As fan as the resting goes we were happily disillusîoned ion just aiter breakfast aur friends, the Dunn- ings, cafled for us and wanted us ta do a litthe mare sight-seeing. We_.again had the phea sure ai driving around the city and seeing some ai its varvellaus homes and parks. I don't think there Is a city ai its size in the world whene you cah go sight-seeing and en- jay seeîng the same sights aven and aven again. We returned ta aur hotel for lunch and aiterwards vient down ta the C.P.R. docks ta see a large party ai convention delegates stant an their first leg ai the jaurney home. It was with some misgiv- ings that vie waved good-bye ion on board the ship viere a lot ai aur fiends with whom we had had a marvehlous time duing the trip out and at the convention. Anothen drive was the main it- em on the aiternoon's program, this time it was aven new teritry ta us. Our driver mentianed that we shoul see the Malahat and pro- ceeded ta point the car in that di- rection.

Aiter passing thnough the sub- urbs aur first stop was at the Roy- al Oaks military training centre. This vast estate built by a weathy Englishman is one ai the beauty spots on the ishand. During the war it was taken aven by the De- pa-tment ai National Defence and has remained in thein hands ever since. Besides the earhy English style stone building sunrounded by spadiaus grounds, a new modemn building in white stucco has been erected giving the observer a chance ta compare earhy and mod- ern architecture. Shorthy aften leaving here we started on the Malahat Drive pro- per. The noad winds upwards through taîl cedars until you are hooking down at the lQpg inlet ai Finlayson Arm. Up and up we seemed ta go until we had reach- ed the top, '1,250 feet above sea level. From aur observation post, it was a straight drap down ta the sea, and it was neally quite a sight ta stand up there and look across at Saanich Peninsula with its tal hilîs cavered in the bight even- green ai the trees. Looking down below we could see boats laoking as if they were litthe bugs on top ai the water maving back and forth across the inhet. Deen and bears are supposed ta, be quite common in this part but aur luck was out that day as al we heard were rumors ai people seeing them. We continued an aur way down fram the height until ,vie reached the littlé village ai Mill Bay where we took the car ferry across the inlet. Most ai the 23 minutes it took us ta cross the inhet was spent in the wheelhouse talking ta the skipper and leann- ing some ai the local tales. It ap- pears that this body ai water is noted for its salmon and as we were pulling into shore we cauld wehl beieve his stary when we saw same ai the anglers' catch. By the time we neached the Saa- nich Penînsuha it was drawin-g on towards evening and the pangs ai hunger were starting ta creep up on us. However some ai us had yet ta see Butchart's gardens sa we headed for this beauty spot. The final stop ai the day was made at the Dominion Astrophys- ical Observatary about six miles out ai the city. As it was Saturday night we wene fortunate in being allowed in the dame to see a few ai the small- en stars. A proiessar was there ta explaïn the variaus tehescopes in the obsenvatory and tell us why they were ahways haoking at the stars.

One ai the thnills ai the evening was ta, stand under that huge dame while they moved the telescope and the dame araund Into position ta see another star. It was a very pe- cuiar sensation. You would swean that the entire building was mov- ing instead ai just the top. The following day we were up early ta get aur packing doue, pay aur bills, check out and be neady h. DON'T INSULATE!

The trip across was fairly uneventful until late aternoon when a dense fog descended upon us and everyone started worry- ing whether or flot we would ar- rive in time. The off icers on board assured us that pur trains would wait for us if we were late but we still had a certain appre- hension. We finally arrived In Vancouver 15 minutes ai ter aur train was due to pull out. Fortu- nately the station wis about 400 yards away but it was stili a mad rush to colleet aur baggage, send it over to the train and get there ourselves. We had no sooner put our bags on board when the con- ductor gave the signal to pull out. Then we knew we were on aur way home. This part of our trip was made on the Canadian Pacifie Railway and was enjoyed just as much as the trip out. Our trip was fairly well broken up homeward bound but no matter where we got on we always ran into somebody from the C.W.N.A. convention. This made a very interesting trip as we always had somebody we knew with whom we could talk. The trip through the Rockies was simply marvellous and we were again favored by a perfectly clear, bright day. I imagine if you ,went through these mauntains a hundred times you would s t i il stare the whole way through. On the C.P.R. it was quite interesting ta watch where we had entered a tunnel and where we came out as we ascended up a very steep grade. At one time we'had three engines on the front giving us a steady pull ail the time. Towards late afternoon we pass- ed the Great Livide and arrived at Banff but as we were only there for a few minutes we didn't get a chance to see much this time. That night we arrived in Calgary ta be given a huge ovation by the former memnbers of the Calgary Regiment. They say that Western hospitality is tops-these boys cen- tainly proved it in the three days we stopped at this city in the foothilîs af the Rockies. Most of our time was spent ne- newing old army acquaintances and meeting the wives about whom we had heard so much ov- erseas. Several trips out into the country were necessary ta see some of aur old friends and as we drove to Olds, Red Deer, and oth- [en Western towns we couldn't help noticing what a difference thene was in the country companed ta the Rockies or ta aur own Ontario. Everywhere there were fields of grain, some harvested, some in staoks and same nlot even cut. You could see for miles anoui'id and flot even a tree to, break the horizon. Oven in the far distance you could see the Rookies but as the weather was very hazy we didn't get a -good glimpse of them. Another remarkable feature we noted was the state of some of the streets in the towns, even the main streets with modern stores on bath sides, were just dint with many buxnps and a double set of ruts.' On oui last day there, we drave the 85 miles out ta Banff ta sSe some ai the beauty spots of the wold-famaus tourist resort. It was really a nice drive going over the rouing plains, ta, the foothilis and beforeyou know it you're straining your neck looking Up at the colossal peaks. Unfortunately the Banff Springs Hotel was clos- ed at this time ai year but we had a goad look around the grounds and at the marvellous vlews. Our driver took us to thie Sulphur Springs whene we saw swlmmers bathîng in the warm water even though the day was quite cool. On the way home we went ta see the bears at the town dump but the keeper there said he hadn't seen one for three hours and ad- vised us ta came back later, but as we had a train to catch this was impassible. Once again wm boarded the train and headed east leaving be- hind us mare pleasant memonies af three days full of fun in the city of Calgary and the province ai Al- berta. Next day we tnavelled through the prairies ai Saskatch- ewan and Manitoba but as .we.

