MITCHELL JUNIOR FARMERS • A bountiful picnic supper open- ed the Mitchell Junior Farmers' picnic held at Lions Park, Sea - forth, on Tuesday night with 35 attending.

Fred Kreis and Jack Tinning chose sides for softball, the for- mer's team winning 5-4. Swimming and a sing -song were also enjoy- ed before the gathering broke up. • Ootstaxi. toady . Holidays are, -over for the next two years for J. Miles elcMilldre Mr. McMillan, son of Mr. and Mrs. J, M. alcMiilar}, Seaforth, left Thursday to m'eturn to Bogota, Colombia, where Jae la on. the staff of the Tropical Oil Co. Because of the distance involved, he is oply 'able to get home every two years. While in Seaforth Mr. McMillan recalled conditions as be found them .in the South American coun- try, and particularly the manner in which they differed from life in Canada. "After spending over two years in Colombia, the thrill of coming home is very hard to equal. When the absentee has spent some time in a foreign country, the thrill is even more. A difference was brought to my attention quite viv- idly within a few minutes after my arrival in Miami. After clearing the customs, I approached a porter and asked him to help me with my grips. He looked. at me blankly, so I repeated my question; how- ever, this time in Englieh. Un- consciously nconsciously I had used Spanish. "We flew on up to New York the next morning and on to Toron- to two days later. That same day we drove from Toronto to Sea - forth. Having striven quite a bit over Colombia roads (or more apt- ly, trails), Canadian highways are marvelloua. It • is impossible to drive for any distance in Colombia without becoming quite fatigued. As the country is so mountainous, the roads are very curving, rocky and narrow. All the buses and most of the cars are tieuipped with sirens which are blown on every curve of the mountain roads. While thehomes in the newer residential sections of Bogota are quite modern, they are all sur- rounded by high brick walls; the doors always kept locked, and the windows barred_ Lawn furniture is _never left outdoors at night be- cause of the all too many people who seem to prefer yours to theirs and promptly relieve you of all and sundry. As Bogota is at such a high alti- tude (8,700 feet), we never have weather there as we have here. You never see a blue sky over Bogota. It is always overcast, caus- ed by the high mountains sur- rounding the•city and surrounding district. While the climate is quite enjoyable, there is no change of seasons (except for the rainy and dry), therefore it does become ra- ther monotonous. There are, how- ever, many hotels and resorts down in the hot country within a few hours driving, which afford a pleasant change from the climate in Bogota. For relaxation there are several well laid out golf courses, as well as tennis courts and soccer fields. which are becoming more popular. The latest craze is for table ten- nis, several new "Ping-pong Pal- aces" being recently opened with as many as 50 or 60 tables in each. Indoor bowling, the ten -pin varie' ty, is also very popular. 'Whenever you are introduced to a person in Colombia, you shake hands, no matter what the sex of the person may be, and give your own name. This, at first, made me a bit confused as the names naturally were of Spanish origin. The first time I was introduced to a group of friends of a friend of mine, I didn't catch one single name, and therefore had to go through the procedyre several times. When passing a friend on the street, you say "Adios," in- stead of "Hello" I was rather amused one day when a young Colombian friend of mine, who was studying Englidh, passed me on the street and called out "Good- bye." Holidays are more numerous in Bogota than in Canada. Last year approximately 33 were observed by the Colombian citizens, Most of these were religious holidays. Automobiles are plentiful, but not nearly as many per capita as in this country. There are possib- ly more bigger cars, i.e., Cadil- lacs and Lincolns, in Bogota than anywhere I have been. An old car is something seldom seen on the streets. Maybe that is be- cause the rough roads are too in- jurious to them, causing fast de- terioration. ,.JORDAN -GUY REUNION The Jordan - Guy reunion was held in the Lions Park, Seaforth.
