Tsartl ip Walkathon

With pledges totalling $1,500, the Tsartlip Indian Band walkathon last Saturday can be described as a mild financial success.

With nearly half that amount being pledged spon:

~ taneously — over $200 of it in direct donations —- it can, however, be considered a resounding demonstration of

community support of native initiative.

‘Clipping pledge forms from the Review and phoning pledges to the band office, citizens throughout. the Peninsula offered Tsartlip Indians assistance in their

desire to create new jobs and profits onthe Reserve.

This is another significant step in bringing greater understanding and co-operation between our two

cultures.

Mail Delivery

On September 27 the thriving, bustling centre of our

community may thrive a little less and bustle a little

more quietly. On that day postal delivery will begin in

2 Sidney.

Undoubtedly the change will bring some advantages.

- “No longer will residents of the Town and district find it

necessary to make daily trips to Beacon Avenue. Mail will be delivered to their doors. Post boxes will be

located at thirteen sites throughout the town and even parcels will be delivered by truck..

- All these are improvements to be sure.

They may, however, simply be further: steps in. ‘the

: gradual process of improving ourselves right out of our

| : “present way of life.

‘The small-town, small shops, personalized sort of

BY JOHN SQUANCE

When it is said, ‘‘Of books there are no end,” it is a truism as far as the average reader is con- cerned.,: Even when we read, more or less, on selected subjects it is next.to impossible te keep abreast.

So, oftenI find that only a sentence or two, or a paragraph, perhaps, or an episode rernains in my memory as a legacy from that particular author. It has helped remind me by making.a note here and there, when the author’s thought has met with a response in me.

Here are, from diverse reading and a wide range of subjects, a few of these notes.

From Henry David Thoreau: “If a man is out of step with his companions, it may be that. he hears a different drummer, let him march to the drummer that

‘he hears.”

Margaret Harom Bro writes. in “‘Sarah’’, ‘You see I have no one to read to, and’an appreciative audience makes me a. little drunk!”

Editor, The Review, Sir:

One can esteem A.G: Moffoot’s appraisal. of postal delivery -in Sidney. Common sense we have none of. Yet what a small amount is the 50,000 plus dollars com- pared.to the half-of two thirds of our tax money wasted. That we have been able to ignore the old adage waste not want not, may.at thé moment seem all to the good.

‘Central Saanich Alderman Don : MacLaurin and Mrs. MacLaurin’

‘ Advocate” has one priest say to another, ‘‘We have lost. touch with the people who keep us in ‘touch with God:’’ ;

From an article in the “Saturday Evening Post, ‘God is not a man-made concept, but our concepts of God are man-made.” . Gibran is quoted. as saying, ‘Every. thought I -have im- prisoned in expression, I must free by my deeds.”

Dag -Hammarskjold in “Markings”, “You cannot play with the animal in you without becoming wholly animal, play with falsehood; without forfeiting your right to truth, play with cruelty. without losing your sensitivity of mind. He who wants to keep his garden tidy doesn’t reserve a plot for weeds.’

John: Masefield, poet iaureate of England, wrote;

{hold that when a person dies _His soul returns again to earth And in another flesh disguise

Another-mother gives him birth

Have You N oticed?

With stronger bone and brighter brain |

The old. soul takes the road again.”

From Wordsworth, ‘Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The soul that rises with us, our life’s star,

Had elsewhere its setting, and cometh from afar;

Not in entire forgetfulness, and not in utter nakedness,

But trailing clouds of glory do we come, from God who is our home.”

From the Bible, 1st Samuel, Chapter 3; ‘‘And the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no open vision.” In proverbs, Chapter 29; ‘‘Where there is no vision the people perish.”’

Gibran, once more: 1€ dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. And when the earth shall claim your limbs then shall you truly dance.”
