It is quite possible to r e main on the beginner slopes for years, butgraduallyyou'Il realizethere is a greater challenge to be met on the harder slopes. Conquering the mighty slopes Y You shouldn't pay attention to the names of hills such as; "AmenI, "Double Indemnity Special "1, or "See You In Hel 1 as these may discourage you just a lit- t 1 e . Even hil1s 1ike, "Granny'lsPassIl (Gr an n y is buried there) can be dec- eiving. Youmust stand on the top of the hi I 1 and say, 11Iill survive!", and then inform your skis if you don't make it, neither will they. Upon starting down the hil you must no t be distracted by tightly packed ski p an ts, or some stupid snow fence will t ak e a d v an t age of the distraction to slither out in front of you. If, by some remote chance this does happen, you may take to the air and jump it, all the time remembering what goes up wi1 I inevi tably come crashing down. Som e times it's best to study a map before hand or you may get to the top of the hil and discover its 75 degree slope is too steep. You will then realize that attempting to back down on the Iift may result in broken bones and a nasty look from the Iift operator at the bottom. Gradually you will become confident and you'll be rubbing elbows and broken armswith the best of them. After a few year s you'll fondly look back on your first attempts and try to remember who t a I ked you i n to ski ing and where you read these ski tips.

Ournext call was to the Whitby Post Office, and it's too bad we hadn't called there first. "Sure there's an Almonds, an d of c o urse it's a part of Whitby,"" sa id a friendly postal worker who in- formed us that the Mr. Graham we were I o o k i ng for was more than Iikely Mr. Vincent Graham listed under a rural route. This t ime 411 could give us a number. "We'r e all rural route I out heret', saidMr. Graham when we finally did get him on the other end of the 1ine. "No such place as Almonds ?! ", he asked incredu- I o u s I y . "Goes to show you what some p e o p 1le k now about Whitby's history. Havent they heard of Almond's Church ? It is the oldest church in the district. '" Mr. Graham put us on to still another A I m o n d s man, and the information we were after in the first place. Almonds is a section on Highway #f 2 an d the baseline, in the very westerly limits of the Town of Whitby. Almonds i s named after an early settler, James A I mo n ds. The story goes that back in the 1830 era, a quaker who was not too pleased with the way things were shap- in g up in this country, traded his land with James Almonds in lieu of some land in New York State - A wealth in infor- mation we'll never forget! letters to the editor box 206, whitby Y USED CARS dotRUSj~ 1969 REBEL - 2dr. htp.
