Regional Planning _
- When it was announced that planning was to become a

and opposition to the proposal in rural areas.

‘The Capital: Region Planning Board had served

economically and well in a purely advisory capacity.
- The Director and his professional staff were well known
and their opinions were valued and respected. There
was no evident desire for a change.
_ However, the edict was: pronounced, and still there
remained the fear that the populous Greater Victoria
~ Municipalities would dominate planning throughout the
-region by virtue of majority representation on the
‘directorate and preponderate voting. power.

-Itis therefore gratifying and reassuring that Regional
- Board Chairman Mayor Hugh. Curtis has. appointed
Central Saanich Mayor A. M. Galbraith as chairman of
the Board’s newly constituted planning committee.

In a wider sphere and with even greater significance,
‘North Saanich Mayor J..B. Cumming is named deputy
_ chairman of: the Regional Board, an appointment that

‘Particularly it is appropriate. that Mayor Cumming
should be delegated to the chair of the Capital Region |.
‘Hospital Board and. the. hospital executive committee,
or no other member of the: directorate. is. ‘better
“qualified on the grounds of either interest or experience.
These. appointments, together with. assurances that
local. . planning authority of -the constituent
municipalitie: is not in: jeopardy, provide. reasonable
‘grounds for hope that the new planning function of the
Capital Region] Board will be exercised for. the benefit of |

-of howls of derisio Now ‘studio audiences give of their
: applause as directed, and fall victim to the delusion that |
a glittering. presentation is. full, compensation. for a},
“mediocre. performance, |.

It is ‘not. only in the realm. of ‘entertainment that the
“allure of the package obscures the value of the contents.

SKYLARK IGNORES RAIN
TO SING SPRING SONG:

Harbinger of Spring, the skylark was heard in full song by
Mrs. R. Foote of Sidney last Friday. The ‘blithe spirit’ of
Shelley’s immortal ode was heard again on Sunday from a
vantage point on Ardwell Drive, east of the racecourse.

The skylark was introduced from England in 1903, when 100
pairs were released in the Victoria area, and 40 more pairs
were liberated: in 1913 on the open land west: of Richmond
Road which then was the Lansdown Flying Field.

Other birds were released on the mainland from Califor-
nia, northward along the Pacific coast, but from all accounts
the species failed to naturalize elsewhere than on southern
Vancouver Island.
