OPEN DOOR OF CABIN APPRECIATED; UNINVITED BUT WELCOME GUESTS The uninvited guest Is not always welcome but here is an instance much the exception of the general" rule. In these days of looting and vandalism, particularly of cabins in the woods, the case is a refreshingly unusual one. A note louna Dy George Abbott when he spent the week-end at the cabin on a nearby1 lake off the Prince Rupert Highway which he and Ranee Place own revealed the incident pf where the old time rule of the outdoors was meticulously observed. A tourist couple, their appetite evidently stimulated by the bracing Central British Columbia air. had become hungry and, seeing the. open cabin from the road, proceeded to investigate the possibiltles. The note expressed their appreciation and their tangible desire to make It known. The note Is self-explanatory: "To the Owner of This Cabin, "Dear Sir: "My wife and I have travelled all the way from Dallas, Texas, and never In all my experience of travelling have I seen such hospitality as I have found here. Your OPEN DOOR should be a symbol" for this great country of yours. We didn't bring any food with us when we parked the car on the highway and, when we discovered your cabin, I'm afraid we took liberties with some of your food. We ate one tin of sardines and also one tin of your delicious Canadian salmon of which we hope to catch during our visit to your fair country. I sincerely hope this dollar I am leavlngJn place of the food will fully reimburse you for the same. "Goodbye and good luck, "TED AND EDNA BULMAN was achieved when come:y.
