*?ac£& and e ?attcie&<br />
By MABEL RICHARDS " ••:>•'-\<br />
I came back from a few days spent in Montreal with ;<br />
a variety of impressions:<br />
••<br />
The girls are Twiggy-chic. ;<br />
Dress shops do not cater to any lady who has allowed<br />
herself to eat beyond a size 14. \<br />
Montreal makes o<strong>the</strong>r Canadian cities appear as over- ;<br />
grown farm villages, but <strong>the</strong>ir wea<strong>the</strong>r makes Saskat- J<br />
che.wan air feel like <strong>the</strong> banana belt. \<br />
* * * •<br />
Place Ville Marie, that swarm of underground shops I<br />
where you can spend a week without coming up into <strong>the</strong> I<br />
sunshine, is a marvellous hodge-podge but <strong>the</strong> prices •<br />
are beyond <strong>the</strong> reach of <strong>the</strong> average woman, in my opinion. I<br />
The specialty dress shops were featuring, <strong>the</strong> week I t<br />
was <strong>the</strong>re, gorgeous creations in black and white, all of I<br />
<strong>the</strong>m designed for <strong>the</strong> very young. White lace frills at I<br />
neck and wrist marked coats as well as dresses. Had I<br />
<strong>the</strong>y been less mini, <strong>the</strong>y would have been a barkening I<br />
back to <strong>the</strong> days of <strong>the</strong> cavaliers.<br />
•<br />
With <strong>the</strong>se stunning outfits, <strong>the</strong> tiny madamoiselles wore '<br />
thigh-high white boots, and on <strong>the</strong>ir heads wisps of black I<br />
or white fur.<br />
I<br />
Jn cities fur<strong>the</strong>r west I saw few of <strong>the</strong>se black and white I<br />
creations, so perhaps it is anew style, or perhaps some- •<br />
thing uniquely French-Canadian.<br />
I<br />
* * * J<br />
Anyone who attended Expo will not have to be told of •<br />
<strong>the</strong> marvellous eating places in Montreal, but to <strong>the</strong> new- •<br />
comer <strong>the</strong>y are a source of delight. I gained <strong>the</strong> impression •<br />
that <strong>the</strong> worst of <strong>the</strong>ir restaurants was an improvement •<br />
over <strong>the</strong> best in some western cities. Montreal is worth visiting - simply to<br />
eat' 1 , much less for tourist rubber- •<br />
necking.<br />
I found a tiny spot which in English would be called<br />
"The Laughing Bull", where charcoal steaks were a<br />
speciality. With <strong>the</strong> steak <strong>the</strong>y served a marvellous sauce,<br />
and potato baked in charcoals, and a salad with a very<br />
special flair. I am afraid that in this little cafe, and o<strong>the</strong>rs,<br />
I ate my way through a budget which had been optimistically<br />
designed to carry me across Canada, and by no means<br />
did.<br />
* * *<br />
If Montrealers carry any animosity towards <strong>the</strong> non-<br />
French - speaking Canadian <strong>the</strong>y certainly hide it well. I<br />
met no one who did not speak English, and no one who<br />
They<br />
showed<br />
are<br />
<strong>the</strong><br />
without<br />
slightest<br />
exception,<br />
resentment<br />
I found,<br />
because<br />
a friendly<br />
I spoke no<br />
and<br />
French.<br />
courteous<br />
people who go out of <strong>the</strong>ir way to make things easy<br />
for <strong>the</strong> visitor.<br />
In a small coffee house I met students who were strongly<br />
separatists, and who had little respect for ei<strong>the</strong>r Reni<br />
Levesque, or Pierre Elliott Trudeau.<br />
"How", I asked <strong>the</strong>m, "are you going to get along without<br />
v American investment if you separate from <strong>the</strong> rest of<br />
Canada? If you have an answer to that one, <strong>the</strong> rest of<br />
us will be very interested!"<br />
"Socialism 1" said <strong>the</strong> young men in unison.<br />
While ,1 was in Montreal Lanier LaPierre made a speech<br />
