Serves 4. CHILDREN by Danny Andrews This is the year of the child they say, Have you watched them when they play? They run, they jump, they have such fun Playing in the rain or in the sun. Boys play games that are rough and tough. Girls play dolls, tea parties, gentler stuff. They play the same the whole world round. To see children at play is happiness found. The color of the skin doesn’t matter at all, Children don’t care about things that small. To play and have fun is all they care. The world could learn a lesson, maybe then we could share. dish should only take a few minutes to are and should be done at the last minute. a renovated . If vou feel you're just not the “outdoor type’, you like your comforts. too much and the sec- urity of the known and perhaps fear the un- known.... think about it. Try it if you want to... You must want to try it and then when you do, you will probably be surprised at how you gain da new perspective on life, yourself, your family _ and your environment. The wilderness exper- ience can have a deep spiritual effect on you and something to cherish always. Before you go you must be well-prepared. It is not only important to plan you trip well but more important to know your limitations. So much of this is common sense but one cannot avoid the unexpected situations. It is probably best to plan the first trip as a day hike or just one or perhaps two nights camping out. You will find you will be more successful at choosing your gear after you have done your first trip. Tips on what to take will be tat eat in the next issue. We are temporary visitors to this wilderness around us. We must treat it as such and leave no mark of our presence. Remember when you discovered a perfect spot by a lake, only to find cans and bottles remaining from the last pick- nickers’ outing? Leave nothing behind - if you take it into the wilderness take it out too, Hum- an presence has an impact on many environ- mental factors. Some things to avoid are: veget- ation trampling, littering, erosion, water pollu- tion, visual pollution and general disturbances to the natural scene.. Treat everything care- fully - the riverside, the lakeshore, the grassy meadow and the alpine tundra. Plants found above the timberline are particularly fragile and once they have been damaged they.may not re- cover in our lifetime. Their growing period is short because the snow free time is short and some plants you see may be over 100 years old. If the flowers are in bloom, discover them and enjoy them, photograph them but do not pick them. Leave them for others to enjoy too and give them a chance to bloom again next: year. cecil OT ae CUISSES DE GRENOUILLES PRO VENCALE Frog legs Onion (chopped) Garlic (crushed) Tomato White Wine Flour Parsley (chopped) Lemon — Oil Coat frog legs with flour, salt and pepper.

SIMPSONS SEARS Order Sho) izes) 9 s9eF Cassiar Courier Page 7 If you are lucky enough to find a trail, perhaps well known to you or in a particular area set aside for wilderness appreciation, make the most . of it, stick to it. Don’t go trampling into the bush destroying vegetation and don’t make short- cuts - you often use up more energy in doing so. and you will also cause erosion. So minimize your impact and tread lightly where you go. Nature will replenish itself if given a chance. Learn to travel light. This takes time and exper- ience but the more you do it the better you'll get at learning not to need an eleborate camp. Leave behind the burdensome equipment - you have to carry it after all. It may also be harmful to the wilderness and annoying to fellow travel- lers seeking peace and solitude. Leave behind huge and brightly coloured tents, the propane lanterns, radios, saws, bottles, cans, and other cumbersome objects. Also leave your pets behind. One of the reasons you go into the wilderness is to. see some wild- life. Native wildlife often shy away from areas used: by dogs and this will lessen your opportu- nity of viewing what you hope to see. Barking disturbs wild animals and your camp and Fido does affect the sanitation around the campsite. Maintain the solitude. of the natural surround ings and avoid unnecessary noises. You will hear and see more that way, even if it is the wind in the trees or the rush of a stream. So much can be witnessed by the sensitive observer. Perhaps living and hiking outdoors is a favorite pastime for many but for those who haven’t tried it yet, it should become a very memor- able experience. If you are still apprehensive about hiking you can always try other methods such as paddling your own canoe, riding a horse or.in winter, cross-country skiing. But at least try a day hike, carrying water, a camp stove and pot, and a simple meal in a day pack, This will give you some idea of what to expect on a longer trip. Take the plunge - you will re- turn to the home comforts after the thrilling time and let's hope you'll be looking forward to your next adventure in the wilderness.
