Is it true all accommo­ dations for the months Expo 67 will be open in Montreal has been reserved? , , , . Can we still obtain, train, reservations? , .', , -Will Expo 67 be ready by opening date? Last week I stood on a hilly, natural rock foirmdtiori bn He Ste. .Helene overlooking the siky- l'ine of'structures that are ris­ ing to' give the Expo theme • -'Man and His World” meaning in 1967. Much of the construct­ tian is months ahead of sche­ dule and, it as anticipated that by the end of the 'year 90 .per • cent Of all. buildings for one of . the world's greatest fairs • have been- completed. ’ Until I saw it with my eyes, 'the site of Expo 67 been only sheaves of exciting publicity rtedease?. I? was im­ pressed with plans for this unique way of celebrating Can­ ada’s centenary but found1 it difficult to realize that such a gigantic undertaking as cre­ ating most of the man-made islands bn which the pavilions will stand could' become some­ thing ■ real, something J could feel beneath my feet. * Specifications for many of will own had at To Celebrate 97th Birthday ‘ HENSALL — A patient Queensway Nursing Home, Hen- - sail, Mrs. Phoebe Weber, will ! celebrate her 97th -birthday' on Friday, June 17. A party will be held for her. A life-long resident of Zurich until coming to the1 nursing home, Mrs.'Weber was1 a seam­ stress most of her life-and gar­ dening was her favourite hobby. She -was an active; worker -in St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, Zu­ rich; ( ’ She has a family’ of one son, Morris, Zurich; -two daughters, Mrs! Hugh Thiel, Zurich, and Mrs. Gertrude Paters, London, Gardeners today expect pesti­ cides to be fast-acting and deadly. In order to be effective these chemicals must necessar- z ‘ ily be dangerous if used care­ lessly. Caution with toxic ma-' terials cannot be overstres$ed. 'Entomologists with the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food warn ■ that certain pre­ cautions must be observed: . ,'i. • Read and fplloiw all the directions'1 on ’ jibe container carefully: ’ ' ■ *2.

Rresentations were tnade by past president John Baker. , Dadoing to music by Desjardino orchestra was enjoyed at the arena. • s the buildings to’ be created here yisd With one -anothb-i- in their promise of splendor and unique theme. As each one of the some 70 naticais participating an- , mounce their intentions, plus those of Canada and Canadian industry, my personal attitude Was' one .unbelief. that .any­ thing 'as exoiting a!s Expo 67 promises to be,, could happen tp Canada. . ' Tt has, and the evidence is in the new 2,265 foot iqng -Con­ cordia Bridge that links1 Mon­ treal with -the exhibition isles. This was completed last fall and many of tife steel skeletons and enclosed pavilions are- al­ ready nearing completion. But this only answers one question. There steems. to be a bit of rather insidious rumor floating about that accommoda­ tion has 'all been reserved. An official > housing bureau has been set up. Thjte is; called log­ expo. It is operating free of charge and is intended to pro­ vide liaison between visitors and! all facilities, providing ac­ commodation including hotels, motels, -boarding houses, pri­ vate homes -'willing to lease rooms,, camping grounds, trailer parks and institutions such as universities ■■ and colleges. The bureau, using the latest com­ puter techniques will keep min­ ute to minute track of the 300,- 000 beds1 which are expected to be available to visitors;; ; Plan Now To Attend .Naturally it is wise to. make train. reservations months a- head. The year, 1967 is* going to be one of the greatest travel years, -in Canada’s history. Leav­ ing reservations until the last moment is never wise even under ordinary. circumstances. The companies', responsible for providing;'transportation for our birthday . visitor's' are making great plans for'aceommoidating ■an anticipated' coiossal number of tourists. CN has already , an­ nounced its inauguration of the turbotrain.. * This leaves the question of restaurant facilities.' The vari­ ous restaurants and. snack bars at Expo wiA be able to spat' 23,000 people?'at a time. Ten thousand of these seats will be ■in restaurants within national buildings; Thirty of , these pa­ vilions will hay© restaurants of-, fering exotic native foodls. Those - in charge of. this world’s fair are planning 38 restaurants and 67. snack bars. Price-wiise there is a, -wide range which will'be in effect from 65c at a snack bar to $5 for a deluxe meal. No one will go hungry .at Expo- 67, and for those who are wise enough to make their plans..early for a holiday visit to' the only first category exh'iibition ever a- ward!ed to- a countiy. outside Europe .by the- member nations of the international Exhibition Bureau, it could prove one of the most memorable, experi­ ences of a lifetime.;, * —:—<>,--------------- Huron County Farming Report .
