A ROYAL WELCOME
Her Majesty Queen. 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.
Such royal tours are never • free of a
'certain amount of controversy and the pro-
vocative" "indifference" statement by CBC's
Joyce Davidson • on a U.S.. TV 'show,- stir
• redup ,quite a furore, as itwas played up
in, the press andon television,
Certainly she would 'have no way of
assessing the innermost feelings ' of the
Capad an people, Certainly • the ,gracious..
Queen and, her affable consort,. play a vital
role in ' the cementing : of -the ties of the . Brit .
ish Commonwealth.. of Nations.;
Certainly there are those who profess
indifference, notably among the male •
species, but we Venture to say there. are
comparatively "'few,. who . so profess, that
will not take a squint from behind their
paper as the _ royal tour is televised or who,
do not follow it to some degree ' in their •
daily : papers; There are always those who
But Canadians mean well:,.. The warm-
th of their welcome to the Queen and, her
husband is genuine, and that is something

HELP CURB THUS ,NEEDLESS TOLL
Canada has beenbountifully blessed
with 'facilities for outdoor recreation. '.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;?
But would we be so" proud to mention ,
the annual toll . these waterways take of our.
citizens' live? Each year almost one . then -
sand men, women and children, swimmers
and non -swimmers both, drown in sour
provinces. This year ••will be no different

conscious. •
The : picture could be changed com-
pletely if we all co-operated to., make 'our
country wide wake in the ways of water
safety. For the sad fact is that most of these
fatal accidents could have been prevented:
They happen because people did not think,
tried to "show off, or: had just not learned
the basic water.••safety rules:
What can•be done about it? 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.
This attack against aqua -accidents., was
launched last week when National Water
Safety Week, was observed across thecoun-`.'

each one should •'make sure heknows the
rules, of water safety and what to; do ifan
emergency.: in thq water faces him this sum-
mer. `.This knowledge, and the exercise of
caution, can do much to make'. this. a _happy,
casualty -free, holiday season:
are reluctant to admit that such ..things, in
terest' them.
Those, we believe, who are really in-
different to the royal visit, may well be
numbered among that group which is in-
different to all matters of civic or .Iation-:
al pride, ' and who personally take very :
little: part or . interest in:. the general welfare
of hisor her own community
True, the tour becomes a . tiring repet-
ition
of presentations and inspections, with.
•..the top -hat :crowd always eager to add to
''the length of the reception line, until these
hand ,shaking ordeals .'must reach the point
of merciless monotony, such as only a
Queen could endure.
