its two months since our return but i can still remember it pretty well and if youd like to read about it here goes of course i took my camera along to record the trip and the weatherman was very obliging the morning of the day we started out by providing me with the nice con trast of a heavy snowfall here at home it was a good start on my roll of film because those pictures were very pretty by the time we actually started out around six o clock in the evening how ever most of the snow had diss- peered again very obliging of the weatherman we drove just beyond detroit and were ifortunate at that lata hour in finding a lovely new motel it was quiet reasonable and what is more in the morning my sister discovered it had another big ad vantage a howard johnson restaurant practically right on the premises it was our first intro duction to this chain of restaur ants and pleasant indeed they were what impressed us most about them was their nice little gesture of pouring you a cup of coffee as soon as you re seated to sip on while you decide what to have for breakfast there is no charge for this or far your break fast coffee refill and what is more their coffee is always excellent we should know for we break fasted and lunched in the howard johnson restaurants wher ever possible throughout the whole trip do you remember reading about the 100 or more people who were stranded in a h j res taurant during that blizzard in the new england states when i read that i had to smile luck was certainly with them i could not think of a better place to be stranded in so began the first real travelling it was tuesday and we spent most of the day driving thru ohio rather flat and unremarkable in a way and yet i find that all country and towns 1 haven t seen before are interesting this countryside seemed more or less like a contin uation of the land around sarnia and windsor and even the houses in the various towns were quite similar lo those in our border cities for some reason there were few brick houses and the big frame houses even had the same style of architecture as man ou see in samm especially hearing the border of kentucky however the land becomes more rolling and picturesque the city of cincinnati tor instance which is practica lj on the border between tht two states is a ver prett citj and not at all flat as its nam has alwajs suggested to me for some reason in fact it s just about tht unflattest cil i uat- ever in it is built on two or three very hifh hills you drive down a steep one to enter the city and tin- main highway winds around a couple of others before you make our exit on the other side of the city up a road comparable to that up the hamilton moun tain the panoramic views from the hills with the colourful hous es built up the slopes and in the valleys of the city and the broad river threading its way thru the heart of it reminded me of pic tures i have seen of german cities on the rhine saw some verv odd looking houses here built on the side of the mountain they fronted right onto the pave ment of the street and were just one room wide but the went back as tho there were seven or eight rooms built one right be hind the other they were easily the longest narrowest houses i have ever seen and just one story high well cincinnati was a good introduction to ken tucky which was just like i had always pictured it a lovely state with smoothly rolling hills looking impeccably groomed with their shortcropped tufty bluegrass and miles and miles of spanking white ranch style fences chalking the country into undula ting squares and rectangles quite frequently set well back from the road you could see the beautiful georgianstyle mansion of the es tate all were painted pure white and bad the graceful four pillars risihg from the ground to the lop storey hanking the front en trance each one looked as tho it might be used for an lllustra lion from gone with the wind 1 never tired of looking at them there are many more ordinary farms too of course but all seem cd to have a prosperous air and were very neatly kept in spite of having covered several hun dred miles since nine in the morn ing we were sorry to see that cvenin sun go down on kentucky we stopped at lexington for din ner and the night we were tacky in striking good aeco- ntodatton again in le and trilliums cedars useless to those removing jhbm mrs wesley fiebig 45 victoria ave has asked us to remind rea ders that miliums ontario sna uonal flower are extremely per ishable wild flowers whose beau tiful bloom fades fast when they are picked trilliums arc flowers which should be left in natural surround ings to be enjoyed and are val ued so much by the province that there is actually a law on the statute books prohibiting their pjeking when the blossom is pick ed there is a seven year interval before a plant will bloom again and it was understandably upset ting when mrs fiebig found flow ers had been picked from a wood ed section of her property last week rex heslop of delrex devel opmefits has also asked the her aid to pass on a word of advice to people who have been remov ing small cedar trees from the green belt property along the ri ver winch flows through the sub division the cedars are of the swamp variety and will not thrive when transplanted to garden soil so would be much better left to beautify the area where they are growing

converted old southernstyle mansion beautiful big pillars and all had an excel lent seafood dinner there and also my first introduction to hush puppies sounds alarming but fhe are merely hghly eloned i little round dough nut like affairs served piping hot from deep fat perhaps someone could tell me why they are called hush puppies 1 was mystified and never did find out from that point on for the rest of the trip whenever i ordered a seafood dinner hush puppies were always served with it thcj were delicious too wednesday dawned bri ght and promising no how ard johnson restaurant nearby here

seemed to expect the people to look different in some way from the people at home dress differently or some thing but of course they all look cd the same as thev do here at home except that now of

range by this time thc weather had started to moderate considerably and people wirt out in their virds busy with the spring cleaning up chores w started to look for the first sprinj flowers at about this point and finally my eagle ec spied two bright pink posies gracing a com i pletelv leafless little shrub out side a weatherbeaten shack what j on earth could the flower be we wondered but that didn t dampen our elation at hitting thc flower i belt so soon in our travels re i member that snow back home the morning we left bo we were really getting into thc south an i no fooling i had to stop to refuel the gas tank a few miles farther on and striking up a little conversation with the attendant we asked him what the little shrub could have been thc flowers had looked just like little pink roses the at tendant had no idea so we con ttnucd on our travels with eyes alert for more flowering shrubs sure enough our vigilance was rewarded a couple of miles farther down the road same type of dwel ling and this time two shrubs out in front each one bearing sev cral of the same kind of flowers but one shrub had pink flowers and the other yellow and that was the end of the strange barren- blooming shrubs that is until we approached the next town and noticed acemctery we noticed it because there were great many of the bright pink and yellow blooms there in artificial sprays and wreaths what a letdown and what a sense of humour those people must have had psychologically it was pre cisely the right location to take ir the northern tourist we bad many a good laugh over those flowers
