Leaving Clinton they motored through Sudbury calling on friends at Long Bow near Kenora, thence to Virden, Manitoba and a visit with some of the Ashtons. Their journey next took them through Saskat- chewan to Edmonton and on to the McKenzie highway north to High Level, at which point they • branched off to Fort Vermilion, , where they stayed a week with Mrs, Creighton's son, Harold ,,,,,and family: From here the travellers motored south and west on the new David Thomp- son highway which joins the Banff-Jasper route passing the scenic Columbia Ice-fields. Af- ter Lake Louise it was No. 1 highway through B.C. to Mission City, where they spent a week with friends and on to White Rock for an evening with former Clintonians, Betty and Ted McCteath. The return trip was through the Okanagan valley - seeing the fruit orchards at first hand. Back in Alberta they visited friends and shopped in Medicine Hat - an added ad- vantage to shopping in that province - no tax! A stop was made at Cabri, Sask. where Mrs. Creighton was raised, Crops were considered very good in spite of the late seeding, but grasshoppers were reported becoming a serious problem. The last stopover for visiting was at Thunder Bay to see the Ashton family - then the final day a 300 mile trip from Blind River home to Clinton. All this between June 24 and July 26. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Tom Chuter and Mrs. Elsie Youngblut visited recently with the lat- ter's sister, Mrs. Gordon Curts at Arkona. * * * Visiting relatives here for several days have been Mr. and Mrs. Don Barker and Glenn of The Royal Ontario Museum is bringing two billion years of Southern Ontario history to Goderich on August 7, in a bus. The Museumobile is one of three presently touring the province as part of the museum's mobile exhibition visiting schools, libraries and civic centres. In Goderich the exhibits will be on display at the Huron- County Pioneer Museum on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and will be open from nine o'clock until 4:30 on Wednesday and from 1,2 o'clock until 8 o'clock on the remaining three days. For those who wish to go early the Pioneer will be open from 9 in the morning until 8 at night on those days, The bus contains fossil specimens, maps and written and projected information that guide visitors through forms of invertebrate life from two billion years ago to present times and even into fossils of the future. The first section marks the passage of over 150 million years from the time Southern .Ontario was under the sea. This section is marked by a series of lights, each one marking one million years. Each foot a visitor walks takes him through ten million years of rock record in Ontario, The next section begins one million years ago when the province was under ice. When glaciers a mile thick covered the land during the Ice Age, hairy mastadons foraged for food along the fringes and their skeletons, teeth and tusks are found in Ontario. Fossil remains of capelin, the fish that are a delicacy in the Maritimes and Newfoundland today, in- dicate that the fish swam up to Ottawa 12,000 years ago along the arm of the sea that is the St, Lawrence today. The final section represents the invettpbrate fossils of the future, The tropical coral reef on display is the food and shelter for a great variety of animals, and is typical of what would have been on display with the exception of sponges and gorgonian corals leave their skeletons as evidence of their existence, 'the musetimobile 'Fossils of southern Ontario" is designed to create a better understan- ding of the history of Ontario and the vital role fossils play in the recording of past events. Through them the history of Ontario life can be documented back as far as two billion years. 9" SIDING AOPLIED, Al! accessories Bundle covers a 2 ALij SPECIAL SPECIAL SAVEWAY WITH EASY available approx. bundle Reg. 56.35 TO 88 eq.
