PAGE 12, WHITBY FREE PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY, 31, 1973 Cont. from page 8 buildings and artifacts in Ca- nada. The cost to view most ... nothing! Nearby in Battlefield Park, which contains the Plains of Abraham, are evidences of the battle fought between Mont. calm and Wolfe when Wolfe scaled the cliffs in an attempt to capture the historic city. A grim reminder of that battle is the Citadel which even now contains govern- ment troops and all along the harbour area large black guns KimG $y. & OSNAWA still gaze 's e a w a r d to the mouth of the St. Lawrence River, as if in mute defence. To the East of Quebec City, on Highway 15, is Mont- morency Falls, a rapid torrent of water racing to the nearby river. You can walk in to the falls and get close enough to necessitate a change to dry clothes, and the grounds have plenty of provisions for pic- nickers. As if by a given signal, Quebeckers all of a sudden start raking the Fall's debris and alon'g the roads small fires destroy last year's foliage. Out come the bicycles, off comes the winter clothing and thoughts turn to boating. And 723-1176 DUNCAN TRAVEL Formerly l.T.C. Travel wish to announce new location downstairs Whitby Mali 723-6792 Stili some space available Charter flights to the U.K. all bookings in next 2-months are entered in our Free Draw for a fun filled week in Nassau 723-6792 yet, while all this is happen. ing, scarcely 25 miles east of Quebec City, at Mt. St. Anne, skiers are getting in their last licks on the north side of the mountain. Gone arebulky ski jackets and pants to be re- placed with shorts and halter tops and the chance of a good tan while skiing. Quebec in the Spring also means maple syrup and road- side stands spring up out of nowhere while all around drifts of snow still keep the memory of winter fresh. Mt. St. Anne is near the village of St. Anne de Beaupre, the site of the shrine church n a n e d after Sainte Anne, mother of Mary. The church is a huge build- ing and the grounds contain a replica of the original church, a monastery and life- size statues depicting the Sta- tions of the Cross. Beside the church is the Cyclorama, con- taining scenes of Jerusalen the day of the crucifixion. Back in Quebec City paint- ers set up their easels for a day of activity, visitors bar- gain for sketches and paint- ings in the narrow 'Artists Lane' and those who can't cope with the traffic take a horse drawn carriage ride and tour the historic points of interest. Ail of this and more is just eight hours drive away and for a Spring holiday it just can't be beaten. Quebec is a part of Canada you should get to know. La Belle Pro- vince really is ..... CAMP Located just over five mi- les from the centre of Whit- by is one of the most delight- fui conservation areas, a part of which is being used by the Whitby YMCA Day Camp. Four, two week camp per- iods will be held this year starting July 3rd. Highlights of the program are special events such as Lion Hunt, -Wide Game and Orienteering. The objectives are to provide an extensive program in an ideal setting with excellent leadership that the children may enjoy the opportunity of making friends, receive help in acquiring knowledge and skills to enable them to better enjoy outdoor hiking, cons- ervation, nature study, camp craft, outtripping and to imp- rove their swimming skills. The swimming pool was completely renovated in 1972 and the Whitby YMCA are very proud of it. Family nights are held every second Thursday evening. A selected group of coun- sellors have been employed from our district. They are Ken Reilly, Joy Pipher, Judy Koke, Paul Sutton, Sylvian Robertson, Janice Attersley, Debbie Williams, Paula Giffin, Daryl Holley, Geraldine Zuid- ema, Steve Thwaites, Kent MacDonald and David Snoddy. Kerry Delaney and Rob Faust will direct ail the swim- ming activities which includes Ail Kinds of Parts for All Makes of Li Trucks AUTIORIZED BENDIX DEALER OSHAWA MOTOR TRUCK TRUCKS CENTRE 555 WENTWORTH ST E 576-4400(416) OSHAWA K. W. IioIam J. D.

Children will leave at app- roximately 9:00 a.m. for camp and arrive back close to 4:30 p.m., Monday thru Fri- day. The day camp busses stop at numerous points in Whitby & Brooklin. Also there will be a bus pick up at Bay Ridges and Ajax High School. For further information p- lease phone the Whitby YMCA at 668-6868. The Whitby YMCA day camp staff hope that children from 7 to 14 yrs. will join them this sum- mer. This year, once again, the Whitby YMCA day camp is offering a Councellor in Lead- ership training program. The program is designed to ac- quaint 14 year olds with the basic theoretical and pratical councelling skills. CILT act- ivities are geared towards exp- osing young teens to the camp setting and are ideal for those hoping to gain employment as councellors in the future. The leadership experience wh- ich CILT's will gain will be beneficial not only in the camp counselling field, but in numerous other areas in the community. Approximately Il CILT's will be recruited for each 2 week camp session. Each CILT will work in conjunction with a counsellor and a group of campers, as well as receive theoretical training, swimming lessons and instruction in tea- ching and leadership skills. CILTS wil also be partic- ipating in the "BACK TO NATURE WITH CARE" pro, ject which is being offered by an O.F.Y. Grant in conjunct- ion with the regular day camp program. These activities will include ecological and conser- vational studies, camp crafts, outtripping, orienteering and special events such as Lion Hunts and Wild Games. For further information a- nd CILT application contact Freda Vella at the Whitby YMCA at 668-6868. Continued from page 6, Artists and photographers who couldn't exist without advertising pulled up tripods and left. Advertising contains a bit of the pride of of the manufacturer in every ad. They do brag a bit. It reminds me of an illustrative anecdote from my Kapuskasing days. My father layed out the golf course in Kapus- kasing. We had a United Church Minister, Rev- erend Caswell who loved golf. He was so passionate about the game he once had an evil idea. One Sunday, he brought in a sub- stitute minister, and while ail the Protestants and Catholics were at church, he sneaked off to the golf course. He was ail alone. God looked down and said, "John Knox come here. One of your Protestant types is playing golf on Sunday. What are you going to do about it?" "Watch this", says Knox. The Reverend Cas- well tees off and Knox makes a pass and the ball hits the green and drops into the cup. "A hole in one" says God. "What kind of a punishment is that?" "Aha," says John Knox. "Who can he tell?" On the morning of Day Five at Number Two, St. Clair Avenue West in Toronto, a meeting was being held in Procter and Gamble's board room. A young genius in the product research department had discovered a new detergent that would get clothes cleaner than Tide, whi- ter than Cheer and, once used, would actually make water algae-free without anti-pollution devices. "Boy, oh boy," the research man chortled. "Just wait until our brand men hear about this one. We'Il kill Lever and Colgate." In their quiet way, just as they had done in earlier years with Tide and Crest and Bold, P & G had continued to develop a new and better product to meet the demands of the public and beat the competition. Well, they put on a big demonstration at this meeting for the brand men.
