Quiet Lost The Race

Without taking anything away from the man who
beat him, Earle Tabor deserves some sympathy for
the loss of his Central Saanich aldermanic seat —
and a compliment for the work he has done in his
time on council.

Ina way it may have been one of his strong points
—one of the things that made him a good alderman
— that finally did him in.

Earle Tabor has not easily been drawn into the

He worked hard on council, and many times

In recent years it has been
most unusual for us to dine in
‘restaurants, primarily
because of the rising cost of
doing so, and further because
" of an aversion to reconstituted
mashed potatoes sup-

fresh from a can.

It so happened, however,
that with visitors from
overseas in quick succession
we have in the past couple of
months sampled the bill of
fare at several of the higher
priced establishments in
Victoria and experienced
some significant changes in

the manner of such en-

By Former
Review Editor
fL.V. GREEN

Everything is changed.
Scintillating lights sparkling
on spotless crystal have given
place to wavering candles

‘ flickering in coloured glasses,

while a few low-wattage bulbs
suitably disguised in the far
distance provide illumination
more suited to a monastic
refectory.

“Oh, but it’s so romantic,” I
have heard young people say.
But what of those who
patronise a restaurant for
reasons other than romance.
To enjoy good food at-
tractively served in an: at-
mosphere of elegant
surroundings, for instance?

I must admit.at once that
age and failing faculties have
something to do with this
peevish protest. In the first
place, I like to be able to read
the menu intelligently. and at
leisure, and the wine list as
well if the occasion merits that
indulgence. This I was unable
to do, even with glasses, in
several of the establishments

we visited.

In this predicament I am not
alone in my perplexity. At a
nearby table in a restaurant
noted for its nautical flavour a
middle-aged lady briskly
whisked an electric torch from
her handbag and spotlighted a
study of the bill of fare. I had
no such aid to vision at hand,
so was constrained to
enquiring of my companions
“what are you going to or-
der?”’.

“Oysters - Scampi?” No, I
don’t think so. I settled for fish
and chips. This was a mistake,
because there were bones
which had to be detected in the
mouth rather than on. the
plate. Likewise with dishes
swamped with sauces of
dressing. They’re best
avoided when one has to rely
on taste rather than vision.

What is the reason for such
low-key lighting
arrangements? Can it be that

However, there is one ob-

The prevailing subdued

—— LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ———_

Editor, The Review, Sir:

It has been brought to the
attention of a meeting of the
members of the Royal
Canadian Legion that a poster
had been placed in the window
of a store in the Town of
Sidney, a smoke shop at 2440
Beacon Ave., this poster
stated that, “We are the un-
willing, led by the unqualified,
to do the unnecessary, for the
ungrateful’,

Ihave been requested by the
Saanich Peninsula Branch No,

-37 of the Royal Canadian
Legion to state that this
branch takes the strongest
exception to the posting of a
sign of this nature prior to the
Service of Remembrance in
Sidney.

During the Second World
War, the German propaganda
ministry turned out ins
formation which was then
known as The Big Lie. They
assumed that if told often
enough people would even-
tually believe it,

It would seem that this
poster falls into the same
category as there is no truth in
any of the wording if it was
intended to refer to the
Canadian veterans. We
believe also, that this may
have caused some distress
among those who lost loved
ones during both conflects,

The truth of the matter: is
that all Canadians were
volunteers in both wars, not
“the mnwilling'. And they are
very proud of the fact,

While in any matter of
human endeavour there will
he some who are placed in
positions of authority for
whieh they are not qualifted,
the faet remains that the
Canadian services had the
best leadership In officers and

these wars, and that ineludes

of this is not only in the official
record, but Lean vouch for the

The recent reference made
fo Frank Calder as “Tonto”,
may have been supposed to be
funny, but to my mind it was a
case of extremely bad liste
and manners,

Had Mr, Calder been a white
man instead of an Tndian, no
doubt a suit of slander would
now be in the making,

H's a eredit to Mr, Calder
that he has probably passed
the incident off as just another

example of the white man’s
ignorance of the only true
Canadians.

We so-called pure white
races tend to forget that when
the early settlers first invaded
this continent, and that’s
exactly what it was, an in-
vasion, in spite of all the
heroic tales of brave stands
against hordes of painted
“savages”, the Indians were
willing to share their country
with the white man, rather
than fight and lose, as well
they knew they would against
such overwhelming odds of
men and weapons, T wonder
how many whites would have
fought for what they now say
is their country, = as
desperately and bravely as
the Indians eventually had to,

Many of the early arrivals to
this land would have starved
or died of disease, had the
Indians not shown them how to
grow many of the crops we
now take for granted Cour
favorite, eorn, being one of
them) or treated them with
their herbs and potions that
we now can buy so easily at
the drug, stores, ,

How many people, | wonder,
know that it was the white
man who first started the
horrible practice of sealping
(for bounty of course) and
the mutilation that occured

during the annihilation of
whole villages.
two books, ‘Touch The

arth’ and “Bury My Heart
At Wounded Knee", ive very
graphic descriptions af such
atrocities committed under
the yuise of “taming — the

Mr. Calder may, however,
take seme consolation from
the fact that according to
legend, it was Tonto who
rescued and nursed back to
life the Lone Ranger, after he
had been shot and left for dead
by the notorious Cavandish

I wish Mr. Calder success in
his political career, maybe he
can get back for his people
some of the respect they so
rightly deserve in this
prejudiced world.

Social Credit is to spend 700

thousand onthe coming
election. In the ballyhoo

generated by this, let it not be
forgotten that Bennett senior
gave away our timber, gave to
our beloved neighbour all
benefits deriving from our
Columbia River, and for ever.
General McNaughton told us
twenty times the power could
be generated by dams higher
up,

The Arrow Valley is flooded,
destroyed forever and we
have already spent millions of
dollars more money than was
expected to cost, According to
McNaughton not only the
Columbia but the ast
Kootenay is out of our control,

Bennett junior is to give
away our mineral resources,

mistakenly thought losing
votes more important than
preaching socialism. Con-
fusius told us “keep simple
things simple.” What simpler
than producing goods and
services for use; not for
private profit,

In Morris, Robert) Blatek-
ford and the rest of that noble
bund —- not forgetting Shaw --

taught would come about,
Whatever happened — to

wonder

And the Lost comes marching
on."

But the Lost did not come
marching on. Lies were told,
as now, and believed. Also, it
may have been as Carlyle said

“there are about thirty million —

people in the British Isles:
mostly fools’. This then our
heritage? But to Wm. Morris
“Tm going your way, so let us
go hand in hand, Let us help
one another.”

The N.D.P. has an inkling of
this: no other party in. the
offing has, nor sees this as
right. or just, Again, let. there
be no epitaph for the N.D.P.
until we can get something
better. As in poetry in prose
Morris was the songsmith,

Despite his “Dreamer of
dreams, born out of my due
time, Why should I strive to
set the crooked straight he
did to great effect, “Forsooth,
brothers, fellowship is heaven,
and the lack of fellowship is
hell; fellowship is life and the
lack of fellowship is death,
and the deeds that ye do upon
the earth, itis for fellowship’s
sake that ye do them,
Therefore, T bid you not dwell
