Coast would probably not elicit raves
from some people, I enjoyed a recent
vacation from the dust and mud and
daly grind of eternal housekeeping
in Williams Lake.

And any trip with a 2%-year-old
can be highly entertaining as well
sis exhausting.

The bus trip to Ashcroft started
out well, with Blaine peering out and
at her fellow passengers with fascia-
ation. This lasted for possibly 15 or
20 minutes, then she wanted to go
home. Cramped, crumpled and weary
from wrestling with a bored bundle
of energy, I was unutterably glad to
see Ashcroft come in view some four
hours later.

Boarding the train, we staggered
the entire length of eight cars be-
fore we came to our berth in the last
one, As I undressed Elaine in the
sepulehral quiet of the dim car at
11.30 p.m., her voice seemed sud-
den. to boom as she eried “On a
train, Mommy, on a train! CHOO!
cHoo!”
| Fearfully I peered at the brown

Although a week's holiday at the !swaying curtains, expecting to see

eyes glaring down upon us. Then
“Where's my daddy?” Blaine seem-
ed to shout. “Shhbhh” I cautioned.
The silence rebounded with the
sound of her voice. Fortunately she
was a pretty tired little kid, and fell
asleep after one more loud “CHOO
cHOO!”

I discovered in the morning tha
we were esconced
on a posh new
Pullman made up
of eight standard
berths, several
compartments
and a number of
“roo mettes:”
These are tiny
compartments
with just enough
room for a berth, a toilet and wash-
basin, They cost only 75¢ more a
night, and the railroad company
hopes that one of these cars will re-
place carrying two half-filled cars of
the old style (mostly standard
berths with a few compartments).
I didn’t do anything terribly excit-

ing, but did see something new in the
way of pictures when we took in
“Under the Twelve Mile Reef” in
Cinemascope. The story wasn’t much
but the wide screen was impressive.
giving the viewer the feeling of being
right in the picture, especially in
scenery shots. After the first 15 min-
utes however, it was hard to remem-
ber what the standard small screen
was like. The sound was spectacular
too, and I found my head swivelling
trom side to side as the voices actu-
ally seemed to issue from the place
where the actor was standing.

One of the biggest thrills of my
coast trip, however, was-a visit to
the Art Gallery to actually see
Elaine's picture hanging in glory.
Loudly (ior the benefit of the visit-
ors who had not noticed the famous
personage in their midst) I said
“Look, Blaine, who is that up
there?” The dull character standing
beside us seemed more interested in
the pictures for some reason, except
for several annoyed glances he cast
at Elaine and her small cousin who
were running noisily through the
quiet rooms. At that point it would
have been hard to recognize Elaine
in Edna Blackwell's charming study
of her.

I understand there are pictures by
famous painters called Gainsborough
and Reynolds in the Art Gallery too.

On the way home we made a point
of driving over the much-publicized
new Granville bridge. But I was dis-
appointed for some reason or other.
Guess I expected something slightly
spectacular, but the span didn’t seem
much different to the now old Bur-
rard Street bridge.

Several new things which caught
my eye were the twinkling string of
lights which marked the chair-lift
up Grouse Mountain (at least it was
new to me); a new contraption on
cars — a light that shines out of the
year window and flashes red when
the brake is applied, amber when it
is released, and green when the ac-
celerator is pressed. With this in ad-
dition to the usual brake and stop
lights, some cars looked like per-
ambulating neon signs. And. I was
amused by the cute sayings which are
changed every week on signs at the
White Spot’s famous eating chain.
That week the sign read ‘Nobod
here but us chickens, and we're be-
‘ing fried.”

One of the most remarkable events
was taking a bus downtown to shop
in preference to driving down in my
Mother's car. But after spending
half-an-hour vainly trying to park
within at least six blocks of the shop-
ping district, and then rushing back
every hour to put another nickel in
the meter (a practise frowned upon
by the police, they tell me) the bus
seemed infinitely easier on both
nerves and shoe leather, oddly
enough.
