be recycled. In fact, they now
accept any hard cover and pa-

same machine to salvage the
recyclable pages.

cent years there’s been a startling
increase in “non-accidents.” Theft

These claims, including wind-

by $40 million over 1990. In
spite of prevention programs by
the police and ICBC, such claims
are increasing the cost of auto

they add up to some $170 million
in auto insurance costs that aren't
always “accidental” and it doesn’t
look any better for 1992.

All of us are the victims.

Again, I was not enthusi-

Bunny, fortunately, had the tickets in her
capacious purse. I reported the loss but nev-
er heard a word about it afterward from the
company, but since ‘hope springs eternal in
the human breast,’ we boarded the train,
found our porter and entered our tiny room.
Nothing, I assured myself, was going to de-
prive us of once again living our heritage —
neither bureaucratic delays and inepti-
tudes, sudden changes or surprise, good
and bad, nor alarms and excitements, all
of which we experienced in the course of
time, could dull our sense of adventure.

Therefore, having quickly stowed our
luggage and seated ourselves in the com-
fortable easy chairs on either side of the
window, we prepared for that most impor-
tant part of any train journey — leaving the
station. It has a kind of kinship to the tun-
ing up of a symphony orchestra before the
concert begins, or perhaps to the prepara-
tions for a horse race — the whistles,
shouts, hurryings and scurrings, the almost
imperceptible quiver of the train itself.
Then there is a momentary hush — and my
notes pick up the theme:

“With dream-like imperceptibility the
station platform seemingly slips backwards
into shabby railway sheds and then into
rail guards, oily-dark even in the late af-
ternoon sun. Moving forward now quickly

a better view of the constantly changing
Fraser Valley as the train’s rhythmic patter
and gentle swaying merges with the move-
ment of fields, trees, and communities
small and large — all without any signs or

identification. In Britain, by way of con- |-

trast, every hamlet, town and city has at
least one, often several railway signs pro-

laiming its exi Canaj eh? The
national inferiority complex — who would
want to know who we are?

“Since the track follows the river and the
valley of the mighty Fraser, there is a
steady change in the character of the wa-
terway and the landscape. Other countries
make millions of dollars on scenery far in-
ferior to this, but where are we?

“The valley rises steadily, while a sur-
prising variety of trees at trackside slip by
in endless parade. Small lakes and sweep-
ing rugged hillsides appear and disappear
as if by magic while the rich bottom lands
are devoured by urban sprawl and black

top.

previous visits but because the brakeman,

sent merges once again into the distant re-
membered past and the old euphoria of
train travel washes away all frustrations
anc dismays as we start out in mounting
antic.pated pleasure for Winnipeg and all
poinis in between. The realization that at
that moment some nimble-fingered crook
was probably on the Vancouver rapid tran-

that an almost totally indifferent Via Rail

true.

“I start looking for Westminster Abbey,
high on the long ridge on our left. I think at
first in minor panic that I may have missed
it, as the train, a long sinuous silver snake
winds its way between farms, trees and the
ever-surging ins. Then, suddenly,
sharply outlined tall against the sunset the
Abbey tower appears.”
