by Hamlyn in collaboration with
the society, the Bird of Paradise
flower is described as a
Streliziaeae, including three
genera and seven species.
This is a strange, rather
dramatic family of monocotyledonous
perennial herbs closely
related to the banana family, or
musaceae, reports the book on
flowers.
The family of plants, although
not the Bird of Paradise
flower, reach a^height of 50 feet
and more. This is known as the
traveller's tree.
The Sterilitzia Reginae
comes from South Africa where
it is known as the Crane Flower.
It is known elsewhere as the Bird
of Paradise Flower because "the
inflorescence looks like a bird's
head." It is the floral emblem of
Los Angeles.
Citing the British authority
were Miss E.L. Turner and Miss
V.L. Stoakley, of Howell Lane,
who came armed with the colorful
volume.

SATURNA SCENE
BY KUKLOS
During Spring Break Week
for the school children, many
took advantage of the opportunity
to come over to Saturna.
Homes in the valley were especially
busy Marie McMahon had
daughter-m-law Barbara and
grandsons, John, Todd and Scott
visiting, and Myrtle and Steve
Maskow had their daughter,
Lorraine, with sons Darryl and
Jamie.
The Maskow's neighbours,
Harold, Irene and Barbara Menzies
also were over to their home
on island. Polly and Graham
Howarth welcomed Mrs. Leah
Howarth, Graham's mother.
At the other end of the valley
were Joe and Jean Van Hessen,
Don Piper with K.J. and
Tammy, Dale and Roy Mac-
Donald with son Jeffrey, and
staying with Marg and Al Kerr
were Marg's sister Betty Ziobron
and son Steven from Edmonton.
Evelyn and Jack Saunders
played host to daughter Barbara
Holmes, with her children Karen
Angela and Mathew, and Alec
and Peggy Mitchell were happy
to see their daughter and grandchildren
Ewen, Fiola and Alasdair.
In Boot Cove, it's good to see
Tracy Pillsbury home from hospital
and her daughter, Lindie
Buchanan, of Courtenay, with
her for company. Jim Carney
has also been over to his Boot
Cove residence, while others in
the Carney family are in Hawaii
for a while (leaving McRae to be
cared for by Jeannie Morgan,
and company for Sprig).
SUCCESSION OF GUESTS
At Boot Cove Lodge, Debbie
and Mike Graham and family
have been busy caring for a
succession of guests, from the
lighthouse, hydro and highways
crews.
Taimi Hindmarch and Mike
Hayes were in Vancouver as
delegates to the British Columbia
Teachers' Federation annual
general meeting. Later in the
week, Taimi and husband Bob
were off to a special 100th
birthday party and reunion with
old friends from the Nanaimo
area.
Barry Adams and Heather
Coulhart from Vancouver,
friends of Reg and Juanita
Hutton-Potts, were over at their
Cliffside property, and Stacey
Bavis was on island visiting with
her parents, Ann and Chuck
Bavis.
The Fire Department's application
for a grant under the
federal Canada Works program
has been turned down. Disappointed,
but not discouraged,
we are now planning to have
another application in for the
next batch-of grants in August.
Work is really picking up on
the school grounds. The scope of
the project has been expanded to
ensure the saving of the only
playing fields on island. Plans
now call for a longer taper to the
raised portion of the field, as
well as top soil and seeding
when the project is completed.
The dance put on by the
Parents Group on Saturday evening
was very successful. The
Hall was decorated with an
Easter motif, the fire burned
brightly all night, and there was
lots of dancing and socializing.
At midnight, platters of delicious
homemade cabbage rolls,
salad and buns wee set out.
During the evening the winner
of the special raffle was Frank
Neumann, and the draw for the
teddy bear was also made. The
lucky winner was Irene Lawson.
Irene's granddaughter, Theresa,
with her parents, Debbie and
Archie Sanderson from Victoria,
arrived on the late boat, so Irene
wasn't in possession of the teddy

JUVENILE SOCCER
Duncan team feels Hornets sting
SALT SPRING HORNETS, 2;
DUNCAN, 1.
The Hornets, playing their
first game together as a team,
i stung their opponents with a
hard-fought 2-1 decision over
Duncan. The team was comprised
of ten, nine and eight year
olds and was formed last week
under their coach Dick Gilpin.
this makes their victory even
more surprising and is a compliment
to the players who
worked very hard to gain the
win.

