8-~THE PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, AUGUST 27th, 1050 The great yellow moon hung in the blue mountain sky as I recalled how the electrically-lit drum seemed to hang on the blue velvet backdrop af- fected by Glen Miller's Band, All I needed to completely bewitch me was the well-known Millar all-time favor- ite "Moonlight Cocktails". But the exhilerating mountain air that flut- tered the curtains in my cabin at Jasper Park Lodge one night late in July, was all the intoxication I needed. After my trip from Vancouver, when the thrill of watching from my train window the Fraser River dash madly through a cavernous valley to the sea, I didn't think there could be anything to stop this beauty. I was mistaken, I hadn't yet seen Jasper Park. The Lodge itself is in a jewel-like setting of greensward, gay flowering annuals and a lake as emereld green as the bow on Paddy's pig. This re- flects on a calm, clear day, the army of fir trees that march up to the snowcapped peaks of the mountains which circle the Lodge. - Tourists work hard at seeing all there is to see, and I was no exception. I even worked hard at relaxing in the wide stoné terrace overlooking the turquoise blue swimming pool. It's difficult to make oneself lie out on a white wrought iron suncot while im- agining what it must feel like to be within a hundred odd feet of the famous Angel Glacier. B8Y DOROTHY BARKER There is only one way to satisfy this kind of curiosity I found and that is to sign up for every darned tour out- lined in the highly colourful brochure at the transportation desk of the Lodge. I found too, to my delight, that the old breathless thrill of a time in my life when a ride on a roller coaster met my teenage longing for excite- ment, was not dead by any means. With a dare-devil University student (studing to be a doctor) at the wheel of the glass-domed sightseeing bus, the delicious shudders at dangerous] # curves were relived. Tall good look- ing Carl", who handles the bus on the mountain road as though it was a toy, certainnly knew the psychology of making his passengers believe they were getting their money's worth, If the bus went berserk on one of the hairpin turns, it was comforting to know that "Dr. Carl" would be able to practice some of of his hard won knowledge. To get in training for this more ex- citing trip I I took a jaunt to Maligne Canyon. I was assured that on this route there were no twisty roads or quick drops to take my breath away. Now I can't even gaze from the top of a steep ladder let alone down a rocky cavern of 184 feet, so when we had walked down a sunny mountain path and came to a little wooden bridge, 1 stepped aboard hesitantly. When I heard water pounding beneath my feet at what seemed at least a mile away, I remembered a sign on the pathway, "Rescue Rope at The Chalet"] I wanted to get down on my hands and knees and creep to the safety of the rocky path as I had once done at Capilano Canyon in Van- couver, Soon I gathered courage from my fellow tourists and peeked over the railing of the pine ridge, The white foam of the mountain brook dashed aganst its granite prison and there to watch it in all its futility was a single wild flower clinging with brave abandoon in a tiny crevice of the rock. Jasper Park fairly breathes rom- ance. It is not unusual to see Darby and Joan types walking hand in hand along the pathway that surrounds Lac Beauvert, The Lodge itself is staffed by approximately six hundred co-eds from universities right across Canada and I am sure they too, appreciate the spectacular moonlight nights, But perhaps the most romantic thing I saw during my three days -of bear nd deer hunting with a camera, was the French Canadian who chipped a piece of the lacier from the Angel's wing on Mount Edith Cavel. "It is my wife who is my angel. She did not make this trip and I take this home to her for luck", Well some people collect amulets of wood and stone, but this young man cuddled in a red bandana a piece of the Angel Glacier for his be- loved. That's what Jasper does to really sane people, Isn't it wonder- ful? HAVE YOU A QUUESTION on" UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE or UNEMPLOYMENT?

Every year I fish for two or three months, and last year I had 16 contributions for fishing, The unem- ployment insurance office where I filed my claim told me these contributions can only be counted in qualifying for seasonal benefit. Is this correct? A. Generally speaking, stamps acquired from fishing can be used only for seasonal benefit payable in the period first December to mid-May. Q. I informed the local office where I have been on ¢laim that I had made arrangements to leave for Europe in two weeks' time. I am registered as a bookkeeper and when I told the local office of the arrangements for a trip, they told me my- availability might be in question for a certain period to my leaving, Why is this? A. If you have made definite ar- rangements and are not prepared to accept suitable employment in the meantime, you may be considered as not being available for work for a period prior to your leaving for Europe, The final decision, however, would depend entirely upon circum- stances," Q.

Records - tributions prior to the current year are kept in the nal office these prior records must be consulted before it can be determined that a claimant has qualified, Rarely, how- ever, does this result in delay in pay- ment, Q. If some. stamps are missing from my book, what should I do about it? - A; If the affixing of stamps to your insurance book it due to an omis- sion by a former employer, you should go and see him and have the stamps affixed.
