6 CANADA APPEALING cveracan, smsroms s woron AS VACATON LAND Dominion Government Pre- pares Series of Articles, First _of Which Appears Today. E Note: Below is the first of a series of erticles pertaining to Canada as a ve- cation iand that has been prepared by the National Development Bureau. De- partment of the Interior, at Oftawq. Each_week until the series is completed an_article in these pages depicting in @ gemeral way the attractions of each of the Provinces will appear. This week a brie/ description_is given of Canada as a whole and mext week a short but in- Teresting outline on the vacational possi- bilities of Prince Edward Isiand will de printed. Among the many changes in modern life perhaps the greatest are those re- sulting from the development of the automobile as a means of transporta- tion. From the chaise and the stage coach to the railway was a great ad- wvance, but greater was the advance from the railway to the automobile, with its freedcm of action and radius of travel, limited only by the existence of roads.! Hence it results that regions of North America formerly visited only by the adventurer and explorer are now acces- sible to the private citizen. i Innumerable views and beautiful | country hitherto known to the average citizen only by repute are now within | reach of the motorist. He may visit curious, pretty, old-time hamlets, his-| toric sites and forgotten places, aside from the main trail. In fact, it is practically impossible to obtain this inti- mate knowledge of the country except| by means of the automobiie. from the forest road, one sees the beau- tiful valley, extending for miles, with its fields of various colors and groups of farms. Or, mounting a hill, there flashes upon one the wide, open sea with snowy sails. Or, if among the mountains, one passes through & narrow defile and there opens a boundless scene of mountain valley flanked by ranges of serrated heights, and beyond still loftier snow-capped heights and the gleam of a distant glacler. Beauty Untouched. Canada is a land in which the ‘wance of civilization has not the original beauty of nature. its greatest charms are the ad- yed ong long stretches of beautiful open country, Jn- | terspersed with forests and wood Ios, rivers and lakes. Everywhere the pros- pect is pleasing to the eye. In the n maritime provinces beautiful fields andi/ valleys under rich cultivation, with his- toric towns and hamlets, are bordered by long stretches of seacoast, sandy breaches or frowning cliffs, whence may be had exquisite views of the ocean. Proceeding inland by the St. Lawrence Valley, the famous scenery of that river, bordered by the blue Laurentian high- lands on the north and west and the distant Appalachian Range with the Notre Dams Mountains of Gaspe on ‘he east and south, forms a constantly changing picture of rare beauty. Pas- toral and agricultural land, interspersed with frequent cities of the Ontario Peninsula, borders the Great Lakes from Sault Ste. Marie eastward, and from the lake shore roads of this province most extensive views of these inland, seas may be ward to the Rocky Mountains the unique beauty of the great plains, with their countless flowers or fields of grain, unbounded save by the horizon, presents an inspiring sight, and for wonderful Emerging | had.

Leading Into Romantic Sec- tion of Massachusetts. | The western part of Massachusetts | from the Connecticut line to the Ver- mont line has long been famous as a region of great scenic charm. This section is known as the Berkshire Hills, which are part of the great Ap- palachian Mountain _Range, ich stretches across the Eastern part of the country. These hills are very dif- ferent in character, however, from the | rest of the range. Their charm is unique; and in atmosphere they re- | semble the lake country of England far more than they do the Appalachian or the White Mountains, which they | link together. A trip up to the Berkshire Hills is one of real enjoyment and the urge to Teturn several times a year always re- mains. The region is ideal, Spring, Summer and Fall. JIn this article the Automobile Club | of America has outlined various routes | not only from New York City into the| Berkshire Hills for short week end | trips, but also routes from other parts of N England so that motorists can | also pln to include this region in their | itineraries when making their usual | vacation trip. Adtractive New York Route. From New York one round trip that motorist will find attractive is to follow the Albany Post road, Route No. 9, owt of the city and north along the Hudson River through Yonkers, Tarrytown, Peekskill, Pough- keepsie, Red Hook, Hudson and East | | | | mountain scenery, with magic lakes and | Greenbush into Troy.

