These are necessary especially for American border authorities when you return, A favorable rate of exchange makes Canada a great shopping center, All visitors of 48 hours or longer may return with up to $100 worth of Canadian duty free. Among the good bargains are hooked rugs, hand-carved ornaments, Hudson Bay blankets and silverfox furs. There also are products of the British Isles (like English wool goods and china, and Irish linen) which cost less than here. The Canadian and American railroads are co-operating this summer in special excursion rates.

Toronto A Resort

Although Toronto is a great port and rail center, it takes'on the appearance of a resort city in the] summertime. It also is known for kaving the largest hotel in the British Empire and for being the city nearest Callender, home of the Dionne quintuplets. Montreal is making its appeal to Americans as the largest center of French culture now open to Americans. With three out of four of its inhabitants speaking French, Montreal is setting itself up as the next best thing to Paris. Even older than' Montreal is

Rockies Attract Many Travel to the Canadian Rockies has reached a new high. THe greatest gain has been shown. at Jasper National Park where | the number of visitors for the year ended March 31 was almost triple that of the previous year. Two events in the Rockies next month will revive the scenes of pioneer days. Calgary. will stage its Exhibition and Stampede July 7-12 with cowboy contests in calfroping, bronco-busting and steerdecorating, and with stock-breed-ing and agricultural shows. Banff will have its Indian Days on July 17-20, when the Stoneys pitch tepees near the Banff Springs Hotel and run their own show. A five-day ride conducted by the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies will start from Banff July 25 and explore the region of Mount. Assiniboine, the Matterhorn of Canada. The Sky Line Trail Hikers of the Canadian Rockies will begin a fourday trek on Aug. 1 from Banff to Floe Lake and Prolific Meadow, returning by Numa Creek and the Banfl-Windermere Highway. The Dominion is offering inducements to fishermen. A short-term

Dude Ranch Tour

In the series of North Western tours is a dude ranch trip combining four days of horseback riding over mountain and canyon trails, hiking, cave exploring and relaxation. The Triangle I Lodge, deep in the cool Rapid River Canyon beside a rushing, trout-laden mountain stream, is the focal point for “dude ranchers” making this trip. One of the sights everyone wants to see in the Black Hills is the Mount Rushmore National Memorfal where the faces of four great American Presidents (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln) are being carved ‘into the side of a granite mountain.
