Travel tr I always used to 'believe that a . person should have everything planned out to the last'-detaill- before setting out on evacation. • But after my trip to Northern Ontario last week, I've completely given up on the idea. About a month ago I talked the_ editor into letting me have five days off for a trip to. White River to pick up my brother Charles, who has spent the summer at a forest ranger, and to just plain relax. A friend of mine, Robert Bray ;of Usberne Township, Volunteered to join'tne for the trip and we carefully laid out our route to the northland. We decided thetthe best way to go would be to' head up the Bruce Peninsula, take the ferry tq Manitoulin Island, and then catch the trans-Canada to WhiteeRiver and Sault Ste Marie, Robert . plartend what food we vvouldetake' with us and I figured ouewbat stops we would make for gas and where we would stay, TWO weeks before, we were fp leave it didn't seem possible that anything could' foul up our plans. We *ere wrong! The first disaster struck when my parents phoned me to tell me that Charles had just left to fight a forest fire. He couldn't say when he would be bdcleer even where he was going for that matter: But we were to come on ,up 'Jett the sanie to pick up his belongings and bring them home. Right then I knew the trip was Happy Citizens. Comrade Ella Munro gave sports report. There is a bowling tournament at Braneh-„180• Wingham Oct. 6th. $12. was' sent to Goderich for Zone Darice.Vb-ur lathes are,: being sent' to' Windsor to. the Auxiliary Convention. Nine comrades . received their, service medals, prsented by Comrade Thorndiloa and Legion. President Tom Wilbee. The Meeting Was adjourned and a pet luck supper was_eerved by September Itinch cemthittee. would be there when we got there. We decided to travel thrtnIgh Michigan and cross into Canada at Sault Ste Marie. Once we got moss the border at Pert Huron we spent our first" hour jtist trying to find a map of the State so we could getstarted, After we found one our luck seemed, to t. ake a change in direction. . We actually made it all the way there without getting too lost and without losing a tire. On top of that my brother• was sitting there waiting, freshly back from getting his fill of eating smoke. Maybe, this holiday is going to be alright after all 1 thought • The next day bright and early we started "White for a day of canoeing up White Lake. The scenery was magnificent! About 'seven miles later I was commenting to Robert how great it was to literally get away from everyone. But . I had spoken too soon. Out of nowhere. came this motor boat roaring up the lake on a course that would nicely ch op our canoe in half. I suggested to Robert that it might be' a good idea to paddle to the right. But just as soon as we had managed toset ourselves reasonably out OT., the' way, the motor boat changed directions again, straight for us. With more' than a little panic :we changed course again and so. did the intoor boat. For a second it looked like it was all over for us when Robert let a scream' out of -him ahat-would ha've_put_Tarzae •to_ shame. The boat veered missing us by less than ten feet. After making a few comments about t driver's parentage that niy mother would not have been proud of, we decided that the best place for us was dry land. `But the land didn't stay dry very long., The area hadn't. received any rain for six weeks, CNIB seeks contrilktiens in f .the Blind is underwaf in ' Seaforth • and area according to.
