Point of Ottawa Visît Margaret Goheen brought back a glowing and sparklcng report to the Bowmanville Ro- tare7-Iriday of her recent Ro- ta ?ýverrnsored "Adventure in CitizÏnship" trip 10 the Cana- dian capital, Ottawa. Miss Goheen was chosen es the student 10 represent Bow- manville High School aI the an- mla citizenship event at whic'c 185 studenîs from as fan as Mission, B.C., and St. John's, Newfoundland, gathered for four days 10 inspeet the seat c! Canadian democracy. Her parents, Mr. and M-s. Gannet Goheen, 45 Liberty North, were algo speciai guests at the Rotary lunche on. Tullp Dlaplay A memnorabie sight of ber visit to Ottawa was the beau- tiful array of tulips. "'You cant imagine jusI how magnificent the tulips were", she said. "We saw 500,000 blooms in one bed alone and of every hue of the rainbow. They were lined up like straight soldiers along thi miles of parkways." Matching the beauty of the tulips is the city itself- and Miss Goheen pointed out th2t construction is now under way to make Ottawa more attrac- tive. The projecîs include a new, city hall, a new art gallery, and a new university. "As a tourist attraction," she told the Rotarians, "plans are being made to revive the prac- tice o! having the changing of the guard aI the Parliament Buildings similar 10 the cere- rnony at Buckinghami Palace." HoId Discussions Each morning, the students heid group discussions on var- ious topies aI Carlton Univer. sity and the remainder of thc day was spent in touring the City. "On aur tour of the Parlia- ment Buildings wve saw the us- ual points o! inlerest such as the House o! Ccmmons, Senate Chambers, Parliamentany Lib- rany, and Memonial Chamb,-r. Il was fun to look ouI fnom the top o! the Peace Tower and see the entire view of Ottawa." "The event we had ail been looking forward 10 was the event we ail missed. That was, of course, Panliament in ses- sion. The guide explaîned ail the proceedings to us but some- hôw il wasn't quit-e the same. Pérhaps I shall have the op - portunity to sec Parliament aI some other lime." Court lh Hlghllght "The Supreme Court ap- pealed to me more than any- thing. The building ilsel! was simple but magnificent. To nie il is the most solid and majes- tic of ail government buildings. It gave me a thrili 10 walk through the same doors as tne chie! iawmen o! our country and hear their voices. In my opinion the true spirit o! dem- ocracy lies within these wails. Il is not the actual words that were spoken but the quiet dig- nity." An unexpected thriii for the speaker was seeing Sir An- thony Eden aI the Government House aI the lime he was ne- cuperating from his operation.
