This photo shows several enthusiastic fishermen trying their luck just below the bridge on the Bayfield River. The International Scen TIPS FOR TRAVELLERS It's time for my yearly trav- elogue directed at those people who will be hitting the roads or the airways this summer. By a strange quirk of fate, I have already got my baptism of fire. I would tell you about it this week only I haven't quite recov- ered for me to be able to desc- ribe it the way I would like. Needless to say, in the short time I was away I saw all the varieties of weather I'd like to see for a long while. It all contributed to my getting home later than expected and missing several things I had been looking forward to. Anyway, down to travelling in general. If you are going to Europe this summer, you may save some money by travelling at one of the lower charter rates Canadians are being offered. In all honesty I find that these savings are not all they are cracked up to be --so much so that my pilgrimage to Switzer- land this June will be by a scheduled, not a charter air- craft.

That will be that last money you will save. Do you recall reading about all those currency crises last winter. They seemed so far away and Canada didn't really get involved. With a floating currency, we didn't have to even resort to a sudden revaluation of our currency. Don't let that apparent calm fool you. When you get to Germ- any or Switzerland, for example, you will find that, since our dollar is unofficially pegged to the American dollar, Canadians are going to have to pay 10-150Jo more for everything, not to mention the 5% inflation that has pushed up prices since last year. In other words, those two countries will cost Canadians 200/o more than they did last year. Because of the floating value of currencies and for other self- evident reasons, I can't recom- mend strongly enough that you buy traveller cheques, if you insist on taking money with you, If you haven't noticed it already most credit cards are now acc- epted for numerous other things beside gas and oil and you may prefer to rely mainly on credit cards instead of cash or travell- er cheques. Remember, though, that unless you pay your credit card purchases in the time spec- ified, you will be hit by inter- est charges at the rate of 181o. The reason that I recommend traveller cheques if you want to take money with you is that, in the United States the Canadian dollar is still highly suspect and usually discounted. If you go to Europe, dollars of any kind are likely to be discounted more than usual. It's too bad to see the dollar fall on such hard time but it has been coming for a Huron MP (continued from page 1) avoid that is to put the service here, " warned McKinley. He said the train passenger service had been discontinued because it was believed bus service was adequate. "Not so, " said McKinley who believes that if the rail companies had to be subsidized up to 80 percent the service should be restored to the district. long time. One last comment. I'm glad to see the Canadian government push Canada as a place to spend your holidays. The more I see of our country, the more inter- esting I find it and if you are not off to foreign climes, try to see a part of your country that you haven't visited before.
