BY BEA. BOND
‘On April 26th, 1971 there will

~ be two minesweepers in the “Bay

Class” arriving at Sidney Wharf
at approximately 3:00 p.m. They
will be leaving the following
morning around 9:00 a.m. It is
presently hoped that the
“CHALEUR” and “THUNDER”
will be the ships in port on that
day. The former is commanded
by Lieutenant-Commander J.B.
O'Reilly, while the “THUNDER”
has Lieutenant G. D. Braithwaite
in command.

Of particular interest to Sidney
is the fact.
Lieutenant G. D. Braithwaite is a
former student of North Saanich
Jr. Secondary Schoo! and his
parents still reside in Sidney.
Lieutenant Braithwaite joined
the Royal Canadian Navy in

September 1956 as an officer

cadet. He undertock.two years of
basic’. training in  H.M.C.S.
“VENTURE"’. During this period
he served in HMC ships “ON-

-TARIO” and “STETTLER”’ for
“ his’ cadet” sea training.. After

graduation from “VENTURE”,

that

linesweepers
lo Visit Sidney

Lt.. Braithwaite proceeded - to
Halifax. for more advanced
training in. Gunnery,. Com-
munications, etc. He joined
HMCS “OTTAWA"’ in June, 1959,
where after one year of sea ex-
perience, he was awarded a
watchkeeping certificate. Sub-
sequent to his assignment -to
HMCS “OTTAWA” Lieutenant
Braithwaite served in HMC Ships
“AINTIGONISH,”” ‘‘SIOUX,”’
“CRESCENT,” ‘‘BONAVEN-
TURE,*’’ ‘‘COLUMBIA,’'
“Q'APPELLE,”’: “‘COWICHAN,”’

_and “‘THUNDER"’. He undertook

advanced training in navigation,
communications and radar in
1966. and 1967. He has served as
Commanding. Officer . since
January 1970.

The Sidney and North Saanich
Centennial Committees. are
hopeful that the public will be
permitted to tour these ships and

The Super Mice

Last. week, when. we closed
down ‘‘Four..Winds,’’. the ski
cabin we’d rented for the winter,
a long-forgotten quotation came

‘‘When:man invents a better
mouse- -trap,”’ it went, “Nature
will invent a better mouse.”

This can be the only reasonable
explanation for the casual way in
which the mice took command
from the very moment that. we
moved: in. Each night when we
crept into our sleeping bags it
was the same. Since this was
very seldom later than nine
o'clock, due to the sporofic effect
of mountain air and the
exhaustion of trying to master a
practical joke known. as. The
Wedeln Technique, the mice put

doubt. were being rewarded in
time-and-a-half. cheese.

This was a small fantasy on my
part arising from my conviction
that never before in the animal
world had there been such a
highly. organized group-. of
marauders.’

The man who rented the cabin
to us had warned us that the mice
were in residence, as well as two
squirrels who live in the eaves
and who have the habit when the
moon is high of. re-running . the
Plate across. our

What he didn’t tell us was that

crafty beyond imagination, bold
as Bengal tigers and as light:

“fingered ‘with a trap as any in- |

ternational jewel thief.
-Oh, we had the traps, sure
enough. I have a thumb the size of:

sensitive they are. I proved more

One that we kept up inthe loft,’

just Jaughed. Night after night I

turned down. the: “old: reliable

deep snow. ‘Then’ they. were. off
‘and running. :

In the precious,’ miotioriless
| moment. before the mice ball, 1
came to’ have a vivid’ mental
picture of them in their briefing
quarters,. circuled about © their

ments, for. the night, jaunitly
butting their last cigarets and
then setting off on their missions,
| perhaps with a farewell salute of
“Geronimo! " Me

At that. moment they created a
din. Writers for: centuries have

of mice, But these, being a
mountain breed, gave the effect
of. having strapped — on their
crampons. .

The particularly daring
volunteers with jobs to be done
below had to come down a flight
of stairs on a cantias steep asa
ship's ladder. i marvelled. that
these tiny creatures could create
‘such a curious. clumping effect.
“Wooden-legged mice,”’ my wile
moaned one night, and this in-
deed was: the impression they
gave,

baron mouse night after night,

only by a tendency to increasing
corpulence from tco regular a
diet of. La..Fine Bouche Petit
Camembert which, ex-
perimentation proved, was. his
weakness.

Caught in.the full glare of the
light, having followed his .un-
stealthy progress down the stairs
and past my bed to the trap, this
Jimmy Valentine of the gang
reacted in a most: un-mouse-like
way.

Raising his head from his
delicate work he would first flash
a look of annoyance at the in-
terruption, then, with a fatalistic
shrug and a rubbing of the tiny
paws to warm them for the task,
he would return, unconcerned, to
working out the combination.
We finally gave up and, indeed,
in the last couple of weeks in
“Four Winds’ had. become as
reconciled to‘the patter of little
pink feet as we were to the
dripping icicles or the soft thud
of the snow sliding from the roof.
The fact that I am shopping
around for a better mouse-trap
for next season is really just to
offer them a new challenge after
a long, boring summer.

glad to hear of. people coming or
going from far-away places, and
will continue to try to record the
goings-on at our many. club
meetings.

With our friend Ear! Young still
under the weather, we see that
the B.C. Ferries have. another
smiling face to greet passengers
at Sturdies Bay. Everett Whyte is
the third man in the smart blue
uniform. we are pleased to see
Bob Clarke back on the job, and
looking well, too. Dr. G.H. Chan,
with his son, Dr.. Eugene Chan,
and wife and children, all came
over from Vancouver to spend a
few. precious days at their
property at Phillimore Point.

Tom Carolan went to Williams
Lake for: the holidays to attend
the wedding of a niece, and he
had the pleasant duty of giving
her away in the ceremony, and
staying on several days with his
many relatives.

The bake sale on. April 14
spensored by the Altar Guild of
St. Margaret of Scotland Church
and held at Victor Zala’s Corner
Store, was a huge success. More
than $40 was. raised in just two
hours, with. the home-made
goodies selling fast.

We notice that Montague
Marine Park has been. tidied up
for the weekend, after several
months of going down to see the
trascans overflowing, it is nice to
see it.clean again. Many people.
came over to camp out, some in:
the pouring rain, but those who
stayed on to see. the sunshine of
the past few days were. well-
rewarded.
