trafalgar square is famous for other things a inrge flock of tnme pigeons makes its home there nnd apparently every canadian soldier geta his pit lure taken with them on his shouldei a hock of girls not so tame seemed to be around the benches in front of canada house all t lifetime i hat been asked if any damage wir done in trafalgar settinr the answer of course is yes all that part n london had bombs officers nt tin canndlan headquarters told me that half a dozen bombs hit their huildlnr but theres lltth ilgn of it now all ronds ami sidewalks have been repaired i think theie is a hit mlftslng horn the front leg of one of the lions though i didnt notice it mvself st martins seems intact a- great main of the valnllngs and art treasurers wen removed from the nntionnl cnler and

several places by homhs the small building nt the front right hand corner shows signs of damage throughout the area northward from the palace the bombing wns not nearly so sevore as in the old city or in the dock area in the east end hut nenrly every block shown slrn of damage it seemed to me that the destruction in the wes end was nil from high explosives not from in cendiary homhs ns in the other parts of the eity the damage wns h bin it not by fire i dont know whv it ma have been that the ernians did not drop incendiaries there 01 per haps these wicked little bombs are not so effective where houses are not quite so close together again it may have been that tltu west inders kept n better fire watch these are just guesses of course hut its easv to tell whlcli type of bomb caused the damnge in most cases fires caused b homhs look in the end like mnnj other flret nnd the hlnekened ruins are similar but high explosives dont blacken the pulverize nnd just how the will net seems to be ptirtk

sign hyde park and the oratnrfl everyone hns heord of hyde park it a large pnrk something- like high park in toronto and it 1c sltuatcdjn- the heart of the west end theres quite a lnrpe pond or lake in it but the things the wartime visitor no tices most nre the nntlnlrcrnfl guns tje are nil over the park nnd there nre senrchlirhts with some women lnthe crew hyde park is just be hind buckingham palnce and there must have been a terrific din when the raids were on the guns are usually in shnllow pits ringed around with sandhngs to protect the crews fiom blasts and splinters i never saw the runs in hyde park in action hut one night i did see the search lights there sweeping theli white fingers nrross the aky just west of hde park and reall a part of it is kensington gardens in the heart nf thlt pnrk is n little take with geese and swans nnd over head a barrage balloon or two be side the lake is the famous statue of peter pan a delightful thing a copv of it is in the park at avenut road and st clair in toronto the w hob place is so peaceful that om would not think that there wins wai neu at hand if the everpresent bal loons tlid not recall the fact at the northeast corner of
