Editor. e THE ALGO.NQUl.N PARK An Advance reader la.st week took a hurried trip through Algonquin Park and writes most enthusiastically of the experience. This Provincial Park is located. in the hinterland of Hali- burton, Nipissing, Muskoka, with a good gravel highway crossing the south-west corner. It is approximat- ely 145 miles from east to west and a maximum of US from north to south, with, so far as he could learn, only some 40 odd miles of highway. Passing through^ the party counted fourteen deer along the highway. They appeared to be licking the cal- cium chloride â€" and enjoying the ex-, perience. One herd of eight was observed. No shooting of game Is allowed in "The Park," and so they were quite tame, but not really familiar. Fishing licenses are sold (at $3.00 per person to Ontarians) and permit one to bring three rods in to the Park â€" a fly rod, casting rod and bait rod. A toll iW charged for all cars entering the Park. So far as we know this is the only toll road in the Province. The charge is |10.00 per car for which a permit is issued, good for the entire year. The Advance reader went down No. 7 highway to Madoc, where slate and talc mines have been operated, turned north on highway No. 62 to Whitney, on the eastern end of the Park high- way. The trail led through wilder- ness, emerging at Huntsville, and proved an unique experience to the Grey County resident. Turning westward at Whitney, high- way No. 60 led through the Algon- quin wilderness. The chief recreation in the drive consisted in watching for the next deer. The late W. H. T. often used to refer to the deer which, in his boy- hood days, came down into the Kim- berk'v valley near the old Thurston iiomestead to the "deer licks." It is interesting to note that the modern deer have their luxuries, too â€" and that one of these is a forty-mile deer lick! If an unique tour is desired by any Advance readers, the suggestion is that they take this run, which is ap- proximately 350 miles from Orillia, via Peterboro, and back again.

RepresenUtive on the Press Pilot Train Third Kclca.se Covering the Visit of 'I'licir Majesties to Western Canada and the Pacific Coast NDM J. W. Cook Flefsherlon Vancouver, May 30, l'J39. Leaving Winnipeg, where the re- ception was i-eally colossal, the train ran into Portage exactly on time and was greeted by a huge crowd massed around the statioti; there was only a short stop but there was ample evid- ence of the western loyalty which we first saw in Winnipeg. After dusk .set in we entered the approach of the C.P.R. station at Brandon and here was the most astounding display of the entire trip; Jianked on a natural hill which sloped l)ack to Railway Avenue, were eleven thousand school children from Bran- don schools and one hundred rural dl.stricts in that portion of Manitoba; added to the children were 20,000 adults from the city and district; the ft'ception platform was bathed in floodlights, making it as bright as (lay. The rousing reception given the press train was ample evidence that Their Majesties were in for a reaf royal acclaim. Both trains were stopped at Ken- may for sleeping but left early next morning on the way to Regina; pass- ing through Wapella, Moosomin, Vir- den, Whitewood, Wolseley, Broad- view and Indian Head, all of these points being gaily decorated and each had its quota of citizens who gave a splendid account of themselves by cheering; at many of these points it was quite noticeable the number of aged persons who were ready to greet their King and Queen by means of waving a flag. Arrival in Regina saw the sun shining in all its splendor; the writer received a welcome on the platform from Premier W. J. Patterson and Mr. D. B. MacRae, the latter request- ing that we go on the radio for sever- al minutes with a greeting to the people of our home province; to do this we were rushed up to the roof of the Union Station in an elevator and there answered several questions put to us by Mr. Speers of CKCK, the pioneer broadcasting station of Sask- atchewan. Coming down from the roof we had mis.sed our "press car" and prepared to wait until after Their Majesties had arrived and left the fetation; as a consequence we stood at the main entrance to the station and witnessed one of the greatest demon- strations of loyalty of the entire tour; thousands lined all approaches to the station and every building had its full quota of cheering populace; this reception was demonstrative that several men whom we knew personally to be not easily aflfected, had tears streaming down their faces. As one man said to me, "isn't she a wonder- ful young woman and he is so youth- ful"; it was indeed very dramatic to see the reaction of this immense crowd to the smiling countenance of Her Majesty and the respectful salute