20 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday. July DU uuuu uu ~- My first impressions of Holland were very good. I like it. Riding across the country, the flatness of the land, and the country houses which are styled uniformly and square. An' here where everybody has at least 7 or 8 cows in the backyard. a feeling of friendliness oozes around. A unique thing here is special bikeways for people on bicycles on or off the roads. In fact, half the people on the road are on bicycles or motor scooters; Musically speaking . . . (no that‘s not right) . . . as a columnist of a prominent paper . . . (let’s try that again) . . . Things appear to be happening in Holland. musically speaking (it's too late to stop now) and especially in Amsterdam. In that city there are a lot of freaks and hippies and things with lots of cheap hostels for them to stay at. This bunch inhabits an area around a monument called the Dam, in the centre of the city, near all the big 8 ores. I uvv- v-.. What had been happening? The band had just played in the Holland Festival, a rather straight setâ€" up, and were well-received, while in Amsterdam‘s woods, two weeks later, a festival happened with Pink Floyd and Humble Pie. A movie festival just starting when I was about to leave was Amsterock, By KOOP HEILBRON / Tean Seen In Holland On the way over to Holland on the airplane, I got into a discussion with the guy in the next seat about, among other things, music, lifestyles, and then the talk shifted to Steinberg's stores. He started saying how Steinberg’s was his favorite store, and even went as far as to say that Steinbei'g's parking lot was his favorite parking lot. It was late at night. the time we would have normally been asleep. We were tired, but in the back row of the airplane where the seats don't go too far back, we couldn't sleep. and started amusing ourselves by imagining the things Steinberg's could put out under their own name. _ p ullvll vnu u...“ Some of these terrifically funny lines of genius included Steinberg beer (Steinbeer), or The Stein- berg car (the Steinmobile) or pianos (Steinway) â€"â€" sound familiar? So while this doesn’t seem too funny to you, it did to us at this time, and while we Were laffin' like crazy, some guy comes out of nowhere, gives me a pen, and gives me some forms, to hand out. 7 ,7 _. ‘ a film festival, with things like Rock Around The Clock, Jailhouse Rock, Woodstock. and other conâ€" temporaries. Now talkin’ about Woodstock, it seemed that Holland had its own mini-Woodstock, ‘called Kraalingen. and featured the Byrds. about a year ago. At this time, now, the movie was out, complete with Woodstock-style lettering. With the Woodstock type thing, people seemed to he two years behind the times, and people were even asking me if I had been there. Frank Zappa is very big here. Records over here are terrifically expensive. Ordinary LP‘s are 21 guilders (about $6.50) so most people’s record collections are quite meagre, and as for radio, pop music is represented by two low-grade hopper stations. The number one song here is Hot Love by T. Rex, a fairly insipid song, which really won’t make it. I would think. Jack. I like it here, though. Some aesthetic values are apparent. Here are some Hippies. Almost no one wears wooden shoes. nobody eats tulips, although they do eat chocolate and drive cars. v Sifihihéhhound in Amsterdam. we are “wink- Iing", a Dutch word for shopping. We came across a Dutch Eatons called V&D, and then 10 and; behold, a Dutch Steinbergs, called Albert Hein. This really bugged me because I was enjoying the little stores and boutiques, and things. and then this giant super- market jumps on us. Albert Hein deserves a little credit, though. He really has his own beer. But there are other possibilities too. How about Heintz- man pianos? (sound familiar)? So I sit thinking about the relative merits of Steinberg's and Albert Hein. What are they? (how about love. life, and the pursuit of happiness“? (no cross that out . . .)

YORKSHIRE The brochure also describes Richmond. Yorkshire in these words: “The original Richmond from which the names of all others stem. The known history of Richmond dates from the time of the Norman Conquest when the area was known as Rich- mondshire. The land passed to an Alan Rufus. who fought at the Battle of Hastings. In 1071 a castle was commenced on a hill overlooking the River Swale. which was complete in about 1100. The Town of Rich- mond grew rapidly'under,the protection of the castle. Shortly after 1312, Edward III granted the town a Royal Charter. Fur- ther Charters were granted in 1576 by Elizabeth I, and in 1668 by Charles 11. Today Rich- mond is a thriving market town. serving as a garrison town to Catterick Camp. one of the largest military establish- ments in the country. and it is the regimental headquarters of the Green Howards. This year it celebrates in 900th year. The latter is the Royal Man- or and the Lord of the Manor is Her Majesty the Queen.
