L.g.s.,,.C.. 1- .,Q,R.A,C.- ' LE 75 6- -fwcz 4 I A Trip up the Muskoka Lakes Close your eyes and come with us up the beautiful lakes. Imagine that it is a warm day in July. The steamer leaves Port Sydney, Mary Lake, to take us up the twisty north branch of the Muskoka River, through a lock, and into the island-dotted Fairy Lake. On leaving the steamer we board the queerest, tiniest 'train in the world. This little wood-burner takes the pas- sengers over the portage between Pen- insula Lake and the Lake of Bays. Here we getwon a larger lake boat which goes to'i Do'rset. But we are stopping' at the ,landing place before the end of the run. Bigwin Inn! What a beautiful place to spend a few days before continuing our cruise! t -MARGARET W1LsoN.' ' , A,Trip to Newfoundlancih' 'T Let' us takef an -imaginary journey -to the world's tenth .largest island, picturesque Newfoundland, that famous fishing ground that also bears the well- deserved name of-Landof .the.Caribou. One of 'our most pleasant rafternoons was spent in a' quaint fishing village. All the houses were whitewashed, and, Eff: N Y-fI.,N ..f 'T fl EF ,..:,f-f -S though scantily furnished, were im- maculate. . The Fisher Folk live almost entirely on fish. When the fish are caught they are placed on racks covered with pine boughs where they are seasoned by the sun and ocean breeze until they are salted. The operation of salting is carried on chiefiy by the women and girls. The coun- try's favour- ite dish is Bake - apple which resem- bles our wild . ...IA May apple. Cod .tongues V and dande- A lion greens are also considered delicacies. Herefs a tip! If you are planning to,-visit the country and have a fondness for chewing gum, take a. supply with you, unless you care for hard lumps of pine gum which seems to be about the only variety purchaseable. The children of Newfoundland are not compelled by law to attend school. fWe might consider this, on first thought, a lucky break, but the result is seen in the fact that a great many of the people can neither read nor write. This, how- ever, does not mar their hospitality, which is unparalled in any other country. These are only a few of the interest- ing features of Newfoundland, but I sincerely hope that they have brought to you a little more knowledge of this loyal country and Britain's oldest Colony. .

76 pecially, are different from the houses here. They are very high and are called tenements. They are made of stone, and coal has to be carried right to the top of the tenements. The main street is called Princes Street and is said to be the most beautiful street in the world. Un one side of the street are stores and on the other side is a very beautiful garden. At the back of the garden is a very large rock on which Edin- burgh Castle stands. On entering the castle one sees the statue of the late Earl Haig. In the interior of the Castle there is a shrine which was built in memory of the soldiers who fought in the Great War. On looking over the walls of the Castle one can see the monument of Sir Walter Scott. At the other end of the garden is a clock, the hands and numbers of which are made of flowers. It chimes at every hour, and runs only during the summer. Across from the garden is an Art Gallery where the most beautiful pictures are to be seen. There is a difference in sport also. During the summer months cricket is usually played, and in the winter soccer and rugby. The people play hockey, but not ice hockey, as the climate is unsuitable and the ice al- ways melts. -ARCHIE MCGOVERN. A Motor Trip from Montreal to Quebec When we left Montreal, we did not realize what a wonderful trip we were going to have as we motored along with the mighty St. Lawrence, which we never lost sight of for more than a few minutes, on our right, and the mag- nificent Laurentian Range on our left. The narrow, twisting road looked as if it had been an Indian trail. We noticed particularly how narrow the farms were. In the early days the pioneers settled close together along the river bank to protect themselves from the Indians and so it seemed that we were driving through an endless village. The barns were usually on the opposite side of the road from the houses and it was not an uncommon sight to see a girl with a pail and a stool waiting to cross. the road. The thatched barns L. S. C. I. ORACLE and farmhouses were whitewashed, and, with the brightly-coloured hand-woven rugs which were hung out for sale, presented a very clean and gay appear-, ance. The farmers use two-wheeled carts drawn by one horse. There was a patch of tobacco on almost every farm and I suppose that was why even young boys were often seen smoking pipes. When we arrived at Quebec we deci- ded that it seemed just like a city of the old world. At the top of the hill stands the very imposing Chateau Frontenac with its wide promenade, on which there is a fashion show every night, facing the river. It was great fun to take a caleche, which is a queer, two-wheeled horse-drawn cart, from here through the narrow, bricked streets, and to see the many monu- ments of the great men who made the history of Canada. We were taken to the Citadel, and farther up the river to Wolfe's Cove, and above it to the Plains of Abraham, which is now a park. I assure you that the trip from Montreal to Quebec is well worth taking. -BOB CRAM. Southern California There were many things I enjoyed while in California, some more out- standing than others. It was very interesting to visit the various old historic missions along the southern coast. These are full of relics that take one back to the days when the Spanish padres struggled to establish Christian civilization along these shores. Down in the heart of Los Angeles is another picture reminiscent of the early days-a colourful bit of old Mexico, the Plaza, the spot where Los Angeles was founded. Leading off from this is a street lined with stalls where native wares are sold by Mexicans. The cafes in this street where native food is served, are very popular with the people in Los Angeles. The drives through fragrant orange and lemon groves, up winding roads high into the mountains, along the beautiful ocean front, or out into the desert are long to be remembered. These are just a few of the interest- ing things that one can do while win- tering in the Sunny South. ' -ANNE ADAMS. I
