( Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Round 'n About with Martha Martha Rathburn I have been painting up a storm, well, almost a storm - it DID rain! • I hadn't been card playing for about a week and it seem • - ed a long time. Marg Bower is- in British Columbia visiting her son and family - (oh, she took Frank along) so I can't be- sure of an in- stant foursome. As 1 wrote the words, the phone rang - "Can you play bridge, Thursday?" Sure enough. How about THAT. Well, we have been next door to British Columbia but the first trip I was bound I would see the Pacific Ocean. As we were bidding our friends goodbye Walt said, "Would you like to visit your brother instead of the Pacific?" My brother lived almost in San Francisco, so away- we go. The border town was not far from Calgary - Waterton - I think. On the map you'd think we were going the shortroute - a direct line down, then turn to San Fran. After about three days, I said "Get me out of these mountains." He just kept driving up hill, then down and round one mountain after another. Then he. said, "Where can I go?" Thei-e was no way out. The moun- tains ,grew shorter and smaller. Afte a while they were just hills: Canadian Rockies are a real thrill! This trip, of all our long ones, has been the one we recall almost every day. There is something on T.V. or something we see or say to remind us of our BIG trip through Canada and the U.S.A. so very often. After the big hills - nothing put pastures, very few houses -- just NOTHING! Then we came to a 54,000 acres of "Craters of the Moon". THIS was all cinders AND KLINKERS so big they were caves and queer formations you could visit. Walt was in the • cinderblock business at that time and they had ,trouble getting enough cinders or their jobs. So, I'm driving on a beautiful road - all cinders - doing about 75 when a tire blew. Walt wakened and helped me hold the car on the road, then we stopped to change it. The spare was almost nilcli, must have had a slow leak. Anyway, we went on about 29 miles when we saw a Ranger Station and stopped. He, the Ranger, didn't even have a bicycle pump and we limped on another 25 miles before we came to a gas station where we then had to buy two tires. In that 54,000 acres there were no birds or grass just KLINKERS and cinders. The last eruption had been 500 years ago (add 30 years to it, now). Next, I recall, was having breakfast in Reno, Nevada and trying the slot machines in the restaurant. I sug- gested we get a divorce while we were there - in case we might need it that didn't go over too well! Then more desert - the Navaho, I believe and they had warn- ing signs - you must have water and some . for the radiator too. So we took care of that. After many miles, heat of 110 degrees F, we were almost asleep when we saw a tree. A one and only tree. So we stopped and found EVERYONE had stop - Ped under that -tree. The gar- bage arbage and flies. made us close the windows and we fell asleep. When we .wakened, it was not long before we started climbing and I soon had to put on a sweater. We were in the mountains again, headed for the Donner Mountain Pass and soon San Fran- cisco. We stopped at a beautiful chalet (INN) for dinner or supper - I can't recall. The cook noticed, our Canadian licence and had the waiter ask what part of Canada we inhabited. Then out comes the cook big hat and all. I had said Windsor, not Goderich and he lived near Windsor. During the conver- sation, onveysation, we found I had visited his home, met his family, in- cluding one brother - a pries and his cousins had taken us there. A small world- and he was tickled pink to hear of home. He explained the ''snow which we , could barely navigate. 'They had had -82 feet of snow. It had buried everything,ruined their business which was a Ski Resort and they weren't hap- py. This was the middle of July and the . roads were a niess. After successfully negotiating the big Donner Mountain Pass, we came to a detour a few miles from our destination. I had wanted to seethe Golden Gate Bridge but Walt was bound we'd cross to Oakland - quite a short cut but the detour took us over the Golden Gate Bridge instead. Am I ever lucky! In a very short time, we reached my brother's and later he took us to the Big Trees in the North. We saw the big city - went down the hill where the cable cars run, whoosh! ! ! What a thrall. Saw the Bird Island - birds from the Arctic, Seal Island = enor- mous things, had dinner at "Fisherman's Wharf". I found out why the Americans bragged so muck_ about - everything being big- ger and better than anything - well almost anything we had in Canada. Geraniums grew up a trellis at the over- pass up to about .15 feet - I had to stop and make sure! Anywa jkthe morning fog, the hot sun from noon until the beautiful S:uiiset, made everything grow and bloom like crazy. 1 didn't doubt those braggin' Americans again! So that was my first trip to see the Pacific. Unless you call me and say, "Forget it", I'm liable to tell you about more trips! Enjoy all you can WHEN and WHILE you can. Love, Martha. ada. G r7 requested to pick up their box of poppies and area from the Vimy room on the main floor of the Branch. Per- sonnel are also required to cover strategic lobations on Friday afternoon, November 5 and Saturday, November 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Phone Howard Carroll if you can assist him on Friday and Saturday. This year on Sunday, November 7, the Branch and Auxiliary will parade to St. George's Anglican church for the annual church parade. They will be joined by the Maitland Squadron of the Air Cadets and the two local chapters of the I.O.D.E. On November 11th at 11 a.m. a service of Remem- brance conducted by the Branch padres, the Reverend G.L. Royal and the Reverend Robert Crocker, will beheld at the Cenotaph on the Square. Lunch for those on parade will be served by the Ladies' Auxiliary in the Jubilee Room following the parade. Last year, monies donated to the Branch 109 poppy fund by the citizens of this community were put to good use. 'A total of $1800 was donated in varying amounts to provide bursaries for six local students who- are pursuing their education beyond the secondary level. Earlier this month, $1728.82 was donated to the ambulance serviceof the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital for a set of walkie-talkies which -are now installed and allow the at- tendants to retrain in con- tact with the ambulance and hospital when the attendants are forced, by circumstances to operate at a considerable distance from their vehicle. The continued support of the community of the Branch 109 poppy fund this year will allow the Branch to again contribute to worthy causes related to the veteran and the community. On Monday, November 8 at 8 p.m. there will be a free slide show open to members of the Branch, the Auxiliary and their guests in the Vimy lounge. Bob Henry will show coloured slides he has taken of past Rembrance Day services plus other colour shots of the town parade during the 150th birthday celebration in 1977. • Bruce Ryan Ryan seeks • an• A long time ,Goderich resident and businessman, Bruce Ryan, is seeking a council position in the November 8 municipal election. • Ryan says he has a sincere wish to serve the needs of the people of Goderich. A businessman with over 30 years experience, he has worked in consturction, manufacturing and real estate in the Goderich area. He also has 12 years business administration experience as a public utilities com- missioner in town. Magee backs out Jim Magee has served on Goderich town council for four years; and while his haeme appears on the ballot in the November 8 election, he says is unable to serve 8n council for personal reasons. There are no provisions in the Municipal Election Act for withdrawal and while Magee's name will be in - eluded on the ballot, he is unable to serve as councillor. Magee said personal com- mitments surfaced suddenly and it would be impossible for him to seek re-election to council.
