He based his opinion on re- cent trends in the method of holidaying, namely camping and the use of trailers. “We cannot expect to have enough accom- modation to look after all the people who come here on Old Home Week and I am sure no- body would want to spend a lot of money in erecting accommo- dation for one week.” he said. Mr. MacDonald felt that tour- ists, whether they stop in per- manent quarters or camp, spend a good deal of money in the pro- vince. He estimated there were 150,000 tourists here last vear.

Cold Weather = *

In Winnipeg : > 4

Nearing End WINNIPEG (CP)—The end of the cold weather is in sight, says public forecaster, but Winnipeg's thermometer ,readings Friday broke a 23-year-old record for

staying below freezing point. The mercury managed to reach 25 degrees above zero in other- wise clear and sunny weather, and although today’s maximum is forecast at 15 above zero the weatherman says Winnipeggers can start putting their lomg johns in mothballs. The city now has struggled through 93 consecutive days of subfreezing temperatures. Ip the winter of 1892-63 the thermometer stayed below 32 de- grees for 9% days, but the laurel wreaths go back 84 years to 1947-

75 when 123 days of the cold were endured.

1] © the other dey @ friend told us of his plens te visit the Holy Lend this summer. Travelling by plene he will reach his destina- | tion e few hours after leaving | Charlottetown. This almost fan- |) tastic achievement in travel speed reminded us of what @ feerfu! underteking such @ visit wes @ few hundred years ago. The pil- grims crossing the sea in clumsy, primitive sailing vessels were pitifully lecking in charts and mechanical navigation instruments. To add to the peril, pirate ships ‘and enemy fleets infested the waters and many @ pilgrmaige ended in shipwreck or slavery. With today’s phenomenal de- velopment of speed of travel has come new and challenging op: portunities for spreading the Gos- pel. The missionary can travel great distances in 8 matter of hours and can reach many people in a short space of time. He can over jungles and mountain ae to reach an Isolated ovt- post. He can return home on furlough and= go back to his field of service in @ fraction of the time formerly required by boat.: With this development along with audio and visual com- munication, literacy is rapidly increasing and men and women are pleading for the word of God, and so the Scriptures must be supplied quickly and in ‘great tities. The “Bible Society. must have continually expénded resources J to meet this need and depends on the givings of Christians everywher:
