There will be facilities for renting Wheel chairs and hostesses to help the handicapped. \ The most_. recent addition to CFB Clinton’s rnany^ cultural and recreational groups is a ski club. v Recently over a dozen hardy skiers, travelled to Beaver Val ley ski area to enjoy the scen ery, and the thrills -of plummet ing down skj slopes at high Speed. Snow conditions were re ported excellent as were the facilities at Beaver Valley. Located'• near Kimberley, ap proximately 85 miles from Clin ton, Beaver Valley amenities include a comfortable ski lodge, a lunch counter and a, ski and boot rental shop. It 'is anticipated that trips to Beaver Valley , will be arranged every two weeks With the next outing scheduled for the 18th of February. There is a pos sibility that transportation will be provided. Anybody wishing, to join the ski club is request ed to contact Cpl. “RliCk” Nelson at the Physical Training Centre, local 367. -----------o----------- 4-H Girls Elect Officers for 1967 The first meeting of Clinton No. 1, 4-H girls was held at the home of the assistant leader, Mrs. N. Tyndall; the leader’ is Mrs. R. Thompson. The spring project is to be a study of “A World of Food in Canada from 1867-1967”. Twelve girls were present and officers were elected: Helen Good, president; Rhonda Rath- well, I vice-president; Heather McAdam, press reporter; Bon nie Riehl and Mary Lou Castle are telephone girls. . Clinton Lions Club will soon ,be soliciting funds to carry on their crippled children’s work. This young boy has just been fitted with a new pair of braces for legs which are still weak but through special care and treatment, are strengthening each day. They are his fourth set of braces, each pair having cost about $300.00. So you can see it’s expensive to help a crippled child along the road to recovery and only with Easter Seal donations, the Ontario Society for Crippled Children and the 230 Easter Seal service clubs, can these girls and boys hope for a brighter tomorrow. Do your part by sending a generous Easter . Seal gift to Clinton Lions Easter Seal Campaign. In total, the province is hope ful, of raising $1,400,000 this year to provide even greater rehabilitation pro grams for a greater number of children.

Certainly one of the miosit cherished assets to anyone in a chosen field is pride in .their work, and more so if that vo cation is linked to another’s accomplishments and successes. My great pride has been my association with the department of public relations of Canadian National Railways. Previous to elight years ago, the year the Vagabond column came into being, people were rather sarcastically referring to the heart of Montreal’s busin ess section as “CN’s hole in the ground". Actuality this hole was the railway’s then president, Donald Gordfon’s immediate cftallqnge to bring all CN of fices, at that time scattered among several ancient office, buildings, under one roof. Building the Queen Elizabeth Hotel gave the first impetus to the skyscraper era Montreal has seen developing for a decade. That “hole in the ground” has Since bten filled with the CN •headquarters building’beside its hotel (which is managed! by Hilton), and Place Bonaventure. Out where the west begins (how I love that phrase) the Symington hump yard was com pleted in Winnipeg as were those at Moncton, New Bruns wick, and Vaughan on the outer perimeter of Toronto, Ontario. To be more specific these arc freight classifying' yards. Saskatoon’s ‘CN station was moved to the’suburb of Nutana, where there is developing a vast industrial complex. This year, the old station property in the heart of the city will shed a magic cloak and turn into one of the finest shopping areas in the west. In Edmonton, the handsome new CN Tower looks over the dramatic civic redevelopment in that city. Our national capital, Ottawa) boasts about plans to establish a transpOTtartion. centre in Toronto's Union Station that will be unequalled1 on thlis con tinent. CN will naturally-plw an important part in thfe un dertaking when, and if, it comes off the planning board into the construction stage. Such pro jects take time to travel through’ the many channels of municipal, provincial and fed eral government. CN’s march of progress is shown in its determination to woo passengers back to travel by rail. The Red, White and Blue bargain fare rates in effect across Canada have proved their Worth. Last year there was an 18% increase in passen ger revenue. The Rapid©, fastest train on. this continent, made its debut on rails more than a year ago. In June another ad vance will be witnessed when CN’s 'turbotrain goes into .ser vice between Toronto and Mon-. treal. Whil el have been boasting about the accomplishments that, come within my realm of pro motion, as citizens we should never forget the tremendous undertaking of moving tons' of wheat, iron ore, lumber, potash and newsprint. The company’s freight department has tackled' this and responsibility with vision alacrity. "" . ----------_o__-------- The February meeting of Unit 2,' Ontario Street UCW was opened with a poem “It Couldn’t Be Done”, read by Mrs. Art Groves. . Mrs. L. Ellis and Mrs. C. Garrow .gave the devotional “What is the Church”i The Church tn Canada is be ing studied this year, and Mrs. Groves discussed “The Third Solitude” which describes the poverty in Montreal and how this is being corrected. The speaker, outlined the church's role in this problem. Mrs. Garrow was the. dele gate appointed to attend Huron Presbyterial annual meeting in Whigham on February 21. A quiz on Canada closed the meeting, and Mrs. C. Doucette, Mrs. H. Nivens, Mrs. C. Proc tor and Mrs. M. Butler were hostesses for the social time.

Mrs. Rai Shaddock and Mrs. May Gibson recently returned from a two week tour of Wash ington and Florida. Cities visit ed included Tampa and Miami. -----------O---------r~ The La Ronde amusement area at Expo 67 has a total of 25 rides, ranging from a 19th Century Carrousel to the thrill ing Gyrotron, a mammoth build ing in which adventure seekers take a simulated journey in space, are hurled into the mouth of a volcano, -and then swallow- .ed by a metal monster. 4*—'"' ■■■'" ' '' .'

LUDINGTON • Two years ago &. quiet little island in the St. Lawtence River was a' place where citi zens might go, when in search of a peaceful bairis. Expo was a great plan in the minds of its originators. • A year ago the island and ; 417 acres of reclaimed land ' from the miighty river was large ly a sea .of frozen mud, criSs- . crosted by a series of makeshift gravel-and-dirt jobs. 4) Now1 Expo 6y is a reality —and the mid-riVer site iS charged with much of the zest and'zeal, enterprise and excite ment, glamor add go-go that will burst full-blown bn th© world when the magnificent ex travaganza is officially opened ' April 28. Only d year ago some 2,000 Workers toi'ldd bn the stark, frozen concrete foundation or drove the giant diesels. By No vember *66 this total was over the 8,000 mark. ' , The; schedule promises that by the end bf next month 116 projects that are the responsi bility of the Expo Corporation itself wjll be tohfoleteid. This will leave only a mere 18 to go. xifitii the top-level executive can heave that mighty sigh of relief, But even tlicm, there’ll be the final details like street furni ture, and fountains, and a.dozen other important things that can’t be done until the last minute. ‘ .' Looking over the site now, there is no evidence that any major work won't ib© completed, on time. The few pavilions with scnle work uncompleted are the smaller ones — uncomplicated in design and easy to finish. 1 Expo Express and. the mini rail are finding bridges and ponds and lagoons right where they should be according to plan — as they swing around and about on trial runs. The LaRonde amusement area is already gay, with tile French Village, the English Pub, the Children’s Worlds The Garden of the Stahs.
