PETERS Well now let's see, no parade last this summer. = Summer 'orms are now in style, and that means no more buttons to shine. , Spring fever can't have had much effect on the cadets, most of them seem to be working. Maybe not hard but with more ambition than they have in school, I'll wager. Oh yes school, the best year of our lives, s0 they say; the dread results will be out this week-end, if I am not mistaken. Who was the joker who try, try again?" Time on my hands and nothing to say. I will fill in space by wish- ing my friend, Ted Donald, a happy birthday. "Happy Birthday, Ted." It seems that the clothing indus- hag suffered a terrible loss, and that an Oshawa electrician has made a gain. Ong of the cadets, the "Wizard of the Wireless", has found 'himself a new job. Good luck, old tey, and after being in cadets for as long as you have I don't suppose you will be shocked by. anything you contact in the electrical world.

An Export Business Although some do not realize it, the tourist businéss is an export business. Over 14 million tourists from the United States visited On- tario last year and over four mil- lion autos from there crossed the border. That is big business, declar- ed the speaker, who went on to say that if these tourists only stayed in Canada 24 hours it would mean, among other things, they would consume 3% million cans of tomato juice, 3% million quarts ef milk, 500 tons of cereal, 100,000 hogs, and six million loaves of bread. Explaining that last year the tourist business was only exceeded in importance by the pulp and pap- er business, Mr, Welsh said only 40 complaints of poor treatment had been received by the department. "The success of the tourist busi- ness depends upon satisfying the customer. If he is satisfled with the treatment he received he will come back with his family and bring his friends. These free exchanges of visits across the border are respon- sible for the growth of better feeling ada, For that reason we must be courteous to the visitors within our boundaries," the minister said. With regard to the promotion of winter vacations in Canada, the, speaker said there were thousands in the southern states who no doubt would like to ski snowshoe and see hockey games. An instance of the progress made in this direction was the rapid growth of the Northum- berland County Ski Club at Co- bourg. At Sudbury, where skiing was not very popular at one time, the largest meet on the North American continent was held last winter. Tours for Newspapermen The Hon. Mr. Welsh also referred to the tours arranged each year for members of the press from various states to the south. From ° these tours Ontario is getting publicity she would not otherwise secure. Photo albums, newspaper mats and moving picture films are also being supplied to these newspapermen. "Phe tourist not only affects the operators of tourist resorts, but also the farmer on the back concession and the merchant on the main street," he continued. . Attention was also drawn to th many undeveloped areas in the north. Mr. 'Welsh said that on an airplane trip to Manitoulin Island last summer he had counted. 50 planes on various lakes. It was his belief that this was but the begin- ning of a vast development as viel ors would not have to wait for the opening up of roads. ' The Minister was introduced by Rotarian T. K.

The text of the letter follows: June 21, 1947, Salonica Dear Mary Dzumara: "In taking the liberty of writing to you when I know little or noth- ing about you, I can only hope, and sincerely believe, that you will forgive me. you may be inclined to feel. (and I cannot blame you), that I have written in such a way merely to gain your sympathy as a means to inciting you to grant my request. However, as in prayer to God, so in writing to you, I feel that it is my duty first of all to proffer my gratitude for past privileges and gifts granted to my fellow country- men and myself before requesting anything of you as individuals. Therefore I wish to express to you and all the people that reside in your great country, my admiration and profound gratitude for the way in which you have so unselfishly sa- crificed so much for the less for- tunate peace-loving countries of the world and especially for my own be- loved homeland Greece. "Already we can' feel the benefit of your last generous grant, i.e, the loan of cash to this country. The shops are filled almost to their glor- fous pre-war capacity but alas, the rations of clothing and food are still far too inadequate and only the very rich can -enjoy the necessities that pre-war standards made avail- able to the poorer families. It is because I am a member of one such family that I find myself able, with out losing my pride, to call for help because we are ruined . ... during the occupation, "We in Greece will always be in- debted to you and Great Britain for the blood sacrificed by your loved ones all over the world in order that we may be freed from the barbarous enemy who loosed Ais callous, robot-like hordes against our unprepared nation seven years ago. It was because that we knew |in our hearts that you would not, "When you have read this letter and could not lose what we were fighting for that we were able to endure the crushing heel of the merciless enemy for so long. "So it is that I find that I am able, shamelessly, to beg of you that if you have any old clothes, dresses, sheets, etc., please do not throw them away but kindly parcel them up and send them to us; we are 50 badly in need of such articles and cannot possibly afford to buy | them. Our family consists of my Mother who is 60 years old, Helen my daughter, 14 years old, Aleck my son, eight, Costa my husband 35 years old who is serving with the Greek Army at the present. Please answer us. We shall think of you as our benefactor, "Hoping that this request will meet with your sincere and sym-« pathetic approval, "I am, a grateful and faithful frend . .

Stiff necks and goggle eyes were.the order of the day. Sky watching was a' new profession. Tabulators quickly figured. Forty- one states and at least three Cana- dian provinces had joined the disc brigade since the objects first were reported June 25. Explanations? Take your choice: They were radio-controlled flying missiles sent aloft by United States military scientists. Or they were merely light reflected on wing tanks of jet-propelled planes. Or-- No one knew for sure. The World Inventors Congress posted $1,000 for delivery.of a flying disc to the exposition which opens in Los Angeles on July 11. . A spokesman for the Army Alr Forces sajd in Washington that no attempt had been made to spot the discs by radar because there was not enough equipment to blanket the nation. Lt. Col. Harry W. Schaefer of the Wisconsin Civil Air Patrol announc- ed in Milwaukee his group planned to conduct a series of mass flights in hopes of learning something about the flying objects. Says Egotists Cause Accidents Toronto, July 8--(CP)--Motorists 'who consider themselves good dri- vers because they have never had an accident and assume they never will have one contribute greatly to the volume of traffic accidents, Ar- thur Rowan, chief of the Ontario Department of Highways' recording division, said last night.

Bleeding to Death Of Continent Must Warning | London, July 8 (AP)--Foreign Secretary Bevin said today the Marshall program of American aid "may yet make the biggest contribution to the unity of the peoples of "There is a prospect and a very happy prospect now of rope on an economic basis," Bevin told the Rotary Club in Wands. worth, his working-class constitu. ency. "If built upon rightly and worked out properly, it may yet make the biggest contribution to the unity of the peoples of Europe." Bevin declared that the. Marshall offer, predicated on American as- sistance in the economic restoration of European countries which work together to help themselves, was purely economic. He dismissed as political the idea for a "United States of Europe" as advocated by Winston Churchill. "Europe is bleeding to death," Bevin said, "it must be stopped, and in the stopping of it, you have got to rule out any prejudices, either religious or ideological." Later in his speech, he com. mented: > "I have heard it said . .. that the wave of a wand or political propa- ganda is needed to establish a United States of Europe and all will be well. But it is very difficult." Grace Lutheran Church Picnic Is Successful Grace Lutheran Church held a very successful congregational pic- nic at Geneva Park last Sunday.
