Mrs. Atkinson writes: For more years than 1 care to remember I had al- ways wanted to see Finland. I guess I grew up on that dream because my parents, who emigrated to Canada in the early 1900's, were never able to make a return visit to their beloved homeland. They died. the years went by. but my dream never diminished. Finally in this year of 1969. I was able to spend my summer holiday in Finland. To accomplish this, 1' had in find a flight with the most for the least. It took four months of phone calls and correspondence with a travel agency in Port Arthur and the same length of frustrat- ed waiting for a passport. Then I had to fly from To- ronto to Fort William to be- gin my journey. This was a group flight and offered in addition to the plane fare. hotel accommodation and unlimited travelling in Fin- land.

Six beautiful stewardesses and a blue velvet gowned Finnish hostess kept us well supplied with food and drink. After brief stops at Am- sterdam and Copenhagen we reached Helsinki. My hotel accommodation proved to be in a small country town called Karkilla. It was won- derful to rest when I felt like it and to walk about the country roads to my heart’s content.

Then there was the Haap- osaari Island to visit, where my father grew up, which is home to three cousins. There I was feted with a Finnish steambath and freshly caught lake trout. What memorable peacefulness was found on that birch lined island mm the sun's rays casting a red glow across the lake! i saw most of the central and southern portions of Finland. It is a country of pine, birch and lakes. Every village, town and city is sit- uated beside a lake, so one is never far from a beach or fishing area. One of the nicest parks I saw was the Sibelius Park in Helsinki. named in memory of the famed musician. The Finnish are known for their love of reading and have perhaps the largest book stores of any country. They are equally fond of music, dancing and laughter.
