TRAVEL SERVICE travellinga's sunflight HURON COUNTY COMMUNITY FRIENDSHIP TOUR TO JAMAICA Clinton News-Record.. Thursday, .November 2097g -5A Most people, at least once in a lifetime, want to feel totally unin- hibited... to kick off their shoes, for example, and dance down the main street of the old home town . . .without getting charged for disturbing the peace. Unfor- tunately, no city in Canada can offer such freedom. . , except perhaps during Grey Cup festivi- ties. But eyen here, definite re- strictions are in force. Well, I've got good news for you. There is a country, just a few hours away by jet where we visited this past summer, right off the coast of North America which provides such opportuni- ties. The country is the Bahamas, and this year marked the second annual "Bahamas Goombay Summer" program, where street dancing from dusk until dawn is just one of the many attractions for the visitor. Most Canadians, of course, in- clude the Bahamas Islands in their winter holidays and naturally so. Some of the special Goombay Summer events in- cluded a Shoppers' Mall right on Bay Street in Nassau, There was a Bahamas Folklore Group, sing- ing and dancing in national cos- tumes from early Bahamian days and a performance by the world famous Royal Bahamas Police Band. The best in Bahamian deli- cacies and local cuisine are offer- ed during this period. Some of the dishes we were brave enough to try were turtle soup, steamed mutton, conch stew, crab 'n' rice, potato bread and johnny cake. Also available were such far out culinary experiences as Fu Fu, a combination of Bahamian meats, okra and mixed vegetables served in a thick spicy sauce. The Bahamas is a sea of islands that marks 100,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean. Over 700 is- lands and more than 2,000 cays (pronounced 'keys') make up the Bahamas Islands. Ideal year- round climate is found in these is- lands as the:, warm, Gulf Stream flows betAtfeeli thr-BaliaMitn waters and the U.S. mainland,. guaranteeing ideal swimming any time of year. History and charm come alive in the Bahamas. In a ship's log in the Age of Discovery, the area was described as "bajamar" (pronounced '.`bahamar") the Spanish word for shallow sea. It is possible that this description of the necklace of coral stretching for miles in turquoise ocean gave the Bahamas its name. This his- tory of the islands runs the gamut of adventure. The Bahama Is- lands were discovered by Colum- bus in 1492. Englishmen escaping from religious persecution to pirates and smugglers followed. From Loyalists and plantation living to Prohibition and rum running. And- remnants and echoes of all this drama are still found today throughout the is- lands, You'll find many attractive landmarks, such as old forts, colonial structures and quaint towns with winding streets. When visiting the Bahamas you'll hear references to things that are exclusively Bahamian. They'll talk about "jump-in dances" and "rush-ins" and "quadrilles". At Christmas time they celebrate the colorful festi- val of Junkanoo. You'll hear the sizzling beat of Goombay, the Ba- hamians' own rhythm punc- tuated by a unique mix of goat- skin drums, maracas and saws scraped with long nails. Also today, it is tourism that has made the Bahamas famous. Excellent modern facilities can be found everywhere. More than a million and one-third travellers come each year to these shores. On all major Bahamian resort is- lands, taxis are plentiful, and rates are fixed by law according to the distance travelled. There are car rental services, bicycle rentals, sailboats for hire, fishing equipment, motor bicycles. You'll find Accommodations ranging from luxury resort hotels with golf courses to small guest houses to palm-hidden cottages for rent, by the season. Which island you pick depends upon the kind of, vacation you like. If you want variety, you'll find plenty of it on Nassau; and you'll find high life on Paradise Island. Freeport is a place filled with glamour and glitter. If you like a more subdued spot, an Out Island will be right for you. Per- haps you like to mix your moods. That's possible, too, for it's easy and it's inexpensive to travel by air from Nassau or Freeport to many of the out islands. Nassau For a combination of interest- ing historical landmarks and modern-day luxury, Nassau along with Paradise Island •is ideal. The city of Nassau was founded on the island of New Providence in 1670. It was named in,honovof-King-William-III, for,- merly William of Orange-Nas- sau. And today, what is imme- diately apparent is the historical influence of the British. A stately mansion, high on a hill, is still maintained as the home of the Governor. Judges still preside in white wigs and scarlet robes. The