Melville Dale My talk'today I think migbf best be beaded- ~A Five minute tour of New Yorkc", and what better place ta start ouf than Madisan Square Gardens, the headquarters of the Convention. Madison Square Gardens is the home of all kinds of sports, many outstanding public affairs, and elaborate entertain- nients. The floor surface can be changed in f wo boums for ice skating, oller skating, rodeo or dancing. This was indeed a mar- velous place for the main parts of the con feence fa be held. On aur sighfseeing trip we saw sa many fhings and places if is impassible ta spend much time an cach or indecd ta even mention ail. Uyp th Avenue, famous fan ifs exclusive shops and skyscrapers we passed Central Pak-2 ý,I'mi les long and ý2 mile wide, covering 840 acres of land, then Park Ave., anc of the most famous residen- tial districts in the world. Here we saw New Yark's lamgest aparf- ment buildings and werc f aid that same of the rentais weme in cxcess of $75,000 a year. One outstanding place thaf we visifed was the Cathedral of Sf. John the Divine. Sa far fhey bave been 65 yeams in building this im- mense edifice and if's oniy about two-fhimds camplefe. If is 600 feet long, bas a seating capacify of 7000 and, wben finisbed is suppased ta last 1600 years and wiil be the lar- gest cathedmal in the wold. There was a cburch service gaing an wben we were bere and fram the back of the church we could bard- ly sec the minister. Frmm eme we passed the Col- umbia University, Hunter College, College of the City of New York- all seafs of learning. Then the mu- seumns-thc finesf being the Am- enican M 0"n fN~'i~ T' Then several large and imposing Hospifals and medical centres coming ta the George Washington Bridge by wbich we entered the city. This is the second longcst extension bridge in fthe world with a span of 1500 feet. The Brooklyn Bridge is even longer than this witb a span of 6,016 feet-We crossed over this bridge and saw -the Trce Growing in Brooklyn". They have if conveniently plant- cd near the bridge and if bas cen- tainly spread ifs branches since they f'Ilmed it in the show. Then there was The Little Chumch Arotind the Corner-The Bride's Alfar, here is the scene of tbous-inds of weddings yeamly, the Metropolit an Opera House and Carnegie Hall, whicb bas obtained world wîde fame in presenting many renawned accompiished mu- sicians ta Ihe wold; Grand Cent- ral Station wbich covers an erea of 48 acres and cantains 34 miles of track, the Woolwoth Bldg.- built in 1913 and at that time the fallest building in the world, standing at 792 feet, fben the Chrysier Bldg., standing at 1045 feet higb, but these buildings are geafly oversbadowed by the Em- pire Stafe Bldg., 1311 feet ta the vanishing point. If bas 102 stories above street level and 2 staries below-with a rentable area of 2,000,000 square feef. The firsf observatorý is on the 86th floor and the second observatomy on the lO2nd, the visibilify heme is fmom 40 ta 50 miles with the naked eye. Then there is Wall Street. the most famous quarter of a mile in the world-consisfing of business, banking bouses and the stock ex- change. Wc went thraugh this rather humriedly as aur Am- enican funds wauldn't permit us ta sfay long in this section. Our trip took us tbru China- town and the Bowemy District wheme botel accommodation casfs as liffle as 10e a nighf. If time wouid have permiffed us twa more days in New York we would have been better acquainfed wifh this section because this is probably wbere we would have ta go. Har- lem we saw on Sunday-here the stores weme ahl bammed wifh iran grill work as the morale amang these people is vemy low and they are likeiy ta break a window and make off wifh merchandise. Any sight seeing trip in New York would ndt be complefe wifh- ouf inciuding at lcast one night club and the Bowmanville dele- gation attcndcd Billy Rose's Dia- mond Hoscshoe. If was a vemy noisy place- and some of the en- tcrtainment could not be consid- ered on a very high plane, but one aufstanding item was sangs by Pearl Bailey who records for Col- umbia records. Pearl .Bailey is a colored girl and was just bubbiing with personalify and we might suggesfta the new Directors thaf she could replace Leona Flood af their next concert. New York is the largest city in the world. If is typicaily Ameri- can, friendly and bospifable. If is the home of the United Nations and truly the Metmopolis of De- mocracy and we feel when the Amenicans say giganfic. stupen- dous and colossal that whilc tbey are blamcd for baasfing, in reality they bave somefhing fa back up their statements. One of my family was accused of f aking up toa much time in a previaus convention repart and 50, while there are many other things that migbf be mentinned, I think to save the repufafion of the family I bad better say no mr.Mrs. Garnet Riekard If I don't lose same of my ner- Phone: Day 561 FOUR NEW CARS- -Night 561 -707 -922 ALL PASSENGERS INSURED PROMPT EFFICIENT SERVICE ')PERATED BY LATHANGUE BROS.

