All Departments Whitby Lad Home After 6,000 Mile | Training Cruise A two-month sea cruise on a British light cruiser was taken this summer by Stuart Roblin, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Roblin, Henry Street. While other Whithy lads would give a year of their lives to take such a trip, Stuart luckily was one of 23 Canadian lads taking a reserve officer's training course who boarded the H.M.S. "Sheffield" early in July to cruise the Atlantic, Panama Canal and Pacific before docking at Esquimalt, B.C., on August 7. He returned to Whitby on Monday. Stuart Roblin entered the Uni.&-- versity Naval Training Division when he enrolled in the Agricul- tural College at Guelph three years ago and has continued studies to- ward a commission. Based at Bermuda, the "Sheffield" is in the light cruiser class and flagship of Britain's West Indies Squadron. It carries a crew of about 700.

Meets rence. ) Leaving Whitby on June 1, he went by train to Halifax and to Bermuda to join the "Sheffield." It was a goodwill trip for the ship and a training cruise for the 23 Canadians on it. Almost a week was spent in each port. Visitors were invited to come aboard to in- spect the ship and many did take the opportunity. At each port the officers staged a party for local dignitaries on the night before leaving. - The course was from Bermuda to the Panama canal with the first stop being Balboa in the canal zoné. Here the crew had a chance to inspect their first foreign cities. Mecdern Balboa presents a contrast with adjoining Panama City, an older and more native city. When the crew arrived they found them- selves in the midst of a Central American election, replete with shooting and cavalry charging down the streets. In the older city it was found that not much English was spoken and the.old Spanish atmos- phere remained pronounced. Being of an English ship in a dollar area, American food rations were simply not obtainable. Though the crew was adequately fed, there was nothing fancy and they had frequent longings for the things mother used to make. However fresh eggs had been taken on at Ber- muda and these were served twice a week. Next stop in the port of Acapul- co, Mexican naval base, was in the midst of some very hot weather, though hot weather prevails all year in that region. Thé crew found it very uncomfortable; swam in the ocean at a water temperature of 85 degrees and found that swimming pools in the city were actually cool- ed in order to provide refreshing dips for the patrons. The heat was terrific: Huts And Palaces "We saw the ultimate in con- trasts in living cenditions in this city," said Mr. Roblin. "The natives lived in the worst kind of one-room shack huts but frequently right be- side these were ultra-modern build- ings and hotels." Going north, next port was Long Beach, California, where the U.S.0. still operates for hordes of sailors who take training from there. Los Angeles and Hollywood were brief- ly explored by the lads who denied encountering any of the denizens of the movie colony. A frequent question was "What part of England are you from?" but Mr. Roblin had to explain that Check Your RADIO and REFRIGERATOR Needs by Calling . . .
