Stratford-on-Avon, June 10--Well, here is the other Stratford about which I had heard so much. Qutside of London there is a Stratford, and between: London and Birmingham there is a Stony Stratford, and then there 'is Stratford-on-Avon, With: no reflection whatever upon the bard of Avon, but rather to his credit, William Shakespeare is. still the chief industry of this Stratford. That was the statement made by "your worship, the mayor," as she prefers to be called, for Stratford has a lady mayor, Miss Justins, hair bobbed. and as alert as a steel trap. They tell me the mayor here gets an allowance of 200 pounds per year and spends about 500 pounds for en- tertaining. Last year there were 117,000 tourists in Stratford, and they are quite aware of the possibilities of making money out of the traffic, It costs a shilling: to enter the birth- place and home of Shakespeare, and it costs more than that to enter and depart from the stores that are grouped around the place for it is dffiicult to imagine any person visit- ing here and going away * without some sort of a souvenir, Shakespeare's home stands right out on the.street line, . There are three rooms on the front floor, the flag-stones forming the footwork, Beamed ceilings; great fire places, the rooms now devoid of much fur- niture, give the impression of a rath- er seyere look. Upstairs in the room where the bard was born, there is no evidence today of great material comfort. The room is literally. plas- tered with names, written on the walls and ceilings, for one can, with- out much trouble, write oy the ceil ing. 'Among other names are shown those of Carlyle, Walter Scott and Watts, the hymn writer, But these illustrious folk are simply swallowed up in the greater army of smaller fry who have scribbled" their names on the premises. More Peaceful Far more - peaceful is the spot where Shakespeare is buried in the little Collegiate Chapel by the river Avon. A walk, flanked with trees and tomb stones of old age, leads to the chapel, Inside it would be very quiet if it were not for the .contin- ual coming and going of the tourist, There 1s a constant stream of char- abangs from all points, many of them doubtless keen from curiosity to see the burial place of the immortal bard of Avon, others no doubt keen 'to view the workshops and tomb of one whose works they have come to know: and respect. I was interested to sce the other Avon and the other Stratford, The Avon: is just an ordinary stream. It has its swans as the Avon at Strat- ford; it has its willow trees and its boats, but the men in Ontario's Strat- ford who made the lake and park system from the little Avon there have built a monument that I have not seen duplicated elsewhere. Otherwise it is not possible to com- pare the two places. Stratford, Ont, is a modern city with wide streets regularly laid out. It has no basis for comparison with the Stratford here, Stratford-on-Avon retains much of the rural beauty and the village simplicity of the typical Mid- lands settlement. Business streets arc passably wide, but in other places the streets are so smali and so crooked that modern traffic must find it extremely difficult to make its way about. In population it is about one-half the size of the Ontario Stratford. But in point of world in- terest, it holds a place where our Stratford can only envy. The Ann Hathaway cottage is in- teresting, but the interior had no greater appeal than the garden out- side, which at this time of year is an orderly riot of color, Manor Hall, rebuilt and presented to the city by Ald. Archibald Flower, who made several visits to the Ontario Strat- ford, contains the little chapel where Shakespeare and Ann Hathaway plighted their troth, and although the little church where Shakespeare is buried, contains the record of his birth and the font used at his bap- tism, there is no record in existence of his marriage, That is strange, but it is true, Before one enters Stratford-on- Avon, the Shakespeare atmosphere niakes itself felt. We stop at an old gate a short distance down from the old Lucy cstate, where Shakespeare used to visit, until it is said that one night he undertook to stalk one of the many deer which were then as now, very prevalent on the prop- erty. After' that Mr. Shakespeare was no longer a caller at the. Lucy home. But 1 started in to tell about the old sty in the fence, An old lady stands. there waiting to tell that in the days of Shakespeare there was cne which at times he found it very difficult to . negotiate, for = reasons which 'it is not necessary to explain at length to a people who dwell un- der 'government control. This spe- cial 'arrangenient will very conven- iently tilt down when a person falls against it or lcans hard upon it. The old Jady who guards it today collects pennies in abundance for her little recital. So you see that Shakespeare is really, as stated above, the leading industry in Stratford-on-Avyon, At a tea served' this afternoon in the town hall, it was perhaps fitting that the writer should be given the place beside "your worship," at the head table, for Stratford, Ontario had FLOUR FEED POULTRY SUPPLIES Brantford Binder Hog & Lytle LIMITED 54 Church St. Phone 203 GRAIN Twine INVENTION GIVES | minute later the aerodrone is fully FTHE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST7, 1929 Ee AIRPORT LIGHT DURING THE NIGHT Spansih Engineer has Simple Device Ld Aiding Madrid, Aug. 7~Automatic lights ing of airports at. night for planes landing unexpectedly, has been made possible by an irivention of Ricarde | Susana, a Spanish engineer, Susana's process is simple in the > c rried out b; extreme.

