Members of the newly formedGanges Centre Association and theirfamilies put brooms, rakes andgarbage bags to appropriate use, thenat the end of the day, hot dusty andaching (have you ever swept the K. & Rparking lot with a small broom?)rewarded themselves with a familypot-luck supper.The second phase came aboutthrough the combined efforts of theGanges Centre Association and theChamber of Commerce. Planters,hanging baskets and flowering plantswere acquired through the generosityof the members of these organizationsand private citizens. These wereinstalled during another volunteerwork bee, and a student was hired totend them all summer with theassistance of volunteers. If the newpleasant look of the village wasn'tsufficient reward, the enthusiasticcomments of residents and visitorsalike certainly were.To all participants - the businessoperators who gave of their rare freetime and their families and friends -for the 'big clean up' - the individualislanders who cared - the casualpassers by who asked if they couldlend a hand - to those who donated thefunds for the plantings - and mostrecently to the Grad '84 class for theirown garbage removal efforts, thepeople of Salt Spring owe a heartythanks.Christmas mailing deadlines — 1983Great Britain, Ireland Surface Mail 1st ClassLetters 17 November 12 DecemberParcel post 3 November 5 DecemberEuropeLetters 3 November 5 DecemberParcel post 13 October 28 NovemberSouth Africa, Australia, N.Z.Letters 27 October 5 DecemberParcel post 6 October 21 NovemerUnited States Parcel post 21 November 7 DecemberCanada Parcel post 6 December 14 December

Exceptionally hard. Rhodonite'schief importance is in the making of jewellery andornamental objects.This semi-precious gem stone was discovered on SaltSpring approximately 30 years ago. Rhodonite isrelatively scarce, but deposits have been found inAustralia and in the Russian Urals.During the nineteenth century, rhodonite became afashionable material in Russia, and the imperial jewellerCarl Fabergf/ was particularly farrious lor his work in this-stone.Rhodonite's distinctive pink or rose colour is due to itshigh manganese content.

TofuTofu (soy bean curd) has been used in the Orient lornany centuries as one of their main sources of protein. Its being used in the western culture at an ever-increasingate. It has the same protein value per weight as chicken,nd is apparently much easier to digest than meat.Eaten straight, tofu is rather bland, but there aremmerous ways of preparing it. Tofu has the quality ofleing able to assume the flavour of whatever it has beenirepared with.One of the simplest and quickest ways ol cooking tofus to marinate it in soy sauce, then fry it with onions. Ifou have never tried it, don't wait!Remember, Confucius says, "Tofu or not Tofu, that ishe question!"Vehicle size considerationsWith the move of many of us to small cars there are;ome lessons we have to learn. Many of us don't seelifferences between the two vehicles — large versus small— other than size, easier parking, lower gas:onsumption, thus cheaper, etc. But there are some verymportant differences that can make a small car moreixpensive than the larger car.Briefly everything that moves in a small car movesnuch faster than the equivalent item in a large car toichieve the same speed.Small car tires revolve more often on the road and thus:an wear out faster.The engine works faster and thus the spark plugs liremore often and can have a shorter life; the engine getslotter and requires the cooling system to be checked outnore often; the additional heat affects the belts and hosessooner than in the bigger car.Oil and oil filters work almost twice as hard in a smallmgine, and thus the oil may break down sooner, and thefilters clog up faster, reducing gas mileage and allowing;ontaminants to damage fuel injection.The average life expectancy of the small 4 cylinder;ngine is just over 65,000 miles whereas in the 8 cylinder itis over 95,000 miles, i.e. before a major engine rebuildmay be required.Most of us fall into the "Severe Driving" category, i.e.short distances, engine at idle in traffic, at lights, dustyroads and overloading.The recommended maintenance to protect your smallSalt SpringPetroleumProducts Ltd.The Ganges Marina, a popular moorage stop forboaters, also offers fishing gear and licences, diveequipment and air, as well as Gulf marine fuels.engine is to change the oil and filters at least every threemonths or 5,000 km. (3,000 miles): flush out the coolingsystem once a year and add fresh coolant; complete tuneupat least once a year — preferably twice a year; andcheck the belts and hoses regularly.Only by looking after your small engine will youachieve the gas economies you expect, and not have tospend your savings on major engine repair.GANGESAUTOCENTRENext to Centennial Park 537-9221B.C.A.A.ApprovedAuto RepairsTowingTune-upsBear TeletronicFront End AlignmentExhaust Workon all North Americancars & most imports

