They were taken in around the cement works which has been one of the Western Ontario suppliers of cement for years. Even drove down around the rock formations were the rocks have been taken out and crushed into cement, bagged and shipped all over Western Ontario maybe farther. Many sturdy cement silos — WATCH FOR SUMMERFEST 78 and barn walls stand in evidence over the country side of the strength of cement. The buses then journeyed on towards the lake formed by conservation authorities by the name of Wildwood. They wouldn’t let the busses drive around through the park so we went on to the park in Stratford near the theatre where tables had been reserved and cooks had gone ahead to supply some 80-90 hungry seniors with sandwiches and delicious hamburgers, coffee and cold drinks by a group of faithful Lions. We were allowed to walk around the park and enjoy it until 3.30 when we loaded up and returned to Exeter, arriving home around 4.30 p.m. Everyone enjoyed the trip and we wish to Lions Club especially the hostesses Mr. & Dinney on one bus and Mr. & Mrs. Bev Morgan on the other, as well as all the members of the Lions Club Cancer can be beaten V ■ .

Geography tour Dave McClure has return­ ed from a tour arranged for Geography teachers of Southern Ontario. The trip began June 23 and ended July 1. June 23 the party flew from Toronto to Winnipeg, then proceeded by bus to Pine Falls, 65 miles north, site of the Abitibi Paper Mill. Saturday they visited the mill, and did a communi­ ty study of Pine Falls, some going to the hospital, some to the mill, some studying housing. Mr. McClure with two others made a study of the hospital. There are Indian reservations nearby, and most of the patients are In­ dian. There were young children suffering from pulmonary and digestive diseases. There are depres- sion and alcoholism problems, and a high diabetes rate. Leaving Pine Falls the next day, the group proceed­ ed southward to Grand Beach on Lake Winnipeg where there are several miles of smooth sandy beach, then on to Lower Fort Garry on the Red River, a Hudson Bay Post at the time of Governor Simp­ son. Monday, June 26, they visited a wheat farm at St. Agathe, near the area where a tornado wreaked havoc not long ago. The 1800 acre farmer produces wheat, hay, barley, oats, alfalfa and, raises cattle in feed lot' operations. He has huge bins for storing and drying grain for himself and for his neighbours. Returning to Winnipeg, they interviewed members of the Canadian Wheat Board, discussing the problems of selling and transporting to foreign markets. Much grain is presently being shipped to Vancouver for China and Japan and there is not suf­ ficient storage space there. Meanwhile elevators at Thunder Bay are only half full, with not enough railway cars to facilitate movement. After lunch in the Manitoba legislature they sat through a session of parliament. The speaker of the house is Mrs. McClure’s cousin. Three cabinet ministers, Ministers of Agriculture, of Education and of Industry, talked with the teachers. One came from the area where Nelson Lamport had farmed and knew the Lam- ports. That evening the Winnipeg Tribune arranged a Red River cruise on the Lady Winnipeg, with a meal serv­ ed while they were on board. Tuesday they toured the Canadian Forces Base at Winnipeg, and went f -oft in a huge transport plane. Next they flew to Thunder Bay where they were guests of Lakehead University. The Finlandia Club provided a supper of Finnish food and a programme of Finnish sing­ ing and dancing. Those who wished used the sauna. There are 10,000 people of Finnish origin in Thunder Bay. the largest settlement of Finnish people in the world outside of Finland. Wednesday. June 28 of­ ficials of the Great Lakes Paper Company discussed environmental problems. Sheets of thick pulpy material are shipped to mills in Southern Ontario where fine paper is made. Newsprint is shipped to the United States, some as far south as Texas. In the afternoon they visited Northern Wood Preserves where hydro and telephone poles and railroad ties are cut. Enormous creosote ovens are used to preserve the wood. Any type of log unfit for poles is re­ jected by computer testing and cutup into2 by 4’s. Thursday morning the group arose early to make an 80 mile journey north to Camp 234 where they could study cutting operations of the Great Lakes Paper Com­ pany. Officials explained how the work is done, the species of tree preferred, and the type of soil best for three growth. A meal was served in the lumber camp cafeteria. The workers are obviously well fed. There were five kinds of meat on the menu, and as many vegetables. There is a Lakehead University Forestry Study Camp in the area.
