ONTARIO TODAY . SATURDAY, MAY 28 y 4 Ontario provides the traveller with rich J variety in scenic beauty and recreation By DAVID TORRANCE UPERLATIVES come easily when one talks about travel in Ontario. This is the province that accounts for bettet than 60 per cent of Canada's trade, the in- dustrial province that ranks tourism as one of its major industries, the province that offers such a bewildering variety to the traveller that only superlatives can handle the description. One gets a glimpse of the splendid sweep of On- tario when one considers that it covers an area over four times the size of the United Kingdom, more than six times the size of the six New England States, almost the size of France, Germany and Italy combined. Its southern-most point is in the same latitude as northern California; its northern boundary is in the sub-Arctic; it embraces the greater part of the St. Lawrence Sea- way system, from the river itself on the east to the head of the Great Lakes in the West. Within this area lie 80,000 square miles of lakes and rivers--more than 500,000 lakes have been named, and there are others that still await recognition, virgin waters where the fish feed without fear of anglers. The traveller, then, can find anything he wants-- and it would take alnrost a lifetime of holiday travel to sample every attraction that the province has to offer. Where does one start ?
