We thaught Mottreal was a fine station, but New York Central was enormous and very modemn. Leaving the train we boarded buses which were waiting for us and straightway we were rushed ta the dockside. On the way we saw the famed New York Empire State Building and marveiled at the sight of thase skyscrapers. Arriving at the docks we had aur identity- papers checked, saught out aur iuggage, caught a Customns officiai each and had aur trunks checked pver. Baarding the m.v. "Rangitata" together with ninety-six*other war guests we were assigned ta aur sleeping quarters and then having gat aur second breatli we gathered on deck and speculated as ta when we would sail and what the Statue of Liberty wauld reaiiy be like. Well, we neyer found out about the latter because the ship sailed early next marning whilst we were ail asleep and we wake ta find ourseives out at sea. The next three days saw many things "brought up" as the boat pitched and tossed. It was a case of everyone for himself at the rail, each morning resalute f ig- ures, with a do or die expression, could be seen pacing the deck only ta finally subside in a deck chair near the rail. On the third day out a heavy mist came down and at 7:30 that nîglit a huge giow lit up the sky. Our lifebelts, which we aiways carried with us, were quickiy put on and we rush- ed ta the rail ta see what had accurred. On the horizon we discerned an ail tanker all afiame and at intervals a fresh burst of flame annaunced another tank on fire. We naturally assumed that the vessel had been hit by a ton- pedo and that, you may be sure, did nat make us feel toa good. However we iearned that the slip had coiiided with another vessel in the fog and caught fire. It was a thrilling and spectacular sight for us. We could nat but think, however, of the crew of that ship and how they were faring. Weil, ta pass on, the rest of that week praved uneventful and we whuled away the time with vani- ous games. On Friday the i3th, we hit a cyclone, or rather a cy- clone hit us. However the gaod ship braved the elements and tweive days after leaving New Yark we docked safely at Liver- pool, another good job done by the Royal Navy and Merchant Service. On aur arrivai at Liverpool we were met by Mather and when the tears had ahl been wiped away we saw she had not aitered and was much the same as we had ai- ways remembered her. Dad could not get away from duty ta meet us but wlien we did meet, it was grand. It was indeed a happy re- union after almost five years, and sa for the follawing few days were busy visiting all aur rela- tions and friends. Well, we found England carry- ing on, much the same as when we lef t, except that many of the buildings we knew so well were' nat there any mare. The people seemed well clothed and fed and although it was obviaus that they must have endured some awfui experiences through air raids, everyone seemed happy in the thought that they had seen this thing through ta a successful f in- ish and we feit mighty praud ta belong ta them. And now the time for readjust- ment has came and we are doing aur best ta adjust ourselves ta the life Ôver here, but whatever we rdo in the future, aur stay in Can- ada and aur life in Bawmanville will always remain a pleasant memory which the passing years will nat efface. In losing we hope that in the nat very distant future we shaîl have the joy of returning ta Canada, this time with aur parents, so that they may meet ail those good friends of ours in Bowmanville. Yours sincereiy, JOAN, RONALD, JOHN. Although it is not generally knawn, two other metals besides iran possess magnetic properties: nickel and cobalt. Canada is the world's greatest producer of nickel; the tawn of Cobalt in On- tario was named after the large deposits of the metal located there; and Steep Rock, a subter- ranean iran mine in Western On- tario which was only uncovered after the entire lake was diverted, is now producing iran which rivals the famous Swedish iran.
