The Huron Expositor, 1966-11-24, Page 4Huron's Many Attractions
Are Tourist Asset
Production of a new tour map and
guide booklet by The Mid -Western Re-
gional Tourist Council should go a long
way towards encouraging a greater
movement of visitors to and through
this area. The' council represents the
four -county area of Wellington, Water-
loo, Perth and Huron. The publication
is to be produced in quantity and will
be distributed throughout the United
States .xnd -at.border crossing points.
-Huron Huron County offers- • interesting...
sights, varied scenery' and pleasant
stopping places the equal of any county
in Ontario. Unfortunately until now
there has been no effort on the part of
the county or any county organization
to bring- these advantages to the atten-
tion of the travelling public.
True references have been made to
Lake Huron's sandy beaches, the county
museum and the fact that airmen train
at Clinton. But who has been told of the
varied scenery at Benmiller, or describ-
ed the Maitland River as it flows
through Colborne; what publicity has
been given the hills of the Wawanoshes
and Ashfield, or the surprises of a doz-
en villages across the county.
The new folder will highlight the main
attractions in the 'four -county area.
The tour and accommodation booklet
which will supplement the, tourist fold-
er is designed to break the area down
into approximately twelve conducted
tours of one to five pages and include
black and white photographs of attrac-
tions and points of interest in the tour
area. Th'ey will also incorporate a two-
color map showing the route to be
travelled.
Such a promotion is long overdue
and is a recognition of the tourist as-
sets that lie at our door. The proper
encouragement of these natural tourist
resources can contribute, in a major
fashion, to the economy of the area.
Shinplasters
(Thee Montreal.Siar)"
There wan a time when the shinplas-
ter --the 25 -cent paper note -served a
definite purpose, particularly where
mailing was concerned. Today, however,
a doting aunt or uncle wouldn't dream
of sticking one in a birthday or Christ-
mas card, even if they were available.
But that's creeping inflation for you.
Neverthless, Finance Minister Sharp
could do far worse than heed the sug-
gestion of Frank Howard that the shin-
plaster be brought back in a fresh cen-
tennial year issue. Some of them might
linger around and prove .a -bit of a. nuis-
ance commercially. Tens of thousands,
however, would be snapped up and be
retired from circulation as souvenirs of
Expo and 'the centennial year itself. It
might he a very profitable operation.
In addition, two generations have
grown up since the last shinplaster was
issued, and relatively few of t'ti7ge.g'en-
erations have even seen the curiosities.
Moreover it is just possible some prac-
tical use for the paper money might.de-
velop, though offhand, for the moment,
we really can't think. of a single one.
CANADA'S CENTURY
A news background special on the

And. Sci=ence
(23rd Of . A Series)
" By WALT McDAYTER
Canada's history as .a nation
is Iess than 100 years old, yet. in
this modest span she has pro-
duced some of the most brilliant
minds in science and medicine
that the world has ever known
•
It was in the war against dis-
ease that Canadian scientists
fought. the hardest. Few remeni-
,.ber today, for instance, that it
was a Canadian doctor, Abra-
ham Groves, who in 1883 per-
formed the first successful ap-
pendix operation on this conti-
nent. Dr. Groves was 'a pioneer
in antiseptic surgery in an age
when unsterile conditions in op-
erating rooms were claiming
countless lives.
It was -another of our doctors,
William Osler, who revolution-
ized the ,teaching of medicine
the world over. In 1874, he hor-
rified colleagues by admitting
his students into the hospital
wards to learn by experience.
He also introduced the practice
of establishing resident doctors
in hospitals. His book, Princi-
ples and Practice of Medicine,
was the most highly acclaimed
medical text of his ,day. ..
Wilder Penfield, one of Oster's
students, became the foremost
neurosurgeon in the world. It
was he who built Montreal's
famed Neurological Institute.
The names that are most
.synonymous with medical ach-
ievenient, . however, are those
of Dr. Frederick Banting and
Charles Best. In 1922 they dis-
covered the hormone insulin,
'and saved the lives of literally
millions • of. men and women
who were suffering from the
dreaded killer disease, sugar
diabetes. -

In the Years
From The Huron Expositor
Nov. 27, 1891
The 32 year old wagon in
Hullett is now in the shade.
Mr. F. Layton of Tuckersmith
had one in his possession un-
til last summer which had
been in use 63 years, having
been made in 1828 and is still
in use. .
A new winter spdrt will be
introduced into Brussels tis

is played on ice, the contest-
ants being on skates, and arm- .

