The Huron Expositor, 1975-08-14, Page 7Odds n' Ends CANADA'S FACES ,To appreciate 'this country of ours, we should travel from coast to coast. In July, motored with some friends to Vancouver Island, .and 'we came home with a new 'awareness of Canada. She has many faces.' The rocks and forests of Northern ,Ontario give way 'to the plains of Manitoba, 'Saskatchewan and Alberta. From one horizon to another stretch the wheat and hay fields. Only grain elevators, sleepy little towns and a few marshes interrupt the level span. Round bales of hay dot the ground. In Saskatchewan, the flat land abruptly becomes rolling hills that descend to the blue waters near the biefenbaker Dam. Near Saskatoon stands Blackstrap, the man-made mountain, which some westerners call the pimple on the prairie. In North Battleford, my friends and I toured a R.C.M.P. post, which was built a about 1803. The officers' quarters, ;the bar tacks, the sick horse stable and the stockade contain original furnishings and equipment. Paintings relate the bloody confrontations between the Indians and the white man. While we read an account of the hanging of six Indians after the Riel rebellion, we could almost hear the muffled 'drumbeats in the courtyard. Contrasting the R.C.M.P. past, we watched 32 members of the modern force perform the famous musical ride in Swift Current's exhibition grounds. In Lethbridge, Alberta, a Japanese by Elaine Townshend garden symbolizes the friendship between Canadians and the Japanese. Unlike the gardens we're accustomed to, it contains few flowers. Instead acres of lawns, landscape with trees, shrubs, ponds, brooks and rocks, creates a relaxed atmosphere. The wood of the teahouse is imported from Japan. A huge bell hangs nearby, and when visitors strike it, the chords resound through the park. Lethbridge University, built in the side of a hill, boasts unique architecture. I admired its appearance but not its stairs. Most Canadians dream of attending the Calgary Stampede. The dream came true for three of us this summer. The broncs and the bulls bucked as wildly as we expected. After watching the cowboys and clowns in action, I don't think I'll complain about sitting on our hard wooden grandstands. One of my friends b ought a stetson, which travelled to Vancouver Island and back to Ontario in our car. Considering that I sat on it a couple of times, it stood the trip rather well. For a panoramic view of the city, we ate in the revolving restaurant atop the Calgary Tower, On our budget, that meant a real splurge, but the view was worth it. Calgary is a sprawling city, yet it's clean and well-organized. Although the sky was misty, I glimpsed a whitecap in the west. It could have been a cloud or my imagination, but I insist it was a mountain. Later, we visted the Klondike Days in Edmonton, where a whole city commemorates the gold rush era. From Calgary, we headed toward Banff National Park and the Rockies. Next week I'll tell you about taking a snowmobile ride on a glacier in mid-July, getting lost in one of Canada's largest cities and sampling western hospitality. D & D Electrical and' Maintenance.
