WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1959 BACK TO WORK! WHILE IT 1S hard to get back into the harness after a week's vacation we have observed several things during that time. while we toured part of eastern and northern Ontario, which we feel are worth passing on to you. . The first thing which comes to our minds is the condition of the roads, especially in the north. Ontario can be justly proud of izs highways. which. in many cases through the north, have been rebuilt in the past few years. Road, such as the new No. 11 high -a -ay. are certainly a pleasure to travel on. Another thing which comes to our minds on the greatly ins>rov ed highways is the splendid system of marking that has .:'ome into effect only during the past years. It is certainly no problem to find any particular pleace you may be searching for. Net having travelled through the north for a number of years we noticed a decided improvement. We definitely feel that people in northern Ontario are putting more effort into making their country attractive to tourists than are the people in south and western Ontario. A much greater air of friendliness exists there than in some of our own sections of the country. Food served in most eating places in the north seems much more tasty than it does in this section of Ontario. While we are fortunate here in Zurich to have what is known as the best place in Ontario to eat. we can think of many neighbouring communities which are not quite so fortunate. We feel that one of the best ways to attract visitors today is to feed them well. While on our trip we had the pleasure of visiting a former Zurich couple. Mr. and Mrs. James Wild, in Fenelon Falls. '.Ir. Wild was formerly on the staff at the local Bank of Mont- real. and now is an accountant at the Fenelon Falls branch. We are indeed grateful to this fine young couple, who made our visit with them so pleasant. Incidentally, they both wish to be remembered to all their friends in Zurich. GOOD FOR A TOWN? A Q U EST 1 ON which often arises is, "What` form of publicity provides the greatest benefit to a town?" As good an answer as we have seen comes from a recent issue of the Nanton (Alberta) News. They feel the answer lies with the business and professional men in a town, and go on to say If people get good treatment and good service at what they consider to be fair prices, they will throng to that town. On the other hand if people are shabbily treated and are not pro- vided with a wide range of services at reasonable prices, they will avoid that town. "The enterprising spirit of business and professional men also helps in a town's growth. We see evidence of this in our town through the activity of service clubs, lodges and other civic groups. "A town should have good churches which contribute to the religious life of a wider community. A town should have good schools for the training and educating of children. Such is a mater of major importance. "Cultural life should not be neglected: neither should sports and entertainment. Such activities round out a town's contribu- tion To a much enlarged population. "There are other factors which tend to develop a town. One of them. we meekly observe. is a good newspaper."

Smiley) Every year, in our family, we spend more time talking about our holidays than most people would if they were planning a trip around the world. * * * If the vacation was for a month, -three weeks, or even two, there might be some point in all the talk. But the entire deal con- sists of one week. And one week's holiday is about as beneficial as one drink for an alcoholic. It merely gets the recipient upset, and instils a mad desire for more. * Some years we have attended weekly newspaper conventions on our holidays. They are usually held about 700 miles from home. The holiday involves weeks of dis- cussion about wardrobes for both hot and cold weather, half a doz- en firm decisions that we can't afford it, and endless fulminations to plant the kids with somebody. a: *: :I: In the end, we declare roundly to each other that we're only young once, and take off in a great flurry of last-minute reser- vations and irritations. And what with all the social events, the late hours and the long trip, we ar- rive home completely fagged and equally broke, the last two bucks having been spent on presents for the kids, grabbed at the cigar stand in Union Station, on the last lap of the journey home. 10 YEARS AGO August 1949 Rev. Father Leo William Pow- er. 60, pastor of St. Michael's Church, Ridgetown, died Thurs- day in St. Joseph's Hospital, Lon- don_ He had served in St. Boni- face here for 13 years, leaving in 1942.

Ducharme— Glazier Marriage vows were exchanged by Ruth Elaine GIazier and Eu- gene Joseph Ducharme in St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, Clinton, on Saturday, August 1, with the Rev. Father L. E, Reed - Lewis officiating. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Glazier, Clinton, and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Ducharme, RR 2, Zurich. The bride wore a gown of chantilly lace with crystalette overdress featuring lilypoint sleeves and a solitaire neckline. Her shoulder length veil was held by a matching headdress, and she carried a bouquet of red roses and white carnations, Miss Donna Sharp, Clinton, was maid of honour and bridesmaid was Miss Lgrraine Lascelles, Lon- don. They were gowned alike in street -length dresses of blue frocked nylon over taffeta. Donald. Ducharme, London, at- tended his brother as best man and ushering guests were Gerard Ducharme, brother of the groom; Harold Dodds and George Over- holt, London.

And every hot, dis- gruntled, irritated male tourist I see walking past my office win- dow, herding a horde of demand- ing youngsters and a cross, per- spiring wife, merely confirms this opinion. * * * One year, we decided to just stay home. I was going to paint the trim on the house, On that occasion I learned two things: that you can't get much trim painted if you knock off every half hour for refreshments; and that I am constitutionally unable to work with the Old Lady as straw boss. That year, I got two and a half windows painted, and they sat like that for about three years, until they faded back into the shabbiness of the rest of the trim. * *: * Each year, during the fall, win- ter and spring, we have long, amicable, and reasonable talks about our holidays. My wife agrees tha it is only sensible that a man who has a mere week should get away from his wife and family, go on a fishing trip, or get off with some male friends. * * *. And each year, when my week's holiday looms, she stops being a * * Mind you, I think a woman should get away from her family once in a while, too. Every three or four years a wife should be al- lowed to go and visit her mother, or one of her sisters, for two or three days. As long as she leaves plenty of baking, lots of clean laundry, and doesn't want to spend any money while she's away. * * * Seriously, though, my Old Bat- tleaxe agrees with me, about men getting away for a change on their holidays. In theory. What burns her up is that men appear to have a wonderful time when they go on a holiday with other men, and women are just not in- terested in going on a jaunt with other women. It is one of the manifold unfairnesses, though why it is so, she can't quite ex- plain. My suggestion that wo- men are eternally fascinated by men, and men can take women or leave them alone, fails to strike a responsive chord. • ,: At any rate, weakling that I am, I have given in again this year. We have taken a cottage nearby for two weeks. I'll com- mute the first week, and the sec- ond week I'll have a peachy holi- day sitting watching the kids while they swim. * * Oh well, I've got her pretty worried, anyway. I'll be staying in town for lunch every day that first week, and a fellow can get into a lot of hellery at lunch-hour, if he puts his mind to it.
