The principal line of question
ing at Canadian customs begets
a small suspicidn that soon be
comes a surprise conviction.
What started this myth that
goods are cheaper in Canada
than in the United States?
Some Goods Cheaper
Woolens and china - are, in
fact, somewhat cheaper. Food
and lodging are about the same,
and in some cases less in Can
ada. Manufactured articles,
however, are almost uniformly
higher. The customs man wants
to know if you have a radio,
heater, camera, binoculars, seat
covers, and how many Amer
ican cigarets.
You had better have all but
the cigarets with you when you
leave th. country, else you will
pay import duty on the basis of
the Canadian sale price.
As for cigarets, each adult is
allowed a carton. If you aren't
fussy about cigaret brands, you
can smoke Sweet Caporals

Given High Honors
Hundreds of , thousands of

Peron was given military and

Forty men and eight women
drew the gun carriage on foot

which, along with the highway,
xouows inciting Horse river
the 78 miles from Lake Louise
to Golden, where it joins the
Columbia river.
For the most part this is an
old highway, of gravel construc
tion, and nothing to brag about.
Suddenly, however, between
Field and Golden, the motorist
comes upon a stretch of first
class roadbed, which is being
used, even though it has not
been oiled.
This is the route of the main
trans-Canada highway, along
the length of which improve
ment is now being pushed. The
same improvement ultimately
will be given the big bend
route, or at least part of it, al
though construction of a dam
on the Columbia may force re
location of part of that road.
Last July 1 saw the opening
of an important highway a
265-mile road from Prince
George to a connection with
the Alcan highway-at Dawson
creek. It cost $9,750,000, and
was seven years abuilding.
This is an extension of the
Cariboo road, which runs north
from Hope, about 100 miles east
of Vancouver, and follows the
Fraser river for most of the
300-mile distance to Prince
George.
Motels in British Columbia1
are rated by the provincial gov
ernment. They are all listed in
a booklet given the tourist by!
tne British Columbia govern-j
ment travel bureau, and are;
given ratings of one, two, three
or four stars.
In general the system appears'
to work, but a tourist can be'
confused by the mixture of the!
relative and the absolute in:
grading. A motel that would get
one star in Vancouver may get
three in a smaller place, because
it is the best there is in that
locality. (
Money Value Up
The new money exchange;
rate, which a few weeks ago'
had a Canadian dollar worth
about $1.02 or $1.03 in Amer
ican money, is a source of both
pride and trepidation for Ca
nadians dealing with tourists.
They are proud that the ex
change pendulum - has swung
even slightly in their favor,
alter many years of having to
pay a premium of up to 10 per
cent for American money.
However, they are sensitive
to the prospect that American
feelings might be hurt in a way
mat wouia nurt tne Canadian
tourist business.
British Columbia has long
been a favored vacation place
for Oregonians, and nothing has
nappened to change the place.
The exchange situation simply
adds a few pennies on the dol
lar, but touring expenses in
general are reasonable.

Army infantry, cavalry and mo

form of an Argentine full gen

clothing he has worn at previous
observances of Mrs. Peron's
death.
Before the procession, various
Argentine and foreign leaders
delivered funeral orations at the
capitol. A requiem mass at the
CGT building completed the fu
neral observance.
