Hugh Curtis, Saanich and the Islands MLA, asked whethei the minister was aware of any study or preliminary design for a link between the two islands. "I have no knowledge of any such study," stated the min- ister. Rationale for the rumours, explained Curtis is that the rumoured structure would signi ficantly reduce the running time of the Mayne Queen. Improvements to the Village Bay docking facilities at Mayne Island contributed to the reports. LOST A RACCOON ? Lost a raccoon? If you have, there's a good chance that your pet is the one who has edged a pet cat out of her bed. Jessie Sayer found her cat wandering about the garden in a state or nervousness instead of curling up to go to sleep in her bed under the building. She investigated and drag- ged the cat's DOX out to find a fully-grown raccoon lying in it. She hurriedly abandoned her task for fear of losing her fingers, but she figures it must be a tame pet because it didn't jump out when she went to move the box. In the meantime, die cat now has a new home in the same establishment. TWO CHIMNEY FIRES IN PAST WEEK There was no damage to the home when a chimney fire brought firemen out to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Laing, Arbutus Place, Ganges, on Sunday. Alarm was sounded at about 10.30 pm. Second chimney fire brought firemen out at Fulford on Mon- day morning, Mar. 10. There was no damage to the home of R, Alton on Isabella Point Road.

This week three lights were reported destroyed at Central and three at Vesuvius, as well as the night light in the high- ways yard at Central. WEAVERS GET THE MESSAGE Mrs. Jean Wilson came fromBellevue last week to offer a four-day course for Salt Spring Island weavers. Mrs. Wilson is seen here as she conducts her class in Mah- on Hall and Norma Barrington listens avidly. Mahon Hall was colourful with the btight display of weaving and text books during the course. TRUST TO COST 5236,552 Last week Hugh Curtis, MLA, furnished die summary of costs of 1974 of the Islands Trust. This week he has come forward with the estim- ates for 1975.

BALD EAGLES HOLDING THEIR OWN There are no less bald eag- les in the Gulf Islands than there were a decade ago. Newsletter, published by the B. C. Federation of Natur- alists, reports that a recent count taken from the Gulf Is- lands south of Nanaimo, show- ed 214 wintering birds and 68 nests. Last count was taken in 1963 by David Hancock, said the Newsletter. That count indicated 219 birds and 65 nests. BIG VISITOR Canadian Government hy- drographic survey ship Pan- zeau was a visitor to Ganges Harbour this week. Anchored in the harbour on Tuesday morning, Parizeau was one of the harbour's larger visitors. FIRE IS FALSE ALARM When fire crews were called out on Thursday to Salt Spring Island Elementary School, the warning proved to be a false alarm. Alarm was blamed on the warning system. Access to lake may be offered Access to St. Mary Lake may be available to the Salt Spring Island Chamber of Commerce provided it is un- likely to prove contentious. Department of Highways Engineer G. W. Harper wrote to the Chamber last week in response to a report in Drift- wood of the Chamber's delib- erations on lake access. Regional Director George Heinekey had told the Chamb- er that such accesses owned by the department of highways could not be acquired or dev- eloped by the regional district "While they cannot be ac- quired, " agreed the engineer's letter, "It is possible to devel- op such accesses for public use." Accesses are not always wel- comed by local residents and they can cause a litter prob- lem, cautioned the engineer's letter. "If an access exists which the Chamber is interested in improving, this office will give favourable consideration, provided it is in the public in- terest and not apt to create contention." COLDER AND WETTER MONTH February was colder, snow- ier and wetter than average, Ganges Fulford route again — CHARIOTS BIGGER AND BETTER Big success of die Walka- thon last year at Salt Spring Island was blamed on the chariot races. The introduc- tion of chariots, made by participating clubs and drawn by "slaves" attracted more support and more interest. Chariots were die brain- child of Les Ramsey. This year the Lions Walka- dion will be staged on the Sat urday after Good Friday, March 29, and die route will be as last year, again. Walkers, runners and chari- ots will move from Ganges to Fulford.: There will be check points through die route and refreshments will be offered at finishing point. The challenge is die appeal to many participants. The challenge is to walk the full eight miles. The spectacle of massed walkers moving off and die constant contest be- tween competitors makes its own appeal. Addition of die chariots introduces an entirely new aspect to die contest. Bigger and better chariots are already in die making. The Lions Club collects on the gamble. Each contestant submits pledges for a stated sum for each mile completed. If he walks one mile, the Li- ons get one eighth of die am- ount payable if he makes the complete trip. Walkadion has been a part of Salt Spring Island for some eight years. This year, for die second time, proceeds will go to die recreation com- plex at Central. The service club is hoping for second year of warm support. reports Dominion Weather Observer H. J. Carlin, at Ganges. The mercury went up to 51 deg. and fell to 26, during the month. Maximum mean of 42.7 was recorded and mini- mum mean, 31.6.

