When you were 20, you kept busy planning for the future; after 40, you keep busy undoing the faulty planning. Lady Luck gives some people a boost, but we feel that she's been trying to shove us under a bus. Most of us bear up under trouble best when it's hap- pening to the other fellow. Keep your chin up and you'll stumble over the nearest curb. Being good for nothing is what most kids won't, Your brain is no stronger than its weakest think. Citizens News, November 16, 1978 Page 13 Swiss visitor enjoys stay in Zurich One of the many benefits which the technological age has brought, has been the ease of transportation and communication between the various continents of the world. Taking advantage of today's rapid transportation and communication systems is 19 year old Pia Christen of Buochs Switzerland, a niece of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Risi. Ms. Christen arrived in Canada on October 14 for a two month stay with her aunt and uncle. Her primary intention on taking the trip was to increase her com- mand of the English language. Pia lives in Buochs a town of 3,500 with her mother and father and two brothers. Both of her parents work with her father employed as at the military air base in Stans and her mother operates a small store in Stansstad. In her home town Swiss - German is the predominent language spoken with Pia also speaking French and English. When asked how she managed to find time to take the trip, she replied she had just finished three years of apprenticeship and was in the position of having some time off. Since coming over she has visited Hamilton, London, Kitchener and Cambridge and has been to the African Lion Safari near Rockton. One thing she's noticed about Canadians as coin - pared to the Swiss is that we eat a greater amounts of sweets. Smiling, she also said Canadians appear to be more friendly. In terms of clothing styles, Ms. Christen said we're about two years behind what the Europeans are wearing Pia Christen with the women wearing loose fitting co-ordinates and men wearing pleated pants. For hobbies, down hill skiing, dancing and swim- ming are her favorite past - times. The aspiring secretary said the cost of living in Switzerland is much higher especially for food, She has ambitions to continue her education in nine year's time, possibly at the University of Florence in Italy.