in which he warned his listeners that any attempt to take<br />
over American investment in Quebec would see <strong>the</strong> U.S.<br />
Marines on <strong>the</strong>ir soil <strong>the</strong> next day. The young separatists<br />
scoffed at <strong>the</strong> idea.<br />
^4 sjc )fi ,<br />
All of Eastern Canadaj indeed as far as <strong>the</strong> Lakehead, j<br />
was ba<strong>the</strong>d in snow last week, and icy sleet, and cold j<br />
winds which pierced one's very marrow. But <strong>the</strong> prairies-;<br />
were nude, and all across <strong>the</strong> land early golfers were ;<br />
enjoying some untimely warm wea<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
Back to Vancouver, -- and rain, of course. But <strong>the</strong> mag- ;<br />
nolias and Japanese cherry, .and <strong>the</strong> forsythia is in bloom, ;<br />
and one can easily forget <strong>the</strong> rain before such beauty^ ;<br />
Truly, Canada is a land of contrasts, some of it dull J<br />
and some of it fascinating in <strong>the</strong> extreme. I am glad <strong>the</strong>re ;<br />
is such variety; I am glad that French Canada is apart ;<br />
of our country and I hope to Heaven <strong>the</strong>y never leave us, ;<br />
and I am glad that, however briefly, I was able to take |<br />
in this panorama of a land. ;<br />
I know it is a cliche, but it makes one happy to be part ;<br />
of it. :<br />

Local Kinsmen Attend<br />
Mo<strong>the</strong>r's March Meet<br />
At <strong>the</strong> annual meeting of <strong>the</strong>,<br />
Rehabilitation Foundation of<br />
B.C. held in Vancouver recently,<br />
approximately 200 area and<br />
local Mo<strong>the</strong>r's March representatives<br />
and Mo<strong>the</strong>r's<br />
March campaign Chairmen<br />
were present to assist and formulate<br />
policy for <strong>the</strong> distribution<br />
of funds derived from<br />
<strong>the</strong> recently held Mo<strong>the</strong>r's<br />
March appeal throuhout <strong>the</strong><br />
Province.<br />
Among <strong>the</strong> delegates at <strong>the</strong><br />
Kinsmen-sponsored foundation<br />
meeting were four members of<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>Quesnel</strong> KinsmenClub,Carl<br />
Foote, president of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Quesnel</strong><br />
club, Fred Baxter area rep.<br />
Bill Bass, observer, and George<br />
Owens, local rep., and 1968<br />
Mo<strong>the</strong>r's March Chairman.<br />
The total figures of this<br />
year's Mo<strong>the</strong>r's March Appeal<br />
will reach an all time high of<br />
$240,000. Of this total $1,867.<br />
19 was raised in <strong>Quesnel</strong>.<br />
The objective of <strong>the</strong> Foundation<br />
which began in 1944 as <strong>the</strong><br />
results of an epidemic of Poliomyelitis<br />
in B.C., is to pioneer<br />
research and build special<br />
health centres towards assisting<br />
handicapped people, especially<br />
children. Once <strong>the</strong> program<br />
has attained its goal, <strong>the</strong><br />
Foundation turns <strong>the</strong> services<br />
over to <strong>the</strong> government or a<br />
hospital. The G.F. Strong<br />
Rehabilitation Centre of which<br />
<strong>the</strong> Foundation, through <strong>the</strong><br />
Kinsmen Clubs inB.C.,bought<br />
<strong>the</strong> land and donated <strong>the</strong><br />
swimming pool especially built<br />
for handicapped people in<br />
wheelchairs, and <strong>the</strong> Travelling<br />
Clinics throughout B.C. are<br />
examples.<br />
Two programs that will be<br />
turned over to Responsible Authorities<br />
will be <strong>the</strong> speech<br />
and hearing clinic to <strong>the</strong> Vancouver<br />
General Hospital and <strong>the</strong><br />
Vancouver Training Workshop<br />
for <strong>the</strong> handicapped to <strong>the</strong> government.<br />
