Stoff photo Two groups Enjoy trips to Yukon Mrs. David Park reports an excellent trip to the Northwest Territories and the Yukon, with Horizon Tours, flying to Edmonton, on to Yellowknife, Inuvik, and Tuk-toyak-tuk an Inuit (Eskimo) village on the Beaufort Seas at the the mouth of the Mackenzie River. The tour travelled the new Dempster Highway by bus from Inuvik down to Dawson City across miles of tundra, meeting very, very few other travellers. At Dawson City, which Mrs. Park says was a highlight of the trip, they had several walking tours and a bus tour out into the country where they "panned for gold." The group enjoyed a cruise on the Yukon River, culminating in a delicious freshly caught salmon barbecue dinner. They also attended the Revue in the refurbished "Palace Grand Theatre". Their bus took them via the Klondyke High- way to Whitehorse and on down to Skagway, Alsaka. The scenery was itorgeous as the highwaywoundaround Mountains and lakes and . through_ tunnels, etc. They also enjoyed their cruise down. to Vancouver on the Cunard Princess and their tour of Vancouver before being flown back to Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. C.G. Lewis, RR 2, Denfield have also returned from a trip to the Yukon and Alaska, travelling with Appin Tours and a Western Company, Magestic, flying to Edmonton where they picked up their very com- petent Magestic hostess and guide.

By bus they travelled up to Fairbanks for a further 2 days where they saw the oil across the Yukon river and where they had a 20 mile cruise up the river to visit a trapper at his cabin home. On the way to Fairbanks they saw gigantic. icebergs on the river which were the purest white they had ever seen. Still travelling by bus they drove to Tok, near the border of the Yukon, for overnight and on to Dawson City, where their activities were the same as those of Mrs. Park. Their tour was also bussed from Dawson to Whitehorse through the beautiful far north. Unfortunately through no fault of either tour company, they found the steamship + "Odessa," on which they were to cruise to Vancouver, had developed an engine breakdown on the last trip, so the group was flown to Vancouver where they lived on the, O4essa for United Church At Lucan United Church, Sunday morning, Rev. Keith Brown continued the series on the Beatitudes, based on Matt. 5:7, explaining the much deeper meaning of "Mercy". It is not just feeling pity for those in need of help but to have the ability to "get inside his head" as it were, to see just what he sees and feels, to be able to identify with another human being in need. God identified with man when He came into this world as Jesus, in earthly body, to see and feel as we do. The arangement of flowers in the sanctuary was from the funeral of the late Ernie Ferguson and the pot of mums was placed in loving memory of Allan and Dorie Ready by his parents Jack and Sue Ready. The prayers and sympathy of the congregation are extended to their loved ones. J. Alex Young and Robert Murray welcomed members and friends to the service.

Those patches of quackgrass are rob- bing you of your yield. Plus they make combining very difficult. Worst of all, when you plow the quackgrass under... it's just waiting to reappear next spring. This fall, try something different. Use Roundup® ... and get a long-term control program for quackgrass. It's sure and easy. After your crop comes off, let quackgrass regrow the proper stage and spray with Roundup. Wait five days and then continue normal fail plowing. (You can treat even atter a mild frost if quackgrass is actively growing.) If harvest is late and you don't get good regrowth this fall ...don't plow. Leave the quackgrass alone so you can treat it next spring before planting. When used in conjuction with your nor- mal seedling weed control program, you can control quackgrass for up to three years. So this fall Will the war against quack - grass. Forellectitle control of quackgrass ...nothing works like Roundup. Monsanto Nothing works like Roundup. ALWAYS RE AD AND 1 01.1 OW 1 E 1.
