THE NECESSITY OF ZONING |

HE president of. the Chamber of Commerce, J. C. Ander-
“gon; gave a short lecture last week. “He spoke on the
“necessity of the long.viewin zoning. “The day must come,” :
“said: Mr, Anderson, “when residential sites must: give way
: to industry.”’
~All of: ‘which will in part come true. “The trouble seems
“tobe in the starting...
Industry of any size has a tranaportation. problem. If
a lot of things are made, a lot of things must be moved.
On‘an.island it is natura] to locate near water, where access
-to the ocean, whence go‘the goods, is possible. Almost all
‘sites on the waterfront on the north end of the Saanich
Peninsula: have been purchased for residential sites. Not
 all/of them.have been built upon, but every sheltered
harbour is thus taken.
“- It is-easy to point: to the value of zoning, regret that
. the measures. now.to ‘be wisely implemented. were not
‘undertaken: earlier, and.talk: brightly of the weather. But
“.gome thought must be given to the future. More and more
~» people will move here, indeed, Canada needs: more people,
“itis alarge enough countr y, even this small por tion of itis
oo. pitifully: underpopulated. oes
The wise planners, we believe, sill reserve the: sheltered
aCe harbours and anchorages for industrial purposes, where
coo manufactured. goods may find easy access'to world markets.
Pa “./.There-remains. much . exposed - waterfront
. beautiful homesites‘elsewhere on the peninsula.
-This general viewpoint will not be shared by those who°
--have.built-their homes in the sheltered harbours of the.
~ peninsula,-and. naturally so. It is, however, the wise and
sensible view, the only sane plan for a progressive future>
for. the district, for men’ must work. Industry is necessary
_- for the wellbeing of.the district, and in the coming years
~. more and: more of our natural resources will be utilized, °
: Ways we do not dream of. today. .
“The early stages of zoning are not the easiest.
ae A practical and understanding. approach. from all who :
live in ‘the district must be forthcoming. It is well to™
~- remember that any change is-not necessarily a. sudden one,
es in fact;such- changes: are usually. very: ‘gradual.

Last Call To Kill
Gladiolus Thrips

Among the flowers that bloom
in the.summer, most gardeners
agree that the gladiolus is in: the
top bracket among the most: beau-.
No flower. is. more: easily
grown, but: unless’ a little insect, -
known as-:the gladiolus thrip, . is
controlled: the grower just won’t —

It:is now ‘about time .to: plant

‘gladiolus corms and. if-they have

not yet been treated for the con--
trol of thriph it. is not too late -to
do so, says Alan G,.-Duston, -divis-
ion of entomology, Dominion. De-
partment of Agriculture, Ottawa.
Before planting, he says, the
soaked for 24

peeled, in vt solution of one. ounce
eorrosive sublimate (mereury
bichloride) to G gallons of water.
Containers for the solution should
be of wood, glass or earthenware.
Corrosive sublimate can be bought
at uny seed or drug -store. It
should “be used with great care
as it is deadly poison.

Lysol may ‘also be -used inste: ade
of corrosive. sublimate. It is used
at the rate of 4 teaspoonsful to
one gallon of water. A six-hour
soaking of the corms, either peeled

Lysol. ;

Relinquishment Of The

Palestine Mandate

A Brief Review of Britain’s 30 Years of Work

“On the: -yelinquishment of the
Palestine Mandate, it is timely to
outline some of Britain’s 30 years
of work in that troubled /country.-

The Mandate sect the United
‘Kingdom government three major
iasks-—first, te promote. the well-
-and development ~ of the.
people of Palestine; secondly, to
facilitate the establishment in
Palestine of a national hame for
the Jewish people and of Jewish
immigration. into “that country,
while ensuring that the rights and
position of other sections were
nut prejudiced; thirdly, to pre-
pare the people of Palestine for
self-government.

It is by their: efforts to carry
out ‘these tasks, and not in the
light of the conflicting aspirations
of vither the Arabs or the Jews,
that the administration of Pales-
tine must be judged..-

~ When British rule began, Pal--

esuine was.a primitive, undevel-
oped. country. The British ad-
ministration improved agriculture,
extended and © modernized com-
munications and‘ helped. to develop
industry.. Law and order, though
later destroyed by ‘political viol-
enee, owas. established, ~ public
health and the standard of living
improved, and educational | fucili-
ties were provided.

In the words of the 1947 report
of the United Nations Special
Committee on Palestine: “One
may find in the record of the
Palestine administration evidence
of a. persistent effort to effect
gradual improvements in the. eco-
nomic and social condition. of the
Arab population.”

“On
the. same report said:
sent difficult circumstances should
not distort’ the perspective of
solid. achievement. arising: from
the joint efforts of the Jewish
community’ and the .administra-
tion in laying the» foundations of
a national home.”
~ The .Government .of. ‘Palestine

The . members, -however, «. were.
not prepared to enforce their own,
partition plan against Arab. op-
‘position and the renewal of Arab

Nations’ decision made the loss
of further British lives inevit-
able.

In view of their decision not to
enforce partition against the
wishes of the majority of the in-
habitants, the United . Kingdom
government had no option but to
bring to an end their Mandate on
May 15 and to arrange for the
withdrawal of their forces by
August 1. This decision was wel- |
comed by the Arabs and Jews

alike, as well as by the United
Nations. .

the. Jews attempted to. introduce,
while simultaneously winding up
their administration, © evacuating
their officials, withdrawing their
forces, and
with the United Nations the trans-
fer of their-:authority and fune-
tions.

The arrival in Palestine of the
United ‘Nations Commission .to
implement partition would have
inflamed Arab violence and the
United Kingdom. government sug-
gested the despatch of a. small
party. When this advance party
had visited «Palestine, the Com--
mission reported: to. the Security
Council that they could not carry
