Canada's north- land, did you know that CBC's northernmost radio station is CHAK, Inuvik, north of the Arctic Circle, near the mouth of the MacKenzie River? Inuvik has a population of 3,500. During the summer it is accessible by water and air but during the, winter there is only one way into the town and that is by air. The CBC also provides a four-hour TV service .in this small ' northern community. fiat choicc i¢levirion FRIDAY.. LAWRENCE WELK 6:30 pm.

To each and all, whether they be jaded globetrot- ters i��,search of solitude or new sights, 'Or first trippers bent on convivial enjoyment in the sun, South Africa has a unique appeal. We found this intriguing count- ry to have a fascinating blend of the old and the new. Here in the great game sanctuaries, all the wild animals of romantic Africa roam free and unfettered as they did in. days gone by: Yet only a few hours' drive away are the skyscrapers of sophisticated cities offering all the amenities of the eastern world. In South Africa you will be ex- posed to spectacular beauty everywhere you go, so remember to bring your camera along. From the mellow beauty of this historic Cape and the verdant wealth of the Garden Route to the rugged grandeur of- the north- eastern Transvaal. From the re- sort -studded coastline of sup - tropical Natal and across the mighty Drakensberg to the roll- ing plains of the Orange Free State. From the picturesque Bantu villages where ancient tribal rites are still performed to the gold and diamond mines of a highly industrialized country. We entered South Africa by way of the Jan Smuts Interna- tional Airport between Johannes- burg and Pretoria. This is the Transvaal area and has an amaz- ing diversity of scenery and in- terest. From the rich farm lands of the west, to the Kruger Na= tional Park and the .Lowveld in the east, the landscape embraces a variety of patterns ranging from dynamic mountain 'ranges to gently rolling plains. Rivers casade through canyons as old as time, and in the game parks troops of antelope pause in their browsing to gaze at the passing motorist, safe in the ' knowledge that they are inviolate. The largest city and the com- mercial capital of the country is located here. Johannesburg has changed from a roistering mining camp into a metropolis within living memory, for it was aSire- cent as 1886 that two penniless prospectors inadvertently; 'stum- bled on an outcrop of the Main Reef, today the focal point of the richest goldfields in existence. Up to the present nearly 800,000,- 000 ounces of gold , worth about 13,500,000,000 (rand) havebeen extracated from the° gold fields, which are also some of the world's best sources of uranium. Johannesburg is an exciting city, possessing both an atmos- phere that stimulates and a brac- ing climate. It' is situated on the southern slopes of the Witwaters- rand, one of the most elevated spots in the Transvaal. There are hotels of international standard in the city as well as the suburbs, also many first-class restau- rants, many of which offer a su- perb cuisine. Some of the things to see and do in Johannesburg and which I would recommend are the follow- Bluevale The United Church Women of Bluevale United Church held a very successful bazaar with a large attendance on Friday after- noon. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Johnston and Mr, and Mrs: Mel Mathers have returned from a motor trip to Vancouver and western areas. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Elliott of London visited on Sunday with A. D. Smith at Wingham and Dis- trict Hospital and Mrs. A. D. Smith. `• Mr. and Mrs, Gerrond Duff of Cayuga and Mr. and Mrs. Donald Street of Listowel spent Thursday with Mrs. M. L. Aitken. Mr. and Mrs. Fraser Haugh and Eileen visited on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. West Haugh and girls in Turnberry. The Bluevale . Women's Insti- tute will hold its November meet- ing at the home of Mrs. Graham Campbell on November 8, at 8 p.m. ^ roc 'resolutions. Members are reminded of the fall tea and bazaar at Huronview that after- noon at 2 o'clock. Everyone is welcome to both meetings. Visitors with. Mrs. R. H. Mc- Kinnon, on Saturday were Mr. and Mrs. John K. MacTavish of Brantford. Euchre winners BELGRAVE — The weekly eu- chre was held in the community rooms with 14 tables in play. High prizes went to Mrs. Mar- garet Adams and Gene Porter; Mrs. William Eadie and Gordon Nicholson were low prize win- ners. Special