According to figures published by the British Govera- ment Canada was the only country in 1928 to record an increase mm British Immigration over the pre- vious year, the Dominion's share being more than' one half of the movement out of the country. As- sisted settlers, according to this re- port, coming to Canada exceeded by 7,419 the combined total to oth er Dominions in the year. WOMAN MAKES LUGKY GOLD FIND Thought to Show Promise of good Placer Mining Quesnel, B. C, Aug. 7--Yecars ago "the . old-timers of the Cariboo gold rush were laughed at when they told of the existence of a rich gold-bear- ing channel near Statler, close to the famous 'Williams Creek areca, where half a' century ago. close to $50,000,000.in" gold was obtained. The old-timers were told that the creck bed had yielded the last of its valuable = deposits and that further rospecting. was not worth = while, Vow, however, the famous channel, known as the lost lead of Lightning Creek, has been discovered--and by a woman, Mrs, Gertrude Murphy, the only prospector of her sex in the Cariboo country. 3 ; J. F. Williams, who is working on the Lost Chance claim, below Stan- Jey, accompanied C. D. Murphy, hus- band of the woman prospector fo Eagle or Housman Creek, three miles above where Mrs. Murphy has been hydraulicking for three scasons. There, in a huge pit gouged out by Mrs. Murphy's monitor, Williams was amazed to find the exposed rim of the ancient channel. The exposed bedrock at this point was unfavor- able, being smooth and slippery, but there .is no question, he. says that the gutter, 'once it is reached, will prove very rich. No gold has ever been found on Lightning Creek above the niouth of Housman Creek, where the pay was lost. Numerous shafts' have been sunk 'during the past fifty years to determine the channel above that point but without success. Below the mouth of 'Housman Creek for some little distance there had been little. or no pay, proving, Williams says, that the gold recovered at the mouth of the Housman Creek was broght down from the old channel. It has long been the claim of old- time miners that some day a high lead. of Lightning, which is the secs ond richest gold bearing 'stream in the Cariboo, would be = discovered. W. Housman, known locally as the "Duke of York," talked of it, to all who would listen for' upwards of fif- ty years," seeking capital to bottom his shaft and thereby prove his con- tention, Williams believes Mrs, Murphy's find is a lucky one, "Once proven definitely it will mean a lot for placer mining in the Cariboo," he declared. Lightning Creek, near Stanley, has yielded approximately $900 a lincal foot for Are two miles of its length, U. 5. HOPE TO WIN SCHNEIDER TROPHY Pin Their "Faith in Small Monoplane Now Geing Tested Washington, D. C., Aug 7.--Hopes of the United States to wrest the Schneider seaplane racing trophy from Great Britain are pinned on a small powerful monoplane which has been completed at the Philadelphia naval aircraft factory and is being tested by Lieutenant Al Williams of the navy. Details of the plane's construction are being guarded. These are known however, to depart from previous American racing plane practice, in that the craft is of monoplane rather than biplane design. It is powered with the Packard 24-cylinder "X" engine, which is understood to have undergone radical changes at the hands of experts at the naval fac- tory. The' engine develops more than 1,000 horsepower. "'Nugget" your 1f shoes and ont steps of the clubhouse verandah with confid- ence!

YOUNGEST MASTER MARINER IN WORLD . Quits Quarter-Deck to Try His Hand in Engine a o Room ; ; Vancouver; B. C, Aug. 7--Cap- tain Thomas Douglas Kelly, 24, of Vancouver, is probably one of the youngest master mariners in the world. And now that he has won his master's, papers he is going to try his hand in the engine room for a while, "I want to see which job requires the most. work and brains," says Young Captain Kelly, "the captain's job or that of the chief engineer." Captain Kelly won his master's papers at the age of 23 and was given command of a deep sea oil tank- er 'last March after spending more than five years at sea in various ca- pacities, Although the youthful na- vigator has spent most of his life in British Columbia, he was born in Liverpool, He joined the Royal Na- val College at Esquimalt in 1920, re- maining therc until the college was disbanded two years later.

This does not mean taht the maximum span of life has been increased, but only that more people live to a greater age. Child mortality has been greatly diminished--this is the brightest achievement. But there has been an extension of life at the other end. This means that more people live to be old, and in 20 doing live further beyond the pe- riod of geratest vigor, of easy adap- toetion and of adequate earning ahility. Thus this lengthening of life makes the problem of old age more acute and difficult, It makes more imperative, too some friendly provision for care in that period, even if there is increased saving against old age and itd severities. come to visit Stratford-on-Avon.
