This is just a sample of what will take place if there are enough people out there who are interested in assisting Ollie with her ideas. The local Union plans on getting involved with a wide variety of events. They are looking at organizing a 'lumberjack' competition plus numerous other features. Other organizations are invited to represent themselves. The more ... the merrier!

If there is anything virtuous, praiseworthy, we seek after these things. Joseph Smith ° Plans are now being made to hold an initial meeting of the "'Birthday Week Celebrations Committee" and this is scheduled to take place on Thursday, March 22 at 7:00 p.m. in the Conference Room If you would like more information on this very worthwhile venture, at 825-3289 and tell her what you would like to see. Make this "Birthday Week" one to remember. I have but one simple wish for | all of us today.

I just got back from a tiny ' jewel of a Caribbean island called ; Antigua, where kids toss coco- | nuts instead of snowballs and the | only ice you'll find is floating in | tall, frosty glasses of pina colada. Twenty below this morning! ' Just two days ago I was sipping a : at the Rec Centre. or if you are definitely interested in helping out, then give Ollie Chapman a call Antigua fun port. The temperature there was 9S. Above. We had quite a contingent. 'pina colada in the Antigua air- | ~ Eighteen Thunder Bonians in our ' platoon, and we picked up two | more while we were down there. Or perhaps they picked us up, it ' doesn't really matter. We swam . and sailed and shopped and sunned and generally pigged-out ° on various and sundry tropical : delights. Antigua is a grand place to indulge in that sort of things. It's a mere 108 square miles of mountains, palm trees and rain forests ... all rimmed by beaches of eye-squintingly white sand. \ | ' I'd like to tell you all the bad | things about Antigua too. About how it's hideously overcrowded, about the snakes and the alliga- tors and the guerrilla bands with submachine guns hiding out in the mountains Antigua isn't crowded. There are ... but I can't. . about 40,000 more people in the _ city of Thunder Bay than there ; are on the whole island. And ; Antigua has no alligators - no snakes even. As for guerrilla' warriors, the closest thing to a military operation I saw in two weeks of touring the island was a cricket match between two teams -- sorry, "sides" -- of native schoolchildren, all decked out in © traditional whites. Oh yes, that's another plus for | Antigua. As an ex-dependency of | Great Britain, Antigua's mother tongue is English. Sort of. Actually when two Antiguans talk to each other it' sounds like Bob Marley at double- , speed in an echo chamber -- | virtually incomprehensible. But when they speak to foreigners, like you and me, they slow it down to a waltzy, lilting, Harry Belafonte pace that even the most rhythmless North American ear can take-in. Even the money was simple. One Canadian greenback buys you two EC (Eastern Caribbean) dollars. They have five-dollar bills, ten-dollar bills, twenty and Good Life: 13.

Ah, it was a wonderful two | and it lasted right up weeks ... until the moment the Air Canada flight attendant opened the fuse ~ lage door at Thunder Bay airport and a good old, Northwestern Ontario, late winter, gale-force breeze hit us all flush in our sun-tanned faces. Don't get me wrong now -- I'm . not complaining. I'm glad to be home. Honest. I'm just having a little trouble adjusting, that's all. But I'm "re-acclimatizing", bit ' by bit. For instance, I haven't whimpered for nearly an hour now. And next week I'm going to 'try typing my column without. wearing ski mitts.
