By that time the now-sparse accommodations between tha Soo and Agawa Bay will be bolstered by new motels, cabins and private and province-operated camping sites.

From Agawa Bay, where the big Lake Superior Provincial Park begins, the wilderness area offers overnight refuge only for the tenting or trailer-using camper. a a ONTARIO provincial parks have attractive, well-tended campsites. We sampled the 1 New route follows Superior's north shore ones at Pancake Bay, 52 miles north of the Soo; at Agawa Bay, some 90 miles north of the Soo, and at Pigeon River, around the lake near the Minnesota border. The campsites are spacious, unlike the jam-packed tent cities which have become common even in Michigan's furthermost state parks in the Upper Peninsula. Ontario charges a $2 season fee for a sticker good at all provincial parks, plus a $1 fee for one night's camping.

16 and 17. w- Two days of festivity will Dfind all Northern Ontario marking the opening of the road through "The Gap" section of Highway 17 from Agawa Bay to Marathon which now permits travel all around the northern perimeter of Lake Superior. Much of the celebration will center in Wawa, a min-Ti community of 4.C0O 'people about 160 miles north '-of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. 1 AS MANY as 2,000 visitors among them top Canadian and Ontario officials are expected to bulge Wawa'! seams to help cele-b a Northern Ontario's succesful two generation fight for the road around Superior.

Wawa, a prosperous, modern mining town, has been sitting on pins and needles awaiting the tearing down of four police guarded barriers which have contained the residents for months pending opening of The Gap. Up to th's time their only means of exit was by plane and rail. Vacation trips for families Involved shipping their cars In and out by railroad to the Soo. Opening of The Gap does not mean completion of an ail-asphalt road around Superior by any means. The job of building a modern road on this section of the Trans-Canada Highway from the Soo around the lake to Fort William got under way in 1956, as part of a project, just for the Ontario section.

To show the immensity of the project, the work on The Gap, a 165-mile section from the Agawa River to Marathon involved blasting and moving 2,730,000 cubic yards I of rock, moving 7,835,000 cubic yards of dirt, and clearing 1,723 acres of virgin timber from the right of way one stretch 98 miles long without a break. The job also involved building 22 bridges' in The Gap alone, some major spans of 200 and 300 feet. The cost ran as high as $325,000 a mile. Much of the roadway had to be blasted out of rock, with cuts in some places on Highway 17 as deep as 70 feet. THERE WERE some pretty rugged sections to be negotiated on our tr all-blazing trip.

One was just outside the Soo, and we are told it will be quite a few months before this difficult section is completed. But by the time the international bridge across the St. Mary's River is done in late 1963 or early 1964 this section and others just north of Wawa, west of Terrace Bay and between Nipigon and Port Arthur should match the wide, modern sections now in use. Many of these lakes and streams have hardly been touched by anglers. But the new road undoubtedly will draw many fishermen and hunters who prefer to move In by car, carrying their tents or pulling their trailers.

The average tourist probably will wait for next sea- You'll ill want vfft S66 firewood already cut and stacked. Wawa offers modern conveniences. Then for a 60-mile section of wilderness you are on your own again. But after Marathon, some S00 miles around the lake from the Soo, you begin to see signs of civilization again. In the next several years building of motels and other tourist services are expected to grow in keeping with the demand.

Thair romance finally melted the Iron Curtain. The Communist Czech Government allowed Connolly to mari-y its only Olympics winner and take her to America. a a a NOW, WITH another Olympics at hand, the Connollys are in Rome, both competing for the United States. Their athletic prowess is still high, but how has their marriage fared On her last day before leaving for Europe, Olga talked freely about their relationship. "One of the reasons we were going to Rome was to prove we can live together.

So many people thought when we married it wouldn't work. Our backgrounds were so differentschools, religion, upbringing. Yet we found a common way of thinking. Neither of us likes to be pushed around. It's hard to think of anyone pushing 27-year-old Olga around.
