LETTER FROM

MASSET,

| QUEEN CHARLOTTES

By Elvira C. Bryant

For the past lwo weeks we
have been pleased to receive the
Herald once again, so will haope
that such good service keeps up.:

Since very few.peaple seem to
manage time for letters these
days, al -least.some news is
often to be found in a local paper
some. of the

Thad hoped .to have written in

this moving from one spol to

‘another has taken up most of .

watching the wild birds across

-in the fields.and water....This

morning Vie’ was sure there
were a thousand geese spread
outover the fields. A long eagle
flew - over. and, pul several

- groups through .a litle: flying |
exercise. Down at the far end of

the small inlet we spotted ane
Jonely looking swan, but It is
likely there will be many more
of these beautiful birds arriving
as the weather: turns colder.
Many ducks were also. flying
around and a person could
spend much of a day. watching

all the aclivity.. For a change .

today, the cows that also graze
in the fields, were over at the
far side. ; i

During the past while we have
received letters from friends in
both West Africa and Australia,
Frieda and David Desreux have
been living in Surfers Paradise,
Queensland for a number of
years, but are now making
definile plans to return lo
Canada. Frieda has been doing
alol of painting while there and
it, would-be nice to see some of
these portraits when they
return. Apparently times have
changed there tao ‘‘avernight
we have inflation quite bad,
perhaps worse than what yau
have, jobless people, a
government that brought a
credit squeeze in and no one is
buylng a thing.”

David Desreux had- been

wearing & hearing aid, but

happened lo alend an annual
Chiropractic Convention at
Melbourne. When he returned
home he was carrying the
hearing aid and said he would
not need it again. He had had
adjusiments from the guest
speaker, who happens lo be the
Dean cf one of the Chiropractic
colieges in the States, = As a
result he was even able to hear
the TV when It was turned very
low, and In Frieda’s words, ‘it
is a miracle.”

The frlend in Sierra Leone
taught al Masset for two years
before going overseas [or
CUSO. She has found the kids
there are much the same “some
eager, some mediocre, some
lazy, but NEVER rude!" Her
spon in Vancouver had written lo
her about the group in B.C, now
composed of ‘'ex-Leachers” who
“oan't stand Ihe -kids any
