T do not recommend that you do this. It is much better to go directly to Isle Notre Dame and take a blue minirail. A much better view of Expo is possible from the blue one. We started out from Dorion at about 9 a.m. for Expo on Sunday, July 16th. We went into the car park then boarded the Expo Exâ€" press at Place d‘Accueil and got off by mistake at Ile Ste. Helene. It was raining so we took a yellow minirail to see around this area. . We started out on Saturday at about 11 a.m. and driving not too fast as we were pulling a trailer we arrived at Dorion, Quebec via the 401. We decided to park there. It‘s a good locationâ€"about 25 minâ€" utes from Expo with good faciliâ€" ties and handy to stores, etc. WRONG STOP So many people go to Expo, come back, and when you ask "How did you enjoy Expo?" they reply fine and mention one or two thingsâ€"not really giving you a too fair idea of what to expect. Following is a brief outâ€" line of what we saw and experiâ€" enced from Sunday, July 16 to Tuesday, July 18. OX CANADA PABRTY LNE â€" By DOROTHY CZERNIS Tose it in wherever you go.

Special stamps are available that can only be sent from there. Inside the building an Academy Awardâ€"winning film entitled "To Be Alive" is shown. There is also a United Nations restaurant but we did not go into it. The theme of the Christian Pavilion is the "Eighth Day". There is a film shown here too. This was a joint project of the Western Provinces erected at a cost of approximately $1,350,000. Next we saw the Atlantic Provinces Pavilion. It was not as impressive in my opinion as the Western Provinces. "TO BE ALIVE" The Indian building was teresting. The Wastern Canadian Pavilion gives you a glimpse of Manitoba through points in Saskatchewan and Alberta to locations in B.C. You will see in that time just a few of the resources of wealth of that vast sweep of country, and to enjoy your participation in the simulated development of those selected resources. Next we visited the Ontario building. It was quite interesting. Be sure to see the 17 minute film, A Place to Live and Place to Stand in this building. It is exceptionally good. ° The Quebec building did not especially appeal to me although you may enjoy seeing it." Here are a score of models, ail larger than normal of Things Universal to All Man. Inside the strikingly unusual inverted pyraâ€" mid, their setting is further enâ€" hanced by an electronic symphony.

We â€"went for & ride on the Hovercraft, an amphibifus craft which rides on a eushion of air four feet above the water. We travelled ata speed of about 55 miles per hour on the He Cha:â€" ron River to Expo site and back to La Ronde. This craft is capâ€" able of going about 70 m.p.h. "The Flume" ride is a good one for the family. You ride in what looks like a hollowed out We walked through La Ronde. We saw Fort Edmonton, French atmosphere _ restaurants, the Safari â€" animals from Africa. Also there was an elephant and a camel on which the kids could get a ride. Saw Plenty on Two Day Trip to Fair Longueuil car park is where we left the car when we returned from St. Jean. We then boarded the Metro Express to Isle Ste. Helene then the Expo Express to La Ronde. Following this we returned homerto our trailer at Dorion. The next morning, Monday, July 17th ‘we decided to drive to St. Jean about 23 miles southâ€" west of Montreal. We visited the Hairt Battery Co. which is an affiliate of ESB in Dixie where my husband works. Later in the day we dined at the Raphgel which is quite reaâ€" sonable. Following this we visited "Man the Producer" Building. Once again I think this building is more interesting to men. This is an interesting structure. It shows modern automatic producâ€" tion equipment. TO LA RONDE There is a delightful view of the water, boats, etc. from the open air section here. In the Ontario Building you will find a spot where there is a boxed lunch for 95¢. It consists of a beef on the bun sandwich, eole‘‘slaw, potato chips, iceâ€" cream and a beverage. Miss Chery!

