Harriston, Ontario A�f 338-2017 tonverstort "Boy, ' wan big countree" was my bilingual thought as I winged across the Great lakes, over the wide Lake-andcock ter- rain of Northwestern Ontario, and then high above the prairies, as I headed for the weekly news- paper convention in Saskatoon. That's about the essence of Canada. It's big, so beautiful, and so varied that it's almost frightening. Perhaps only a well -traveled Russian could feel the sense of awe that I felt, after a -brief look at just a small pi;.•ce of this fantastic land of ours. In seven days I covered about 40,000 miles by almost every mode of transportation except ox - train, and I saw only the most veritable nook, the smallest cranny of this vast, fascinating country. It's quite an age. At 6:30 on one of those wickedly hot days for which the past'summer has been notorious, I'm kissing my tearful wife goodbye. She was crying be- cause we were going to be separated for a whole week, and because I might fall among evil companions, which I did. At about 11:30 the same morn- ing, with a couple of time changes thrown in, I'm walking into the Bessborough Hotel, some 1,500 miles away on a lovely, cool, Sep- temberish day; A week later, after a reunion (we were almost shy with each other) in a Toronto hotel, we are pounding up the three -lane high- way in my old road -schooner, headed for Monne,; The hours between the, :r- tureend the hoirrieconling wed to flash by, and yet I felt that I'd been away for a m0110, " d':: en so much and covered" so. Much ground, • not to mention phi' and water. I had eaten everything f pzn those awful, frozen airline meals, where you almost rupture' 1' - self trying to gek the piasf ie top off the pat of butti r, to4hautO•e1i- sine, fowl suffed with wild rice, to fresh pickerel fillets straight' out of the frying pan at a- shore din- ner. I'd heard some good spbes. John Diefenbaker, on ' home ground, with no need to paiit '+ , is unbeata,ble as an entertainer'O-t- to Lang, also in his homepro- vince, gave me some assurance that at least one of our federal ministries is in cool handl'. And most amazing of all was the high official from the postal service, standing up there and trying to tell weekly editors that we have a good postal service, and will have a great one. It's a wonder he wasn't stoned to death. But his homework had been done, and his footwork was excellent. He al- most convinced me. Essence Of his message was to getthat pos- tal code on your mail. When it comes to holding a con- vention, those' Saskatchewan weekly editors don't have to play second fiddle to anyone. This con- vention was well organized, Var- ied and colorful.

Another exceptionally interest- ing evening included a visit to Pionera. If you are ever in Saska- toon, don't miss it. There is a complete reconstruction of a pioneer village, containing everything from a barber -shop to a bank. Along with' this goes a huge exhibition of old machinery, used in the early days, and a dis- play of handsome old automo- biles that would make an antique car buff burst into tears of joy. Another colorful bit was s the piping in of the colors at one of the banquets, and their formal presentation to the new Presi- dent, Ernie Neufeld of Weyburn, Sask. And as an added fillip,, there was a post -convention fishing trip into Northern Saskatchewan, one of the greatest fishing areas of the world. More about that later. For me, the best part of the convention was meeting old friends and making new ones. To the old ones, I am here to testify that you never looked better. To the new ones, I can only say there are some mighty nice people in this country, and you are among them. On thing that warmed my heart was the number of families in which the children are involved in their parents' newspapers. In this age, most young people, for some reason, spurn the occu- pation of their parents, and want to strike out on their own. This is understandable. But the number f second, and even third-gener- ion people sticking with the usiness shows that running a weekly newspaper still holds a lot of attraction for young, bright people. Some of them are -the Derksens of Estevan, the Cado- gans of New Brunswick, the Dills of Milton, the McConnells of Til- bury. There are many others. On the other side of the coin, of course, weekly editors and their wives are just like other people. So a of their offspring disturb the deeply. I must have a national reputation as an expert on "rotten kids," because I. had both a S*ben, t' badly out of shape by mothers and fathers - who would corner me and tell ,me, al- most in tears, of the latest "ter- rible" things their youngsters were up to. . After my own experience in raising kids, nothing can even raise. one of my eyebrows, but Ioft hope I brought some comfort to the afflicted. Don't worry, chaps. Your kids will turn out•,aall right, or all wrong, or somewhere in the middle, like most of us, and there's not a darn thing you can do about it, except to bite off the umbilical cord. A good convention. And next year it's off to Halifax and into the sea food. Already I can feel the juices dripping down my chin. 11. KITCHEN, Fortress of Loulsbourg, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, ;*+Alla , ,; (Canadian'Government Office of Touristri Louisbourg stands by Sheila McCook Down to the ancient -style hinges on the door, the hand- hewn beams on the ceilings and the perfectly reproduced table- ware, the