page two the acton free press tiiujisday june 14th 1951 fathers day sunday is fathers daya subject a little more difficult of approach than mothers day since mothers do nbt write editorials the light hearted approach has become bolfi traditional anct char acteristic of the difference betvyeen the way we celebrate fathers day and the much move full- haariedwarmlh we associ with mothers day behind the surface levity of fathers who write about thoso in the same category there is an ad mission by sons and daughters that once a year there is a need for tribute to fathers and most families and mothers where home relations are right delight in recognition of the head of the home well sunday is father s day it s not neces sary to make him king for a day to win his grati tude but you may be sure he will appreciate any recognition your heart may prompt and it need not be an expensive gift it is your thoughtful ness and recognition that warms his heart three days of convention just back from a three day gathering of newspaper folks held in montreal and of course convention travel and thoughtsare upper most seemed hard to realize that it was seven teen years since the ontario and quebec publish ers had gathered in montroal but time does fly of course we have been in montreal between conventions but there are many changes this was brought home by the missing faces and the larger attendance of younger folks who have come into the weekly newspaper fieldmany of them sons of publishers of earlier years travel between hen and montreal is quite rapid and convenient it s possible to go to bed in toronto and have breakfast in the eastern metropolis by train travel comfort on the rail ways is constantly improving with new types of sleeping cars which we have told readers about previously we like the new roomettes that are a marvel of compactness and efficiency this ear the windsor hotel one of montreal s oldest was convention headquarters it was here the king and queen were entertained on their trip to montreal and a large picture of the banquet in their honor hangs in one of the halls newer hotels are the mount royal and the laurentian would bo very attractive when city lights are blazing here a delightful luncheon was served a musical program given and dancing enjoyed before the return to the hotel before nine oclock mayor houde li a fine host in spile of his bulk which we udge would put the scales at well over 300 he gets about and personally met and chatted witft everyone in the party he was thering masleroftlieoventjentoringmto the shop talk newspaper conventions devote a large part of their programs to problems that are common to printers- and publishers ideas are freely ex changed and discussion is vigorous and helpful much of the discussicwai anf jiepnveniin floor and more of it is in smaujrtjbpi a e ses sions not all of it relatesto printing either and even school district problems of various towns might be the subject that finds common ground or civic improvemepts and their success or fail ure ah towns in ontario and quebec have com mon problems which give broadening ledge by association and discussion enjoyment with enthusiasm that was contagious he spoke only briefly and requested there bo no formal thanks youve seen his photographic and know his attraction is not in his build or his beau ty he made no attempt to find a dancing part ner our tour of the city did not include the mont real harbor but when our friends mr and mrs chas symon asked us after dinner on saturday night what we would like to see wo withou hesitancy asked about the harbor knowing full well that charlie knew how to drive the route it was a delight to once again see this busy port few people fully realize iho size of montreal harbor we won t attempt to describe it but rather make some observations the lachine canal with the boats going through was most interesting its locks are not large boats seemed to have only inches to spare itsoperation is not modern but still it is interesting one cannot suppress amazement at the hundreds of english made cars which still are crowding all vacant spaces and the inforrmrtion that more are being landed each week there s no shortage of these motor cars anyway rather surprised also to see structural steel beams being pijed on the docks from a boat dis charging its cargo one cannot help pity the english folic who cannot get cars and overseas countries which require rebuilding but are sacn ficmg for our dollars montreal homes on the mountain are beauti ful and indicate the wealth of this city construe tion here must have been costly and maintenance ery heavy mr and mrs symon took us to many beauty spots our trip of thursday had omitted and to which a bus could not travel know then there are competitions for news pap improvement with the papier s judged accord ng to population of towns winner of the ed tonal page was the newmarket ura v ith the fergus news record third the trophy for the best paper m villages under 1500 pop6ation was won by our neighbouring contemporary the elora ex piess trophy for the best front page m towns of 4 500 population and undef was captured by the aurora banner w th 76 po nts the l stow el banner with 73 points was in second place r ch mond hill liberal was awarded 71 po nts and the acton free press 70 po nts papers were not entered in the com pet t on but all papers n on tano came under the scrutiny of the udges newspaper editors from new york stjte fra ternie with canadian eaitors at convent ons and in montreal there were several who attended brought greet ngs and exchanged txpir ences from south of the border a few tfars ago a c nt convention was held n buffalo n th an er can d tors distributing products montreal s shipping facilities have been much improved during the past year by the opening of a new marshalling yard by the c p r not many could have the opportunity afforded us since a special train left windsor street station on satur day to take us to this railway installation one of the cars in the tram wasflat car with benches for those whp desired to rtde outdoors the c p r marshalling yard is the latest on the continent you have all seen engines shunting cars into various sections at stations with the engines placing the cars and brakeman operating switch es it s a long job at the st luc yard one diesel brought in a tram of 70 cars while we were there the cars were examined weighed and per j in any one of many sections of track with only one man along the tracks uncoupling the sections the whole operation was done by elec tncally controlled switches we were told over 1 000 cars were put over the hump in one e ght hour shift and it was the plan to put 3 000 cars a day through the yards space will not al low detail but if you re interested you may see the descriptive book we brought home which ex plains the operation the yard covers 632 acres and has 75 miles of rail in a total of 1 1 1 tracks the switch signals are repeated in the locomotive cabs while the construction is nextdoor to the metropolis not a single dwelling was removed and t crosses no highways

explanat ons and pointing out important features another popular tourist attraction of montreal is the open air sight seeing street cars which offer a ten m le trip at 25c and which enjoy a good patronage our tour ended up at the chalet on the top of the mountain where mayor houde was host from here can be obtained the best view of montreal with its buildings its bridges and har bora the view was inspiring in the daylight and food we hive always been enthusiastic about the food served on our canadianrailways in our ex penenct the meals excel anything on the lines south of the border on jhe trip out to the st luc marshalling yard the cpr arranged to erve a buffet luncheon to the party we won oertd how it would be done but we soon found that the otficials had solved that problem in their modern coaches with collapsible tables th s luncheon excelled the excellence of anytn ng we have seen or partaken of hi any hotel or elsewhere we went to see the table the tull length of a special lining car with the array cf food wh ch had been prepared not often does a country ed tor gae on such a display of culinary art we hesitate to give a detailed des crpt on but mrs dills does more ustice m the rtc tal than we could do and we suggest the lad es who may be interested secure it from her n casual conversation serving of the food was as quiet and efficiently marvellous as the pre paration and arrangement the chef who had prepared it beamed over it all as only a master rf the art can and modestly accepted the many compliments heard on all sides as he hurried be tween kitchen
