PAGE 2 Elvira C. Bryant] Writes of life in the Queen Charlottes and adventures at sea This is the first letter n- ot being properly written from the B.C. Canuck, since the author has not been out on the boat out of the harbour again, as yet. The chief reason has been the weather - it appears that the captain is prepared to make the trips on his own, until he feels assured there will not be a repeat of the initial journey, Last week-end Vic was able to go out with an Alex Taylor from Masset, who used toowna fishing boat and spent some twenty years fishing in a- nd around this area. To quote the captain, ‘Alex and [ are about the same speed.” Both enjoyed a day and a half of fishing and caught enough fish to have made the trip profitable. Alex is said to have been wishing he had a boat of his own again, and Vic had been wanting to take someone out with him, who had had experience in these waters. Alt the moment Alex has been unable to arrange to have his holidays. It was shortly after this trip that radar stopped . working. Instructions were given over the. phone about soldering a fine wire across the burnt out fuse until fuses arri- ved. However an electrician decided the fault was in the machine itself, so the radar went out by air for repair this ‘week, to Victoria. When the tide was low the cother .:morning, Ed soand Vie.wwent:;out. for-. ~oetapi; arid“today when Vic went out on the boat he had some cut up segments to use for bait. Octapus meat is -preferred by halibut, so perhaps some of these will be caught on. this trip. Last week the catch was a variety of cohoe, spring and dog salmon. All fish are graded according to condition, variety, size and how they are dressed out. Masset will soon be without dusty roads since its streets are all being paved. Queen Charlotte City was given this full treatment first, and from what I can gather the work is being done by the provincial government, Since all the equipment had to be brought in by barge, all the work will’ be completed.

Fortunately —_ television and radio do give us some of the current news... In between -- the enjoyment | of. - the grandchildren and ‘daily games of double Solitaire or crib, I-have completed the reading - of two more books. Erich _von Daniken’s .-“‘Gods from Outer’ Space”, was one of these. To. me, it was . much | more absorbing than “Chariots - of the Gods;’** ‘T teel: part of this reason was that -I had read “Biological Time Bomb” a few years - ago, possible links between the ancient writings, ‘visitors from outer space _ and the alteration’ of the genes makes intriguing’ reading...

The - suggestion of. John Manolesco is entitled ‘‘Scientific Astrology." The two most interesting items in my opinion, were finding that astrology is taught at a university level in England, _and_ that Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine” required t- hat his students study astrology. Apparently Hippocrates stated, “The man who does not understand astrology is to called fool rather than physician.” The meat of the book is where the author speaks about the spirit of man overshadowing his body reality. To quote: “The beginning of astral philosophy i is the mystery of the universe, and the end, is the exploration of the human soul. The macrocosm is not merely the cosmos of modern - science, nor the solar system, but the unity of consciousness, the supreme principle from which all truth derives; the anima numdi, the soul of the world.” Perhaps the next book I read should be “Return to Elysium”, a ‘Far Memory’’ Book, by Joan Grant. It will be lighter reading than W.Y. Ev- ans-Wentzs ‘‘The Tibetan Book of the Dead.” I may eventually complete the reading of all these books that I brought along, if I keep away from the ne books for sale. at Masset. - Managed to copy out “Jack Pine Needles’’ for the ‘‘Hear Canada Singing” contest. Since then I have heard over | 2000 entries have already been received, so it is nice to know that Canada is finally coming into her own with Canadian music. I do not expect to get anywhere the two I have sent in, but participation § is important, and even a nice comment might be enough to inspire one again. Yours truly, Elvira C.

We harp endlessly on the need for closer pollution control of pulp mills, factories, and other giants of industry. Yet we give little thought to the day-to-day ecological imbalance created by the accumulation of each person’s thoughtlessness. How many of us go off on a camping trip armed with rolls and rolls of Polaroid film to capture those rare sights of wild animals or the family posing beside some tourist attraction? Little do we realize that the waste scraps of film which we carelessly toss at our feet are toxic to fish and wildlife. The American Medical Association reporis that the scraps poison the immediate areas of streams and Lakes they ure tossed or blown into. And for some unknown reason, moose, elk and deer relish the highly toxic scraps. Polaraid film is not the only deadly bit of litter we discard. - Those handy flip top rings for opening cans of beer or soft drinks have proven to be torture traps for fingerling trout. In one instance a fingerling swam through the ring which then became wedged around his tummy, As the fingerling ‘grew and the ring did not, the fish was obliged to grow al either end and pinched in at the center by a too-tight band of aluminium. Granted the odds of this type of incident occurring are not very high, but the point is the fish’s suffering is wholly unnecessary if people would only observe the laws they so blithely pass in Parliament. When the B.C. Anti-Litter Law became effective in 1970 threatening a $500 fine for any form of littering, I was one of the ones who felt now at last we had a law that would effectively deal with slobs who ,Monchalantly stand beside their car! in ADE Safeway parkin lol er enn RNs SK erate ao — res roses teoreshestsetet and drop a banana peel on the asphalt, or citizens who find vacant lots a convenient excuse for the. City Dump. But I was wrong. To date I have neither read nor heard of any convictions under the Anti- Litter Law and daily I witness motorisls tossing from their car windows everything from empty beer bottles and soft drink cans to babies disposable diapers and paper towels. Even Mounties, those bulwarks of upright citizenship, breeze (through town flipping empty cigarette packages out of their patrol car windows. True, it’s only one beer bottle, or one paper towel. But one piece of - litter tossed from every car that passes a checkpoint and by the! end of a normal day's traffic you could probably collect a lilter basket full of trash. If you're one of the few who practices anti-litter in your daily life, persist. Train your family to support your eltorts. You may think no one is aware of your tidiness but you can be sure when you camp in a private campground you'll be noticed, approved, and go down in the campsite operator’s memory as a desirable camper, the type he will be happy to see arrive for a return visit, For the truly neat camper is a rarily, Far commoner is the camper who leaves his camp Space strewn with bits of soggy paper towel, crumpled Kleenex, squashed cigarette butts, bottle caps, cigar wrappers, Kodak film scraps, half burned egg shells, and flattened paper cups. Little does he realize that to return the camp space.to its original inviting itidiness the operator must police the area searching out these tidbits of litter, No wonder then if he recalls the Neatnik who leaves behind nothing but clean grass and a garbage can with the lid set on square and fly-tight. Laws will never protect our environment. It takes the daily effort of every individual doing hig small bil to clean up, . nee # SEEDS Ce Se EROOREEEN tena En | the herald A weekly paper published by Sterling Publications Ltd.
