Also Susan Hoag showed us how to make beautiful crepe paper roses. A very lovely bud vase, made by Gail Kozyriackyj with a rose in, made by Susan Hoag was presented to the two leaders Lois Daw and Rose Heron. There were quite a number of young girls there and one boy Jeff Gardner, who had done some very nice mac- rame work. We expect this class will be carried on again in the fall if there is enough -interest. ' Mr. and Mrs. Henry Toronto' It's a pleasure to do business when you stay at the Lord Simcoe.

A $376 million capital development program for Parks Canada will inject some $75 million into the Ontario region over the next five years, according to M.P. Norm Cafik. In the previous five years, the total capital investment for Ontario amounted to $22.7 million. Ontario Region is the most heavily populated of all five regionsin the National Parks system. The demands on our facilities have increased dramatically in the past 20 years. There are over 70 million people within a day's drive of most of our National Parks and Historic Sites. The federal government said that emphasis will be placed on the improvement of present National Historic Parks and the development of addition- PORT PERRY S1AK -- WEUIIG Ua y, ives y avs +o - Ontario parks get *75 million al ones. Additionally, the main thrust of the pro- gramme will be to conserve and manage. parks natural resources. © While this pro- gramme is going to mean major improvements in visitor centres, animated programs in historic parks, picnic and camp sites, canoe routes, recreation trails, scenic parkways and general services, some of the costs are going to have tobe shared by visitors. However of the six Nation- al Historic Parks in Ontario, only one, Fort George at Niagara-on-the-Lake, will be affected by the fee increases. Park Canada employs 500 full-time and 350 seasonal people in the Ontario Region. It operates 3 National Parks, Georgian Bay- Islands, St. Lawrence Islands and Point Pelee and currently has another, Pakaskua, under development. There are six National Historic Parks in Ontario, . "Parkland is a valuable and important asset to our country in these days of large urban sprawl and I believe that this type of direction in preservation and conservat- ion is necessary," he said.

That's for the cheques you write, period. But an extra 90¢ makes it a whole different story. With a Commerce Key Account you can get a preferred rate on most consumer loans, (and that's a nice thing to remember). You can get this summer's travellers' cheques for no extra service charge. You'll have an identification card which allows you to cash a personal cheque, up to $100, at any of our 1600 Commerce branches in Canada. And that's not all. There is no service charge when you use 24-Hour Cash Dispensers, you'll get special cheques, money orders, domestic drafts, and a whole raft of other services. All for a flat $2.50 a month. Or, in your case, maybe 90¢ more than you are paying now for cheques alone. But hold on. We don't think everybody should get a Commerce Key Account. If you're not writing ten or more cheques you could be wasting your money. And that's exactly what a Commerce Key Account doesn't want you to do. ITS YOUR IMIONEY.