New service at Ganges isold hat to Galiano. Bob Hopeoperated the Porlier PassMarina for a number of yearsbefore coming to Salt Spring.
At Porlier Pass he servedsports and commercial fisher-men with everything theyneeded to set out fishing. AtGanges he serves them withtheir gear and leaves the gro-ceries to the grocery stores.
Where there's Bob Hope,there's Sons.
There are two sons in Hopeand Sons. Both are interestedin fishing and the older son,Jeff, has his own fishboat.Going to school at Ganges andliving on a marina at NorthGaliano, it was logical thathe would go fishing. As Bobputs it, the boat was goingfor sale, so he bought it.

Tough on Robert W. Post-master General Bryce Macka-sey announces that technicaldifficulties have chopped Rob-ert W. Service and his placeis taken by two rivals. Aspecial Canadian literaturestamp was to have been issuedto pay tribute to the Gold Rushpoet. On May 15 stamps willappear to offer a reminder ofthe career of L. M. Montgom -ery, who created Anne ofGreen Gables and to LouisHemon, of Maria Chapdelainefame. But no Red Cross Rhymes.
Last fall I received a letterfrom an eastern writer. Fer-gus Cronin lives in the myster-ious east in a place they callOntario. I filed the letter butmy filing system goes in fitsand starts, digesting part ofthe filing and regurgitating itat unexpected intervals.Cronin wrote that he was read-ing through a copy of Driftwoocbefore checking the date. Itwas more that a year old. Ifit can be interesting 15 monthsafter publication, send us asubscription, he wrote. Hisfamily had fallen under thespell of the island, noted thewriter, until even he had setout for the far west.
Seems I always get back tothis business of the west. Theeast may still be mysterious,but we all know where it is.Not so the west. When theman from Tranner looks toward)the setting sun, he sees, in hismind, the waving fields ofgrain a thousand miles east.When the United States westwas being won, it was so fareast the coast Indians didn'tknow t' ere was one. To anEdmontonian we are bumpinginto Japan and he's west, upthere in the frozen north! Onlything we know for sure is thenorth and the south of it andmost of us will stay south.

succumb;Some are called to find a

simply "die".• » *
I don't go much on HughCurtis's typing. I was readinga letter from him last weekand I felt good because it's somuch worse than mine andmine is lousy. But I mightget him a new dictionary!

Smoking is like hiccups
when you get on the FulfordFerry. Some days you can:some days you can't. When Icame over to Fulford last weekthere were all kinds of proudnotices warning me not tosmoke in the vicinity of thecoffee bar. So, next time I'mon the ferry I sit at the otherend of the saloon. But by thattime the ban is off and youcan smoke all over that deck,but not below. It's enough tostart a man on cigarettes again!
All these things are illegaland therefore evil, but westill remember the bad olddays when stores would adver-tise for clerks, sexually.There were sales girls, saleswomen and sales ladies. Thertwere also salesmen. But never
sales boys or sales gentlemen.Why not? I mean, Why not?
Last week I lost a licenseplate. After buying a new onefrom Salt Spring Insurance, Iwas fixing it. Came past ayoung couple. "Got caught,eh?" he said, knowingly. No,he did!

