The 'big outdoors' was a great attraction when our team visited Ottawa, and a trip was taken to Camp Fortune high up in Gatineau Park. For centuries this area had been the undisputed domain of the Algonquin Indians, but on the occasion of our students' visit nothing more warlike could be heard than the beat of the pop group hired to provide music for dancing.

with John Barron as A.C.C. Gilbert, Glyn Houston as Det. Supt. Jones
Barlow has always believed in holding his cards 'close to the chest.' But as temporary Acting Co-Ordinator he is somewhat put out when his second-in-command shows a tendency to do the same. And when Det. Supt. Arthur Jones plays his 'close' hand without reference to Barlow, the result is an acute embarrassment to them both.

"For the last twenty years gambling has been my life. It's a terrible thing being a compulsive gambler. You've got no real friends, your family don't want to know you, and the only hope I've got now for the future - for my wife and my son - is to be able to stop gambling for good and all."
Colin Morris talks with A Compulsive Gambler about the problems he faces
David Parry Jones interviews The Rev. Leon Atkin on his idea of the Christian ministry today
"I'm the most orthodox minister there is if you take the Book of Acts as your source," says Leon Atkin. Most people, however, would consider him to be a most unusual pastor. He enjoys preaching but is dubious of the value of sermons. His is a listening Ministry, as people call with their problems. He admits that half of them, if not more, are on the scrounge. He doesn't want the company of the conventional minister; but wears a dog collar, a crucifix - and the beret which is very much his trade mark.
