seeing the worldpart 11 hippies spoiling eastern for legit tourists continuing a aeries of letters home from janice carter to her parents mr and mrs ormte carter describing a tour which she is taking with karen kor- rack of glen williams and some english girl friends 4 peshawar pakistan december 13th arrived hre yesterday in brilliant warm sunshine there are palm trees flowers lots of greenery and we left snow in kabul sheila and chri were only aick the one night so that was good and we are all well now tuesday was quite uneventful and as we were becoming tir ed of kabul we decided to leave wcdnesdajuam sheila parti i sat up very late drinking tea with the boys they were very interesting especially as they understood everything we said they have been working in greenland at the american air- force base so they have seen most of the films we have seen and read the same books they hope to sell their land ret er in nepal and get work again in thailand or australia oh has been to nepal and india before and had lots to tell us wednesday we got up fairly early and went to the consul ate poste restante etc in or der to get organized we also wenl- to the bazaar to change njoney as you get the best rate forchanging dollars into paki stani rupees in kabul about double ed in the living room of the customs house for the night we were up soon after dawn chris and karen came in to say that hcy had arranged a lift to peshawar with atruck driver what a truck the en gine was exposed and pone too proficient and the body was very rickety pattiy karen and i sat in the front with a grinning afghani driver chris and sheila were in the back with the silent mechanic we free wheeled our way thru the khyber pass with frequent stops for engine renewal the pass was very impressive narrow roads moving almost like stair steps vp a steep rock faces there were lots of forts on the tops of the cliffs and many border stops so we really felt as if we were entering an other country the scenery changed drastically too much more lush and fertile and green everywhere the driver let us out on the road to lahore and we escaped before he could ask for any money we walked into the bazaar area decided to have tea at an impressive structure called the royal hotel we met a dutch boy called elgar who was living there he had spent about a month in paki stan traveling studying ev erything he could he works for klm in holland and can fly cheaply so he picks a country studies all he can ab out it and then spends as much time as he can afford to there wouldnt you know it was warm and sunny as we left the drive through the moun tain pass between kabul and jalalabad was magnificent it was nice to toe in a private car rather than a bus because we could stop for pictures wher ever we wanted because the weather was so good the boys decided to turn back at jalabad yuid go to mazarishalif in nor thern afghanistan we decided to hitch to the border that was a bit of a mistake because we ended up with crowds of people around us every time a car stopped we didnt mind too jmich but the boys finally got upset and decided to drive lis to the border we were pleased but felt that they had already done- too much for ua at the border everything was in absolute darkness at 700 pm it was ridiculous because nothing could go through until hbe nextmorning so we had to stay there for the night without lights heat or food etc the boys came to our res cue again brought out a gas stove rice tins of fish and peas and coffee we had quite a nice dinner then the soldiers brought us oranges from one of the trees they were sour but were refreshing we camp- friends with the hotel manager and his brother the owner about 9 pm they came back to the room picked up a guitar and we all wont up to his roof top apartment for songs and conversation and sweets and fresh cut sugar cane suddenly peshawar was alright we deci ded to stay over today as we are going to dinner tonight with them three german boys ramo thru this am on their way to lahorewepoke withthem for a while most travellers are very angry about the impression that the hippies have made on the people in the eastern coun tries we spoke about this last night as well because most people have to travel cheaply blue jeans hitch hiking etc thby lend to look a little bit like hippies and the people are immediately distrustful because a lot of hippies evidently beg in the streets and spend all their time smoking hashish then people who are gcjiuincly interested in the country and its people have trouble in be ing accepted by the inhabitants it is not even the hippies who arc to blamo since they are of ten interested in the eastern culture but it is the people who masquerade as hippies some of the outfits in kabul were unbelievable and take ad vantage of the freedom they have in these countries to ex ploit the people anyway there are a lot of sides to this prob lem the official altitude is wrong too our danish friends who have planned and worked the georgetown herald thursday march 20 1969 page 13 easter seal funds help restore childrens health the annual mailing of easter seals is one of the biggest vol untary projects undertaken in ontario in the interest of chil dren in 230 cities towns and villages members of easter seal service clubs such as rotary lions kiwanis kinsmen and others are seeing that

carried on a nor mal existence the publics sup port to the easter seal campaign has made additional services and expansion of activities pos sible so that the society through its field offices is con tinually reaching out to help children who have a physical disability and need assistance rehabilitation for crippled children can very often be a lengthy and expensive program we decided to slay overnight in peshawar as patti arranged a room for 5 rupeees r the 5 of us a rupee 20c official but about 12c according to the exchange rate we got in kabul we sprnt the afternoon wan dering around hoping to meet a nice family but no luck we felt it would be best to leave early in the morning as we didnt really like it there after a very hot dinner i had to use lots of bread to get the stuff down we sat in the lobby quietly hating peshawar and finally went to bed at about 630 i fell asleep but patti and sheila went back down to the lobby where they made hard for their trip ran only but when the results mean some get onr month in india for ev ery 100 in travellers cheques they want to travel to nepal and ceylon and all over india but they dont have enough money in cheques even tho they have more money all told j pled child according to the embassy the reason for the restriction is to lhc local s cut down on hippylike types children will eventually be in dependent in movement and speech the time and cost is not important it is most important to know that every easter seal gift will be of benefit to a trip- entering the east they are about the most unlikely people to be kept out of a country as they are cleaner and healthier and hotter groomed than we arc and richer but the law is the law it helps to be a brit ish subject out here continued next week service clubs
