Christmas, 1071 '
Dear Don , Bev, and girls
t .
Greetings from' Ghana
it's very difficult.to believe
-that Christmas is only two weeks
the Guelph tearii having been .
seconded to the University of
,Guelph= from the Ontario Depart.-
merit gricw r- a
a two-year period.. • The other
Guelph team members from Ont-
ario are John Burton, Jack Tanner
Doug Pletsch, Dr. Margaret Mc-
Cready and Noreen (Graham)
Galvin'. From 5aslidttlie,wari
we've Theodora Brice and 'Marie
Dunn and hot British Colurnbia ,
Dougall MacGregor, The ladies
are:in the Home Science Faculty
. and the men 'in Agriculture with
the exception of 'Dr. MacGregor
who headS the Food Science
Department.
We moved' directly into our five
room bungalow:which is located
on the, campus at Legon. Legon
is the university complex:,, not a
town ; and is situated on a hill;
abOlit ten Miles north of the heart
of Accra. All of the university
buildings are white, stucco With
red tile 'roofs. The grounds are
13eautifillly laid out with plenty
of formal gardens and' lily ponds,
The flowers and shrubs
are a constant riotof Colour.
Some have the moat tantalizing
perfumes while others are so,l__,LL
perfect they alinost loOk artifielab
Now that we have settled-in,
our life here is almost as
comfor able as it was in ,Canada .
We're e_toying the fresh irtuts.and
vegetables which are plentiful
and cheap. Since imported foods
are very expensive we try to use
as many local things as.' possible.
Here,. at the university, we're :in
the fortOnate position 'of being
able to buy eggs:poultry., pork,
sausag‘ meat and weiners, through
the Animal. Science Department
from the University research farm.
Although thievery is rartpant we
feel quite secure at legon. The
.university hire's one "night watch"
for' every four houses and our stew.
and keeps a close watch, on things
during the day. After nine o'clock
at night all the gates are closed
arid, must be opened by ,the guard
if you wish to go in or out. So
far We haven't had anything stol-
en'but we don't take any Chances:
We lock all the'doors and wind7
ows 'when we 'go out apd lock the
bedroom wing when we're in bed.
Even the closets have locks'.
In addition to our cook-steward,
we have a laundry' =boy' and a ,part'-
time gardener, 'Our cook-steward
