Travel should be encouraged, | Mr. Hunter!

Dear Editor:

The article written by Bob
Hunter titled ‘‘Travel
Broadens but home is
sweetest’. What happened?
Did the North Shore News
need a space ‘‘filler upper’'?
The article should have been
thrown in the waste basket
instead of getting published.

Mr. Hunter leads the
reader to believe he is an ex-
perienced traveller. Maybe
so, but what kind of

traveller? 95% of his impres-
sions of other countries were
negative. He seemed to have
spent a lot of time in big
cities. Mr. Hunter, did you
also stay at the Sheraton and
Hilton hotels? Did you join
tour groups upon arriving in-
to a city? Or, are your im-
pressions based on a three-
day business trip with a
superficial look at cities in
between meetings? As you
mentioned looking out of the
window of your hotel room

OPEN LETTER TO
NORTH SHORE PEOPLE

You’ve been up to your ears
in shopping, wrapping, bak-
ing, and decorating. The last
thing on your mind has been
what you will be doing at the
end of January. But the
disabled people of B.C. need
to know that the Kinsmen
Rehabilitation Foundation is
“going to be able to continue
.to provide them with the
- wheelchairs, special _ elec-
tronic equipment, and other

services so vital to them in-

‘order to participate fully in
society.

‘Won't you take a minute
now to think how fortunate
you are—and how quickly
you, too, could be thrust into
the midst of finding informa:

and hot plates.

tion and assistance for a
member of your family. A
slip on a diving board, a tum-
ble on the ski slopes, a car
erash, a stroke, heart attack
or arthritis—at any time your
child, your spouse, or your
parent may need the services
paid for by the Kinsmen

- Mothers’ March.

Won’t you make the deci-
sion now to do your part to
ensure that these services
continue, by setting aside an
hour or two at the end of
January to march a block for
the Kinsmen Mothers’
March. Phone Beth, at
984-6057 or 984-7588, and
let’s all have a Happy New
Year.

and also what you saw on
T.V. while in a forsign
country?

Mr. Hunter, have you
heard of ‘‘Port Bartin
Island’’ in the Phillipines?
or, ‘‘Chang-Son’’ in N.
Thailand? or, ‘‘Taunggy”’ in
Burma? From having read
your article, | would say
**no””

The point is, an article
such as Mr. Hunter's might

put’ some people off of
travelling. Whereas travelling
is really a wonderful educa-
tion and should be
encouraged.

Incidently, Mr. Hunter, I
like New York. Why?
Because New York is DIF-
FERENT, it has it’s own
CHARACTER. | did not ex-
pect things to be like in Van-
couver and that is why I went
there!