Bahamian policeman, in his white helmet, white coat and red- striped blue trousers looks very much like a tropical "bobby". You can fish for marlin, tuna, amberjack, sailfish and wahoo. You can golf at your choice of three championship courses or one 9-hole course, illuminated for night play. And, in season, you can have luncheon and spend the afternoon at the Nassau Race Course. All of this, of course, in addition to the time you spend at one of the magnificent beaches right at your hotel or within minutes of town. New Providence Island By car, you can tour all of New Providence in a day. It is only 21 miles long and 7 miles wide, and a circle trip of the island is only 60 miles. There are a number of his- toric sights to be seen while travelling around New Provi- dence. You'll find on the far end of the island, hidden in a grove of casuarina trees, the almost-de- serted Cabbage Beach. It's a per- fect place for a picnic. Try the Grand Grand Bahama (Freeport-Lucaya and West End) This is the second largest is- land in the Bahamas, and is un- like any other. There is a fierce dedication to everything that is new and streamlined and super- star. And if that is the kind of va- cation you're looking for, then Grand Bahama is the Bahama Is- land for you. While the island is 65 miles long and up to 7 miles wide, the action centres in two areas; Freeport-Lucaya and West End. And millions of dollars have made Grand Bahama what it is today. The Bahamas Islands are easily reached by sea or air. Some of the steamship lines who conduct a regular cruise service to the Bahamas are P and 0 Lines, Home Lines, Atlantic Cruise Lines, Costa Lines and many more. Many of the world's major airlines have a service to The Bahamas from Canada and the United States. If you're plan- ning on a vacation this winter we highly recommend The Bahamas to you. Only a few hours away by jet-service and guaranteed warm sunshine and friendly hospitality. The Bahamas. Where else would an island.. . or a person. . . want to be? Ont. Safety reports A remarkable new tire produced by Dunlop gives promise of an end to accidents resulting from blow-outs, and to the unpleasant necessity of changing wheels in dangerous, and/or uncomfortable situations. The "Total Mobility Tire" can be driven on at highway speeds for 50 to 100 miles when deflated, so that a motorist getting a flat would simply drive on to a convenient service station to get it repaired. Ontario Safety League officials were among a group who saw an impressive demonstration (the first in North America) of this new tire. Commercial production is some way off, and the cost may be much above present tires. However, 'this invention could make it unnecessary to carry a spare wheel on cars in the future. One Dunlop official speculated that it might be possible to reduce the length of cars by as much as 2 inches, with economic advantages, by redesigning car bodies to use the space now taken up by the fifth wheel. "Doing your own thing" was the theme of a successful social evening held in the Sunday School room of St. James Anglican Church, Middleton, last Friday. Around 60 persons attended. Various card games flourished. Colored slides were shown depicting some outstanding events of the centennial year. These were presented by 'Mrs. Wilfrid Jervis, Edward Wise and Mrs. Stewart Middleton. Mrs. Jervis showed scenic views of Kingston as well as pictures of the Confirmation Service and of Ross Middleton's picnic. The family groups and the Volleyball game evoked memories of a lovely Sunday. Edward Wise had striking slides of the Midland area and Shrine, as well as of the special Sunday dedication of the "Wise" Bell. Grace Middleton's slides were also of Confirmation Sunday and of the special out- doors-tervice' anti ‘smoi,gasbm'd "'" at Stewart's lake and park. These included one of the padre preaching to the multitude from a boat: also of the lively or- chestra in session and boating on the lake.

There were many young people present at the party. The rector, the Rev. George Youmatoff led six young girls in a delightful series of songs. This most versatile of rectors, also favored us with a spirited rendition of "The Volga Boat- men" in Russian. The whole room reverberated when he also sang several excerpts from Gilbert and. Sullivan rollicking operas. Mrs. Wilfrid Jervis gave a lively rendition of "Calib's Courtship", in appropriate male costume. Lunch was served following the arrival of many buckets of Kentucky Fried Chicken, plus rolls and relishes and coffee. This made a satisfying menu. All present seemed to enjoy this centennial social evening. A.C.W. The A.C.W. of St. James Mid- dleton will meet on Thursday evening November the ninth at 8:30 at the home of Mrs. Donald
