BACK FROM ONTARIO
The Herald Editor has returned from
a 12-day tour of the- Province of Ontario,
Canada. How he ever survived such a fast
pace is a mystery.
After being’ served four full meals each
of the first two days after assembling with
29 other U. S. Editors for the 12th Good
Will Tour of Ontario, the pace slowed to
the three meals a day with an occasional
tea for fear the group would not make it
out for the evening meal.
The Herald Editor flew to International
Falls, Minn., and took a taxicab across the
border to Fort Frances, Ontario. The group
assembled for breakfast the morning of
June 18 and it was a continued round of
traveling and eating until the group ad-
journed at midnight June 29.
There were 2,000 miles of traveling from
Fort Frances to Niagara Falls, where the
editors stayed at the famous Sheraton
Hotel facing the international (Rainbow)
bridge and the falls.
This trip through Ontario was made
through the courtesy of the Department
of Travel and Publicity. There was enter-
tainment that would have not been possible
for the average tourist—such as visiting
the speaker’s office of the House of Com-
mons in Ottawa. He talked informally to
the group about the way of conducting
parliament. The speaker seemed to be
quite proud that his wife is from Miami
University, Oxford, Ohio.
The vastness of the province, together
,with the water, lakes and islands, is diffi-
cult to describe. In fact, a visit is the only
way one will ever be able to appreciate the
water. That water is rapidly developing
Canada industrially and you can predict
much greater activity for the Dominion of
Canada.
Constantly, the editors were told that
the first half of this century belonged to
the United States, and that the second half
will be Canada’s.
The weather was delightful, although
there was rainfall nearly every day the
first week of the trip.
In the columns of The Herald you will
find more detailed information about the
trip which began at Fort Frances, then
to Sioux Narrows, Devil’s Gap Lodge,
Kenora, Fort William and Port Arthur,
boat trip overnight to Sault Ste. Marie,
Sturgeon Falls, North Bay, Ottawa, Gana-
nonque, Fort Henry, Kingston, Oshawa
(General Motors city), Toronto, Hamilton,
St. Catharines, Niagara on the Lake and
Niagara Falls.
AWAY 17 DAYS
It is seldom that The Herald Editor is
away more than three or four days at a
time. The recent trip to the Province of
Ontario, Canada, took 17 days with about
13 days in Canada.
So much usually happens when one is
gone over a period. Seldcftn does one make
a trip that one is not saddened by the loss
of a few friends.
The death of Kenneth Guyer by light-
ning and that of Fred Surratt, long time
business man here, took away some of the-
pleasure in returning home.
Also, newspaper dispatches carried the
stories of the death of the great Fort Worth
publisher, Amon G. Carter, and of Sillman
Evans, Nashville, Tenn., publisher and
former Texan.
Texas never had a moTe colorful pub-
lisher than Amon Carter, who spent a half
century boosting Fort Worth and West
Texas. Any West Texan could call on
Amon Carter and his Star-Telegram for
civic help.
Evans, publisher of the Nashville Ten-
nessean, covered many news events in his
early days in the Panhandle area for the
Star-Telegram. That was during the time
when The Herald Editor was with the
Amarillo Daily News and frequently made
trips to various communities to write
stories.