Mn. Osborne, now past 80, has ne- tired from active management of The Gazette, të~e duties now being carried an by his yaungest son and daughter. If the editon ai The Statesman is found missing from his sanctum during the com- ing winter months'you can attrib- ute his absence ta the folowing letter from Mn. Osborne who paints.such. a glowing pictune ai Virgin la: I wish you could came here and spend a few months this winter and get away from your cold win- ters with its snow, ice and the dis- camionts of a cold climate. We have no snow et ice here ta con- tend with and it is a pleasant place in which ta live. Our trees are still green as in June and fhowers just as 'bright. Fishing is good here the y e a r round, also golf and countless mil- es ai paved roads in every direc- tion. Yau would love it here. The only thing that reminds us ai faîl and winter coming is the soit leaved maple trees are now shedding their leaves. We have a lot ai trees green the year round, while out in the country the fields are green with growing grain which wilh ipen and be cut next June Market gardeners will plant cabbages out next month and Kale is already planted ta cut for greens in January. In fact one does not feel that we have any winter at ahl. It is one long faîl and spning merged as farmens plant their early potata crop in Febnuary ta dig in May. We have two crops a year ai Irish potataes, but only one ai sweet potatoes. We get two crops ai corn and five crops ai ahialia for fodder, plenty ai aIl kinds ai fruit, small ànd lange, wild and cultivat- ed. Our section is given aven ta the dairy business as we supphy a lot ai milk for the nearby chies ai Norfolk, Newport, News, Rich- mond, Petersburg, and even send a quantity ta Washington City. Our crops were good this year and money seems plentiful. Thanks for copy ai The States- man and the personal mention. I see you have the C.C.F. with thein communist ideas.

Our hast leg ai the trip home was made through the bushland ai Northern Ontania but thîs time we had a much nicer trip as the C.P. R. skints the northenn shore af Lake Superior providing many scenia views. One ai the main points oi interest on this trip \vas the many pulp and paper milîs in full operation. Before we ac- tually anived at these mils we saw many booms ai pulp wood an the laké, eithen being towed dawn or piled on board a freighter or just sitting thene. On aur hast night out we hit the bed early ta be ready for the shock ai getting back ta work the next day. When we pulhed Into the C.N.R. station in Bowmanvihle it feit pretty nice ta be back in the old hometown even though we had a manvellous trip and enjoyed every iminute. The editon met us at the station and immedlately drove us home ta see aur daughten who was in the best ai health and surpris- ingly enaugh, happy ta see us. Ta anyone who wants ta take an enjoyable holiday we heartily recommend this trip, not onhy fan its scenic value but for the fact that you can see what a vast and vanied land this Canada ai ours is.

This week we add anoth- er feature which Mn. Dryden de- clares is the mast important de- parture since the Royal was or- ganized 25 years ago. Built in under the main amphi- theatre seats in the Coliseumn are 900 lineal feet ai glassed-in ne- frigeration units which will have on display for all ta see, the food products ai Canada as prepared ion the retail trade and for home reinigenation. Meat cuts ai ahl descriptions, dairy pnoducts,' dressed poultry, fruit and vegetable products, in short everything capable ai being processed and presenved thnough modern refrigeration may be seen in rich array. It will be especial- ly interesting for housewives and a great adventisement for Cana- dian farmn products. As we say, if we get any press notices at aIl bei are we go ta press we shaîl try to accommodate f arm readers with mare information. Meantime, take aur assurance that the 1947 Royal will be bigger and better -than ever.
