Holidays at Banff in the Canadian Rockies 5 nappy, carefree expeditions into XL the Canadian Rockies, com- fortably far from the .routine of civilization, are among the many health-givinll' amusements avail- able to visitors at the Banff - Springs Hotel, at Banff, Alberta, this season. These expeditions can be made on horseback with the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies, or on ,foot with the Trail Hikers. Both organizations are based in the Banff-Spr(ngs hotel, where riding, hiking, golf, tennis and swimming are but a few of the vigorous activities which con- tribute to the success of it moun- tain holiday. Physical fitness must be among the first personal rules of every citizen of the Allied countries in these days when the stress and strain' of war makes exceptional demands an everyone. Holidays this year are being planned with increased fitness in view, and this is particularly true of Canadians, and visitors from the united States, who are including Banff in their holiday itinerary. Canadian Pacific Railway, in keeping with this spirit, has ar- ranged extremely low American Plan rates on a weekly or month- ly basis, and these cover a really magnificent holiday and provide a complete escape from the spectre of gas, oil, and rubber. There is no joy greater than riding a sure -:footed mountain pony along far-flung scenic trails, or in hiking above the clouds along what is literally the sky line; The Banff -Springs Hotel golf course is internationally famous and justly so and is a continual challenge to experts and "ama- teurs alike, There is much to do at Banff and a splendid holiday in the doing, 11101114.
