2 TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1951 - THE DAILY Ti MES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE Times-Gaozette Give Own Impressions 0f Their Ottawa Trip Tourist Court in the outskirts of Ottawa, we were quickly assign- ed to our various cabins. licious dinner was served in the The following stories of their three-day trip to Ottawa as guests of The Times-Gazette were written by three of the carriers along the highway towards Otta- wa. Qur first stop was at Napanee, where a sandwich lunch was de- voured by us in a matter of min- utes. On our bus, four or five of use were playing "Twenty Ques- tions!' to make the long trip more interesting. All along the high- way, the trees wer¢ at their best in beautiful colors ranging from red to gold. HISTORIC SITE Our next stop was at Old Fort Henry at Kingston, On the way through that city we drove through Carriers A de- of this newspaper who were for- tunate enough to be included in the Ottawa party: By THOMAS R. JACKSON I have just finished a trip to Ottawa, as one of The Times: Gazette carriers who got fifteen new subscribers. Those who secured thirty new starts were entitled to bring their helpers along with them on the trip, The first stop was at Old Fort Henry, an old fort just outside the city of Kingston. All around the walls are ancient cannon, In- side the fort there are many rooms and underground passages. There is a museum, an old kitch- en, an ammunition room and - many others. Some of the rooms were used to hold Nazi prisoners in the second world war. Then, on to Ottawa. When we arrived there, we had a swim in the Champagne swimming pool. The next morning, Tuesday, we saw the Royal Mint, where coins are made. Afterwards, we went to the RCMP barracks and watch- ed the recruits doing physical training. At the stables, all the friendly horses were black. AT PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS The same morning we went ot a tour of the Parliament Build- ings. We first went up the Peace Tower. When we looked down, people looked like ants, and it made us dizzy to look down on the city. A guide took us on a con- ducted tour through the buildings. We saw the House of Commons and Senate Chambers and the Library, which had well over half a million books. Then we had a delicjous dinner in the Lord Elgin Hotel. After dinner, we had the privil- ege of observing the opening of Parliament. First, a band came up with a fanfare of music, It was followed by groups from the army and navy, which went through some drill. Later on, the National Film Board showed us a film of the proceedings. GUESTS OF M.P. The War Museum, a few blocks away, had relics of the two world wars, They had everything there from horse wagons to anti-air- craft guns. Then we had an hour and a half of free time to walk around the city. This over, we had supper at the Parliament Buildings, as guests of Walter C. Thomson, M.P. Next morning, we saw the Prin- cess and the Duke. At the same time, we also saw Louis St. Laur- ent, Prime Minister of Canada and a host of other famous peo- ple, Last thing we saw was the Dominion Experimental Farm, where we enjoyed seeing the tur- keys, geese, hens and gardéns. I think that the trip was ex- tremely enjoyable. By JIM SHARPLES One of the best trips I ever en- joyed is now a thing of the past, but there remain vivid recollec- tions of the historic places we vis- ited and the many pleasant things we did. : Arriving at The Times-Gazette office early on Monday morning, all of the 55 carriers were eager to be off on this long-awaited ad- venture. The fathers and moth- ers who were there to See their children leave seemed to have sad expressions on their faces, as ~ if they wanted to go, too. Proceeding along Highway No. 2, we stopped at Napanee and had a picnic lunch supplied by The beautiful camp restaurant. After supper we went for a refreshing swim in the Champagne Pool in Ottawa. We retired that night at 11 o'clock. ' DAY OF SIGHTSEEING The next morning we were up, had breakfast and were on our way by nine o'clock. During the morn- ing we toured the Royal Mint, the RCMP Barracks and the Parlia- ment Buildings. I think the tour through the Parliament Buildings was most interesting and educa- tional, although each feature of our trip was in itself an adven- ture. ; At one o'clock we had lunch in Murray's Restaurant before re- turning to the Parliament Build- ings to see the ceremonies of the opening of Parliament. A trip through the War Museum follow- ed, after which there was time for everyone to do some shopping and buy souvenirs of Ottawa. Dur- ing the day, we also saw the Chateau Laurier, the War Memor- the grounds of Queen's University. All of the university buildings were of grey stone and were sur- rounded by plenty of trees, and they looked very impressive. The Fort itself was something to re- member. A guide, who was a uni- versity student, took us on a tour of this historical site. To most of us the name, Fort Henry, was nothing new, as back home at school we had learned of its use in the war of 1812. We stopped once more before arriving at the Green Valley Tours ist Court. This stop was made at the Ivy Lea Bridge over the Thou- sand Islands, and we had an ex- cellent view of the beautiful St. Lawrence River. At about 6 p.m. we arrived at the Green Valley, and were fed a warm meal in its luxurious dining room. After be- ing allotted our cabins, we all made off for the Champagne swimming pool. Swimming in the refreshing water was a perfect finish for the first day of our ial and the residence of the Prime | tri Minister, We then enjoyed a delicious tur- key dinner at the Parliament Buildings, our host being Walter C. Thomson, member of Parlia- ment for our riding. Later that evening, the National Film Board showed us some very interesting films. By this time everyone was tired, so we came back to the tourist court. By 11 o'clock, ev- eryone was sleeping soundly, that is, all but Ed Broadbent, John Turner and Mac Fenton, who could not help showing everyon how happy they were. . THE BIGGEST THRILL The biggest thrill was yet to come. The next morning we lined up to greet Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh. Both dressed in navy blue, they smiled and waved as the carriers cheer- ed and cameras clicked consist- ently. Immediately afterward, we went through the Dominion Ex- perimental Farm before leaving for Oshawa. Outside the City of Ottawa we stopped to eat our lunch, and al- 50 at Peterborough, where we had our supper. By this time, every- one was sleepy, but a lively sing- song put new life into the carriers for the remainder of the trip. The fired but happy gang arrived at The Times-Gazette office at 9 o'clock and spilled out of the bus, eager to get home to tell their par- ents of this 'wonderful excursion. In closing, I would like to thank The Times-Gazette for making possible this delightful yet educa- tional experience to so many boys and girls from Oshawa and dis- trict. By EDDIE BROADBENT On the morning of October 8, 1951, I, and 54 other carriers set out on a trip that I shall always remember, We had started om our journey to Canada's capital, Ottawa, We left Oshawa right on time, and were soon whizzing rip. EDUCATIONAL TOURS Next morning we went to the Mine at 9 a.m. and from there to the RCMP Barracks. There we saw the ring where the Mounties trained their horses for their fam- ous '"Musical Ride." Next on the program was a tour of the Parlia- ment Buildhgs. To me, this was the most interesting and educa- tional of all the tours. The Parlia- ment Buildings are done in Gothic architecture and look very majes- tic against the beautiful Ottawa River which is their background. We had dinner in Murray's restaurant aat the Lord Elgin Hotel, At 3 o'clock we were once more at the Parliament Buildings, and saw the Governor-General, Viscount Alexander, arrive for the opening of Parliament, He came with an escort of three motorcycle policemen. He faced the parade of servicemen, repre- senting the three forces and stood at attention for the National Anthem, and then proceeded into the Senate Chamber. A 2l-gun salute, was carried out by the army at the exact moment when 'God Save the King" stopped. The per- fect timing was amazing to one not accustomed to such -cere- monies. After the opening of Parliament we visited the Museum, then we had a free hour during which most of the carriers bought gifts to take home." We had a turkey dinner at the Parliament Buijld- ings, thanks to Walter C. Thom. son, M.P., for Ontario Riding. After this we were guests of the National Film Board, where we were shown several interesting flims. We finally got to bed be- tween 11 and 11.30 o'clock. CHEERED THE PRINCESS On Wednesday morning, we lin- ed up along the route to be taken by the Royal Couple. ing for a few minutes, we could tell by the cheering that the Prin- cess and Duke were coming near. And there they were, not 15 feet After wait- |, To 'Arbitrate' Oil Dispute Bo SR Ailing Prime Minister was rumored in UN, circles that Lie party" to bring Iranian and British representatives together for another attempt to settle their oil dispute before the matter goes to the U.N, for debate. ohammed Mossadegh of Iran is seen in bed at hospital in New York as he receives Trygvie Lie, secretary general of the United nations, and Nazrollah Entezam, right, Iranian ambassador to the U.S. and currently president of the UN, General Assembly, It might offer his services as a "third ~Central Press Canedian, away, Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh in a beautiful Cadillac convertible.

