experience ly gracious steed crouched on the ground legs folded and as i mounted bis handler shouted instructions the animal rose in a succession of lurches and grunts while swaying back and forth and from side to side in a desperate effort to main tain my balance i learned first fhand why camels are known u ships of the desert weaving precariously be tween the pyramids feeling much like a seasick landlubber i was much relieved for the brief respite which followed as we swung under the 450 peak of the cfaeop pyramid our guide said we would stop to watch a professional climber scale the 4500 year old granite tower he did in 7 minutes a normal climber we were told wold spend 60 to 90 minutes after a few minutes rest he was on the ground beside us a gain a truly phenomenal dis play of agility and fitness as i swerved and swayed way from the pyramids i felt insignificant once out of their awesome range though and it the latter is one of the most graceful of animals it can jump 30 feet at a time and as high as 10 feet in the air next we saw the long neck of a gir affe and shortly thereafter the king of the beasts to our dis appointment he bad just eaten and not even the honking

more than double the variety of species seen by our fellow tourists this reserve is particularly famous for rhinoceros and we were told they would charge anything near them this is pre- ciely what happened to us luckily the rhino decided our car was too much competition and swung clear by a few yards we were too excited to take one picture a memorable experience was meeting two masai warriors semi nomadic pasturalists and warlike their tribe once sue ceeded in terrorizing the kiku yu and other inhabitants dn ving them from their farmlands only during the early part of the last century were

nassagaweya now in halton riding will join wellington rid ing which in torn loses erin township to halton but no one has approached me complaining about nassaga weya leaving halton riding if tin asked though i will cer tainly disenss it with the const itnents he said he said mps have 30 days to protest the redistribution to the electoral boundaries commission which will sit again after all protests have been nude the commission will then come up with decisions which will be binding the proposed redistribution win give oakville more of a ru ral area extending north but will not make much difference politically he said he said the commission bid divided the halton riding into two but had added erin town ship to the oakville side be- cautoit was short in population under the proposed revision halton riding wiu contain es- questng hilton georgetown and acton as well as oakville and erin burlington which now is part of halton riding becomes part of the new haltonwentworth riding that will include the town of dundas and east and west flamborough in went- worth county the only real- political differ ence will be that wellington ri ding will become more liberal with the inclusion o nassaga weya and the soss of erin he said alf hales who is pre sently conservative incumbent of wellington riding might he in difficulties during another election while erin is slightly more conservative than oakville it will probably not affect the vo ting in the area be said road building machine takes plunge in ditch four year old sean balnea suffered a cut on his forelfead when