Government â€" Inspector in â€" the We met "Red" Kelly and his family taking in Expo‘s sights near the Australian Building. Upon entering the building we saw "Shaping the Nation". It tells how an island people were moulded by successive invasions, by the coming of Christianity and the influence of the Church. by the authority of kings and the disputes between throne and people, into a society based on law and order. It shows how Britain then became a great outâ€" ward looking democracy whose influenceâ€" spread throughout the world. At 11:15 we arrived at the British Pavilion. We remained in a line until about 1 p.m. This building has as its theme "‘The Challenge of Change". It shows how the British people ave meeting this challenge in the modern world, as they have done many times in the past. Just as we were about to board the Expro Express our attention was drawn to Place des Nations. Princess Grace was just arriving. There was a tremendous crowd waiting. The following day, Tuesday, having left Dorion at about 9 a.m. we arrived at Longueuil parking lot, parked there then took the Metro Express to Isle Ste. Helene. We then took the Expo Express to Isle Notre Dame. * At about 8 p.m. we left La Ronde via the Expo Express to Isle Notre Dame. We had dinner at the Raphael near the India Building. & We then visited the German building. It was good but rather technical. We then returned again to Dorion.

Forthose who have not visited it, the buildâ€" ings are situated just. south of the Durdas Highway off Stavebank Road. There is every kind of sport imaginable provided includâ€" ing swimming with a schedule for family parties and lessons for the young ones. If you have not visited the recreational centre you saould and see for yourself what the Township has provided for our This coming Saturday, Aug. 12, Highland Games will be held in Memorial Park in Port Credit organized by the Centennial Comâ€" mittee and the Tartan Club. I Mr. and Mrs, A. Yosall of Cawtiv® Road have returned from an enjoyable holiday at their cottage in Haliburton district. Friends and neighbors of the Branning family on Atwater St. will be pleased to hear Karen is recovering nicely from her recent tonsilectomy. She is now home from South Peel Hospital, Mr, and Mrs. H. Stevenson, of Muir Road spent last weekend at Stratford visiting with friends and seeing the production of the Govermment | Inspector in the theatre. A must, I think. on anyone‘s list shou‘ld be the Bell Telephone Pavilion. I waited in line 45 minâ€" utes with Loretta while my husâ€" band toured the Republic of China and Iran Pavilion which were nearby. We thought we might get a drink in the Russian Pavilion but changed our minds when they asked 75c for a cup of tea. Inâ€" stead we went to a Dominion booth across the way and obâ€" tained drinks for 15¢ and snacks quite reasonably priced. Following this we saw "Man the Provider". We were through all of this by about 4.10 and decided to go across the Cosmos Walk from Isle Notre Dame to Isle Ste. Helene. We skipped the U.S. Pavilion which was on Isle Ste. Helene near the Cosmos Walk. We had seen some of the interior of this building.while riding on the blue minirail. SAW FILM You want to ‘be prepared to spend some time in this building in order to absorb the many things to be seen here. When we arrived at the Rusâ€" sian Pavilion we saw a very long lineâ€"up. It occurted to us to go to the restaurant at the back of the building on the chance that we might be able to walk in from there. We did this and saved about two hours that would have been spent ‘standing in the line out front. ~ When you walk through the doorway of this pavilion, you enter Australia. What you see here is, it‘s true, only a tiny image of the real Australia, comâ€" pressing into 20,000 square feét the story of three million square miles. Nonetheless it is a kind of microfilm edition of thirll,n actuâ€" ally happening and the life going on at this moment on the other side of the globe, 10,000 miles from Montreal. SAVED TIME by and before long we were about to enter this building. A Walt Disney production filmed especially for the pavilion, ~the 22â€"minute movie was made by nine synchronized cameras mounted like spokes on a wheel. In a whirligig tizzy, encireled by a movi¢ cyclorama 273 ft. in cireumférence, visitors \take a trip through Canada. Mounties herd them, hockey pucks zip through their midst and the 1,500 viewers, totally immersed in theâ€"â€"action, became particiâ€" pants more than spectators. Dizie Road e Phone £74â€"8407 _ From here we boarded the Expo Express once more from Isle Ste. Helene to Place DIXIE PLAZA _ Next we visited the fine arts exhibition at: Expo, entitled ."Man and His World", which is among the most important exhibitions seen in Canada.

So we started out on Highway 2 first thing in the morning and: had a.very pleasant trip along the scenic route with very little traffic practically all day. When we arrived at Port Hope we drove onto the 401 and came through the city arriving in New Toronto at about midnight.
