The Wingham Advance-Times, 1967-06-01, Page 8Ontario a pre ioneer
in summer camps
Happily in this Buck Rogers
sort of world there still is scope
for Tom Swift style adventure.
Nowhere is this more possi,,
ble than in the great outdoors of
Ontario, where thousands of
youngsters congregate every
summer to revel in an Indian-
like environment free of the
fussing of parents,
There are nearly 800 camps
for boys and girls scattered
throughout this immense Can-
adian province which still con-
tains regions likely never seen
by the whiteman. Roughly 175
of the total, not including day
camps and those with special
needs, are listed in the 1967
directory of the Ontario Camp-
ing Association, a wholly vol-
untary organization dedicated
to furthering the growth and de-
velopment of children through
living and learning together un-
der trained adult guidance.
In operation since the early
1020's, many of its member
camps were in business long be-
fore that, uninterrupted by eith-
er World War. Two of these --
the Keewaydin at Temagami
and the On-Da-Da-Waks on
Golden Lake near Barry's Bay --
were founded in 1803 at a time
when Ontario's northland was
first being settled and the trip
to these regions was adventure
itself.
The majority of Ontario's
camps carry colorful Indian
names and the ways of the red
man set the theme for a sum-
mer of healthful outdoor en-
vironment, of sleeping under
the stars, cooking over open
fires, and embarking on long
canoe safaris into wilderness
areas not navigable for motoriz-
ed craft.
A half-dozen or so well
established camps are located
in the Temagami district and in
the Algoma region, and to a
lesser degree in the wilds of
Parry Sound and Haliburton.
The majority, however, are
centered in Muskoka, Ceorgian
Bay, the Kawarthas, and in
areas closer to Toronto.
Information is attainable by
writing to the Ontario Camping
Association, 501 Yonge St.,
Toronto, or to the Ontario De-
partment of Tourism and In-
formation, 185 Bloor St. E.,
Toronto 5, Canada.
Well planned, balanced
meals are always important in-
.Aide or out! Ease of prepara-
tion and simplicity are two
good guides for making out-
door menus successful. Con-
sider flavor, color and texture
of the food combined with your
menus will be a real treat.
DOGS YELP and Indians chant as the visit-
or to the Confederation Caravan peers
through a glowing slit into a miniature en-
campment of Plains Indians on a prairie
river bank. The Caravan will be in Wing-
ham on Saturday, June 10.
WHAT IS RABIES?

The disease is usually divided
into two types: Furious and
Dumb. In dogs symptoms are:
FURIOUS RABIES
• Depression, tendency to hide
• Easily frightened, bite if touched
• Will eat objects such as stones or sticks
• Voice becomes hoarse
• Runs in aimless manner and wilt bite
anything in its path.
DUMB RABIES
• Nervousness. but not excitable with
viciousness shown in Furious type,
• Course of disease is rapid, death occurs
within 3-4 days.
Sometimes called "hydrophobia",
rabies is a fatal, infectious dis-
ease affecting animals and man.
It is a virus which attacks nerve
cells, eventually reaching the
brain, causing paralysis and
finally death.
BEWARE OF WILD ANIMALS WHEN
CAMPING OR PICNICKING.
SUMMER CAMPS for boys and girls have existed in Ontario
since the 1890s and their popularity has grown to the
point where nearly 800 establishments are now scattered
throughout the big Canadian province, Many feature long
canoe safaris into wilderness areas not navigable for power
craft.—Ontario Dept. Tourism and Information Photo,