of The King. The reception and ac- claim of the capital city of Regina, extended to Their Majesties left nothing to be wished for; the key- stone province of the Dominion took this noble English gentleman and this lovely Scottish lady, our beloved King and Queen, to their hearts and shouted, cried and \even screamed their welcome. When it came time to say farewell Reginians did it well. At Regina the press men and women were the guests of the city business men to an informal reception in the Anniversary Services At St. John's United Church Next Sunday, June 11, will be vSt. John's anniversary. Rev. A B. Irwin of Owen Sound will be special speaker. The Hoard of Stewards is ask- injr for special offering: so that all accounts may be paid at end of June, before Mr. and Mrs. Service leave for their work at Hamilton. No longer will there he millions of Canadians who have never seen the King and Queen. It would take more than a periscope to see around all the comers in Euro- pean politics and scheming of today. A general complaint about house- cleaning is that part of it seems to consist in taking things from here and putting them there. Vicar (annoyed): "Why didn't you [Hit my luggage in as 1 told you?" Scottish Porter: "Er, mon, yer lug- gage Is no sic ft fnlp as yorsel'. Ye'rc in the wrong train." bull room of the Hotel Saskatchewan and this "get-together'' was one of the highlights of the press trip so far and that is saying a lot; we have been royally received at every point. This writer enjoyed almost a com- plete rest day in Regina for it was here that I saw my wife and family and met scores of friends; this can be better appreciated when I tell you I have been longer away from my home and office on this trip than I have in the past 25 years. Shortly after leaving Regina we received another tumultuous greeting when we reached Moose Jaw; here another radio broadcast took plac* from the roof of the station with Charles Jennings, chief announcer of CBC, P. F. Dimbelle, of BBC, as guest speaker and Assistant Post- master on Royal train, Major Pascoe, as Master of Ceremonies. This city was a wonderful sight with a profu- sion of illuminations and no end of decorations and the usual cheering thousands. Calgary extended a wonderful re- ception to their King and Queen; the city was in gala attire and at this point there was an extensive Indian encampment; when Their Majesties reached the Indian display the Red- skins insisted that they would initiate His Majesty but this was not per- mitted owing to lack of time; the Indians, however, stopped the Royal car by throwing Buffalo robes in its path and Their Majesties alighted and chatted with those in charge. Banff next and that means the pal- atial Banff Springs Hotel, the most beautiful hotel on the continent when luxury and grandeur of scenery is considered; owned and operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway Co., it is situated at the junction of the famous Bow River and Elbow River, and looks out over the Bow River Valley; Mr. R. M. Deyell, the genial manager and his capable staff await- ed the arrival of Their Majesties and e.scorted them to the Vice-Regal suite on the sixth floor. Banff was a day of rest for all concerned. Shortly after the arrival of the Royal party, I, in company with two friends, Mr. Ernest Bushnell and Mr. Charles Jennings, both executive officials of the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora- tion went for a walk to the Bow River falls and on returning up the narrow pathway, we met Their Maj- esties attired in walking clothes pro- ceeding, unattended towards the falls. It was a shock but a pleasant one and was to be followed hy several such experiences while at Banff. The press men were guests at a dinner given by the Government of Canada, at which the Right. Hon. W. L. Mac- kenzie King, Prime Minister, and all the members of the Royal suite were present; after this function there was a delightful musicale in the Lord Mount Stephen room; while listening to this delightful treat those along with me observed 'Their Majesties standing at an alcove above; soon there came a Royal Command from Her Majesty for a particular song and this was sweetly rendered. While debating whether to take a walk or go to bed, we were pleasantly sur- prised to see the King and Queen walk toward the crowd and both were very gracious; they chatted with many members of the press and laughed heartily at some of the re- marks made by visiting journalists in the party. My, oh my, how very charming they both are; such inci- dents as this and a score of others have completely won the hearts of every person with the press train. On Sunday morning I walked to the station and took a look at the beauti- ful little Anglican church in the town of