We thought our read-t ers might à% interested in theM places visW-d and some of the peop we met so we will give at br* 9 esume of the trip along a few comments.s P 3 e American party was com-d po ed of three editors from each of the following states, New Jer-e sey, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Il-i linois, Ohio, New York and Mich- igan. The group assembled at Niag-t ara 'Falls and then pushed north1 to Owen Sound by easy stages in a luxurious chartered bus which literally "ate up" the 200-oddr miles of highway intervening. c Ontario Hosts5 Welcoming the party at the Falls were representatives of thet official "host" organizations, head-1 ed by Colonel the Hon.

Wand Markle, first vice president of the Ontario Hotel Association; and Ralph J. Haffey, managing director. Chartered Coach While Niagara Falls thundered a short distance away the group assembled at the Fox Head Hotel. Howard Fox, owner and manager, did the honors as host, serving refreshments before the party boarded their 37-passenger Gray Lines bus driven by Ralph Wells, mmrj&lN TOROTOc for the trip to Hamilton. This portion of the trip was covered in considerably less than an hour over the magnificent new Queen Elizabeth Way, a modern two-lane super-highway of which we Ontarians are quite proud. Enroute the group passed through well kept vineyards and orchards of the Niagara Penin- sula, one of Canada's most ver- dant agricultural districts. Arriving at Hamilton we were entertained at luncheon by Ham- ilton Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Harold Jex, manager of the Royal Connaught Hotel. Hamil- ton this month celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding. Our table companion at the lun- cheon was Lt. Col. H. D. Fear- man, D.S.O., V.D., Commissioner of Industries for Hamilton, who sent his regards to Harry Allin, whom he used to call on as a traveller in years past. Another person we met at this function was John W. Bowman of the Illinois Watch Case Co., who told me Bowmanville was named after his great grandfather. Rural Welcome Leaving Hamilton the bus roll- ed northward to Elora where the group was met by Dr. Hugh Templin, editor Fergus News- Record and President of C.W.N.A., and by Mrs. Martson, publisher of the Elora Express. A brief visit of inspection was made to the picturesque natural park which surrounds the falls and ravine. Thousands of visitors -come to Elora annually to view this cur- ious geological formation. Later the group visited Fergus, where Dr. and Mrs. Templin were hosts at a tea served at their res- idence, where a number of lead- ing citizens of the district were- introduced to the newspapermen., Late in the afternoon, the bus headed northwand for Owen Sound. Gently rolling farm coun- try soon gave way to the more rugged and hilly terrain at the Georgian Bay port. One of the most beautiful sights of the trip was seen as the bus approached the top of a high hill overlooking Owen Sound, nestled below at the foot of the bay. Civic officials, members of the Board of Trade and a group of local newspapermen greeted the vipitors at Owen Sound's Seldon House, where a delicious dinner featuring - Georgian Bay's famed lake trout was served. Members of the welcoming committee, in- cluded Mr. Ewart J. Creeper, a Durham County boy, chairman, Mayor Knox of Owen Sound, and Dr. MacKinnon Phillips, M.P.P. for Grey County.

I Boat Trip l After a smooth 110-mile pas- sage across Georgian Bay under a full moon, our party arrived at Killarney, a picturesque fishing village on the mainland. Across the channel lay Manitoulin Is- land, largest fresh-water island in the world and a mecca for anglers and hunters. It was Sunday mor- ning, and several members of the group attended the service at the village R.C. church.

