West Just a few' more notes oat, my trip to Saskatchewan. If you are bored, turn to the classified ads. That's not just, a wisecrack. A western publisher Who runs, my columd; said: "You're right up there withfthe classifieds, when it comes to readers." "Thanks a lot," I muttered rather dourly. Turns out it was a compliment. The classified ads are the best -read part of many weeklies. Anyway, perhaps the nest think I can say about Saskatche- wan is that I'd love to go back, 30 years younger, and with two or three months to spend. After I got home, I discovered I have a horde of cousins in Saska- toon, and they -re going to be sore as hell when they learn I was there for a few days and didn't call them. But that's my problem, and maybe I'll see some of them at the great Thomson family reun- ion at the "old homestead" on Calumet Island in the middle of the Ottawa River next month. It's easier to get from here to England than it is to get from here to Calumet Island, but I'm going to bust a gut trying to make it. My grandfather was slidemas- ter there in the great days of lum- bering on the Ottawa, and most of my western kinfolk sprang, originally, from his stalwart loins. Speaking 'Of loins, I didn't see any in Saskatchewan. But I did see .a .bald-headed eagle, $$ !ell as a few 'bald-headed editors° , Eiger it was a bald els, or..a dirty great crow who hktiust had his hair dyed blonde. ‘Ags far, as I'm concerned, it a8 410 4017,10,an just as that pike I caught not weighs just under 16 p 1 ds. And those western croWii 1. I spotted a vast,, black bird skirin- ming through the spruce. "What hi. the name of dear Heaven is that?" I enquired. "Crow," mut- tered our laconic guide, Ottide, rather contemptuously. Later I learned that these "crows", which look about the ,size of a Canada goose, are really ravens, about three times the Size of a ,comthon, or eastefn crow. I also heard some wolves, but they turned out to be .young Indians, and the wolf calls were directed at pitetty young Indians of the opposite sex. Ovide, the guide, didn't, 1 am sure, realize that he was named after a famous Roman poet of erotic verse, but he had some of the characteristics. "Caught a real big fish last night," he aver- red, straight-faced, outlining with his hands the shape of the fish, which was more of a bird than a fish, to my thinking. Let's see, what other great ad- ventures did I have? Oh, yes. I met a prairie farmer, in his seventies, who was up for the fishing.

Did you ever see a law student try to change a flat tire on a big bus? Nice lad. Had been in the Mounties, couldn't stand the crap of the upper echelons, who are still in the Victorian age, had quit, was going through law school, and then was going back into the Mounties, tto try to do something about it. Stout chap and I hope he makes it. But he sure had a battle with that tire, while we stood on the road and watched the perfect Vs of geese starting their long trek south. Away up there in the northern wilds, where the call of loons and the snort of a moose are to be ex- pected, I was startled. Went to lodge with the rest of the gang and wound up playing shuffle- board and 'shooting pool with a great fire in the fireplace. I felt sort of disconnected. It ain't cheap up there. Brought a rate card home with me. A modern cabin runs $120 a week. Boat, about $50" a week. Motor, about $60 a week. Plus gas, bait, fish filleting, fish freezing, and food. A fishing guide is about $20 a day, but worth it. 1 had all this for zilch money, thanks to the government of Sask. and my good hosts, the Martins. But on the other hand, it's not really expensive, if shared by a group. That cabin held eight people, or could have, and was completely furnished and heated. A crumby cottage in! Ontario, on an over -crowded beach, with no fishing, could cost as much or more. Back to Saskatoon after a 10 - hour bus -ride, and everybody ex- hausted. Some of those crazy, in- trepid westerners took off for home. "Oh, it's only 280 miles." Got wangled into a lobster din- ner, when all I wanted was bed and a warm glass of milk. Order- ing lobster in Saskatoon is like going to Halifax and saying: "Bring me a big western steak." Stupid. Missed my flig)it home. Called the old Trouble 'n Strife, who was expecting me that night, 1,200 miles away. Cost me $13. Woke up in the morning with a heavy chest cold and a feverish feeling that I'd been off to another !planet for a week. Bat I wouldn't have missed it for the world. It's not every day you see a bald-headed eagle. SETTING THE MOOD -- A paper which gives a neutral black, with virtually no "warmth" of brown . wilrhelp con- vey Ale impression of a happy child while helping to set the mood of wet and cold. A blue tone would be unsuitable because of the warm face — yet the picture can't convey the idea of bright, warm sunshine. PHOTO FUN Creative pictures start with paper By GILBERT HILL A creative photographic print starts with selection of paper — and the particular chemical formula to be used to develop it. And the trick is to know enough about paper charac- teristics in different develop- ers, and a variety of toners for ▪ changing the color of the image in order to convey the "feeling" the photographer wants to produce. Many, even experienced photographers, think pri- marily and only about surface — whether glossy, matt, silk, or rough to name only a, few. But the "color , tont," 4f the print May he 8r, -„more important. Only by long experience do H. GORDON GREEN One of Canada's most unusual visitors this year was the woman who came here from Europe, not to enjoy the beauties of our lakes and mountains, not to sample the fun and hospitality of our cities, but to have a baby. She came here pregnant for the avowed purpose of giving