ONTAPM 'THJRSAY, MAT lut 1958 bW ELSIR CAKEUTHEES LUNNEX TENTH ANNIVERSARY FOR EARLE GREY COMPANY Congratulations are in order for the Eale Grey Shakespear- ean Foundation which this summer celebrates its tenth annîversary. It is expected that the week of June 24th will be celebrated as "Shakespeare Week" in Toronto, followed by the opening of the tenth Shakes peare Festival by the Earle Grey Company at Tinity Col- lege, University of Taronto, on June 30. It is the longest estab- iished classical company in Can- ada, and made histomy by inau- gurating the fimst, and for a number of yeers, the only Shakespeamean Festival in Can- ada. We imagine the going was rather hard at fimst, and Earle Grey and bis wife, Mary God- win, deserve an immense amount of credit for what they have done for drama in On- tario. This Festival has a char- acter ail its own, played as it is outdooms, on an Elizabethan style stage, against the back- drap of Gothic styled build- ings. The Sunday night Eliza- bethan concerts, free ta play- goers, are also a distinctive 1eature. It has taken imagina- tion, hard womk, and good man- agement to each a highiy suc- cessfui tenth anniversary. This year the Company will present King Lear from June 30 ta July 12: As You Like It. Juiy 14 ta Juiy 26, and The Comedy of Errors from Juiy 28 ta Aug. 2. It is pmabably the Canadian premiere for the lat- ter play, Mr. Grey points out. The first Sunday night con- cert on Juiy 6th, offers an un- tisual program with "A Court MeJley" of songs and dances o! Queen Elizabeth's court. Lucille MeClure, of the Canadian N a-1 tional Ballet, and baritone Geoffre v Chick, will be featur- cd artists. There wili be two more concerts, on July 2th and July 27th.

"~This gowing awareness o! the grcatncss o! this country and the travelling it provokes, means billions of dollars of business ta tourism in Canada. It is, howcver. not confincd ta the tourist industmy. It affects ail phases of aur economnic life. Serlous Thought "It bas been said," Mm. Aus- tin cautioned. "that the trouble with the tourist industry is that evemybady talks about it but few do anything about it. Be that as it may or may not be. it is time that same seriaus thougbt and planning be given ta the impact o! the toumist dol- lar on the Canadian economy." "~The toumist industry is much lîke any other. The mare mon- ey that is put inta it the great- cm dividends it will pay," Mr. Austin said. "Unfotunately, the Canadian public does flot real- ize the value o! the toumist in- dustmy but the lack o! know- Free! ledgc can casiiy be corrected by a wider publicity o! facts.

Active Travelers "In 1957, almast 18 million cars crossed bctwecn the Unit- ed States and Canada. Total Canadian vehicies eturning ta) Canada numbemed 8,682,000. Foreign vehicles numbemed 9,- 300,000. In that yeam, Canadians anged farther a! icld than ever before. On a peýr capita basis, Canadians are mare active tra- vellers than the average U.S. citizens." Mm. Austin urged that a spe- ciai effort be exerted ta main- tain Canada's attractions in an extremely competitive market. "Once Canadians realize the intensity o! the competition and the immense eserve o! the tra- vel dollars that cxist," be said. "xve may reasanably look for- wamd ta an iffiprovement in the standards that will lead toaa reduction o! the travel deficit that exists bctween the twa countries.

It was most unfortunate that the week was rather cold and snawy, mixcd with rain when these boys were bampered from carying out fuliy the schedule o! womk wbich was planned by the Scoutmastem. However, des- pite the fact that the weatber was unfavoumable, many goals were recced. It would have taken nothing cisc but the spir- it whicb the boys from the lst tmoop exerciscd, eaizing the 8th Scout Law, "A Scout smiles and whisties under ail difficul- ties". Theme were 12 boys who at- tended the camp: P/L Lowell Higbfield (Wolfe Patrol), Da- vid Presson, Ted Watson, John Phiilips: P/L Richard McClean (Lion Patrai), Allan Plummer, Davis Coheen, Brian Pickering (2nd Troop); P/L John Twist (Eagle Patrol), Pat Vetzal, Duncan Syem, Bob Lyncb. The camp was mun on a point system and the foilowing points weme given ta each patrol for the week's activities: Eagie Pa- tral, 110 points: Lion Patrol. 103 points; Wolfe Patrol, 123 points. During the camp we were visited by a few visitors. Mr. O. J. Presson paid a visit and was entbused ta sec the gaod. spirit of scouting the boys werc exbibiting. Mr. M. Pickering, awner o! the fammn on which he Sa gaciously permitted us ta camp, visited us at anc of aur campfires together with bis daughtcr, son and bis fiend. The boys passed many tests. Some of the second ciass scouts have almost compieted their course and the fimst ciass have completed all but two o! their tests. Inasmuch that the boys have donc so well, they have earned badges for "Good Camp- ing" and same have earned Pro- ficiency badges. Congratuation ta these boys and best wishes toallah wo at- tended the camp. Looking« for- ward ta the time wben we can say 'Let's go camping boys!"
