' CHALLENGE
.Dean Sinclair Laird of MacDonald
College has agreed to buck up his re-
cent statement to the,press that per-
sonsdesiring can make a comprehen-
sive tour across Canada and bads for
no more than $330 by chartering a
special trainfor the purpose of ac-
commodating all those who may be in-
clined to accept this challenge. He
avers that the trip, which provides
for stop -overs at all points of inter-
est between Toronto and victoria,
westbound via the Okanagan Lake
and eastbound by the main line, in-
cluding rail -and water transportation,
meals, accommodation and all other
expenses can be made as comprehen-
sive as could possibly be desired, and

terra as organizer of teachers' tones.