birth to her child in Canada. • A moving tribute to the esteem which others *have for the Cana- dian way of life, you say? Not at all. This woman happens to be a member of a family which in- tends to buy land in Alberta. Lots of it. But her people are not quite } ready to make the big move yet, and they are afraid that by the time they are ready Canada may have passed a law which will for- bid land sales to foreigners. Now, if and when that day comes, there will be at least one member of the, family through whom land can still be purchased. That will be the boy or girl who will shortly be born here. Meanwhile, as we merely con- tinue to talk about passing such a law, land sales to foreigners is quietly reaching fantastic; " pro- portions. Here in my ownpro- vince of Quebec and within a few miles of me, the 425 acre farm which has been in the Ness family for nearly a century, and which has been exporting famous Ayr- shire cattle since 1911 was sold a few weeks ago to a Belgian cor- poration. Twelve miles in the other direction an Italian group brought a block of 700 acres of prime agricultural land last week. The last mysterious people who came to aske me if my own farm was for sale said they were from France. But brisk as land sales are to foreigners who like the look of eastern Canada, it seems that the province of Alberta is really their happiest hunting ground, and the Canadian Press reports that about 40 titles a week are now be- ing registered by non-resident buyers in that province. Many are German, some Austrian, Swiss. There have even been buy- ers from South Viet Nam and the Philippines. And of course there are always the Americans. We have been hearing our real estate men hollering "Sold American!” for- many, many years now. Seems to me that we have now come to a time when we must ask ourselves if we really 'want to keep Canada Canadian or not. Because, make no mistake about it, these people rarely come here out of any great love for our par ticular brand of democracy or because they are infatuated with us as a people. Many have no in- tent at all to make the land pro duce. They are likely to be hard- headed investors who are shrewd' enough to see that acquiring prime Canadian acreage and holding it is just about the safest and most profitable investment they can make. We would be ri- diculously naive if we expected them to have any high regard for our traditions and institutions, nor can we be sure that they were even good citizens of the lands they are now trying to leave or that the money they have to spend here was honourably earned back home. A growing number of our social scientists are convinced that we have now reached a time when we no longer need immigration of any kind. Least of all, 1 think, is our need for that kind of immi- grant who merely sees Canada ass the last country in the world which apparently has no'objec- tion to selling its birthright for a mess of pottage. `Sensitive' teeth still a problem In 2500 B.C. the Chinese recorded the first cases of "sensitive" teeth. Yet the problem continues today, affecting one of every seven Americans. Modern treatment often consists of switching toothpastes to one containing non-toxic stron- 11 chloride. some photographers finally realize, . that most of the "slow" papers, those which take a long exposure raider the enlarger or a wider open. ing of the lens, are usually basically "warm," with even a really dark brown image. On the other hand, the "fast" papers which are easy to expose, and sometimes "come up" very quidd r in the developer, tend to be cold (or blue). Every paper made by any manufacturer also has a "recommended developer" which, of course, is made' the same firm. One of the least eipensive and most accurate ways to learn just how a paper looks when developed as recom- mended is to ask to see the "Sample books" which are available in all good" photo- graphic supply stores but which are rarely shown unless requested. Forget the surface for a mo- ment and look at the "image color." Try to figure out whether the color comes from the image itself, or is helped along by a cream, or yellow- color ellowcolor base in the paper. You can tell quickly by checking the unexposed borders of the print. Normally, anything desig- nated as a "portrait paper" will be "warm," because a warm face is much more pleasing than a blue one. But the "warm" papers also are favorites for most "display prints," the big ones you want Modern Etiquefte By Roberta Lee Q. I've been told it's very poor manners to take anything to drink at the table while there is food in your mouth. Is this correct? A. Correct. Too many people are guilty of this little lapse of good man- ners. One shou Id never give the appear- ance of "washing down" his food. Q. When a girl is making up the guest list for her wedding and finds it too Targe for the space available in her church, - should she issue hertriVita- tions anyway to the entire list on the chances that some will not be able to attend? A And what an uncomfortable situation it might be if they all DID come! Much smarter hnd safer if she cuts down her list. Q. Is it necessary to write thank-, you notes to friends who brought food tp our house at the time of my fatherts passing? 1 thanked all these good people personally at the time of their thoughtfulness. A. No; your thanks •at the time is all that is really necessary. Q. 1 am a recently divorced woman, and since our two small chil- dren are living with me, I'm wonder- ing if this obligates me to continue wearing my wedding ring. A. No obligation at all . .. it's entirely up to you. Q. When meat is passed at the table, and the portion closest to you is too big or doesn't suit you, b it all right to search through the portions for a desirable piece? A.
