Pens to be bothering them that day, the system actually works rather well. One of the major pleasures is the sense of time in abeyance, as you travel from one port to anoth- er. Ferry travel affords time for reading, relaxing or just quiet contemplation, while watching some of the most spectacular scenery gliding past the large windows which are kept surpris- ingly clean, given the number of seagulls in attendance The ever-thoughtful corpora- tion also considers the younger travelers and on many vessels they provide a mid-ship section set up for playifig children and parents to supervise. Most pas- sengers travelling without chil- dren avoid this area with diligence. For the older young genera- tion, there are sections on many vessels crammed full of video games, with their annoyingly interminable peculiar pings, wheezes and whistles, guaranteed to bring shudders to most of the older generations who leave the area at top speed. If the noise of the games does not bother you, the behaviour of the youth it attracts surely will Is there anything more pathetic than young love’ viewed through adult eyes? I have never been able to figure out why adoles- cents, both male and female, have to pummel! each other between cuddles and kisses, but that prob- ably exemplifies my growing up in kindlier, gentler times. On a recent trip, returning from our capital’city, on one of the smaller vessels that does not offer the distractions for youth, I Stopped in the cafeteria for a cup of coffee before finding a quiet corner in which to tackle the daily crossword puzzle. A dad and two children, a boy of about five years of age and a little girl, about three, appeared in the cafeteria line-up. The boy wanted ice cream. “There is no ice cream avail- able” says dad. “Then I want a chocolate bar” Says the boy. “No chocolate!” says dad. The girl quietly watches the scene and at children The Castlegar Sun Says nothing “Then I want a hamburger” Says the boy. “You will spoil your | Seasons Elma Maund dinner if you have a hamburger” Says dad. “You can have some juice” “I don't want juice!” yells the boy and proceeds to have a tem. per tantrum, throwing himself on the floor, wailing and kicking “All right!” says dad. “We're going back down to the truck!” Now the little girl joins in and also has a temper fit. Dad grabs both kids and leaves the cafeteria for the lower deck. There is a welcome silence, as many adults eye each other and nod approv ingly. “Dad seems to have handled that quite well!” is the unspoken accord I am immersed in my cross word puzzle when I realize that dad and the two children have just sat down at the table next to me. Dad organizes the seating arrangements and portions out juice and parts of a large muffin The little yirl sits quietly and eats her piece of muffin. The boy does not stay in one place ‘for more than two seconds. He is on the table around the He runs tables. He jumps ap my table. Dad is mak ing admonishing noises, but the boy ignores him. He scatters muf fin crumbs from.one end of the table to the other, onto the floor and onto his sister, then onto-me I quietly get up and leave, head ing for the window farthest away, and settle back with my cross word Then I am aware the children have come forward, nearby, to watch from the windows, while dad has joined a friend some way back in the area. The boy grabs the window ledge, hauls himself up by walking up the wall and Sits in the recessed window, which has a downward slanting sill The little girl cannot reach the ledge and.tries to imitate her brother. After several tries, she gives up in frustration and starts to cry, then to wail, and finally works herself into a fine old tem- and jigyk @ Course Continued from 3B cessful and profitable full service restaurants in the United States.
