I wish there was some way of
telling how many: British Colum-
bians have never been to Victoria,
On a radio program in recent days
I listened to a roving reporter in-
terviewing people on Victoria
streets. One woman confessed it
was her first visit to Victoria, tho-
ugh she had been born in Van-
couver more than 50 years ago
and had lived there all her life. 1
just could hardly believe it, I won-

Victoria who have never been to
Vancouver?

I, a native of this place, am
the first to admit Victoria’ can
be dull, but I have never dispar-
aged its natural beauttes and its
historic spots, For this’ capital is
the heart and home ‘of. history
