Denton Reports
From Bigwin Inn
Lake Of Boys
Bv Herbert Denton

BY Herbert Denton
Bigwin Inn is lao miles north
of Toronto on the Lake OF Boys.
NV trip up from Toronto Satur-
dav morning on the Ontario
Northlands railroad of the Cana
dian National lines was probably
the least pleasant of all my ex-
periences in this wonderful coun-
try Suffice it to say that the l2o
miles of the trip covered by rail-
required five hours in hot coaches
with the train stopping at any
point along the route to pick up
passengers. The herky Jerky
motion in starting did not add to
the comfort of the experience.

attending this first Community

ueation was made available to us