Banff where Their Majesties at- tended a special service, before leav- ing on an auto drive to Lake Louise and Field. The trip through the mountains was uneventful until we stopped at Revelstoke, B.C., where I met W. S. Harris of Vernon and Mr. Maclean of Kelowna, B.C., two of the B.C. weekly publishers. At 9.30 a.m. we arrived in Vancouver where a tumultuous greeting was extended Their Majesties and which I wit- nessed at close range, having been assigned to the roof of shed C, oppos- ite to the ramp of the C.P.R. station. The train had scarcely rolled to a stop when Their Majesties stepped to the platform to be greeted by a vocif- erous acclaim; His Majesty dressed in the smart grey uniform of the Royal Air Force; Their Majesties were greeted by His Worship Mayor Tel- ford and other city officials. The guard of honor was composed of the Canadian Seaforth Highlanders with their band and regimental colors. The Queen, a lovely picture of regal grace and dignity, wore her usual charmine Session Of Parliament (Continued From Page 1) and four pence per stone (eight lbs.). Kveii then the government sustained a loss of 6i cents a pound on the ship- ment, or a total on the experiment of $23,000. The Minister of Agriculture thought the experiment was worth the money, but some of the members did not. Joe Harris, Toronto member, thought too much of the benefit went to the packing houses. The youth training project was em- bodied this year in a separate Bill, which provides for an outlay of $1,- 500,000 a year for three years in a variety of ways and in co-operation with the provincial governments. Some are courses designed to lead to employment, while others seek to en- rich life, such as the rural training courses and physical culture. The total of all who received some form of training since the inauguration of the scheme is 117,675, but the courses designed particularly to lead to em- ployment had a registration of 28,614^ of whom more than nine thousand discontinued before completion. Of the remainder, forty per cent found employment. In reply to a question as to how the youths were recruited, the Minister, the Hon. Norman Rogers, said that the selection was made through the employment service of Canada. He admitted there had been some com plaints with respect to the selections made. In connection with youth training, I urged the establishment of schools which would teach the principles and practice of co-operation, using possib ly as a model the September confer ence at the O.A.C. last year. And, further, that we benefit from the ex ample of the United States in com- munity development. There they send, on the request of communities, a dramatic director^ a singing instructor an arts and crafts leader or a physi- cal culture director, at the expense of the federal government. That is youths live in their own homes, carry On their own lives, and yet receive training and enjoyment when they show enough initiative to organize and ask for it. It costs the govern ment much less and is, I think^ better for the youth. Denton Massey made a most com' prehensive speech on the need of national responsibility for the health of the people. It would require the whole space to do it justice. And so we disperse, to our homes all over this great covintry, without knowing whether or not we will have an election. The majority think we will. One press man has even the election date fixed --for Monday, October 2nd. â€"AGNES C. MACPHAIL OTTAWA, ONT. Sunday, June 4th, 1939 smile and immediately charmed all within sight of her sweet presence; as Their Majesties passed the press stand the Queen bestowed a smile on the men and women who have been following the trip and recording every movement. After a drive around Vancouver and inspection of the profusion of decora- tions, bunting and a scor^ of other methods of outwardly expressing the loyalty of the citizens, I arrived at the new palatial Hotel Vancouver, here I was deeply impressed and dis- tressed with the show of military and police regulations; it was about as easy to enter the Bank of Canada at midnight as it was to either enter or leave this hotel. On arrival at the hotel Their Majesties stepped out on the balcony and received a thunder- ous greeting from an estimated 500,- 000 people gathered from the city and suburbs, as well as many thousands from the United States. The Rpyal party leaves Vancouver this afternoon for Victoria and as the Pilot boat precedes them by one hour 1 will have to bring this release to a close in order to rush it to Brampton and the capable hands of Clarence V. Charters, for his attention. The next story will deal with Victoria, the most westerly point Their Majesties will touch on .this 3,000 mile jaunt across this western portion of their far-flung empire.