Dawn Luker and friend of et cetera are always on hand to'\p with book selection, stationery needs, and even cinemaid theatre tickets.Design your ownlighting fixtureYou will be amazed at how quick and easy it is to create aaceful swag lamp to brighten a dark, empty corner, or anciting shade to give new life to any aging, but elegant base,just a few hours you can create a beautiful, professionalmlity, designer shade to match or compliment youriholstery, bedspread, curtains or room setting, and, you>n't have to be an accomplished craftsperson to do so.For many years, people didn't give a great deal of thoughtlighting in the home. Each room boasted a central ceiling;ht fixture and every person and piece of furniture in theom bathed in its merciless glare.In this modern age of lighting, lamp shades have assumednew importance. They can make or break a mood, atting, an environment. Today, one can create anvironment that suits their own personal specifications,thout spending out-ol-reach prices for ready-mades.What, exactly, do you want in lighting?Consider your space. Lighting should not overpower it,ir should it be so unassertive as to be lost in a cavernousom. There are many lamp shade forms available todayat come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. You can lightur room with soft-shaded lamps, or a well-placed floorht, or a hanging fixture that can be moved from place totee.Selecting the materials needed depends upon thevironment you wish to create. Just about any light toidium weight cotton or cotton blend garment fabric worksautifully. Cotton screened designer prints, primarily usedr upholstery, draperies and bedspreads are ideal. Eyeletibroidery, cotton lace and screened raydn acetates are alsory effective.Woven, macramed or crocheted lamp shades can addrmth and richness to any room setting.Rice pa per lampshades have become very popular. They: simple and fast to make, and do not require a great dealskill. Almost any colour shade can be obtained by dying: ricepaper, and a personal touch can be achieved byorporating dried flowers, ferns, lace, decals or even handinting the panels.et cetera offersbook binding courseThe history of the printed word goes back beyond thestrips of papyrus left by the ancient Egyptians.Papyrus scrolls were replaced by the square-shapeabook in the first century A.D., and the art of decoratingthe outer covers naturally followed.However, reading could not become widely popularuntil after the advent of the Gutenberg printing press, in1437.Today's books have become mass produced, with thegeneral physical quality necessarily having degenerated.Old family Bibles, and other cherished books, can berebound by one of the few remaining masterbookbinders, at considerable cost. However, the ancientcraft is being revived. Bookbinding as an art is enjoying arenaissance.For people who would like to learn the craft ofbookbinding, the Victoria Bindery will be offering aweekend course on Salt Spring Island on November 5thand 6th.Students will learn bookbinding through the process ofbinding their own volumes. Total cost of this seminar is$99.95, which includes all materials and equipment.Enrollment is limited to 10 people, to allow the instructorto give sufficient attention to individuals.A senior course will also be made available, withadvanced techniques for binding and repairing olderbooks.(Further information and application forms areavailable at "et cetera"— phone 537-5115 — or from Box826, Ganges, B.C.)Marsim Craft and Gift Shop offers a wide variety oflampshade forms, and a good selection ol how-to books onthe various methods of covering lampshade forms.Marsim's wil 1again be conducting lampshade makingworkshops in November.

