July day in a buggy drawn by a 27-year-
old ex-milkhorse was particularly ludi-
crous.
But we didn't draw cartoons about
it, and at the time we didn't express
our frivolous thinking concerning it.
If that is the way the Ontario Depart-
ment of Highways wants to mark the
accomplishment of a task which is their
job to do—then that's the way things
are.
But this Trans-Canada Highway
thing—there's something different, en-
tirely. Certainly we can hardly hope
that it will do as much for Canada as
the first railway did before it. However,
the possibility of driving .a car clear
across the nation-6,000 miles of high-
way—is thrilling in the extreme. Some
day we are going to do just that, we
hope.
Just read this description:
"A Mari Usque Ad Mare"—from
sea to sea—the legend borne by the
coat of arms of Canada, world's second
largest country in area. Linking this
immense land of rugged beauty is the
longest paved highway on earth: The
Trans-Canada Highway.
"This splendid spanway — stretch-
ing from Victoria, British Columbia to
St. John's, Newfoundland — traverses
a magnificent breadth of natural beauty
and fascinating variety. You may enjoy
a roaring river or a languid lake . . . a
majestic mountain or a sweep of plain
. . . the wonder of wildlife encountered
along the way . . . the recreational
pleasures of the great Outdoors (swim-
ming, canoeing, fishing, hunting) . .
you can enjoy the relaxing pleasure of
seeing new places or re-living history
among Canada's famous fortresses.
From the bright lights of great cities
to the quiet byways of country towns,
this is a route of, ever-changing fresh-
ness and fascination."
Doesn't that sound wonderful?
In Safety
equipment is gambling against heavy
odds.
In the first place, if you permit
someone under 16 to drive a farm trac-
tor along a highway, it is an offence
under the Highway' Traffic Act, Lights
must be used properly on all farm equip-
ment on the highways after dark, and
that means One half hour after sunset..

Implements on Ontario Highways which

partment of Transport, Parliament

SUGAR and SPICE
Isn't it add how 'the' weather
changes with your age? Take
summer, for example. The older
you get, the shorter and colder
the summer gets.
When as bay is ten years old,
and school lets out, summer
stretches ahead for approxim-
ately six months. That's prob-
ably the best age of all for a
boy. He :hasn't one single worry
in 'the world. He doesn't care
what he looks like. He doesn't
have any work to do. Girls
don't interest him 'in the slight-
est. He lives in a wonderful
world' in which the boundary
between fact and fantasy is
merely an imaginary line.
* *
He can swim for hours', until
his lips are bluer than his eyes.
Or he can lie on his back in
the grass and watch the clouds
sail by. Or he can play ball in
the burning sun when anybody
else would 'collapse. He can eat
an entire meal in four minutes
fiat and be out the door again,
He 'can drink eight bottles of
pop and eat four ice-cream, con-
es without turning a hair. ,Ah,
wouldn't 'it be grand to be ten,
again, when summer lasts for-
ever and is alwayt hat?
If ten is the best of all pos-
sible ages for a boy, fifteen
is probably the 'worst. Especial-
ly in summer. H 'his parents
are not well off, he has to work
and he envies bitterly the rich
kids Who can gO off to 'summer
camp or family cottage. If his
parents have lots of money, he
resents having to go to the
cottage, where 'there's nobody
but women ,and ,kids, ,and he
envies the lucky kids who have
a summer jab.
At fifteen, the average male
is acutely aware of ('a) girls;
(b) his complexion, which
drives him to thoughtt of sni-
cide; (c)• money, of which he
never has enough; and (d)
girls. Summer is pure torture
for this bird, who invariably
falls deeply in love. with some
brown-legged girl who. is just

His iheatt is broken when she
leaves, and he writes her sick-
eningly sentimental letters for

By the 'time 'the male animal
gets into his' early twenties,
summer its once 'again as fine
thing. His only complaint is
that it's not long enough. He
works hard and plays twice as
hard. He drives two hundred
miles to fish, or plays' thirty-
six holes of golf, or dances all
night, without any noticeable
decrease in stamina, ***
He has the World by the tail,

nothing in the bank, and little
more in his head, except an

Now, let's look at' hihi ten
years later, What? That's not
him! Not that thin, haggard
(or fat, flabby) fellow coming
home from work on a summer
evening With his Shirt all stuck

TVG the same character, all
right.. Only now 'he's in what
is known as "the prime of life."
That means he ,has kidS, a
first and second mortgage on
the ..houte, ?and 'eight payments
to 'go on the car. He's at the
age where he's "getting estab-
lished" his career. In other
words, he's working himself
silly at his job so that he can
keep up the payments on his
house so that he can come home
at night and work himtelf sillly
mowing :the lawn, weeding the
garden, painting the trim or
building the patio. For ,a big
entertainment deal, he can take
the family for a little drive and
buy 'them ice-cream cones. At
this age, it doesn't matter much
whether it's winter or summer.

When a man gets into his
sixties, summer sh•ould be a
time of leisure and pleasure. By
then, he should be able to take

sun would stun an ox.
Yep, the mentolks have their
ups and downs in summer, For
women, •of course, it's different.
They love ;summer. Whether
they're 'three or 83, they go
around with practically nothing
on, reduce the cooking to soup

and have little rests in the cool
of 'the house while their males
are out doing battle. •

SIX DAYS from now, a group of
12 motor cars will start off on a trip
across Canada, from St. John's in New-
foundland, right across to Vancouver
Island at the west coast. The cars will
follow the Trans Canada Highway.
Along the way—on Tuesday, September
4, to be exact—an official opening cere-
mony will be held, with Prime Minister
John Diefenbaker officiating. The site
will be in Glacier National Park, high
in the mountains just west of Banff
and Lake Louise.
We wish we could be there.
When, in the fairly recent past we
studied Canadian history in a one-room
school redolent of chalk dust, and hum-
ming with the lessons of junior classes,
we were told of the "driving of the last
spike" with which builders marked the
completion of the Canadian Pacific
Railway. There was a triumphant day.
That railway in itself, did more to weld
this nation together, than any one item
throughout our 95 years.
There has been chuckling about
that final "golden" spike—even our own
Bill Smiley made a joke about it in a
recent column. There will be more
chuckling, and cartoons published when
Mr. Diefenbaker cuts a ribbon, or what-
ever is planned for the Trans Canada
Highway opening.
This is perhaps inevitable. Cana-
dians have been chided for so long about
not having a sense of humour, that the
trend seems to be towards finding some-
thing laughable about all things in
public life. Personally we found some-
thing particularly comical about the
foofaraw involved in cutting four rib-
bons to "open" a section of Highway 21,
near Goderich this month, which had
been in use for months by all sorts of
vehicular traffic. That the minister of
highways could be conned into travel-
ling this route in the heat of a Huron
