Recreational Complexity

Delegates from near and far will assemble in Sidney on February 20 for the annual meeting of Vancouver. Island Recreational Association and a day-long series.of group — talks on subjects to be expounded by experts. in particular spheres of recreational en-

-deavour.

As far as Saanich Peninsula is “concerned

. the occasion could hardly be more timely, for community recreation efforts are bedevilled

- by. conflicting. objectives which are relen- tlessly pursued through the haze of incessant

- internal warfare.

_ While SPARA conducts its peninsula- wide campaign for skating and curling rink

facilities independent. of _ official

support,

_ Sidney’s Centennial committee fights on in its © -. lone campaign for a municipal. swimming pool. At present the two groups are at one

| -another’s throats.

ithin their respective terms of. reference it” must be said that the recreational com- missions of. Sidney: and North: Saanich have - : fulfilled their obligations. with credit in recent irs. In Central Saanich ‘the’ recreation : _ commission has been no more than an agency through « yhich the government grant: was,

LETTERS tot El

A DIFFERENT VIEW Editor, The Review, Sirs

The Thomas J. Bradley. article of February.3 has me wondering. “‘Nerifying: Evidence’ really is revealed in the Dead Sea scrolls. Mr. Bradley's evidence” likely came froma source susceptible to feeling rather than according to fact.. Edmund Wilson, one of the few able to decipher the originals, states that almost word for word St..John’s Gospel was found in the scrolls long before John was born. Furthermore, the sect of the Essenes had a leader known as Teacher or Master who taught. everything that © Jesus

- taught: he lived 150 years before

Jesus. Jesus, so my informant tells me,.was. a. pupil of the Essenes, What cone lusion can we draw?

Several years ago [owas speaking to a. man-and his wife, dear friends, visiting us, to this effect: the lady said “but that does away with the divinity of Jesus.’

‘‘Just so,” I had to say, and: they left for home immediately. On arrival they phoned to apologise for.their reaction, with the request. that. we should ‘not discuss this again, and I would be excused for mentioning. this. Nevertheless 1 would not do ‘so should there be one chance they might see a copy of The Review. _ But is- it. that we. deliberately - tone down or discard what is repugnant to us? Why should we fear the truth? Someone once ‘wondered why God limited. the. intelligence of ‘man. and-not his “stupidity; our arrival at the truth is not effortless.

Further to this: in my youth J -knew.an agnostic: to one. such it may. appear an aberration for.

o ‘him to say-‘‘gradually I came to:

-understand that Jerusalem ‘and: not Athens i is the sacred city, and that one has to love Jesus and his gospel of love and pity:or one will never come to full stature. Born

Spring came to Sidney waters with a vengeance: on Sunday. Bright sunlight: and a: light 5-10 knot breeze saw 21 yachts of the Royal. Victoria » Yacht -.Club blossom forth ina gay patchwork of brightly coloured spinnakers against the dark blue sea. The full 10-mile course was com- pleted, twice around the buoys. No final results for this race have been announced yet but they will be published by this paper as ‘soon as possible.

On the subject of Cal 20's, there isevery possibility that there will be class racing starting for these boats with the new. series of’ Canoe’ Bay races. .commencing this Saturday. The: latest membership roll of 31 boats and skippers lists five of these pocket cruiser“ racers and one rnore has indicated intent to join.

The. crew roster. now. has several names on it and skippers are needed who are willing to take on.one more hand. This is a very worthwhile project and will pay dividends of wider interest in sport of sailing and support for it in the future, The number to call is 656-3237.
