Penprase) The unexceHed beauty of Strat- -ford's lake and riverside driveways, and her artistic park systems, com- bined with the beautiful surroundings of the city's homes, tends' to place Stratiord far to the foreiront as be- ing the greatest show piace on the Continent. Peerless and unchalleng- ed, the Classic City stands pre-emin- ently a veritable thing of life--teem- ing with panoramic grandeur. ~ Fortunately, the endeavors and un- dying loyalty of such great nien as the late George McLagan, and others, to their "home town" did not allow the hum of indu8trial activities to in- terfere with the artistic progress so necessary to a city. Today, years after, their visions and dreams have turned into magnificent realities-- living monuments that will make their names immortalized. $1.00 A YBAR ficult to seé just where the provin- | cial body heads in at with its con- stant interference. So far as the ar- gument about radio goes the same thing might be applied to anything else the store selis. . The dealers who are protesting about the shop selling radio, all except one merely carry radio as a side-line. That is precisely what radio is in the Hydro Shop, a side line and the commission is not at all likely to discontinue handling it. Probably some other place may be used as a salesroom but unless the attitude of the com- mission changes the sale of radio is likely to continue.

We are hint- ing of course at the sad lack of tour- ists on the city's streets. Unfortunately Stratford's geogra- phical location places her far removed from the roaring arteries of the pro- vincial highways. That alone is a tremendous problem. Still. Stratford has the "stuff'--a produet of beauty, as it were, and with this asset the so- lution of alluring tourists to pay Stratford a visit should' not be at all - difficult. © And tourists, coming into a city, not only leave hundreds of. dollars behind, but also go out into the world speaking volumes of+good publicity for a city as pretty as Stratford. Undoubtedly then, the lack of tour- ists here can only be blamed upon a similar lack of effort to have Strat- frod advertised nation-wide in its scope. Such advertising would be re- paid ten-fold, te To show the immensity of the tour- ist traffic, 7,000 American cars pass- ed through the City of Chatham on Decoration Day, making it necessary to utilize the city firemen as tempor- 'ary traffic officers..
