R Empire of Water And Isles Ready for - 1940 Rediscovery Province of Ontario Known for Beauty and Boating Facilities TORONTO, June 1.— Ontario. where the paddle and the quill wrote early North American his- tory through a sweeping wilderness of interlocking water trails, will again this summer have its water empire rediscovered from steamer decks, yachts, sailboats, motor launclies and canoes. The vacationist can view Ontario through the eyes of a mariner, with his diary a logbook recording the sweeping romance of magnificent lakes, rivers, straits and indented bays, as the Great Lakes bounda- ries with the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers make the province virtually an island with a water area greater than the size of the British Isles. Added to its kingdom of waterways are the canals from which the Great Lakes go to the sea creating the quaint canal towns with an atmosphere akin to old- time coaching days, and the “water gate” and “water street” crowds ever remindful of “here comes the mules” and “here comes the news,” before the age of steam. 01d Field-Stone Houses. Tn rural Ontario are the quaint old field-stone houses, recalling the | f spirit of pioneer days when the province was Canada’s real West. Atmosphere and story seem to radi- ate from the windows where within are the hand-loomed woven carpets, piece-patterned bedquilts and old English and Colonial furniture. En- tering Canada from the Niagara Falls district, which is one of the 24 bridge or ferry Ontario and the United States, are the shorelined bays of the Niagara Peninsula washed by Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. A short distance north of Toronto, famed as the “clear sky region,” by its elevation of 1,000 feet, are the 800 lakes and 400 islands of the Muskoka lakes, known as the “Eng- lish lake district of Canada,” by its beauty and boating activities, fine hotels and resorts. Numerous rivers feed the lake chain with steamer transportation linking the Lakes of Muskoka, Joseph and Ros- seau. Directly northeast is the Lake of Bays, famed for its canoeing on its many miles of tributary streams through Fairy Lake north to Lake Vernon. The many Kawartha lakes are divided into an eastern and western group, with steamer service through both the falls and island sections. Land of 48,000 Islands. Continuing north, yet barely 50 miles from Toronto, is beautiful Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching district, with the Magnetawan River containing Grand Manitoulin, one of the largest fresh-water islands in the world. To the north are the south shore towns of the 200 miles of blue water country, the 30,000 island archipelego of the Georgia Bay. Summer steamers criss-cross the broad waters and parallel a shoreline where literally 48,000 islands have been counted from the North Channel to Georgian Bay Island National Park. Further north is Pickerel River, the French River and Lake Nipissing, the latter as- sociated with the Port of Callander, home of the famous quintuplets. Entering Canada through the Thousand Islands to Kingston, where first the Indians, then the French, then the British gave the | historic town its three steps in his- tory, tradition and development, the trails lead north to the Haliburton Highlands, the scene of the Trent Waterways, with the famed Rideau Lakes, which are a part of the great | Canal system, connecting Ottawa | with Kingston, to the mouth of the | 8t. Lawrence River. Large bodies of water for yachting | and canoeing, with the enchanting beauty of sparkling big lakes, are to be found in the Timagami Provincial Park of 1,600 islands. Here beauti- ful Lake Timagami of 100 miles area is a monarch to a gorgeous cluster of lakes and rivers vying in water links between | ESORTS.

The giant sahuaro cacti are in bloom! | These sentinels of the Arizona | desert grow exclusively in Uncle | Sam’'s youngest State, and for 10 months of the year stand in somber majesty, presenting perpendicular contrast to desert horizons. In the late spring, however, at the tips of the great hornlike arms, Giant Sahuaro Cacti Bloom Again in Arizona Desert THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTOV D.

The sight is an annual treat to travelers from all parts of the world. The giant cacti (“Cereus gigant- eous”) will be found everywhere on the deserts in the southern and cen- tral parts of the State, particularly in the vicinity of the capital city of Phoenix. Growing to heights of from 20 to 50 feet, they have been known to live to the ripe old age of 650 years!

Parts of this scenic road are hewn out of solid granite, the highway | even tunneling through rocky ledges along the shore of Shoshone Lake. Further on the Shoshone Canyon opens into a broad valley sheltering | some of the West's best-known dude | ranches, famous for the virgin| beauty of the surrounding Absaroka Range. Friends of the late Col. Cody re- late that the noted frontiersman, | after ranging over the entire Rocky | | Mountain region, chose the Absa- | rokas and the Shoshone River Val- ley as the most beautiful spot of all. Ocean City to Stage Boat Parade June 9 OCEAN CITY, Md., June 1.—The | annual boat parade, inaugurated two years ago, has proved so popular it | is now a regular feature of this resort’s gala events and will again | be staged this year, on Sunday, June 9. Last season more than 100 charter fishing boats and private pleasure craft took part in the spectacular display. The commandant of the local Coast Guard station has been named parade marshal and will have full charge of the maneuvers, using a Coast Guard cutter as a flagship. | Dog Carts to Market QUEBEC, June 1.—Ten years ago the Quebec government banned dog- | drawn carts on Quebec’s highways but even official condemnation could not drive this method of transporta- | tion out of existence. The dog carts still drive to market, although the; go along the byways instead of th highways and dog-drawn milk carts are still a familiar sight in the eastern sections of the province. £ EAMSH MOST SCENIC REGION OF THE GREAT LAKES Enjoy & week on the popular 8. 8, Georgian, visiting the mountainous wonderland of the North Channel and Georgian Bay. $76.90 from Washington All-Ezpense §-Day Cruige including round trip rail fare to Detroit Leave Detroit every Saturday commenc- ing June 29th.

Most of these movies take the visitor into the picturesque lives of the fisher-folk of Brittany, the agriculturalists, the rugged moun- taineers, the fun-loving pedple along the Riviera, and the adventure- hungry American can share within one hour, from his seat in the thea- ter, all sorts of unusual travel ex- periences, such as he searches for on his trips abroad. Timely news reels, including war scenes from the front, will be shown each week, just as they come from France. With a breath-taking realism the visitor is whisked from the moun- tain peaks of the Alps, with snow- crested peaks sparkling in the sun- light, to the storm-tossed Atlantic coast, where in a little Brittany fish- ing village the women sit and pray on the rocks for the safe return of the fishing fleet. One can watch the tide rise and fall as the little boats are tossed against the ngarby wharf. From the quiet beauty of a dim cloister, built in the Middle Ageg, or from the walls of ancient Carca=- sonne so old its history is lost, with- in a few seconds one can browse imaginatively among the bookstalls in Paris as the busy Seine weaves its story of industry with the many boats that hurry on their way up and down the waters of this famous river, with the Ile de France, the oldest part of Paris, watching the world rush past.
