Preliminary pointers indicate the summer was far from an over-all business disaster even though some individual enter- prises suffered severely. The department of lands and forests estimates vehicle per- mit sales for entry into provin- cent to the end of August over the same period last year and camping permit sales were up two per cent, The St. Lawrence Parks om- mission, which operates a string of 11 camping sites and three other parks from the Bay of Quinte to the Quebec border, recorded a slight increase in visitors to Sept. 7--2,057,904 this The commission's two big his-| toric-site draws --- Old Fort) Henry at Kingston and Upper Canada Village near Morris- burg--both had slightly fewer visitors. Fort Henry visitors dropped to 180,959 from 182,143 and visitors to the village de- clined to 192,210 from 200,766. PATTERN VARIES Elsewhere, the pattern of profit and loss varied. Resort facilities dependent on transient trade generally suffered. But many lodges, which get the bulk of their business through advance reservations, did as well or better than last year. The regional supervisor of tourism for Muskoka, Dennis) Stone, says the cold weather hit some lodges but others had a good year. Marinas suffered > Huntsville district were up this summer over last. "The summer was equal to or better than last year," says Mrs, Harold Chapman of Kitch- ener, who helps her husband manage Golden Pheasant Lodge on Fairy Lake near Huntsville. "Bookings.in the middie two weeks of August were as heavy as in the last two weeks of July." But Robert Harvey,Jr. , of Tall Pines Inn in Haliburton, says he was hit when the transi- ent trade dried up in August. At Sparrow Lake, north of Or- illia, five lodges were com- pletely vacant through one week . Cottage owners at Sauble Beach on Lake Huron say ren- tals fell off drastically in the middle two weeks of August when space is, usually at a premium. reported a 30-per-cent increase in business this summer over last and the manager of nearby Drawbridge Inn, J. A. Pleas- ance, says his business dou- bled. A common note amid mixed reports from around the prov- ince is that fewer Americans ventured into the province dur- jing the chilly weather.

Closed down four years ago by Eldorado Mining and Refin- ing Ltd., the mining camp and equipment is being re-opened by Echo Bay Mines Ltd., an Edmonton-based firm. The company scouted the property on the east coast of Great Bear Lake two: years ago and decided that increasing sil- ver: prices made the venture promising. A royalty agreement was signed with Eldorado and Echo began developing the site. It was the second reprieve for} the centre, first opened in the 19302 by Consolidated Mining and Smelting Ltd., as the conti- nent's: first radium mine. After a brief closure, it was re-opened during the 1940s as a wu mine and its products b- uted to the development of the first atomic bomb, BEGAN IN. 19308 The silver development was started at Cross Fault Lake, a mile from Port Radium, when the mine first opened in the 1930s.

CATHARINES (CP) -- A St. Catharines woman who said she avoids looking at her dis- figured face in mirrors as much as possible shared an $83,419 damage award Tuesday with her male companion, Mrs, Patricia Botsford. 31, in- jured in a two-car collision here June 14, 1963, was awarded gen- eral damages of $16,300 and spe- cial damages of $1,275 by a 12- man Ontario Supreme Court jury. Ivan Zuzek,-33,-of Beamsville, -- Ont., driver of the car in which she was injured, was awarded $61,600 general and $4,244 spe- cial damages. Mrs, Botsford, a divorcee and mother of an 11-year-old girl, said she went through the wind- shield of the car in the colli- sion and also suffered broken ribs, a broken foot bone and concussion, She said she is always con- scious of the scars on her face and still has periodic head- aches. She hoped to have plas- tic surgery done on her face, Zuzek suffered hip injuries which doctors said would prob- ably make further surgery nec. essary and result in a perman- ent limp. Co - defendents in the case were Denis W, Fenton, 21, and his stepfather, Ralton Moore, of St. Catharines, Calvin Seeks Visa To U.S. VANCOUVER (CP) Cal- vin MacDonald, who claims to have worked for more than 10 years as an RCMP undercover. agent. in the Communist party, has applied to emigrate to the United States. Mr. MacDonald, and a woman he said was his wife, walked into the United States consular office here Tuesday to seek political asylum in the U.S. He said he was seeking asylum from "political persecu- tion" by the Canadian govern- ment. However, when he emerged from the consular office about half an hour later, he said the U.S. consul here does not have the power to hear his plea for political asylum--that only the U.S. embassy in Ottawa can do that. Instead of seeking political asylum, he said they will at- tempt to enter the United States as immigrants. Mr, MacDonald came into prominence three weeks ago when David Cowlishaw, head of an organization called - Under- dog, tossed a carton of beef blood on the Commons floor in Ottawa. He said he did this to draw attention to MacDonald' who wants the government to acknowledge he was an RCMP agent.
