same old mad scramble for luggage one porter would say it was in the car attend another in the car be hind eventually it was untangled and we were on our way one bus took passengers the other the lug- gagi most of us climbed to the top of the doubledecker bus and had our first thrill driving through the lighted london streets for so many years completely dark we were taken straight to our rooms at the stratford court hotel apparently this hotel is fairly new nnd no one sccirts to know where it is not even the bus driver so now when i get myself lost which i do iiite frequently i ask for mar shall and snelgroves a big store which is next to it a sort of eatons college street type saturday we went on a motor- conch tour of the city or rather part of it we followed the route taken by the coronation procession so we drove through hyde park past st james palace buckingham palace and marlborough housjj we were too late to see the ghangiirg of the guard but we did see guards riding by on their beautiful black horses perfectly in step as we passed various wellknown places the thought came to me how much we learn from educational films the places seemed so famil iar not on account of my having seen them before but because of the nurrfber of times i had seen them on the screen small wonder really as i saw the coronation picture three times words inadequate we went on to westminster ab bey and of course that is something that cannot be described one is so overawed at the antiquity of the buildings the tombstones the poets corner the marvellous architecture and stained glass windows that words are totally inadequate and since you have either seen or read plenty about the abbey ill pass it up sunday morning about nine oclock we assembled for a motor tour to oxford which had been ar ranged for us by the british travel association with one of their staff to accompany us we went by wny of uxbrldgc maidenhead and wal- lingford we stopped drlefly nt a lovely hotel spindles hotel

their enthiisliism got on to a floating dock to feed the swiuvs a boatman came hurrying along warning them to get off their combined weight was sinking the dock by the time we got to oxford it was raining but for awhile that didnt worry us at all as we were given a fivecourse luncheon lit trie randolph hotel still asthe guests of the british travel association i diltlmir anyone complain nlmut the english cooking still overawed thus fortified we were reads to walk the cloisters and a few nf the colleges we visited magdnlen col lege christ church and one other the name of which i have forgotten although i had seen all these col leges before r was just as overa wvd as other members of the party by the ancient buildings that had been the seat of learning for so tnany of our famous bri men and women includingcnnadlll fi five or six centuries naturally ve only skimmed hie surface as we had to board our bus again by four oclock the driver rctairncd to london by a different route coming through high wy combe and beacnnsfield a road i remembered so well by special request the driver went off course a bit so as to take us through stoke poges here we nil left the bus to wander through the churchyard and up to tho little vil lage church where the famous grays elegy was written we couldnt have arrived at a better time the church bell was calling the villagers to worship and i think many of us would have given a lot could we have stayed for that ser vice the setting was historic rural england at its best old old tomb stones graves well cared for sweet- scented roses trees not bushes in full bloom natural shrubs and a hedge of english holly on either side of the gravel path from the church to the road but alas we had to continue our homeward way through many wellknown sub urbs including acton monday was another big day the morning was free so i wandered off to parts of the city that i once knew fairly well i tried to find the rec tory in charing cross road where i had stayed maybe 40 years ago the rectory and the church had disappeared a movie theatre was on the site of the old anglican church previously a greek orthodox church dating back hundreds of years i wandered around soho square and greek street which somehow seemed to have lost its al lure- then i- spent alittlc while i could have spent hours in the worldfamous foyles bookstore which i believe is the largest book store in tho world greeted by mps in the afternoon by invitation our group visited the house of com mon the initial stages took a litt- while as we had to pass from one lobby to another each with one or two policemen on guard evidently the -bobbies- were- out to enjoy themselves too ns they insisted on culling us americans but winking ncross at each other as they did it one of them said we tried it on a group back there and they didnt air bristle o q lim number n the group were allowed a peak into the house and then only for a few min utes biit were all invited to after noon tea on the torrncc overlooking the thames here we were greeted by a few of the members of parlia ment including bpveriy baxter irom the house of commons we proceeded to canada house to a reception given by the high com missioner this was the end of our group activities mr the day sir i boarded a bus and found my back to st pauls churchyard it was not the cathed ral i especially wanted to see it was the bomb damage i hud heard so much about and the way in which garden had been laid out to hide the scars lert by the blitz everything was very tidy in many places wolls were- at a uniform level but within the walls were piles of rubble wild shrubs growing in its midst to me it was as much a monument to the thousands of londoners who died la the niitz as in a military sense is thi monument to the unknown soldier dr john hollinger smiths falls dentist dr john m hollinger formerly of acton has now taken over a private dental practice in smiths falls he was born in acton and