WHAT'S FUNNY ABOUT VANDALISM?What is there about street signs and private pro
perty that so appeals to vandals? On Salt SpringIsland the Highways Crew are kept busy replacinghighway signs when they could be better employedrepairing highways.
As fast as a new sign is erected it is knockeddown by drivers whose brains are centred in thesole of the right foot.
The appeal of public property has always beenevident. Presumably the fellow who knocks thesigns down is brother to the man who goes berserkwhen he sees a public toilet.
Last week the enthusiasm was spreading. Newsign at Valcourt's Business Centre was damaged bya rock .
It is likely the man who threw it has been chuckl-ing for a week at his cleverness and the humour ofspoiling something.
These people make you sick in the city and theyare no more welcome in the rural areas.

WHAT'S WRONG?
Sir,I am writing on behalf of
the grade nine english studenteof the Gulf Islands SecondarySchool in protest of the re-port from the school boardmeeting in the March 5thDriftwood.
First, I agree some of thetextbooks used are ridiculous,but we use a lot of good nov-els and other books. For ex-ample, lately we have beenstudying a collection of shortstones by famous contempor-ary authors such as W.Somer-set Maugham and Dorothy L.Sayers. Most of these storieswe found enjoyable and ab-sorbing. This is in direct con-trast to some of the other re-quired grade nine reading atother high schools.
Second, regarding gram-mer. We do a lot of sentenceconstruction and study theparts of speach greatly. Bythe time a student reachesgrade nine, he or she shouldhave a good understanding ofsimple grammer.
Thirdly, I feel we do not"pussy foot". We do about 3to 4 hours english homework
/a week and have 3 or 4, onehour english period's a week.In these periods we accomp-
lish a fair amout of reading,writing and grammer.
This leads me to think that,there must have been a miss-quotation or that not all ourmaterials and texts were seenby the school board.
Sincerly,RichardJ. Cobanli,P. O. Box 667,Ganges,March 11, 1975.

THE STORY OF HERRINGBY GERRY HARRIS
SOME BASIC FACTS AND UN-ANSWERED QUESTIONS
Investigators have studiedherring in the Strait of Georgiafor over 40 years. As basicknowledge of herring increasesit becomes more and morepossible to manage the re-source wisely. Research is notcomplete, however. Importantquestions remain to be answer-ed. The purpose of this art-icle is to present a few of thebasic facts about GeorgiaStrait herring and to point outsome of the areas in which re-search is still needed.
The first part of the articlewill focus on the life historyof the herring and on the popu-lations of the Strait of Georgia,Already, many of us have agood grasp of salmon life hist-ories. Some also have strongopinions on herring manage-ment. But few know muchabout herring.SPAWNING
The Pacific herring depositseggs on seaweed primarily intiie intertidal zone. Rockweedis the preferred substrate onrocky shores, eelgrass and sar-gassum on sandy snores. Attimes of extreme spawningfrenzy anything that does notswim away may be used assubstrate, including rocks, pil-ings, and even sand. Spawningin the Strait of Georgia canoccur from early February tomid April. The third week inMarch is considered peakspawning time. On the aver-age each female deposits19,000 eggs per year, of whichtwo survive to adulthood.INCUBATION
Eggs stick to the substratesduring incubation. Dependingon water temperature (normal-ly between 48 deg.F and 44deg. F) incubation takes 14 to <18 days. Average mortalityduring this period is estimatedat 657^ but 80% is not un-heard of and it can go evenhigher. Gulls and ducks mayeat 40% or more of the spawnon a given beach. Storms canwash eggs off substrates andeven uproot the favoured sea-weeds. Spawn that is toothick may suffocate itself.LARVA
When surviving eggs hatchinto larvae the herring beginthe most dangerous six weeksof their lives. Herring larvaeare drifting planktonic anim-als. They feed largely on theeggs and larvae of other anim-als, and are preyed upon most*ly by comb jellies, arrowworms and jellyfish.
Not predators, but inshorewater currents are the greatestthreat to herring larvae. If

