THE EXETER TWK-APVQCATE UWnWIMY, M W SWS, 1011
S
il 26 *G,
<3>
This is an invitation to our American friends
to visit Canada during the week June 28th to July
6th. It is not a casual courtesy to “drop over and
see us some time”, but a definite invitation. The
week chosen is “made-to-order” for the visits em
bracing as it does, Canada’s “Dominion Day”
and United States, “Independence Day.” The plan
« 45 is being carried in practically all Ontario Weekly
Newspapers, and their combined circulation in the
United States, plus the many who will follow the
suggestion printed below and mail papers to
American friends, will ensure visitors that they will
meet old1 friends in their old home towns on the
week specified.
The plan is by no means an ’’Old Home Week,”
and no entertainment is planned. It is designed by
Canadians to offset rumors prevalent in the United
States regarding conditions in a Canada at war.

Welcome to Ontario
The war has made no difference to American travel in Ontario.
Entry and exit from this premier province of the Dominion of
Canada is as free as in peacetime. No passports are required of
United States citizens. The simplest form of identification suf
fices for Border-crossing purposes. For proof of this—-if proof be
thought necessary-—one need vbut consult any of the thousands
upon thousands of delighted travellers who were our guests during
1940. 4
Let none of the “spare rumors” of which you may have heard
last season interfere with plans for future holidaying.
To Ontario, with its 400,000' square miles of lakes, woods, streams,
scenic playgrounds and busy cities, its wonderful fishing and
hunting, its unsurpassed Canadian highways system, its complete
freedom from- bridge tolls, meals taxes and local sales taixes, and
its primary desire 'to be a good host to friendly, understanding
neighbors, we cordially invite you again this year. A far larger
return on yo.ur American dollar than any mere premium—-substan
tial as that premium may be—awaits your visit here. Conte and see
for yourselves what Ontario has to. offer in vacation pleasure.
I know you will not be disappointed.
' M. F. “HEPBURN,
Premier, Province of Ontario
This year, July 4th falls on a Friday and pro
vides an excellent opportunity for a real week-end.
All that poppycock about food and gasoline ration
ing, compulsory military service and the seizure of
personal firearms and fishing tackle is pure, un
diluted bunk. You never were as free in your life
as you will be on your next visit here. There will
be a welcome on the mat, or a light in the window,
depending on the hour of your arrival. Wind up
the gas buggy on that week-end and be here; ex
pect to meet old friends and enjoy yourself. ’
In the centre of this page, Hon. Mitchell F.
Hepburn, our premier, extend^ his invitation to
^American visitors, and adds his assurance that
their visit will be as pleasant and trouble-free as
; Canadian authorities can make it. We, of Exeter,
add our invitation to our Premier’s. As citizens of
Canada, we know conditions for what they are,
and can back our Premier’s statement to the limit.
