Today's high of 40 degrees will not threaten the 52-degree mark set Wednesday, on what was believed the warmest day of the winter. But light west winds kept the overnight low in Calgary at a relatively-warm 22 degrees. Today and Sunday will continue warm with overnight low temperatures expected to be about 15 degrees. The weekend will be sunny with occasional cloud and light west winds, briefly reaching 20 miles an hour.

He got me off spats, talked me out of buying ties six inches across and explained, patiently, that there's nothing wrong with two-pant suits except you only wear one pair at a time. But hes never made me happier than his report after attending the showing in Toronto by the Ontario men's wear manufacturers. Absolutely, he says, no talk of the double-breasted suit coming back (although it is rewinning some acceptance south of the line). I'm against double-breasted suits, because I don't own any.

But I also think that they're about as untidy a piece of clothing as men were ever forced to wear. So it looks as though we're safe for a few years.

When the announcement was released in the press, a Midna-pore contractor told Rose he was interested in obtaining part of the contract to build the centre.

This represented a triumph of co-operation between private enterprise (it's 60 pictures were given free), the CRTC and the AGTB, he said.

Mr. Bryant told the chamber executive of the expected large increase in the Alberta Government's budget for tourist promotion. Since Jan the AGTB has received 24.500 letters of inquiry from tourists, and is sending out 125 personal letters a day on an automatic typewriter. The department has organised a vigorous advertising campaign in Canada and the United States with the theme of "Come adventuring in Alberta," and it now issues brochures in French, German, Spanish and Japanese.