Mary Government Parks. ‘While large parts of Canada may be described as natural parks awaiting fu- ture development, the national parks now under control of the Dominion and the provincial governments aggregate mbout 27,000 square miles. Of these parks the Rocky Mountains Park, situ- | ated partly in British Columbia and partly in_Alberta, and the Kootenay National Park, in British Columbia, are accessible for automobiles. It would be difficult to find more beautiful and majestic scenery than one beholds in these mountain parks, where nature preserves her rugged primeval beauty.| the Although the large provincial parks of Ontatio and Quebec are chiefly wild lake and forest land, not as yet opened for automobile, there are extensive tracts of lake land in these provinces and in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia ‘which can be reached by automobile— virtual parks in natural beauty, favor- ite resorts of the hunter, fisherman, canoeist and camper. Good Summer Climate. Not the least of Canada’s attractions for the motorist is the excellent Sum- mer climate prevailing throughout the land. The air is pure and buoyant, and often laden with sweet-scented per- fumes from forest and fleld. The tem- perature, while subject to the inevitable heat waves of Summer in the interior, as a rule pleasantly moderate throughout Canada. On the Atlantic coast the heat of Summer is always tempered by cool ocean breezes. The clearness and dryness of the atmo- &phere produce the most beautiful skies, by day of deepest blue, with snowy clouds drifting by, and by night a maze of innumerable stars. Autumn espe- Clally is most attractive, for then the Gool breezes of evening and morning are invigorating and the country pretty Wwith gorgeous colors. The highways of Canada are planned and constructed on scientific principles, l'il;ld are intended to reach and maintain e standard of efficiency required for the modern vehicle. , In the construction of modern high- ways in Canada not only have the method of construction and material Ysed received scientific treatment, witn a view toward standardization, but in gelecting the right of way the needs of the tourist and general motorist have been considered in order to insure easy: gradients, safety and picturesque views. | Many of the Canadian highways are Ynsurpassed in the beautiful scenery which they disclose to the motorist of Geean, lake and stream. of mountains, | walleys and plai As far as possible a uniform method has been adopted | roughout Canada of informing and warning traffic by direction and danger Sgnals at railway crossings, hills and ourves. Motor camp sites under super- &lvsion, having all the requisites for tourists’ comfort, are now general Roadhouses at convenient sites may be found everywhere, together with repair and service stations, and the tourist ay expect courteous and hospitable treatment wherever he goes. ‘ Read maps and information regard- ing various motor trips in Canada may Be obtained upon request from the Na- tional Development Bureau, Department of the Interior, Ottawa, Canada. Hard To Understand ‘Why the drive around Potommac Park ‘was ever called the Speedway. | Why the news that you are in the market for a_new car becomes known fo every dealer in town within 24 hours. ‘Why many motorists break the speed itions only to have to wait longer a green signal light to appear. : ‘Why drivers will go so fast on a cyrve or turn 30 as to wear off a part of the yubber on their tires ‘Why automobiles are advertised f. o. b. the factory and all other articles of $ale are not. . Why some advertisements describi new invention on a machine are worded that the reader has no idea as #» what it is all about. This road has been opened only a few years and is_an extremely scenic drive. Then from Willlamstown the Mohawk Trail, opened late last Fall, after being under construction all Summer, may again be taken to Greenfield. The beauty of this far-famed trail is well known. From Greenfield turn south l]nn&l the Connecticut River Valley into South Deerfield. Cross the river here into Sunderland amd run via Hillsboro into Ambherst, the home of the college of the same name and also of the Mas- sachusetts Agriculture College. From Ambherst run through Hadley and across the river again into Northampton, the home of Smith College, and then over Berkshire Trail through Leeds, Windsor and Dalton into Pittsfleld. From Pittsfleld turn south through the of the Berkshire re rington into Canaan, Conn. From here run over to Norfolk, then through South Norfolk into To; , and down the Naugatuck Valley into Water- bury, from here through Naugatuck and Derby into New Haven, and then home along the Post Road via Bridge- D‘Inhl. Norwalk, Stamford and Green- wicl Another Scenic Route. Another scenic route and one that is very popular leading into the Berk- shire Hills lies out from New York along the Albany Post Road as before up to Poughkeepsie, and there turns inland through Pleasant Valley and Mill- brook into Amenia, and then through Sharon, Lakesville, to Salisbury, and | then up the Under Mountain road into South Egremont and over to Great Barrington. This route could be used instead of the one to Troy, and_the motorist could run from Great Bar- rington up through Stockbridge, Lenox, Pittsfield and past Pontoosuc Lake to ‘Williamstown. ~ Here one could, ac- cording to individual .desires, turn either westward for the trip to Troy over the Taconic Trail and back to New York along the Hudson River, or east- ward over the Mohawk Trall through North Adams, Charlemont and Shel- bourne Falls to Greenfield, thea down through Amherst to Northampton, and down the College Highwdy to New gx;n and back to the Boston Post Another extension of the trip that could be made would be to go from Greenfield eastward along Route 2| through Millers Falls and Orange and Athol to Templeton. The motorist who has left Troy or Willlamstown in the morning and taken a leisurely trip over| the Mohawk Trail, stopping often at the various summits and other interesting points along the way, will ind Temple-| ton an ideal place to spend the night. The next morning one can retrace al-| most to Athol and