heart-achingly beautiful
natural view. :

I first laid eyes on the
fabulous inlet in 1974, when
my wife and 1] took our
maiden voyace with our own
boat. .

It was the end of Sep-
tember, too late in the
season: ‘for-any no to be
arotind:; “The only fishing
boats: ‘to be ‘seen were
hurrying’ home before the
onset’ of winter. Everyone
was heading south. We were
the only ones beading north.

Entering Jervis Inlet, we
left. the regular lanes of
traffic behind. Clouds closed
in, laying a leaden ceiling

* Some landscapes have the
power to'lift your : mind right
- gut of its everyday groove,
to unleash in you that grand -
emotion summed up in the
tiny word “awe”.

In, her classic 1968 book,
The Curve of Time, M.
Wylie Blanchet made a stab
at describing Louisa:

“The inlet is about five
miles long, a third of a mile
wide, and the mountains that
flank it on cither side are
over a mile high ... You can

each, it -will:be;as it was for

me, a pleasure beyond

In ‘the case of Princess
Louisa Inlet, I would go a
step further and say that the

- place should be preserved

for its own sake, in the sense

- that.some things ‘should be »

treated as though they were
sacred.

If they have the magical
ability to lift’ us above
ourselves, they should be
treated, at the very least, as
special.

.Oh, by the way, Mac-
Millan-Bicedel wants to log
the place. That's right. Strip

the tree-cover away like a... ,

hide. Desecrate the temple.

What feeling would we get

out of Princess Louisa after

the logging was dane?
Despair, I expect. Emp-
tiness.

Is there room in your
home for a foreign
summer student?
Enjoy a fantastic cultural

experience in your own home - with all
expenses paid ($300 per student).

About 200 Mexican and Japanese junior high and high school students
will visit the North Shore very soon as part of an international cultural
exchange. The students will be here to learn about British Columbia,

meet Canadian people and study English. They will be visiting in several
groups, staying for 4 to 6 weeks each.

The first group arrives on July 2, the second group on July 8 and the
third on July 11. They have English classes at a local school from Mon-
day to Friday and organized activities in the afternoons. Many families

on the North Shore have decided to host one or 2 students and are now
looking forward to their arrival.

But we still need more homes.
