Fire. protection is a . major
concern not only to Marina
operators but also to those who
have homes on our shores. Many
places are easily accessible only
from the water in an emergency
and considering the high in-
vestment on our very long
shoreline and the potential
dangers, some form of water-
borne protection could well be
considered by our | two
municipalities. But more of this
at a later date.

Our heading this week carries a
replica of a boating burgee..In
following weeks we hope to in-
troduce to you some of the more
familiar pennants seen in these

waters. This week it is the new
flag of our own Canoe Bay Sailing
Club. The colours, orange on
white insignia on dark blue.

Interest in sailing comes from
some surprising sources. This
week two different and highly
revered senior citizens of North
Saanich confided that they
wished to become a‘part of the
water people and had either just
acquired or were in the process of
building small sailing dinghys.
Perhaps they have come to
realize that after a full and often
strenuous life there is nothing
more relaxing in retirement than
‘just messing about in boats.’

Hon. T. C. Douglas, Leader of
the New Democratic Party, was
an overnight guest, last week, at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Olaf
Anderson, 2411. Malaview- Ave.
This was a brief stopover for Mr.
Douglas. enroute to the Gulf
Islands and Vancouver.

For the second time in three
races they were plagued by
unnecessary interference around
the Sidney Channel buoy due toa
procession of large commercial

Chamber. of -. Commerce
members are concerned about
the.type of construction planned
for the proposed Mount Newton
Cross Road hospital. They fired
questions at Mayor J.B. Cum-
ming, chairman of the Regional
Hospital Board when he. ad-
dressed them Jast week.

Describing class ‘'B’’. con-
struction, the. Mayor explained
that this covers a building which
allows $10,000 to be spent per bed.
A total of $75,000 had been ap-

Class B Construction
Suitable, Says Mayor

proved for the first-stage unit of
75 extended-care beds. Later an
additional $75,000 is expected to
be spent on 75 acute-care beds.
Class '‘A"’ construction allows
$13,000 to be spent per hospital
bed. Cumming said later that this
type of building usually involves
multiple levels and is suitable for
city hospitals were land costs are
high. ‘'The trend today is toward
single story construction’ the
Mayor told The Review, adding
that class “B"’ is more suited to
rural areas.
At the Chamber meeting, the
Mayor predicted a late-spring
start onthe Mount Newton 22-
acre site which was purchased
for $128,000. Rest Haven. Hospital
Administration is preparing a
feasibility study after. which |
sketch plans and then working
drawings will have to be. sub-
mitted for approval.

Chamber members. who
suggested that.-building costs
were rising .during the time-
consuming steps were told ‘‘Let’s
not rock the boat!’ Peninsula
residents have made a lot of noise
and, as a result, have done well
with the allocation of hospital
beds, the Mayor advised. the
