The country of India, how- ever, has an eternal triangle which neyer ends. And it also involves a love affair - but of a different nature. This affair involves visitors 10 India and their fascination with what is commonly referred 10 as the Delbi-Agra-Jaipur tri- angle. These three cubies are the most popular in India wiih North Americans. Situated in the northem part of the coun- try, the -cities form a triangle on the rnap.

As surprised as i was after a littile thouglit 1 began to see that somebody else obviously had the same probiems that 1 have h ad in that it seems every time I have [o make a trip and jusi get settled somebody rings me on the phone. lt's uncanny how they know the minute 1 sit down and once 1 even checked under the seat to sec if there was a hidden switch or something that told people whcn I was ihere. However, 1 just would not feel comfortable about having a telephone installed in there. First of ail you could get a few drunken friends in there making long distance phone cails to the presidont or the Prime Minister but the worst aspect about having a phono in the john would be if 1 was in there and-somnebody called and said, "Hi, there Jim old boy, wliat are you doing anyway?" What could i say? Yes we Canadians sure have a thing about telephonos. I JO, AT' Whitby Sailing Sehool The best $95 Courses stili available through October. Private instructions also available P.0.
