If a mental tranquilizer was
necessary, the local time could be
converted to Vancouver time for
an automatic gai\ of three hours.
The first class cabin of the 747,
with luxury seating. for 32 (and
incidentally full), was a welcome
sight. The wide seats eliminated
the need to share arm rest space
on an informal basis with a seat
mate. The expansive leg room
meant a chance for a welcome
stretch and the suggestion -- by
provision of a pair of sockettes -
that it was quite appropriate to
take off shoes --- was comfort to.

The dimly lighted cabin, with
individual, reading lights, was
whisper -quiet and the darkness
that enveloped us with our 2 a.m.
boarding, was immediately sug-
gestive of sleep at last.
NO COMPARISON
After the first drowsiness was
resisted, although it overpowered
the majority, there was an eerie'
space capsule -like feeling as we
hurtled along at 39,000 feet amid
a quietness that was difficult to
describe. In just four hours and 45 .

four day train trip around On-
tario's rugged Lake Superior,
across the broad undulating
prairies and into the awe-inspir-
ing Rockies was hard to relate.
What a condensation of a co -
try.
At 39,004 feet there were al the
comforts of home, too:

The first offering, complete
with white linen napkin, china
dishes, silver, salt and pepper
shakers and a number of other
touches, was lightly smoked sal-
mon with a twist, of lemon. It

chef who seemed to have chosen
such an appropriate appetizer.
SEASONED TO TASTE
Itwas promptly followed with
Chateaubriand and the individual
salt and, pepper shakers insured
that for once it could be seasoned'
satisfactorily; which always
seemed impossible with the
paper packages prevalent in the
economy accommodation.
The accompanying Brussels
sprouts, potato balls, and finally

the meal.
