_ Every Canadian should be very conscious of the importance of the American tourist and his dollar in our economy, and should resolve to help federal and provincial govern- ments to dust off the welcome mat and persuade these friends from 3‘south of the ‘border” to return year hfter year. The article says in part: . "Even the best of neighbours are fentitled to an occasional squabble. 80 it’s not surprising that despite the flow of unflattering words between Washington and Ottawa, millions of vacation-bound Americ- ans plan to penetrate Canada's Jasper-thin border in record numbers :this summer and fall. This flow of «visitors, much more meaningful Zthan any flow of political phrases, “emphasizes the close relationship between North America's giants. lt Ialso points up Canada‘s enviable gposition as the number one play- «ground for tourists from the 50 fstates. 'A recent article by Martin DeutSCh in “Arg0sy”, an American magazine, recommends “Canada: Big Playground to the North” to residents of all 50 states for an ideal holiday. The article’s sub-heading reads “You-can sample the best of Europe and North America this summer by pointing your family buggy north and joining the giant adventure that is Canada.” Later on the writer refers to Canada, “the wonderful world at your doorstep.” after giving brief resumes of holi- din opportunities in each province. The new fund is a key part of the government's programme to reduce unemployment in a hurry by allowing municipalities to launch projects they would ordinarily delay through lack of borrowing capital. The government hopes that availâ€" ability of funds at attractive inter- est rates will spur municipal pro- jects and provide thousands of new jobs. «(wuâ€" -______, “Our purpose is to provide an additional source of finance so that municipalities can undertake more capital works on terms they can afford,” the prime minister told a recent meeting of the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipal- ities in Toronto. Mr. Pearson pledged that the federal government’s assistance to municipal authorities would not take away a. shred of local autonomy, and said the government has no inten- tion of competing with or replacing existing sources of finance.

Its huge land mass lies east to west between the world’s most important oceans, extending from a common border of thousands of miles with the United States on the south to frigid, barren arctic waste- lands to the north. This giant land embraces wondrous lakes and maj- estic mountains, rugged rivers and placid streams, cosmopolitan, color- ful cities and quaint. quiet villages. There are several distinct, distinct- ive cultures and a hospitable, hardy people, and last but ‘lnot least an excellent network of roadways dist- inguished by the recently-completed toll-free Trans-Canada Highway â€" 5,000 miles of pleasure driving from St. John's, Newfoundland, to Vic- toria, in British Columbia. "For summer famin travellers, Canada represents an unlimited holiday potential. We’ve rarely heard a complaint about accommodations or food in Canada." Such a municipal loan fund will assist the municipalities in securing badly needed funds to aid education, health and welfare and urban ser- vices. The municipalities need a ready source of funds at reasonable interest rates to help them in build- ing schools, roads, hospitals, streets, sewage systems and even subways. “Canada has launched a new program for 1963 designed to embroider the welcome mat for American guests. It’s called ‘Project Hospitality’ and is spearheaded by the Canadian Tourist Association. The project will improve arrange- ments and services for the reception of visitors in all parts of Canada, while developing a better apprecia- tion by Canadian business and the Canadian public of the importance of the tourist industry." Eligible projects will cover “the main facilities and services of municipalities,” the finance minister said, adding that the government has no intention of interfering with provincial jurisdiction or with assist- ance programmes already providing funds for certain projects. Finance Minister Walter Gordon has said that 425,000 Canadians are jobless while “countless essential municipal works are crying out to be undertaken. These are works which could offer employment to thousands of citizens while benefiting hun- dreds of thousands with permanent community facilities,” he added. Sounds interesting doesn’t it? Why not take a tip from “Argosy” and see some of our Canadian holi- day features this year. for a write-off of 25 per cent of the loan - in effect a grant of one quarter of the cost. In cash terms the write- offs will amount to a $100 million bonus. The write-off provision will serve both as an incentive to get the work done and reduce financing costs to the municipalities.

