Airborne pollen can mean hours of suffering. To reduce exposure to allergens here are a few helpful hints. Humid weather and evenings are usually a more comfortable time as a great many plants discharge their pollen in the morning and on dry days. Avoid wash that is hung outside as damp material will trap pollens. Outside pets will often carry pollen in their coats. If, in spite of all precautions, an aller- gic reaction occurs, remember that there are numerous medicines available that can offer 'relief.

Susan is on vacation so have been trying to take over her duties, including this week's column, while she is away. When I walked into the office last Monday Morning, it's a good thing that Sue had left ten pages ,of detailed instructions on what to do because my mind was far from the office. Something would always 'happen' to remind me of the past wonderful week I'd spent in Texas with my parents and younger sister, Gayle. Dad has some old friends who live in El Paso, Since we hadn't seen them for several years our family was anxious to go. But trying to arrange the timetables of six people isn't easy. The only time seemed to be the second week in July and then Cathy and Doug started summer jobs so they had to stay home. ' When the four of us boarded the plane in London the temperature was 68. When we arrived in El Paso we were greeted with 105 degrees of good old Texas sun- shine. It was almost enough to send us northward again. But the humidity is extremely low and everything is air- conditioned so you soon get used to it. How people used to survive down there before the age of refrigeration is beyond me. The absence of green can also be a bit depressing to one used to the abundant foliage of Ontario. But only if you let it. The sand, rocks and desert plants provide distinctive hues of their own beauty. What appealed to me was the vastness of the landscape. Because of the arid conditions, cities and towns are many miles apart and there is very little in the way of civilization that falls between them. I remember standing on a hilltop one morning outside the city of Carlsbad. Looking out I could see hundreds of square miles of empty land, with only the narrow grey ribbon of highway to mar it. _White Sands National Monument, just north of El Paso in New Mexico, can also provide pviews. As - yOu ` -drive t war:014V afea7,it lcleks like a. narrow white collar around the bhse of the San Andres Moun- tains. Great sand dunes of brilliant white gypsum flow in uhdisturbed waves for 230 square miles. We had a picnic on the dunes and watched the moon come up. That sight itself was almost Excho.nge vows in Zurich • worth the whole trip. During the week we made other excursions to see tourist at- tractions like Carlsbad Caverns, also in southern New Mexico. We took the complete three mile walking tour down tricky narrow and rocky trails into the dim caves where unusual rock formations adorn the floors and ceilings. At the halfway point was a lunch room, located in a large cavern 750 feet below the surface. The short rest was appreciated. But eating fried chicken in the cool damp of an underground cave was a novelty that kept our minds off aching feet. The last half of the tour went through what is simply called the Big Room. The word big doesn't begin to describe the size of that cavern. We walked slowly, trying to see everything as we craned our qatoottileat Despite the cool wind last Monday afternoon, many of the residents were able to enjoy the Band Concertat the second storey windows with about 60 others on the west lawn. The regular "Family Night" program was held on Tuesday evening this week to ac- commodate a visit by a group of young musicians from the Toronto area. These young people are working under a Government sponsored program, Music Concepts Workshop, and have entertained a variety of audiences in South Western Ontario. Members of the band are Mike Ross, Bob McNiven, Ian Mac- Dougall, Vince Brady, Jack Welbloom, and Mike Burnstein. Nineteen residents attended the Octogenarian picnic and program at the Anglican Parish Hall at Goderich on Wednesday. Everyone reports a most en- joyable afternoon with the McMillan Family, talents from the Goderich Psychiatric Hospital and others providing the program followed by refresh- ments and a social hour. Mrs. Mary Johnson 99 and Mr. Walter Kingswell 95 of the Home are the eldest lady and gentlemen members but just didn't feel able for the trip. Many thanks go to those responsible for the get- together as well as the gentlemen who provided the transportation. necks upward to see the Giant Dome or looked down into the depths of the Bottomless Pit. The explorers who named the natural rock shapes certainly had imagination to come up with Bashful Elephant, the Boneyard, Frustrated Lovers, Quenn's Draperies or Baby Hippo. On one afternoon we hopped in the car and drove across the border into Juarez, Mexico to visit the market place. Stepping into the midst of all that noise, confusion, smells and colors was like entering another world. It was a souvenir hunter's paradise. We spent three hours walking down narrow aisles looking at the merchandise. There were paintings, onyx carvings, bright paper flowers, glittering jewellery, woven blankets, embroidered shirts, sweet, sticky cactus candy, red chili peppers, serapes, sombrero's and hand- crafted leather, And while you try to make up your mind, eager Mexican merchants are at your elbow, encouraging you with their offers and always willing to show you something else. It only took a few minutes for the word to go out that the girl with the funny accent was looking for a purse. The battle was on to see who would finally sell me., one at the best price. With great determination I refused all offers until one cooperative woman offered to sell me one for six dollars ( the original price being 12), As I walked away clutching my treasure, I didn't know whether to feel like a victor or a cheap heel. But bargaining is a way of life to those Mexicans. I heard the tale of one old man who would spit in your face and put the object back on the shelf if you offered to pay his price without haggling first. The hospitality and friendliness we encountered during that week were a great temptation to prolong our visit. Even though for the most part, the people were ignorant about Canada they plied us with questions. One girl said that every time she thought of Canadians she thought of "good" things like providing aid to needy countries. As is usually the case when you are having a good time, it's over too soon. So with that famous phrase, "Yawl come back now", ringing in our ears, we boarded the plane for home.
