" i l' i; ADVENTURE IN THESE sophisticated, disillusioned days, there is still room for wonder. Great events are under way. We don't refer to the spectacular atom-smashing sort of thing. We refer to the brand new crop of wide-eyed small adventurers who left home this month for the first time to go to primary Ischool. Imagine the fearful plunge into the unknown, the alien, the breath-takingly new. Imagine the tremulous joys slowly taking shape before tear-.dazzling eyes. In that simple world of primary colors and wavering songs, of game and make-believe, of wicked queens and beautiful heroines, the young adventurer finds that he must share if ?he would enjoy the unfolding wonders. He is he discovers, not only himself but an uncertain member of a small society. His atom-smashing elders have their own world-l kindergarten their own versions of the wicked 'spSqueen and the beautiful heroine, their own comnli-! "treated games and rituals. There are tears and sulks, "quavering courage and defiant fear, for grown-up nations, too. And before them lies the same inex-l orable necessity, the same wonderful dissovery, that "they are all members of a common humanity.

LAMBERT) Mrs. Elizabeth K. Lambert, of Fort Lewis, Washington, with her husband and children, made an automobile trip from Seattle to Prince Eupert this summer. The story of the Journey was published in series in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, from which the following is reproduced. Widely circulated in the western states, It undoubtedly will be of great publicity value for the Skeena Highway and Prince Rupert. This is the second installment of the series. This second day of driving presented an entirely new panorama. We entered a rolling, beautiful country and followed the old Cariboo Road, a relic of the stagecoach days. At regular intervals there are many of the former stagecoach stops, hostelries coaches were wont to stop for food and lodging. They are still j designated by their position on the road, 70 -mile House, 100-mile House, 150-mile House, with many others in between. Many of these houses are actually the original buildings with modern renovaUons making them more acceptable for current needs. Some are virtually In ruins while others have bee.i remodeled into private homes. Unfortunately the road bed on this particular section is as picturesque as the surrounding area. It is characterized by un dulating curves and rough chuck- holed floor without benefit of . i 1 j f siiumaers as Americans Know them. The road has a single wacs running aown uie centre reminiscent or old-fashioned country roads, and as long as an iour wneeis remain witmn that track all goes well. i When one meets a car, which Is not very often, then each driver assumes possession of one-half of the road which in cludes one ribbon of the track and merrily careens on his way. At the curve the general assumption is that there is no car on the other side and until su'-h a car actually presents itse.i Iar to face, the driver claims the! full track. At that point, and oniy men, adjustments are mad" to suit individual cases, and since no one drives very fast there Js usually time to talk it over before a collision takes place. Shortly after leaving Clinton we experienced our first mechanical" trouble on the journey. The, horn began to emit sharp, plaintive whimpers whenever the steering wheel was turned. Aj this usually occurred when meeting other cars, it proved most disconcermng to the ether Canadian along the way where the driver who had no idea what misdemeanor of his was causing us to honk at him. The map revealed no towns for miles ahead and yet turning back to Clinton seemed a very dull solution to the problem. We were nearing 0-uile House and decided to postpone our decision until we arrived there. 8C-mile House proved very satisfactory. In addiUon to a restaurant, a filling station, no cats and a dog with four bewitching puppies, the stage stop boasted an amateur mechanic who set to work, while we ate lomnn r.i c ,,a Sb4v iSUU MVSVAft tlHi Mikl damage temporarily repaired with n hit. nf string 9nd imp taDe. To mv knowledge the string and tape are sUll there; and nothing further has been done about it. The first town of any pretension beyond Clinton is Williams Lake. Here, if one wishes, an indefinite amount of Ume may be spent searching for a buried cache of gold which tradition says sUll reooses in a hiding place on the shore of the lake where it was placed many years ago. Details and more specific ,HE RAILWAY TO EVERYWHERE directions, possibly even a spade may be had by applyaif tj tnc Williams Lake Board of Trade, which is the local substitute for a chamber of commem. From here to Quesnx-l the road is quite mountainous and the going appropriately slow. For the benefit of the timid, however, it must be said that the highway never climbs to any death defying heights nor h one at any time far from small settlements. Quesnel Itself is an attractive small town snug among the hills With a varied choice in accommodations. Here we chose to spend our second night at an auto court. The hotel looked attractive bu we generally preferred the space afforded by the auto courts so that the children could be exercised, like the young animals that they are, after a cramped day in the car. Our mileage snowed that we had driven only 253 mllos since leaving Spences Bridge that morning, a mere trifle on paved highways in the status but no mean feat over rough gravel in Canada. The food at one of the town's two restaurants as in almost all of British Columbia's restaurants, was simple, adequate and comparatively inexpensive. Many of the cafes are Chinese owned and operated. Meatless Tuesdays and Fridays are still observed throughout the province, but chicken . is not counted as meat, and they make up the drificlt by aerrin many varieties of steaks on the other days of the week. In general we found meals about 25 per cent ehoaper than in the United States but much UriIOLSTEKINT.

One of the most pleasing features of dining in British Columbia is the friendly attitude of the waitresses and restanran-teurs which is greeted Joyously by those who are weary of the snipplsh insolence of the underlings In the presumably more civilized areas. British Columbia breakfasts late and dines late which le not furprlilng since their daylight saving schedule provides them with five hours of daylight after six p.m. In the summertime and one simply feels indecent going to bed with the sun still shining.