Mr. T. G. Allen, M.A., who
been science master at the

The trustees has succeeded in

by the wagon passing over
him. He has not quite recov-

Kip$"ARE GREA+ „ All in all, littler kids are
My heart aches for the par -
eats of young children. All the
parents of all, young children.
They are like soldiers who have
done their basic training, but
have never heard a shot fired
in anger. The real war lies
ahead.
I know there are some young
mothers with several children
who think they are going
through a rough time ` right
now. But this is merely purga-
tory. Hell comes later, and is
hotter. -
Little kids are loveable. As ba-
bies,- they are soft . and warm
and, if changed frequently,
'smell good. They grin, they
creep, they gurgle, and they
sheep, and every day, in every
way, they grow stilarter and
smarter. ..
Life is full of landmarks: •the
first tooth, the first step, the
first word, the first fist -fight
with the littIe girl next door,
the first day at school, the first➢
big crush on a member of the
opposite sex.
They're very funny and
they're very sweet. And there's
always a big occasion not far
away. There are Hallowe'en
costumes to make, and the
thrill of that first time out in
the eerie October night, one
hand clutching a huge ,paper
bag, the other clutching firmly
the hand of the bigger girl
from next door, as the rounds
are made.
There's Christmas ,coming
and the growing excitement of
carols and the part in the Sun-
day School pageant, and rustley
paper in closets, and the hair-
raising help they give in dec-
orating the tree.
An there's Valentine's Day,`
with the great social decisions
tobe made, about who gets the
five -cent one and who gets the
10 -cent one. And -there's Fire-
cracker Day, when they have'to
stand in a circle and watch
their father burning his fingers i
and scorching his eyebrows
while he shows them how care- t
1 th
about the -.,greatest single bless•
ing we can find in this vale of
tears. They're a laugh a day.
They can, make you feel big,
and strong, and capable, and
honest, and whole.
There's only one thing wrong
with little kids, Inevitably,
inexorably, relentlessly, they
become big kids. And as they •
grow, their parents shrink.
Physically, mentally, spiritual-
ly. And financially.
The tendons of the family
body ,begin to stretch, under
constant pressure. The faintly-
joints
amilyjoints begin to creak, under
constant strain. Not to- Iabor -
the analogy, Iet's just say that
your cherubs have become
teenagers. •
Momma's tolerance thins
with the same rapidity as pad's
hair. Daughters's lippiness in-
creases at the same rate as
son's surliness.
What was once merely an ex-
ercise in exhaustion -- getting
them to bed - becomes a su-
perhuman effort - staying up
till they get in.
But this is just the home life,
sgriiothing to be borne, like in-
grown toe -nails or varicose
veins: What really grabs you is
theworld. influence .of the outside
Everybody, from -the prime
minister to the local plumber,
tells your kids they have to
stay in school. It doesn't matter
whether they • have the brains
of a louse. A drop-out, these
days, is practically a felon. In
fact, don't be surprised if all
drop -outs are sent to the moon,
as soon as we have established
a colony there.
Similarly, your daughter has
an irre§istible attraction toward
hoods. Vainly, you nudge her in
the direction of sortie clean-cut
honor -student son of a wealthy
WASP doctor. Her reaction?
"That fink!" -
And she makes - a date .with
some long -locked,' Yamaha -rid -
ng character who is 'in his
fourth year in the two-year
ethnical course, makes $25 a
week in ins part-time job at the
uper-market, probably drinks
nd will be' rich by the time
e's 25.
And your son? Same, only
moreso. He "'looks on LSD with
he same interest with which
ou looked on, the Literary, So-
ial and Debating clubs. when
ou were his age. He helps
imself to a beer with the same
onchalance with which he
sed to take a banana. -
But cheer up, parents.
There's one satisfaction. If you
an hold out' physically,you're
ing - to he able to sit around
nd laugh yourself silly when
our kids are bringing up their
ids.

sion of a shell.
