It would be a mistake, though to plan their itinerary as if they were not human and with the human curiâ€" osity for the unusual. The purpose of their visit will scarcely have been served if they see nothing but what they have seen before. Cities are much the same the world over and little would be gained by confining their visit to these places. Indeed, the only genuine excuse for Their Majesties visitâ€" ing cities at all is not that the King and Qucen may see the cities but that _ the loyal subjects of the cities may have a chance to see their King and Queen. Although they have travelled widely, Ontario has something to show them that they have not seen beforeâ€"the Dionne Quintuplets. iIf is not necessary to say that the quintuplets are all or the greatest of what Canada can show them. Literally thousands of visiting tourists have said: "I could not without shame return home and say I had holidayed in Canada without seeing the famous quintuplets." Surely the King and Queen are not to be given less consideration than ordinâ€" ary tourists allow themselves. If there is newspaper controversy in regard to the matter of the quintuplets, there does not apâ€" to be any in reference to the fact that the North should be included in the tour. Only two weak excuses are offered for the ignoring of the North. The one is the bromide about it being imâ€" possible to visit every place. With so much loud talk recently about the paramount importance of the North, it seems absurd to neglect this land. The other excuseâ€"or replyâ€"or what you willâ€"is to the effect that the oversight can not be reâ€" medied as the routing can not be changed.

First there was the itinerary which actually igâ€" nored the most important points of interest. in the country. Next there was the announcement by Prime Minister Mackenzie King that during the tour of Canada the King and Queen were not to be subjected to addresses of welcomeâ€""exâ€" cept at Ottawa." It would have been easier on Their Majesties to listen to addresses every plaee â€"‘"except Ottawa." Ottawa is the place where they think nothing of making speceches lasting three or four hours. tinental railway and the T. N. O. Railway, with a stop at one important town. Citizens from other centres could easily go by the hundreds to the one place of call. Such a route would mean a stop at North Bay. In such a case it would be a simple matter, surely, to assure the King and Queen a glimpse of the five most famous children in the world today. "If the mountain will not come to Mohamet, then Mohamet will go to the mountain." If it is not possible for the King and Queen to go and see the Dionne quintuplets, why not have the quintuplets go to see the King and Queen. All that is necessary to bring all this about is a reasâ€" onable change in the itineraryâ€"a change that need not take up any more of the â€"time of Their Majesties, and that will allow the royal tour to pass through @a new section of most interesting and valuable country that is not duplicated elseâ€" where. id AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER 1€ approxiin tha it itst step in his summetr . of Highy )inpielte groun and rod oronto for Mil ng of the linr ) meant a proâ€" truction of this and Timmins, hat it could be Crogama an n readiness fc 11 1€ resent official Mtiinc oad rind 11 i base have t it to estadâ€" this route," y. ~2Bu6 11 {ting is deâ€" survey wa HOGn. ‘E; PC to tht hways stree many proâ€" 111 La 11 t3 win ol beâ€" hn REMUS‘ NEW Sm January Special Unable to Prove $360 Stolen by Girl Friend Tells Dramatic Tale of How He Lost Savings of Four Months.
