The Board has asked that signs be placed at the southerly end of the ball park in Belgrave at Highway 4 and at the south end of Jordan Drive which leads into the new subdivision. They are also seeking a parking sign to guide transportation behind the ball park. Concerning a separate letter from a concerned Belgrave citizen, Council is asking the Ministry of Transportation for approval to ex­ tend the current 60 kilometre speed limit in Belgrave for an additional 100 metres south of Parker Drive. Building permits were issued to Doug Fenton for a swimming pool, Robert Burchall for an addition to Travel brings new friendships Continued from page 4 that I could go up after lunch had been served. It goes without saying that lunch couldn’t come quickly enough for me: as soon as possible afterwards, I was up in the cockpit and spent over an hour up there, watching from 35,000 ft. as we left Italy behind us and crossed over into Greece. It turned out that the pilot was the same one that had flown me from Toronto to Zurich a couple of weeks earlier; we had a prolongd discussion about planes and flying in general and about our respective air forces. Then, so that I wouldn’t wear out my welcome, I thanked them for the hospitality and went back to my seat to wait for the arrival in Beirut. Before arriving I had another 15 minute chat with my newly found stewardess-friend and told her how much I appreciated her co-opera­ tion in arranging my visit to the cockpit. A propos of nothing in general, I asked her if she had ever been to Canada and she answered in the negative. I assured her that she would find it a very interesting country and, if she was ever in Toronto and had some extra time, she should give us a call. With that, she departed and I got ready to leave the plane. About three weeks later I got back home from the Middle East. My wife met me at the airport with her mother in tow; she had come to his home, Glen Golley for a trailer and addition, Ronald Jamieson for a storage shed, Elisabeth Groh for a storage shed, CKNX Broadcast­ ing for a new roof and walls on the existing building in addition to a storage shed, Paul Montgomery for a residence and the Belgrave Kinsmen for dugouts, and Ross Smith for a residence. A demolition permit was issued to Canadian Agra for two barns on Lot 31, Concession 13 and on Lot 38 of Concession 7. Council approved an application of severance for Pt. Lot 42 of Concession 14.

I was exhausted; I suffered from jet lag and all the other problems associated with travel but, on the way home, I managed to inform them both that I had invited a Swissair stewardess to come to visit us sometime. Since I had never done such a thing before, my wife considered it to be nothing more than a good joke. She laughed and we passed on to more important things. So did I and thus I was surprised about a month later when the phone rang. My wife answered it and informed me that it was some woman with a foreign accent who wanted me. I picked up the phone and heard a voice say, “Hello, this is Sylvia Kurth”. The name didn’t mean a thing to me but not wanting to admit it, I chatted with her and discovered that she had arrived in Toronto the evening before and was staying at the Royal York. I must have been really dense since it still didn’t click who she was until I realized that she was speaking with a Swiss accent. Then it occurred to me that she was my Swissair stewardess. I asked her what her room number was and told her I would call back.

I said to her, “Do you remember me telling you that 1 had invited a Swissair stewardess to visit us." “Yes,” she replied. “You were just joking, weren’t you?" “No,” I stated, “I really did and that was she.” To my wife’s credit, she didn’t panic or go into a snit but replied that we had better make arrangements to receive her. I called Sylvia back, told her what train to take and that I would meet her at the station. When I did, I noticed that she didn’t have any luggage. It turned out later that her supervisor had advised her against going since she wasn’t really sure if I was as advertised. When she saw that everything was in order, even to mother-in-law, she told us what her conversation with her supervi­ sor had been. My wife supplied her with a nightie, a tooth brush, etc. and she stayed until it was time to go back to the plane. If I remember correctly, my younger son was smitten with her and followed her everywhere. Sylvia is still a friend of the Canon family but I cut off my invitations to stewardesses. After all,' I was lucky the first time; the second time might not have worked out so well.