Sunday morning, there was a
community workbee sponsored
by the Lions Club at the school to
put up the fence around the
tennis courts. Workers included
Bill Lawson, Tom Davidson,
John Davidson, Andy Siemens,
Don Davidson, Cameron Elliott,
Dave Crooks, and Mike Hayes.
PLAY SCHOOL
The play school, under the
guidance of the LIP workers,
Susan Ryce, Linda Cote, and Stu
Cooper, got under way at the
Hall on Wednesday morning,
and will be regularly held for the
next few months on Wednesday
and Friday mornings for the
pre-schoolers on Saturna. It will
be a good opportunity for the
really little ones, who all live a
distance from each other, to get
together.
The Parents Group, still raising
funds for the transportation
of Saturna children to Mayne
Island school, is selling colourful
posters at $2.00 each. A few of
the first shipment are still left,
and orders can be taken for
another shipment. A catalogue
illustrating a wide variety of the
posters is available. To view,

recently, visiting friends and

Dorothy and Gordon Kennedy

after wintering in California.
They took a five-week trip,
motoring in their camper, down
the coast of the Baja.
Connie and Bruce Hardy
enjoyed an 11-day cruise off the

Chairman of the Salt Spring
Community Planning Association,
Mike Clement, expressed
regret that there were not sufficient

proposed new committees.
"I find it very dead," he told

to get "boring".
"You're quoting Driftwood,"
charged Frank Richards.

furiously as the Hornets buzzed
around the Duncan net peppering
shot after shot at their
goalie. Finally, Allan Stepaniuk
stole the ball away from a
defender and drove a 15-yarder
home for a 1-0 lead. They
continued to apply strong pressure
and were rewarded when
Michael Blomley finished off a
fine centring pass from Tony
Legg for a 2-0 lead.
It appeared that the Hornets
were heading for a rout, but
Duncan quickly struck back just
before the half and narrowed the
lead to one goal.
TIRED BADLY
In the second half the Hornets
tired badly and their play
became sloppy and unorganized.
The Duncan team was able to
apply tremendous pressure in
the Salt Sring end but a solid
Hornets defence anchored by
centre half Graham Lee kept a
clamp on the Duncan Marksman.
With the final whistle the
Hornets had hung on to their
narrow win and the boys could
take a well-earned rest and enjoy
the free hot dogs, pop and ice
cream supplied by the Duncan
Association. Their play had so
impressed the Duncan executive
that the boys have been invited
to the Duncan Soccer Tournament
on Saturday, April 16 and
Sunday, April 17.
The boys played exceedingly
well for the first showing as a
team.
The team was: goal: T.
Moulton, defence: G. Lee, T.
Legg, B. Graham, K. Irwin, M.
Brown, D. Cauldwell, forwards:
M. Blomley, B. Calkins, R.

ROAM AT HOME
Poke your nose into Long Nose at Graham Is
Cut Graham Island from a
Queen Charlotte Islands' map.
Torn the island clockwise halfcircle.
The result: an unusual
land form resembling the
silhouette of a contorted face
with a long, pointed nose.
The nose's tip is Rose Point.-
The Haidas, however, more
aptly called it "Naikoon" or
"Long Nose".
Today, this "nose", some
272 square miles of recreational
wilderness, is Naikoon Provincial
Park.
This park, on the Charlottes'
northeast corner, has the islands'
greatest recreational potential
and is near most of their
4,500 residents.
DOMINANT NATURE
Nature dominates here. The
northern half is the Argonaut
Plain, formed by alluvial deposits
at the end of the last ice age
some 10,000 years ago. It is
dotted with small lakes, meandering
streams, and flat-topped
hills believed to be remnants of
TRAVEL
volcanic peaks.
The southern half has better
drainage and fewer muskeg
areas. Here lies Mayer Lake, the
largest and most accessible lake
in the region.
The Tlell Estuary and its
vicinity are extremely attractive
with large sand dunes, a gentlyflowing
tidal river, an exposed
sea coast with extensive sand
and gravel beaches, and large,
level upland areas.
Between Tlell and Rose Point
stretch beaches for over 40
miles. They are faced by sand
bluffs 15 to 200 feet high which
are continually receding under
fierce winter gales' attack.
HIKE OR FISH
You may camp at the river
mouths or fish along the quiet
streams. Those with extra time
and enthusiasm may hike to
Spence, Clearwater or Lumme
lakes.
Mclntyre Bay, on the northern
coast, has 20 miles of sand
beaches lined by parallel, tree-

