Evert though just . about
everyone is aftlicated w ith the
common cold at sonic time of the
year -- usually this time of the.
year -- few people will admit to it.
Perhaps because of its. well,
sheer commonni2ss people usually
promote their colds by calling it
sinusitNI'''''an upper
respiratory infection„..i chill ...
But a.cold hy any other name is
still a cold. And what it lacks in
quality it- makes up for in
quantity; there are about 100
• different viruses that can cause it.
Fos 'reason. the people who
brought you heart transplants and
dialysis machines -- the medical
scientists - - haven't yet been able
to find a cure for it.
Not that the cold sufferer has to
grin and hear it. The various
symptoms that go to make' up the

Two years ago, 1 found —:in
interesting reference book at the
Clinton library, "Vanastra, a
socio-economic study". The
report follows a fifteen 'week
study of Vanasta by David
McConnell, Dawn Simons, Doug-
las Cameron, 'John Cox and
Karen Such. Research was spon-
sored under a Federal OppOrtuni-,„
ties for Youth Project,Contents of
the V.anastra report range from
Development History, Physical
Studies, Facility Studies, Sock,:
Economic Studies with Cpodu-
sions and Recomme-ndations. for
the further development of Vana-
Stra. From readin the re .erence
book it Would appear the research .
and compiling were completed in
1973, however I could not find a
date of reference. •
Recommendations and conclu-
sions have much reliyance for
Vanastra in 1976, Improvement
completed since this study are:
street improvements; improved
(il.7ontinued from Page 1)
because Brazil is studied in
Canadian classrooms the way it
was 50 yearg ago, 14,te three think.
Radana says you of ten see
stories about Canada in brazillian
papers but rarely the reverse. Her
parents came to Brazil from
Czechoslovakia and she has
visited Canada before, for 10
months in 1967-68 to see her
brothers and Expo. The other two
say she is unusual ...a blonde
Brazilian. She has been a guest
of Sandra Ruston, here in
Seaforth.
Bete and. Jesse are of
Portuguese extraction. Portu-
guese is the main, language in
Brazil but many people speak
English, they say: Canadians are
lucky when they travel because
English is spoken in most
countries. they say. But then
garbage collection; improved
street lighting; excellent recrea-
tional facilities; a citizens commit-
tee (Vanastra Community Assoc-
ation); and increased „animal
control.
Further recommendations from
this study. that should be consid-
ered for Vanastra are: Laundromat
public telephones (ther is one at
the Vanastra Centre); postal sub
station; transportation services
(bus ,service for Vanastra); street
signs; maintenance and upkeep
on unsold buildings by their
owners; mobileThealth 'services
and mobile library services.
Quotes from the report: Citizen
pride in the community would 'do
much more to develop Vahastra
into a better place to live and
work''. •
"Above all, co-operation bet-
ween all parties concerned with
development of Vanastra".
These are not my personal
recommendations but those found
in the report.
Do you remember the Vanastra
Super Chicks Baseball team from
last summer? The girls won all
but one game and were proudly
presented with trophies at the
end of last season.
The team is in the formation
stages for the 1976 season.

again tilayhe ea.nadians don't
learn as much or get to know
'people as well because they don't
have to' try to speak another
language.
Bete says Sandra Hulley may
go to Brazil next year to visit
them. As a whole they don't think
Canadian young people are a very
adventurous bunch.
The Brazilians are spending
their summer holidays here
....their school term started at the
beginning of March. Although
they attend classes they aren't
studying for credits. The idea of
their exchange is to meet people
and learn a bit about each other's
countries.
They all spoke English when
they arrived and had studied it in
school but they've gotten much
faster and better at it. "You have
to help yourself and learn fast,-
says Jesse, who has been staying
with Ray McNichol, Walton.
Radana says they're glad to
have had the chance to really get
to know Canadians; as ordinary
tourists in a hotel they wouldn't
have learned anything.
Those who've met them and
heard them speak have probably
learned a lot from them too. They
came prepared with lips and
slides, ready to give an occasional
talk and have found themselves
much in demand on the local
speaking circuit._ They've had
their names in the pa-per, spelled
five or six different ways, they
say.
"It's good experience. But 18
times?" jokes Bete. Radana says
she's spoken at least 25 thnes,and
Jesse pipes in that he tops them
both with 30 speeches. They all
laugh about it.
They're an outgoing, friendly
trio, obviously close to each other
although they had never met until
they left for Canada. They
acknowledge that they've felt a
bit homesick at times and that it'll
be good to get back to Brazil. But
they also look around the
newspaper office enthusias.:cally
and try to learn all they can.
For Bete, the strangest thing
about Canada was the weather.
Brazil it snows once in 50
frost wrecked most of their
country's coffee crop. Radana had
seen snow on her last visit to
Canada,
Jesse said his strangest
experience was when he arrived
alone at Toronto International
Airport. Nobody was there to
meet him and four guys kept
staring at him. After a few
minutes they came over and
asked his name and introduced
themselves as his hosts. H e's
been relaxed ever since.
As they were' leaving the
Expositor office the three agreed
with Expositor staff member
Henrietta Brown who told them
they'd still be in demand as
speakers when they got back to
Brazil. But there they'll be
expected to tell Brazilians all
about Canada.
