The Huron Expositor, 1975-08-21, Page 11Driving through Roger's Pass or the
Fraser Canyon is an unforgettable
experience. Wooded slopes and rocky
peaks loom above the winding highway,
and rivers, fed by Falls from the snowy
summits, churn below.
Farther north, amid the green mountains
appear the Columbia Icefields. One of my
companions suggested a snowmobile ride
on the glacier. I glanced at my sandals and
said, "No way!"
When I saw the snowmobiles, though, I
changed my mind. Eor the information of
unknowing Easteners, of which I was one,
these snowmobiles look like a combination
of a bus and a Caterpillar. Most of them
carry ten passengers, and all of them are
1104V4v opo-TA,
In Mid-July, we travelled two miles over
snow and ice, peered down crevasses and
breathed crisp, fresh air. H ow we longed
for those icefields a few days later, when
we drove through Kamloops, B.C. The
temperature reached 105 degrees "F., and
the- brown hills reminded me of scenes
from western movies,
We Nially reached busy Vancouver and
promptly became lost. A gas pump
attendant observed our exasperated faces
and directed us to a park on English Bay,
which included a planetarium and
mariners' museum. "It's a good place to
relax and get your thoughts together," he
advised.
Later, we contacted friends who showed
us Gastown's cobblestones and unique
shops, Chinatown's lights, the huge Lion's
Gate bridge, :Stanley Park's ,lawns,
gardens and zoo and the harbours at night.
In the city, we noticed the absence of flies,
bugs and screen doors and windows. It
was heavenly!
You haven't experienced Vancouver
until you've heard some Indian legends, or
crept across a hispension bridge that's
by
Elaine Townshend
swaying above a gorge, or ridden up a
mountain road with a B.C. driver.
Early one morning we ferried across the
channel around the Gulf Islands to
Victoria. This city's leisurely pace
encourages tourists to take a walking tour.
Within a few blocks, we discovered a wax
museum, a, car museum, a provincial
museum, a marina, the elegant Empress
Hotel and the Parliament Buildings.
Several parks along the way provided a
respite for our feet.
The British influence is evident in the
architecture of many buildings and in the
presence of double-decker tour buses. We
spent another day strolling through
Victoria's famous flower gardens.
The interior of Vancouver Island shields
a virgin forest, in which no trees have been
cut. Firs, nine feet in diameter, stretch into
the sky. The branches cluster so densely
that little light filers through and no
vegetation grows underneath. Only pine
needles carpet the, ground.
To make our west-coast visit complete,
my friends and I waded into the waters of
the Pacific, Ocean. What a shock! By The
time we snapped one picture, our toes were
turning blue.
Of course, Canada has blemishes as well
as gdod points. Commercialism has spoiled
some of her natural beauty; forest fires
have scarred her mountains; cities contain
slums, which the tourists seldom see, and
in some places, integration is still
discouraged._
An Indian blockade temporarily closed
Geribaldi' Park, north of Vancouver, the
week before we-arrived. A riot erupted in
Naniamo the week after we left. Swift
Current's grandstand blew down a few
days after we sat on it to watch the
R,C.M.P, musical ride. Floods closed some
Saskatchewan highways shortly after we
drove through. Were we following
trouble, or -was trouble following us?"
I had heard about Canada's plains and
the Calgary Stampede, the mountains and
the blue Pacific, the bustle of Vancouver
and the relaxation of Victoria, but I had to
see them to believe them.
They comprise less than half of our
country. imagine what surprises the
Yukon, Northwest Territories, Quebec and
the Maritime provinces hold. This
summer's glimpse of Canada whet my
appetite to see more of her faces.

A CUP OF TEA ANYONE? — Joan Campbell, a
member of Seaforth's Horticultural Society, was one
I" of the-many members busy serving tea and cookies to
people who stopped for a snack before and after
viewing the Horticultural Society's Fourth Annual
Flower Show at SDHS Saturday afternoon, (Staff
' Photo)
The Nit that get away is e)elm
among fishermen, but among
horticulturalistS its equivalent is
the prize winning flower that\
somehow didn't make it to the
flower show.
In spite of the fact that some
claimed their best were at home,
Seaforth's Horticultural Society
"had about 300 colorful floral
entries in its annual show
Saturday.
Mrs. Margaret De Jong con-
vened the very, successful flower
show - Mrs. R. Moorehead of
Goderich, assisted by Miss L.
Johnston, judged the nearly three
hunred exhibits with Mrs. Mary
Haugh judging the children's
section.
Sandy Doig, a retired' farmer
and a member of the Society said:
"If everyone grew the flowers
they should, we could have a two
day show,"
Isabelle Scott, president of the
Society, said there were fewer
orflower show
entries this year, because the
number of categories were
,reduced,
This was done because last
year the flowers took too long ,to
judge and some categories didn't
have • any entries. There were
about 500 entries in last year's
show.,
The flower show began around
3 o'clock Saturday afternoon with
tea served by horticulture
members while the judging took,
place.
Mayor Betty C ardno officially
opened the show by saying she
was certain everyone appreciated
the flowers arranged by the
horticultural society in front of the
town hall.
Men were definitely in the
minority at ' the flower show
Saturday afternoon. One fifth of
the membership of the horticul-
tural society is male.
When asked if growing flowers
is considered "sissy"
retired farmer, Sandy Doig said:
"I like flowers, I don't see
anything sissy about carrying 150
wheel barrows of earth."
