Shob- brook. No! I haven't been away on another holiday I've been having a work break! It seems to me that a farmer works time and a half for a couple of weeks before he leaves on a holiday and then repeats the procedure for a couple of months after he gets home. Now I will proceed to take you along with us from Pentic- ton. As we turned westward, we were into the mountains again but the driving was better and the turns not so sharp or steep. The scenery was really beautifull but by now was get- ting monotonous. The weather was good with cloudy periodsi had the windshield wipers going briefly several times during the afternton showers but strangely the pavement didn't seem to get wet. Ap- parently the rain evaporated very rapidly on hitting the road. We soon entered the Fraser Valley which is somewhat wider than the Okanagan but shorter. Crops seemed better and more like this area. We arrived in Vancouver just before dark and had a little dif- . ficAty„gektiriva aan9„tel room.. The following morning, I had the unpleasant duty of getting replacements for the two rear tires which had developed separation blisters the day before, To say the least I was unhappy about it, The tires were new before we went to Texas in the spring school break and I had replaced one rear tire (about 4,000 miles) for the same reason when we arrived home. At Vancouver, the one rear had gone about 4,000 miles and the other something less than 10,000, On figuring out what the replacements cost me I found it was $46.00. For- tunately, the front ones have ' caused no trouble. They are supposed to be top quality radial tires and they weren't over loaded or under inflated. Apparently the torque on the back wheels was too much for them2They seem to be doing okay now but on checking the air pressure recently I discovered that the district distributer in Vancouver had increased the pressure to 35 lbs. (7 lbs, above the recommended level) so I guess I wasn't the only one having trouble. We visited with a cousin of mine who took us on a tour of Stanley Park and I realized a childhood dream by seeing the tree that was pictured in the Geography with a model T Ford parked within its hollow stump. We crossed over to Victoria to visit with friends and relatives. We stayed for the night with a friend who hap- pens to be a fishing enthusiast, Since we weren't staying for dinner, it was immediately • ecrees that we would have salmon steak for breakfast - somewhat unusual but it was delicious, made even more so by the fact that our host had hooked it himself, On our way back to the ferry we spent an hour or two touring the Butchart Gardens. We could easily have spent a day. The flowers were really wonderful and the lay-out most interesting. Back to Vancouver, retracing our way to Hope and then north through a whole new set of mountains with few steep grades and sharp bends, we spent the night at a motel at Cache Creek where rooms were a little hard to find in the evening. An early start through the mountains which were becoming less rugged and inter- spersed here and there with areas of small ranches and bush where we saw an elk and a deer near the road. On to Prince, George where we camped for lunch in a town camp ground with excellent facilities and on to Dawson Creek for supper making it to Grande Prairie, passing a moose, before dark. Continued next week I hope. , The president, Mr. Hobson, opened the September meeting of the Clinton Senior Citizens Club in the Town Hall with the singing of the Queen and prayer.
