SAANICH PENINSULA AND GL

ULF ISLANDS REVIEW

A North Saanich girl, Susan Mar garet Collie MacNeill, 19-
year-old daughter of Major and Mrs. C.E.C. MacNeill, 1492
Land’ s End Road, has gone to France to learn the language

“‘as she is spoke.”’ Susan is living with a French family in the
south, and is teaching her language to the youngsters of the

family.

This is the second of a series of accounts Susan is writing
about her trip and experiences.

BY SUSAN MACNEILL

The instant our. plane
touched down in Paris, buses
were rushed to meet it. We
were all shepherded onto them
and driven to a waiting room,
where we were arranged into
groups as to where we were

. Boing. It was certainly a far
cry from Montreal... Most of
the hostesses spoke English
cand were very nice. I was the
only one going to Marseilles
and must have looked a little
lost, because a charming man,
“who looked like Omar: Sharif
and spoke excellent English,
- came to my-aid and directed
me to all the proper places.
Then I had an hour to wait for
my Air Inter flight to Mar-
seijles, and spent it surveying
the world as it passed by.
Everyone..was very smartly
dressed. There were quite a
few pant suits and a couple of
midi skirts, but the latter were
conspicuous by their absence.

~The little boys were all

wearing the most diminutive

“shorts and. looked: perfectly
sweet. Everyone was. very:
dark and I really felt that 1
was. at last. In France.

The plane | to Marseilles was

_ absolutely. overflowing. with |
French businessmen. We
* taxied about on the runway for
five minutes: and just'as_ Te
- tholight we ware about to take
off, the plane ground to a halt
“and the stewardess announced
that, due to the. Air Control
“strike, there would. be ‘a-half-
“hour. delay. I’ spent ‘this time.
yNeinly searching for the Eiffel
Tower on the horizon and am’
“very. disappointed to. ‘report
~ that: I caught not. even. a-

hour late at: : Marignane. air-,
oi port, which - was absolutely. ‘
~ boiling. Naturally, just as 1
was about to leave the. "plane,
the strap on ‘my “handbag”’
ey ~ (the 121 pound one) broke; so
i made’ my’ ‘grand entrance -
“with it tucked. uncomfortably
“under my arm.1 went straight -
to customs, “which was vir- |
“tually empty and immediately
discovered my luggage. Iwas :
very relieved about this, ‘as, at.
Pat Bay Airport, I had. been.
- told that I'd have to go through
Customs at Paris: -whereas ati
“Paris: I'd been informed. that»
“my luggage would go straight.”
through to Marseilles and I'd
had a nagging ‘little ‘feeling:
since leaving Paris, that
-~perhaps all. my. stuff, was
waiting at. Orly “Airport
(Paris) for me to claim it.”
I now steeled) myself to go’.
through Customs. The ordeal
was. quite. something. A
woman jabbered something at
me, $0} Jooked her straight in
the eye and announced
-elearly, *Je one comprends
pas”. whereupon she slowed
down somewhat’ cand 1.
“managed. to catch the words,
cigarettes, parfums,..and-
gathered that: she Wal asking.
me if f had-any such in my,
- lugeage: a} replied very firmly:

She promptly waved me

was Offered to me in French,
and my French is not too
fluent to say the least.

We arrived at their chateau
after passing through several
small villages with narrow
cobbled streets. It is in the
country, surrounded by
vineyards and very old, as is
everything ..around- here.
Aithough it was 1 -p.m.here, it
was 4a.m. forme, so 1 thought
Thad better have a slight nap.
However, this was easier said
than done. I had forgotten that
such heat was. possible. It
brought back vivid: memories
of nights in Australia when we
would retire. to. bed with
sopping. wet flannels filled
with ice cubes to: try and
assuage the heat. I-was pretty
tired though, so after an hour
or so drifted off and had a gocd
fourteen hours sleep, after
which I felt somewhat. better.
and ready to face. whatever
the future might hold. —

A CHILD LEARNS TO SWIM

Le ;

This is the eighth lessor
to swim. You started by usin
learning from:his mother.

rof ten for a child learning
va legend of Freddie Frog

During the lessons Freddie

began to imagine himself a submarine cruising through

the water searching for sunk

en treasure, In the last les-

son your youngster wus imitating a submarine with rear

motors.

Now tell your child his arms are e the forward motors

ofthe submarine. Show himy
arms to help propel you throu

our technique of using your
oh the water.

You and the youngster go to his waist depth of water

and face the shallow

end of the pool or the shore if you're

ata beach. Lie on the water and demonstrate a windmill

or paddlewheel motion with
over your head
thighs.

Let your child practise

your arms. Bring each arm
, into the. water

and through it to your .

these windmill or paddle-

wheel motions. Praise him on the amount of water he
pushes back as he pulls. his arms through it. He'll quickly

find he can move ahead.
“Look, ’'m swimming.”
