Its new wing is con- sidered a masterpiece of design as its duplication of the original ginger- bread facade is so meticulously copied that it is impossible to tell where the old wing stops and the new one begins. This hotel's glass Garden Room is a favorite for breakfast and lunch. CLOCK TOWER Niagara-on-the-Lake has the deserved reputation of being the prettiest town in North America. A visit there should be extended so none of the historic sites, the 19th century homes, the Market Square nor the Shaw Festival Theatres are missed. A WALKING START You can park just off King Street across from The Prince of Wales Hotel. This red and gold hotel was built in 1860 as Long‘s Hotel with 16 rooms. It now has ex- panded to 58 rooms with an elegant dining room, a bar and recreational facilities. The first thing that will strike you as you begin your stroll down Queen Street is the Clock Tower â€" right in the middle of the road! It is a War Memorial dedicated in 1922. The battery« operated clock inside is looked after with tender loving care by the town’s electrician. Jim Henry. Walking on the south side of the street you'll find a selection of shops to browse through before you come across a vine- covered grey stone building. THE COURT HOUSE Past the Court House just a left turn away on Regent Street is a bright yellow building, pur- portedly the oldest one in Ontario, having been built in 1779. Lunch, dinner and after-theatre fare is served in the same room with its handâ€"hewn beams that was visited by Coach Travellers and British Regulars from Fort George. Now the home of the tiny Court House Theatre. it was designed in 1847 by William Thomas, who also designed the St. Lawrence Hall in Toronto. THE ANGELINN By KATHRYN HORLEVR Thé Inn boasts a ghost â€" that of Captain Colin They’re faced with the fact that air fares will have to go up to meet escalating fuel costs (aircraft are reported to be flying out of Athens. Greece, with only enough fuel to get them to their first landing because of the cost), and they're faced with the fact that other fares have almost been slashed in half as a competitive manoeuvre. Told they had to collect more airport tax from passengers using Canadian airports after April 1. they‘re now having to arrange to return the money because the order paper didn‘t get through our now dissolved Parliament. You may not know it. but your travel agent probably deserves a medal. Anyone who can keep up with the ever- changing airfare structures is likely to have nails bitten down to the quick and bald pat- ches from tearing out his hair.
