EASTERN CANADA FIELD TRIP

Cont'd from page 1‘

Diefenbaker and remained ‘with us, off and on, for the |
better part of the day. After a very interesting tour of :
the Royal Canadian Mint, we returned to Parliament
Hill to participate in a lunch hosted by Mrs. Campagnolo
and her staff. After a most enjoyable lunch, we listened
to 4 short presentation by Mrs. Campagnolo and. then
Colleen Williams presented her with a set of earrings
and a choker made by Colleen’s mother in Dease Lake.
We were given space in the Visitors’ Gallery of the
House of Commons and spent about an hour listening to
the Question Period and, of course, trying to identify |
as many of the M.P.s as we could.. Just before three, in -
the glare of TV lights, we finally met, shook hands with °
and briefly talked to, the Prime Minister. Mr. Trudeau
very graciously spoke with many of the students and
generally, left a favourable impression because of his low ,
key approach. A tour of the buildings and a visit to a|
symphony and a movie rounded out that day’s activities.

Thursday was museum day. We split into two groups
and worked our way through the National Museums:
War, Man, Science and Technology. All were of some
interest, but the consensus seemed to be that the Mu-
seum of Man was the most interesting, with its extensive
display of native artifacts.

The weather had meanwhile improved and so we left
Ottawa the next morning in real Springlike weather,
which, unfortunately, was not to last too long. The train
to Montreal took us through the eastern suburbs and
into Central Station. As we were staying at the Queen
Elizabeth Hotel, all we had to do was to walk through
the station into the hotel lobby. We very quickly dis-
covered that a good part of the downtown portion of
the city is underground and so a lot of time that day was
spent exploring the Metro - wonderfully fast and quiet -
and the underground malls. The afternoon took us to
Vieux Montreal - our first look at the original part of
the city. There was so much to see there that all the fol-
lowing day was spent either strolling or riding in a
caleche along the narrow streets of the old city. A little
bit of Paris and a lot of early Canadian history were
readily apparent as we toured Place Jacques Cartier,
Notre Dame Church, Place D’Armes and Bonsecours
Market. The contrast between the highrise office build-
ings and the seventeenth and eighteenth century struc-
tures near the harbour was quite dramatic.

A tour of the Radio-Canada headquarters took up
part of Sunday. The visit to the radio and television
headquarters was most impressive - unfortunately we
were unable to watch any actual production - that day.
The afternoon found us at the Musee des Beaux Arts for
an exhibition of artifacts made of South American gold.
Oh yes, the previous two nights were taken up with a

Wednesday, April 6 found us speeding to Quebec
City and two nights in the Quebec Hilton. By then, the
weather had turned quite cold and Quebec was snowy
as well. We devoted our one full day in Quebec to an in-

teresting and entertaining bus tour of the historic sites

and sights in the morning and a walking and caleche tour
in the afternoon. By then those of us who rode the
caleches had to be buried’in buffalo blankets because of
the cold wind. Still, it was interesting to wander through

We had planned more touring for the next morning, but
a wild blizzard-intervened-and it-was all we could do to
make our way across the St. Lawrence to Levis to catch
the Halifax train back to Montreal. Winter had returned
and, especially after a five hour, very crowded train ride,
advanced fatigue had set in. It was five the next morning
as we rolled out for a final glimpse of Montreal as we
made our way to Dorval Airport and the interminable
flight to Watson Lake. Hours and hours later, with stops
in Toronto, Winnipeg and other towns too numerous to
mention, we were home once again; jet lag ensured that
most of us slept for at least the two following days.
The above covers simply the highlights - the rest of

_the trip is better told in pictures and anecdotes. Finan-

cially, due to the hard work of the group, we were ac-
tually able to return with money!! Thanks are due not
only to all who helped make the trip a success - the
towns people of Cassiar, Good Hope Lake and Dease
Lake, but to Xavier. Nitti who worked as hard as any of
us and then was not able to go, the staff and students of
the Cassiar School for their patience and goodwill,
the parents who helped out with either fundraising or
driving and finally, the field trip students themselves,
The teachers were impressed from the beginning with

At birth a calf moose isa tiny, ungainly copy

\the

of its mother. If it is one of twins, it may weigh
13 to 14 pounds; if born singly, between 25 and
35 pounds.

The calf, helpless at birth, is kept in seclusion
for a couple of days, hidden from its many ene-
mies in a thicket or on an island. The voice of
the newborn calf is a low grunt, but after a few
days it develops a strident wail that is almost
human. At the age of only a few days it can out-
run a man and swim readily.

Of all the North American big-game animals,
the moose calf gains weight fastest. During the
first month after birth it may gain a pound or
even 2 pounds per day, and after in the summer
may begin to put on as much as 5 pounds a day

_for a time.

Alex and his sister Sara will never forget that
day. They were panic stricken and in tears. The
questions and exclamations of the crowd made
things worse. “‘Why are you giving them water?”
“Take them home, fry and have a good din-
ner."” These were some of the comments of
.the audience and the performers were five
year-old Alex and his little sister Sara.

Those two hens after laying a number of
eggs cooped up in their boxes and stayed
there several days. Once or twice a week they
flutter out screaming, eat and drink to their
fill and go back in to take their endless rest.
~ Alex thought of an idea and discussed it
with his sister and decided to give a dip to
their hens in the stream nearby. They knew
that if they give them a good tubbing they
will start being active and lay eggs soon. “Sure,
| want my. chicken to lay eggs soon.”’ agreed
Sara. So they have carried their hens and dip-
ped them in the stream. “| want mine to get
well soon so | am going to dip the head also.”’
announced Alex. ‘‘Me too.’ echoed Sara.
Minutes later: they raised them up and, were.
surprised to see their heads drooping down. |
They tried to straighten them in vain. Then
Sara got a bright idea. ‘‘Let’s give them water
so they will live again.” suggested Sara. “That.

is it.’ agreed Alex. Thus they put the dead’.

chickens on the nearby flat rock, opened their
mouths and poured water in. The passersby
stopped one by one and a curious crowd ga-
thered around the panic stricken children.
Many laughed and few showed sympathy.

Finally they had to admit the fact that the!
hens were dead, and they have to face the mu-'
sic soon or later.

With trembling hands they took the hens
home expecting severe punishment. But they
were puzzled to see the hilarious laughter by
their parents and siblings at the sight of Wr
How relieved they were!