prizes went to Mrs. William Taylor and Mark Arm -1 strong. ing. A tour of the Gold Mines is a must. Tours of surface and un- derground workings of one Or other of the mines are conducted on occasions throughout the year. If you wish to paricipate on one of these Tours you should apply 13- 14 weeks in adance as member- ship on these tours is limited. And then there's the Tibal Dances. The thousands of Bantu tribes- men from •all parts of South Africa who make up the bulk of the Witwatersrand gold mining industry's • labour force stage colourful inter -tribal dance dis- plays on most Sunday mornings at one or other of the various mine compounds. These dances have proved so popular that it has become necessary to issue tickets, free of charge from the enquiry counter of the Chamber of Mines Building during the week preced- ing the dance. These are only two of the many many attractions to see while in Johannesburg, there is much much more of course but space doesn't allow to say any- more at this time. Perhaps in the future we will write a column just dealing with this great city. Pretoria, South Africa's ad- ministrative capital, is a , quiet dignified city, historically linked with the stirring pioneer days of President Paul Kruger's Trans- vaal Republic. It lies in a fertile valley bounded on the south by a low range of hills and on the north by the Magaliesberg range. Outstanding features are its fine buildings, colourful gardens and tree -lined streets of which no less than 300 miles are planted with jacarandas. During the month of, October the mauve blossoms of these trees provide an unforgettable sight. While in Pretoria, make sure you visit the Paul Kruger House on Church Street West. This is a museum containing many of the President's personal possessions including his stage coach and private railway. coach. Another point of interest is the National Cultural History and 'Open Air Museum on Boom Street. Here you will find an interesting col- lection of Bushman paintings and• rock engravings as well as his- torip�aal material. There are many` more beautiful cities to visit in South Africa, howevegysiommipt,.proceed( to one ofthe most beautiful attractions of the Transvaal area and which in itself would make ;your trip to South Africa worth it all .. The Kruger National Park. The park covers an area of al- most 7,500 square miles and is one of the great game sanc. tuaries in the world. It preserves for future generations the rem- nants of what was once a vast company of African animals. To- day they live inviolate in their natural environment, undis trubed except for the fascinated gaze of some 270,000 gratified tourists each year. Successful game spotting de- pends on a combination of three factors. These are luck, reason- able travelling speed and spot- ting ability. As there are over 1,200 lions in the Kruger Park, the odds in favour of seeing them are good especially as the roads have . been built close to rivers and waterholes where lions and other animals congregate. Apart from lions there are other predators and scavengers that are worth spotting. Leopards are fairly frequently seen, often in the forks. of trees where they drag their night's kill. Wild dogs are rarely seen; so are cheetahs. Herds of elephants wander throughout the Park especially in the northern section where. the mopani bush, their favourite food, grows in profusion. They are also fond of the maroela tree with its slightly intoxicating ber- ries which, when ripe, have af- fected many an elephant. A great many creatures are readily seen. Among these are impala, blue wildebeest, giraffe, 'zebra, steenbok and duiker. Com- plete families of warthog often wallow in mud baths or -. trot through the grass with their tails on high. Buffalo, once rare, are now frequently encountered as are troops . of baboons and the ubiquitous vervet monkeys. Your visit to Kruger National Park will of course be the high- light of your visit and an experi- ence you'll remember for years to come. If you're the type who has visited Europe, the islands in the - ;Oaribbean and 'other great `places throughout the world and you're looking for something dif- ferent, I suggest you consider South Africa as your next des- tination. .Follow than 'Sun BLAH' 1 Week - Including Airflight Meals and Acconnodation For more information contact to the from LISTOWEL TRAVEL BUREAU ' ► After Hours CallJim 291tk► -2207 163 Main St. W , Leave Winter BEHIND!