covered dunes.
Between Sangan River and
Rose Point there is an attractive
mature spruce forest and a
seashore with beaches nearly
1,000 feet wide that are the
habitat of the rare razor clam.
The three-mile Rose Spit at
the Rose Point's tip where the
Hecate Strait and Dixon Entrance
meet, is a fine shoreline
erosion example. It is also a
hazard to mariners and the
location of many wrecks.
ERODED VOLCANIC PLUG
The 357-foot Tow Hill, an
eroded volcanic plug, is an
outstanding landmark and the
subject of a charming Haida
legend.
The islands are a major
stopover on the Pacific Flyway
for a considerable variety of
migrating birds. Sea birds are
most numerous because of the
plentiful food supply in the
offshore waters.
There are, however, many
land species as well. Along the
60-mile seashore there are cormorants,
murres, pigeon
guillemots, a variety of gulls,
oyster catchers, crows and ravens
as well as bald eagles. The
latter are not yet a rarity in the
Charlottes.
The numerous lakes are a
favourite nesting place for ducks
and geese. They are also refuge
places for more pelagic species
during sea storms.
GOOD FISHING
The rivers and some lakes
provide good trout and steelhead
fishing. The Tlell is famous for
its autumn steelhead run while
Mayer Lake has a good reputation
for trout fishing.

life for the islands' mammals
and they have thus evolved
somewhat differently from similar
mainland species.
There are the endemic species
such as black bear, otter,
marten, ermine, deer mice and
shrews.
The park's remote areas, it is
hoped, will remain an almost
completely undisturbed habitat
for these animals.
Other animals, such as the
Roosevelt elk, beaver, raccoons
and coast blacktail deer, have
been introduced to the Charlottes.
These mammals, without
their natural predator the cougar,
have increased in numbers
to the point where they have
almost become a nuisance.
MISTY ISLANDS
The frequent overcast skies
over the Charlottes is the reason
why they have become known as
the "Misty Islands". However,
while the annual precipitation
along the western coastline is
nearly 200 inches, the average
figure for the park region is only
55 inches.
The islanders have a saying:
"If you don't like the weather,
wait five minutes, it'll change."
Sometimes it does change from
sun to rain and back again that
fast.
There is much to see and
enjoy in the Charlottes and
Naikoon Provincial Park is a
good beginning.

April is the month of bowling
wind-up. Not only are parties
being planned, trophies ordered,
etc., but teams are getting
ready to roll-off against one
another. We would appreciate
all secretaries informing us of
your intended roll-off dates.
Also, coming up, after each
league has had their roll-offs to
determine their league champs,
is the Tournament of League
Champs. The semi-finals will be
held here to determine the top
team of the year from Leisure
Lanes. Then that team goes on
to the zone finals and, if successful,
on to the provincial finals
and some big money.
BOWLERS OF THE MONTH
Top bowlers for the month of
March were Deanna Marleau
and Stan Sage. Congratulations!
BOWLERS OF THE WEEK
Last week's top lady was Lois

I have treated many ankle
sprains in my time, but one
sustained recently by an old
friend was unusual. The patient
is a teacher, and after spending
a solid three hours at his desk
marking papers he pushed his
chair back, stood up, and sprained
his ankle.
His leg had 'gone to sleep',
and when he stood up his ankle
buckled under him. The resulting
sprain took a month in a cast
to fix.
Injuries to the ankle joint are
exceedingly common. Fortunately
the majority of them are
minor and the pain, swelling,

UNDERTREATMENT IS

An ankle sprain involves
stretching, tearing, or rupturing
of the ligaments around the
joint. The amount of damage
done has a great bearing on the
correct treatment, and undertreatment
of ankle-joint injuries
is common.
X-rays are sometimes the
culprit. When no fracture is

Food for thought to all parents
and potential players for
next year: All children should be
wearing face masks during
games and practices.
The executive was advised
by concerned parents that they
would like the wearing of face
masks to be mandatory.
Your executive said that the
matter would be looked into and
presented to players and parents
for approval at the beginning of
the next season.

After a good flight to Fiji,
where we enjoyed two days of
extreme heat, we left on Air
N.Z. and arrived in Auckland,
midnight on February 20.
Son Jim met us and the
following day we enjoyed the
long and scenic drive of 176
miles to his home on the famous
Lake Taupo.
The driving speed is 50 miles
an hour and seat belts are
mandatory.
There is a terrific number of
road accidents because people
do not always observe the rules.
One of the highlights of our
trip was the Queen's visit to New
Zealand, which was fully covered
by T.V.
The Queen's plane landed at
Taupo airport one day when
hundreds of school children and
residents went to see how beautiful
the Queen is in person.
My daughter-in-law, Marina,
was one of the spectators the
Queen spoke to and it was quite
a thrill.
During the Royal tour of New
Zealand the Queen went north
by plane while a party of her
retinue were to go by bus and
stop in a small town named
Wellsford for tea.
TEA PARTY
This had all, been pre-arranged,
but the people in the
tea-room refused any services
and supplied paper cups for tea
or coffee. The bus driver was
very embarrassed, so now all
bus drivers boycott the town, as
they considered the incident an
insult to the Queen.
We booked a five-day tour
north of Auckland which took us
to Cape Reinga the northern tip
of New Zealand where the
Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea
meet.
On this trip we visited the
site of the Earth Station or
satellite which receives all T.V.
programs from overseas. Our
motel for the trip was the White
Heron Lodge in Piahia in the Bay
of Islands.
We went out on the small
fast boats that provide visitors
with the thrill of going out into
the Pacific where the big game
fish are caught.
Dozens of porpoises were
playing all around the boat and
kept camera buffs busy. This
tour included many museums
and many historical buildings
and places of interest.
43 MILES ON 90 MILE BEACH
On our way back from the
Cape the bus drove slowly down
a small river bed and onto
90-mile beach, where we travelled
for 43 miles. This can only be

