next best thing Saturday evening as Harbour Light Travel
presented its annual Travel Show and Dance. A steel band, exotic
refreshments and the tantalizing literature made available by a
number of wholesalers warmed the capacity crowd. Paul Dougher-
ty, Chris Carter and Heather Donnelly check out some winter vaca-

Round 'n About
Where were you last week, Martha? This I -
heard over and over.
Well, I was helping to build a house, cover
rocks with snow - THAT is hard to do, and
when it comes to painting flowers on window
shutters - I should give up! How about
THAT!
Believe it or not - I had fun working on Old
Grinch's house and sleigh for the Santa
Claus parade. As the children can tell you,
he's not a very nice character. He tried to
steal Santa's toys - and anything handy went
into that great big bag of his. I think he met
his downfall when he left that big Teddy
Bear on top of the heap - just ask the kids,
they'll tell you what happened.
Anyway I, too, am excited about our
Christmas season and the happiness that
goes with it. Shopping is a big headache for
some - but a thrill for others - they're usually
the ones " With lots of Mo-o-ola in their
pockets and the kids love them. I just drool
and envy them!
Don't you think the Santa Parade was just
wonderful? Oh, they can't compare with the
T.V. parades - but who knows - someday we
will have a craft shop that will have an en-
thusiastic teacher of papier mache and then
we will have those fantastic things in our
parade that will make people come from
many, many miles to see it. Now THAT is a
threat.
There are many things I'd like to do and
making people smile and enjoy the things
around them is top priority. Anyway it
would be great to see things created out of
cardboard, to make everyone smile.
If you haven't visited Disney World - even
Disneyland in California - you should TRY
to get there someday.
'Right here in Ontario, there are sevelal
great Disney World type of showplaces that
have sprung up - and they are very good -
but your first trip to Anaheim or Florida will
make you realize that although this was
With Martha Rathburn
built for the kids, it is the grown-up who
realizes how wonderful it is and the
technology, that is used to make a real bird
sing - when you know it is dead! Wild
animals go through certain everyday mo-
tions until you suddenly realize they're do-
ing those motions over again exactly as
before. It makes you stop and think. Even
the TIKI Birds are so realistic - and you
know they aren't - that you laugh and thrill
to their wonderful music.
Oh - the world of "Make Believe" has
always been with us - and will stay to the bit-
ter end - and I had a sinking feeling this
A.M. when some ladies came to tell of the
great ending our world is coming to - soon!
The world is becoming so wicked we can't
cope anymore - and we know it. But we also
know there will be very few left to start a
new world if we don't find a way to improve
our own little corner. So much for the
preaching. I'm not very good at it - but I
have my own beliefs and try to live up to
them.

some friends. What a nice surprise. The peo-
ple who had taken over the lovely old house
had moved a few walls, stairs and doors and
re -arranged them into a lovely more com-
fortable home with the simple im-
provements we have now. Years ago you
couldn't have open stairways - they didn't
have our heating machines and the little
house out back is now a beautiful - in its own
right - room with shower, hidden toilet - tiles
and vanities and all the cupboard space you
need in one corner, of that so-called
bedroom. Isn't it always wonderful to see
such improvement., •
The weather has been so wonderful lately
- it must be Indian Summer - is that related
to Indian Giver? Anyway, everyone must be
'enjoying it and I wish it might stay until the
New Year. I heard that last year - for many -
they couldn't traverat Christmas. I think so-
meone's wish hadn't held up long enough!
Happy gift hunting - and remember I have
"gifts" that could come from two or three of
you for everyone's enjoyment. Think about
it.
