Dear People: Greetings to you from this land of Portugal. How strange it is to have people turn and stare at you and your foreign language as you walk down the street speaking English. They seem to turn and stare anyway for in a land of dark skinned peeple,, with dark eyes, and an average height of 5'S" or less, anyone with fair or reddish' hair and blue --eyes and tower- ing over the rest is worthy of a more careful examination. My feelings seem to' alter- nate !between an attempt to blend into the landscape, and doing something or wearing something really outlandish to make all the staring really worthwhile. I have a feeling however 'that as life goes on one becomes somewhat accust- omed to all this. Portugal along. with Spain forms the Iberian Peninsula, and Is sometimes called "The face of Europe". Other Port- ugese territories include the islands of Azores, IVIadiera and the overseas- provinces of An- gola, Mozambique, Caber Verde, Guinea, Macao. Lisbon, the capital city is built on' 7 hills on the banks of the Tagus' river. It was captured from the Moors 444 still has certain .districts Which are very old with narrow, winding and very steep Streets, as well as new spreading sections with apert- merit In ildings in all stages of construction. Artistic Temperament There is an abundance of museums, -libraries, gardens, and parks where one can see' evidence of an artistic tempera, merit. Flowering hedges and vines cover or Obscure slightly some of the numerous ten or 12-foot high cement walls which surround many of the residences. Outer blinds of wooden slats give a sealed, ap- pearance to -the houses in spite, of pastel pinks, blues and yel- lows of the wall's. There are, numerous possibil- ities for transportation. One can go by subway (lefetrie), by taxi,. by bus, double - deeker bus, street ear, foot, or by one of the -horse or donkey drawn carts, , One has a lofty but in- secure feeling in the top of a double decker bus bouncing along on the rough cobblestone streets. Instead of too many stop lights, traffic is directed by policemen who are perched two or three feet up on a little stand in 'the -Middle of the intersection. They look as if they partly agree with my feelings that traffic is a bit erratic and they are trying at least to keep their toes from being run over. Driv- ers seem to be horn-happy by day and light-happy 'by night. After dark they drive with parking lights only and when occasion arises, instead of S 4r* ''"';'*:*,fiftr• Auburn Girl Wed In Weston Rites Baskets of golden - shaded chrysanthemums were the set- ting in St. John's Anglican Church, Weston, far the mar- riage of Dileen Mary Ellen Schneider, of Weston, and Ar- nold James Short also of Wes- ton. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Schneider, RR 1, Auburn, and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Shoat of Orillia. Rev, R. Scuse officiated for the double-ring ceremony. Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a white gown of chantilly lace 'over peau de sole with long lily- point sleeves with a shoulder- length veil and the carried a nosegay of white 'mums ' and pink roses. The n'iaid of honor was Miss Ruth Schneider, RR 1, Auburn, 'sister of the bride, wearing a street-length dress' of Carrib- ean blue peau de sole, matching accessories and a nosegay- of pink. carnations. James Lounge of, Weston' was the best man and the Ushers were Glenn Scharff, Weston, and janees Schneider, RR 1, Auburn, bro- ther of the bride. Following the. ceremony, a reception took place at Rest- valda :Restattrant, Weston where the bride's mother re- ceived the guests' wearing printed crepe dre,sa with a cors- age of red roses. She was as- sisted by the groom's mother wearing a blue crepe dress with a corsage of bronze roses, For travelling the bride don- ned a green double-knit suit with beige accessories.

July 1411h. The answer to the last one is always nee. I spoke to a service club once, and swore I'd never do it again. I have never had such an ignorant audience. After spending a week pre- paring a speech, and driving 50 miles on a winter night, after a hard clay's work, I was asked anxiously by the president 'if I could "keep it down to ten min- utes or so." About half the members were half-ailed and tvvo or 'three went to sleep while -I was being in- troduced. This is about stand- ard, The president and secre- tary kept looking at their wat- ches. Before the ritual "thank you" eight or ten members' had slunk out. The president apolo- gized, "they hafta go curling." The minute the vote of thanks (in which the mover called me Mr. Wiley, the fam- ous columnist) ended, 'the club came to' life with tigerish in- tensity, and, I sat there listen- ing far three-quarters of an hour to them quibbling about whether they should spend 50 bucks on a donation to boys' hockey, on, would get them a picture and a half a column in the local paper, or 25 bucks on a donation to a scholarship fund, which would get them a paragraph. Guess which won. However, 'as you have long since guessed, this experience has nothing to do' with what I'm going to talk about. What I .say out to ay was that we had a switch this week. My wife got a fan letter. It was a lovely letter—warm kind, friendly, intelligent, and utterly mistaken. In part, it reads, "I'm sure you must be a very patient wo- man 'and a very happy one', as I think I can tell from your husband's column he is a happy and contented man, and this is mainly all a wife needs to be happy herself, Perhaps?" Bless you, dear lady, for that "perhaps". There's still hope for the reading public, My wife is about as patient as Henry th,e Eighth, about as happy as Hamlet. She's a good kid, ,basically, but it's been a long time since she was on base. Or even knew what .innings it was, At least once a week, 'she's so depressed she says, "I just feel like jumping off the dock." I reply, "So who's stopping you?" She, old Patience, bel- lows, "You'd just love that wouldn't you? You'd go right out and get married 'to some young flibbertigibbet who couldn't keep you in line." And so on. She thinks she's 'smartter, fin- ancially, than the president of the Bank of Canada. But she never has any change foe the milk bottles. She claims she's so neurotic she can't sleep a wink, ever. I take her to a movie, she falls as- leep in eight minutes, and it takes the combined efforts of me, the 'ticket taker, and the manager, to get her out of the theatre when it closes, Last week she wanted to go to Africa and teach all the kids in the 'Congo how to play the piano with the proper finger movements. Next week she'll be 'bawling hell out of me be- cause I haven't been bawling hell out of the kids about some- thing or other. return 'they will reside alt 2221 Jane Street, Weston.

What about the boat trip? Only one clay did I question the merit of travel by sea 'and that can be blamed on the corner of a hurricane called Dora, Bless her happy little soul. It took a day or two to learn the art of taking a shoW- er and drying one foot while standing on the other with the boat rocking. It was good to be on land again but it took several more days to convince the sense of equilibrium that the land was really motionless. It is too easy to 'tell a tourist- like story of this country and its people but I do look for- ward to living and learning here for a year or so. Sincerely, eaVERA LYON. o E.
