Anne McKarney Continues Trip
Through Islands
Suva,
Viti Levu,
Fiji Islands,
August 1, 1967.
Dear Readers:
Our plane from Honolulu, a
13OAC VC -10 jet, landed at the In•
ternational Airport at Nandi
which is also situated on the is.
land of Viti Levu, the most im-
portant In the group of almost
three hundred Fiji Islands, We
had skipped over Sunday com•
pletely, having left Hawaii at 11
pan, Saturday night and arrived
in Fiji at 4 a.m, Monday morning,
This of course was because we had
crossed the International Dateline
during the night, Incidentally, the
Dateline makes a slight jog to the
right when it comes to the Fiji
Islands otherwise a ctiy would
have been divided in time so that
half the population would be ex-
periencing Monday while the oth•
er half was going to church on
Sunday!
To go front Nandi, at the north-
west corner of Viti Levu to Suva
which is jn the southern part of
the Island, we had to take a light
plane trip which lasted about 45
minutes, It was a beautiful, clear
day (winter to them) so that we
could see quite plainly the terrain
over which we flew, That is, I
looked at the scenery when I was-
n't trying to contain my stomach
every time we hit an air pocket. I
have never been too fond of light
plane flights at any time and this
particular one was not exactly'
conducive to my peace of mind •
in fact I was ,most amazed to find
that we had landed safely on the
Suva airstrip and not been dashed
to pieces on the mountains or
thrown headfirst into the Pacific!
Our journey to Suva was not
quite over yet however, The pas-
sengers who had disembarked
from the plane then climbed into
a small bus for the trip into the
city itself which would be about
eight miles from the airport, Our
driver was an East Indian as most
drivers of public vehicles in that
country seem to be; and they all
drive the same way - • like mani-
acs,
Fiji is a most interesting coun-
try and has a history which is no
less interesting, It became 4, Bri-
tish Crown_ Colony after Figi
petitioned the British Govern.
meat for a period of fifteen years
to be allowed to join the British
Empire, This request was caused
due to the inability of the Fijian
people to pay off a large debt to
the United States which had been
incurred when a U. S, military
building was damaged supposedly
by some Fijians, At any rate, Bri-
tain finally agreeed 'to take Fiji as
one of her colonies and King Cako•

Lions Plan Dance In
Aid Of Arena Fund
A gala dance has been planned
for next Thursday evening, Aug-
ust 31st in the newly rennovated
Blyth Arena. All proceeds will
go towards to artificial ice fund.
As we reported last week, sev-
eral thousand dollars is needed
to finish paying for the work
which has been completed at the
local winter playhouse. The Lions
Club has long ago vowed their
complete support to the project
and the members are now wrack-
ing their brains in an effort to
find methods of raising the need-
ed money.
The dance next Thursday night
is the first of what will no doubt
be many -endeavours to raise the
"hard, cold cash." Let's all join
together in Making 11 a full house
and a good start towards the
much awaited final payment for
the artificial ice plant and new
floor.
So how about it folks? If we
all work together and give our
full-fledged support to each and
every one of the ice fund projects,
we'll soon find the debt complet-
ely wiped off the ledger and it
won't cost any of us very darned
much money.
Tickets for the dance are only
three bucks a couple and free
lunch will be offered to anyone
in attendance — you can't beat
that for a good deal. The Lions

SUGAR
and
SPICB
ME A HIPPY?
THE BLYTH STANDARD
Every so often I experience an overwhelming urge to throw
everything to the winds, run away and become a hippy.
Those kids have the world by the tail, With the rest of us,
it,s the world that has us by' the tail, and does the twisting,
Think of those lucky bums, No taxes, no insurance premiums,
no shaving every morning, no handing over a buck and a half for a
haircut,
The hippies have •abdicated from a society that has no real-
ity for them, a society in :which they see precious little Jove and
honesty and a great of hate and hypocrisy. They have said "Include
me out," and in ;many :ways .I don't blame them,
So let them grow their hair and beards. Let them have their
love -ins and smoke grass and give each other flowers and refuse
to work, They're harmless compared to many people and things that
are mighty respected in our society.
But after the first, fine , careless rapture of seeing myself
among the hippies, the cold winds of reason blow and I know 1
couldn't make the scene,
Oh, I could let the hair and beard sprout, get some purple
pants and hide behind a pair of shades. 1 could look the .part, But
I'd never fit in, I don't have the hippy attitude or the mentality
or whatever it is, And its all the fault of my parents,
They brainwashed me with a lot of Victorian cliches and
puritan maxims that made me the warped, inhibited indivdual I am
today. You know the sort of thing, Cleanliness is next to Godliness,
A rollling stone gathers no moss. A stitch in time saves nine.
Pure poppycock, most of it, Fortunately, our children have
not allowed themselves to become indoctrinated, Try that rolling
stone thing on Kim and she just hoots and points out how many
million records the Rolling Stories made this year. The only "Stitch
in Time" she knows is a rock•n•roll group by that name, and she
thinks they're great.
My parents injected a lot of other hair -brained ideas into
my innocent little skull, They convinced me that you should do an
honest da3"'s work for a day's pay. That gives you the idea of how
old fashioned I am,
They said you should face responsibilites, not run from
then. Tha'ls another reason I'd never make it as a hippy. I'd be
completely out of tune,
They' believed in helping people who needed it. My mother
must have fed 2,000 hoboes during the depression, May father lost
his business because he kept on giving credit to people who could
never pay their bills,
They believed that you bore your troubles as best you could
and did not inflict them on others. They told us ; many times, that
if you couldn't say something nice about a person, you shouldn,t
say anything about him,
They detested the idea of charity and fought tooth and
nail, and successfully, to keep from going on relief. ;1'Iy mother sold
homemade bread and :Avon products, took in . boarders and tourists.
My dad, who couldn't sell air•conditioners in the Congo, took a
series of humiliating jobs as a salesman :on 'commission, fighting it
out with younger brasher 'nen :and selling almost nothing but his
pride,
They believed in God and law and order and absolute hon.
esty, They believed in neighborliness, but also in minding your
own business, They believed in the family, in total abstinence, in
good manners.
They believed in paying your bills and sweated agonies when
there wasn't the money to do so. That's one thing that didn't rub
off on me, thank goodness, I pay them eventually, but I don't sweat
in the interim,
And to tell the truth I'm afraid a lot of the other things
didn't take with me, I did have some resistance, But a lot of it did.
Now, how could anyone be a hippy with a rotten upbringing like
that?
So don't worry, If you come across a middle-aged hippy with
a flower over his ear next time y our're in San Francisco or Van-
couver or Yorkville, I'm sorry, but It won't be me.
I was ruined by my parents,

