VISITORS THRILL 5BRITISH COLUMBIA APPROACHES '.("iS" is the sixth in a series of articles :by Mr. and Mrs. E. A. vga4eS, Hensall, of places they • vvIisiting,-y W 'IC#t San Jose at 8 a.m. for Vanegtiwver, B.C., April 2, via High - wag 101, our first stop being h"tisco, and left there by Sceni- eruiser at 9:45 over the Bay Bridge Which connects Oakland with 'Frisco. This bridge, consisting of two decks (one for cars on top, the lower one for buses and trucks) is 81 miles long -41 miles of the span is over water, 519 feet above the water at its highest point, It took 207,000 tons of steel and 118,000 gallons of paint for the bridge. Oakland is a large manufactur- ing city with highways that run in every direction, up and over, round and under. We took No. 80 High- way (eight lanes) until we came to a small town of Richmold. Our intentions were to take the ex- press, as it goes more direct, but it being such a lovely day, and what is three hours when we could see more country; so we turned off at Richmold and soon were heading for the hills, went over quite a large river with a sugar refinery on one side and an oil refinery on the other, with large tanks on the side of the hill. We stopped for 10 minutes at Valler's, the home of the Mare Island navy yard. California poppies were growing wild on the side of the mountains, and shortly we were passing through lovely flat farm- lands, with peas in blossom, bar- ley and wheat in head and alfalfa cut, well -tended orchards. Two things I never found out were: How do they pick all this fruit down here? And why is it more expensive than at home? 'The 64 dollar question! Next town was Woodlands, where there were feed mills, elevators, farm implements, etc. In the dis- tance we saw the Sierra Moun- tain Range with snow on the peaks. Little did we think that in about two hours we would be going .around the summit and looking up at the snow, but before that hap- pened the country got more roll- ing in contour, with many sheep. In a little valley we saw olive groves and orange groves, with oranges still on the trees; roadside stands where they sold oranges and mountain honey. I should like to have stopped. Red Bluff was next, and right on the main street was a fire truck painted white, with Red Bluff Fire Department painted on the side in red letters. From there on it was rough and hilly lumber yards and plywood factories aplenty. We had a 45 - minute stop at Redding. We were ascending the range we had seen in the 'distance and away below was beautiful Lake Shasta with red sandstone border and pine trees growing up the sides. Truly a beautiful sight ! Railway tracks that wound along the bottom of the hills and through tunnels seemed so small, I thought they must be miniatures, but far- ther on we saw a normal size freight train. By this time we were very close to the mountains and a place named Castle Crag, where there is a ski lodge I was told when we stopped at Duns - mere. Logging and lumbering is their line of work, but it has been so wet the past few weeks up there that business is slower. It was 6:15 p.m., and words cannot do justice to the beauty we saw. I shall never forget it. After crossing into Oregon at 8 p.m., we stopped for 20 minutes in Medford. By 9 I was very tired. At 5:15 the following morning we arrived in .Portland, where we stayed for one hour until the bus was serviced. We crossed the state line into Washington, the Columbia River being the dividing line. At Portland, we had chahged from the bus to the express as we did not want to be too late at night getting into Vancouver. The coun- try was very rough and rugged, much like North Bay district. Stop- ped briefly at -Olympia, the capi- tal of Washington State, passed Fort Lewis Army base, stopped at the City of Tacoma for passen- gers. There are many hills as in Frisco, and it was raining as we passed Seattle -Tacoma Airport; farther on, the Boeing Air Flight Centre. Our next stop was Seattle, a large city of 600,000 population, I was told. We spent 15 minutes in Bellingham, but the country there is nothing to write home about. The rain had stopped, but had be- come quite windy and cool—cold, I should say. Blaine was -our stop to pass through the customs into B.C. Soon we crossed the 'Fraser Riv- er into New Westminster, through Barnable, where a sign said: popu- lation 10,000. At 4 p.m. we ar- rived in Vancouver -32 hours from California, to quite a different climate-. We registered at the St. Regis Hotel and had a good night's sleep. Next day we went sight- seeing and looking the place over, thought if I liked it I might buy it, but didn't like it well enough. We went through the Hudson Bay store and someother large stores, starting about 8:30 a.m. The sun was shining, so after lunch we went to Stanley Park and spent a nice afternoon. This park covers about 125 acres; some in its na- tural state, fenced off; nice drive- ways around and through it; a zoo with a lot of animals, birds, seals, pelicans and penguins that stand up straight asleep, looking for all the world like old men! A bronze monument stands in the park with the following inscription "To the use and enjoyment of people of all colors, creeds and customs, for all time, I name this Stanley Park. Lord Stanley, Governor-General, October 1889." The Lion's Gate Bridge, which joins the north shore of Vancou- ver to the island, is to our left. The mountains still have snow on the peaks and we are very close to them (the mountains). We took a walk around by the docks where there are ships of all sizes—ocean- going and coastal. Looks like rain and when it does it rains for weeks, o tomorrow morning we had bet- ter take off for Alberta. Bridegroom: "I'm beginning to think your mother takes a dim view of me.

FOOD and FIXIN'S Recipes For the Busy Homemaker BRIDAL RING FOR SPRING Spring is an especially popular season of the fear for bridal show- ers. And today's recipe for Orange Blossom Ring will add appropri- ate interest and goodness to any shower or tea table.

In today's recipe for Lemon Pan Buns, this golden citrus transforms plain yeast buns into a scrmptious treat that can be served for breakfast and snacking, or tucked into a cor- ner of the lunch box. The buns are large and moist in texture with soft crusts. The crunchy lemon. - sugar topping,' sprinkled over the buns just be- fore baking, accentuates the flavor of the lemon rind in the dough.
