""but by the Canadians them- -selves. -It.is the greatest exhi- would think of this Exhibition ---- -- PORT PERRY STAR -- THURSDAY, FEB. 16, 1967 10 Nations Will Participate In Expo 67 "Canadians will be proud to realize that this Exhibition of 1967 was done by Canadians. It is not a French-Canadian Exhi- bition and it is not an English- Canadian "Exhibition. It was made possible by the mixture of both cultures in this great na. tional achievement", said Phil ippe de Gaspé Beaubien, Direc: tor of Operations for Expo 67, speaking to a group of some 200 weekly editors from across Can- ada who were the guests, recently, of the = Exhibition, at a luncheon in the Canadian pavilion. The weekly editors were given a briefing of the Exhibition and were presented the many as pects of Expo 67 by a variety of speakers from various de: partments and introduced to the press facilities in the Pub: lic Relations Department. The group was headed by the Pre«4 sident of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association, Mr. John Sancton of Montreal and by the new General Manager of the Association, Mr. Douglas McIntyre. . "If I was in your shoes, con- tinued Mr. Beaubien, I would look upon this Exhibition as a| mother or father 'whose child will have a unique opportunity of rubbing elbows with repre: sentatives of some 70 countries participating in this Exhibition. They will be able to meet peo- ple of many creeds, colours, races, languages, religions and cultures. They will have an opportunity as no one of us ever had in the past. "If I was in your shoes 1 as a great Canadian achieve. ment which was not done by Americans, not by Europeans, bition that has ever been held anywhere else in this world and it is happening here in Canada. "If I was in your shoes I would look at this Exhibition from a Canadian point of view where my country has never be- fore. had the opportunity of playing host to the world and | "of meeting the world in its own backyard. This is the v crowning achievement of a great - year, the year of our Centennial. "If T was in your shoes as editors of weekly newspapers of Canada I. would look upon this Exhibition as a great op- portunity to tell my readers that an Exhibition such as this one will not happen again in Canada for several generations and it should not be whatever the cost, venience or the difficulties one may have to put up with to|E come to it.

We have taken steps to avoid our visit- ors the frustrations they. have experienced elsewhere: "1. Walking too much is sol- ved by our free main transpor- secondary transportation system. There "is also more park space in the Exhibition than ever before for people to relax. "2, Lack of information is solved by our computor - fed information booths situated in the strategic points of the Ex- hibition. "3. Lack of orientation "is .| solved by orientation kiosks, guides and hostesses distributed throughout the site. "4, High prices are solved by careful selection of concession- aires and established reasonable that all restaurants show at the entrance point the menus and the prices so that before you enter into any restaurant you know what it will cost you.

Feb. 4th to play in the Little N.H.L. Tournament. They came home Consolation Champions. ~After a poor start in the first game, which they lost 9 to 0 to Oak- wood, the boys settled down to play some good hockey. In the second game against Newcastle, Cartwright looked like a different hockey team but after missing quite a few good chances, Newcastle - went | - ahead 1 to 0. Paul Larmer got that one back shortly after on .a good effort. Cartwright still were having trouble putting the puck in the net although they were carrying the play. New- castle then went ahead 2 to 1 in the third period. Dave Ma. thison tied it up just before the period ended after Cartwright had the pressure on for some time. ~ A five minute overtime period was then played and Larry Cooke scored on an unassisted | break to give Cartwright a 3 to 2 win, : In the third game against Orono for the Consolation Championship, Cartwright had two boys take penalties a few seconds apart, early in the game. The three penalty kill- ers dug in, and Orono didn't get a shot on the net. Later on in the period Orono went ahead 1 to 0. Larry Cooke tied it up on another unassisted break for a nice goal. In the second period Orono again went ahead 2 to 1. Cartwright kept the pressure on but couldn't score until Dave Mathison fin. ally tied it from a scramble in front of the net with two min- utes left to-play. overtime period. Dave Mathi- son scored with 1 minute left to play in overtime to. give Cartwright a very exciting win.
