NOTES: S.S. NORTH AMERICAN Queen of the Great Lakes 7 DAYS ....IN THIS ISSUE Telescope Almost any man-made waterway of the upper Great Lakes may expect a weekly call by the Georgian Bay Liner NORTH AMERICAN this July. A new schedule will take the trim cruise ship into Lakes Superior, Huron and Michigan, calling at points between Detroit, Chicago and Port Arthur, Ont. The plan is made possible by dropping NORTH AMERICAN'S usual mid-week Lake Erie visits for that month; in August she returns to her normal route. Taking advantage of July's long daylight hours, NORTH AMERICAN presents an Imaginative itinerary well balanced between varied ports of call, scenic river and canal passages, and crossings of the open lake. Sailing northward from Detroit on Mondays, NORTH AMERICAN spends afternoon and early evening in Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair River; Lake Huron is crossed by night. Tuesday morning brings a cruise up the St. Mary's River, locking through the "Soo" Canal at 2 p.m., bound for Lake Superior. Wednesday is perhaps the most impressive day, beginning with an early morning landfall off Port Arthur, Ontario. The skyline contains huge grain elevators set against a mountain backdrop, and stretches off toward adjacent Fort William, the other of the twin ports forming Canada's Lakehead. Gathered behind the breakwater are tugs tending great rafts of floating logs which supply the paper industry. The Lakehead is also the northern terminus for the handsome Canadian Pacific steamers ASSINIBOIA and KEEWATIN, running to Georgian Bay, with boat trains on to Toronto; but they are not in port on Wednesdays. Near Port Arthur are the Kakabaka Falls, which passengers may arrange to visit.
