WHEN it comes to getting away from it all, a lot of us old folks think immediately of a We have visions of “Tolling in a deck chair watching the clouds pass by, and finding vas- - “-sals with drink and sus- tenance at our elbows day and night. :- Well, of course, you have’ to have that : lovely experience at least once, maybe: : twice,.to get in both Alaska and the coast of Yucatan, so you can talk the talk. I went so far once as to cruise to Russia, on what Russia advertised as its "own cruise ship, the Mihail Lermontov, Unlike your average party-boat, pas- engers were daily harried about their language lessons, their safety lessons, eir fitness lessons, and their history lessons.

Water. Water everywhere. Not so with the train, in which the only dancing is involuntary, when you hand-over-hand down the aisle, and which provides watery views only of creeks and rivers and vast lakes. As well, meals on trains lean towards sandwiches and finger food rather than the grande cuisine. But rail travel does offer the eye constant interest and change and beautiful, awesome views and panoramas. Another tremendous advantage in the case of our own Western Railroad enthusiasts is the opportunity to stop and get off and walk in the magnificent landscape, touch it, smell it and take an intimate picture of it. ; 1 am quite frankly luring you, that is my intention. No, Iam not on the board of directors, the enthusiasts who provide these journeys in our province once or twice a year, but Iam a British Columbian, and will never fail to respond to the magnificence of our var- ious territories.

There was one tiny drawback — the pills T am supposed to have each morn- ing: one teeny-weeny blue one, one medium-sized yellow one, one sturdy white one, one in a plastic yellow cover, and then every other morning, one orange one. At bed-time there are three more: one blue capsule, one blue and white same, and one brown gelatin thing. F lost control somehow about halfivay on, and came home with all kinds of the darn things because of sloppy packing. Same with make-up, which was never in the same parking place twice. Old-age has its drawbacks, do you ever find that? But not so serious as to persuade us to give up. Never say die, say OK, off we go. one is a real adventure in our own language. One more thing: I gave the wrong ‘number for Western Railroad in last week’s column. Call Sylvia at 524-1011. PUBLIC NOTICE Dennis D. Robinson of West Vancouver, B.C Dennis D.
