T H U R S A Y , U G U S I s t 1 9 4 THURSDAY, AUGUST lst, 1946 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO PAGE THI~EE Trip Through Rockies ToId by Dr. N. Allun Native Durham County In a recent letter to his brother and sister, Mr. Albert and Miss Annie Allun, Centre St., Bowman- ville, Dr. Norman Allin, Edmon- ton, Alta., describes a motor tour he took with hîs family through the famed Rocky Mountains and 'valleys of British Columbia dur- ing the past three weeks. Hîs ' tory is worthy oxiinclusion in a b00 for tourists rather than the brie xtracts we are pleased to pre*t to Statesman readers. Dr. lflin, a san of the late Mr. and Mr.Samuel Allin of Darlington towship has practised for years in Edmonton and with his brother the late Dr. Edgar Allun, conduct- ed one of the. tinest medical cli- ics in western Canada. He wrîtes in part: "Spent a week at the famous Banff Springs Hotel attending a convention, then on to beautiful Lake Louise. We passed Castle Moutain, now namn- ed Mt. Eisenhower, at a point where the Banff -Windermere Highway turns south. Then on to Field and Golden. To by-pass the mîghty Selkirks the road turns north along the Big Bend of the swîft fiowing Columbia Riv- er. It is a 90-mile journey where the short cut if possible is but a few miles. k is a magnificent road, in many places high up, where the car driver must be careful. The Columbia River, rising in the Canadian Arrow Lakes, turns north to formi the Big Bend be- fore sweeping south in a swift, deep clear torrent to empty into the Pacific at Portland, Oregon. Reveistoke was the next stop and going on to Salmon Army, many farmers were found putting up alfalfa. Curing was borrowed from Norwegian farmers. Up- right stakes with crosspieces were used to drape the hay like clothes on a line so ramn would shed eas- ily and sun and air effect a rapid cure. At Shuswap Lake Dr. Allun found Dr. Burris, a classmate at Toronto University. A real visit at his summer home. Went south into the valley of the Okanagan. Surprised to see so much fine grain growing around Armstrong and Vernon, fine fields of wheat also great herds of Jer- seys. At Kelowna, hotels ail fill- ed, we found a tourist lodge four miles out owned by a Saskatche- wan farmer who bought it two years ago and can more than dou- ble his money if he wishes to seli, bugs and ail. Crossedthe lake on the ferry and on to Penticton, with lush, ir- rigated orchards of cherries and apples ail along the route. On south through the Oliver district we entered the U.S.A., state of Washin.gton, and soon came ta the great Grand Coulee dam which backs up the Columbia water to ;Jirma falîs twice as high as Niag- SIt provides immense elec- Stric power for this inland em- pire and will irrigate more than a million acres for farming and fruit growing. Motoring down state we came into Spokane over the noted Ap- pie Way. A fine modemn city noted for its famous Davenport Hotel.- Splendid orchards abound and Walla Walla apples are xide- ly known. Turning for home we went east and north coming up through Idaho through the Couer d'Alene lake district and its vast lumbering. We crossed into Can- ada at the little town which is a combination of Eastport, Idaho, and Kingsway, Canada. Came ta Cranbrook through the limber lands that provide lum- bering for Moyie and Yahk. At a tourist lodge we asked: "Are there any bugs here?" The Nor- wegian proprietor replied, "No, sorry." Thence we-went by way of the Banff-Windermere high- way, up throuigh the Inxerme-re finest scenery. At home we had as guest for dinner Will Berry who owns a bookstore in Bowmanville. Ed- monton Exhibition was just open- ing and we wvent over ta see the Shorthorn cattle, the kind we took sa much pride in as young fellows on the farm at home. On- tario breeders at Edmonton were Gardhouse, Deacon and Will Dry- den, whose animais usually sweep the boards at western fairs. Dr. Allun concludes his lively account by asking ta be remem- 'ered ta his many friends around Bowmanville whom he will glad- ly entertain if they visit Edmon- C. H.

Salvation Army AppeaU Objective_$2,00,00O Objective o! The Salvation Army's 194«-7 National Home Front Appeal next month will be $2,000,000, according to announce- ment by Air Marshal William A. Bishop, V.C., D.S.O., M.C., D.F.C., LL.D., chairman of The Salva- tion Armiy National Advisory Board. "Increasing demands for Sal- vation Army social service and relief work have made it neces- sary to raise the objective over the $1,500,000 aslced last year," said Air Marshal Bishop. "In the total sought is money needed for the rehabilitation and expansion o! Salvation Army so- cial service facilities. During the war, The Salvation Army concen- trated on serving the members of the armed forces, and assisting war victims. The expansion o! its work in Canada was largely postponed. Even repairs were put off. Nearly one-third of The Salvation Army's total personnel was engaged wholly or principal- ly on duties having to do with the war. "Salvation Army efforts for the reclamation of the fallen and for the care and guidance of those in trouble constitute a national ser- vice to Canada," said Air Marshal Bishop. "Its mission of succor to erring humanity is worthy of far greater financial support than is asked." The Campaign opens Sunday, September 15, with special ser- vices in Salvation Army Citadels across the Dominion. The Can- vass for funds begins Monday, September 16. It will be held in all centres except those where Community Chest or Welfare or- ganizations provide adequate funds or in the four or five cities where campaigns already have been held. Leaves Newcastle, Eng. To Open Business Un Brighuton, Canada To the desk of the editor of The Statesman has come a recent issue of the Evening Sentinel, a very important daily paper serv- ing the district of Newcastle, Eng- land. On the front page appears the picture of William Arthur Plant of that city, together with the story that he is leaving for Canada to enter business in On- tario. We learn that this enterprising English gentleman is a nephew of Rev. J. A. Plant, who for the past five years has been the United Church minister at Enniskillen Circuit and who plans to retire and live in the town'of Brighton. It is understood that th-e nephew been active in the British Legi>on. The story in the English paper tells that his uncle, Rev. J. A. Plant, lef t Porthill, England, 38 years ago and has served his church in Canada ever since. It is with more than local in- terest that these facts are told in The Statesmnan for it is an indi- cation of how many wide-awake, experienced Englishmen view Canada as a land of opportunity following the war. Rev. J. A. Plant is greatly pleased that his nephew now cornes to Canada to make his home in Brighton and join the family cîrcle. Tile Flooring Laid by Expert Setters FREE.
