To Call at White Rock

Destination

A glimpse of the needs of the
Fijians, while a member of th
merchant navy during World
War II has left Rodney Wesley

Garrett, of Langley, with an
Unsatisfied desire.
Kt is in fulfillment of — this

desire that he plans to get off
for the Fiji Islands in his re
cently acquired 29 foot yawl in
August to give medical atten
jon to islanders in remote
atolls,

But prior to setting out across
the Pacific he plang to slip in
to White Rock Bay to bid fare
well to his many friends who
Wish him Godspeed in his
quest. Among his many friends
are the Tom Irwins of Terry
| Road.

| Born in Australia and rear
Jed by a Godly mother, Garrett
Jat an early age became con
scious of his responsibility to
his fellow men not only to give
}them the story
but also to attend their
needs. To him food for he
soul and food for the body go
hand in hand.

But it was while cruising |
among the tiny islands while a
merchant seaman that he first!
became aware of the tremend-
ous physical need-of these re
mote people who had no way
of getting medical supplies un-

to

less they were brought in to
them by boat.
It was then he determined

that some day he would return
to the islands equipped to’ help
these people.

That was 16 years ago. Since
then this husky Australian has
married the daughter of a Bap.
fist minister and has three
children. He came to the Lang-
ley district three years ago and
turned to selling life insurance,
but never Josing sight of his
first goal, that to acquire a ves
sel to take him back to those |
needy islanders.

His determination paid off
and soon as a successful sales-
man he was able to save enough |
money to purchase the South-|
ern Cross II last January. |

He has faith to belieye he
will be able to set sail for the
Fiji slands by August and if
money is forthcoming he will
send his family ahead by liner, |
but if necessary he will take |
them with him in the nas)
yawl.

The Southern Cross has an |
all-welded steel hull and was |
built in Vancouver in 1947. She |
is 29 feet long between per-
pendiculars, and 44 feet over-
all, with a beam of 11
seven inches, |

She has a 35 foot spruce main-
mast and an 18 foot, six inch
missen, and can carry 519
square feet of canyas.

She can sleep six and it fit
ted with a new 10 hp. Lister-
Blackstone Auxiliary diesel en-

She will have two new se
of sail and will be re-rig:
