MAT leth. lIM br £LM ECAEIUTUEW.8LUNNET BEAUTY AT NIAGAIRA A weekffd trio to Buffalo took us through the orehard district et Niagara and along tbe beautifully landseaped Ri- ver Road. A good number of blossoms were out, but we would think the peak waÉ some days off at that time. Dniving along the cider, quieter road la like a pleatant &tep back in time. The orchards are close at hand on either aide, and one c;n drive slowly eI¶Gugh to en- joy themn-an impossibility on the Queen fflzabeth Way. Tbu smnail size of the fruit treÎs of NiAgana always strikes US, &iS caspared with our own api.ocharda, and the smpil Sglg limbe of the peach tteeg witli ther spaoed, pink biopomauomhowaiways make uë think of a Chinlese painting. There las smething stylized *bout their appearance. Part of tht. ay be due to the method of p=ng we really don't know, being ignorant of the horticul- ture- of peach trees. Without minlmizing the beau- ty of Niagara orehards, we can't help thinking that nothing cen beat apple onchards in blossomn for lovelneu. To our mind, the sight is altogether more sPec- tacular because o! the size of the. trees and the closeness of the blossoms. Most o! the var- Jeties being grown now have white bloasoms, but what they mey lackin t colour, the orch- ard% a nSeup in rassed bloomn. Don't forget to drive through Durham and Northumberland and te your fill o! this love- liest sight of the year. We can't say just when this is likeiy to b. this year, but The. States- man wili keep you posted. We mnust say once egain how beautiful the gardens at Nia- gara Ial are, and the park- jnds along the river from Nie- I ara-on -the-Lake ta Oid Fort re, and how proud every C#nadian, partieuiariy evéry Ontarlan, ulieuld b. of th'eni. one mlght drive manY miles ini any country anid neyer see anything so lovely and well cared for. The bout In nature has been preserved. and en- hanced by skilful Pianting Of flowers, shruba and trees. W. feel a peruonal gratitude ta the Niagara Parka Commission and thé Ontario Government for these beautiful acres. WE CALL ON AN OLD LAKE MARINER In Buffalo we gave ourseives the pleasure of a cail on Cap- tain Albert Norton and bis wife. We have reed and heerd about Cept. Norton for y9ars. He is something o! a legend around Bowmanville, having started bis career on the laite boats in 1882 out of Bowmen- ville, and only retired in 1939. He was called back into ser- vice for some years during the war. Todey, at 92, he stands straight as a ramrod, and is ful1 of the letest newa of lake boats and shipping. The Seawayis going te itake a big difference te leke ship- ping, Capt. Norton says. It is expected that it will put the grin carriers out o! business. la sw. think is flot only an economic problem, but a sad development in the long bis- tory o! Great Lakes shipping. Those o! us flot acqueinted with shipping have heard littie about this side of the pictune, and mnuch about the supposed ad- vanteges o! the Seaway. Let us hope that haif o! the latter are true. Te get back tet Capt. Norton -he recalied when he used to ssii out of Bowrnanville han- bour on the "Vienna" and oth- ers, with benley for Oswego. With e favourabie wind, a shlp wouid meke Oswego harbour in nine hours, he sald. Capt. Norton left Bowmanville in 1892. H. hed a hankering for steam ships, and there were more out of, American ports then ber.. Capt. Norton was born here and he and Mrs. Norton and Cept. Roising, aiso a retired lakes captain. who lives wlth themn, are planning te corne te Bowmanvilie duning its Cen- tennial year, probably in June. Capt. Rolsing who will be do- ing the driving, is just a young 80. Som.thlng about the lil! on the lakes must b. awfully heai- thy. First Traffic Clinic In Région Opens in Full A Traffic Clinic will b. open- *cl in Bowinanville early in Bepterriber. Magistrate R. B. Eaxter, Port Hope, announced yesterday. It will be an ex- celUent educational course for prospective drivers and motor- Ists, h. naid. Air, Rail or steaushi; TI1CKEBTS8 TO EVERYWHERE Consuit JURY & LOVELL 15 King St. W. MA 3-5778 Dowmanvillie Because this is Bowmnanviile's Centennial Year, this town has been selected for the first Traf- fie Ciinic to be held in the t-egion, the Magistrat. explain- cd. Traffic Ciinics in Toronto and Hamilton have been suc- cessfui, and in the future it is expected that such clinics will be estabiished in Port Hope and other towns in the district. The course et the Bowman- ville Tnaffic Cici will consist o! two houn sessions on two different evenings. Magstrate Baxter will open the course. The instructors will be Police Chie! In the hall of the Norton home la a beautiful hand-carv- ed model of a French tull-rig- gd ocean going sailing ship. Thisa i the work o! Capt. Nor- ton. "It took me two winters,"ý he said as we admined this in- tricate piece of work. How la it that sailons, some of themn any- way, have the eye and gifted hand for this kind of work? We expect it was found more often in past genenations thuit fow. The skili and infinite patience required are too demending <Or tbis hurryilg generation. His boyhood memnonies o! Bowmanville probably igo beck as far on fartJher than anyône eise's, so Capt. Norton will cen- tainly be a dlstiftguished'Cen- tenniai visitor. NOTES AND COMWENT8 Wbiie un Buffalo we saw a movie called "Stage Stntick" with Henry Fonda, and "intro- ducing" Chnistopher Plummer, as it was announced in the list- ing o! the cast. This is our Chnistopher PlumTner, a Cana- dien o! Stratford Festival fanW. As ail who have seen hum there know, he is a fine actor. He and bienry Fonda have equally im- portant parts in this movie, and bath turn in goad performan- ces. But what a pity they couldn't have been given a story worthy of their talents. Susan Strasberg we found quite un- convincing for the mont part, and the story equally no. If Mn. Plummer wants it. we hope he gets another chance et a movie, next Urne wlth a good story. He desenves it. H. la agein a star o! our Stretiord Festival this year. As you may have seen, Boyd Neel and the Hart House Or- chestre which we heard here in March. will represent Canada on Canada Day et the Brussels World Exhibition this aummer. The orchestre will b. augment- ed by five players for the oc- casion. Guest artl3t wlth the orchestra will ho Glenn Gouid. Can't help saying we wish- this might have been Ray Dudley, but we are sure Canada wil b. pvoudi o! her contribution on t~s speciel day. And anen't you proud ta have heard thls orchestra play in Bowmauville? Bernard R. Kltney, and an Ontario Provincial Policeo! ficer. Special motion pictures wil be shown. There wil also be slides displayed to illustrate points in instruction. The Bow- manville Traffic Clinic wil have special equipment as well. Magistrate Baxter called a special meeting In Port Hope on April 25 for ail Chie! Constables and senior Ontario Provincial Policemen in the United Coun- ties. He introduced Staff In- spector Douglas Wilson, O.P.P., head of the Traffic Sefety De- partment of the Ontario At- torney-General's office.
