u Page 2, News, Wednesday, April 20, 1988 Back in time and across the land By Mary Hubelit A few days of Spring and right away we think of travel and camp- ing. Maybe I can help you get in the mood too, with a 'rerun' of my August 1979 "Wild Campsites I Have Known:" "You realize camping's thera- peutic value in this high-stress era? Would you agree that your camping equipment must be suited to your individual temperament in order to derive maximum relicf? I am too old for tenting, but I would tent rather than stay home all year. I would not want to miss the thou- sand and one camping experiences -- pleasant or othcrwise-- that have enriched our lives. There was a time at Massey when an army on manoeuvres camped for the night on both sides of us, and between me and the out- door facility. Or at Cobden when a fine young couple operating a restaurant-tavern-dance hall com- plex took pity on two hot, tired travellers and let us pull in behind the dance hall for the night. Fortunately, there was no dance that night, but there was a huge black German Shepard guard dog to whom we were introduced by the owner... and who stalked our. every step during the night. That was a bit unnerving. One April morning at Shoal Lake our water pump was frozen, so down to the lake with saucepan and bash a hole in the ice to bring back water for coffee. And from the moose-hunting diary: 'Oct. 20, 2.00 pm, behind a rock-cut on Highway 17 east of Kenora; ravine on one side, lake on the other and cold, wet snow all around. I think Nick expects to stay here overnight. Responsibilities: agencies. Qualifications: experience. Personnel Committee P.O.

Weather conditions do of course affect one's enjoyment of a camp- ing trip and sometimes leave a pic- see page 5 Trashing the litter bugs around By Helene Ballard Another week gone by. Our weather has not been too bad and it will soon warm up, so we can be outside more. We should all go out for fresh air and take nice walks. I was asked to let the seniors in our fair area know that there will be a showing and salc of clothes which makes dressing easy for the elderly ladies and for the handi- capped. The showing will take place in the lounge at Birchwood on May 10 from 1 pm to 4 pin. We hope to see you, so mark the «ute. The Birchwood Ladies Auxiliary drove to Schreiber on Thursday afternoon for our month- ly meeting. These ladies plan something for the residents for the whole year, and we arc grateful to them for all their work. I have been out walking this past week in the shopping centre I.

With all the trash cans around, there is no cxcuse for all this. It's not only the teenagers, but some.of the older ones too. Don't wonder where the taxes go, which your parents pay to the town; part of it goes to pay somcone to clean up this mess. To be honest it makes the town look like a garbage dump. Everything from pop cans to broken glass bottles-- I wonder if the ones who do this (and you know. who you are) do the same i your front yard. I hardly think so. Why don't you take a good look around and see how you feel. For goodness sake, use the trash cans, I'll have more news next time, so until then this wee joke: After hearing someone com- plain about the difficulty of parallel parking, a lady driver said there was nothing to it. "You back. up," she said, "until you run into the car behind you, then go forward until you run into the car ahead." " *til next time..."checrio" Happy 25th Birthday Denis!
