I GENERAL OBSERVATIONS 1
By W. FI. T.
let
A visit to the Canadian National'
Exhibition is an agreeable break in
the dell monotony of life.
Leaving Seaforth :on the afternoon
of Labor Day for Stratford, where
one spent the evening till bed time
in calling on friends and relatives, a
good night's rest put one in splendid
shape for boarding the 7,40 train with
four companions for Toronto, which
is deservedly called the Queen city of
Ontario.
The 7.40 train with its luxurious
equipment, bowls along at a steady
pace. stopping only at the larger
places. ,1s it rushes on, it is one min-
` ate in a deep cutting, the next it is
crossing a valley on a high embank-
ment, and there over a level stretch of
country. In the construction of a
railway how literally is fulfilled the
Scripture which speaks of the tnoun-
rains and hills as being made low,
the valleys exalted, the crooked be-
ing made straight, and the rough
places plain, in order that the iron
horse may have a level pathway.
What a view you have where it
is not obstructed as in a cutting..
"Earth has not anything to show
more fair" than the beautiful Canad-
ian landscape.
Arrived at Parkdale, we get off the
train, go down into the subway, and,
at once are in the thick of the noise
and bustle of the busy city, A short
walk wrings us to the exhibition.
The turnstiles clicked as each person
passed through, thus registering him
or her as a unit of the day's at-
tendance. \Ve had not sent word
on ahead that we were coming, so
we were allowed to enter quietly,
without beating of drums, blaring of
trumpets or booming of guns.
We at once began going through
building after building, viewing the
exhibits, which when looked at in
continuous rapid .succession as we
had to look at them, were confusing
in their number and variety. To see
The exhibition to advantage one
should go through the buildings
leisurely and take copious notes;
otherwise only a confused jumble
of impressions is the result.
But wonderful indeed was the dis-
play of the products of our vast
Dominion—of forest and field and
mine. Our wild animals from the
.rnild and timid deer, to the fierce c
and hungry beasts of prey. Our :birds 'a
also, and of our domestic animals- s
horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, n
etc etc. The products of our looms T
and knitting mills, of our foundries t
and machine shops.
But one might as well stop at- a
tempting to enumerate all that was a
to be seen. Outside of the many fn
buildings, it was delightful to walk at
about the grounds so •beantifully laid th
out, to see the crowds of people all th
seemingly carefree and happy, to w
hear the delightful music discoursed et
by various 'bands, but one must par- ly
ticularly mention the high class pro- in
gramme ;beautifully eautiiully rendered hthe
band of the 1st Norfolk regiment an
from Bermuda, where the regiment i3
is now stationed, and also the splen -
raid performance of the famed Hunts- no
villa band.
One's gaze would wander occasion- es
ally out over the blue waters of the ist
lake, dotted with the white sails of on
yachts or _fishing boats. while y
smudges of smoke over the horizon to
told of the passigg of the great steam its
vessels tarrying on the commerce an
of our inland seas. ti
The day was ideal, with its blue be
sky, bright sunshine, moderate temp- w•r,
erature, and gentle breezes. far

one's self, "Can Heaven be nicer?" pa

A MOTOR TRIP.
(The following interesting account
of a motor trip, written by Miss Nan
Woods, of Bayfield, will be read with
match interest. /
After having spent J uly amid the
piney uploads of Muskoka, we de-
cided to spend the remainder of our
vacation nn a sight-seeing tour. Ac-
cordingly one bright, sunny morning
early in August we 'started from
Sarnia,.our party consisting of my
another, sister, brother-in-law and
myself and oar two Airedale dogs,
,lack and Popsy. For equipment we
hail two Ford coupes; upon the left
relining board of each teas a col-
lapsible bed and a car tent. These,
being enclosed in a water -proof
covering, were strapped down se-
curely and did not prevent the door
from being, opened. Our bedding in
a roll, elect in.-a.'covering, was strap-
ped on the bumper.
After a long day's drive across the
western part of Ontario, we spent
the first night its the vicinity of
Winona. Here our camp was sur-
rounded by orchards of plums,
peaches and cherries. Niagara Penin-
sula has rightly been named the
Garden of Ontario, for here abound
vast acres of small fruits as well
as tomatoes and other vegetables.
Journeying on, the arrived at Nia-
gara Falls, and experienced no dif-
ficulty in crossing the border and
were soon on our way to Rochester,
Here we visited the park situated
four miles from the heart of the
city. In this park are many very
beautiful flowers. Lilacs are tate
chief attraction, of which they are
four hundred and forty-five varieties.
There also is the monument of
Bunker's Hill—famous in American
history.
From Rochester we journeyed
eastward to Syracuse, through the
Genesee Valley which in early days
was the home of the Mohawk and
Iroquois Indian tribes. Albany was
the next objective and in reaching it,
the highway -skirts the Adirondack
mountains, It is almost unnecessary
to add that here we passed over
many high hills and deep vales love-
ly its their ruggedness.
Upon reaching Albany the state
highway winds down the beautiful
Hudson River valley, unsurpassed
for wonderful scenery. Especially
pretty are _ the country estates at
Poughkeepsie. Peekskill and Tarry-
town. These are enclosed by mass-
ive stone fences that extend along
the highway for miles. Next our
route lay through the Catskill moun-
tains -famous not only for their
natural beauty, but also because
amongst their lofty summits Rip
Van'1Viukle crept for his long un-
interrupted sleep.
On the sixth day we arrived in
New York city, where we found a
forty -acre motor camp, situated on
high wooded grounds midway be-
tween Pelham Bay and the Hudson
River, and thirty minutes' ride on the
street cars from Times Square. In
this camp nothing has been over-
looked for service and convenience.
It has city water, a getieral store,
community house, restaurant, hot
and cold showers, tables and 'benches,
telephone, telegraph and post office,
gasoline and repair station, daily
reeh fruit and milk, laundry and
bakery service,
After a good night's rest we set
forth to see the sight; of NewlYork.
I think perhaps the most wonderful
!ting, certainly the most conveni-
ent, about the city is its subway
system. For the small satin of five
cents, one can ride thirty-eight miles,
We saw Broadway brilliantly aglow