At <strong>the</strong> luncheon held on Sunday,<br />
March 24, <strong>the</strong> guest speaker<br />
was Dr. Pat McGeer MLA<br />
and director of <strong>the</strong> Kinsmen<br />
Laboratory of Neurological Research<br />
at <strong>the</strong> University of B.C.,<br />
a project started in 1967 to .<br />
conduct research in field relating<br />
to diseases and disabilities<br />
arising in or involving nerve<br />
tissues.<br />
Dr., McGeer spoke on <strong>the</strong><br />
"Changing Roles of Volunteering<br />
Service Foundation." He<br />
stressed that with diseases becoming<br />
more prevelant as days<br />
go by, <strong>the</strong> foundation must keep<br />
pace to save lives by phrasing<br />
out <strong>the</strong>ir present services<br />
quicker and go into <strong>the</strong> pioneering<br />
field. He states that it is<br />
<strong>the</strong> government duties to look<br />
after health and welfare in <strong>the</strong><br />
country and said not to fear<br />
<strong>the</strong> loss of <strong>the</strong> services for <strong>the</strong><br />
government will see that <strong>the</strong>y<br />
are kept on especially when <strong>the</strong><br />
services are dealing with handicapped<br />
children.<br />
At <strong>the</strong> close of <strong>the</strong> meeting,<br />
all delegates were invited to go<br />
through <strong>the</strong> various clinics such<br />
as <strong>the</strong> Vancouver Training<br />
Workshop for <strong>the</strong> handicapped,<br />
<strong>the</strong> speech and hearing clinic<br />
Welcome Wagon<br />
We welcome <strong>the</strong> following<br />
newcomers to <strong>Quesnel</strong>:<br />
Mr. and Mrs. Larry Cayen,<br />
formerly of Surrey, B.C.<br />
Mr. and Mrs. Valance Tetroe<br />
and family, from Ontario.<br />
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Stuart,<br />
from Terrace, B.C.<br />
Mrs. Ruth Pennington and<br />
daughter, from Vancouver.<br />
and <strong>the</strong> G.F. Strong Rehabilitation<br />
Centre.<br />
The comments of one local<br />
delegate sums up <strong>the</strong> whole<br />
meeting. "It is a- big - shock<br />
to see at <strong>the</strong>se clinics children<br />
in wheelchairs, deformed<br />
and handicapped. One wonders<br />
above what is done and thinks<br />
about what can fur<strong>the</strong>r be done<br />
to help <strong>the</strong>se people especially<br />
pre-school children if <strong>the</strong><br />
money needed is available.<br />
When one talks about thousands<br />
of dollars spent at <strong>the</strong>se clinics,<br />
it is only a drop in <strong>the</strong> bucket<br />
what can be spent. It is sad<br />
indeed, when one's future is<br />
hinged to <strong>the</strong> price of adollar,"<br />
Trip<br />

8 - THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1968 - THE QUESNEL CARIBOO OBSERVER<br />
;<br />
By RUTH PATCHETT<br />
A fashion show highlighted<br />
<strong>the</strong> afternoon session of <strong>the</strong><br />
annual <strong>Cariboo</strong> <strong>District</strong> Wo-<br />
. men's Institute Spring Rally<br />
at Williams Lake last week.<br />
Featured were Pat Cornwall<br />
of Skyline who wore a sari,<br />
Ruth Grover in black negligee<br />
and Janice Lawlor in pink ensemble.<br />
SPEAKING CONTEST<br />
The topic for this year's<br />
Public Speaking Contest was<br />
"An Influence on My Life",<br />
and <strong>the</strong> three contestants,<br />
Marge Jacobson of Skyline, Ev<br />
Fisher of Kersley and Cynthia<br />
Richardson of Skyline, all held<br />
<strong>the</strong> interest of <strong>the</strong>ir audience<br />
throughout. The contest judge,<br />
Mrs. Anne Stevenson of Williams<br />
Lake, gave helpful comments<br />
on <strong>the</strong> speeches and<br />
awarded first prize to Ev Fisher,<br />
who told <strong>the</strong> story of her<br />
month's stay at St. Raphael,<br />
California, where she took<br />
