Couple win -'trip to Expo '86
By David Emslie
CLINTON - When Tom Rathwell of RR3
Clinton test drove a car at Lorne Brown
Motors, he never expected it would lead to
his winning a trip to Expo.
Mr. Rathwell was given the opportunity to
sign a sweepstakes ticket when he took a
test drive, but he told the people at Lorne
Brown, "IfI did win it, I wouldn't go."
After signing'. the ticket, and buying
himself a car, he said he forgot all about the
contest until he recieved a call in June.
"My wife called out to the road and lOold
her to forget about it because people are
always calling about sweepstakes,'" Mr.
Rathwell said. "Then she told me it was
Brown's;. it took a while to sink in."
After being told he had won the trip, Mr.
Rathwell said he still didn't plan to go. "We
have never had a plane ride before, we've
traveled only in the car."
They waited until the next day to call back
and accept the trip. "It was too much of a
shock," his wife, Willa, said.
With their decision to accept the trip the
Rathwells got under way for Expo on July 13
for a four day stay.
Their prize included the flight to British

Columbia, a room and breakfast. "We had
to find our way to Toronto (for the flight),"
Mr. Rathwell said. "We were satisfied with
what we got."
Once there they found the Ontario
building to be the most to their liking. "It
was the best as far as I was concerned," Mr.
Rathwelll said. Mrs. Rathwell added, "I en-
joyed it also, there was a lot of work put into
it."
According to Mr. Rathwell, "The pictures
in the Ontario building were something
else." He explained that in one instance a
person put his hand out to a picture of geese
and it seemed like he was holding a goose.
"You could even see the eyes blinking," he
said.
In the part of • the Ontario pavilion
dedicated to Niagara Falls Mrs. Rathwell
said the floor was shaking to authenticate
the falls.
The old pictures in that building were
another reason the Rathwells enjoyed On-
tario the most. "I like old stuff anyways,"
Mr. Rathwell said.
They experienced another first when they
took a sea bus to the Canada building.
"We're not used to riding on the water
either," Mr. Rathwell said. "It Vvas really
the first boat ride we've had."

The Rathwells didn't find the notorious
Expo line ups to be as bad as has been
rumored. "With all the people around the
only line ups were at the big places," Mr.
Rathwell said. "If you went to the small
places there would be hardly anyone
around."
According to Mrs. Rathwell, "It wasn't
any different than Clinton's Klompen Feest,
or the spring fair." Mr. Rathwell added, "I
have seen it worse there."
With the number of visitors to Expo they
were pleased to find everything kept very
clean, and people to be friendly.
Aside, from touring Expo the Rathwells
went sight seeing in B.C. with two women
from Toronto who had also won a trip.
"We went to Stanley Park, the zoo, and we
walked across the Capilano swinging bridge
which was 500 feet across and 200 above the
ground," Mr. Rathwell said. Other areas
they visited included Horseshoe Bay,, the
TransCananda Highway and the Capilano
fish hatchery.
All in all the Rathwells enjoyed their trip,
even if they were a bit wary of going at first.
"We had an experience, anyways," Mr.
Rathwell concluded.
HURONVIEW - On Monday morning a
group of ladies got together and sliced
bananas, cut up apples, watermelon and
just about every fruit one could think of.
This was the preparation for the salad tea
that was held in the auditorium in the after-
noon. The fruit, served with tea and a muf-
fin, was a pleasant surprise for the residents
and staff who enjoyed this treat.
• Talking of surprises, they never cease
around Huronview. On Tuesday at noon,
everyone gathered in the great hall, where
they, sat down to a meal of corn on the cob,
sliced tomatoes, cold cuts and fruit. Hats off
to those who prepared this meal.
Anglican Communion was served in the
chapel Tuesday afternoon with Rev. Gordon
Simmons officiating. Frank Bissett provid-
ed organ music for the worship period.
A mystery tour was planned for Wednes-
day, and several residents took part in this,
not having a clue as to where they were go-
ing. However, it was disclosed later, that
they had a wonderful drive to the Elmira
and Elora district. They were fascinated by
the gorge and covered bridges of which
there are very few remaining. They had
their dinner in the Stone Crock restaurant
before heading home. By all reports, it was
an excellent outing.
Another successful Tupperware s, party
with hostess Brenda Glen took place in the
auditorium. As always there were
numerous articles on display, and many
new items were being shown.
At noon on this beautiful day, residents
and staff from Bayview gathered at the out-
doors for a meal of hot dogs and ham-
burgers, all cooked to perfection and touch-
ed off with various garnishes, and topped off
with ice cream. Everyone can attest to the
popularity of the barbecues.
In the afternoon several residents went in
to Clinton where they enjoyed another dip in
Marlene's pool. This has become a popular
event with the folk here, and they come back
so refreshed and relaxed.
Rev. John Pluta conducted Roman
Catholic Mass Friday morning.
Though many of the residents are taking
advantage of the nice days to be outside,
others still gather in the auditorium for their
weekly game of bingo.
Sunday morning worship was held in the
air-conditioned auditorium. The guest
speaker was Rev. David Woodhall from On-
tario Street United Church, Clinton. Special
music was provided by George Turner.
George sang two inspiring solos.
George is no stranger to Huronview since
his father lives. here, so it is with pleasure
that the congregation welcomes him at the
service.
Next Sunday Rev. David Snihur will be
back from his holidays.
A welcome is extended to Alfred Price and
John Hamilton
