Once more Friedsburg Days were a tremendous success with all committees working very hard and the weather being ideal. International Scene (by Raymond Cannon) TRAVELLING HAS ITS FUNNY MOMENTS During the summer it is often more pleasant to read about somthing amusing than it is to wade through a steady dose of crime, gloom, doom and gripes. We do have our humourous col- umes where the likes of Art Buchwald or Gary Lautens feed us the smile or laugh of the day but they don't have that much coverage. I can't claim to compete with them in the realm of humour but funny things do happen to me on my travels, just as they do to you, I'm sure and it's nice to think back on them once in a while. I would be hard put to decide what is the funniest thing that's ever happened to me while I have been wandering around the globe. However, one of the prize moments has to be the time I sat in a train compart- ment in Italy. I was bushed. I had slept on a boat deck for two nights, coming from Athens to Southern Italy. I was travel- ling to a place near Naples and was looking forward to a nice comfortable bed. The family in the compartment with me took a good look in my direction and quite rightly con- cluded that I wasn't Italian and VEGETABLES FRESH FROM OUR FIELDS DAILY! 15 Varieties including: Field Tomatoes Potatoes Peaches Heavy Roasters (oven-ready) Pickling Cucumbers Gladiolis all at FARMER BILL'S 237-3228 Watch for our sign on Crediton Road east of Shipka, and on Highway 83, west of Dashwood. then erroneously decided that 1 therefore didn't speak Italian. Secure in the belief that they wouldn't be understood, they spent the next half hour trying to guess my nationality and making all sorts of funny or un- complimentary remarks about all nationalities in general. I couldn't believe my ears but it was so funny that I just let them ramble on. Rather than say any- thing to them directly, I waited until the conductor opened the door and then asked him, in Italian of course, what time the train got to Caserta. The surp- rised look on the faces of the whole family was worth the price of the train ticket. I next infor- med them that I was Canadian and, as they could see, Canad- ians spoke Italian. I then left them to mull that one over while I proceeded to get some sleep. This isn't the only time I have overheard private conver- sations but it has to be one of the funniest, at least from my point of view. Coming back on a boat one time from Europe, there was a young German who sat at our table and who spoke little Eng- lish. Somehow he made friends with a Canadian girl who spoke less German and, to everybody's surprise, struck up a friendship. They must have really suffered from the language problem, because, on the third day out, they came to me and asked me politely if I would mind acting as an interpreter when the con- versation got complicated. I agreed and so, for the next three days, used to go for walks with them on the deck, about a half a step behind and translating whenever one or the other could not find the right word. Now and again I gave a little gram- matical explanation in German or English and, as they were still good friends when the boat docked in Quebec, I like to think that I helped the path of true love a bit. But then I had some experience at this. I had, several years earlier, been asked to write a proposal of marriage in English for a Frenchman who had fallen DOMESTIC REFRIGERATION Air Conditioners, Freezers SALES & SERVICE MAX'S TV AND APPLIANCES GRAND SEND. 23812493 in love with an English girl, wanted to marry her, but wasn't sure of the terminology used. Of course, for translations like that there is no charge. It isn't every day you get to play cupid. But wouldn't you know! Just when I remembered a really funny story while I was in Rus- sia, I see that I have run out of space. I'll save that for the next time.