Following the unveiling cere- mony, , the party proceeded via barge and boat to Moredolphton Fishing Lodge, where H. Heine- man, president of Northern Out- fitters' Association, was host. Af- ter refreshments, the party at- tended a shore dinner a short dis- tance from the famed LaCloche Mountains. Pickerel, cooked in a batter of cornmeal and flour, roast beef and baked beans, topped by home-made pie and hot coffee formed the menu, cooked by local Indians. Mining District Afterward, the party returned to their bus and headed eastward through rocky lake country to the big mining centre of Sudbury, 70 miles away. Arriving at Sud- bury late in the evening we were welcomed at a reception and lunch tendered by the Sudbury and District Hotel Association. Dalton Caswell, president of On- tario Hotel Association, official- ly welcomed the group on behalf of the hotelmen. After a breakfast, tendered by the Sudbury Chamber of Com- merce in the Nickel Range Hotel, the party were guests of the Inter- national Nickel Company, who took us to the great Frood pit, on the outskirts of Sudbury. Here we saw surface operations at one of the world's richest nickel and copper deposits. Deep in the pit, ore was being loaded in large Deisel-operated trucks, which re- moved it to ground level, where it was dumped into a crushing mill. Millions of tons of ore have been taken from this famous pit,.crush- ed, refined in the company's smelters and manufactured into many thousands of different types of products. Small amounts of platinum, gold and other classes of precious and semi-precious metals are also taken from the ore. R. L. Beattie, vice-president of the company, escorted us on the inspection of the Frood pit. Northern Welcome Leaving Sudbury, we headed south for North Bay, a thriving city on Lake Nipissing. Here we were guests of the Ontario North- land Railway Commission at a luncheon. We were welcomed by Col. C. E. Reynolds, chairman of the commission, who outlined the growth and development of that section of the province, and Wof its potentialities as a mining, lum- bering, agricultural and tourist playground area. After the lun- cheon, each visitar was pnesented with a copy of "The Northland Ontario," by O. T. G. William- son, public relations officer for the railway. Ald. Jack Grainger, who is also manager of the North Bay Nugget, extended civic greet- ings. North Bay Rotary Club was holding its luncheon that day so 12 of our party being Rotarians made up their attendance and were given a cordial welcome. Here we met Police Magistrate Maitland Gould, formerly of Bowmanville, and Dr. D. F. Nott, native of Oshawa. The party was soon on its way to Sundridge, where a brief, in- formal visit was paid to Hotel Ber- nard, on the shores of Lake Ber- nard. Park Country The next stop was at Huntsville, a picturesque town located in the heart of beautiful Muskoka. Dot- ted with lakes and covered with a thick growth of hardwoods and pine, Muskoka was long the fav- orite hunting ground of the Al- gonquin Indians. In Indian, the name Muskoka means "Land of the Blue Skies." It is one of On- tario's most popular tourist play- grounds. At the Bayview Hotel we were welcomed by members of the municipal council and Board of Trade. Following a dinner ten- dered by these organizations Hon. Arthur Welsh, spoke of the great natural resources of the North American continent, the skill, ambition and ability of its peoples, and expressed the hope that this continent would show leadership in bringing about a lasting world peace. Later the press party proceed*- ed by bus to Algonquin Park, a 2,700-square-mile area which has been reserved by the Province of Ontario as a natural playground. Several deer were seen along the route. 'We spentthe night and next day at the Algonquin Hotel, a resort overlooking Joe Lake. Memory took us back just 40 years ago when Dr. J. C. Devitt and the writer made their first visit to this great playground and fishing par- adise. Air Tour A bright blue sky, sunshine and a cool north breeze greeted us when we awoke. To sharpen ap- petites, several members of the party went on a four-mile hike through the bush to Taylor Stat- ten's Camp Ahmic, ' boys' camp situated at a nearby lake. The day was designed for nest and re- day was designed for rest and re- laxation, and it was a welcome break in the routine of the tour. At 10 a.m. the drone o! an air- cna!t was heard ovenhead, and soon Pilot George Phillips, super- intendent of Algonquin Park, was landing a pontooned Provincial Air Service Stinson monoplane an Joe Lake. During the morning, gn.ups a! newspapermen were takenonshort flights aroundpthe southenn sectian o! the park. Visibility was excellent, and countless lakes,' surrounded by a seemingly endless carpet of for- est, were viewed at altitudes rang- ing from 4,000 to 5,000 feet. This was a field day fonthose who brought movie and still cameras. Fishing After lunch, parties of anglers and photographers were flown up to the Burnt Root and Opeon- go areas, one of the finest fishing locations in the park. While they were away, Jim Knepper, of!the Carnegie, Pa., Signal-Item, toak his fly rodao a stream a short distance from the hotel and caught half a dozen speckled trout. Tired but happy, the parties which had been flown north re- turned early in the evening. Vir- gil Sanders of Kentucky was the lucky member of this group. His string of speckled trout included a 16-incher. Oneaf Canada's best-known bush pilots, Supt. George Phillips has mare than 10,000 flying hours ta his credit. An airman whc leanned to fly "By the seat of his pants" before the First Great Wan, he served in that war. Ir the war lately concluded he was first an instructor and later a ferry pilot.

This park has been, set aside by the Ontario go- vernment as a game preserve for wild life and hunting is not per- mitted. As a result, black bear, deer, wolves, beaver and other an- imals native to Northern Ontario may sometimes be viewed in their home environment. There are no known cases where human be- ings have been attacked, although the bears, clever marauders when they are hungry, occasionally raid food stores. in cabins and caches.
