SIDNEY VISITORS DESCRIBE PERSIAN GULF LIVING con-..: Luxuri¢ BY BERT GREEN In the eyes of visitors who are more familiar with the English scene and the desert vistas of the Persian. Gulf, the Saanich Peninsula is an. exceptionally favored place in which to live. Mr. and Mrs. John H. Loweth of Holyport, near Maidenhead in England, have been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Wilf Price, 8320 Ebor Terrace, for the past few weeks, and are much impressed both with the scenery and the weather. The ‘‘quaint village style” shops of Sidney and the bright and cheerful manner of the sales people. have. delighted «Mrs. -Loweth, while her» husband has particularly noticed the-practical play. programs provided for children in the Summer holidays. The visitors are now living in retirement in a green-belt area. near London, and not far. from Windsor. Until recently Mr. Loweth was European representative of. important. oil interests. in. .. Kuwait, with responsibilities that’ kept him constantly on the move in Europe, the. middle eastern ‘+ countries and the United States. ‘Stories of the oil-rich mini- states bordering the Persian Gulf are ‘legendary; _extravagance which have filtered means exaggerated in’ Mr. Loweth’s estimation: Shieks and. their satellites luxuriate in fantastic opulence, supported by ‘their. apparently inexhaustible oil. revenues.. The City of Kuwait has-become the Mecca ‘for salesmen to unload their. costly. merchandise in’ a market. which knows no: limit_ of. oprice. os of use they are given away to less. | 2828 BRIDGE _ , 631 Dunedin y bah ee D SY. er ett oe dp oon Sob yi hin arid Gh tit atid sid. i sae Pau fe tro: : THe CATA — E ~ OUR BEST WISHES | | On THEIR GRAND OPENING HOBART.
