The sting from a word maliciously spoken’
Does not hurt as much as one trust that

And the searching spirit is “it-defined
I£ in quest of Truth it must stay confined
Within narrow boundaries of one race

or creed
Impervious to another one’s deeds.

For the mystery of Life is slow unravelled
By pursuing paths that have never been

And as the earth around the sun must

So Truth from ‘man’s search must surely

The other factor, is the tourist bur-

Osoyoos is a tourist town, and the lack

is a service that we must provide if we
