This week's column is for ladies only. Well, for ladies who read personal ads. You may haîve seen those personal ads in the Toronto Star, or perhaps, in the 'Toronto Advertiser. Normally, ail men who use "Personal" columns are "single, sincere, handsome, heterosexual, disc reet, financially stable, younig, fun-loving, intelligent, honest, easy-going wvith interests in sports, music, dramna, psychology, mnovies, dancing, scuba diving" .well, you name it, and they'Il have it. Ladies who seek maIe companions through personal ads have their own unblemished qualities. They would like to meet a man who is "kind, ambitious, music-loving, non-drinker, fond of children, good-looking., WHITBY professional, animal lover (if possible), considerate, honest', romantic and interested in getting married". The ladies, needless to say, 'consider themselves "terrifically beautiful, sexy, intelligent, lovable, full of desires-, tired of the singles scene and sports-minded". This week, 1 thought, 1 should geL myself on the bandwagon. After all, F'm single, good looking (I hiope so) and very much heterosexcual. After much soul-searching, fijially, 1 came up with this profile of Alex, the bachelor, who's dying to meet "Miss Right" under his code number K287B. For the next two weeks, 1 wiil be terribly busy reading and studying each reply to my "personal ad", knowing that 1'11 be swamped with matrimonial offers from those gorgeous, sexy and extremely intelligent ladies. Well, here is my ad which will be placed in a sealing envelope and mailed to the "Mating Place", a magazine for the unattached. "Gentleman, early 30's, I160 lbs., blue- eyed, honest and sincere. No job, no steady income. Financiaily unstabie. Poor drinker, poor driver. Often absent-minded. Physically strong yet gentle, considerate and gensual. Sure of my masculinity.

She also must have her own interests and be able to support me financially and otherwise' I want my woman to use a head once in a while and fully understand somne of my shortcomings. Could we be the great match?". The FaIt season of the year has been snatched away front me and 1 don't like it. Already the forces of nature have started to poke icy flingers across mny lawn and garden and the chilly fingers of winter are threatening. But 1 don't care. ln quieter momnents 1 curl tip withi up-to-date news on warmer dîimes, by browsing tbrougli gorgeously iilustrated travel brochures. But dam it ail, how corne Canada itself is not given ~ big, dramatic spread of what it lias to offer to Canadians and people abroad? During the summrer ime, Banff, Lake Louise, and Jasper National Park in Alberta are "r-nusts" for al >They said iL would be big and it sure was. It \vas se big it would make the herirt of any rumimager skip a beait just thinking about the possibilities. Every year 1 noticed the ad ini the paper aboutt the Hadassah Bazaar and every year I wouid say Lo myself that 1 really should go and have a look if nothing else. 0f course, every year camne and wvent and one hing or another always prevented nie from gettîng there. Tihis year was no différent except that i rigidly made up rny mind even if sornething carne up 1 wouid go to the bazaar anyway. So I did. 1 had to wait until after work Io go and A th rough te day 1 kept promising mnyseîf I would knock off work early and get down Lo the bazaar before ail the bargaîns w(cre gone. That didn't hiappen and 1 finaliy mianaged te get away at about 6 p.rn. i began to realize the size of sucb a bazaar when 1 got to the front of the Automiotive Building at the C.N.E. where the event is held every year. There was a long lineup of cars waiting to geL into parking lots that already looked like they were fulil o capacity. Canadians to see. So indeed are thie Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, plus the beauty of Stanley Park. B.C., with its colourful and beautiful view over English Bay. Or if you prefer it, the rustic and rocky spiendour of the Maritime provinces- New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and tourists' -paradise, Prince Edward Island, with its unique and wonder-growing red soit. (Surely no potatoes can beat P.E.I. potatoes). The craggy wilderncss of Newfoundiand with its rivers teeming withi salmion and trout are a paradise for any traveiler. Then the capital city, St. John's, perhiaps the oýdest city in t*lite nation, is welI worth a look froni Telegrapli Hili, the point wlhere the famious Marconi transitted the lfirst morse code, message across the Atl an tic.

Quebec C'ity - o different frin sopbisticated Montreai, with su) muîcb to ollèr -blas captivated the bearts of people around the world. Yours too, if' you hiave not been tbere. Then there's Ontario, a miass of interniati-.'naI interest, Many people are famil' ir witb nmajor landmnarks ihi the sprawîing Metro Toronto are-a -- the Sci2nice Centre, Casa Lomna, Ontario Place. the Suîbway, Royal Ontario Museum, Anyway, i found a spot and liurried tirougli t he coid wind to the fr-:nt door.

The magnificence of' Ontario's 250,000 lakes. The crashing silence of James Bay -- the huge mouth of Hudson Bay (the famous North West Passage). The clear blue water of Georgian Bay, and Manitoulin Island, a mecca of beauty, tranquility and 50 many northern places where Canadian native Indians and Eskirnoes reside. Unfortunately, some in dire circum- stances but nevertheless descendants arnd children of races that lived long before the major Metro centres. Winnipeg, Manitoba, at Portage and Main St. corner is reputedly the coldest spot in the winter (for a city) in Canada, and is stili worth visiting. For years, l've h 'ad a yen to trek to Whitehorse, and eventuaily to Dawson City, Yukon. Dawson City - now there's a piece of Canadian history that rings beils around the world. Dawson mus#' surely be a monument to one of man's biggest problemns, greed. Next week, l'Il let you in one some of the goings on in Dawson, in this Canadian Olyrnpic year, 1 976 -- but in the meantime, if you get a chance to travel Canada, coast-to-coast, do it. It's later than you think. couid buy almost any piece of cIothiný you could think of exccpt for knickers and bras. If you wanted to outfit a cast for a refiliii-ng of Gone with the Wind you could bave gotten ail the costumes at that bazaar. The book bootbis hadi bargains with Reader's Digest Condensed books going for only a quarter and many of the booths biad new and almost new books which were released within the past year or so. 0f course, 1 liked the junk booths the best. I picked up a good pair of skis for S 12 and realized aft-crwards - the biard way -- they would be murder to navigate through the ever tbiickening crowd. I also found a nice Christmas present for mny mother at another booth and only then realized that, if you wanted to, you could do your whole Christmtas shopping at the bazaar. 1 tbiink the hardware booth was my favourite, I could browvse th~ rough the junk hardware for weeks and not even worry about eating. Quarts of paint were going for a dollar, walipaper for biaîf thiat price and wall electrical switches for a quarter. i don't remnember hiow long it took me to make the whole tour but quite a few dollars later, my feet were worn out, nmy anns tired from carrying my newly gained treasures and, laden with my bargains, 1 fought to get out the front door as people were still crowding to get in. The next night 1 saw a picture in the paper of a womnan sound asleep on one of the tables after the bazaar hiad ciosed.
