Queen ,Elizabeth and Prince Philip are
back home after discharging a most important
office in the British Conituonwealth of Nations
—their tour of Canada. Now,. come evalu-
ations of the tour' and opinions re same.
tt is interesting to note fhe opinion of
Dr. -Wilder Penfield, world -famed Canadian
neuro -surgeon as expressed before the British
Medical Association in Edinburgh. In part,
he said; "Much nonsense has been noised
abroad ,about the royal tour, in Canada. It
Comes from ,little folk who 'like to sneer at

,,n
the husks of the earn, instead of the golden
grains of ,truth. Good wheat will always have
its chaff and iron mines their dust and dirt
but wise. men laugh and brush such things
aside, knowing that this is the price we pay
for freedom."
Among derogatory temarks are Those 're,
expenses which the tour involved.' Tt i there-
fore, interesting to point out figures. published
by officials .in Chicago, They estimate that
the recent royal visit cost that ,•cit'y $250,000
—hut brought in additional revenue amounting
to $5,000,000. So often critical remarks are
ln`atle- without complete knowledge.
STEPS , UP APPLE SALES
One answer to the marketing problems
o£ (.'anada's booming apple; iinlustry is to' pep
up the, sale of apple jiliee.
• The Economies Division, Cali•adian .ne-
partmenT, of Agrieult tire, reports that %twa
years ago Canadians consnmed. the equivaleiit
of 54 pounds of fruit and vegetables per person.
in the form of eatined and et neentrated juices.
But less than 15 per eent of this fruit WAS
apples. - Grange ;ji'ilee led the sales parade.
Grapefruit rivaled apples ,and tomatoes ,uitf;,,
sold them,
Again last year, Canadians eonsunced
about 'four pounds of apple jniee per person,
.ora _total .cd' ;67.2 million founds. 'Phis ae-
counted for nearly. two and a half million
bushels--�alanit 13 per eent of the total ernp
of 16.7 million hnslcels,
A reeent study by the Econancies 7,iv.isio't
of ennsume} preferences for apples in :Montreal,
Que., showed that almost half '•of • the inter-
viewed families; had. not bought any during
-the month prO,cecring, the interviews.
Nevertheless, there was a small group of
families who. used, a lot of apple j>i'ice. - Six
per cent said they served it almost .every day
and 13 per eent said they served it `t\vo. or
three times a week.
.Only 15 Per centt, of the interviewed- fain-
il ies expressed an.. interest in vitamittized ap-
-,, `plc juice. Uowever, this 15 'per cent fpureliased
45 per cent of the juiee reported for the month
preeeding the interviews. They bbught abbot

TEENAGERS AND CAR DRIVING
Right about now is_ the open Season for

on him in the final lap of si.ininier' holiday
just before school opens. Their' sense of titic,1-
l.iness tells them that 'lt.'s "now or never". to
get a "Yes" from , dad with "never," of
course, meaning about a year from now when
the teenager will be a bit older; and more
sensible.
Those parents who postpone the •"ves"
. and who are prone to eritieize driving habits
of the younger generation-" should keep an
,est.abiisherl .fact. in mind. Parents WV set a
good example of earhfill driving ati'c1 respeet

45 Years Ago
`Maify persons visited Samuel
Bisset's dairy farm at Saltford to
see a real live white robin. The
bird looked to all appearances like
any other robin with the 'familiar
red breast of its species, but the
wings were perfectly white.
John Garrod, fprmerly employ' -
ed by W. E. Kelly as an automobile
repair man, opened his own garage
on South street, in the building
formerly• occupied by Gundry Bros.
as a livery.
in pursuance of his insurance
duties, W. R. Robertson, who was
over 80' years of 'age, had occasion
to visit, the Transit elevator. OOe
of the men he wished to see was
working at an altitude of '45 feet
and the only way to reach'him
was by means* of a rope attached
to a winch. Nothing daunted, Mr,
Robertson took his place in the
noose and was hoisted up to the
platform. The boys at the elevator'
thought it was as fine a display of
grit as they had seen in many a
day. • '
e A Goderich man,' charged with
keeping a vicious dog, was ordered
to destroy the animal. The dog.
bit a neighbor, and then bit Chief
Postelethwaite when he was serv-
ing the summons.
25 Years Ago.
A barn on the farm of Wilfred
Stevenson, • on the B1ue, Water
Highway north of Port Albert, was
destroyed by fire during an elec-
trical stgrfn.„ This was the third
time in 20 years that a barn on
this farm had burned,
Several members of the Gode-
rich )oard of Trade complained
that tourists were by-passing the
town' because it was "dry.”
Matthew Shackleton, of R.R. ' 1,
Dungannon, had a sow of which
he was very proud. She delivered
when `their children are ei'entually in the
dr'iver's seat.'.
Parents who. nervously weave in and out
of traffic and who fail. to observe traffic, laws
can expect their children to do the same., Be-
fore eonclerf )ging' 'the teenagers - for_careless
c1' iving, it is well 'for parents to turn the
mirror on theinselves. Perhaps' their driving
routine isn't conducive to impressing proper
driving. habits on their youngsters.
Canada's young • people are tomorrow's
eitizens. It is• the duty of every parent 'to
set a good driving pattern fort, the children.
, ,'A.nd proper driving habits do not result frons
• unjust criticism or depriving young people, of
the opportunity to' properly handle an auto-
mobile, Patience, • kindness and adequate
supervision create lasting impressions.

In these... oder i ,days of scienti-
fic enlightenment, photography has
developed to.•the point where it is
recognized as an art in itself.
This is why a group of Goderich
Painters banded. together some
eight years ago, to preserve and
promote Art, in the form of paint-
ings. This has come about much.
in the same manner that "little
theatres" have come in the wake of
motion pictures, and for much the
same reasons.
Last week -end, the Goderich Art
Club held its annual exhibit at
the old collegiate. Although there
were' over '70 excellent canvasses
on 'display, , the group was not able_
to attract a large crowd. ' '

the. following contributors' ' can-
vasses: Watercolors by Miss Mary
Howell; •oils aril watercolors by
Mrs. Willard Legg; pencil and pas:
tels by Mrs. M. Harper (thesewere"'
