'Embryo Mounties Train
Hard 'To Get Their Men
By L. B. SMITH
“The Mounties always get their
man.”
I have heard that expr.s i< n
liaet I was a youth, and I saw
where Canada's “Rangers are
bom,
At the R< j al I anad in Mo • I
ed PoHre Training Center w<-
embryo “Mounties” going through
their paces on a "sports after-
mon.” If their training routines
are as strenuous as their s| »rt*
event* it’s no wonder they grad-
uate in fine physical shape For
instance, imony the event* being
contested, w»* a single stick hat-
tie on horse hack, the contestants
armed with sticks simulating
swords were in teams of 10 which
charged at each other and cut and
lunged indiscriminately until the
rihl*<n fixed to basketwork helmets
of all hut the “winner” had l>een
dislodged. This was followed by
another “last-man-up-wins" wrest-
ling melee on horseback, the en-
tire group participating.
Established in 1873 as the
Northw»st Mounted Police, to-
day’s force of Royal Canadian
Mounted Police in Canada is just
over 8,(K)0. Recruits presently at
the training center numler 189.
length of training courses are
eight month*. Pay on graduation
a* Constable, 3rd Class, is about
$4,000 annually; initial engage-
ments are for five years and these
may be renewed until 35 years
service has ix-en accumulated when
the *'Mountie" retires on pension.
He may rise from the ranks even
to become Commissioner of all
Canada.
These things we learned during
a reception hosted in the officers'
mess by Chief Supt. E. H. Stev-
enson (parallel army rank would
be Colonel), Supt. W. Dick, officer
commanding the training center
(Lieutenant-Colonel) and Inspec-
tor Tuylor (Major).

Our last visit of the afternoon
wa* at the Ottawa City Hall, on
Green Island between the twin
falls that empty the Rideau River
into the Ottawa River, to meet
Mayor Charlotte Whitlon and real
ize at once how and why this -mail
but dynamic person maintains her
position year after year and
keeps the city’s male councillors
and aldermen in line. She has done
much for Ottawa during her ci> ht
years in office.
• • •
“It i n plea ant event when the
annual tour of V. S. Editors comes
to Ottawa and a great pleasure to
meet and welcome you all. ^ ou
have noted, no doubt, that thi
new and < xtremely modern City
Hall is on an island. We have
more than 2.700 acres of water
within the 30.000 acres of our city
area, which provides for recrea-
tional hoatirg and make- for piet
tier parks and more scenic park-
ways." Mayor Whitton pointed out
“Unlike Washington." she con-
tinued, “we are not subject to fed-
eral authority in administering th<
use of city lands even the Gov-
ernment of Canada may not ere t
a building not conforming to mu
civic development plan oi to 1 ;i)
by-laws."
Her Worship went on to de
scribe some of tin problems fao I
by Canada in world affairs by
virtue of this nnton p-itum in
the western hemisphere. In
between the only two nations in
the world capable • f waging an
all out long Hi 'tan. <• war with
nu< lear weapon*," -he pointed out.
“and the next war. if anyone is
•o fooli h a* to -i. rt it, will be
fought through our skies. We have
a greater stake in our future de-
velopment—with our fi iend, the
L'. H. A.—than ever before.”

Thanking .Ma)or M hit ton
and the < il> of Ottawa on our
behalf, Harold Hubbard,
Kingfisher, okla.. <m> room-
mate on the lour) «sid. our
Worship, we are pleased and
honored to be guest- of Your
Worehip and the City of Ot-
tawa, and to hear something
of our Joint histories and as-
pirations, and gain increased
appreciation of what you have
here.
“Our visit to Ontario has given
u* an opportunity to learn more
of Canada and of Canadiana, and
we have become increasingly
aware of a friendliness offered
voluntarily and uristintingly. In
your modern cities, where much is
very new, and in towns where old
and new stand side by side, and in
your countrysides and wilderness
areas where much is new and
much is age old, it has been the
same.
“We touring IT. S. editors are
from small towns and we believe,
therefore, that we reflect grass
roots opinion. We will see to it
that the opinions which we ex-
press to our readers on our return
home will be honest and worthy
because we have found Canadians
to be worthwhile brothers sep-
arated only by a faintly ruled line
on the map of North America
which we call a border. It's cer-
tainly no restricting wull to free
access to either country should
brother wish to visit brother.
Thank you again and may all good
fortune attend your office and
your fair city,” Hubbard conclud-
es!.

