Brussels Legion Pipe Band Drum Major Tom MacFarlane had the
honour of leading a combined Brussels-Clinton Pipe Band which
entertained the crowd at the Goderich docks while they waited for a
visit from Prime Minister Brian Mulroney last Thursday. It was the
first time most of the band members had performed before their
nation’s chief executive officer.

Mrs. Winona Martin has return
ed from a 23-day tour via London to
eight European countries and
Asia Minor. Owing to an air strike
all plane departures and arrivals
were late.
There were two parallel buses
with 35 persons aboard on each
travelling together. Arriving in
Munich, Germany the group tra
velled through Germany, Austria,
Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey in
Europe and Asia Minor, Bulgaria,
Romania, Hungary and again
Austria and Germany. It was
eventful and interesting to see the
different cultures of each country;
the methods of farming mechaniz
ed or ancient, oil wells, mines,
factories, religions, old 15th cen
tury buildings, cathedrals and
monasteries, forts, even peasant
wagons, drawn with horses or oxen
and water buffalo.

The food was very different. One
evening 60 percent of the group
was poisoned with contaminated
food. The cure for this and dy sentry
was to eat rice only.
The weather was extremely
warm, so warm in Greece, 114
degrees F., that the Acropolis was
closed on account of several deaths
there a few days previous.
The mountain and valley scen
ery was exotically beautiful with
“thousands” of acres of grain,
vegetables, golden sunflowers and
fields of only cattle or sheep etc.
The communist countries had
some community farming with
many men and women working
together in large groups. This
system goes on for five to seven
years. In Romania the people have
not tasted meat for six months or
more.
The highways travelled were
excellent, but some countries had
only one with the rural areas
having only dirt roads. There is no
speed limit but the bus drivers
were fined three times. The group
had cruises on the blue Danube and
the Strait of Bosphorus. There
were nine or 10 optional tours and
cruises that were rather costly. In
some cities where the evening
meal was not provided, group
members went out to clubs which
put on a show of gypsy music, belly
dancing, and opera with wonderful
music but we couldn’t understand
the words in the solos, duets, etc.
The border crossings were very
thorough on both leaving one
country and entering the next
country. The tourists’ passports

were scrutinized thoroughly. Sev
eral places the people in cars had to
put every item on large tables to be
examined. The buses opened their
storage doors to see no one was
under the luggage, and even
mirrors looked under the bus.
Soldiers with guns on their shoul
ders were everywhere.
All in all, it was a very educative
trip seeing how other people lived
and survived.
