The fellows from the Legion were in the kitchen on Saturday night
cooking up a gastronomical feast for more than 60 of their female
comrades. The annual feast included an impressive . maul,
prepared by master chef Paul Cormier and his gourmet group of 20
helpers. The menu included many dishes such as, roast lamb, coq
au vin, asparagus and cheese sauce, seafood platter and banana
cream pie. (Shelley McPhee photo)
secession hasn't hurt travel to Florida
Current economic difficulties have not
dampened Canadians' taste for a winter
vacation in Florida, a tradition that stret-
ches back more than 30 years.
It was 1950 when Air Canada inaugurated
service to Tampa, filling the peed of
thousands of Canadians who wanted to ex-
change snow for sand, pine treess for palms,
ice banks for coral reefs and fur coats for
beach robes.
Since then, the airline has added schedul-
ed service to Miami and charter flights to
Fort Lauderdale, and the .love affair
between Canadians and Florida has never
faltered. For example; Canadians from On-
tario constitute the largest influx of tourists
in the Tampa area, from any point of origin.
Florida is the most popular and the single
largest of all Air Canada's leisure/pleasure
destinations, says Pierre J. Jeanniot, Ex-
ecutive Vice President and Chief of Airline
Operations, and Air Canada is the busiest of
all the airlines directly carrying Canadians
to Florida.
While last winter's traffic to some of Air
Canada's other sun destinations was down
by as much as 30 percent, Jeanniot says
passenger flows to south Florida have re-
mained steady.
• In fact, Florida is now popular as a year
round destination characterized by
"repeat"business.
A 19$1 survey by the Florida Department
of Commerce showed that, of the 337,828
' Canadians who flew to Florida that year on
all airlines, 66: 7.percent•were repeat visitors

The four members 1 f Big Country were
surprised with the success of the debut The.
Crossing, for a good reason. They hadn't
written a song for, commercial success,
although their music has swept across'"the
airwaves in Britain with "Chance" and
"Fields of Fire", USA and Canada with In a
Big Country.

This last song from which the band's
name was derived, describes a place where
there . is always hope, no disillusion;. where,
despite the bad events in life there are still
good things, like the "sun in wintertime. Big
Country is not paradise. It is what this world
should be.
e song In a Big Country -hasg shown the
light.to many radio listeners across Canada.
Also, helping sales, The Crossing has receiv-
ed critical acclaim right, left, and centre. To
look. at the album cover, one sees nothing
special, other than some nice artwork.
However, inside,' one glossy inner sleeve,
are neat little pictures (used in Big Country
ads), spread choicely around the lyrics. And
what lyrics! Some groups (remember Con-
ey Hatch!) write their songs onto music, but
Big Country puts poetry to music. The
Crossing is. worth the price for the inner
sleeve alone.
Of course, the name Big Country connotes
ideas of country' music. Well; Big Country
plays their own kind of Music- rock with the
,' Gaelic touch. The band uses a device called
an E -bow to make their guitars simulate
bagpipes. Since two band members are
Scottish, this is only natural. As for the
songs, they are about human feelings.
Now, let's get something straight.. If Big
Country wore to write a book of poetry, I'd
be one of the first to dash outand try it. If
they put out an instrumental album, I'd buy
it' without hesitation. Unfortunately, The
,Crossing ---has one---rather-major--flaw
Everytirne Stuart Adamson begins his Irish
crooning, the song drops from a 10 to a 6. As
one friend commented, unable to make out
the words, "Is one, side French?" It's a pity
that, when the band has so much to say, that
you can't understand it.
Here's hoping for the Big Country Book of
Verse with optional soundtrack. Rating: 8

DIR-TY HARRY IS AT IT AGAIN
coming primarily for a vacation (67.5 per-
cent), and also to visit friends or relatives
(11.4 percent). Fifty-two percent of the
Canadian visitors were from Quebec, and 35
percent from Ontario. Ninety percent of the
visitors said they would continue to use the
airplane as a means of reaching Florida on
future trips.
The Canadian visitors who were the object
of the 1981 survey spent more than $224
aa�1'Ilion in various parts of Florida, choosing
Broward county as their main destination
(39.5 percent) compared with Dade County
(11.4) and Palm Beach (also 11.4) .
Air Canada has recognized the greater
Fort Lauderdale -Hollywood area. (Broward
County) as one of the .fastest growing
destinations 'for -Canadian vacationers by
actively participating in the growth .of this
market, says Jeanniot. .
• In addition to a joint promotion program
with local county organizations, the airline
has instituted a successful planned charter
program. Jeanniot hopes the current
Canada -U.S. bilateral negotiations will
eventually allow the carrier to serve the
greater Fort Lauderdale -Hollywood area on
a year round basis. . -
Looking ahead to the end of the, decade,
Jeanniot describes the Canadian traveller to
Florida as "older, wealthier, more
knowledgeable and evenmore demanding
of value for money; one who will continue to
judgeholidays on the basis of cost effec-
tiveness. •
"It will remain important to ensure that
real value exists for every component of
that experience: air travel; accommoda-
tions,car rental, the various restaurants
and attractions available," he concluded.
Get ready for
Klompen Feest

plying for Bicentennial Ontario 1984 grants.

ticipating to begin their plans so that the

sion will be given to those participating in
