Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education her memory will ' be appreciated. Our condolences go to the family and friends. Many people have been to Expo, so I'll try to sum up a little of how we survived three days there. Obviously, the first day was the most tiring, because we had not learned yet how to pace ourselves. One very basic thing was the management of diet. I learned to have biscuits on hand for nibbling every couple of hours or so. The best bet for meals was McDonald's, with the same price on the grounds as anywhere else in Canada off the grounds. Sometimes it was necessary to line up to get a place to sit down and eat. Getting the food in the first place was amazingly rapid. Another thing was that the grounds were divided into six different colour zones, namely, Yellow, Green, Pink, Red, Blue and Purple. The first thing you got after getting your passport validated, was to buy a site map, and decide what zone to head for. The People's Republic Republic of China was near the main East Gate in the Purple Zone. The Great Hall of Ramses II (Egypt) was the farthest away in the Yellow Zone. Line ups were annoying but necessary. You learned to ask how long the wait would be. Some places it was required to get a time for the queue. The last day, we went early and got tickets for the B.C. Exhibits immediately. Even transportation by monorail or skyride had to be considered versus "shanks' mare" (walking), as the line ups for these means of transportation were at times quite long, and one might be able to walk faster and perhaps on the way be able to slip into a pavilion or two which did not have a line. The little countries were most impressive for their friendliness, and conveyed the message that you would be most welcome to visit them, and had travel brochures, etc. to help you. Our favorite exhibits were China, Yukon, Pavilion of Promise, Ontario, B.C., U.S.S.R., Organization of East Caribbean States, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, Hungary, Prince Edward Island, Telecom Canada and the C.P. Roundhouse. Each day you were given a special attractions attractions card. The fireworks and laser beam display at night at the end of the second visit, were spectacular, and I have some very interesting pictures of this taken by my brother. In comparison to the C.N.E, in Toronto, the grounds were noticeably free of litter and everyone was very friendly and patient in the lineups. There was a very gratifying crowd turnout for the Bingo on Wednesday, August 13th, at the Pontypool Community Centre. Frank Stacey mentioned mentioned for the benefit of any newcomers that they should not be afraid to ask if they did not understand what the various games were. We are there to have a long, happy and fun evening together. The majority of games went quickly and by single winners, as compared to some evenings when there are multiple winners. winners. The new jackpot game has now gone two evenings without being claimed. The first of the fall schedule with Bingo every two weeks is Wednesday, September 3rd. The horseshoe games are fun, but unfortunately, some have been cancelled because of weather conditions. The regular Keenager meetings for the fall begin September 11th. In my last column, I mentioned mentioned about a rabies clinic being held. This is for the convenience of the public who have not been in the habit of .having their pets looked after previously and want an economical way of conforming conforming to the new regulations. It is now law to have your dogs and cats vaccinated (actually as of September 1st). As a public service there will be a special article elsewhere in the paper or in the next issue about this very serious public health concern, A bit of information .for those interested, and that is a reminder that the Annual Allan Lawrence Barbeque is on Wednesday, August 27th at the Devil's Elbow, rain or shine, and bring your own lawn chairs. The time is from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Please plan to attend. Every year, it is always very enjoyable and a treat for the taste buds.
