Mary is a Terr- ace Bay resident.) A-"'Roads"' Scholarship? After intensive study and close scrutiny over many miles, we gypsies should qualify for some sort of sponsorship if anyone wants roads examined in detail. You want rough roads, smooth roads, flat roads, 15 per cent grade roads? We can tell you where they are. We find the quality of highways in the various provinces just as inter- esting as the scenery. Our roads here in northwestern Ontario are second to none, in our opinion. There were sections of the freeway be- tween Rivere du Loup and Quebec City in Quebec that Suggested collusion bet- ween the politicians and the tire manufacturers, and there were secondary high- ways which I'm sure were designed by race track en- gineers. And the work goes on-- at Rimouski, a lovely town to look at from the high- way, some entrances were under construction with single lanes, rows of shiny pylons, flag-persons, the whole bit--but not knowing our way around, we hesit- ated to drive in and have a look around. We hesitated too long, in fact, and found ourselves back in the country, beside the majestic St. Lawrence River. The diary for June 19 comments: '9:40 a.m., along the formidable Gaspe Coast; lighthouse and waterfall pics at Cap au Renaud and Ste. Marthe. 10 a.m., fracture planes, almost vertical, of exposed rock seem to confirm the Atlantic Ridge uplift theory creating Nova Scotia and styling these awesome cliffs. Construction on the sea wall between Riviere Claude and Mont St. Pierre illustrates most dramatical- ly the struggle between man and sea, so that all of us can enjoy. ""I1 a.m. Now I know what put the 'gasp' in Gaspe! The agony of the twisted rock strata, the belligerence of the wind, the roller-coaster road where it leaves the coast and has to go inland--they all generate a gasp of ad- miration, of nervous ex- citement, and sheer delight at being here!" June 26: '8:30 a.m., between Stellarton and the Canso Causeway. A re- freshing drive on a laid- back roller-coaster road in high rolling hills of mixed forest, sun-splashed as the west wind flicks the clouds around."' June 27: '2:15 p.m. somewhere in Sydney-- -driving here seems to be on the honor system. They don't need traffic lights. I mean, if you see a car stop in front of you, you know you have to. stop, don't you?"'

Two Terrace Bay men have entered the contest with their large speckled trout entry. on. After edging around 80 kilometres of mountain road, we know why the Cape Bretoners make such good soldiers--they learn 'left-right-left-right' in their first pair of booties! "It was $3 to enter the National Park portion of Cabot Trail. Right away we're into six miles of con- struction (good thing it's Saturday--no men or mach- ines working). N says with the exercise his arms are getting at the wheel, he won't have to 'pump iron' til September." From Sault Ste. Marie home we enjoyed the long, stretched-out hills and in- spiring scenery, for them- selves as well as for their meaning--home! And of the thousands of road signs we passed, I re- member this one best: 'Bridge Freezes Before Road."'