training in <strong>the</strong> use of a seeing -<br />
eye dog. Mrs. Fisher has her<br />
dog, Erica, on <strong>the</strong> platform<br />
with her, and of course, Erica<br />
spent <strong>the</strong> entire day at <strong>the</strong> Rally<br />
and behaved in true seeingeye<br />
dog fashion.<br />
CONTEST WINNERS<br />
For <strong>the</strong> darned sock - Bridge<br />
Lake W.L; for <strong>the</strong> pie - Watch<br />
Lake; for <strong>the</strong> puffed quilt -<br />
Springhouse; for <strong>the</strong> hooked rug<br />

to <strong>the</strong>ir owners.<br />
Mrs. Bill Broughton was presented<br />
with a copy of <strong>the</strong> Federated<br />
W.I.'s Centennial Project<br />
- "A Heritage of Canadian<br />
Handicrafts'. Mrs. Broughton<br />
had taken all <strong>the</strong> information<br />
given her by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Cariboo</strong><br />
W.I.'s and composed <strong>the</strong> <strong>Cariboo</strong>'s<br />
submission to this book.<br />
The <strong>Quesnel</strong> View members<br />
brought a light touch to <strong>the</strong><br />
afternoon with <strong>the</strong>ir comical<br />
skit and songs, just prior to<br />
<strong>the</strong> workshop session.<br />
The workshop questions this<br />
year dealt with aspects of <strong>the</strong><br />
status of women. With over<br />
80 women in attendance, <strong>the</strong><br />
meeting room really buzzed<br />
while <strong>the</strong> eight groups discussed<br />
<strong>the</strong> questions in various<br />
corners. The results of each<br />
group's discussion will be evaluated<br />
and a report given at<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>District</strong> Convention to be<br />
held at Dragon Lake Hall on<br />
June 1st.<br />
NOMINATIONS<br />
Appointed on <strong>the</strong> Nominations<br />
Committee for <strong>the</strong> Convention<br />
were Mrs. J.R. Yorston, R.R.<br />
1, <strong>Quesnel</strong>, B.C. and Mrs. Joe<br />
Komori, 70 Mile, B.C.<br />
SUCCESSION DUTIES<br />
Mrs. Fred Hinsche of <strong>the</strong><br />
W.I. Corner<br />
141 Mile Ranch, Mrs. Orval<br />
Fletcher of 140 Mile Ranch<br />
and Mrs. D. Bell of 150 Mile<br />
Ranch, spoke on <strong>the</strong> difficulties<br />
faced by women when <strong>the</strong>y<br />
must pay death taxes following<br />
<strong>the</strong> death of <strong>the</strong>ir husbands.<br />
Many times ranchers wives<br />
have been forced to sell all<br />
<strong>the</strong> cattle and o<strong>the</strong>r assets in<br />
order to pay <strong>the</strong> tax, leaving<br />
<strong>the</strong>m with nothing to live on.<br />
This subject will be gone "into<br />
more fully and a resolution presented<br />
at a later date. Meanwhile,<br />
<strong>the</strong>se women have submitted<br />
briefs to <strong>the</strong> Royal Commission<br />
on <strong>the</strong> Status of Women,<br />
which is a start in bringing<br />
<strong>the</strong> plight of widows left<br />
with, taxable estates, to <strong>the</strong><br />
attention of <strong>the</strong> government.<br />

a better understanding of <strong>the</strong><br />
Fight Against Cancer now,"<br />
said Mrs. Parminter. "Thefinal<br />
solution to <strong>the</strong> problem of<br />
cancer will only come through<br />
research.<br />

money, but cancer costs lives."<br />

(Continued from psige' four)<br />
when lifted from <strong>the</strong>ir normal<br />
nursery environment.<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r advantage is that <strong>the</strong><br />
bullet desing lends itself to<br />
mechanization of planting and<br />
makes' possible <strong>the</strong> development<br />
of a planting machine<br />
which could do <strong>the</strong> work of a<br />
number of planters who are not<br />
always readily available when<br />
required. This could be of much<br />
importance in view of <strong>the</strong> tight<br />
