Alberton boosts attractions to lure summertime visitors

Progress has many aspects. ["130 of a material nature can 0 recorded in terms of indus- igw. construction of buildings, [minn- services. etc. There are other aspects of progress which cannot be measured in concrete terms but concerning which ev- ery citizen might well take in- wntory concerning himself and his community. They have to'do with religion, culture, education. Citizenship. community spirit a co-operation.

The past year has produced a number of assets in regard .to entertainment for both tourist and resident. '

in January the Westerner Mo- tel opened its doors to the tra— velling public. The attractively designed building comprises 12 units of accommodation. dining room and lunch counter. E a c h unit is equipped with every mo- dern convenience and its Interior decor is second to none proprietors are Peter Pope and Ci‘cclman Mac-Arthur of Sum- merside. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gordon are the efficient and courteous managers.

The spacious Princess Pat Dl‘l\'C-In Theatre at Cascumpec was opened in August. The large ciiicmascopc tower stands against the background of‘beau- titul Goose Harbour with sand- hills in the far distance. Projec» lion equipment is of the mos modern type and there is alarge diesel electric plant for emer- gency use. There are speakers for two hundred and fifty cars. A refreshment booth and wash- moms are conveniently located.

Two roadside canteens were erected just outside Alberton last summer. At one of them the 'mpular soft ice cream is a spe- cialty.

Last summer's rainy weather resulted in a new interest for tourists visiting Alberton. it was begun on a small scale in the "Maple Tree Craft“ workshop of Herbert Leavitt. Through cour- lcsy of Mr. Leavitt and his as- sistant. Kenneth Quigley. sever- ll families were given opportun- ity to try their skill at wood turning. Some of these guests had come from Montreal. some from Connecticut and one from Toulouse. France. The delight and satisfaction ev'idenced in this creative activity were indicative III the wide-spread revival of in- terest In the arts and crafts and suggestive of the for schools of handicraft in this province.
