The editorial, which appears to’ be both timely and : pertinent; follows: - > At? the | beginning of World War Two all three of Canada’s s armed services were in. desperate need of expert help: to operate their signals sections, AS “ has” been. officially acknowledged, the help.came from vee OH ‘the’ -hams’”. --the amateur radio buffs, The value of: that: contribution is almost incalculable.

President of W.A._ YACHT CLUB REPLIES A recent. news story stated that North Saanich Council was seeking legal opinion as to wheth- era permit was required by the Capital City Yacht Club for the movement into its yacht basin of boat-houses owned by its mes bers which had been located in other marinas in the Canoe Cove area, The Directors of the Capital City: Yacht Club, are concerned from remarks made to them, that this report may have raised the impression that the Club has acted without regard to the law- . ful requirements of the District of North Saanich. The Directors wish to make it clear that- the Club has not knowingly violated any Municipal, Provincial or Federal laws which. affect its “operation in Blue Heron Bay. The Club’s general plans, in- cluding the construction of wharves. and floats for both open moorage and covered boat-house were approved by the Provincial - and Federal Governments prior to the incorporation of the Dis- trict. of North Saanich. The decision to move the boat-houses of members. of the Club tnto Blue Heron Bay was made at this time because the facilities to receive them are now available. The Club together with a num- ber of its members, is a tax- payer within the District of North Saanich. As such the Directors of the Club are equally as con- cerned as North Saanich Council that the development of facilities such as those which are provided by the Club, shall prove to be as much an asset to North Saa~ nich as are similar clubs in other areas of Canada and the United States. The Directors of the Capital City Yacht Club expect that this difference of opinion between the Club and Council of North Saa- nich, whatever its outcome, will not impair the continuing discus- sions of mutually acceptable standards which will benefit not only the Capital City Yacht Club but the residents of North Saanich.

INTERNATIONAL GUESTS | WELCOMED BY ROTARY by ROTARIAN Sidney Rotary Club’s regular meeting last week. was held at Rest Haven-Hospital at the invi- --tation of the administrator, T.J. Bradley, and a superbly cooked dinner was served by the staff in the cool restful. atmosphere - of the dining room. Guests. of the evening were students from four continents, “each of them a participant in the Rotary student exchange pro- gram which is doing so much to enhance international: under- standing and co-operation. Speaking for the students, Mark Saunders of Perth, Western Aus- tralia, spoke. with appreciation of the exchange program, and of the new vistas that have been opened to him and his fellow guests by the experiences over- seas. He is a fourth-genera- ‘tion Australian of English extrac- tion, and by -his.. remarks he showed a keen perception of the - problems. facing the youth of to- day in a changing world. Each of the group performed a self-introduction with anima- tion and humor,. Individually and collectively. they followed with a | program of speech;. song~ and dance, and showed a versatility of talent that vastly entertained the members. : _. With Tom Bradley at thepiano, his fellow Australian Mark gave a lively interpretation of Waltz- ing Matilda:- His companion, Os- car Carabelta of Argentina, was quite the showman in Alouetta, in which the members joined with ., gusto, and a couple of charac- teristic songs sung. in Spanish. - Gunnar Hystvoin, from Sweden, . was less. forthcoming, . but: his crisp dry wit.was none the ‘less appreciated. “Three Japanese girls in flowing ‘Mothers Day Tea Is Colorful On Saturday afternoon, May Lith,’ St. Paul’s United Church Hall, decorated with spring llow- ers, was the. setting for‘a de- lightful Mother’s Day tea. Mrs. _J; Bruce was.on hand to receive ~ . tickets at {he door, and Mrs. C, Parnell, in her friendly man- ner, greeted the guests. The large tea table covered with a lace cloth was centred by a three-tiered flawer holder which contained blue iris, ttlips, and wallflowers. The arrange~ ment was flanked by large frosied candies, Pouring tea were Mrs, H, MeDiarmid and Mrs. R, Simp~, - gon. Mrs, . Veitch, president of the AW and convener of the tea, welcomed the guests and an- nounced that Sidney students of Rae. Burns School of Dancing would perform for their enter- tainment. . Failowing the three dance numbers, Miss Hazel Nunn sang two solos, accompanied by Miss J. Alexander at the piano, judging from the applause given bythose present, the program was very much enjoyed. The dainty little centres for the smaller tables were oyster shell containers placed on blue pads representing water. Ineach shell there was to be seen an arrangement of miniature flow- ers. Serviteurs were Mesdames R, Evans, R. Cooper, H. Shieman and W,. Gardner. Those who took charge of refreshments and as- sisted in the kitchen were Mes- dames K, Cruickshank, A, Gard- ner, O. Taylor and T. Bows. Among others who helped to make the tea a success were Mesdames T. Lehman, M. Kir- by, W. Gardner, B. Philbrook, D, Marris, ard S, Roberts, “in costume were in the party, Junko Mulcaguwa, Hiroko Salki and Setsko Kunami. One of the group played..the guitar really well. and. their.songs .were. delight- ful, The highlight. of the enter- tainment was the traditional Cherry’ Blossom dance per- formed so gracefully by two of the girls to an authentic taped accompaniment. © The poetic manipulation of the fans was full of meaning, One other in the party as Ann Mickelson, a Canadian girl.
