THE REVIEW

PAGE THREE

Former Review editor
H.V. Green and_ his. wife
Eunice have just returned
from a six week. tour of
England. In the following
article Bert puts. down a
few of his impressions of
the trip.

BY H.V. GREEN

There is no longer any novelty in
transportation from the old world
to the new.in a few hours of arm-
chair’ travel. Thanks. to the
charter flight and remarkable
organization: behind’ the. scenes
the transition is accomplished
today with the greatest facility
and ease and with a surprising
economy of cost to the traveller.

One inescapable consequence
of the flight from Europe to the

Pacific Coast, however, is the
“endless day’? to be endured in
the process of homecoming, the
day on which the eight hours lost
on. the. outward
recovered.

This ‘jet-lag’, as it is now
called, is the natural reaction of
the human frame to an excess of

- movement on a day that seems to

have no end, when the sun is
around its zenith for hours on end
and there is the feeling U that night
will never come.

Home at. last. one is utterly”

weary, and the following day one
is apt to wander about as if in a

. trance, ‘and. quite incapable’ of

dealing with the weeds in the
garden and a formidable growth

of grass. Only gradually does one.
come to grips with reality and

grasp the threads which were
dropped a couple of days ago.
Our .. homecoming» ‘from
England .on Saturday was
perhaps a little more tedious than

“normally would. be expected.
Eunice was up at 6 a. .m., for we
-~ had ordered a taxi for the 14-mile

journey. from’ Heston to Victoria
station in London. We. were

“determined to be: early at. Gat-

train with the morning. papers,
and we were at the air terminal
90 minutes before the required
time, ready for the usual
preliminaries of registration and
checking baggage. Our flight was
not scheduled until 1 p.m. Ac-
tually the take-off was 40 minutes
late.

Unusually for Britain the sky
was cloudless. Rapidly guining

ineantime, ship to shore phone
calls had failed to divert. those
who were to meet.us from. Vic-
toria to Sidney. so for us the
longer journey into town. was
inevitable.

Sidney passengers were safely
deposited at the Post Office on
Beacon and the Driver jumped
aboard the coach. But all he could
get from the starter was a
distressing whine. Again and
again he pressed the button tono
effect.

To the rescue came Monty
Collins. who hopefully suggested
he might tow the. bus with his taxi
and start the engine. The driver
shook his head ‘in’ unbelief but
agreed to give it atry:

So -Monty: backed up and. at-
tached a nylon rope ta the coach,
took the strain and drove ahead.
The coach moved a few vards and
the rope snapped. Again the
-manoeuver was aitempted, with
the same. result. Nothing daun-
ted, they tried yet again and we
moved sufficiently forward to get
into” pear. Simultaneously the
motor fired and the rope snapped
once more. Bully for Monty!

Down the highway. and turning
into Royal Oak Shopping Centre
the engine stalled again. Using
momentum to jerk it into life was.
of no avail. :‘‘We’ve: had. it,”
announced the driver.

So it appeared. It was pitch
dark by now. Travel weary and
dead tired, ‘the dispirited
‘passengers... debussed:

it was well after 10 p.m. Ten

BOWLING ALLEY

Last hurdle in the bowling alley
controversy was crossed. at
Sidney Council on Monday with
the adoption of a zoning amend-
ment controlling commercial
living units.

At a public hearing on Sept. 7
only 12 people attended and all
were in favour of the. building
plan. which -involves - living
quarters: above the > 12-lane
bowling alley. :
‘Only Ald. Norma Sealey op-
posed the motion to amend the
present zoning bylaw’ which
stated that living quarters must
be behind, not above, .com-
mercial premises.