currents drift the herring off-shore from the nursery areas^tremendous mortality results,due to lack of preferred foodoffshore. Mortality of 99. 5%is not unusual, if wind andcurrents hold larvae inshore,survival is generally high. Re-search suggests that the dir-ection ofuishore water cur-rents during the larval stageis one of the most importantfactors in the success of a giv-en brood of herring. Whetherspawning is excellent or onlyfair, larval mortality probab-ly determines how many ad-ults will result.
To estimate larval survivalit is helpful to look at weath-er conditions during winterand spring. The most criticalfactor appears to be predomin«a nt wind direction betweenDecember and March. In theStrait of Georgia the greatestsurvival of larvae usually oc-curs when slightly more windcomes from the north thanfrom the south. If too muchof the wind is northerly or ifmost is southerly then survivalwill probably be poor. Thewinds of winter and earlyspring set up the inshore watercurrent that carry herring lar-vae.
JUVENILEBy the end of the larval
period the herring averageabout 11/2" in length. Theynow form into schools whichremain inshore feeding. Asthey grow, their diet shiftstoward crustacean plankton,particularly copepods. Juven-ile herring generally grow toabout 4 inches by mid autumnwhen most of them migrateout of the Strait of Georgia.Juveniles that migrate outusually travel to waters offthe west coast of VancouverIsland where they remain fortwo years, feeding.
At 5 to 6 inches in lengththe main item of diet is an-other crustacean, the euphau-sid. Commonly called redfeed" or krill", the euphasidis better known as a food ofcoho salmon. Euphausids arethought to remain the primaryfeed of adult herring. Copep-•ods may gain temporary im-portance during the spring. Itis not yet clear whether co-pepods and euphausids arenecessary to herring or wheth-er the fish could survive onalternate food. Recorded her-ring foods include other crus-taceans, herring eggs andyoung, and even small chumand chinook salmon.
ADULTMost herring do not migrate
back to Georgia Strait untilthe Autumn of their third yeai
They now average about 71/2 Inches In length. Whenthey arrive inshore they masstogether in several locationsprincipally in the Gulf Islands,Here they wait through thewinter while reproductivecells ripen.
After spawning they returnto offshore, West Coast feed-ing grounds. A herring maymigrate annually for as manyas 12 years and grow up to 12inches but few five past theirsixth year. Spawning seemsto cause about some mortalityTotal natural mortality of ad-ults averages 50% per year.
HOMESTEADERSIt was mentioned that not
all of the first year fish leaveGeorgia Strait in the Autumnmigration. Some remain inthe Strait and become resid-ents or "homesteaders". Thus,comparatively small numbersof second year, third year,and adult herring can alwaysbe found in Georgia Strait.
Basic information concern-ing "homesteaders" is lacking,For instance, research has yetto establish how many home-steaders Georgia Strait sup-ports or how much mixing oc-curs between homestead andmigratory groups. Herringmanagers are interested inhomesteaders because year-round food and bait fisheriesdraw mostly upon them ratherthan upon the more numerousmigratory herring.
POPULATIONSBesides dividing into resid-
ent and migratory groups,Georgia Strait herring are be-lieved to split into northernand southern spawning popula-tions. The southern popula-tion is the larger. It is knownas the Lower East Coast ofVancouver Island populationor "I,. E. C. of V. I. * General-ly speaking, the Island coastbetween Victoria and Nan-oose. The L. E. C. populationis one of the most importantherring stocks in the norm-eastern Pacific. First yearfish from this population arebelieved to migrate outthrough Juan de Fuca Strait tofeed somewhere off Cape Flat-tery.
The northern group is knownas the Middle East Coast ofVancouver Island population.One route follows Juan deFuca Strait, and the other,Johnstone Strait. The M.E.C.population seems to lose ahigh percentage of its memb-ers (45%) by emigration toother populations.
Managers now speculatethat there may be an area ofoverlap between the twoGeorgia Strait populations. Ithas been observed that whenPender Harbour (M. E. C.)spawning increases the Nan-oose area (L. E. C.) spawningdecreases, and vice versa.Only further research will con-tribute to an adequate under-standing of the distribution ofthe two populations. Manage-ment will be easier when moreis known.