sor on the Detroit River, bordering
Michigan, approximately 55c miles
to the Ontario-Quebec border on
the east.
At Bowmunville we turned
north through the ever busy vil-
lage of Orono, past a beautiful
government forest tree nursery
and plantation urea, and wound
through acres of bushland to On-
tario's newest and Canada’s fin-
i st auto, motorcycle and sports
car race track. Mosport. Mosport
was officially opened a year ago—
the opening was attended by more
than 45,0(0 auto racing fans and
has since gained in popularity with
professional and amateur dlivers
inlets and with fans.
W'e would have liked to watch
more of th«‘ time trials, espcciaily
on hearing that Roger Ward was
d e in. but Toronto ar.d the Royal
York Hot 1 wcr»‘ t'O miles away;
if we hurried we'd have time for
some shopping in the big city s
fine shops and department stores
and to g« t ready for the really
I ig event of t he t*»iir.
I'romplly st li IH p. m we
began to assemble in (lie Roy-
al ) nrh Root Darden and here
were met In the Hon. Brian
I., Cathcart. chief host of our
tour. Tonight was the night
when he was also host to the
largest reception . , , must
h-.ve hern a hundred nr more
ronfreris, head* of depart-
men!*, and other interesting
L'nurnimnt, civilian and pro s
people Hum to meet and talk
to at dinnrr.
The buffet table was a buffet
tah.e to end all buffet tut lea. Cen-
tered wa* a stuffed wild turkey,
flunked by two ring necked phea
ants, (treat whole fish were laid
out on huge platter* and decorat-
ed. Tr.cre were lot -tern and every
other kind of meat, fowl and fish
you could imagine. Salads and

and a variety of lu < ious desseits

phrey of the comic strip ... or
had Humphrey’s capacity.
Guy Moore, Travel and Pub-
licity Deputy Minister, acted as
dinner chairman. “I would first
like to thank all those who have
given up time with their families
or fi lends to come down here and
meet the 27 editor* who are put-
tieipating in the 19th Annual U. S.
Editors Goodwill Tour of Ontario,'
he said. He then introduced the
tour director and tour staff to the
usiembly, and congratulated In-
spected McKie on winning hi.-
promotion.
"In former years,” the Deputy
Minister continued, “it hM* been
a habit to merely introduce the
Minister of Travel and Publicity,
llryan ( atheurt, and let it go at
that. Tonight I am going to de-
part from habit and give you a
bit of Mr. Cathcart’* background.
“The Minister was born in the
United States, hut his patents re-
turned to Canada, to < orunica on
the St. Clair River, near Sarnia.
Ultimately, our Mr. Cathcart be-
came a successful merchant, a suc-
cessful member <>f the Ontario
Legislature and finally a shut
ful Minister of Travel and Pub-
licity. Gentlemen , . . the Hon.
Bryan L. Cathcart , . . your good
host.”
“I am indeed happy to welcome
you all to the annual dinner to th •
27 l'. S. Editors who so kindly
gave of their time to make this
19(12 tour of Ontario with us. To
these editors, may I say that it
wa- a great pleasure to meet you
t Windsor and again tonight,
after your several thousand mil“
journey through Utopia. 1 see that
you are sun tanned, futtt r and
happier, having enjoyed your vis-
its to our renowned agricultural,
industrial, natural resources de-
velopment and vacation regions
. . . well, to a few of them. My
hope is that when you return
home your wives and iamdies and
friends will lecognize you.
“The coverage given the tour hy
newspapers in the areas through
which you have passed was much
greater than heretofore ... 1
would like to pay tribute to all
who contributed to this gain in
publicity . . . and especially to
those U. S. Editors who express-
ed to these publicists and to radio
and TV audiences, so volubly an I
so favorably, then impressions >1
