Hanner) James Russell Lowell wrote, "What is so rare as a day in June?" to which Helen Hunt Jackson answered: O suns and skies and clouds of June Count all your boasts together. You cannot rival for one hour October's bright blue weather! We went to the Canadian Soo and we had six blue glorious days of fall and Indian Sum­ mer. We were color hunting. We sought changing leaves. We found them. \ If we can forget poetry and legends, let us answer the question, why, in the fall, do leaves color so brilliantly? Well it's all chemistry, folks. Chlorophyll is the green sub­ stance that gives leaves their summer green. Unseen to us pigments of red, yellow and blue are in the leaves along with the chlorophyll. It covers the other colors up because it is the work substance and it has to work in the warm summer INSTALL KIWANIS OFFICERS - Lt. Governor Bob Howe of Division 20, Wonder Lake, is shown on the far right presenting the Kiwanis gavel to incoming president. Bob Mortell. lite installation of officers took place at a recent Monday luncheon of the McHenry Kiwanis club. Shown with President Bob and Lt.

Absent when the picture was taken was second vice- president, Jerry Adair.

STAFF PHOTO/WAYNE GAYLORD days. In the fall the days shorten and are not so warm. The trees stop the growth of the green chlorophyll. The other pigments show in different hues Then the leaves dry and fall. This is how "Jack Frost" does it year after year-. North of the Soo in Canada lies a part of the Laurentian hills It is rocky, scraped bare by the glacier ten thousand years ago In this rocky, almost mountainous wilderness are hills and valleys, winding streams and clear blue lakes. The trees are pine and hard­ woods. Moose and many smaller animals live in the area. There are few and bad roads. The population is sparse. There is logging and some mining. There are sportsmen -- hunters and fishermen. Some of us hunt with camera - some The MATADOR • E3855W Exciting new 17" diagonal Solid State Chromacolor II compact portable.

It runs from the Soo to Hearst, Ontario. These two towns are 3% miles apart. It takes the train all day to make the trip. The first 125 miles are through the rocky region I have described. The last 181 miles are forest, thin farms and muskeg. Really then, the Algoma Central railroad is the only line of access to a wilderness that has an attraction for hunters, campers, outdoor people, miners, lumbermen, geologists and beauty seekers. It was to go into this region that we had come to Canada. Here in the fall is one of the most lavish displays of color on the whole of the North American continent. It is less well known than New England but none the less beautiful, enhanced as it is by mountain, lake, stream and in our case by "October's bright blue weather". We had perfect days on our whole trip. There was mist in the morning and then the rest of the day was blue- blue-blue enhanced by the mirror clear reflections of the lakes. The train leaves Sault Ste. Marie at 8 a.m. One car is to go to the end of the line at Hearst 296 miles away with the two baggage cars. Then there are two diners and in our case fifteen passenger cars carrying 850 people on a one-day trip to the falls and canyon of the Agawa river through the region I have described. At the canyon all the train, except the few cars going on to Hearst, is left on a siding. People have two hours at the canyon before the train coming south from Hearst picks them up to take them back to the Soo. There were not enough cars on the train on our day so the railroad ran a second train with older equipment to take the 750 people who wanted to go but could not get on the first train. Sixteen hundred people were carried by the trains just for people to see what Jack Frost had accomplished in his chemical treatment of the leaves. We have made this trip twice before. In fact, we like Canada so much that this is the four­ teenth time we have been to visit our neighbor of the North. One of the new tourists un­ derstated the case when he said: "Say! This is big business." Oh yes! I should have told you this train was pulled by three engines going north and by four when we came back because to this train had been added two private cars.

COOPERATIVE MONTH The annual business volume of nearly 400 supply and marketing cooperatives in Illinois is more than $1.4 billion, Gov. Dan Walker pointed out in signing a proclamation declaring October as Cooperative month in the state. In his proclamation Walker noted that the theme for this y e a r ' s o b s e r v a n c e , "Cooperatives - People With Purpose", aptly characterizes the people who organize and operate cooperatives. "They are one of the most effective and important institutions in the rural economy of our state," Walker said. Food, rest, mental peace and exercise are the four golden keys to old age.