info/HealthDr. BobYoungThis is the introductory
column in a series devoted tohealth topics of interest toBritish Columbians.
The fact that the writer is apractising physician in thisprovince should allow a morepersonal and topical approachto the exploration of mattersof health than the nationallysyndicated health columns canprovide.
While some columns willconsider individual diseases,sometimes la response toreaders' questions,, others willstress methods of maintaininggood health. Obviously noattempt can be made to diag-nose or treat individual casesthrough a newspaper column.Questions regarding diseases,symptoms, and indeed, anyhealth topic will be welcomed,as will comment and criticismof the articles themselves.Only in this way can the seriesbe kept topical and, hopefully,interesting.
The "doctor-patient relationship" and the personal, ethicaland legal implications of thisrelationship will be explored.It is my hope that some des-criptions of the work-a-daylife of a doctor, and his res-
ponsibilities in providing indi-vidual and community healthcare, will be of interest.
"Consumerism," the rightof the buyer to have somecontrol of the quality of thegoods and services he or sheconsumes (and pays for), isentering many fields, includingmedicine. Although the qual-ity and availability of healthcare in this province rankswith the best, there are someweak areas and some dissatis-fied patients. Readers areinvited to use this column toair their gripes, suggest alter-nate ways of doing things, andgenerally sound off I You maybe assured that I will forwardsuch letters to the appropriatecommittee or person.

It was not his first visit tothe island. He came here to
f o to work several years ago.former neighbour in Rich-
mond, Doug Truscott calledin to renew old acquaintancesand explained he was about tobuild a home on the island.The Richmond plumber insist-ed on undertaking the plumb-ing. That was the first step. .
After a few visits to the isl-and, Terry decided he likedit and after a year of debate,-he made the plunge, abandon-ed his job, sold out and camehome.
So far he has no regrets, saysthe new island businessman.
On Friday it proved he had zgood many friends.
That's another part of theHockley system. When hecame to Salt Spring Island, heknew a handful of people. Allhis social ties were gone; leftbehind him in Richmond.
He is a member of the SaltSpring Lions Club and he hasjoined a bridge group on theisland. By now a lot morepeople know Terry and JanetHockley, simply because theyfigured on joining in witli theisland activities.
Hockley is a former navyman. He served a stint in theRoyal Canadian Navy and re-turned to civilian life 10 yearsago. In the navy he was asignalman, but he didn't lookto electronics when he cameout. He looked to plumbing.In British Columbia he foundno immediate opening and heforgot about it. He had to dosomething and quickly so hewent off to the Tar Sands.
When the majority of Can-adians speak of the AthabaskaTar Sands, they are referringto a national phenomenonw hich has no real meaning.When Terry Hockley thinksabout it, he can identify thesands and the terrain and asubstantial part ofthe dirt inthe ground, because he moveca lot of it. He was driving atruck.
Local town from the TarSands was Edmonton, GO hewas to be found in the Albertacapital when he got awayfrom the construction of theprocessing plant, now famili-ar to television viewers.
In Edmonton he learned ofan apprenticeship course inplumbing. So he took it.
As a plumber he movedaround, eventually comingback to British Columbia.When he left Vancouver hewas plumbing superintendentfor a large company.

We were concerned that,although the lakes are vitalto the island, relatively littlephysical, chemical ana biol-ogical information was avail-able about them.