Following this display of splendor we went on a tour of the Experimental Farm. We had a sandwich lunch out- side of Ottawa and then headed for home. - We stopped at Peter- borough for supper at a restaur- ant. Although most of us were very tired, we arrived in Oshawa, sing- ing and cheering,' at 8.45 o'clock. Most hurried home, some to sleep, others to keep Mom and Dad awake half the night listening to the story of their wonderful trip to Canada's capital, Ottawa.

Curiosity Kills Horse --Not Cat Denfield, Ont, (CP) -- Curiosity | killed a horse on the farm of Frank Stanley and led to injury of a cow, which came along later. A high wind blew open the doors of farmer Stanley's barn and a foraging troop of cows and horses wandered into the building. One of the horses went into the granary, smashed through the floor and wound up straddling a cross- beam, It was followed by a cow which also fell through the granary floor. Neighbors with tractors and chains assisted Mr. Stanley in free- ing the cow but the horse was stuck tight and had to be shot.

Dr, Lee's method works the same as electric logs in wells already drilled, But he claims to be able to tell by the electrical resistivity method in advance of any drilling whether any gases or oil are pres- ent, With an imposing scientific re- cord behind him, Dr. Lee is be- ginning to attract considerable at- tention in Alberta where the loca- tion of stratigraphic traps is still a hit or miss proposition.
