Vancouver Island Wonderland

By Barry Broadfoot

Vancouver Island
should split from Canada and
sail away and drop anchor
in the Pacific it would only
be a few weeks: before the
cruise ships and sea-going
ferries and jetliners would
be as busy as ever,

At the risk of sounding
ridiculous, Vancouver Island
is the kind of place which va-
cationers will travel any dis-
tance to visit.

The reason? It has -very-
thing.

‘Take some dictation, Miss

WITH'Q"AND

Dawson: 2

If big cities are your
thing, it hus Victoria, with
one great hotel, dripping
with tradition and a history
of service, ‘The Empress, na-
turally, And several other
tine hotels and many motels,
many recently built, modern
as tomorrow but each with
that special bit of individual-
ity. And fine restaurants, in-
cluding one on an old ship,
Americans love that. So do
Canadians. And night spots,
and discotheques, Yes, Vic-
toria swings, And the Par-

Indians spinning the woul and
then knitting those wondertul
Cowichan ‘sweaters. They do
not come cheap, but they’re
the best travel buy you'll tind
anywhere, Wonderful
versation pieces, too.

While you're there, try
some tly fishing in the Cowi-
chan river. If you strike out
there, just say you're practis-
ing for some of the many oth-
er tere farther up the {s-
and.

Now, drive on north and
turn off at the sign to the
Cowichan Valley Forest Muse-

fiament Buildings, if yo
want to watch polticians at
play; and there's the Ye Olde
English bit which everybody
smiles at, but it is undeniabl;
there. And Beacon Hill Par!
and its flowers, and the view
oi the snow-mantled Olympic
Range across the blue Strait
of Juan de Fuca. Am I getting
too poetic, Miss Dawson?
You've seen them too? And
I'm right? Thank you, Miss
Dawson.
And Bastion Square with
its smart boutiques, and the
Maritime. Museum and the
new Provincial Centennial
Museum. You could spend a
day in these two. fant to
know about early British
Columbia? Well, it’s all there.
Take the waterfront drive
out around Oak Bay, or the
road to Point No Point and
watch the combers pound in
from Asia.
Feel like landing a big
salmon? Well, a small one
then? Drive out the ‘Island
Highway and stop off at Mill
Bay and rent a boat and tack-
le and try for a big one. Be
patient, though. Give it two
or three hours. Or drive on
to Cowichan Bay. There's
dandy fishing there, too. In
fact, all this pin-pointing of
the best spots is futile be-
cause you can find good-to-
great fishing anywhere on the
Island. After all, the Pacific
Ocean surrounds the thing.
If you're in the Chem-
y afternoon, do
the MacMillan
e. It's

take you on an escorted tour,
and explain it. Or stop ia at
Bare Point nearby and the
engineers at the British Col-
umbia Hydro gas turbine gen-
erating station will show you
how they make 100,000 Kilu-
watts.

lum. Its worth a good visit,

and the children will love the
old machines, lovingly cared
for. This country was built on
logging and lumber, and this
1s the place to see now it was
in the old days.

Then back to the Trans-
Canada Highway, and drive
on. to Nanaimo, once a’ Hud-
son’s Bay post in the wild
days; Its main attraction is
the Bastion, a long fort-like
tower and it’s a museum too.

through Qualicum Beach,
boating, fishing,
sunning, a perfect playland
for children. Same goes for
Qualicum Bay, and Bowser,
and Deep Bay, Fanny Bay,
Royston, Cumberland, which
is an historic coal mining
town, and then Courtney.
Drive into “he Forbidden Pla-'

RAW FLAX, which in the early days of th
Doukhobor communities here a pats and
then woven into everlasting linen, is shown
by Mrs. Polly Semenoff of Ootischenia. In
‘her hand she holds enough flax to eventual-
ly produce a half yard of linen. In the 1920's
flax was sown and grown locally in the fields
of the communities. When it grew to ap-
proximately two feet in height it was pulled

from the ground, root and all, and tied into
sheaves. These sheaves were soaked in trou-
ghs of water for two weeks and were then
put out in the hot sun to dry. In the drying
process the flax would be turned numerous
times. Once dry, the flax was beaten ‘to re-
move straw and chaff. It was then ready for
spinning. — Castlegar News Photo
