That's about the. essence of Canada. It's so big, so beautiful, and so varied that it's almost frightening. Perhaps only a well -travelled Russian could feel the sense of awe that I felt, after a brief look at just a small piece 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 630 on one' of those wickedly hot days for which the past summer has been notbrious, I'm kissing my tearful wife goodbye. She was %prying because we were going to he separated for, a whole week, and because I might fall among .evil Companions, which 1, I did. At. about 11:30 the same mortimgr-with a couple, time changes thrown in, I'm walking into the Bessborough Hotel, some 1,500 miles away on a lovely, cool, Septemberish day. A week latee," after a reunion .(we Were almost shy with each pther) in a Toronto hotel, we are pounding up the three -lane highway in my old road - schooner, headed for home. The° hours between the departure and the homecoming seemed to flash by, and.yetI felt, that I'd been away for a' month, I'd 'seen so much and covered so much ground, not to mention air and water. 'had eaten everything from those awful, frozen airline meals, where you almost rupture yourself trying to ,get the plastic top :.off the pat of butter, to haute cuisine;-' fowl stuffed with wild rice, to„fresh pickerel fillets straight out of the frying pan at shore din, ner. I'd heard some good speeches. John D iefenbaker, on home ground, w,ith no need to politic, is unbeatable as . an entertainer. Otto Lang, also in his home province, gave me some assurance that at least one of our federal ministries is in cool hands. 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 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, a'nd his footwork was excellent. He alMost convinced *me. Essence of his message was to get that postal code on your mail. When it comes ti) holding a Convention, those Saskat- chewan weekly editors don't have to play second fiddle to, anyone. This convention as well organized, varied and colorful. It included a side trip to the battlefield of Batoche, where Gabriel Duniont's metis took on the regular army and gave it a ,bloody nose, during the., Riel • Rebellion. Another exceptionally ,in- tcrrestifig evening included. a Visit to Pionera. If you are ever in Saskatoon, don't miss it. There is a complete recon- struction 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 display of handsome old dutomobiles that would Make an antique car buff burst into tears ofjoy. Another colOrful bitwas the - piping in of the colors at one of the banquets, and their formal presentation to the new Presidgnt, Erie Neufeld, of Weyburnt Sask. And as an added fillip, there was a post -convention fishing trip into Northern Saskat- chew'an, one of .the greatest fishing areas of the world. More about that later, — For me, the best part -of t1e'. convention was meeting old friends and making new ones. To the old ones, 1 am here to testify that you never looked better. To the new ones, 1 can only say there are some mighty nice people in this country, and YOU are among them. One thing that warmed my heart was the number of families .in which file children are involved in their parents newspapers. In this age, most young people, for some reason, spurn the occupation of their parents; and want to strike out YO' on their own. This is un. derstandable. But 6.1e number of second, and even third , - generation people sticking with the business shows that running a weekly newspaper still holds - a lot of attraction for young, bright People, Some of them are the Derksens of Estevan, ithe Cadogans • of New Brun- . swick, the .11 of Milton, the 'McCon,nells,,,:i of Tilbury.
