of bad judgement but most we have seen
have been made infinitely worse by the
excessive speed ‘of vehicles travelling to the
ferry. They need never have happened.
Accidents don’t have to be fatal for the
results to be just as tragic.

In our opinion an immediate reduction of
the speed limit for vehicles travelling from
Beacon Avenue to the ferry terminal ‘is
absolutely. necessary and should be strictly.
enforced.

But the very idea of a pedestrian overpass
is highly suspect since it would appear to
benefit no one but the contractors.

Shocking conditions

The Times-Colonist. editorial, ‘‘Limiting
Houses in North Saanich’’ (May 26,) quotes
one alderman as saying, ‘‘If we let -this
‘continue, there will be great- pressures for
sewers, which would be a bad thing for this
municipality.’? This is misguided thinking,
typical of the present council. — .

Those of us who live in the area north of
McTavish Road, east of the elementary
school, leading down through Canora Road,

Bakerview and Lochside to the sea, have ~

good reason to fear this myopic outlook, for
reasons which follow.

"When water was scarce, Sidney water- -

‘above this area. Then Sooke water was
‘offered, and all concerned jumped with joy,

Some of us are busy installing drains to take
off the sewage-polluted water to the ditch on
the west side of Canora Road, which, i

turn, runs into other ditches in the area, and

_on to the sea.

Being a retired physician, 1 am aware of
the serious health hazard presented, and feel

sure that the non-medical residents must also

be:aware of the dangers, which will continue
to exist until the matter is competently dealt
with. The. only solution to. rid this. area of
this insanitary state, is to connect all
dwellings through which the water passes to
an efficient sewage system.

Meanwhile our council entertains am-
bitious plans for a very expensive library, a

~~ new fire hall, and even a recreational centre,

said to cost several millions!. An efficient
sewage system is ruled out because of the

cost, though-who can have. any idea as to |
~ how much more expensive it will be when it

finally becomes essential?

For my part, I will feel cheated if one cent
of my taxes is spent on any project other -

than sewage, until we have this dreadful
menace removed from our lives. Therefore, I
would. very. much appreciate your co-

. Operation in: publishing this letter, so that

these shocking conditions may be more

THE REVIEW

We are pleased to welcome our new

supervisor, Mrs. Judy Van der Boonie.

Second, the eight - 10 hour orientation
program for new parents is given in several
sessions. including a coffee party and a
workshop. ‘The sessions acquaint parents
with the philosophy of the preschool the
methods. of the supervisor, and the use of
materials and equipment. .

Sidney Preschool also offers a two
morning program at $22 per month. As a

* ‘non-profit organization we offer a unique

and valuable experience to the children and
parents in Our community.

Any Roses around?

Your publishing of this ‘‘rootsy’’ kind of
letter could. be a great help in locating some
Roses in my family tree.

In 1797 the first Rose of my line arrived in
Northlake, P.E.I. His’ brother, Sampson,
with his wife, joined him a few years later.
Mr. and Mrs. Sampson Rose raised seven
sons and five daughters. Since their sons and
daughters were equally prolific, hundreds of
their descendents live today in P.E.I. while
others are scattered across Canada and the
U.S.A.

My . grandfather (Sampson’s grandson)

moved to Vancouver in the early 1900s and |
never went back. Other Roses. and Rose —

relatives took. part in prairie harvest. ex-
cursions, and some stayed and presumably
married and raised families.

Asa result ofa recent’ surge of interest in
‘‘who we are and where we came from’’, the
Roses are holding a reunion in'P.E.1. August

alone

The B.C. Society.
for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals
would like to call the
public’s attention to

‘the problems of young

wildlife in the spring.

If they. see a fawn
apparently aban-
doned, leave it alone.
Look around for its
mother, If they find
the mother dead then
call the SPCA who
will pick up the fawn
and look after it until
it is old enough to
return to the woods.

In most cases, the
mother is
hiding in the bushes.
Avoid the urge to pick
up the fawn. ‘Leave it

for at least 24 hours

and come back. If it is
still there, call the
SPCA. It.is- illegal for:
anyone to. pick-up or
-keep . wildlife. - The
SPCA has. a_ special
permit.

We want” to help,
but it is difficult to get —

a. fawn. back. to. the

“. wilds once it has. been ;

Foolish procrastination

Regarding all this foolish procrastination
on the part of North Saanich council — let
us have that meeting room in the new library
building (hopefully if we ever getit!) —

' Adjoining the library in Port Alberni they
have a lounge'and meeting rooms and an
attractive courtyard, fish pool and seats
where patrons may sit in the sunshine.

Mr. Jay Rangel; I am listing only a few
‘uses for a meeting room: National Film
Board Presentations which are free, art
groups, historical society meetings; friends
of the library, general public meetings,
specialized displays, free legal classes, pre-
school story time. Talks: and demon-
strations on Indian culture, archaeologist
talks on petroglyphs, and much, much more.
