afternoon, and the next train had one more car attached, flflgd with the newspaper gang. Our first unofficial stop was several miles out of Jasper where we had a "passing" order with the eastbound Transâ€" continental. Our train took the siding and the trainman obllfingly remarked "a good picture could be taken" so out of the door climbed the five photo fiends. Being the last car it was a beautiful setâ€"up to photograph the Limited coming around the bend with the mountain as a backdrop. All five lined up along the car and each tried to catch the other with the train. The first two took their pictures and left three still shooting, those three not noticing that the train was pulling away, and were not able to hear the shouts of the others who were aboard. Finally the trainman whistled with one of those earâ€"splitting finger whistles, and did they wake up and run! (P.S.â€"They made it.) We mountainâ€"goated through the mountains and arrived at Mount Robson about a halfâ€"hour before sundown. Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, towers 12,972 feet, snowâ€"capped in all its beauty, with the red hued sunset streaming over and around it, light feathery clouds swirling gently around its peak, yet leaving it clear for a picture of unsurpassed excellence. Fine hunting, our guides told us, Bing Crosbg was there looki’llm'fi for big game. We missed him, but met his Press Relations officer. is time when the train pulled away the practical"jokers in the party were paid off in their own coin. Having announced "All Aboard" so often on the way out, they disâ€" regarded the "All Aboard" and had the dubious pleasure of running over the ties to catch the train, and the ladies with short tight xkirt.s‘ found it no mean feat to try and board a moving train when the step is 15 inches from the ground. Evening fell and darkness arrived along with a beautiful moon which threw its light on the streams and mountains. Too tired to stay up and look any longer, the party retired. (To be continued next week) BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT JASPERâ€"Just after noon we arrived at Jasper Park, and we were met by J. F. Stark, manager of the Jasper Park Lodge, who personally guided our party, and we sat back in the luxurious new 1947 blue Buick convertible sedans feeling like "kings" for an afternoon and the next morning. That afternoon we were driven to Pasper Park Lodge, a grand summer Lodge in a superb setting. Facing Lac Beauvert, with its green waters, which we have so often heard about but didn‘t believe, pastel green and clear, ten black bear cubs playing tag on the lawns near the swimming pool, this scribe (always having a plentiful supply of sugar) fed the cute little fellas, with one eye on the crowd and the other glued to the bears snouts, just in case they decided they didn‘t like me any more. The photographers really had a field day for a few moments, and then fortunately (we thought) a collie came sweeping across the lawns and in three lusty barks had the bears forty feet up in the trees. Driving out of the Lodge area we passed the kitchen door, and there a huge black was playfully pushing 4 ft. garbage cans over to see the contents thereof. We left at that time for MALIGNE CANYONâ€"a trip that will never be forgotten, through the Athabaska valley, winding roads, with engines straining slightly in the high altitude to climb to the head of the Canyon. The Canyon was pnly 190 feet deep, no place to slip and fall, with water cascading down its depths. Potholes that were really potholes and many times the size of the Elora Gorge here in our section. We were not warned (fortunately) that we were to walk‘ down the trail. It was only one and oneâ€"half miles but it seemed‘ like six, especially to the ladies in highâ€"heeled shoes, and the "cracks". Nevertheless we wouldn‘t have missed it for anything. We found the Buicks waiting for us at the end of the trail and so back to the hotel. MOUNT EDITH CAVELL was slated as our itinerary the next mornâ€" ing. Bright and early we pulled away in the convertibles with tops down, on our climb to the Ice Fields and Mount Edith Cavell which towers 11,000 feet, some twenty miles from town forming a breathâ€" taking background for the town of Jasper. The highway crosses the Athabaska River and several others, includinf rushing mountain streams clear and icy cold. The road ascends, in ong sweeps of about oneâ€"quarter mile at most and then backtracks, climbing all the time. Stay on your own side of the road is the driver‘s policy and a mighty good one it is, for the roads are dangerous and skillful drivers are an asset. Several stops were made during the climb to enable the party to see the grandeur unfold. Colors of all hues and shadesâ€"light, dark, and shadowâ€"made it a beautiful view. On reaching the Summit house, we started off on foot for the Ice Fields of the Mountain named after the courageous nutse, Edith Cavell, who lost her life in the First Great War. Many of the party hoofed it up the steep climb to the foot of the ice fields and continued on over to the face of the mountain. Words cannot describe the breathâ€"taking view which unfolds high up in the November lith will be with us soon once more and millions of C‘mdhmwmbeweafin‘thebloo&ndpoppluinmbnmd the one hundred thousand heroes who gave their lives in the two world wars. WEARY LEGS WENDED THEIR WAY TO THE SLEEPER again that When you are approached this year to buy a poppy, make. your tontribution a generous one.

More than 45,000 poppies were sold in Ontario in 1946 and it is hoped that sales will increase in 1947.

Much criticism bas been levelled against the car manufacturers for the increase in prices of cars. Most individuals hoped that with the experience gained by the manufacturers during the last war, that an increase in production and a drop in the price of cars would result. However, many things, with labor being the prime reason, tended to boost not only the price of the finished automobile, but also the many component parts that went into its making. In announcing price increases on all Ford products, the following increases were listed to explain the 50% increase in the retuil price of cars and trucks since 1939. ’With incfe'asw as high as these for materials, is it little wonder that the price of the finished product must be raised?