The image of the golden waving wheat leaped into the poet’s verse. It became beauty. To the naturalist the life story of the butterfly changed to the life story of a grain of wheat. And to the prospector his vision of gold became the price of a bushel of wheat. To the farmer it was all these and more besides for he was in love with the life of the land itself. No wonder they were friends. They had so much in common. Mrs. Powell affirms, “While we do teach that we must care for the body, the body itself has been overlooked. The greatest machine the world will ever know is this great body of ours. If children from the first grade were instructed (with the aid of pic- tures) in the machinery of this “wonderfully, yet fearfull-y made” body, they would gradually acquire knowledge, appreciation, understanding and finally reverence for their body. No one deliberately or carelessly destroys that which he or she reveres. To that end, then, when the temptation comes to indulge in that which destroys, the knowing child will give pause and consider if he or she wishes to destroy this precious god-like structure. This idea is so simple and yet profound in that it is a positive and preventative way of dealing with incurable evils.” Finally the farmer, becoming restless in the company so absorbed in their own private revela- tions exclaimed, “Wish it would rain !” He bent over and picked up a handful earth. It ran dry and brittle through his fingers. “If it would just rain, the wheat will begin to grow,” he declared. “The most beautiful sight in the world is a field of golden waving wheat.” Gayle Powell lives at 69 Carrville Road. At 76 years of age, she is a bundle of dynamic energy and sets, all a fine example for constructive living attributing her happiness and zest for life to the fact that she lives to serve others. Gayle Powell is widowed (her husband was a school teacher for 31 years) and has her two daughters and son close by. She lives in a small apartment in the honie of her daughter, Anne, and her husband, William Robert- son. Maizie, her other daughter is married to Jimmie Mrs'. Powell is a highly individualistic person who believes in doing something about things that seemed wrong to her. She once pressured a govern- ment for a wig-wag to save lives at a railway cros- sing, convinced a prominent person to remove a hill to save other lives at a bad intersection, saved a boy from going to jail for stealing a bicycle. She says, “I’ll interfere to save a life or right a wrong as long as I live.” The naturalist, meanwhile, was looking raptly at a butterfly which he imprisoned in. his hand. He spoke of its beauty, shape, and its marvellous life history. She is rather proud of her deep contralto voice and she fondly remembers when she was a soloist and taught singing. She is now a very active senior citizen with a very real idea to share with the world. She worries about the young people and is disturbed by reports of juvenile delinquency, alcoholism, dope, and excessive smoking among them. I,, There is a way to advancc social welfare and education, she decided, and after consulting a few friends, church ministers and a teacher and a medical doctor, she knew she was on the right track. After four years of work, many calls and a minimum of meetings. she found Rev. Peter Gordon White, head of the United Church publications was going to incorporate her idea through the program of the church in Sunday schools. Books and pamphlets should be illustrated and Mr. White assured her that this would be done. The poet, although attentive to the prospector's story, became sensitively alive to the beauty of the scene. The green fields, clear blue sky, the glow of the summer sun, and cattle grazing in the field spun images in his seething mind. He hurriedly pulled out a notebook from his pocket and began to jot lines of verse as they came new-minted as a pile of shiny coms. Fitzpatrick and lives in Beverley Acres. Martin and his wife Myrna live in Wil-lowdale. Mrs. Powell has always been interested in Writing‘ and singing. She Used to contribute many little pieces to the papers among which some appeared in Bride Broder’s column in the old Mail and Empire. It is a source of amusement to her to remember that Bride Broder’s name for her was “Portia.” And how has this indomitable little woman been getting along with her dynamic idea ? Slowly but surely, it is catching the imagination of others. She has received a great deal of favorable correspondence voicing approval. The editor of the Board of Educa- cation Quarterly has appointed a committee to look into her theory. Toc Alpha, a high school and university students’ association under Mr. 'I‘. Knott will also studvher p_reven_tion of damage to the body. Did you ever think it possible to be different and yet be able to find something in common in those differences ? “The next step,” said Mrs. Powell, “is to advance her ideas in other churches and in the schools. She thinks that parents will take Sunday school more seriously when they find their youngsters are going to get the facts of‘li_fe_rightAfrom the start. This question always makes me think of the story of four friends who went to look over a. piece of land.That they represented different walks of life and held different points of view didn’t prevent them from being friends. One man had a reputation as a fine poet, the second was a naturalist, a professor in a university, the third was a prospector who spent his life looking for the elusive golden ore and the owner of the land was a farmer. A pile of glittering stones caught the prospect- or’s attention. He picked up a piece of quartz and murmered, “Fool’s gold.” Then a story followed about a former prospecting expedition when he had come across real gold.
