iSpedai Train Takes 4704-11 Meinhers
n Tour Of Niagara Peninsula
A nine -ear sgcgal train Cweieci
470 Duron County 4-H Club mem-
bers and leaders to the Niagara
Peninula on their a' anal tour last
week. Leaving Goderich a 6. a.m.,
the train 'pickedup enthusiastic
groups of passengers at Cl mean,
$oaforth and Mitchell. After a
tour in which the club members
saw Queenston Heights, the On-
tario Hydro works and Fort George,
they returned home before mid-
night.
Arrangements for the tour were
made by G. W. Mon'tgoariery, agri-
cultural representative; Arthur
Bolton, assistant agricultural re-
presentative, and railway officials.
It was no mean job keeping
track: of 470 young people, but
there were no really serious casual-
ties, though the train did meet
up with a skunk somewhere in
Goderich Township. And on the
return trip, the train came to , a
sudden stop after hitting a horse
near ,Seaforth.
Arriving in St. Catharines at
10 a.m., the group changed to 13
buses which were used to trans-
port the members and leaders on
their tour in the Niagara area.
Following an hour's drive in the
St. Catharines area, the group ar-
rived at Queenston Heights Park,
where a picnic lunoh was enjoyed
by all in the spacious grounds.
During the luncheon hour the 4 --HH
members had the opportunity of
viewing Brock's Monument and
many availed themselves of the
opportunity of climbing up the
tower inside the monument.
The :Laura Second Monument,
standing upon the Heights of
Queenston, was also drawn to the
members' attention. Also from
Queenston Heights, the 4H Club
memibers were aible to see the won-
derfekl. view of the surrounding
area, including the Niagara River
winding its 'way through the
Niagara, fruit belt to Lake Ontario.
Following lunch, the party was
split int6 two groups and _while
one group visited the Ontario
Hydro's floral clock and toured the
Sir Adam Beck -Niagara Generat-
ing Station No. 1, the other group
visited Fort George. At Fort
George, W. Pyre, superintendent,
,welcomed both groups and person-
ally guided the 4H members
through the many historic build-
ings located in the fort. Possibly
the highlight of the tour would
be the well planned and organized
visit. to the Sir Adam Beck Niagara
Generating Station.
Hydro's Floral Clock, where ap-
proximately 24,000 colorful plants
make up the design of the clock
face covering an area of 1,100
square feet, was particularly in-
triguing to the 4-11 members.
Following these visits, both
groups drove by bus through the
scenict Niagara Parks' -Route to
1 gaga 'for go .h
-the young people had the oppof-
magnificence of the American and
Canadian Falls.
Following a barbecue chicken
dinner at the Rapids Hotel, the
party returned to their train,
which had now caught up to the
group in Niagara Falls. Leaving
Niagara Falls at 6.45 p.m., the
tired but happy 4-H Club members
returned to Huron County before
midnight.
