Dear Johni: Kindly mail our next copy of the Statesmian to our address in Bowmanville as we intend returning to Canada at the end of this week. We have enjoyed receiving the paper each week which arrived fairly promptly and in good condition and kept us in touch with the people and their activities. Altogether, we think that it is a very fine weekly newspaper. The Canadian Society Ine. of St. Petersburg is this year celeb rating its sixtieth year and] presently has six hundred and twenty five members. This number fluctuates as. since we began coming here we have had as many as nine hundred but this only repre- sents a portion of the Cana- diains who spend the w inters in St. Pletes. This society is very active and provides a lot of entertainmentfor many peo- pie and is a good medium of meeting fellow Canadians and there have been several rom- ances culminate through the organization.

The Tower of, London?, Shakes- peare's hometown? Wordsworth's lake country? Winchester' Catbed- ral?111 This is not yet a burning question, around our bouse, but I've been giving it some tbhought. Somchow, tramping around witb a clump of tourists wbile some guide spiels off a bored monologue doesn't appeal to me. I spent many a leave in London during the war, and neyer dîd get around to seeing anything bistorical1, beyond a few ancient pubs. And when I t hi nk of th1-e sotth of England, and the nortb of England, and Scotland, ail tnat comes to mnd' is piles of pictumesque pubs. I did spend' an afternoon in the cathedral.at Chester. But that was because I was with a"girl, and it was cool and private in there. And the pubs weren't open yet. I spent a month within a stone's throW of ancient Kenilw(ýorth Castie, and didn't get nea r it. The castlc was in the opposite direction to an ancient and venerable thatch-roofcd pub, out in the -country. Another two months was spent near Shrewsbury, one of tnevery old country towns, no doubt crawling with history.Ah I1 can remember ýarc two pubs, the Red Lion and the Old Post Office. Whên we didn't go there, we nipped across the nearby Welsh border to the littie town of Oswestry, where theme was a pub with a. roaring open fire and a constant game of Tip-It, an old game that is as psychological 'as poker. One of the few bistorical sites I did visit was in the, old market town of Dumfries, in Scotland. The site was - you guessed it - a pub wbere the bard Robbie Burns spent most of bhis evenings when be ived ,near there. I felt pretty cultural about that. Wben in London, do as the Londoners do, was my motto. And you don't find them standing around gawking at the guards or limping on wéary arches through the, Tower. You find them in the pubs. Sound ike one long,, ahcoholic orgy? I basten to assure you that it wasn't. It was a matter of choice, not a boozer's delight. You could bang around the officers' mess. This was a bleak, draughty place with a few ancient' magazines. The only source, of beat was a firepiace with about three bits of coal sputtering on iit, and, standing in fronti of it, th1e-orfov! fat senior officers with whiskies hand. Or you could get on youm bike, with a few kindred souls, and huddhe off tbrougb the ram to9 the pub. There you found wýarmth, both physiceal and social. Girls -- Navy, Land Ammny, Waaf. Local colour. Gýames - darts or sb ove-ha '-penny. And if you hit the righit nighit ande knew the barmaid, there migbt even, be spamr sandwiches. The aie xvas incidentýai. Weil, which of the two woýuld you have chosen, if you we-re a young man? No question. Rigbt?ý Howcý,ver, that brings me to my present predicament. 1 cani't very weii take my wife ail the way ta Engiand and expect b er to be wiidly enthusiastic over nothing but an, cxtended pub crawl. Somehow I can't ,sec ber being enthusiastic about bicyciing tlîrough the rain to get to The Gate Hangs Higb, up in North Wales. Il bas roomn for twelve customers and we used to get about tbirty in there. She mnight enjoy .,the Cheshire Cheese, on Fleet St. Or the Wagon Shed, at Hloriey, the Nag's- Head, bebind St. George's Hospital on Kittygut St., or the Star and Garter, St. Johln's Wood. But one linterestIing ,,pub becomires much like another afe a whihe, unless you just want to get in out, of the main, or unless you biave memories. 1What it cornes down to is this. If a man's going back to bis oid hauints, he sbouid leave bis wife at home. Otherwise, be'lh hear something like, "What in the w Gl o you sec in this place? The 'Golden Lion*' my foot. It looks miore like a brindlIed4 dog. Wben are we having lunîch at Ciaridges?" SSo, I guess the oniy choice is to leave ber at homne. l'Il miss bier but I won't be honely. lim going to call a couple of old buddies, Jack Ryan and Bill Proctor, wbo have senti-. mental memories of the same pubs. Take tbem iahong. Woops. Ryýan bas six kids. ih be a bit awkward for irn. And, oh yeah. Proctor. took bis wife to Enghand a few yeams ago, in troduc1-ed ber to sorne of bis old girl friends, witb disastrous resuits. He'sfobd den ever to go again. Oh, well, 1 gujess me and the Olid Lady can sit and feed tlhe pgosi Trafalgar Square. Or go to Bue moutb and w.atcb tîhe old ome wbizzing around in the-ir elecrký carts. epresentatives recentiy, Mr. Trol- hope stated, "the drinking driver and the inconsiderate driver, are tbe ,major cause of traffic accidents. If people wouîd just take a little time and tbink about the other guy, it ,would make a dramatic changein the number of accidents". In their continuing safety prog- ram "Safe Drîving - A Famihy Affair" the. officiais of Dominion Automobile Association bave stress- cd the need for an ahl out effort on the part of eacb family member to contribute to highway safety. In these fast approacbing summer montbs it will take a united effort by ahi to drastically change the picture of 2,000 traffic deatbs that face us. This holiday weekend when you climb bebind the wbeeh of yvour car, you are responsible for more ives than just your own. Safe Driving is a Farnily Affair.
