Between You and Me By RUTHI COLES For a change of pace, the Gananoque three-hour boat, trip0f about 50 miles around the Thousand Islands is a delight. It was a bright, clear sunny day a few weeks ago when we drove about 250 miles to Gananoque for a couple of days. On the water it was very pleasant but, of course, much cooler than back on shore. There are three-decker boats, ail quite new, dlean and comfortable. The top deck is open and great for tanning as you cruise along through Canadian waters and then American. Tbe other two enclosed <tecks are pleasant and, of course, warmer witb good visibiity. Food ta avail- able on the lower deck,, bot doga and such and, of course, hot tea and coffee. To take this trip in the autumn wben the leaves are turning would be the ideal time. There are many beautiful homes, some of which are owned by well- known figures. There is one stopover at an island which bouses Boldt Castie built in the late 1800's but abandoned sbortly after because the owner's wife died. The castle and outbuildings are made with beautiful stone brought across the waters by boat from another island.. Witb about three hundred and sixty- five rooms tbe castle is immense, ail left to decay andin time no doubt become the site of a ruin. We found the wbole exercise of leaving the boat to wander about very sad so, we stayed on board to ply our way back to tbe Canadian shore. Abandonment and decay, but I do wisb Mr. Boldt had finished it al in memory of bis wife. I think it would cost not millions but a good billion or so to refurbish tbe place. Wbat a wonderful luxury botel it could be. On the boat were many Japanese people and quite a few families from France. I couldn't help but wonder bow many of them might have booked in for a few weeks if it had been a hotel.

WHITBY FREE PRESS 131 Brock Street North Whitby 668-6111 Small returns -,qulck profits, a bellef held by many business men i years gone by and It can ap- ply toddy as we see around'us say in thé case of some take out places. Travelling in Canada and now I arn thinklng of Ontario especially is, I feel, unduly expensive. This means many fewer people and those with young chlldren tbink twice about getting out on the road.' If rates and food were reduced I'm sure the added revenue from extra guests would be beneficial and would induce people to return. No one likes to think they bave been had and this is a common feeling in many cases. We stayed in a very nice motel with a pool whicb my granddaughter enjoyed -and we ail found the small, dlean restaurant exceptionally good. The ser- vice was excellent and tbe food much to our liking., Not too expensive and well worth every penny. Only. open for breakfast and dinner, which meant finding' a Place for lunch.« We chose a well-known restaurant where we. had often been beforeý over the years with our respective families. It seemns to be always full of diners, many no doubt from the boat tours. Here again, we saw' people from other parts of the world and wondered bow tbey felt about their meal, that is if they chose the samé as we did. We neyer, or hardy ever, bave dinner at noon and' even tbough we were very hungry we chose to bave' lunch; not much to choose from but my grand-, daughter settled for a salad as I did. My husband, chose an omelet and we enjoyed a delîcious glass of sauterne while our granddaughter had a coke. 50 in time our salads arrived, very appetizing to< lookat, curried chicken, a rather small amount and some of it inedible due to some gristle or something which had to be carefully removed andý set to one' side of tbe plate.. Slices of cucumber, tomato, a few carrot sticks and celery. Lt did look good but I just love dressing and have neyer eaten a salad without it. My husband, for the firat time ever, had to ask if we might have some dressing. To our utter amaze-, ment the waitress said there wasn't any. We ate our. salads dry and for this one plate the cost was seven dollars and two small rolîs. Well and good if we had been able to have salad dressing, a small tbing, but important and ratber necessary. A charming atmosphere but then we think we» have charm at home and a beautiful view. We won-' dered what our out-of-country guests feit. Foi those, with chidren, say a mother and fatber with four. kids, the cost would bave been a shock and enough to make them feel they would go somewhere else. For us, we can always choose any type ôf restau- rant not tee far from home, by us I mean all 0f us but for strangers it's a bit different and I don't like, to think anyone is "taken." A hoat country is only a.. measure of its people. Lt just seemsa ai things being' equal, less money asked for in the travelares would.- bring in more business. We are hearing and reading a great deal about crime these days and this will continue until some-ýý thing else cornes to tbe fore. However, tbere is' no doubt that children should be watched and taught about such things. Always parents have tried to teach and not frighten chîdren about strangers. There is no. need for scare tactics, just a common sense approach. We will write about this at a later date; Whitby is no exception to the rule. Social planners meet TAUNTON RD.
