At Windsor the executives ironi bath that city and Detroit were on hand ta weicome them and here the Duke and Princess ne- ceived model cars that moved. Elizabeth's and Philip's first glinipse ai the Canadian West was at Winnipeg and here they were entertained by one oi Canada's best ballets. Everywhere they went people thronged, ta show that the West loved her as much as the east. In Regina the Moun- tes put on their musical ride for the Prince and Princess enter- tainment.

Plans are already in high gear at the Canadian Pacific's coast ta coast string of hotels and summer resorts which offer the ultima te in fishing, §wimming and boating in fresh water or sait, golfing on some of the country's mast renowned fairways, and many other forms of recreation. This beautiful water-hole at Digby Pines in Nova Scotia (top left) is a challenge ta par-buster and novice alike. Following clockwise is a view of swimming at Banff Springs Hotel in Alberta, where water sports are enjoyed against a mountain backdrop. Always a zestful game, tennis isreally exhilarating in the crisp mountain air of the Canadian Rockies at Banff and Lake Louise. Although found right across Canada,' trout in the Rockies will prove a stern test for the angler, as well as a proud trophy, as the beauteous fishergal seems ta be telling the Mountie. saying that "Canada is a great and gioriaus country."

There was tension ini the air and ahl eyes were glued ta the screen. As the lights went out, there was a burst ai appiause and cheers and then silence.

At the Plains of Abraham, in stead ai riding on a milk-white steed, as did the rayal visitars ai aid, the Princess and the Duke were seen iding in a milk-white jeep. Royal Couple ini Ottawa The Rayai Couple were next seen, placing a wreath on the beautiful war memorial i Otta- wa in memory ai the dead soidiers. Here, the wonderiul, sad music ai the band resounded ini ahi cars. At Toron ta exhibition grounds came children dressed in red formed a red cross in the midst ai a graup af Red Crase members dressed in white. Neyer was there a more beauti- fuI scene in any movie, than when the Princess and the Duke were ceen gazing at the gargeous rainbow aver Niagara Falls. At Winnipeg the Princess was presented with a bouquet ai fiowers by a littlî girl in a ballet dress. Princess Elizabeth wore a gald lace dress with sparkling sequins and an ermine wrap, while she and the Duke ai Ed- inburgh attended a ballet for their entertainment. Indian War Dances At Calgary the Royal Couple lookcd on in excitement as they saw the thriling Calgary Stani- pede. At Calgary they aise saw Indian War Dances and an In- dian chief gave thema presents for their children. The Princess and the Duke were very much amused at a iittle Indian.girl, al dressed up in war paint and dressed in the most hideous clothes, I arn sure, that they had ever seen. In Regina aur Royal Highness- es witnessed the gloriaus Musical Ride.% At a littie church in Victoria the Duke read the ecripture ta the crowd.

The Ontario Division ai the Society has plcdg- ed itself ta maise $500,000 as its quota of this amount. The con- tributions will go towards sup- port ai cancer research through- out Canada; organîzation ai lay education with the prime message that the best hope for effective trcatment lies in early diagnosis and adequate treatment; and the subport ai a welfare pragram ta help cancer patients and their families where such help je not otherwise provided. As a recuit ai the Society's en- deavors, and with the aid and en- couragement ai the public, no less than $960,000 has been in- eested In cancer research and in training fellowships ta physicians anld physicists in the past four years. Many of these prajects are located in Ontario. It is worth nating that matters reiating ta research are channel- ed through the National Cancer Institute ai Canada, a profession- ai body which, in collaboration with the Medical Advisory Com- mittee ai the National Research Council,- screens and co-ordinates the variaus projecte thereby en- suring the best and most efficient use ai funds. In addition, the Sa- ciety through its own adxuisory committee ai physicians makes available a fund in excess ai $60.000 annually ta promising yaung graduates i medicine and physics ta enable them ta take advanced training i actuai can- cer diagnosis and treatment. In- creasing-..the number ai highiyl trained specialiste in Canada is ai immediate importance ta the 25,000 C 'anadians who develap cancer each year. The admirable work ai the Sa- ciety and the necessary service it renders in cambating cancer are warthy ai generous support froni the beneficiaries, the people ai this cammunity and ai Can- ada.

"Bud' Hooper Writes Letter From Germany Germany, April 20, 1952 Dear Mr. James: I arn finaily getting around to dropping The Statesman a iew lines. We have been pretty busy lately and I have flot had a chance ta write until now. We are getting beautiful wea- ther aver here and it is really warm, in fact for the last two weeks we have been going around in aur shirt sleeves, and getting a very good tan. We are out living under can- vas now and we have been here since the end of March and I guess we wili stay until about the end of June. We are doing a lot af new training and they man- age ta keep us pretty busy, but everyone seems ta like it 0K. but there is stili the aid draw-back and that is the meais, they don't seem to get any better, but there is nothing we can do about it. The Brigade has started a leave policy and each man gets 16 days' leave provided he has enough money saved up ta pay his train fare bath ways. There are a few boys that will not be able ta take a leave bi4t most af them are ahl set. A fewà of them have already had theirs and most of them went ta Eng- land and they really enjoyed themselves. At least we are get- ting a chance ta see a lot af new places which we couldn't hàve seen if we were stili on civy street. We were ail pleased at the suc- cess af the local Barons hockey team and we think they did very weil. It just goes ta show what homebrews can do when they are given the chance. By the reports in The Statesman they really had same record crowds. I only hope that by next year there wiil be artificial ice in the Memonial Arena. then Bowmanville wifl have just about everything. We have a regulan tent city out here i.n the field, and it is a hunter's paradise. You see. the civilians are flot allowed ta carry firearms aven here, therefone, the gaine is really plentiful, especxaliy the deer; they are running arouiid hene like rabbits back home.
