Dorothy Mowat of 52 Clark Avenue said somebody took a $500 color television from the house while Mr. Mowat was asleep in the livingroom Thursday after- noon. And the reason why he's so con- vinced that things are up down under. is that he and his wife. Dorothy, spent six months from September to February taking in all the sights and sounds of such far away places as Japan, Hong Kong. Bankok and Singapore and, ff aourse, Australia and New Zea- an . Well, if you were to ask Gordon McIntyre, recently retired assoc- iate director of education for York County Board of Education. he'd anSWer without hesitation. “Yes, New Zealand. I can't imagine anyplace else in the world I'd rather go.” And even though they've been back in their Richmond Hill home for several months. Mr. McIntyre recalls it all with an ease and en- thusiasm. and in such graphic de- tail that he makes it seem as if it were just yesterday that it all took place. "It was one of the big exper- iences of my life.” said the man who spent 43 years as an educator, starting out in 1930 as principal of a two-room schoolhouse in Huron County at a salary of $900 a year, which eventually was reduced to $600 as a depression measure and then upped to $700 again when the principal decided to quit. It was to be a long time before he quit the profession again, but when he did last year for the final time, he and his wife decided to see a bit of the world. “We didn’t feel We could just sit at home." he said. Can you think of anyplace else you’d rather be? goes the pro- vinclal government's pat-on-the back pitch about Ontario. That's right now; and if he were just starting out again on a car- eer, he’d go to Australia and get into business, the proper setting for a young man in a “rough, tough, hard world." Still. what's a little smog when they're all those other strange sights and sounds to take in, using your sign language in little side restaurants, where "they can do So much for government slog- ans. That's why they, plus Mr. Mc- Intyre’s brother and his wife, wasted little time embarking on their Asian odyssey. That, of course, and the harsh Canadian winter. So while everyone else in Can- ada was cursing the elements. the McIntyres et a] were basking in them, though there was some com- petition in such places as Tokyo and Osaka, where the rising sun often never made it through the descending smog. SOME CHICKEN “Very dreadful," is the way Mr. McIntyre describes the smog in Tokyo, which he says is “solid city”, stretching from one long end to the other in blocks of com- pressed humanity. GREAT EXPERIENCE By JIM IRVING Strikes, too, “are a very real thing," and everything shuts down on Saturday. except the pubs. And it was in the latter that the Rich- mond Hill contingent found some of their best and cheapest meals. 4 CENTS A PINT A glass of beer, for example, costs about 27 cents Canadian money, with the total pub meal amounting to $1.50 Canadian. Milk is four cents a pint Austra- lian, because it’s government sub- sidized. but over-all the cost of Labor unions in Australia refusâ€" ed to unload French ships after France’s last atomic bomb blast, and when a union put a green band on an building that may be con- sidered a historical site. even though it's "a horrible. despicable old building," no laborer can go near it to tear it down. Mr. Mc~ Intyre said . Australia and New Zealand have both had long experience in labor legislation. with labor governments in ‘both places. and labor has acti- vely entered into the life of both countries, Mr. McIntyre said. Entertainer Fran-k Sinatra’s re- cent run-in with the labor unions in aAustralia, when they all com- bined against him after he had sounded off against some news- paper people, didn’t surprise the Canadian travellers at all. â€" “the trafflc’s all tied up in Sydney and Melbourne" â€" and if you don’t mind driving on the left side dOWn nan-ow roads without curbs, you can touch off at all those familiar names: Queensland. the Great Barrier Reef, New South Wales, Adelaide, and of course, Melbourne and Sydney. Then a side trip by plane to Tasmania. Australia's sixth state. which Mr. McIntyre likens to New foundland. geographically. Then well drenched with the aura of the east, the travellers went to Australia. where they did what tourists the World over most often do when they land in a strange place: they rented a car. There‘s no such thing as a strai- ght road in Australia, said Mr. McIntyre. Twists are deliberately built in, which at leasts keeps the drivers honest and helps somewhat to alleviate the monotony of long. straight stretches. In Auétralta, thét's a godd Vii; vestment for a visitor, because there_aren'tflso many cars there Then, too, there was that sprawl- ing shopping mall that sprung up at 5 pm on all but the chief streets, as buses and cars came to a halt, and anything you wanted to buy was suddenly there before you. 01- being in Hong Kong, and revelling in those walks down side streets on the mainland at night. "Friends looked at us aghast that we would dare." said Mr. Mo Intyre, “but we never felt in danger." more with a bowl of rice and chicken than you'd ever believe." CURVES AHEAD 4“ 7 “If I have any one impression, It‘s the great goodness of the peo- ple that was shown to us on our holidays." Mr. McIntyre reflected at one point. living is as high as it is in Canada, Mr. McIntyre said. There is also a good deal of wide-open hospitality, Mr. McIn- tyre sai¢ complete strangers treat- ing them as old friends at various stages of their journey. He also recalled that they had a reunion with a former Richmond Hill couple. Stewart and Tony Wrightson. who are now living in Toronto. just north of SEVdney; so in another way. they were never really that far from home. "I can't imagine anyplace else in the world I'd rather go. Wherever we went, people turned to help us.” He said the Maoris, who were scattered throughout New Zealand. were an interesting people, known as the “Vikings of the Pacific," because of their long and heroic journey by boat from their native Polynesia, which they left origi- nally because of space limitations. The salaries. however. aren't comparable; a school teacher. for one, making from $3,000 to $5,000 annually. Still, there is less than one per- cent unemployment in the country. This kind of feeling carried on in to New Zealand, where they experienced the great warmth of the people there. “New Zealand is big enough that you don’t feal you're on an island, but it's small enough to get to know it," Mr. McIntyre said. “At my age and experience. I would like the New Zealand people. They're not old fashioned. but belong to the kind of civiliza. tion they brought from Scotland. NICE PLACE TO VISIT But space limitations are not exactly the problem in Australia and New Zealand. Like Canada. they're vast and spread out; unlike Canada, they have a short winter. Summer. in fact. goes for nine months. “it looked dreadfully drab,” until spring came along and freshened it up a bit. As a result. when the McIntyres got back to Canada in February, After all, when they left the land down under, the Jacaranda trees were in 'bloom in Australia. and the Pohutakowa. with its crown of crimson flowers, was aglow in New Zealand. But they'll be back. "Our family and our friends are here." said Mr. McIntyre. "And besides (Canadian winter or no) "it’s a pretty nice place." That's why they're already plan- ning their next trip: and sometime in December they’ll drive to Flo- rida and then fly to South America. “We came home to be very critical of the Canadian winter," said Mr. McIntyre. x 00%0000000000 o0 00000000000 ¢Q.flfi?§3§?flw0 w I. 6......... i“: N "n V O 5:. .0 V a! 5, 0’0 0:. :o’ O O O O V b no 3 m ' *3 o o ’9 O O O Q § 2‘?
