ZANSKAR 686-0844 ”I" THE OAKVILLE BEAVER arrived at his birthplace in Yorkshire, Eng, after more than a l0-year absence. An old school teacher buddy asked to talk and show slides to his students, and here began his lecture circuit which had grown to an audience of over 150,000 students by 1988 - the year he arrived back in Toronto. The stopover became a two-year stint as a school lecturer, choosing from hundreds of slides to tell sto- ries of living with Tibetans in the Himalayas, life in Equatorial Africa, and eating exotic foods. He experienced hurricanes, tidal waves, earthquakes, volcanoes, came face- to-face with a black panther, ele- phants . . ' and experienced the "fascinating cultures and the lifestyles of the underdeveloped world." Cyclist 'peddles' own hook In the book there is a selection of photographs from his travels, every- thing from an isolated information kiosk in Nova Scotia and an out- back youth hostel in Newfoundland, to the beautiful scenery along the Cabot Trail. to the breathtaking beauty of New Zealand: Fiji, where his intended one-day stay stretched into six weeks; the monsoon rains flooding the streets of Lahore.

Unhappy with the way his books have been displayed and selling in book shops, Howgate "pulled everything out of the book shops and stewed." Taking matters into his own hands, marketing the book from his bicycle, came after the book shops sold some 1,000 copies. "I got fed up with the distribution, the shelf space they gave . . . Book shops are quite often reluctant to take self-published books." Having decided to pedal the book himself, Howgate found sell- ing up to 100 copies a week is "no problem. For me, it's an unusual book - a good book (it's had a rave review in the Globe and Mail when it first came out), and I've 50% YOU SAVE 'LIVING HISTORY' dreds of photos of he met along the a he went, Howgate ratifying hospitali- 30-60%, Special Selection!

He uses about l20 slides per show, having edited the number down from about 500. In his shows, "I like to tease and stretch kids' imagi- nations." He's known to hold their attention for much longer than the allotted time - some presentations have lasted a full day! Car recycling Who would have thought used motor vehicles would be good for kidneys? This is the case with a new fund-raising program being launched by The Kidney Foundation of Canada. The Kidney Car Program invites individuals from across Oakville/Milton to donate. their old vehicles, running or not, for auction or salvage. "Not only will owners have their vehicle towed free of charge, they will receive an income tax receipt for the amount of the auction price and they will be helping the envi- ronment by recycling," states Karen Jeffrey, Kidney Car Program spokesperson. "We will accept any make of vehicle in any condition. Cars, trucks, boats, even motorcycles are acceptable." Jeffrey continues. Owners simply call toll free, 1- 800-565-55ll and they will receive a Kidney Car Program information kit.The time frame of this process, from the donor's telephone call to auctioning or scrapping the vehicle, is one to two weeks.
