way between St. Hyacinths and Richmond is now in its hundredth year of operation, formerly b¢ing the St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railâ€" road of Canada, opéned in August, 1852. It v:a taken over bx the Grand Trunk Railway in 1854. RIDE HISTORIC LINE RAILWAY HISTORIANS MONTREALâ€"Membeis of the Canadian Railroad Historical Assoâ€" ciation, Inc., visited Asbestos, Que., recently. From Montreal, they travelled by C.N.R. train over Victoria Bridge to Danville, by way of St. I{yndnth-. Actonvale and Richmond. The section of railâ€" Wolfe Islandâ€"ever heard of it? â€"seldom travelled onâ€"TN will try to describe it in next week‘s column as he comes home to Weston, near Toronto, 367 miles from Canada‘s metropolis â€" Montreal! TN only words were "Hey you! buzz off." Mr. Racoon obeyed this request and soon was journeyâ€" ing back into the forest, his proper home, and that ended, at 3.15 a.m. his little escapade and ends this column for another week! Supper first and then a swim in Paradox Lake? Looks craty and is so! Anyway TN is not that stupid so, up goes his tent and down he goes for a glorious swim and supper to follow. Otherwise never swim on a full "tummy." And by 11 p.m. all was quiet in that camp land and night had come. So up he gets with flashlightâ€" an indispensible item, folks, on any tourâ€"and out he pokes the beam of light on yon camp table. There! in all his wildlife glory stood Mr. Racoonâ€"making a good job of nosing lip all TN‘s cooking ufensils! TN has no fear of lonely campâ€" sites, often his tent is pitched in spots far away from human voices and habitations. He literally loves his wild life friends and is more at home and happier in their midst than on any city, towh or village street from Capetown to Nome, Alaska! And so to sleep TN went that July 19, 695 miles out from the town with the awellest surfaced main street in North America. TN was a dreaming of the pine clad mountain slopes, the mounâ€" tain peaks and those sun drenched lakes below when he was suddenly awakened by a din of falling pots and pans outside his tent. _ By the shores of Paradox Lake and Eagle Lake he entered another exquisitely kept N.Y. State campsites, page this ye folks at the Dept. of Trayel in Queen‘s Park! Three short clad US gals hailed TN as he climbed yon hill with a "Oh boy, what legs!! "From Weston near Toronto, Canada, I come," eame his reply. "Oh near Montrealâ€"I know," was the reâ€" joinder! â€" â€" Good legs, and. were this Weston cyclist‘s legs tanned as never before! Good lungs and a spot of determination kept this columnist on his cycle, not on foot, up that four mile long hill from 100 feet to 2,100 feet! And note his tent, cooking affairs and a goodly load were all aboard his eycle! â€" passed through Elizabethtown and east to Westport on Lake Chamâ€" plain. Mrs. Garvie of Queen‘s drive in Weston suggested to TN, ere he left, that he should visit Port Henry. So he came to this lovely spot. The stores were open and so were TN cycle bags for food for the morrow. Slowly < the hills began to get steeper but closer came thoge mountains. What a perfect sight it is to see the golden sun sinking behind a spruce clad mountain peak and the shadows of night creeping slowly down that slope. TN snapâ€" ped such & scene at near 9 p.m. and his effort was | literally crowned with success. Oh! to be a eycleâ€"tourist! Does the car driver see such sights? Forsake his cyele for a car even in midâ€"winter or on such a night as this as he cycled on, into the fast approaching night â€" towards those hills that have well nigh c@lled him back to revisit so man{ times? Under the steep slopes of Mt. Pokamonshine he camped that night. Ask the married "prop" of Wilf‘s Cycle and Sports in Weston tbout this spot â€"a N.Y. governmént campsite. | Touring Notes: | burg, he cycles on to Keeseville. TN starts this column at this valley town in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. It was at 8 p.m. that he slipped into this prettily situated spot, in a happy land, far away from noise and din. midnight oilâ€"even to two or three beils! Anyway its a contribution and he hopes some of his readers will understand the occasional trials that Beset an individual who péns contributary articles. In :nt issues TN has tried to describe his second tour of 1952, from Huntaville through Algonguin Park, camping at Golden Lake onto Ottawa, taking pictures of Bordeaux Gaol and ocean bosts in Montreal. He crosses the mighty St. Lawrence River and heads south to St. >Johil'l,7 crosses over into N.Y. State and, via Plattsâ€" a N.L. government cnm}i‘lite.

Founded in 1947 The Maritime _ Museum was founded in 1947 by a group of naval personnél and interested clv'flim in Halifax to provide an institution which would depict the historical connections between the sea, the naval and merchant serâ€" vices, and Canada, and to create a greater awareness of sea power as it affects the nation. It was also felt that a museum would provide officers and men of the naval fofces of Canada with finlter knowledge and pride in their serâ€" vice and its traditions. The building in which the Museum was located in HMC Dockâ€" yard for nearly four years, was demolished enxier this year to make w:% for the Halifaxâ€"Dartâ€" mouth Bridge and the Museum was moved to new quuw: on Haliâ€" fax‘s most famous landmark.

AIR CONDITIONED JU. 1960 , Sat. â€" Aug. 21â€"22â€"23 JANET LEIGH GLORIA _ DeHAVEN ANN MILLER EDDIE BJ Mrs. N. Kiutow had a shock last Tuesday when she discovered in her garden at 54 Yorkdale Crescent, Weston, a long snakeâ€"like animal sampling: the tomatoes and leaves grown b{ Mr. Kiutow. The dis~ covery of the animal was all the more horrifying to Mrs. Kiutow becguse it is unlike anything she has ever seen before. It had a 2%" long body which is 1" in diametar, nnd‘ the "thing" sqirms along on gight legs. As if this, and the orange spots on its back were not bad enough, the "thing" has a horn on top of its head to make it look more devilish. A hissing sound comes. from the mouth of the animal and Mr. Kiutow, who has done a lot of farming and enâ€" countered all types of insects and animals, says that he has never ;een anything like the "thing" beâ€" ore. Mr. and Mrs. Kiutow have the animal imprisoned in a can away from the tomatoes, potatoes and carrots growing in the garden, and they propose to find out the name of the animal from an authority on Animals in order to reâ€"assure themselves that the "thing" just can‘t be as bad as it looks. Suakeâ€"Like Animal In Weston Garden and GARY MERRILL "he most economical method of building a farm pond is by damâ€" ming natural drainage with an earthen dam at a point that will impound the largest area of water for the cost involved. At least one third of the total area of the pond should be six or more feet deep, so good fishing conditions may preâ€" vail, Mr. Snyder suggests, In I!‘”,‘ oneâ€"fourth of an acre should be the ’ntu. the majority has no place where children can enjoy a refreshâ€" ing swim or the farmer can cast a line for a mess of fish. Buch a situation need not be permanent, contends G. R. Snyder of Câ€"Iâ€"L‘s agricultural chemicals department. With a little effort and time a farm pond could be established which will provide a holiday environment for the whole family al) year ‘roundâ€"fishing and swimming during the summer and skating in the winter. > And Fun Galore For Youn FARLEY GRANGERâ€" SHELEY WiNTERS | Benave yourselF!
