Just received my copy of
PACIFIC HOSTELLER,
published by the Canadian
Hostelling Association.
What caught my eye was a
contest open to all potential
travellers (Number “1” for
high-school and youth fare
potentials - under 26 years,

and Number “2” for older”
people). It asks you to plan.
an itinerary, using hotels and.

passes over Britain for |

“}” and the rest‘of the world
(sixty countries have hostels)
for the older entrants.
You've got to take 31 days
and- use them to the best
advantage. Prizes aren't
decided yet but. they seem to
think that some major travel
merchandisers:. will hop
forth with offerings. Who

knows? Might be-fun to try.

welcome. Call Steve Musson

I've been asked about
travel for people on salt-free
diets...Not..eas}! —T:
absolutely no way to manage
if you must -eat ‘in
restaurants. Anyone who is
living with this problem
knows that salt is present in
almost every tinned food,
many frozen foods and in
EVERY restaurant meal.
Cheese is loaded with the
stuff, bread has some, butter
is usually doused with it and
no restaurant cook will part
with his shaker.

Airlines will provide salt-
free meals, given warning.
The only way to travel and

remain uncontaminated by-

the sodium bug is ‘to go
immediately to your own
condo and cook your own
food. You must be
knowledgable about “safe”
foods and the other kind.

If you are stranded in
some wierd and wonderful
place, stick to milk, fresh
fruit and hard boiled eggs. I
wish the world realized how

much harm salt does to most

of us and gradually
eliminated it from food
preparation. If some idiot
wants to slather it around,
let him do it himself.
Speaking of special airline
meals, I think it’s marvellous
the way airlines - most of
them, anyway, cater to
special passengers. On my
return flight from Fiji, on CP