But, lor all its advantages, woodteating also presents some problems.First ol all, there's the lost heat.Even il a wood stove is 50% to 70%:llicient, that still means about one4uarter to one-hall ol the useablemergy is going up the chimney. From3% to 30% of this lost energy is in the»moke.Second, slow-burning, airtightwood stoves, do produce considerableamounts ol creosote. It collects on theinner walls of flues and chimneys. It ismessy, it smells, and it's potentiallyhighly flammable. 11 this creosoteshould ignite, il could produce aserious chimney lire.You can summarize these probemsTax datesto rememberSection 156 of the Income lax Act,which requires instalment payments inadvance on estimated taxes payable, isbeing rigidly enforced by RevenueCanada. If income from which tax hasnot been withheld at source amountsto over 25% of your total income, andyour estimated total tax is more than$400.00, you must pay tax on thisincome by instalments at the rate of25% of the estimated total tax everythree months. Late or insufficientinstalments bear interest at the currentrate of 10% from the date on whichpayment should have been made tothe date payment actually was made.INCOME TAX DATESTO REMEMBERDec. 31, 1983 - Last instalmentpayment due lor 1983.Feb. 29, 1984 - Last date to purchasean R.R.S.P. to qualify asMar.a 1983 deduction.31, 1984 - First instalmentpayment due for 1984.April 30, 1984 - Last day to filepersonal income tax returnsfor 1983, without incurring apenalty of 5% of the tax unpaid atthe time the return was due.June 30, 1984 - Second instalmentpayment due for 1984.Sept. 30, 1984 - Third instalmentpayment uue tor ivot.in one word: smoke. And for peoplewho heat with wood, or who arethinking about heating with wood, thekey concern is how to deal with it.In the past there wasn't much theycould do. Now there is.A device called a catalyticcombustor can be installed in stoves toburn smoke at temperatures far belowthese normally required. Thecombustor is made from a piece ofceramic, formed in a honeycombpattern and coated with a specialnoble metal catalyst. The key to thecombustor's operation is the catalyst.This substance initiates a chemicalprocess that, causes smoke to igniteand burn at about 500° F.You get more heat from acombustor-equipped wood stove.Researchers at an independent testinglaboratory, found that wood stovesequipped with catalytic combustorscan generate up to 20% more usefulheat from each pound ol wood burnedTERRATEPPERPUBLIC ACCOUNTANTin low and medium fires. Over thecourse of a winter, that might meanfour cords of wood burned instead offive.A combustor-equipped stove canreduce creosote formationsignificantly. Long-term testsconducted by Corning indicate that upto 90% of creosote-producing gasesare burned as they pass through aCorning Catalytic Combustor. So,there's less mess, less smell and lesschance of fire.A combustor-equipped stove canalso reduce air pollution by up to 75%.Now you can enjoy all theadvantages of wood heating, withoutthe problems created by wood smoke.The catalytic combustor is availablein many stoves as original equipment,or if you already have a wood stove orfurnace, its manufacturer may have anapproved retrofit kit that can give youall the benefits of combustortechnology.2ND FLOOR,GANGES CENTRE BUILDINGBOX 810,GANGES, B.C.VOS 1E0 TELEPHONE 537-5557SALT SPRINGLANDS LTD.REAL ESTATEThe Gulf Islands Specialists for 60 yearsCALL COLLECT ANYTIME(604) 537-5515COMPLETE REAL ESTATE SERVICE:• Land Development * Planning • Mortgages • Investment • AppraisalsMonthly Corporation tax—— MIS tilPOX Qy.

They are first made into single threads called'plys', and then combined to form classic textured yarns.2-ply means two such strands twisted together, 3-ply hasthree strands, etc. Ply does not denote thickness, since thethickness of separate strands can vary a great deal.Different ways of combining strands results in noveltyyarns such as 'boucle' where one or more strands arewound loosely about others for a loopy raised texture;'chenille' is formed by cutting tightly wrapped strands fora velvet finish; brushed wools and mohairs are spun andplied normally, then passed through brush-like rollers to

