DIFFICULT TASK LIES AHEAD
Provincial government, if it seeks to convince
British Columbian islanders of the sincerity of its
approach to pollution control, is facing a severe
test.
There is a strong and general feeling among islanders and nowhere more so at present than on Salt
Spring Island, that the government will enforce its
regulations regarding contamination of fresh and salt
water like a patchwork quilt.
Prevalent fear sees special privileges to some and
not to others. This fear brings visions of contamination by special privilege, with permits issued indiscriminately where the government finds a preference.
How the government can convince the people of
its integrity is a maj or problem. It is also a reflection
on the public morality that any government should be
required or expected to do so.

ODE (OR OWED) TO A BLISTER
(Dedicated to the Lions)
In spite of all the wretched strif
And misery of this sad life,
A fact which cannot be denied
M a n k i n d seems bent on suicide
Yet ten score marched on Saturday
Four hundred pursued their way
From pond'rous plodding outsize
12's
To pattering of tiny elves;
(Though in a barrow was
revealed
One so blame lazy he was
wheeled! )
'File solo hiker just like me
And then a whole darn family
With baby carried(why not
crawl?)
A batch of clowns, a giant ball:
The clergy with the laity
All tramped along right merrily
The Lions really were inspired
We all were happy - (also tired)
So here's a t r u m p that can't be

ed sewage and industrial wastes
into the Fraser River, said the
speaker.
Fraser River discharges straight
into the islands. Mayne Island
was protected against the danger
of pollution by seepage from a
tile drain, but the raw sewage
from another community was
considered of no consequence.
The speaker was echoing the
most common fear expressed
among the islands. Pollution by
privilege is the greatest threat
to island waters, majority of islanders feel. The government
may at any time extend to any
applicant the privilege of discharging any matter into the sea
without appeal.
^fc
The mainland surveyor spoKe
of the specific details of pollution.
The sewage is initially treated
in settling tanks. All solids and
floatable materials are removed.
Resultant discharge is a liquid,
with only small particles of solid
matter. The discharge is filled
with bacteria. Purpose of treatment is to destroy the bacteria,
he explained. First requirement
for this purpose is oxygen.
The maximum bacteriological
content of water accepted as
tolerable to humans is measured
as 25,000 "bugs" per millilitre,
explained Mr. Topliss. The
standard established by the Greater Victoria Metropolitan Board
of Health is 1,000 per millilitre.
Such a margin leaves a wide
measure of safety for the public,
he suggested.
The measurement is taken
from water on the beaches in the
vicinity of the installation, he
continued. If the count exceeds
the figure demanded, then fur- ther treatment .will be demanded
W . W . Hunt-So wrey recalled
the incident in Chatham in England when several swimmers in
the military pool went down with
typhoid fever, believed to have
been caused by polluted waters.
It was vague in his mind and he
could not specify the circumstances, he explained.
He also considered the discharge of nitrites and the need
for oxygen to convert to nitrates.
He recalled that nitrites require
exposure to running water for 10
minutes to convert to nitrates.
The bacteria require oxygen
from the sea and the nitrites require oxygen from the sea.
Would there be enough to go around, he wondered.
Why was it necessary to establish a discharge into the sea,
asked a member. Did the promoters propose marine disposal
or did the government department require it of them?
The proposal was made by
the developers, replied Mr. TopLiss. It would not be feasible to
dispose of the effluent within
the individual lot.
Subdivisions should be so restricted that the lots are never
smaller than that size required
to abosorb its own discharges,
suggested the ratepayer. Condition of the ground at Village
Point and Georgeson Shoals
would prohibit ground absoa^^
tion, explained Mr. Topliss.^^
A Saanich authority had statec
in a Vancouver newspaper that
the ideal sewage disposal was
by tile drain, the meeting was
told by another member of
Mira.
And he nearly got fired for his
views, added Mr. Topliss.
This was merely another example of uncertain thinking,
averred the ratepayer.
John Rainsford was chairman
of the meeting and had explained that Mr. Topliss had been
invited to attend and outline his
plans in order to ensure that
this development was not presented at the last minute without
prior warning as was protested
at Pender Island.

IT WAS WEATHER
THAT CHANGED
HARVEY CAMPBELL DIES AT GALIANO HOME
HOME ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON
It was not the medical officer
who changed a sign on a local
beach. It was the weather.
Local photographer showed a
picture last week of a sign warning against bathing, camping
and other activities. The sign
had been changed, over the signature of the medical officer of
health.
This week an islander called
in to state that he had erected
the sign on the direction of the
medical officer. There had been
a number of people camping on
the beach, where facilities for
sanitation do not exist.
The weather had then washed
off the markings on the sign,
increasing its scope.
The Easter holiday was marred
'.'oi many Galiano residents when
they learned on Saturday afternoon
of the death of Harvey Playfair
Campbell, of Gulf Drive. He was
found about noon in his garage
by the M. & M. Ranch girls, and
medical opinion was that death
was due to a heart attack and his
passing was instantaneous.
Like many others, Harvey and
Winnie Campbell had commuted
to the island for many years, and
in the spring of 1963 bought their
one way ticket and settled down tc
comfortable retirement here. A
quiet man and a good neighbour,
I larvey was well liked by all who
knew him, and he served well on
the executive committee of the