schedule of British Columbia's<br />
reforestation program which<br />
has as its objective <strong>the</strong> production<br />
of 75 million seedlings<br />
a year by 1975.<br />
In addition to <strong>the</strong> factors of<br />
increased' planting speed and<br />
still-to-be-determined surviv- .<br />
al rates, <strong>the</strong>re is <strong>the</strong> all-important<br />
cost factor. Certain aspects<br />
of <strong>the</strong> system now on<br />
trial are more expensive, but<br />
<strong>the</strong>re are o<strong>the</strong>r considerations<br />
such as <strong>the</strong>reduction of nursery<br />
cost, <strong>the</strong> more universal choice<br />
of growing areas over <strong>the</strong> limited<br />
choice of <strong>the</strong> present nursery<br />
system and <strong>the</strong> difficulty of<br />
locating suitable sites.<br />
The break-even point could<br />
come with <strong>the</strong> survival rate<br />
alone. If this point is reached,<br />
many o<strong>the</strong>r factors favour <strong>the</strong><br />
bullet-planting method on<br />
selected reforestation sites,<br />
and it is hoped <strong>the</strong> next few<br />
years .will provide <strong>the</strong> answer.<br />

MOTHER SHIPTON'S AMAZING PROPHECIES<br />
A house of glass shall come to pass<br />
In merry England, but, alas,<br />
War will follow with <strong>the</strong> work<br />
In <strong>the</strong> land of <strong>the</strong> Turk,<br />
And state and state in fierce strife<br />
Struggle for each o<strong>the</strong>r's life.<br />
Carriages without horses shall go,<br />
And accidents fill <strong>the</strong> world with woe.<br />
In London Primrose Hill shall be<br />
And <strong>the</strong> centre of a Bishop's see.<br />
Around <strong>the</strong> world thoughts shall fly<br />
In <strong>the</strong> twinkling of an eye.<br />
Through <strong>the</strong> hills men shall ride •<br />
And nei<strong>the</strong>r horse nor ass bestride.<br />
|f<br />
Under water men shall walk,<br />
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.<br />
Iron in <strong>the</strong> water shall float<br />
As easily as a wooden boat.<br />
God shall be found and shown<br />
In a land that's now unknown.<br />
Fire and water shall wonders do,<br />
And England shall admit a Jew.<br />
Three time three shall lovely France<br />
Be led to dance a bloody dance,<br />
Before her people shall be free<br />
Three tyrant rulers shall she see,<br />
Each springing from a different dynasty,<br />
And now a word in uncouth rhyme<br />
Of what shall be in later time.<br />
In those far-off wonderful days<br />
Women shall get a strange odd craze<br />
To dress like men and breeches wear,<br />
And cut off <strong>the</strong>ir beautiful locks of hair,<br />
And ride astride with brazen brow<br />
As witches do on broomsticks now.<br />
Their love shall die and marriage cease<br />
• And babes and sucklings so decrease<br />
Their wives shall fondle cats and dogs.<br />
In eightee - hundred and ninety-six<br />
Build your houses of rotten sticks,<br />
For <strong>the</strong>n shall mighty wars be planned<br />
And fire and sword sweep over <strong>the</strong> land.<br />
And those who live <strong>the</strong> century through<br />
In fear and trembling this will do;<br />
Fly to <strong>the</strong> mountains and <strong>the</strong> glens,<br />
To bogs and forests and wild dens,<br />
For tempests will rage and oceans will roar<br />
And Gabriel stand on sea and shore,<br />
And as he toots his wondrous horn<br />
Old worlds shall die and new be born.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> air men shall be seen<br />
In black, in white, and in green.<br />
How strange, but yet <strong>the</strong>y shall be true.<br />
The world upside down shall be.<br />
And gold be found at <strong>the</strong> root of a tree.<br />
The world to an end shall come<br />
