(Part II)
ft's a free country. That's
why I shrugged my shoulders in
that Ottawa camp and told my
hippie neighbor I could hardly
care less if he "tagged along" to
the changing of the guard with
And I didn't really care, I had
heard there were so many people
on an average summer morning
out front of the parliament
buildings that you could scarcely
move. One or two hippies on my
tail would certainly go
unnoticed, I reasoned.
The drive to the parliament
buildings along the Ottawa River
was very pleasant. Except for
our two rather strange friends
who kept darting in and out of
traffic in their somewhat rattley
car, we felt quite assured and
proud.
About the only place to park
the car was in a public parking
lot. The cost was $1.25.
"We'll lose them now for
sure," I whispered to my
husband. "They will never be
able to turn up enough scratch."
(Whoops, I thought, I've caught
their terrible language!)
Wrong again. The boys
merrily pulled into the parking
lot and gingerly paid the
attendant the fee. •
We started out for the six
block stroll to the parliament
buildings. The lads were
nowhere in sight until we hit the
huge lawn in front of Canada's
government house. Suddenly
they were right behind us,
I looked at them almost
unbelieving. Standing there with
uS were two fairly respectable,
well-groomed young men. They
told us they had changed their
clothes before attending such an
important ceremony.
Sure, the beard and the long
hair was the same but somehow
they looked tidy. I was
genuinely surprised.
We took the tour through the
parliament buildings. The boys
said they were going to browse
through some art galleries and
meet us back at the camp about
lunch time.
Sure enough, at noon the
fellows were back at camp with
their grocerieS a case of diet
pop, a can of soup, a can of
milk, a jar of sandwich Bpread, a
shaker of pepper and a loaf of
bread.
I had pork chops cooking on
the stove. Along with potatoes,
peas, salad and butter tarts for
dessert, it was a pretty
substantial meal.
The boys sat quietly while we
finished our meal,
"Have you guys eaten?" I
called across the gap.
"Oh sure," they chorused.
"Would you like something
else?" I asked.
"Only if it is going to waste,"
said one.
That was the beginning of a
beautiful friendship. The boys
sat round our table and gave us a
good lesson on that oid adage,
"Don't Judge A Book \ By The
Cover!"
That afternoon they took the
kids swimming. One of the boys
was a former lifeguard and he
took time out to give my son a
few swimming pointers.
At dinnertime that evening,
they ate their meagre supper
which was bolstered by tidbits
from our table and some morsels
from the pantry of our Hamilton
neighbors.
Over a game of cards that
night we learned that both boys
had been raised in the heart of
Toronto, neither smoked or
drank (they didn't say whether
or not they had ever
experimented) and each one had
a profound respect for law and
order.
In the morning I didn't wait
to see what the boys would
break out for breakfast. I invited
them over for scrambled eggs,
toast and jam and coffee.
"We don't want to impose,"
they told me.
"You're not imposing," I
retorted. "Maybe someday
someone will feed my son when
he's a little short of cash. Maybe
it will even be you,"