seeing in ,buses or in :peculiar little
two -wheel cabs known as e "caleche"
drawn by a patient horse—the win-
ters are so long here tbat the horse
still holds his. own in Quebec.
,We drove out to Montmorency
Falls and to the shrine of St. Anne
de Bcaupre. The falls are one hun-
dred feet higher than Niagara
though of course without the volume
of water, yet they are - very beauti-
ful, As we •passed from there to St.
Anne's eve went through the most
charming old villages that we had
ever seen, of quite a different type
from those to the south of Quebec,
and at Beau'port saw the oldest
Rouse in North America. At St.
Anne's there are many crutches,
canes and so forth left by grateful
pilgrims. Next we visited the great
Quebec Bridge, .famous for having
the longest single span in the world.
The bridge is three thousand feet
long and one hundred and fifty feet
above the river. It is 'a railway
bridge with a side bridge for pedes-
trians.
Upon reaching Sorel we camped
in the grounds of an old chateau built
For a :summer home and occupied by
the Duke of Bent, the father of the
late Queen Victoria, in 1791. At
that tine Sorel was one of the chief
headquarters of the British garrison.
We found Montreal to be a ,pro-
gressive, busy city and did not stay
there any length of time. Going
from 'Montreal to Toronto the high-
way follows closely the shores of
the St. Lawrence river and Lake On-
tario. '\long this' route on sees the
tario. along this route one sees the
home of Adana Daulac, the Lachine
Moore composed the poem, "The
Canadian Boat Song," also the
Thousand Lslands, the battlefield at
Chrysler's Farre and the old fort at
Cornwall. This road is interesting
in another way to Motorists as there
are seventeen detours, not very
choice ones at that, before one
reaches Toronto. The last night
under canvas was spent in the vi-
cinity of 'Georgetown. When we were
within two Hailes of home one of
our front tires 'blew nut, the only
experience of that sort on our trip
of two thousand and fifty miles. We
found the motor camps along the
way to be many and varied and the
Canadian camps, as a general rule,
were nnuch better equipped. The
American roads are in letter shape
than our own and are kept in con -
Stant repair. Their roadworkers are
very courteous, too, in "their treat-
ment of passing motorists. Otte could
not help but notice the difference in
this respect between their workmen
and those who are employed to do
similar work on the roads of otir
own province.
Through the entire trip . eve were
fortunate in having good weather, an
essential necessary !for enjoyable
camping. And for a healthy, broad-
ening vacation—take a motor trip

Mud taxes
car
g�,s taxes?
Users of Ontario highways in years gone by paid a
heavy tribute to mud roads. They paid in the form of
damage to vehicles and waste of time and money in
getting about the country.
The mud taxes were more burdensome than any con-
ceivable gasoline tax ever will be. Not one automobile
or truck owner would exchange Ontario road conditions,
with a gas tax, for the conditions of ten years ago when
there was no gas tax.
The gasoline tax reminds you that as a user of the road
you are expected to help pay construction and mainte-
nance costs. As a practical measure, road building must
have definite financial support.
In making this situation familiar to ail motorists, the
Government is requesting co-operation in maintaining
the good condition of the roads by the sane and intelli-
gent use of them.
Care of the roads falls into the hands of theublic as
well as of the road authorities. Repairs are made by the
authorities, but the need for repairs can be deferred by
reasonable loading and sane driving.
While the law provides penalties for those who overload
or drive above the speed limit, voluntary co-operation of
intelligent motorists and truck owners is being given in
this matter. Those who persist in breaking the law, how-
ever, may expect rigorous enforcement of its provisions.
An advertisemenp issued by the Ontario Department of High-
ways to to' the co-operation of motorists and ttvcjt drivers,
