At the end of the week we managed to work in one
of those hurried holidays Where one attempts to do as
much„in three days as would normally take two weeks.'
It isn't a good idea, but like most folks, we do the best we
can in time we have, Though seven hundred miles of
driving in that short space doesn't allow nearly enough
time to properly enjoy the beauties of the trip, it does
fill one's mind with the magnificent panorama which even
one small corner of our province can provide,
'We have often contended that people in this part of
Ontario .are too prone to run to the States, or out West
or to some other remote place, in ignorance of the com-
plete enjoyment which is comparatively close by.

situated a few miles north of the town of Lindsay on
the Trent Valley canal system. Though we have lived in
this province for some time, we were not aware that the
Trent Canal still operates six days a week and that there
is a great deal of traffic throughout its length, from
Georgian Bay to Lake Ontario.

is almost unlimited, and though we quite realize that other

'THE DRIVER NEEDS PROTECTION TOO
Some months ago the column called attention to the
need for legislation which would require vehicles stopped
travelling at very low rates of speed to show some dis-
tinctive warning light which would indicate to oncoming
drivers that an extra hazard exists. Driving south of
Harriston on Sunday evening we were made painfully
aware of another such hazard for motorists, which has
crept into the picture, in the form of the motorized bicycle
