Quebec invites you. The wonderland of America.

Where everything is different A Big Day at Blue Bonnets Race Track SCENIC, SPORT, and PASTIME ATTRACTIONS:-One-fifth the size of Europe and beautiful beyond compare, the Province of Quebec has for the tourist a wealth of attraction.Three-quarters of its area is highland terrain, dotted with a myriad lakes and cut through by countless watercourses, providing a class of scenery not to be found anywhere else on earth.Then the grandest river of North America, the majestic St. Lawrence, fed by mighty tributaries, themselves rivers of no mean size in many an instance, threads the Province through from end to end on a thousand-mile course and makes a further contribution to pictures- queness that must be seen to be appreciated.The vast stretches of forest hold an abundance of game : moose, bear, deer, caribou, and smaller varieties; and the rivers and lakes literally teem with fish: trout, salmon, bass, maskinonge, ouana- niche, being some of the varieties which, if not peculiar to the Prov- ince of Quebec, are said to be found here under the best known conditions of accessibility and abundance.From one end of the Province to the other, on the lakes and rivers, in the mountains, and down by the sea, are summer resorts innu- merable, with the widest variety of diversions, both indoor and out, and accommodation ranging from that of the ultra-fashionable hotel to the modest but comfortable farmhouse-to say nothing of camps and camping sites aplenty. Raman He HistoryFor all its ultra-modernity, Quebec has three centuries of romantic history behind it.Only forty-three years intervened between the dis- Land of Romance *% 3l .: i'*^rp m m ?-*Sk*-~o *s* A psrt of Montreal from Mount Royal coveries of Columbus and Jacques Cartier; and twelve years before the Pilgrim Fathers landed, Quebec was settled.Famous names arestrewnthrough the pages of its history.Tradition is a vital force in Quebec.The Province was founded in the romantic Seventeenth century, and all through the years the manners, customs, ideals and aspirations of those who planted French civilization in America have been kept alive.Rural life in many parts has been said to be a picture of that of the Normandy of three centuries a 30, picture of a life manifesting but faintly the phenomena of progress found almost everywhere else in America today.Of Quebec's more than three centuries of history, the first half was written under the flag of France, and the glamour of the old French regime still hovers over the land.In exploring Quebec today the visitor comes upon many and many a reminder of those stirring past times -old houses, old churches, manors, seigniorial mills, forts, historic sites, monuments, etc., -which add much of charm to his sojourn in the quaint old province.Of absorbing interest, too, is the present day practice of the domestic arts originated in the early days of New France and handed down from generation to generation in characteristic French-Canadian fashion -weaving, rug-making, etc.Although it ceased to be a French possession more than a century and a half ago, and notwithstanding that the English domination undeniably left its stamp, the Province of Quebec still retains a predominant French character and atmosphere, and French is still its prevailing language.The Climate Superb Quebec's climate is nothing short of ideal for summer and fall motoring.Bright, warm days are the rule, and nights just cool enough for refreshing slumber.The lengthy twilight characteristic of the north gives more hours for motoring without headlights and normally tempts the American tourist to covering greater daily mileage than is his custom at home.And the marvellous tonic qualities of the bracing northern air enable him to do so over a protracted period without fatigue.This is a by no means unimportant item in the Old French province's wealth of attractions to the motoring visitor from the south.Scenic spots abound Transportation Facilities Steeped in over three hundred years of history, with the old and the new rubbing shoulders throughout, with countless sources of attraction for the visitor, some of the most picturesque scenery in the whole of North America but a short distance from the American border, with thousands of histor- ical buildings and relics, and almost entire freedom from that trouble-Camp Oolawhan:-Y.W.C.A. for Senior and Junior girls, on private lake in Laurentians, 8 miles from Ste-Marguerite station.Camp Ouareau:-A camp for school-girls, on
