SAANICH PENINSULA AND GULF ISLANDS REVIEW

Plan First For The End
Of That Holiday Party

If you’re having a party this
holiday season, it can be more
Successful if you spend less
time planning how to get it go-
ing and concern yourself more
with how to end it properly,

This advice comes from the
“*First a Friend ... Then a Host’?
Program sponsored by the B.C.
Automobile Association. It is
aimed at reducing the large num-
ber of after-party traffic ac-
cidents occurring each holiday
season.

“If alcoholic beverages are
part of the party menu,’’ Says
BCAA president Conway Par-=
rott. “It is imperative that
Motor age hosts consider their
guests who will be driving.’

Holiday entertainers should
plan the party from the end,
not the beginning, Mr. Parrott
Suggests, with these ten steps
in mind:

© Make contingency arrange-
ments for accommodating over-
night any tipsy guests who other-
wise would have to drive.

o Devise means for tactfully
Inaking passengers out of driv-
ing guests who May have over-
imbibed -- have taxi service
available or pre-arrange for an-

other driver who has abstained
to transport them home,

© Stop serving liquor alto-
gether at least an hour before
guests wil] be leaving, Time
away from the toasting is a
Most important element for
those who must eventually get
behind the wheel of an auto.

0 Gradually substitute rich
desserts and coffee for high-
ball glasses as the evening wears
on.

0 Midway through the party
serve a tempting meal. Food,
especially starchy types, helps
to moderate effects of alcohol,
while decreasing desire for ad-
ditional liquor.

© Pace the party. Make or-
ganized games and other activi-
ties, the focal point of enter-
tainment, not the bar.

0 Emphasize food. Place lots
of attractive and varied snack
trays throughout the party area
and replenish them often.

o Set up a self-service bar
featuring lots of non-alcoholic or
low-alcoholic content beverages,
Such as exotic fruit juice mix-
tures and other soft drinks.

0 After serving the first
cocktail, let guests help them-

selves. Guests who pour their
own usually mix fewer and less
potent drinks than does the host,

o Never push drinks on guests
who are driving,

“The admonition, ‘if you drink,
don’t drive,’ is still the best
rule,” Mr. Parrott advises,
*“‘but too few persons follow it.’?

“It is more realistic,» he
Says, ‘*to expect the host to
follow a few guidelines which
can stabilize the celebrating and
literally assure his motoring
guests many happy returns.°’

Festival

Expansion
Planned

Victoria Fair next summer will
use the basic formula that led to
Success during its first season,
although new elements will be
added.

The new festival of the arts
has just announced plans for its
second season. Three classic
plays will again be featured for
Six weeks at Victoria’s McPher-
son Playhouse, ina repertory run
that begins July 16. Music will
open the Fair on July 3, with
the first of some 14 concerts.

Plays to be offered are: Tur-
queret, or The Financier, a

French comedy written by Le
Sage a generation after Moliere;
The Duchess of Malfi, John Web=
Ster’s most celebrated tragedy of
revenge; and George Bernard
Shaw’s Androcles and the Lion.

Like Moliere’s Tartuffe this
year, Turqueret will be pre-
viewed in April for a week and
be introduced into the repertory
early in August. The Duchess
of Malfi, will begin the season,
with Androcles to be added four
evenings later, on July 20.

The same team of Ralph Allen
and Wandalie Henshaw as direc-
tors and Robert Cothran as
designer will produce the season.
All are members of the theatre
department at the University of
Victoria, Emphasis in the com-
pany will be on ensemble, anda
number of last year’s top per-=-
formers will be seen again in
leading roles.

There will be a broader pro-
gram of supporting events
than the one offered last year,?’
said Dean Peter Garvie of the
University’s faculty of fine arts.
“‘Wevhave resisted expansion for
its Own sake, though, and are
concentrating on setting even
higher standards than those of

1969.”’

BOOKLET LISTS
ACCOMMODATION

Nearly 2,000 govern-
ment-approved tourist ac-
commodation establish=
ments are listed in the
1970 edition of the Brit-
ish Columbia Tourist Dir-
ectory, just off the presses,

Known as the ‘‘Green
Book’’, the Directory con-
tains visitor information
on all areas in the Proy-
ince. It lists Provincial
and National Park, Ferry
information, transporta-
tion companies, and gives
information on all prom-
inent centres and areas.
Strip maps and a list of
licensed guides are con-
tained in the 144-page
booklet, of which 750,000 °
copies will be available for
distribution.

Record Set In Use Of
Provincial Parks

Visits to Provincial Parks
topped the seven million mark
during 1969, it is announced by
Recreation Minister W.K. Kier-
nan.

Increase over 1968, the prey-
ious record year, was more than
10 percent. Camper nights rose
by 98,798 to 1,394,147 and day
visits by 577,318 to 5,630,597.

Good summer weather and an
early spring coupled with more
leisure. time and the need for
getting away from the hustle and
bustle of urban living are con-=
sidered to be major factors in
the substantial increase,

Origin of campers has remain-
ed fairly constant over the past
five years with British Colum-
bians topping the list at 50 per-
cent, with those from the United
States following at 22 percentand
other Canadians in last position
with 19 percent.

The changing pattern ofcamp-
er accommodation became more
apparent this year withfirstrec=
ords indicating that 42 percent
of the campers used tents, 17
