She is awaiting her Grade 13 results and is hoping to enter teachers college in the fall. Karen Welland is working at Milford Manor prior to going into nursing in the fall. Wendy Mason is on a holiday from her nurses training at the Women‘s College Hospital. Official agents Steamships and Bill Harris worked three weeks for Miller Paving as a flag-boy on Highways ‘7 and 11 while they patched the asphalt. Blake McMaster was caddying in the “Mill-at Trophy” at Up- lands. Most of the boys from 11 years of age have been cad- dying at the local golf courses. Folks returning from holi- days recently include Mr. and Mrs. L. Yuzwak of Woodward Avenue, who spent six weeks in Europe, flying over with the Lions for their convention in France. They returned by SS. ‘Invernia via the St. Lawrence and Quebec City. The cool damp weather that greeted them on their return was typical of the elements they experienced throughout their entire trip. Mr. and Mrs. T‘hiei‘s took a motor trip up north. travelling by ferry to Manitoulin Island. through North Bay, Sud‘bury. They visited friends at Ottawa before returning home. The Ross family spent three weeks of fishing and swimming up Bancroft way. Trudy John. son. Daphne Armstrong, Penny and Georganne Tonks, joined the Richmond Hill Guides at Camp Adelaide for a week.

But there is a lot of pick and' shovel slugging too. and the heat. the black flies and the mos- quitoes. burn and bite with as much venom as when our an- cestors hacked their way through the bush. As we shopped in small vill- ages. talked to people in each ‘province, viewed with respect lthe growth of cities and recog- ‘nized the peculiar charm of each province. we felt that travellers lon this road extending from ‘coast to coast would soon blend least and west. and we would drain: l lbecome truly trans Canadians. Every small inhabited spot is, marked on the map and at Eng-l lish River. where only a garage and a couple of buildings are visible. they have humorously‘ made their sign read. “Looking‘ for English River? Well here‘ it is." By the time you have ab- sorbed the information. “there it was." ‘ Winnipeg has grown from a Isprawling prairie town to a beautiful city. The grand stair: way of the parliament buildings. with their great buffalo is something to remember. To evoke interest in history there is picturesque old Fort Garry and at the CPR station the Countess of DuHerin stands. It was the first railway engine to enter Western Canada, a sym- bol of the other great pioneer road building. The name Regina describes their legislative building. for it is a queen, regal and dignified, and approached through beauti- fully landscaped grounds. ‘ And on the prairies, strange to us. oil pumps were quietly running in farm fields. In Saskatchew- an there would be several sections with no house in sight. The owners had mov- ed to town or city and com- muted to work. In Ontario we do it in reverse. In settled Ontario, the orange- topped white posts, indicating that Trans Canada Pipe Line ’had been there, are hardly not- iceable. But they stand out against the dense bush of the wild country. and again we think. “here is the romance of modern pioneering.” This was a hard slugging job too. Late in the first day we not- iced a gradual change in the way of life. Frame houses took the place of stone and brick; great truck loads of logs sup- planted milk trucks; manufac- turing plan-ts were turning raw materials into first process, such as pulp: small villages were almost hidden by towering ele- vators. Many small western villages advertised their achievements and we were interested to read one sign painted on wood, “elec- tricity installed 1960 â€"- and the cost. Water installed in 1962 â€" and the cost. Sewage planned 1963 and the estimated cost.” a Ulllll“ LIIUIC Will "C d VIEW UI. yLUV'luvc fl awn-puns“...

The directional signs are so clear and frequent that getting lost is almost impossible â€" once you get out of the cities. The highway climbs and dips through the beautiful Canadian highlands, and to anyone but coastal people. they are moun- tains! Suddenly at the top of a climb there will be a view of breathtaking beauty.

Points of historical interest have markersi We just missed ‘a re-enact- ment of the Batoche Rebellion. Taking part would be soldiers in the original uniforms. Indians in war paint and Mounties. The prairies have their own beauty. Crops were just high enough and green enough to make great areas of land appear like parks or golf courses.

Price of gas varied from 39 cents to 58 cents. Our average was 53 cents; oil $1.38, grease job $1.50 and a service charge of $2 when we thought we were out of gas but had failed to use our emergency supply. Total car cost was $61.60 We could have arranged chea- per sleeping accommodation, but for two women alone, our hus- bands were apprehensive about camping and they preferred mo- tels to cabins. The cost for two of us aver- aged $9.50 per night. Each room had two large beds and two more could have been ac- commodated for $1 each.

Then it was a local afiair of 40 or 50 miles, now it prov-ides a rehearsal for some of the Calgary riders. Meadow Lake is part of the great northern hunting and fishing area. Seven thousand tourists find it a Sportsman’s dream come true. The many lakes are clear with sandy bottoms. so clear that the fish may he watched as they make their selection of bait. There are perch, pickerol. pike, trout. white fish. arctic grayling and goldeye.