During our investigationwe received information fromthe Water InvestigationsBranch, the Fish and WildlifeBranch, the Greater VictoriaMetropolitan Board of Health,two Water Districts, the Uni-versity of British Columbia,the University of Victoria, andthe University of Wisconsin.
Water Quality parametersincluded dissolved oxygen,hardness, alkalinity, pH,Secchi disk transparency, spe-cific conductivity, temperat-ure, chlorides, nitrites, coli-form bacteria counts, etc.Two main areas of concern be-came very evidentPATHOGENIC ORGANISMS
The water in most lakes onSalt Spring must be disinfect-ed to be safe for human con-sumption.
It has been suggested that ifall septic tanks and fields inthe watershed areas werebrought up to Health Depart-ment standards our problemswould be solved, but this isnot so.
Individually, these septictanks may meet the appropri-ate standards, but collective-ly they will still contribute tome problem. Soil conditionsand topography in many areasof the watersheds make septicdisposal difficult - the soil isshallow, and becomes saturat-ed during the winter.
Apart from septic tanks, surface run-off from a populatedarea can be quite high in nu-trients and coliform bacteria.This is due to faeces and man-ure from dogs, cats and farmanimals, as well as generalwastes from human activities.As more trees are cleared androads built, surface run-offincreases, further impairingseptic tank operation andwashing surface material intothe lakes.
Cultural eutrophication isthe natural eutrophication pro-cess, as influenced by man.It poses a distinct threat towater quality in the islandlakes. Man s activities in thewatershed areas contribute to •the problem by adding nutri-ents to lakes from septictanks, fertilizers, manure,and other decaying wastes.
There is considerable evid-ence that our lakes are bord-ering on the eutrophic state,including dissolved oxygenlevels, Secchi disk measure-ments, and the amounts andspecies of algae growth. Weidentified over 40 species ofdiatoms, and green and blue-green algae.
Asterionella Formosa, adominant diatom in our lakes,can cause taste and odourproblems. Small amountsgive an earthy odour, and in-creasing amounts impart a ger-anium odour followed by afishy odour.
Blue-green algae such asAnabaena Flosaquae (domin-ant at times in St. Mary'sLake) produce a faintly gras-sy odour, and with larger
numbers, the odour becomespungent like nasturtiums, fol-lowed by a vile pig-pen odour
During the course of our In-vestigation we looked at al-ternative ways to help main-tain water quality. Alternat-ives to the septic tank, suchas aerobic treatment plants,actually pass considerablymore nutrients out with theeffluent. Sewer systems areso expensive that they causedense development, andtherefore add to surface run-off problems.
Surface run-off, for exam-ple, from a residential-lightcommercial area, with asewer system, has been meas-ured at 1.0 mg per litre in-organic nitrogen, and totalphosphate averaging 0.36 mgper litre. 90"7o of total coli-form counts in this run-off exceeded 2,900 per 100 ml. and50<fc exceeded 58, 000,per100 ml. (The ideal lor drink-ing water is zero.)
we have no assurance thatland might be bought backby the government in orderto protect our water supplies,
Spec andmoredetails
but if this were possible, hav-ing the larger 10-acre sizewould be of help.
All this leads us to the con-clusion that the larger 10-acrelot size is the best we can doat this time. We do not re-
§ard it as the whole solution,ut rather as an important
step in the right direction. Itdoes not impose undue hard-ship on landowners in thewatershed area, for people inthe upland areas of SaltSpring and the AgriculturalLand Reserve are being askedto make similar sacrifices for

>HED CONCERNthe good of tiie community,and for future generations.
The two government de-partments most concernedwith water quality supportour proposal. Dr. R. J. Buch-anan, Senior Biologist, WaterInvestigations Branch, Dept.of Lands, Forests and WaterResources, stated:
"We agree that continua-tion of a 10-acre minimum onlot sizes within the drainage
""basins of the lakes would be
prudent. Relaxation of thisspecification should be con-tingent on establishment ofreal knowledge that smallerlots are tolerable."
L. E. Benham, Director,Division of Public Health,Capital Regional District; saidthat Health Services supportsSPEC'S suggestion of a ten-acre freeze in the watershedareas.

