Maiden Voyage Next Spring
This artist's impression shows the new Empress of Canada's modern and stream-
lined design. The 27,300-ton flagship of the Canadian Pacific fleet of White
Empresses will leave Liverpool on her maiden voyage April 24, call at Greenock,
Scotland, the following day, arriving at Quebec City, April 30 and at Montreal,
May 1. Designed for service on the scenic St. Lawrence route and for winter-
time cruising, the liner is completely air-conditioned, She has accommodation for
1,060 passengers. (Canadian Pacific Photo)
The soup was thin, tasteless
and not very hot, Altogether
this was a dismal luncheon. All
around me tables for two or
four, empty of any customers
whatever, crammed the huge
restaurant, Now and then a
waitress would wander by with
a tray full of cartons of salt
or sugar to replenish receptac-
les on each of the tables.
Otherwise a hush had fallen
over the clatter of what had
been the noon hour rush.
There were now only three
of us in the cafe. Two men sat
at the next table to mine, so
close I could fairly feel them
breathing down my neck. Nat-
urally, in all the stillness, I
could hardly help overhearing
their conversation. Most of it
was quite uninteresting to me
untn one of the men said he
had taken his entire family
by train to the west coast dur-
ing the summer. "What a
country!" he exclaimed. "You
don't realize the vastness and
the varied type of terrain that
constitutes Canada until you
have made the trip across,jlap, se
prairies and through .mro'tm
tains." •
There was more praise of
the journey, the scenery and
the weather and then the voice
behind me said, "Yep, I was
so impressed I bought some
land at .0arnpbell River on Van-
couver Island. Next year I
plan to build a motel out there
and move the family to the
coast"
Campbell River! The name
was familiar because last sum-
mer I too, travelled by CN
railway to the west coast and
visited Campbell River. .This
fishing village is about as far
as traffic can travel north
from Nanaimo. I had included
it in my intinerary because I
had heard romantic tales of
film celebrities spending sever-
al weeks there each year. I
was curious to know what the
attraction was.

The trip by government fer-
ry from Vancouver to the Is-
land is a short, pleasant one
which makes excellent connec-
tions with a bus service. My
vacation companion and myself
had planned to rent a car when
we arrived. We thought we
could drive right around the
Island and come out in the
vkcinity of Victoria. We found
there was no continuous road.
In fact the west coast of Van-
couver Island is still almost
entirely a wilderness peopled
by loggers. The only roads are
the ones they build to get the
log, harvest out of the bush.
Roads have no continuity, we
were told, and seldom go any-
where.
The one that winds along to
Campbell River on the east
coast of the island is not spec-
tacular. In fact, after our trip
to Squamish, B.C., and our
memory of what the Malahat
Drive from Nanaimo to Vic-
toria was like, this venture was
almost devoid of scenery and
excitement whatever. But it
was not without interest.
Little farms were scattered
along the way. Some of them
with small orchards, others
had an oversized hen house be-
hind squat bungalows. It was
hard to imagine that these
were a source of income for
the inhabitants. The bus driv-
er told us many of the residents
were retired folk on pension
and only supplenient their in-
comes by the little that can
be garnered from these post-
age stamp-size farms.
Why do Bing Crosby and
Bob Hope choose to spend some
time each year at Campbell
River, we asked. We were told
it is because this is the most
famous salmon fishing ground
on the west coast. Wealthy
men have established super de-
luxe fishing camps there end
for a few weeks at the height
of the season they and their
guests compete with the hund-
reds of commercial fishermen
for an exciting catch in these
productive waters.
Little fishing boats were all
moored the day we were there.
Stern by stern, bow by bow
they bobbed in the tide, their
inboard motors silent. We did-
n't count them, there could
have been a hundred or more.
It wasn't hard to imagine the
thousands of tins of salmon
they were responsible for by
producing the raw ingredients.
The smell told the story.
Now as the chap at the next
table elaborated on the tourist
possibilities of Campbell River
and his faith in its, future, I
remembered two women pick-
ing they way along a stony
beach, their high heels digging
into slimy green pebbles. We
were searching, as all tourists
do, for sea shells. I found two
beautiful stones for the grotto
back home. They weighed ab-
out a pound each and would
become a burden in my lug-
gage before I returned home,
but this didn't deter me from
stuffing my purse and pockets
Seaforth Liquor
Store Now Open
The liquor store at Seaforth
was expected to open last week-
end. W. J. (Bill) Burns, form-
erly of Sudbury, has been ap-
pointed vendor, by the. Liquor
Control Board, and clerk is to
be M, E. Clarke, Seaforth.
as well with all manner of
shells and pebbles. I learned
afterward in a gift shop in
Victoria, where they were on
sale, that some natives of the
Island make a nice income
from collecting these pebbles
and polishing them to a smooth
colourful beauty. No wonder
we were so entranced by them.
Even in their unpolished state,
they were things of beauty in-
deed.
How often I have heard
people remark that there are
no new frontiers in Canada.
This chap (I wonder if his
soup was as cold as mine) fac-
ed a new frontier. From my
observations while travelling
the length and breadth of
Canada, there are limitless
opportunities for developing
tourist meccas in every pro-
vince in the Dominion. It just
needs a few intrepid souls like
the man next to me, who said
to his friend, "You've gotta
pick up land when it's cheap.
A few years from now land at
Campbell River will have sky-
rocketed." He's probably right.
At least one of the largest
super market developers in the
country has the same idea.
There's a sign on the main
street that reads something to
;this effect, "This; is the site
of a new shopping centre to
be erected soon." How soon?
Maybe the salmon know, or
the Crosbys and Hopes of this
world will influence its develop-
ment. Celebrities are known
to have a high tourist attrac-
tion value as has the sport of
feshing.

the one GUARANTEED investment
The graph of family life may
have its ups and downs—its
happy highs and occasional
lows. This is the unpredictable
nature of life. But the graph
of family financial security,
plotted wisely, need never show
such an uncertain pattern. For
family security can be guaran-
teed through Life Insurance.
As so many men have found,
wise investment in Life Insur-
ance, more than any other in-
vestment, does safeguard their
family's future welfare and
their own carefree retirement.
To families who made this
investment, Manufacturers
Life paid out, in 1960, over
$61 millions.
