Odds n' Ends, by Elaine Townshend Tooting our horns a. • • a few items in Canada's entertainment package. Meanwhile a variety, of museums bring Canadian history back to life. Vintage homes contain pioneer furnishings, clothes and tools, and forts recall the origin of the Motinted Police.*The days of the fur traders and trappers are revisited; the methods of clearing the wilderness for farms, towns, roads and rail lines are reviewed, and collections of antique cars and steam engines are displayed. At the same time, extravanganzas, such as Man and His World and Ontario Place, look at the present, at the future and at Canada's stand in the world. The nation's development has not been attained without strife or mistakes, but on at least one, day in the year-it's excusable to reflect on only the positive side. I always felt proud to be a Canadian, but until I saw more 'of the country last year, I didn't realize how much we have-to brag about. . The diversity of Canada was revealed to me one evening in a Vancouver living room. Through an open window, I watched the shadows shrouding the rockies, and at the same time, 1 listened to three Newfoundlanders telling stories. no one tells a Newfie joke better than a Neyvtle, and she never misses a chance to rib a mainlander, mate. Perhaps Canadians' ego receives its biggest boost from outsiders. Most Canadians travelling overseas report, when they are recongized as Canadians, they are welcomed with a special warmth and friendly courtesy. • That's one more reason for us to toot our horns on this Dominion Day.

Dominion Day is a good tithe • for. us Canadians to toot our own horns. Canada is a land of diversity - a quality that is evident in its geography and its industry, its people and its culture. From one ocean to the other, a traveller never gets bored for the landscape is ever-changing. The sandy beaches give way to mountains, which in turn become rolling hills map plains. The churning mountain stre4ms that spring from glaciers in the north, feed into plac id lakes in the south. Although man is pushing back the boundaries of the wilderness, some wildlife still •stalks the forests. The mining, lumbering, farming, fishing and touristry that make up Canada's industries, are each diversified. Power plants and rotating towers exemplify man's technical genius, while the provincial parks till his need to protect part of , the wilderness and to make it available to tourists. A few wild regions, however, refuse to be tamed or manipulated, and they remain intriguingly aloof. People are the most important ingredient of any nation, though. To her native people, Canada added citizens from many lands, who brought with them a variety of customs. The resulting blend is a unique Canadian ;culture. Many cities possess an international yet a truly Canadian flavour. For example, visitors can tour Japanese peace gardens. watch Ukranian folk dances and listen to scottish bagpipes or Irish jigs. They can tease their taste buds with menus ranging from lobster to sauerkraut to apple pie,. Rodeos and fairs, folk festivals and band concerts, indoor and outdoor theatres and clambakes. and maple syrup rests are only With the closure of several `arenas in Huron County and . neighbouring • ' counties, (Awareness League for Physically Handicapped Adults) feels now is the time the buildings can he made more accessible to- the physically handicapped.