OH, THAT LOVELY PHONE!
And we just can *t wait
BY TONY RICHARDS
I became a full-fledged subscriber
to the services offered by
the BC Telephone Company last
week. It happened that I moved
into a house that already had a
telephone in it. The previous
tenant had notified the telephone
company that he was
vacating the house and the
telephone should be disconnected.
So I contacted BC Tel in
Victoria, to ask that the phone be
left connected in order that I
might use it.
"What is your name and
address, please?" asked the
lady with an almost seductive
tone, "and the name of your
employer and his address?"
PAST TO FUTURE
I gave her the answers to
those questions as well as a
number of others that dealt with
my past, present and future life.
Her next question was, had I
had"telephone service in B.C. at
any previous time.
No, I answered.
Had I had telephone service
in Canada before, she asked.
No, I answered again, I had
not.
"Are you an American?"
Again my reply was in the
negative.
"You mean you've never had
telephone service in your name
before?"
asked the very startled employee
of BC Tel.
"No, I have not," I said.
WHERE IS THAT?
Her next question was where
had I been living. I gave her the
name of an island on BC's coast.
She began to ask me where it
was, thought better of it, and
done when the tide is out.
We had a twenty-minute stop
in Kiataia where the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. H. Komm of Tripp
Road lives, but there was not
enough time to make contact.
New Zealand is very busy
with tourists and hotel and
motels are full, especially on a
week-end. We eventually got a
room in the Great Northern
Hotel which sounded like home
for $23 bed and breakfast. Meals
were delicious.
Prices are higher now, although
milk is still 9c a pint and
butter, 51c lb.; evaporated milk,
37c a tin and Eagle brand is 47c
but one day it was on sale for 2
tins for $1.
A side of lamb can be bought
for the price of a leg here. Car
prices are extremely high and
car gas SI.23 a gallon.
I was told there are . more
pleasure boats of all descriptions
per capita than anywhere else in
the world.
The homes and gardens were
all beautiful.
We left Auckland in bright
sunshine on March 28 at 10.30
am and arrived in Vancouver,
March 28, in sunshine at 9.30
am.
The view from the plane was
like a fairyland as we crossed
Vancouver Island and coastal
mountains with not a cloud to
spoil their beauty.
I must say it's always nice to
come home!
decided not to bother with any
further questions.
She had to call Salt Spring
Island to find out whether the
phone in my new house was red,
yellow or blue, and would I hold
on while she did? Okay, I said,
and waited a good three minutes
for her to obtain this information.
Which isn't a long ti
when you consider she was
calling Salt Spring Island all the
way from Victoria.
When she was done she
came back to me, told me the
phone was black and asked if I
desired any change. Blue being
my favourite colour, I lied to her
and said no, black was fine, and
did she desire any further information?
No, she replied, she had
all she needed. My name would
appear in the next issue of the
phone book and I would be
notified within a few days of my
new number.
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Within a few days the phone
rang. Quite an event when
you've never had a phone before.
My wife picked up the
receiver and rather breathlessly
held it to her ear.
"Hello," said a voice similar
to that of a radio announcer,
"here is your number."
My wife was almost convinced
she had won a prize in some
contest, until the man explained
he was from the phone company
and how did she like her new
number?
"It's just fine," she answe
ed, and that was it.
We now spend our evenings
sitting beside the telephone,
waiting expectantly for it to ring.
It appears that we didn't really
need one, anyway.

drew to a close. We hope all

that they remember to thank
those people who made the
season a success, the people
who worked so diligently in the
executive of the Soccer Association,
the coaches, managers,
referees and the organizers of
the banquet, for without these
people the rewards the Association
has attained over the past
two seasons would not have
been reached.