then go south on Route 32 through Petersham, Barre, Hardwick and Ware to Palmer on Route 20. There is little travel on this road, and the scenery through here is excep- tionally beautiful, as the route runs | | famous —Lenox, Stockbridge and Great ~ | be do; along a ridge and there are extended| views on_both sides of the road. PFrom Palmer run along Route 20 into Springfield, and then along Jacob's Lad- der through Westfield and Huntington as far as West Becket. From here turn south and go down through New Bos- ton into Winsted, and then through Torrington into Waterbury and through | the Naugatuck Valley into Stratford, and then along the Post road through Brideport and Greenwich back to the city. Tour From Boston. Running out of Boston there are two main roads leading over into the Berk- shire Hills. The more northern of the two lies over the Mohawk Trail route— Route 2—running out by way of Lex- ington, Concord, Littleton Common, | Fitchburg, Templeton, Athol, Orange | and Millers Falls to Greenfleld, then througt. Shelburne Falls, Charlemont and North Adams to Willlamstown, at the head of the Berkshire region. ‘The second route is out across Massa- chusetts via Route 20 through Weston, Marlboro, Worcester to Brookfield. From here there is a choice of routes. One| is to leave Route 20 and run via Route | 109 through Ware, Amherst, Northamp-| ton and over the Berkshire Trail through Leeds, Windsor and Dalton to Pittsfield; and the other is to continue| along Route 20 through Warren, Pal- mer, Springfield, to West Springfield, | and then over Jacob's Ladder into East Lee, where the right fork leads to Len- nox and the left fork to Stockbridge. ‘The motorist on the Cape who wants to go over into the Berkshires will find an ideal route lies from Buzzards Bay out through New Bedford; then, instead of going through Fall River, turn down | over a good road running via Darmouth, | Central Village and Adamsville up to| Tiverton, then over to Portsmouth and| over the Mount Hope Bridge to Bristol, | and thence up to Providence by way of | Warren and Barrington, From Provi- dence Route 6 can be followed through Danielson, Willimantic to Hartford, then along Route 17 through Avon, Canton, Winsted and Norfolk to Ca- naan, and up through Sheffield to Great n. Another route from Provi- dence would be to go along Route 108 up to Woonsocket, then to Worcester | via Route 122, and from here either route described above, leading either into the Berkshire Trail or Jacob's Lad- der, may be used. TIME HELD PROPITIOUS FOR OVERHAULING AUTO Reservicing of Cooling BSystem Buggested by Rudolph Jose, Veteran Dealer. Now is an excellent time to have fan, fan belt, radiator, water pump and hose connections inspected and serviced, ac- cording to Rudolph Jose, veteran mo- tor car dealer. Mr. Jose points out that the hottest season of the year lies before the local automobile driver and that unless the entire cooling system of the car is op- erating efficiently serious damage may n e. Motorists are advised by Mr. Jose to have the whole system checked over by a capable maintenance department. A weak fan belt, he says, should be re- placed immediately. ‘The fan itself should be inspected to see that it is blowing a full volume of air over the motor and that it is properly adjusted. ‘The radiator should be flushed out at frequent intervals, and if there is a suspicion of stoppage this unit should be “boiled out.” The water pump should be tested to see that it is operating efii- clently and the packing replaced if nec- If there is the slightest doubt that the hose connections are weak and worn, they should be replaced also, Mr. | Jose says. ROAD WORK ADVANCES Highway Improvements on Pacific Progress North and South. LOS ANGELES, Callf., August 9.— Definite and ssive work on the &wposed international Pacific highway proceeding actively at both ends of the North American continent, accord- ing to an announcement by the Auto- mobile Club of Southern California. Coincident with the recent blazing of the trail from Hazleton, British Colum- bia, to the boundary line of Alaska comes the news from Washington that the United States Government is open- ing a fleld office in Panama to co-oper- ate with the governments of the Cen- tral American countries in making sur- veys to determine the most desirable route for the proposed longest highway In the world. Transportation Meeting Scheduled. Based upon the interest displayed at the Toronto meeting last year, more than 1,000 traffic men and engineers, motor truck and motor coach operators are expected to attend the annual national transportation meeting of the Soclety of Automotive Engineers to be h!ldd in Pittsburgh, October 322, 23 b g but evidently this was his desire when he fled upon of unpleasant {emporarily transferred their lw-making to this church.

Representative Average. What is believed, however, to be a fairly accurate and representative aver- age has been determined by the Amer- ican Motorists’ Association in con- Jjunction with the Automobile Club of Southern California. The trip, just made during the months of June and July, was from Los Angeles, Calif., via the Southern route to Washington, New York, Boston and return via Niagara, through Canada to Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Zion National Park, thence to Los Angeles. There were three in the party, using a six-cylinder automobile, six months old, costing ap- proximately $1,500. In the smaller cities the best of hotel accommodations were secured, while in the larger cities medium-priced hotels were used. ‘The carefully kept log of the trip over the 9,170-mile route, showed the beige and Kewanee green with gray| delegates of the American republics to | following results: olive green.” | Colors pointed to as gaining in ac-| ceptance are referred to by the Index| as follows: “Interlaken blue, Haverhill brown, pine forest green, Neenah gray nd Ascot maroon are outstanding col- ors among the newly popular, clear, leep values of strong, distinctive chromas. Each of these shades can be effectively combined with black mold- ings and fenders.” Excepting One Thing. From the Wheel. Mose—How fas’ can you all go in dat new car?
