Issued under the authority of Robert H. Winters, Minister of Trade and‘Commerce, a colorful, glossy paged booklet entitled "Adventure" which conâ€" tained many pictures of Canada‘s beauty spots along the Transâ€" Canada Highway; the highway map through each prjvince and short summary. Included in our package was another interesting booklet "Canâ€" adaâ€"Border Crossing Information" â€" very enlightening for U.S. visâ€" itors to Canada.

He was made a life member of the Irdian Association of Amâ€" erica ih 1938. His Indian name is Kiâ€"Ciâ€" Waâ€"Yiâ€" Ma, but he is perhaps better known to his asâ€" sociates and Metro politicians as Ralph C. Day. The 69â€"yearâ€"old TTC chairman once became involved in a squabâ€" ble over an assessment reduction on a house he owned. He was mayor of the city at the time. One of those demanding an inâ€" vestigation was a school trustee named William Dennison. Ralph Day was ill with a blood complaint some time ago when a horse at 66â€"1 odds won the Irish sweepstake race and he won $100,000. The current chairman of the TTC got into hot water a few years ago when he allowed his name‘to be placed in an adverâ€" tisement advocating the election of Leslie Saunders as mayor of the city. Mr. Day was at the time chairman of the city‘s parking authority. The politician: who complained loud and clear is toâ€" day Ontario Reforms Minister Allan Grossman. As parking authority chairman Ralph Day advocated that a Metâ€" ro parking authority be establishâ€" ed. A city controller said Mr. Day had no right to advocate such a step. The controller is today TTC commissioner Ford Brand. In the year 1939 then Mayor Raiph Day declared that the citizens of the suburbs would want the same standard of transit service if the TTC was expanded into the suburbs.

With exciting reports of fishâ€" ing rolling in from lakes all over the country, its difficult to understand why anyone going afloat should w 0t bring home willingness to FISHER strike, springtime bass must be stalked almost as deliberately as during any other time of year, but not necessarily in the any season. Though lunkers make feeding forays into the shallows, they tend to spend most of their hours in the interâ€" mediate regions. To reach them, select deepâ€"running or bottom bumping lures. 5 Time of day is less critical during this period than a few months from now. If you want to sleep late, go ahead. Several hours of sunshine may be reâ€" quired to provoke underwater activity.
