published by thornton newspapers limited 22aaain st spiith georgetown ontario w c mehn publisher page 4 thursday november 1 3hs 1 96 editorial comment ice tofbe missed r a couple of holiday weeks and were back in the editorial chair we en- joyed a breather from the weekly chore and nice to know that we were missed w several readers remarked at our ab sence this time we decided to have a look by train and bus at a part of the states new fo us the midwest and west coast we saw miles of cornfields in idaho miles of wasteland in utah arizona- and the created oasis in california where fruits and vegetables grow in abundance a glimpse of the grand canyon and the huge hoover dam werehighlights san francisco and os angetes are tourist cities nice to visit but not for us to live in and we paused at lascfvegas to join the contributors to what must be the lar gest collection of gambling machines wer devised by man jf train travel in either canada or the states is the best way to get a panorama

forged rest and one comes back much more refreshed than from any other type of vacation best of all one comes home with an appreciation of our own beautiful part of ontario for truly we in this part of the province live in the garden of eden the changing seasons varied landscapes pros perous farms and industries ajft something one finds in few other places in the world san francisco a warning v those who would let marijuana and other drugs become part of our society should visit the west coast befort they make their final judgment our stay in this beautiful city was marred by the hordes of unkempt glassy- eyed halloween garbed youngsters roam ing the city like packs of gypsies to them opting out of the establish ment as they are wont to call people who still believe that you must work
