Asset The National Parks of Canada re- present one great natural resource which cannot be depleted by use as long as reasonable care is taken to •'conserve the natural features of these superb scenic areas. This may seem a contradiction of ,theold adage that "you cannot have your cake and eat it" because the amenities of these popular playgrounds may be enjoyed again and again yet cannot be car- ried away, except in precious memory. Visitors to the parks may take away visions of s o� o n vcapped mountains hung with sparkling glacieus and Lacy avaterfalls, forestclad hills and flow - 'sr bedecked valleys, the 'smell of the pine in their nostrils, the feel of the paddle or the bridle rein in their ihands, and the song of the birds in their ears, They also carry away with them treasured, souvenirs for the snapshot album, the memory of pleas- ant evenings spent around the camp. fire, the physical benefits, derived from healthful recreation, and a sense ,aX stability and well-being which comes from a holiday spent in an at- mosphere of peace and serenity. But they will have left this great nation- al asset unimpaired, still rich in beauty and interest for the enjoyment of those who are to follow in anoth- er year or in another generation. The national parks system of Can- ada began in 1885 when the Domin- ion Governmentset aside a scenic area of ten square miles around the hot mineral springs at Banff, Alberta. In little over half a century this mod- est beginning has grown to 26 nation- al parks with a total area of over 29,000 square miles. These parks may be roughly divid- ed into five mainrou s. There are g P mountain playgrounds --Jasper, Ban- ff and Waterton Lakes in Alberta, and Kootenay, Yoho, Mt. Revelstoke, and Glacjic't in British Columbia— which contain alpine scenery of the highest order, There are the so-called "prairie parks"—Elk Island in Alberta, Prin- ce Albert in Saskatchewan, and Rid- ing Mountain in Manitoba' — which are prairie in name only, Unlike the g p general conception of prairies—flat, open spiaces — thes'e parks cover a wooded country the prairie "Park - WEDDINGS FREMLIN—FARQiJHAR A quiet wedding was solemnized at five o'clock on Saturday afternoon, July 19th, at St. Paul's Anglican church here, when Mavgaret E'ilen Farquhar, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wilifrecl Farquhar, became the bride of Harold Royce Fromiin, son of Mr, and Mrs. Harold Premlin both of Clinton. Rev. George W. Moore, the new rector of St._ Paul's officiated. The bride was becomingly` attired in a heaven blue crepe dress with white accessories, and carried a white prayer: -book.. Her only attend- ant. was Mrs. James Jackson, who wore black crepe. Mr. James Jackson acted' as groomsman. A. reception fol- lowed at the :hone of Mr. and Mrs:' Harold Frei=lin, with the table being centred' with the wedding cake. A mong the guests was the brides only sister, Miss Jean Farquhar of Hullett township, Mr. and Mrs. Fremlin will reside on North street, Clinton. land." They are well supplied with lakes and streams and are easily ac- cessible by good roads linked with tile main thoroughfares of Western Can- ada. Then there are the national parks in the Province of Ontario -Georg- ian Bay Islands, Point Pelee and St. Lawrence I:•slandis. Two of these parks are groups of islands, as the names imply, and the third, Point Pelee, is a noted bird sanctuary jutting out in- to Lake Erie and forming the most southerly tip of Canada's mainland. Further east are the Maritime playgrounds --Prince Edward Island ansi Cape Breton Highlands National Parks—the Latest additions to Can ada'.s national parks system. These parks can boast of long stretches of seashore among their holiday attrac- tions. Finally there are the animal parks --.Nemiskam in southern Alberta, containing the only herd of prong -- horned antelope in Canada, and Weed Buffalo Park, partly in Alberta and partly hi Northwest Territories, which is the largest wild life preser- ve on the North American continent. In addition, Canada has 9 Nation- al Historic Parks. All but one of these are situated in the eastern pro- vinces. Three are in the Province of Novia Scotia—Port Royal Habitation at Lower Granville in the Annapolis Basin, Fort Anne close by, and the Fortress of Louisbourg on Cape Bre- ton Island. Fort Beausejour is in the Province of New Brunswick, near Sackville, Fort Chambly and Fort Lennox are well known historic spots in the Province of Quebec. Fort Mal- den, at Amherstburg, and Fort`Wel- lington, at Prescott, are in the Prov- ince of Ontario, and Fort Prince of Wales, Canada's most northern fort- ress site, is near Churchill, Manitoba, These National Historic Parks 'com- memorate sites of historic import- ance in the early struggle for supre- macy on this continent, The wisdom of creating and main- taining a system of national play- grounds dedicated to the people of Canada for their benefit, education and enjoyment has never been mere apparent, and Canadians are using their national parks to a wider extent than ever before. Last year 966,826 of them visited the parks, and there are indications that this record num- ber may be exceeded during the 1941 tourist season. The parks ars also proving an attraction to tourists from the United States and the im- portance to Canada's war effort of at- tracting as many visitors as possible from that country is well recognised. Apart from the natural desire of Canadians to welcome their friendly neighbours from south of • the line, these visitors bring with them sub- stantial suras of currency much need- ed:, for Canada's purchases of war material in the United States, PAY THE PREMIUM Apart from the natural beauties that are an everpresent lure of at- traction to tourists in Canada, the premium on United States dollars is the greatest possible aid, to promo- tion of traffic from that country. In terms of dollars, it provides a bonus of ten nereent. One enterprising group has pictured it as "one day free in ten". To others, it is a pleas. ing novelty. For any one of these conceptions to be effective, the premium must be paid by Canadians catering to the tourists. It is not only a national service to pay the premium, para- mount in wartime, but it is the law as well. it is an offence,' punishable by severe penalties, to accept United States currency at anything other than the official- rate. Because Canada isin urgent need of United States dollars to buy aer- oplanes and other vital equipment in the U.S.A., this American currency should be turned' in to the banks with- outundue delay. It is an offence to hold it for more than a reasonable period od of a few days after it has been received; Ne Canadian loses by payment of the premium. Merchants, hetelkeep- ers and others pay the current prem- ien of ten percent and banks pay out a like premium in receiving the Amer- ican currency. The premium is ten percent, whether it be for U.S. paper currency, bank cheques, travellers' cheques or silver. It is a national service and' aP at- riotic duty—PAY THE TOURIST HIS PREl12LUM.