CROP .REPORT
The harvesting of spring grains
in Huron County has started in
several areas. Yields In these
areas seem to be average or slight-
ly above average but where lodg•
ing appeared, the grain didn't fill
and thus yields are clown some-
what there, Due to bad weather
early in the season, some fields
of spring grains were planted
much later than others, Therefore
some will not be mature for two
weeks or so.
The acreage of white beans is
down slightly in the county due
to the wet spring, The crop is be-
ginning to turn in colour and is
maturing quite favourably, ,
The corn crop has progressed
rapidly after a slow start due to
cold, wet weather but requires
more hot, sunny day's to bring it
along in maturity. Yeilds here
look promising also.
Sonie second cut hay has been
taken in and Is of very good qual•

Drivers age 16 to 24 were involved in 74,500
accidents on Ontario roads last year—an in-
crease of 12 percent over 1965. Fatal acci-
dents claimed 660 lives in this group—an
increase of 10 percent since 1965.
Yet statistics show that drivers who graduate
from approved high school driver training
courses have fewer accidents ... far fewer
traffic violations.
about 275 Ontario high schools will have driver instruction
courses approved by the Ontario Department of Education and the Ontario
Department of Transport. These courses are under the control of the local
▪ school board and principal and do not interfere with regular school classes.

school this fall, welcome

They belong to the Melanesian
(Black Islanders) and are mostly
tall, dark-skinned, well-built peo-
ple with black, fuzzy hair which
is kept in this state with the aid
of a flat, long -toothed comb. Most
of the men cut theirs short in the
Western style but the women still
idhere to the bouffant curls. West-
ern dress has been adopted al-
most completely in Suva, although
there were a few interesting vari-
ations. For the men, these were
leather sandals on bare feet and
wrap -round skirts wiith pointed
:scallops al the bottom ecI e of black
grey, blue or beige worsted; for
the women it was an ordinary
cotton print dress such as any
Canadian housewife would wear,
but underneath was an underskirt
+►I' the same or contrasting mated -
al which reached to the ankles.
The Fijians are apparently a
very happy-go-lucky people with a
good sense of humour. Although
most of them speak very good
English if they have been able to
go to school, they still talk to
each other in their own tongue.
They laugh and joke a great deal
among themselves and even with
foreigners occasionally. They are
also extremely musical and a
school choir from the islands has
g.ined quite a name for itself.
Their dancing too is quite an art
although we unfortunately did.not
have time to visit a Fijian village
and see one of these performances
on this trip,
Perhaps because of this easy-
going
asygoing attitude towards life, the.
Fijians are not very fond of hard
work especially in the white man's
sense of the words. So when Bri-
tain look over Fiji, labourers for
the sugar cane plantations had to
be found. Since there was a short-
age of labour in Fiji for various
reasons, indentured labour was
brought over from India by the
British government. 'Phe Indians
have stayed ever since and muti-
plied in great numbers. Although
indenturing has long since passed
from existence, many of the In-
diians living in Fiji today must be
descendants of those brought over
nearly a hundred years ago. The
startling and rather disturbing
thing is that now the Indian pop-
ulation is greater than the native
Fijian population! There have
been some speculations, whether
',rue or not, that the Indians who
are shrewder business men and
eager to educate themselves may
possibly take the top government
positions away from the Fijians
if and when Britain relinquishes
her sovereignty over the colony.
However these are only specula-
tions and the average man in the
street doesn't seem too concerned
about them at the moment.
The third group of people inha-
biting the islands are the white
Europ:ans, mostly of British, New
Zealard or Australian background
who h ive been teaching and train-
ing the natives in the ways of
white education, government and
other public dealings.
Next week I would like to tell
you about the manager of the
hotel at which we stayed. This
man, a New Zealander, drove us
arouncl Suva and its suburban
districts and told us a great many
intereAng things about 1t as wt..
!Fent along,
Sincerely,
Anne McKarney.
