Aly Country By JIM CARTER
S.S. .5, Usborne
Mighty were the preparations
for this trip—-much planning,
earning money and map study.
We were informed by our teach
ers at the new year. Excitement
rose as the days went by and at last it was here. We were*on the
bus.
Everyone had to move their
seat, pull down the blind, or
monkey with something new.
Many jokes were swapped as we
couldn’t see because of a fog.
Our guide pointed out various
places of interest as we passed
them. On farther the land was
reddish tinged and became quite
red soil. On the Lizzy or dual
highway, many orchards were
seen. A stop before Toronto was
made at a gas station. Much
construction was .going on there.
On Lake Ontario we soon
came to Toronto where we saw
the Royal York Hotel, Exhibi
tion Grounds, and the beginning
of a fire in the oil section,
was dinner at the depot in
Hope. We still followed the
to Trenton where the boys
interested in the aircraft.
We went a little out of
way at Kingston to view an
historic fo*t

other
plates,
thi cle
toric Ivy Lea Bridge, where in
1942 our Prime Minister and
US President met to renew their
friendship. We travelled on till
we turned at Prescott and up to
Ottawa.
We arrived at our destination,
Ottawa, which is |
beautiful setting
in the world, with
rivers—the Ottawa,
in the most
of any capital
a trjo of
. the Rideau
and the Gatineau. Of these rivers
the largest, the Ottawa, cascades
around the foot of Parliament
Hill in the lovely Chaudiere
Falls. Across the capital, flanked
by landscaped drives, the calm
Rideau Canal drifts lazily by.
After a sleep at the Y.W.C.A.
and Y.M.C.A. we were off to see
the Public Archives. There many
saw an old model of Quebec and
Ottawa; also maps, deeds, and
collections of past leaders’ be
longings. We had a short walk
to the Royal Canadian Mint.
Here we saw our coins being
minted, punched, weighted and
sorted, Many changed the dollar
bill for the silver dollar. Our
next stop was the War Museum.
We saw and heard the history
of guns, swords, planes an'd
many a captured relic of a past
war.
At noon we saw our main at
traction, the majestic Houses of
Parliament
high bluff
ground are
Hills. After
we had a
roamed the
Chamber,
and the Altar of Remembrance.
We also saw the parade of the
speakers and saw Parliament in
session in the House of Com
mons.
We then went to see the lib
rary, the only part saved from
the fire which destroyed most of
the Pfa r 1 i a m e n t Buildings in
1916. This room is almost all
Canadian oak, the only wood
part of the building the spiral
shaped shelves covered with
thousands of books reaching tip
200 feet. The floors up to the
books are inch thick glass.
We then heard an
speech by the
our country,
with clearer
country.
The tour of
Rockcliffe
beautiful tulips, luxurious homes
and across the Chaudiere Falls
in Hull we saw Eddy Match
Company’s large pulp piles. Many
Ottawa and Hull residents work
in the government-owned fac
tories. After supper we toured
the famous 'Chateau Laurier
Hotel, which is a ma-in attraction
too: This hotel has restaurants,
bar, lounges and lobby, where
many a political man can be
found. Under the street is a tun-
nel connecting it with the Union j
Station, a great convenience to
its guests.
After returning to the “Y”
most of the boys went swim
ming. Some watched a weight
lifting contest where a negro
lifted 330 pounds.
After breakfast next morning
we were off on our homeward;
journey. Aftei’ a few jokes on
crossing the Mississippi River,
we were in true bush country.
Many a stone or rail fence separ
ated a rocky field. After driving
past lovely lakes, rivers and for
ests, which ■were at that time in
almost full leafage, we reached
Peterboro and its famous lift
locks. These locks lift a boat by
machinery, not water, and are
the only ones of their kind in
the world.
Within a few hours we were
back in our home county, of
Huron, We brought home many
memories of our capital and a
feeling of pride that we live in '
a country bursting with natural
riches and resources.
