FOR MANY years China has
been shrouded in mystery
and inaccessible to tourists,
but recently it has opened its
doors to the curious and the
adventurous.

In the first Seycove Travel
program of the new season,
local residents Crawford and
Alice Kilian describe their re-
cent visit with slides and
commentary. ~

All armchair travellers are
welcome; there is no charge.

munity School at 7 p.m. on
Monday, October 15.

of the countries of the
Pacific Rim—an area that is

of growing importance to
Canada.
