A devastating earthquake brought death and disaster to Central Mexico. An estimated thousand people were buried in the ruins, Parts of densely populated Mexico City were in flames and ruins. It was reported the death toll could total more than 3,000 people. Canadians with relatives in Mexico waited anxiously for word of them. With communications inter- rupted, or swamped, there was little information to be had in the early aftermath of the disaster. How fortunate we are to escape such an upheaval of the earth. After the beautiful warm days we had chilly winds are warning of the cold days to come. More about the vacation in Winnipeg. We were present at the 8th Annual Concert In The Park of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra on the Rainbow Stage of the domed auditorium in Kildonan Park. This park is beautifully landscaped with trees, colorful flower beds and immaculately groomed lawns. The auditorium will seat about 3,000. That day people were standing at the back with very few single seats vacant. The orchestra presented a delightful varied program, under the direction of conductor Kozuhiro Koizumi, that brought hearty applause after each number and an enthusiastic standing ovation at the close of the concert. Coupons were filled out and turned in after the concert four season tickets and tape recordings of the orchestra. We won no seasons tickets but son David was winner of a recording. There was a Sunday barbecue at home with another couple as guests. The barbecuing done outside, the results served indoors because of the cool weather and threat of rain. An interesting drive north of the city following the course of the Red River was enjoyable. That river was, for many years, the only transportation available. It was sailed by the Indians; was the route of the fur traders to get to Montreal markets; it was along its banks that the early settlers carved their narrow strips of homestead lands facing the river. It is still a busy waterway, with tour boats, luxury yachts, other craft and fishermen. There is a lock at Lockport in winter when frozen over there is a great deal of ice fishing. Many a table is graced with delicious fish taken from the waters of the Red River. Historic sites were visited, memorial tablets honoring early settlers in settings of hewn rock pillars and blocks, an early beautiful Anglican Church, still in use with its adjoining cemetery; restored homes of prominent early settlers. An interesting afternoon drive. In quiet late evenings at home there were taped movies to enjoy along with buttered popcorn to nibble. Also what was appre- ciated very much were quiet times with two teenage grandsons, a chance to get to know them better for such times are few and far between. Arrival in Winnipeg was too late to take in the longest and most popular cultural event "Fblklorama." A bustling, exuberent cele- bration of Winnipeg's rich cultural diversity. Thele is food, entertainment, cultural exhibits, colorful costumes, from the people of the more than 30 ethnic groups in Winnipeg. Too soon the time had come to be off to the airport and home, to wave a misty -eyed goodbye to the Winnipeg family. Two children were listening to a T.V. political debate. One boy said to the other 'I'm just eight years old but already I am sick of politics and politicians."
