Farmers’ Market

A tentative proposal to set up a Farmers’ Market in
Central Saanich has. aroused interest and favorable

comment.

It isan idea brought to Central Saanich council by the
municipal agricultural committee appointed by Mayor
A. M. Galbraith a year ago. At that time the mayor
pointed out that Central Saanich is essentially a farming

> area despite the actual and potential growth of the
~~ residential population.

Agricultural committee chairman, Alderman Ted

Clayards, is correct in: his. assumption that roadside
produce stands are a great attraction to the many
‘motorists who drive along the country roads for
- pleasure. Their purchases alike are of great help to the
- rower enterprising enough to ‘pute his © ‘Produce. on.

season. But there are other small producers on the

Aman on the Ist floor of

a -building next to two
escalators, one coming up
from the ground floor and
one going down to it. Both
escalators have 32. steps
and both move at the same
speed. The man ab-
sentmindedly stepson to
the downgoing — escalator
and does not notice his
mistake till he is 24 steps
down. He then immediately
scrambles up again. He has
‘coegle as for every

three steps that he climbs
the escalator descends two.
He gets back to the first
floor.

Question. Would he have
been quicker if he had
continued to the ground
floor and then got on the
ascending escalator?

Answer to last week’s
Problem:

The ship is 24 years old
and the captain is 32 years
old.
