But he realizes that you didn't leave him anything so he travels onto the next house hop- ing that there will be something warm to drink. Even if there isn't anything to drink at the next house he gives presents too. He comes back each year and gives all the children new presents that they asked for. But what would happen if he decided lie doesn't want to come each Christmas Eve because it's too cold. Would you in the morning feel badly because you didn't get presents? Well if you want Santa to come each year my advice is to leave him hot chocolate to warm his body and I am sure he will be glad to come back to your home the following year.

It is much faster to walk than to drive, however due to the humid very hot climate one doesn't feel like walking too much. As a summary for my trip I can say that conditions in Africa indeed are very different. A few things that I really noticed are: (1) Time for the natives is of no essence. (2) The countries may be un- der-developed, however I did not see any people who may be hungry but, of course, we must remember how easy it is to get the food; it's growing almost everywhere and also that the climate is nice so really you don't need any heavy clothes; as a matter of fact you hardly need any clothes and of course the natives have the advantage that they don't get sunburned. (3) The people in all the countries where we visited were nice pleasant people who smiled easily and who really wanted to talk to you. (4) I saw so- many businesses and banks from other countries but Canada. I believe our country may be missing out in something since so many different countries are busy setting up business or business connections. (5) The tour was arranged by the Ontario Government in an outstanding manner and all our appointments and initial introductions in the different countries were made by the Commercial Secretaries in the Canadian High Commission offices. We must pay these people a real tribute because the way that they had made arrangements for us was done in a manner so ef- ficient and effective and with people that they before hand had interviewed to investigate their interest. This, of course, meant that we could achieve the most possible in the least amount of time. fiil'i imi Gaiser-Kneale mlni Insurance Agency Inc.