Salt Spring Orange, 0;Barbery Banjo, 7.
The Orange, making theirfirst exhibition appearance inVictoria, were rather graci-ous visitors in allowing theBarbery Banjo to strum theirway to victory.
The Orange started thegame off on the wrong foot,as they only had 11 players,five first string players beingmissing and, to top it off, adog decided to use Jay Bourd-in as a tree.
Even so, the play in thefirst half was very even, withthe Banjo capitalizing onthree opportunities and FinnRonne and Marty Legg justmissing for the Orange. In thesecond half the team saggedbadly and their opponentspopped home four more goals,with Mark Hughes having theonly close opportunity for theOrange.
In assessing the performanceof the team several pointsmust be noted. The Banjoare the second best team inVictoria and hence are notpush-overs, by any means.Also, with three forwards, ahalf-back and a fullback miss-ing from the lineup, the Or-ange lacked the depth andstamina to stay with their op-ponents. Considering this,the boys gave it a good tryand the experience of goodcompetition was well worth-while.
The Orange utilized a 4-2-4 system and the two linkmen, Marty Legg and DavidWoodley had strong perform-ances, constantly pickingtheir way through the Banjo'sdefence. Neil Anderson alsohad another solid game, withGary Hartwig and Alex Mc-Manus playing strong support-ing roles.
The rematch with the Banjoshould be in two weeks onSalt Spring and a completeline-up should give a muchcloser result. I wish to ex-tend thanks to Mr. Andersonfor driving the boys over toSidney and make mention ofthe clean play and good offi-ciating that was in evidencein the game, making it anenjoyable day for one andall, winners and losers.

You don't have to ask whohe is. Not everybody metDenny Ashby when he wasover on the islands and noteverybody wanted to. Hewas the Provincial Judge inGanges Court for several years.I never appeared before Dennyalthough I often appeared incourt when someone wasappearing before him.
Judge Denzil GreenstedAshby took over in Gangeswhen the late Moose Peilerrelinquished his duties. Hehad frequently held court here.,when Moose was away or forsome reason relinquished hisjudicial chair in a specificcase.
Last week Denny Ashbydoffed his gown for the last
time and retired at the age iof 72. The former gudge wasa retired Mountie. He cameout of the police force 20 yearago and acquired a very att-ractive home in Sidney, wherehe farms the five acres, sur-rounded by real estate.
Denny was born in Kent,in England and lived thereuntil he sailed to Canada in1926 to join the RCMP. Hestill has the soft brogue of hisnative country. He left thefarm to live in a farmingcountry, but he didn't comehere to farm until he retiredafter 30 years in the police.He held the rank of Staff-Sgt.when he finished his service.
For 17 years he has servedas magistrate and judge. Theoffice was known as magist-rate until recent years when

WHAT'S SO DIFFERENT ?GUEST SPEAKER
BY FRANK RICHARDS
He came into the office andasked what was so differentabout an island. So I saidthere's nothing so different,really, it's just that living onan island you get insulatedfrom the rush and the patternoutside. A nd he said wellwhy are island people differ-ent, I mean what maker themdifferent? So I said they'renot different^ they're the samepeople, but they live with awall of water all round sothey have to stand with theirh»a<s to the wall before they
ee anybody to talk to.And he said why are islanderscantankerous and I said theyaren't. He said everyone willtell you islanders are difficultand I said did he mean thatliving on an island made peop-le different or is it that differ-ent people come to live on an
island? So he asked what is itreally like, living on an isl-and. I said try it and that'sabout the only way you canfind out. He said it seemed tchim that people living on anisland g^et more worked upover things that don't matterand less worked up over thethings that do. Like things onthe island that affect nobodyelse are the things islandpeople talk about all the timeand all the muggings and mur-ders and mayhem of the citiesfo by without anybody looking
nd I said they don't reallymatter very much and he look-ed at me and said they mattera lot more than a bit of islandplanning, that they are thetilings of life and death. So Isaid people come to islandsbecause they want to get awayfrom those things and he look-ed at me as if I had just step-ped on a rabbit. Why are isl-
and people so argumentativehe wanted to know and I figur-ed it sounded just like mywife but I didn't say so. Theyaren't, I explained patiently.So he said there's sure somedifference between the peoplein Vancouver and the peopleon the islands and I said notreally there's just more ofthem and he said it was theway I said it and that he wasgoing back to the city wherepeople don't blow their topsover nothing. So I told him toget back to the city where hecame from and don't comeback telling us how we shouldlive and how we should actand that's the trouble with allthese visitors coming here to
' show us what we need and tell-ing us that islanders are can-tankerous people and we don'twant all these people fromthe mainland over here tellingus anything. And he went.
