'relaxation, flexibility and
muscle strengthening.
The program would be
focused towards those

BY
MARY CHESSELL
Eighty-two members of
the Jefferson family
gathered in the Con- •
servation Park at Clinton
on Sunday for a reunion.
The Last reunion was held
in 1967 at the home of
Gordon and Eva, Laing of.
Cromarty.
The weather was
perfect, and the children
had a great time in the
Bar -b -q
chicken!
Food specialists at the.
Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture 'and , Food
remind outdoor chefs -that
fresh Ontario chicken is a
delicious choice for
summer barbecues. For
good flavor, use basting
sauces only during the
last 10 to 15 minutes of
cooking, Sauces tend to
speed up browning and
may scorch if put on too
early in the cooking time.

vantage of being the only
one with 'great
grandchildren, and all
five of them were there.
There was plenty of
food left front the noon
meal, and everyone was
having such a good time
that even the elderly
stayed for supper too.
cent of all back pain is
attributed to a com-
bination of musc'ular-
skeletal deficiencies and
stress. Only a small
percentage is actually
caused"'- : by disc
.pathologies.
In order to offer the
back exercise program, a
need by the public for
such a program must
first be established.
Industrial workers,
secretaries, house,,wives,
tradesmen and others
can ' benefit from an
exercise .program of this
kind.
A back exercise
program could be offered
in the fall session at the
Vanastra Recreation
Centre if enough public
interest is shown.
Immediate response is
needed in order to
prepare the program for
the fall session.
If you are interested or
need more information,

Recreation Centre at 482-

Mr. Grossman also
reported that Ontario's
provincial parks have
recorded a six per 'cent
increase in the number of
`camper nights" to the
end of June "compared
with 1978.
Generally, the feeling
in the tourist industry is
that • the shortage - of
gasoline in the U.S. has
benefitted Ontario, Mr.
Grossman said.
''The number of U.S.
visitors to Ontario is up
only slightly but the in-
crease in domestic travel
in Ontario has more than
compensated for this."
Onta-rio residents
travelling` to the U.S.
decreased 3.7 per cent
during ' the first five
months of the year, he
said. There has also been
a noticeable increase in
the number of visitors to
Ontario from Quebec.
Mr. Grossman said the
tourism forecast for the
remainder -Of the year
appears excellent, based
on increases in resident,

Most areas in Ontario
are reporting increases in
tourists this year, Ontario
Minister of Industry and
Tourism, Larry
Grossman, said this
week.
Mr. Grossman said
U.S. visitors to Ontario
increased by two per cent
from last year during the
first five months -of 1979.
This means Ontario is
receiving 65 per cent of
all U.S. visitors coming to
Canada --up three per-
centage points from the
sane period -in 1978.
The number of visitors
from other countries to
the province has' in-
creased' dramatically by
25 per cent compared
with the first five months
of last year, surpassing
,the 16 per cent increase
recorded between 1977
and 1978.
Most • of Ontario's
tourist attractions reflect
this increase with visitors
to ,such places as the
Science Centre up by 15
per cent, to Ontario Place
up by eight per cent, to
the Polar Bear Express
up by 36 per cent and to
Old Ford Henry .and
Upper Canada Village up
by 1.5 per cent. -
About 90 per cent of the
resorts in Ontario which
were contacted, report
similar or increased
business from last year
and are• generally op.-
tirnistic about the
remainder of the tourist •
season, Mr. Grossman
said.
