Some of them are beginning to sound like agencies, with frequent an­ nouncements over the P.A. system: “Will the group going to Rome in the winter break please assemble in Room 202 at 3.30 for a lesson in tying your toga.” “All those taking the Venezuela trip are requested to see Mr. Vagabond in room 727 at 3.15 today.” “Those who are involved in the spring break trip to the Canary Islands should have their passports by March “There will be a meeting today in Room Quatorze for all students going to the Quebec Winter Carnival. No separatists, please.” “An urgent meeting will be held today for those who plan to take the London-Paris trip during spring break. All seats are now filled. If enough are interested, we’ll hire another plane.” It fairly makes your head swim, especially when your own idea of a trip south is 100 miles to the city for a weekend, a trip west means a visit to great-grandad, and a trip east means you’re going to a funeral or a wedding among the relatives. Next thing you know, this travel binge will bulge over into the elementary schools, and great 747- loads of little shavers from Grade Eight will be descending on the un- r suspecting residents of Hong Kong and Rio de Janeiro. Lord help them. The residents, not the kids. Perhaps this sounds like sour grapes. Well, it is. As Shaw said: “The trouble with youth is that it is wasted on the young.” And as Smiley says: “The trouble with travel is that it is wasted on kids who don’t know a Grecian urn from an Italian pizza.” Oh, it’s not that I haven’t travelled. I’ve been to Great Britain. And spent two years staggering around in the blackout or wading through the torrential rains of bonnie Scotland. I’ve been to France. Slept five weeks in a tent in an orchard in Normandy. Been to Belgium. Antwerp; buzzbombs. Know Holland well. Spent two weeks locked in a box-car in a railway siding at Utrecht. Am intimately acquainted with Germany. Was bombed in Braunsweig and Leipzig, and spent a delightful six months in salubrious Pomerania, as a guest of the Third Reich. Oh, I’ve been around all right. But somehow it wasn’t quite the same. Rattling through Deutschland on a train with a 10-day stubble of beard on your chin and a tag-end of sour black bread stuffed into your battledress blouse is not quite similar to climbing aboard a 747 with your tote-bag and waiting for the stewardess to bring your first meal. Would I trade? Not on your life. hands; Agnes Davis - low; Earl Stephen - low; Philip Hern - travelling hand.

The story indicated the ministry of health provides a per-diem rate of $9.85 for each resident, plus providing them with food, clothing, drugs and cigarettes. In fact, the cost of food is paid by Braemor Manor out of the per-diem rate. We would also like to note that we have operated Braemor Manor for 10 years, not the ei’ght as mentioned in the article.