Fortress of Louisbourg in Nova Scotia is an attempt to tell North Americans as accur- ately as possible about one of the more extravagant aspects of their past. The fortress; constructed over the early part of the 18th century was a monument to a French king's overreaching pride in empire and to military planners' overconfidence about their abi- lity to keep the enemy at bay' by geographical barrier and gar- gantuan fortifications: No sooner had construction been completed on a windswept peninsula of what is now Cape Breton Island, than the fortress fell to an invasion of New Englanders. The French . plan- ners had caluclated that the fortress was impregnable by sea ; they. hadn't foreseen-- than an attack 'could come via the -seem- ingly -impassable marsh and for- est. The ' 1748 treaty of Aix-la- Chapelle returned Louisbourg to France but 10 years later it fell again, this time to the British. In the two centuries that followed, the fortress site fell yet again — to demolition decay and quarrying. Now Louisbourg is once more open to invasion, but this time, the fortress is for the most part a reconstruction and the invaders are friendly tourists. There 'was considerable infor- mation on the original fortress to facilitate plans to reconstruct a fifth of the original site. The main structure is the bar- racks of the King's Bastion, once thought to be the largest building of its time in North America. Hospital offers music to deliver babies by Mozart's music is being used in the women's clinic of Halmstad Hospital in Sweden to help expectant mothers through natural childbirth: For months prior to de- livery, they practice relax- ation exercises to a recording of a Mozart C -Major piano concerto. As soon as the con- tractions start, the music is turned on. . POLAND SAID NO Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler on Aug. 31, 1939, promised peace to Poland if it would accept 16 conditions. Poland rejected Hitler's terms. COMBINES: Int. 503 with cab & 4 -row 30" corn head Int. 403 with cab 8 4 -row 30"corn head TRACTORS: Oliver 1900 - 10I h. p. Oliver 1850 - 93 h.p.

The chapel to the left of the main entrance was burned in October, 1974, but with the exception of some ornamental' work, has now largely been re- stored.. Residences, fortress walls and 'service buildings like the ice house have been rebuilt on their original sites, reproduced as they were on the eve of the 1745 invasion. One of the most extensive excavation and archaeological undertakings ever performed in North America,this project which started in the early 1960s and still continues has been aided by the wealth of information left behind. Artifacts found at the site total about two, million. Dozens of plans have survived time; Louis- bourg' archives include over 500 �ri3aps, pl$irs aiic#'viei!irs, and'over half a million'pages of documents and correspondence, all shedding light on the town's appearance and its inhabitants' way of life. Open from May 15 to October 15 the fortress comes to life in ways that may surprise tourists. See a young man in tattered French military uniform, ask him what college he attends during the year, and he may snub you. He is more than a guide. He has . studied life of an actual soldier who lived at Louisbourg (such is the wealth of information from two centuries ago that many residents' lives are known in sur- prising detail) and has now taken on his name and character. He may stagger about like, a drunk; he may wolf down his food ungraciously or shout across the square in French to a colleague. He will also help tourists find e YOU ARE THE DETECTIVE "Please hurry! This is Philip Grant, 217 • Sycamore Drive. They're after me! I see him..•. ! " The agitated voice over the phone suddenly breaks off, you hear the sound of a shot, a thud, and then — silence! Fifteen minutes later you pull into, the driveway of the Grant home, and as you are climbing out of your car, Joe Beggs, the judge's valet hurries to you. "I'm glad you've come, sir," he ex- claims. "Judge Grant has been murdered!" Upon entering Judge Grant's study, you find him lying dead on the floor, blood from the bullet hole in his head staining the green wall-to-wall carpeting under the body. Beggs, who is hovering anxiously- in the background, speaks up: "I was just returning from a shopping expedition at the supermarket when I noticed that the French doors of Judge Grant's study were open, and there was a man with a stoc:ung mask over his head ar..i f%tce stan- ding in the doorway with a gun in his hand. I could hear Judge Grant's voice — then the man fired a shot and ran. I hurried to the door, saw Judge Grant lying on the floor with that bullet hole in his head, then I dashed out on the grounds looking for the killer. I've been searching ever since, but have found no trace of him." "Why didn't you im- mediately phone for help?" you ask. "I guess I wasn't thinking clearly. And besides, I could see immediately that Judge Grant was beyond help and I wanted to catch up with his murderer. I didn't even come into the study here after it happened." After 'a moment's reflec- tion, you walk over to the judge's desk, pick up the phone from its cradle, and dial headquarters, and to the man in charge there you say, "Judge Grant has been murdered. I'm holding his valet, Joe Beggs, until you arrive. Maybe I'll be able to get the truth out of him before you get here!" How do you know that Joe Beggs has been lying to you?
