Elizabeth and His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh are currently receiving a warm welcome in Ontario, comparable to the truly royal welcome which they have received since first setting foot on Newfoundland's soil, and which; will greet them at every turn until : the moment of their departure from the "Dominion.

'.Were we describing our nation to a stranger, who could fail to mention the hundreds of beau- tifullakes and 'rivers, the fishing,boating and swimming;?

The Cana- dian Red Cana-dian,:Red. Cross Society is pointing the way to a safer summer with a determined cam- paign aimed at '.making everyone aware of the dangers in and around the water.
