups fruits, vegetables, etc.). Fluid requirements may vary with degree of activity, temperature, and the amount of water lost through perspiration. QUESTION: Can you heat commercial baby food in a microwave oven? ANSWER: In order to evenly heat baby food in a microwave oven, the food should be removed from the jar or can and placed into a fruit nappy. Partially heat, : stir, and finish heating to desired temperature. QUESTION: I understand that the term, calorie, is being abandoned now that Canada is going metric. Could you please give me the new term and its conversions into calories? ANSWER: The term being introduced to measure the energy derived from foods is the kilo- joule. One kilojoule (KJ) is the unit of energy approximately equal to .239 kilocalories of heat energy. The revised nutrient value tables will look like this: Milk, fluid (3.5% butterfat) 250 ml. = 704 KJ rather than I cup = 160 calories.

Dogwood Takeout MURRAY'S Garden & Pet Supplies BARK MULCH $2.29 SACK 886-2919 By RICHARD PARKER After reading the Editor's piece on the subject of forgetful- ness, I would like to add two memories of my father which were!brought to mind by some of John's stories. My fathers speciality was keys and as he ran a pub for many years he had ample opportunity for losing many sets. There is no more frustrating moment than the entire household having searched for hours, the customers pounding on the door and threatening to go to the boozer down the road, and my father reaching into a fob pocket in his waistcoat and producing the missing keys with all the pleased surprise of an amateur conjurer getting a rabbit out of a hat for the first time. He was also intrigued by new gadgets and when aerosols 'first came out the house filled up with a dozen different cans. Until one morning he emerged from the bathroom muttering and mumbling and to the amazed gaze of the family, appeared to be infested with some giant fungus which was attacking his armpits. On closer inspection, you guessed it, it was found that he had grabbed the shave-foam can under the misapprehension that it was the deodorant with consequent disastrous results. In a similar vein the Dogwood has its fair share of moments of pure comedy. I was in the process of concocting hamburgers one day and hearing a strangled cry glanced up to see what appeared to be the ceiling and wall covered with blood. While looking for the body I noticed two of our regular customers staring redfaced at each other. Under a little prompting the story came out. One of them had been about to layer ketchup on his omlette and was holding the satchet in which we supply this item in one hand. His partner made some comment which caused a momentary emotional outburst and an involuntary clenching of the fist, forgetting about the sachet with the result that the cafe appeared to be involved in Gibson's version of the St. Valentines Day massacre. Finally, if I may end on a personal note. To all the customers . who have and to all the customers who will come up to me and order a hamburger or whatever and 10 minutes later come up patiently to remind me again as I potter about the kitchen in a mental fog. My heartfelt apologies, but my old man never got any better and I don't think I will. Talk Last issue I wrote on 2 of the main fish ailments which was ich and velvet. I shall continue this issue with a few others, one of which is probably the most pronounced locally, is fungus. This may appear as mouth fungus, tail rot, infected wounds and badly bruised fish. This can be recognized by a white or whitish-grey area on the infected fish. With mouth fungus it is seen around the lips, with fin or tail rot it may not show as a fungus but can be easily seen as decaying fins or tail as it becomes more pronounced. In wounds it is easily seen but badly bruised fish are not as noticable until a few days has passed. One of the best cures I have used is put out by the Jungle Laboratories people, the name is Fungus Stop. There are several other cures. on the aquarium dealers' shelves which are also good cures. Another disease which is present locally is Neon Tetra disease. When this strikes the neons, it will be seen at the base of the tail and at first causes the red colour found there, to turn a pinkish colour. Later this will turn white or tan and the section affected will rot. So far I have never cured this disease in my aquariums, but should it reappear I will try the following which I just found out about, use commercial formaldehyde, 2 drops to the gallon. According to the author of this remedy, it will cure tetras in a matter of hours. Another and probably the most hidden of \"diseases\" is chemical or metallic poisoning. The first sign of this problem is the fish all move toward the surface to try and get more air, the next being the fish starting to shimmy and fold their fins back against their bodies. Very soon after they will go to the bottom and lie there, being very listless and lastly, they will begin to die. Before going into a cure I will endeavour to point out some forms of poisoning. These can come from copper pipes feeding water into your home. This will happen when water has been left in the pipes for a day or more. Another cause is insecticides and herbicides sprayed in the home, garden or near your local water supply. This must be watched because if introduced into your aquarium it could prove 100% fatal to fish or plants. A friend of mine told me of another form which was put into his aquarium one evening while his son was having a party. A well- meaning young man decided the fish needed some refreshment so he added a little beer to the water, needless to say every fish in his tank was dead the following morning. He never knew what caused the death until a year later when this person came forward and admitted his guilt. Another problem is in the form of ornaments, never put in a store bought ornament unless it is for an aquarium. Sterilize all bits of wood and rock. Be careful of the types of rock also, do not use limerock or marble as these will cause the water to go hard by raising the pH. The only cure I know of for poisoning is a quick exchange of water for the aquarium. Another thing that has bothered some people is chlorinated water. So far Gibsons and surrounding areas have no problems with this as the water supply is only chlorinated occasionally and by the time it reaches your home it would have been given off as gas.
