It is not a casual courtesy, to "drop over and see us some tine," but a definite invitation. The week chosen is "made-to-order" for the visit, embra- cing as it does, Canada's "Dominion Day" and Unit- ed States, "Independence Day." The plan is being carried in practically all Ontario Weekly Newspap- ers, and their combined circulation in the United States, plus the many who will follow the suggestion printed below and mail papers to American friends, will ensure visitors that they will meet old friends in their old hone towns on the week specified. The plan is by no means an "Old Home Week," and no entertainment is planned. It is designed by Canadians to offset rumors prevalent in the United. States regarding conditions in a Canada at war. HON. MITCHEL F. HEPBURN Welcome to Ontario The war has made no difference to American travel in Ontario. Entry to and exit from this premier province of the Dominion of Canada is as free as in peacetime. No passports are required of United States citizens. The simplest form of indentification suffices for Border -crossing purposes.. For proof of this—if proof be thought necessary—one need but consult any of the thousands upon thousands of delighted travellers who were our guests during 1940. Let none of the "scare rumors" of which you may have heard last season interfere with plans for future holidaying. To Ontario, with its 400,000 square miles of lakes, woods streams, scenic playgrounds and busy cities, its wonderful fishing and hunting, its unsurpassed Canadian highways system, its complete freedom from bridge tolls. amusement taxes, meals taxes, and local sales taxes, and its primary desire to be a good host to friendly, understanding neighbors, we cordially invite you again this year.. A far larger and more satisfying return on your .American dollar than any mere prem- ium—substantial as that premium may be—awaits your visit here. Come and see for yourselves what Ontario has to offer in vacation pleasure. I know you will not be disappointed. M. F. HEPBURN, Premier, Province of Ontario This year, July 4th falls on a Friday and provides an excellent opportunity for a real weekend. All that poppycock about food and gasoline rationing, compulsory military service and the seizure of pers- onal firearms and fishing tackle is pure undiluted bunk. You never were as free in your life as you will be on your next visit here. There will be a wel- come on the mat, or a light in the window, depend- ing on the hour of your arrival. Wind up the gas buggy on that weekend and be here; expect to meet old friends and enjoy yourself. In the centre of this page, Hon M. F. Hepburn, our premier, extends his invitation to American vis- itors, and adds his assurance' that their visit will be as pleasant and trouble free as Canadian authoritie$ can make it. We, of Clinton, add our invitation to our Premier's. As citizens of Canada, we know con- ditions for what they are, and can back our Prem- ier's statement to the limit. COOK'S LUNCH W. M.
