(By BTNJAMIN BEVLILIDGE) There aren't very many stay- at-home people triese days. Al- most every family has a car, and Men have stopped waiting for ships to come in before they take that dreamed of trip to some for- eign land. Those who can take their vacations in the winter are basking it out right now in Flor- ida and the Caribbeans, and the rest of us are wistfully examining travel circulars of places to go to this summer, This is the first time for quite a while that there has been no war to keep people from going abroad, and if the airlines, - the shipping companies, the rail and bus lines, and innumerable cham- bers of commerce have theirway` this .' will be the biggest tourist yearsince the end of World War. This is indeed a romantic age But people are not content to take their, travel in books and the movies. They want to see those places themselves. It is doubtful if many young bloods will sign on a Norwegian whaler bound for South Georgia, just because they read R. B. Robertson's "Of Whales. and Men". Neither will Col. FaW- cett's story, of life along the Aria- son lead many people . to the jungles of South America. But the film, "Roman Holiday", has certainly fired the imaginations of thousands of people who are mak- ing Italy their destination this year. And the castles in "Knights of the. Roundtable" have turned many minds toward the British Isles. Not the 'least important is the inspiration which "Saskatchewan" and "Rose Marie" created among travellers who are taking their holidays in the Rocky Mountains and those who are going to Al- berta and Saskatchewan to help them celebrate their 75th anni- versaries, We can hope, too, that people from both sides of the border we know best` will look to resorts in Canada before taking off for Eur- ope. It is likely that more people than ever will drive up the Alaska highway, and they will be treated as well as any,, for that is a mag- nificent country. For those who want. Old World grace and charm —but lack the cash—there is no better province than old Quebec, withits second largest French- speaking city in the world. Some will visit the Stampede in Cal- gary. Others will try their hand •at tuna fishing in Nova Scotia, or perhaps salmoa fishing in New Brunswick or- in the. Fiin Fion district of Manitoba. Everyone is going somewhere, even if it is just to visit relatives in the country. Curious travellers with cameras will bewell received in Britain. Some of the old landmarks are crumbling, but it is still an en- chanted land, and the flow of Am- erican visitors increases by 24,000 every year. In the land of the heather, the ninth annual Edin- burgh Festival of Music and Drama will be held, from August 21 to September 10. Kabuki danc- ers from Tokyo will make . their first European appearance there. Six great symphony orchestras; will participate. There will be a special Matisse memorial exhibi- tion. A film festival will run con- currently. At the Memorial Theatre in Stratford -on -Avon (we find our- selves these days saying: "the English one") Sir Laurence Olivier and. Lady Olivier (Vivien Leigh) will head the company. Sir- John', Gielgud will direct. That may be the reason why none of these peo- ple could have -accepted an invita- tion to play at the festival in the Canadian Stratford this summer. ;, 5 5. There is more to see in London than the Beefeaters and the tower of London. People who find Ma- dame Tussaud's wax museum am- using will be less impressed by a new toy museum which has just been added to the city's many tourist exhibits. Thereare more than 3,000 samples of toys in the museum, representing all countries. andall ages. In Bath, Sir Thomas Beecham will conduct the works of 18th Century composers. Handel and Haydn, for two weeks in May. Yehildi Menuhin will play his violin in this old Roman resort, Over on the continent, Germany is readying for a good tourist trade. And a wonderful opportun- ity there is this year for Canadians and Americans tovisit their own NATO sons in Dusseldorf . and Munich and Frankfurt. Who would have thought it, ten years : ago, that the famous Park Hotel in Dusseldorf would grow up out of the ruins to accommodate visitors from this continent with clean beds and 'television!. • 5 Someone has said. that Spain discovered America, and now Am- erica has discovered Spain. That country, on the verge of returning to the monarchy and in the friendliest moodit has been for years, is expecting great numbers of people to- visit its vineyards and to watch its bullfights. * * 5 A curious thing about it all is that Canadians will be seen almost everywhere in Europe, arid not just travelling. Some will be skat- ing in Norway. Sonia will be singing in Milan and Bayreuth. And some will be in Paris study- ing art under fellowships recom- mended by the Massey Commis- sion. Therapy treatment is very important to the crippled child. To nfure that all of this province's crippled children receive the treatment they require, the Ontario. Society for Crippled Children in association with more than 300 service clubs throughout the province are conducting their annual Easter Seal Campaign, which last .until April 10 has an objective of $550,000. In Clanton donations may be made to John Sutter, Clinton, chairman of the local Clinton Lions Club campaign.

ROYAL T BANK Day, PAGE THREE South Huron LOL Year's Officers Un The annual county meeting of the South Huron LOL held on Wednesday, March 2, in -the local lodge room here, was one of the best held in many years. Every lodge in the county was well rep- resented. In the absence of the County Master, D. L. Stephenson, who is spending the winter in Florida, Joseph Caldwell of Greenway Lodge, Grand. Bend, took charge. The annual reports of each lodge showed a substantial .increase, both in finances and in member- ship. Honoured guests were called. before the altar, given grand hon- ours and conducted to a seat on the dais. They were " Rev. T. J. White, Londesboro; Worshipful Bro.

Wingham Advance Times . ft carry out a year-round voiuntary program of helping others, These men are the members of the service clubs that are the foundation of the Ontario Society for Crippled Children. Every year they conduct the Easter Seal Campaign which finances the ser- vices provided for the more than 9,000 handicapped youngsters — surgery, therapy, appliances, spec- ial schooling and training, summer camp vacations and so on. The revenues front their Easter Seal Campaigns are divided equally with the Society, one-half retain- ed for local needs in the individual club's area, the rest used by the Society for the services it provides for the club's beneficiaries, or for children not aided directly by a club. In Clinton, the Lions Club und- ertakes quite a program. Its mem- bers accept many responsibilities. A typical example might be as follows: As the liaison link between local health authorities, the club as- sumes a direct duty in seeing that every handicapped child is brought to the attention of the, health of- ficials and the Society. The club assumes the responsibility for treatment provided locally, plus provision of appliances such as braces or splints. If a child needs special treatment, at a distant hospital, the club's transport group arrange to see that the youngster gets to that hospital. 0 • J.
