On Easter Sunday we attended church with our Vancouver hostesses, Mrs. F.W.D. Wilkins, Mrs. P.G. Dobson, Mrs. M. Edmondson and Mrs. G. Kerr, then spent the remainder of the day with them. On Monday we went by bus on a sightseeing tour of the city: Stanley Park, Lions Gate Bridge, the Business and Oriental Sections, Shoreline, the University of British Columbia, the Residential Sections, Shaughnessy Heights, and the beautiful Queen Eliz¬ abeth Arboretum. We later boarded the Princess Joan, which took us to Nanaimo. We travelled by bus to Victoria, with a stop for dinner at Yellow Point Lodge. At 11 p.m. we registered in the beautiful Empress Hotel. The Parliament Buildings, lit by thousands of lights, were most impressive. On Tuesday we toured Victoria and Butchart ' s Gardens. The next day we left Vic¬ toria for a four and one-half hour cruise to Vancouver. Then Friday night we left the Coast by train, and by Sunday morning we were all home, visiting our families. We re¬ turned to Q.D.S. on April 7. - Dot Kerr and J.J. Brown - Campbell Haliburton S. H. MORGAN (Regina) Ltd. CO. • Successor to Geo. E. Hook Co.

(The following is a personal account of the 1959 Easter tour to B.C. The Trippers” left Regina on March 25, and after a brief stop in Calgary, continued westward.) The train threaded its way through the Foothills, Bow River Valley and Banff, one of the world ' s most beautiful resorts. After leaving Lake Louise, our train climbed to the summit of the Great Divide and along the southern shore of Hector Lake, through the spiral tunnels, and on to Field. After leaving Field, we crossed the Kicking Horse, Columbia and Beaver Rivers, before climbing to the Connaught Tunnel, five miles in length. We arrived at Salmon Arm at about 8:00 p.m., where the party detrained and left by chartered bus for Vernon. Room accommodations were waiting for five very tired girls. Good Friday Morning, we had the privilege of attending All Saints ' Church, Vernon. We returned to the hotel, and Mr. Saunders, the C.P.R. chaperon, introduced us to the rest of the party. We left Vernon by motor coach for a drive along Kalamalka Lake to Kelowna. There we were taken through the Sun-Rype Fruit Processing Plant, where we were refreshed by a glass of orange-cot juice. ' During lunch at the Royal Anne Hotel, Mayor Parkinson gave us a short talk on Keowna and then accompanied us through the City Hall and to the Kelowna Regatta. Following our tour of Kelowna, we crossed the new floating pontoon Okanagan Lake Bridge to Westbank, then followed the shore of the lake to Penticton. After dinner there, we were interviewed by CBOX radio. We left Penticton at 9:00 a.m. Saturday by motor coach for a drive over the spec¬ tacular Princeton-Hope Highway, through the mining fields of Hedley and Princeton to Pine Woods Lodge in Manning Park. After lunch we continued our drive on the scenic highway along the Fraser River through the lower Fraser Valley to Hope. 70
