These packages: —can be opened before Christ- mas —are a lot more fun than a breadbox —wall probably save you money. They're package tours'' and they're good for what ails most of us. It's a long time' from one summer vacation to another. Why not slip in an extra mini - holiday now and then during the fall and winter? It isn't necessary to spend a lot of money crossing an ocean. There are plenty of tours available in Canada, far enough away to be different, close enough to be reasonably HOLIDAY ENJOY A BEAUTIFUL WINTER IN BARBADOS NASSAU ACAPULCO From From From X398.00 ;249.00 5329.00 CALL US - RESERVE NOW! .

Taking a package is usually cheaper than making your own travel arrangements. Tour wholesalers, because they make volume bookings, get lower rates. The travel agent who sells you the tour works on commission and charges you nothing. Besides saving you money, he saves you time and aggravation by working out your itinerary and making your reservations. And don't be misled into equating "package" with "group". Individual pack- ages are available, as are pack: ages exclusively designed to fit your particular needs. Fall is a good time to make a quick visit to the Canadian Rock- ies. The summer crowds are gone, but the mountain majesty remains. Four-day bus tours starting from either Calgary or Vancouver are available. Both include a two -night stop at the town of Banff in Canada's oldest national park, tours of Lake Louise and scenic drives through some of the 'world's most spec- tacular scenery in Alberta and British Columbia. Most meals, as well as transportation -and ac- commodation are included in the tour price. Fall is a beautiful season in eastern Canada too. If you're suf- fering from big city . jangled nerves; unwind with a seven-day fly and �_ `ive tour through any or all of the four Atlantic provinces. We cordially invite you and your friends to be among the very first to see and drive the all new 1916 Poniiacs, Buicks, GMC trucks Mount Forest & District Community Centre KING STREET EAST, MOUNT FOREST, ONTARIO September 25 & 26 6:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. - light refreshments - Wickham Porttiuc Buick Limited 242 MAIN STREET SOUTH, MOUNT FOREST, ONTARIO - PHONE 51Q- 323-2111 The pace is slower there and the scenery peaceful. New Bruns- wick and Nova Scotia have the added advantage of having some of the country's most vivid fall foliage. Package price includes return economy air fare, six -nights ac- commodation, a rental car and the occasional guided tour. One fly and drive package takes in Newfoundland and Nova t1otia. You ufly to St. John's, capi- of Newfoundland, and are taken on a three-hour tour of this colorful city with its brightly painted frame buildings, steep streets and historic landmarks. From then on, you drive yourself, first around., the St. John's area, then on the Trans -Canada High- way, 108 miles northwest to Clarenville through several pic- turesque fishing villages Which for- centuries sustained the economy of this rocky land. Explore the rugged bfteauty of oceanside Terra Nova National Park; then carry on further north about 45 miles to Gander and fly to Sydney on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. Drive the 185 -mile Cabot Trail, especially colorful in the fall and visit the Fortress of Louisbourg. It's one of the most interesting and largest historic sites on the continent. Next, fly to Halifax, the provin- cial capital, a city of trees, modern steel and glass towers, poised against a background of well -kept colonial frame build- ings. This major metropolitan centre has somehow succeeded in retaining the features of a resort. There are golf, saltwater fishing, hiking trails, horse riding and boating facilities at hand as well as sophisticated restaurants, nightclubs and shopping centres. After a two-day stop here you fly home, relaxed and ready to face the world. Another fly and drive tour goes to Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. Prince Edward Island is a picture -postcard rural oasis in an ocean setting. Cana- da's Smallest province, it's only 140 miles long and nowhere is it wider than 40 miles. You're never far from where you're going. There are no big cities (Charlottetown, the largest, has a population of just over 19,000) but neither is there rugged wilder- ness. It's too late to swim at the beautiful Prince Edward Island National Park beaches on the north shore, but the beachcomb- ing is just fine. This is a gentle province, easy on frayed nerves and tired bodies. If you're a golfer, be sure to bring your clubs. There are several fine courses. From Prince Edward Island, you fly to Moncton, New Bruns- wick and pick up another rental car. Follow the Bay of Fundy coastline through Fundy National Park and stop at Saint John. Spe- cial points of interest include the Reversing Falls rapids, a Martel - lo tower constructed in 1812-14 and the New Brunswick Museum. St. Andrews -by -the -Sea, a re- sort town steeped in history, is another interesting stop. Take a walking tour of the many historic buildings and handcraft shops. Fredericton, the provincial capital, is a gracious community with streets shaded by century - old elms. Nearby are Kings Landing, a pioneer village des- cribing life as it was in the area between 1790 and 1870, and Mac- taquac Provincial Park, a year- round vacation centre.

JOHN JACKSON 1►N Certified Master Grapholyst Dear Dorothy; I'n a 4O yearpold'divorced' woman. 1 feet so Wit. My daughter says she is going to join the hippie movement. My two teen-age boys have al- ready left home and I don't know where they are. I know it's all my fault, but can you tell me why? I have so many regrets. W.L. Dear W.L.: Regrets are mental ter- mites. They can eat away your mind. Your too con- servative nature, seen in your retraced and closely spaced letters, is your heritage.. Growing up, you were taught to resist changes, to hold onto tradition. This is the pattern by which you live and by which you expect your chil- dren to live. Thus, you de- prive them of their indi- viduality. Forbid the mini- skirt -- expect the hippie garb. Naturally your heart is weary, but succumbing to a chronic state of dejection, seen especially in the ending on 1, is something you'll have to crawl up and over. You have many needs to be ful- filled. Chief of these is your desire for some variety and change in your life, seen in the long narrow lower loops. Yet, in living a life of strict adherence, you tend to feel guilty if you move out of your already established mode. This is indicated in: the t crossed back to the left.
