Explorer: "Once when I was in the South African jungle I came across a tribe of wild wo- men who had no tongues." Lady listener: "Good gracious! How could they talk?" Explorer: "They couldn't. That's what made 'em wild." boxes that sat so long at the air- port warehouse going through customs. They really are the size of B 52 bombers and not very handsome. I must tell you about my re- cent experiences. Ray had gone to work and I went in the bedroom to get my purse. When I picked it up there was some- thing all curled up on the floor. After I calmed down, I went and took a closer look and it was a lizard. I didn't want to kill it, but I wasn't going to pick it up. I got the long hand- led sponge mop and chased it around the bedroom for 3/4 of an hour. Boy, do they ever move fast. Finally I got the tail, and it was flipping around in one corner while the rest of the lizard was still running around. After I got the lizard, I went back and killed the tail, I guess I'm really cruel, but I sure was in a panic. We expect to be taking our holidays from August 15th to Sept. 15th so we will be able to see you then. Ray has been working quite hard here. He starts at 8 a.m. and sometimes gets home for supper about 8 p.m. It makes quite a long day. However, this is the busy season until the end of March here, so he hasn't got too long to go. He is real- ly gaining experience, al- though the language barrier makes it difficult. We haven't started our Span- ish classes yet, but are finding you pick up new words and phrases every day. When I first went shopping I took my Span- ish dictionary and it took me hours to get the groceries. I know the main foods now but still have fun figuring out the directions. Sometimes we have the funniest tasting meals, and then I know I didn't trans- late properly. We are able to go to a restaurant now and make ourselves understood. At times it is very frustrating not being able to carry on a conversation with someone you meet. I must say we have done more smiling here. We have done quite a bit of travelling on week-ends, as another Canadian couple took us with them. One real nice spot is Los Caracas. It is a beach on the Caribbean Sea. The waves are huge there and the water is really salty. We've visited Valencia, Maracay, Porta Cabello, Colonia Tovar and La Victoria. The weather is just gorgeous, although it is quite warm from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The evenings are al- ways cool. You evenings are always cool. You never have to wonder what tomorrow will be like, as so far, each day is sunny and the same temp. There are a lot of differen- ces like the language, money is in bolivars, measurement in metres, and temperature in centigrade. Also when you move into an apartment there is nothing in the kitchen but a sink. You have to buy your kitchen cupboards and light fix- tures. It seems strange but when they move they take all the cupboards down. They have a polluted water problem in Caracas and you have to buy bottled water for drinking,etc. This is delivered in huge jugs once a week and you buy a cradle to place it on for easy pouring. Well, Ray bought a piano a couple of weeks ago and picked it out himself, It is a brand new one in dark wood and quite lovely. Every now and then he plays the Kinsmen Song and we both get homesick. Maybe we will both be able to give a concert by holiday time, We have a television, and get a lot of the same programs as you do. Only one thing wrong, -- they are in Spanish, It's quite amusing to watch Bon- anza, Lucy Show, the Fugitive, etc., talking Spanish. We just live for Friday and Saturday nights as they have an English movie on at 10 p. m. We've been to three shows here as they are in English with Spanish sub- titles. We saw, On The Beach, the Sound of Music and The Great Race. The traffic here is terrible. I've never seen so many cars and everybody is always in a hurry. They don't have stop signs, etc. You just drive right around corners and hope the other guy stops for you. I've seen about six cars at an inter- section all tangled up and they just weed themselves out. They even go through red lights and if you stop they all start honk- ing behind you. It sure is wild! Last Wednesday Ray came driving home in the car he bought. It is a 65 Hillman lmp, Sure is tiny and different to our other car. Before I'm able to drive I will have to learn the gears which are on the floor, as I learned on an automatic. It probably sounds funny, but we really miss winter. It seems strange to be January and warm weather. We especially miss curling. How did you do in the Hiram Walker? I imagine the Kin Pavilion James Gordon Mrs, John McGee, Minnie Street, and her nephew, James McBumey of Teeswater, recent, ly returned from Saskatoon where they went by train inJan- uary to attend the funeral of the former's brother, the late James Gordon. Born in 1883 at Langside, the son of the late Archibald and Isabel Gordon, he was well known in this district. Withhis two brothers, John and Angus, he left here in 1905 and pio- neered in the Broderick District. John and Angus and one sis- ter, Mrs. John (Mary) McBur- ,ney of Teeswater, predeceased him. He had never married. Besides Mrs. McGee, he leaves a sister, Mrs. Errol(Belle) Duncan of Outlook, Sask,; four nephews and one niece. The funeral was held from McKague's funeral home on January 14 to Hillcrest Memor- ial Gardens at Saskatoon, with Rev. M. Johnston of the Presby- terian Church there officiating. Mrs. McGee stayed for a few weeks at Outlook before return- ing home to Wingham. After listening to the stories told by drivers brought before him on traffic violation charges a New Zealand judge declared he has come to the conclusion that a traffic crash is a head-on collision between two stationary cars, each parked on its own side of the road. is still surviving. We haven't received any bulletins yet but I guess they are on their way, as it takes 6-8 weeks by boat. Well, when you have a min- ute we would be glad to hear from you, and the news of Wingham. Adios for now, Love Ray and Kathy. Coming Events Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hanula have received a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Ray Neal, former residents of Wingham. Mr. and Mrs. Neal moved to South Am- erica a few months ago, The letter follows: Apartado 1789, Caracas, Venezuela, January 31, 1966. Dear Shirley, Bill, Lynda & Debbie, Thank you for your letter dated January 2. I'm sorry I'm so long in answering but we have been in quite a mess. Our shipment from Canada didn't arrive until January 11, and the only clothes we had were a couple things we packed in our suitcases. The packers in Wing- ham told me our things would be waiting for us in Caracas, so I packed everything with them . We were very fortunate that a lady and a couple who live in our apartment building loaned us dishes, pots, linens, etc. However, we are now busy ar- ranging our things and doing a pile of washing and ironing. We finally saw our first cock- roaches. They were in our Wingham Advance-Timer, Thursday, Feb. 24, 1966 Page '1 Funeral Friday, Mrs. Jas. Michie Business and Professional Directory
