To get an update on the area, the writer. recently spent some time in Barbados, St. Vincent and Grenada. Barbados is the perennial holiday island with visitors from Europe mingling with Canadians and to a lesser degree residents of the U.S.A. Barbados has a selection of hotels suitable to all tastes arid pocket books. Canadian can watch for a selection of holi- day packages this coming winter, for real bargains, con- sider November or even early January, Many people visiting Barbados do not realize how close they are to St. Vincent. Known as the Tahiti of the Atlantic. Twenty five minutes by 48 seat prop jet brings you to enchanting St. Vincent. The first thing you will notice is the friendly smiling faces and beyond them the lush tropical hills. Incidentally, these hills rise gradually to the peak of Soufriere 4000 feet above the Caribbean. My hotel was Young's Island, a delightful island hotel based on a Tahitian village With full facilities including showers so designed that you feel you are showering in the open when in fact your privacy is complete amid the foliage. A lovely beach, tennis courts, a fine restaurant plus enter- tainment and a delightful pool make this a superb spot. Other lovely hotels include Ra-Wa-Cou, a cottage colony overlooking two black sand beaches on the windward Atlan- tic side, Grand View speaks for itself as does Blue Lagoon. 'Vvonette Beach ApartMents is owned and operated by a friendly Canadian. A nine hole golf course is .,surrounded by magnificent Scenery at "The Aquaduct". Accommodations are unique and spacious, it is possible to sit on your verandah and fish from a cool mountain stream while watching the play along the fairways. Watch for this resort to expand, including a further nine holes. The Club House serves delicious local curries and has a swimming pool. St. Vincent also offers The Botanic Gardens reputed to be the oldest in the Western Hemisphere. Fort Charlotte 600 feet over the capital of Kingstown has the history of the island, in paintings on the walls. The interior of St, Vincent offers the IvIarrianna and Mesopotamia Valleys, intensely cultivated with bananas, nutmeg, cocoa, coconut and bread- fruit, it must be said however, that St. Vincent is the water lovers paradise with every water Sport available, and for the yachtsman, this northernmost island, of the Windwards is the ideal point to sail through the magnificent Grenadines to Grenada, but more about this next week.

Such communication, ac- cording to Miss Armitt, is best conducted through humor. "If we can laugh together, so much tension would go out of life," she said. Miss Armitt told the gathering that there was humor all around if they would listen for it. "The only way to enjoy true humor," she said, "is to listen to what"s going on around you," During the banquet the Children's Aid Society honored a number of its long term foster parents and volunteers.

The county has contributed half the maintenance costs on the clocks since they were in- stalled on the building. Total cost of the repair and replacement work will be $2900.

At present, Huronview is full to_capacity with a waiting list of between 30 and 40 persons, Council was also told that the staff time in having the work done, The planning department felt' that the equipment could be used " extensively in copying maps in connection with SecondaryPlans for municipalities.