Loom Room SpecialPatricia Barnes is frequently seenweaving shawls, blankets and creating'one of a kind' fashions in her shop, theLoom Room.Calculating yarn quantitiesYarn is sold by weight, usually 25gr.or 50 gr. balls (28.35 gr.= l oz.),however it is used up by length inknitting, and it is the number ofmetres (or yards) in each ball of yarnthat determines how much to buy.This can vary tremendously,depending on thickness and the fibrecontent of the yarn: syntheticsusually go further than wool; fluffyor fine yarns go further than heavyweightones.Tension is also a factor: a loosetension can mean a saving of one ormore balls, and is usually used inknitting mohair or highly-texturedyarn, the spaces between stitchesbeing filled by the surface fibres.A loosely twisted 'lofty' yarn goesmuch further than one with a tighttwist. The stitches usedalsoaffeet theamount needed, light lacy stitchestake far less than chunky arrans withsurface bobbles and overlapping ofknitted portions.The easiest way to be sure you arebuying the right amount is to select apattern, and then buy the type ofyarn it was written for. At the LOOMROOM, however, we find ourcustomers rarely take that route. Theindependently-minded Salt Springknitter likes the freedom to pick andchoose from our wide variety ofyarns and match them to a favouriteold pattern, or perhaps select onefrom our high-fashion collection ofpatterns, then substitute a . yarnsuited to her budget.There are many excellentmagazines on the market, andunfortunately most of the yarnsThe LOOM ROOM SPECIAL ita simple to knit lady's sweaterNeeding only minimum knittinjskills, it can be completed in a fevevenings by a beginner, and in eveiless time by an experienced knitter.One of its most attractive feature:is it is not limited to any particulamake or type of yarn.

NutritionPopcorn is one of the few snackfoods that both tastes good and isgood for you. It is one of the best allaroundsnacks in existence.Popcorn is a whole grain. Itsnutritive values are retained inside thehull until it is popped. The U. S.Department of Agriculture has foundthe following nutritive values in I pintof popped popcorn. The figures varybecause the actual weight of a pint ofpopcorn depends on the size of thepieces. They find a pint weighed from1/2 to 1 ounce (12 to 28 grams) andcontained 50 to 1 10 calories.Carbohydrates accounted for 10 to 22grams of that weight, protein from 2 to4 grams and fat from I to 2 grams. Onepint of popcorn contained 2milligrams of calcium, 0.4 to 0.6milligrams of iron, 0.2 to 0.6milligrams of niacin, .02 milligrams ofriboflavin and traces of vitamin A andthiamin. Water made up about 4% ofthe total weight.These figures may not seem veryhigh, but compared ounce for ouncewith beef, popcorn provides 67% asmuch protein, 110% as much iron, andan equal amount of calcium. A pint ofpopcorn contains 3 times as muchphosphorus as a pint of milk. Anaverage serving of 1-1/2 ounces ofpopcorn supplies as much energy astwo eggs. A cup of unbutteredpopcorn contains less calories thanhalf a medium grapefruit.YOUR TEETH AND POPCORNThe American Dental Associationrecommends popcorn as a snackbecause it's sugar-free. Chewingpopped popcorn also helps your teethand gums because it has a mildcleansing and massaging effect.POPCORN FOR DIETINGPopcorn is ideal for between-mealnibbling.

Care ofjewelleryThe desire to own and wearbeautiful things is universal;diamonds from South Africa viaBelgium or Israel, pearls from Japan,emeralds from Columbia, sapphiresfrom Sri Lanka, watches fromSwitzerland and gold from exoticNorthern Ontario.With a minimum of care, theseprecious possessions will last alifetime. Claw settings on ringsshould be checked for wear annually.This is especially important on thoseset with large stones, and rings whichare worn regularly.Modern quartz watches areextremely accurate and require littlecare; however, they are all poweredby a tiny electric cell which needsperiodic replacement.Never leave dead batteries in yourwatch, as they can leak and ruin themovement.Pepper Island:a delightful bookJohn Healey rises with the sun,spends two hours writing in hissolitary study, then makes morningtea and takes it in to Peg, hischildhood sweetheart.He is an incorrigible writer — anaward-winning playwright andpublished novelist — nonsense versesdone in impeccable rhyme flowincessantly from his pen.Considerably influenced byWilliam Shakespeare and GeraldManley Hopkins, he does not admiremuch of modern, sloppy writing. ToJohn, economy of words, precisionof thought, and a sound knowledgeSoft §of his craft are of prime importance.Born into a working-class Irishfamily and raised in the Englishmidlands, John developed aninsatiable appetite for the printedword. Books were not readilyavailable to him, and any that hemanaged to obtain he would eagerlydevour over and over, no matterwhat the subject matter.PEPPER ISLAND is a novel thatreflects the twinkle in John's blueeyes.
