friday morning in perfect weather
with . no snow, but by the time of'.
atrivai:back at the hotel inlate

whipped up a real Western Ontar-

The group were bliefed.at the
administrationand press building.
at Expo on all'phases' of the expo-
sition) and :following lunch atthe
Canadian pavilion, a bus tour of
the site rounded out our day there.
There was some disappointment
•inothe fact that the lonsy,weather
conditions, set in, about •the time
the 'bus trip commenced, and the'
opportunity to seethe buildings
at their best gave into the wea-,
: •
ther: We did not have the"opport-,
unity to. see the interior of any
buildings Which. are busily being
completed in time for the opening
date...HoweVet, enough of the.
was.sen to make us want to se
rnOre and to realtie that every,
site
e•
Canadian who can possibly get to
• Expo this year will not be disappoin
• ted„, , , •
We had the pleasure of Spending
Friday evening with George Ander-
son in Montreal. George, the son
of Mr: and Mrs. W. B. Anderson of
• LucknoW, is an employee of Canad-
ian Ingersoll Rand Limited in, Mon
teal.. The weather had cleared'
enough
enough Saturday.noon r'that there
was no holdup in our returnflight
to Toronto. It is our intention to
comment at various times of what ,
we saw at Expo and what *public
can expect to see this year; but
this will collie in later issues.
The following:are exempts from
the speech of Philippe de Gaspe
Beaubien, director' of operations
Expo, given to the group following
the noon dinner. . •
"Canadians' will: be prowl to real-
• ize that this, Exhibition Of 1967 was
done by Canadians. It is not a
French-Canadian Exhibition and it'
is not' an English -Canadian Exhib-
ition. It was madepossible by the,
•mixture of both cultures in,this •
great national achievement", said
Philippe •de Gaspe Beaubien, Dir-'
eCtor of Operations,for ,Expo 67;•
