PENPAL VISITS FROM ENGLAND — Barb
Watts of Brussels is currently enjoying a visit
- from Joan Perry, her penpal of 32 years from ,
England and Mrs. Perry's family. ,,

st.
when she met Barb, it was as
though her penpal was a
neighbour who had just
walked up, the street. ,

When Barb visited Eng- car hits po l e land, she was -impressed by
the historic old buildings and
thatched roof homes (which
the 'English take for granted)
and when the Perrys visited
Canada they were impressed
by the lovely scenery. (which,
we take for granted).
NIAGARA AT NIGHT
One . of the highlights
P
Hydro was off in Brussels
for about an hour and a half
on Sunday night following an
accident in which a. car hit a
hydro pole.
The disruption in hydro at
approximately 7:30 p.m.
resulted after an insulator
broke and the wires wrapped
together and blew the three
fuses, according to local
councillor Malcolm Jacobs.
No further information was
available on the accident at
press time.

every year since then.
GOT ALONG WELL.
The Watts had a few
problems when they mad e
their trip to England. They
told Joan's husband Geoff
they would be arriving
September 6, but because of
the time change they didn't
arrive until September 7 so
Geoff was kept waiting, at, the
k airport all 'day.There were,
however, no problema with
they're waiting to see is the
lights at night on Niagara
falls. So far they have been
to see Lake Huron at God .
erich which they thought was
4 "lovely"and were planning,
to visit Ottawa Valley, Upper
-1 Canada Village, go on a
' Thousand Islands cruise and
to. Old Fort, Henry in King-
ston. They also saw Canada's
version of Stratford-upon-
, Avon.
I One of the things the
English visitors most wanted
. to see, however, was an
Indian or at least a chance to
look at an Indian artifact like
a headdress. The Watts
planned to take them to the
Six Nations Indian Reserve
near 13rantford.
Although .Barb and M
went to England by them-
selves, the Perrys have
brought two of their children,
Angela and Sarah, with them
and they are getting on quite
well With the Watts children.
The penpal friendship bet-
ween their mothers has also
inspired Angela Perry and
Ruth Watts to write back and
forth now.

rows and their roads twist

AT MCDONALDS •
A milkshake at McDon-
alds was another treat since
not so much goes into the
, making of a milkshake in
England and Joan intends to
take back, jars of marshmal-
low used in the making of
sundaes since they don't
have anything like that in
England either. Mr. Perry
said places like McDonalds
also give more variety to
choose from than they would'
' get back home
Asked' to pinpoint4he one
thing they have enjoyed most
about their stay so far, the
Perrys said, "the quietness--
no traffic, no trains (going
past the house)".
At home they have army
'a ircrafta ' flying over their
house since they live in the
path of the North Sea Patrol,
In England they still retain
vivid memories' of the Second.
World War as many of the
houses were bombed. The
army is still' very active in
England today.
The Perrys would like to
,come back, to Canada to,
experience a Canadian
Christmas—meaning a
"white Christmas." Mean-
while though, the Perrys who
arrived August 4, are at the
Watts home for a three week
visit. •

Sugar and spice
By Bill Smiley
Continued from page 2
Australia. My aunt didn't want it.
This hasn't much to do with going to see
'my kid brother, but I 'still think, that he
thinks he got screwed (he was in Paris at
the time) on the family split-up, and covets
the hand-carved stool my Dad made, which
I traded off for an upright piano of dubious
vintage. Maybe not. ,
Maybe he just wants to see me. Maybe
he wants 'to apologize for all the dines he
trailed me all over town when I was seven
and he was five. 'I would first hiss at him ,
then shout at him, to go home. He'd hang
on, a block behind, crying like a fire siren,
stubborn' as a hound following a fox.,
He's challenged me to a game of golf.
This is quite understandable. It fits the
pattern. I could always beat him at
everything, and he wants the masochistic
satisfaction of being trounced once more,
before he retires'to that wonderland of golf
where everybody takes a, Mulligan, every-
body rides an electric cart to the next hole,
and everybody discusses every shot at the
19th hole.
On the other hand, maybe he wants to
talk about all that money I borrowed from
„ .
'him when he had a paper route and I was a
— well, a sort of freelancer.
Every Saturday night, I used to lock him
in the bathroom and freelance about
two-thirds of his weekly take, so I could go'
to the movies.
Saw him in Germany a few -years ago,
and he was still keeping track. He figures I
owe, him 28 thousand, , 500 and' some
dollars, with compound interest. .,
Perhaps he just wants to remind me of
all the girls he has taken away from me,
Enter the years. He never took anyone of
real consequence; but he took some very
fine prospectives.
On the fourth hand, maybe he just wants
to rub it in to me that I'm a failure. He
retired as a Colonel •with a chestful of
medals. I quit as a Flight-Loot with four or.
five medals mouldering in the basement.
He has been at the beck and call of
generals, ambassadors, and such. He is
divorced - fashionable. am married
unfashionable. He in charming, multi-
lingual, has tasted the flesh-pots of
Europe. I am a typical suburban slob.
Or maybe the poor little fella just wants
to see the brother he used to pillow-fight
with, every Saturday morning.
When Barb was in Eng-
land she made some cabbage
rolls for the Perrys and so
Joan has treated the Watts
family to a meal of roast beef
and YorkShire pudding.
MORE OPEN SPACE
Some of the differences the
Perrys noted betvveen
Canada and England was
that there's more open
spaces, here and• that our
