I'HURSDAY OCT. 21sf, 1948 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. JOWMANVTLLE. ONTARIO PAGE ELEVI2 ENGLISH JOURNEY <D7 Walter R. Legge, publisher of the Leader-Mail, G r a n b y, Que., and Puat President ef the Canadiasi WeekIy Newupapers Assoclation.) Article 12 I have not yet told anythlng about Blackpool, Lancashire, where we spent several days when we first arrived and again be- fore we sailed. Blackpool is one of the most popular resorta in Engiand with a truiy magnificant beach. It is essentially a place of amusement and has an enormous number of auch things as penny arcades, and rolier coasters. It has one unique'place o! en- tertainment, The Tower, with theatre, aquarium, zoo, restau- rants, and a truly magnificenti ballroom. A cousin, Raymond Legge is assistant curator of the zoo and aquarium paying special attention to the aquarium, as he is a spec- talist in knowiedge of fish. This aquarium is quite an attraction with wonderful displays of un- usual live fish both large and water fish, about 40 different kinds o! tropical fish, and the smre number of varieties of fresh water fish, about 40 differentt kinds of tropiccal fish, and the total number is impossible to counit. There is one sturgeon that has been there for over f if ty years. The zoo has a large collection of live animais and birds. Blackpool is quite modern and bas littie to interest the antiq- uarîan. We did however visit some old places in the vicinity. Poulton- le-Fylde, oniy a few miles away has an interesting aid church, and in the middle of the main street stands an old cross and the old public stocks. Another day we took a bus to Manchester where there areimany slgns of bomb damage, and on to Styall which is a lovely old village situated in a beautiful section of Cheshire. At Styall we were guests of an aunt of Mr. John Freeman, pub- lisher o! the Lakeshore News, o! Pointe Claire. At Blackpool we were guests of three aunts, (sisters of the late George Legge of Granby) the eldest of whom celebrated her 90tli birthday in Juiy. They are ail remarkably sppry and accom- panied us to Poulton-le-Fylde arnl on some other visits. Miss Ma& r Legge visited Granby forty years -iýýsuchvivid recollec- 'Arip that she was Â1write an account ory'o which will shortly ,*É in the Leader-Mail. Weoly spent two days in Lon- 'don on one of which I met Mr. Vere MacHutchin and was his guest for lunch at the Savoy. In the lobby was Mr. Douglas Taylor, a past president of the Montreal Kiwanis Club, who was in England arranging for a visit of Canadian Air Cadets. After lunch we visîted the Min- er Rubber Co. ôffices in London. They are located on Southwark street and there is a splendid vlew from the roof of the building. St. Paul's Cathedral looms up not very for away and nearly everything between bas beeti flattened by German bombs, and many bombs fe11 ail around the Miner build- ing. Every window was broken and many of themn have flot yet ibeen replaced due to the diffic- ultv in getting glass. On the opposite side of the street ibefore the war, stood the morgue but that was completely demol- ished by a bomb. One of the first things to catch the eye upon entering the office was a catalog of Miner goods which was printed in Granby at the Leader-Mail. There is a very fine display cf Miner products In the show cases. Canadiang visltlng England find many of the signs and express- Ions strange to them. Here are a Special Low Rail Fares TO OTTAWA WINTER FAI OCT 25 - 29 FARE AND ONE-THIRD For the Round Trip Good Gelng - Oct. 23 - 29 i. SORE INROAT 0 1 rfew: "No Waitlng" <(for "No Park- ing); "HaIt" for "Stop" signs; i"Left Luggage Room", over check reoma sin station; "Enquiries" for "Information": and "Diversion" instead ef 'Detour". One lnteresting sign ini a tea- roomn at Marlborough reads, "Per- sons ibrlnging there own food will flnot be. served,"1 whiie there are jmany signs on vacant lots reading "TDro RÙbbish" ,o! "Tipping 1 Rubbish Here in Forbidden". 1 An odd warning came over the Ioud speakers in Crewe Station. "Train now ready to depart. Join tetrain please." Proobly our clsin Canada of 'Ail Aboard" or 'Up In Front Please, En Avant s'il vous plait" would sound just as peculiar to strangers. In Eng- land, neanly ail the bus drivers cail out when the bus is ready to start, "Hold Tight" but it usuaily sounda like "'AIl Tight." Before closing this series o! art- icles, I think I should make some comment on the English govern- ment and the way it la working, as from the large number of ques- tions I have been asked, there is much interest in Canada in that subject. The government in Engiand te- day la socialismn to a degree that few Canadiens can realize and it la gradualiy controlling every- body's ife. My observations were foriried from travelling around England and staying with people and talking with them. and not from living in hotels and interviewing officiais who -naturally would try to paint a rosy picture.. Actualiy. I did not find anyone who had a good word to say for the government, but it must be rem- embered that such people did flot vote for it in the first place. One retired gentlemen toid me that it was diff icult to f ind anyone who would admit that they voted for the Labour govemnment, yet it was his opinion that they would be re-elected again. The government was elected by the large mass of labourers who had expected that ahl of their troubles would be ended. They have not ,got what they expected, but they stili think they are bett- er off. Actually it is a debatable subject, for although their wages have been. much augmented, the taxes has probably eaten Up the increase. Even if the lower class is better off, the middle and upper classes are definately much worse off than they ever were before. I was struck by the fact that the government is apparently more interested in trying to pre- vent anyone from making a profit, and in taking money away from anyone who bas it, than in trying te improve conditions. The gov- ernment debates when I was over were confined principally to the na.tionalizing o! doctors and health services, and the abolition of cap- ital punishment. It seemed to me that socialism there is bound to fail. One reason is that the people do flot act as they should In theory. No one 3eems to be anxious to make sacrifices for the good of the state, but instead they are only interested in getting more money for doing less. The way in which labourers are working la astonishîng to a î anadian. None o! thema seem to e putting any heart into their efforts. Many firms and indus- tries are compelled flot only to gîve time for afternoon tea, but also to furnish the tea, for which they are allowed special rations. Employers have llttle or no control over their employees, and would flot dare reprimand themn for even flagrant carelessness. As one man expressed it, "work- er: formerly had two incentives, f irst*' to improve themselves and their position, and second. ta avoid being dismissed. Now both these incentives are gone. Another reason why the system does not work well, Is the way in which officials, of which there are no end, are net wiiling or able to accept responsibility, but must tie everything up in red tape. Se many things are under per- mits that all initiative o! agg-' ressîveness la stifled. I encoun- tered many instances o! foolish obstructions being placed in the way of Improvement-. One o! the mosqt remarkable reported that s-hoplftin-g-cases-i-n England in 1947 were up 40 per cent over 1946. None of these may be serious in themselves but it illustrates a trend which is the eutcomne o! too many and too onerous regul- ations. In regard to the future, there 'i the feeling that England will muddle through, and hlstory Arould seem te bear that eut, for there la a certain similarity be- tween the govemnment o! Crom-. .vell and the present labour gev- ernment. Cromwell was eut te suppress the churches because 'e t.hought they had too much iwrand meney. The present Ont.
