From the moment I stepped

Wveekend for Vancouver to the
Rime J returned there some
7 ,200-miles and two days later, I
was greatly impressed with the
ety features of the plane, the.

crew, and the fantastic scenery.

Bthe cockpit to see the maze of
Adials, switches, and detailed
information and instrument
panels facing the pilots, I was
seven more impressed with the
m whole bit — it all seemed so
easy to them and yet it all ap-.
S peared so complicated to me,

a Porcher and Banks Islands to
me, along with Rose Spit and

Charlottes, we climbed above
fee the clouds to 15,000 feet, to roar

below us.

multi-colored patchwork quilt.

YELLOW SHIRTS AND
MATCHING TIES

While waiting at the huge
Vancouver International Air-
port to board the northbound
plane, I was greatly impressed
by the smartly-attired per-
sonable young men who were
checking tickets at the waiting
room, dressed alike in their
yellow shirts, green trousers
‘and striped yellow and green
ti

€s, .
* One fellow in particular, had

a group of little old ladies in
mee stitches with hiseasy patter and
oem kibitzing about their luggage
; and their always ‘carrying
plants, and the attractive
blonde stewardess came to take--:
them to the plane first before
the other passengers.

- This.time, I took the longer,
inland route, which leaves
Vancouver at 12:15 noon and
Zee) =oarrives here about four hours

ee later. But what a iot of country
mae =6we covered and such a variety

me. of terrain!

; After swooping up easily from

the tarmac, we swung around in

wee =oover the multi-humped snow;

, stretched for miles and miles

mee. And then over the ‘drier.

mm: portions of the: interior, where
the ground lost its green, fresh
look, as we flew over sand hills
. covered with scrub foliage and
- sandy lakes, and touched down
at Williams Lake: some. 45
‘minutes after leaving Van-
couver. .

NORTH TO PRINCE GEORGE -

And then it was up, up, up in
the air again, as’ we winged
northward to. Prince George,
and flew over the familiar
greenery of the evergreens ‘and.
‘the maze of lakes and timber
tracts in that area, with many
logging roads leading to

' « ‘smoking: mills and the green.‘

anything in life — you can
- always look up to see the bright
side and the sunshine, or you
., can always look down to see the
darker aspects and shadows in
any phase of any part of your
everyday life and activities.

The thing which really im-
pressed me most, I think, was
the great efficiency and safety
stressed by these airlines, For-
instance there were seven
emergency exits - ‘Clearly
marked on our planes, along -
with an emergency slide in the
rear; and you had the distinct
feeling that each member of the
crew would know exactly how to -
react in case of an emergency

window to see some fantastic
scene, atid say to myself,
“Look, that can’t be real — 3

be left there, breathless.
