(From page 20) everywhere in the country, yet a healthy respect for the past is encouraged, the Chinese' greatest tourist attraction of all being the Great Wall in the North, snaking eighteen hundred miles in length, forty feet in heighth, and twenty-five in width, with lookout towers every quarter mile, On the subject of snakes, Talbot bypassed the oppor- tunity of dining at a Dog and Snake restaurant, although such are considered gourmet delights. in China. The guest chooses his own lively snake, which is then killed before him, and quickly fricasseed or stir-fried. He had no idea of the cost of food, all checks being picked. up by his Chinese government hosts, but Talbot said the group ate very well indeed, although many of the menu items were 'exotic' by Western standards; whole rost tiny, birds which wére eaten in tota, shark fins, and frogs in apples being three examples. Beer and tea were the common beverages used to wash down the enormous meals customarily devoured by the Chinese. Another drink, Motai, was a powerful liqueur which Mr. Talbot announced tasted "like liquid paraffin." As the group worked its way through the North in Manchuria, they stayed at Harbin at one point, a town famous for its many statues and infamous for its bad hotel. Bethune Hospital was visited, as were strip mining areas, mineral baths, a modern truck factory, a Deaf-Dumb-Blind employee factory and impressive, immense communes pro- ducing such foods as vege- tables and chickens. On one commune can be seen the world's ugliest pig, and Talbot has a graphic slide as proof. The Longmarch Commune, the showplace of all China, features mush- room culture, one hundred thousand dairy cattle, millions of pigs, and top wages of one hundred and twenty dollars per month. Nearing the end of their Chinese' adventure, - the group toured one of the world's busiest ports, Shanghai, viewing ship- building and a modern silk factory. Fashion here might be considéred odd by our standards, but girls ride smartly to work on their bicycles garbed in short skirts, socks and shoes, and white gloves. Taiwan goods are considered to be the classiest merchandise of all. HOME COMFORT ~ For All Of Your PETROLEUM REQUIREMENTS and .

Talbot pointed out in an ominous voice to his Port Perry audience that one would be "severly criticized' if caught in an unlawful activity in China. Nowhere could guns be seen, but public enemy number one might be the bedbug. In the South, steamy Canton showed off its ceramics and an American- built container factory as well as its outlying busy rice paddies stocked with finger- ling trout. The air condi- tioned trains helped alleviate the discomfort of travel in the hot summer months here. Rounding off their trip, Talbot and the group reached 'British China," Hong Kong, the world's melting pot, dirty, disorgan- A look at China by Peter Talbot ized, crime-ridden, but a place where everything is available for a price and where building is currently proceeding at a blinding pace -- a "fantastic city with some element of danger," to juote Talbot. He was home- sound from here, thoroughly satisfied with his 'senti- mental journey' to Tangshan, Peking Province, and China as a whole.~ Talbot's audience was thoroughly satisfied as well with the two-hour presenta- tion. A brief question period followed, then a viewing of souvenir objects such as watercolours, ceramics and gorgeous silkwear. Coffee and cookies were provided by the Friends of the Library organization and they and Bobbie Drew, who had intro- duced and thanked Mr. Talbot, pronounced the evening a decided success.
