Simultaneously with the ‘do’
at the Golf Club was a ‘‘Folk
Night’, planned. and staged by.
Mrs, Linda Laughlin at the
Community Hall. It was well
advertised and attracted nearly»
100 mixed adults and young
people and turned ‘out to be a
great success. The entertain-
nent. was unique for the Island
and consisted of folk singing by
Mrs, Kelly McNaught, Miss
Shellay Williams and ‘Jan’ and
‘Kim’, A guitarist and singer
Bruce Whittington -and Joan
Smith, were brought in from
Victoria and their good perform-
ance caught on, and the whole
assembly joined in with their
folk singing. Shelley and Linda
put on a popular dance act
which added to the evening's
entertainment. Chinese food was
served under the direction of
Mrs, McNaught. The whole even-
ing was so popular it will be
repeated at least three times
this summer, The next date is
Saturday, July 26, ;

The following day, Sunday, saw
another milestone in community
entertainment when Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Reecke of Green Water
were hosts to some 16 families
of the North Shore Unitarian
Church, Vancouver, who came
over with their children, the
whole party numbering some 80
guests, The youngsters fanned
out all over the peninsula tip
during the day, engaged in ex-
plorations, study of marine life
and swimming., All gathered on
the beach in late afternaon for a
salmon barbecue from the dex-
tercus hands of Tommy Carolan,

One pleasing part of the after~
noon was a sing-song in the grea

led by Bruce Whittington and
Joan Smith accompanied by the
guitar.

to Galiano, guests .of Mr... and
Mrs, Geolf Spencer, for the day
on. Saturday, They were having
a look at Mrs, Spencer’s bees,
she has ‘several hives, and they
really gave the visitors a treat,:
with a rare sight of no less
than three swarms during the
afternoon. ;

‘Usually, what happens on a
day such as this, the bee-keep-
ers come to a hive,:take it all
apart, and try to determine what,
if anything is wrong, and why
they are not getting along too
well. . They were kept very
busy looking at Mrs, Spencer’s
hives, then they tried to recap-
ture the swarming bees from
the surrounding trees. They gct
two swarms down, and one lot
just by its own, hanging froma
branch,

This big swarm, a swirling
mass. of bees, several thousand
of them, looked like a large
banana, but quite an active one,
It weighed about five pounds, an
impressive sight. :

Visiting among the group of
bee’ enthusiasts were Mr.. and
Mrs. Pete Grube, from Penn=
ssylvania, U.S.A.

GARDEN CAFE OPENS:
Who says ladies know nothing

of building a house, . wiring and"

plumbing?

Two ladies have recently com~
pleted a cafe on. Galiano, . and
have done almost all of the work
themselves. -

Miss Marianne Busch is the
‘proud owner,. helped by “Miss
Alice Alexander. .Both ladies

have been commuting from Van--j.

couver to their home at North

Galiano for the past 10 years,

and during that time, decided

that we. needa coffee shop on

Galiano, , a

Miss Busch purchased a piece
--of -property-.at Sturdies Bay, and
they proceeded to~ build their:

cafe, : .

All of the interior work has
been done by the ladies, work-
ing hard every’ weekend, and
some of their holiday time, They
have done an excellent. job, and
one day last week, opened for
business.

They are still working at some
finishing; but the main part of
the building is now complete.

In charge of the cafe for the
summer is Miss Heather Daff-.
run, who comes fromChilliwack,
She is a most capable cook, and

the menu is quite varied for the.

customers,

Featured not. only for ser-
vice in the cafe, but service to
cars in the parking area, take-
home service, and home delivery
on the weekends! .

We all] wish them success in
this brave new venture, filling a
real need on Galiano Island for a
cafe to go to for a snack or full
meal.
