1nb georgetown herald wedaeada sept 13th 1950 the corner home again perhaps the most one gets from a vacation is ah appreciation of home and so it is that we are glad to be back in familiar territory after an enjoyable week of travelling inf eastern canada and- the states the rail way strike put a sudden crimp in plans to attend the newspaper convention in new brunswick so we set tled for a motor trip to montreal a first visit to can adas largest city and a return through northern new york state it was an ambling trip with no se destin ation each night which isthe kind of trip we errjciy that perfect vreet 0 wpauierthat has been threaten- ing air summer finally arrived and made travelling a real plfcasure we saw cities small townstahdmpun- tains glimpsed the thousand islands thie mpntreal cathedrals the ice palace at ilake placid the beautiful finger laks arid fended up with a shortview of onuuv ios own special attraction niagara falls and 50 back to work again v high spots of mohtrkeal a first visit to montreal is bound to be- interesting it is the dividing line between the englishcanadian and french canadian worlds a melting pot of two traditions and two religions where les canadiensv as the french term themselves and les anglais which they term we ontarians live and work together yet jealously guard their own heritage to one familiar with toronto the downtown shop ping district is a disappointment to the tourist the stores are mainly replicas of the toronto branches eatons simpsons etc even morgans is soon to open a branch in toronto the business buildings are large though there are not so many skyscrapers the hotels are the standard ones to be found in any large city although the ritzcarlton has a more impressive front than most nightclubs once a novelty are no longer such since ontario relaxed the ban on cocktail bars there is only one legitimate theatre which features the same attrac tions as the royal alexandra the famed gayety has fajlen by the wayside as a burlesque house and reverted to straight vaudeville without even the attraction of the casinos name stars tourist interest then must centre on the cathedrals arid on fabulous westmount with its mountain lookout commanding a wonderful view of the city not forget ting the wax museum with its impressive scenes of the early christians the pope early americans and indians and a modern touch wax figures of the king gen eral eisenhower and field marshal montgomery notredame cathedral we shall not attempt to describe anyone who has been in montreal has seen it anyone who goes here will see it fifteen minutes allows one only to scratch thesjirface of its beauty to appreciate its magnitude even more is this the case with the basilica started by father andre and only partly completed both are included in the standard tour arid are in themselves worth f visit to montreal a discordant note as in any tourist city the nefarious habit of tip ping is so deep rooted that it is impossible to get away from it and in spite of strong words on the subject in a recent editorial we found ourselves without the courage of our conviction shelling out the dimes and quarters with monotonous regularity i he height of it was when after a fifty cent trip through the wax mus eum the guide announced that he was paid no salary and depended on the generosity of his party for his liv- elihood then stood with extended arm and open palm at the narrow doorway leading to the street what would you do it wasnt quite so bad when the guide at the basilica did likewise for here of course there is no admission charge and one is free to tour the build ing unguided there was one discordant note in notre dame cathedral when the guide in the midst of a des cription of the wedding chapel where as many as a dozen weddings take place on a saturday morning pro duced booklets describing the cathedral and sold them for a quarter a church to our mind is hot the proper place for this nor for a souvenir booth where pne can buy post cards booklets and religious medals the adirondacks are something nothing js so appealing as a trip through the moun tains and the adirondacks are exciting it seems no time at all after crossng the border at champlain that one is in the midst of them winding up and down and around these giants of nature past mountain streams and lakes we had heard rather vaguely of lake placid as a place where skaters trained and imagined it as a small mountain town with a few cabins and a hotel or two it was a complete surprise to enter a town as largp as georgetown with a shopping district that would put park avenue to shame never have we seen so many beautiful stores filled with such a variety of itixury goods even the grocery stores didnt have just ordin ary groceries they featured delicacies which we only read about on the far side of the lake fronmhe town proper i- a private club which truly is la millionaires playground a membership of a thousand and a staff of five hundre lives i cabins summer home and apartments the club has its own shops and theatre grows its own produce on surrounding farms harpri- vate bathing beach and ski trail founded originally a a sporting club smoking and drinking are officially taboo and- aii 11 30 ljghuout is supposed to be in force though how well it is enforced is open to doubt the summer skating season had just ended with a carnival in which torontos suzanne morrow was starred at the huge arena youngsters from all over canada and the states come each summer for training in the fall a professional hockey team takes preseason training then there is a lull until skiing takes over for the winter r an unusual town the last nighi on the homeward trip was- spent at cazenovia at the northern tip- of one of the finger lakes itis a town which one scarcely notices biasing on the highway buv which 4s well worth a stop on both sides of thehigrrway there are dozens of beautiful homes mostly white frame many with colonial pillars all with lovely grounds suchsigns of gracious living must betoken good industry we thought but there was no sign of a factory filling the car- with gas next morning we asked he garagernan what all these people lived ot and the answer came they are rehired people frorb new york chicago montreal and wealthy people from all over the states whouse cazenovia as a sum mer residence there i no industry the town nat- ivesrnake their living working in stores and restaurants or are employed in the homes of the wealthy tjie town incidentally is bfpennsylyania dutch origin it was founded in the rate eighteenth century by a dutch emigree whose name is still perpetuated in the town hotel itie natives speak with a stronger dutch accent than the people in the kitchener district one good bet the hotel missed in capitalizing on town history was to feature german dishes which would make a hit with -tourists- dr j btnun uun xhay dental sqboadh daorgstown fheas m