However, I was nervous before xve left for New York, because I expecfed ta find a certain degree of sophistication in our travelling companions whch I was not pre- pared ta match. As our trip pro- ceeded the nervousness was dis- pelied. The dinner at Binghamston was an interesfing series of blun- ders. So ' erhaps before I finish, Ilil be able f0 appreciate this speech of mine toe. On the wNay down to New York af fhe head of Seneca Lakq, we found a State Park called Watkins Glen Gorge, named affer an Eng- lishman who first claimed the area in 1823. This is a deep wind. îng gorge cut by a stream through beds of sandstone, shale and lime- stone, formed by glacial action. Trhe section through which we walked is 112à miles long. We took a taxi to the top, had hot dogs, cokes'and, eveything else ,then down more-than 700 steps over Cathedral Falls, 1Ranbow Falls, Cavern Cascade, Whispering Falls etc., fo comne out at the main en- trance from where we had taken the taxi. Pictures do not do justice f0 this place. At times, we walked beside slow streams, at, times looking far below at rushing rap- îds. Great trees formed an arch overhead, ferns grew ouf of the rock and hung down and birds damfed above. Alfogether the walk was a elaxing communion with nature which was to confrast de- lightfully wifh the huge man made spectacle we were going to visit. In New York on Monday morn- ing at 9:30 we went f0 N.B.C. stu- dios fa hear an Arthur Godfrey show for which Mrs. Rundie had abtained tickets. In a long lineup we weme dimecfed to the down- sfairs studio and short ly the show started. There was an orchestra, a girl soioist, a coloured maie quartette aýnd a grand piano on which Arthur Godfrey sat before a michrophone. The announcer was Tony Mar- vin, deep voiced, handsome and damk haired. The famniliar pro- gmam 'began with lively conversa- tion interspemsed wifh jokes and music. Bill Lawrence an up and coming soloist with high romanfic appeal in bis voice was very good. We'd al beard of glass wax be- fore, but had neyer seen Tony Marvin cali for applause, then si- lence it at fhe appropriate mo- ment. We went downfown on the sub- way which was two levels down and very fast. We arrived down- fown at our destination about the time we realized that we badlleft the uptown part of the city. Aftem breakfast on Wednesday, we foak a bus to the docks. Some kind man told us that if we got there -before 9:30 we'd be allowed to go fbrough the Queen Eliza- beth. This was better than we ex- pecfed s0 we ran and made if with a minute f0 spare, then spent an hour sauntering amound this float- ing palace. We fhorougbly apprec- iafed standing on the fop deck and looking down fa the wafer below. If gave the same feeling as looking down framn the 70fh floor of Ro- ckefeller Centre. However, the watem wasn't heaving around us or pembaps tiien we'd have felt that fhe boat wasn't big enough. Best of ahl we waited and wafched while the ropes were slipped off and fwo liffle tugs shoved ber ouf comparafively easily. A part of each evening in New York was unconditionally sur- rendered to Broadway.

Marlachian Of±oe -326 Resdence -2017 Gifis Presented To Kedron Couple A very pleasant event was the gathering of about 50 members of the community and personal friends of Mr. Murton Waiters and Mrs. Walters, (nee Marion Allin), at their home south oft Maxwell's Schoal, on Saturday. evening, July 23. Mr. Jesse Arnott read an eulo-, gistic address. Mrs. Walters was: presented with a Ioveiy bouquet of American Beauty roses by Mrs. Geo. Scott. Mr. Malcolm McGreg_. or made the presentation to Mr. Walters of a fine leather wallet with cash enciosure of over $100. Lt.-Col. Murray Johnston was master of ceremonies. A very pleasant social hour was spent with cards, and the bountiful lunch, supervised by Mrs. Hans Geissberger. rounded a very hap- py occasion. Ail join in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Waiters many years o! the best things in life. by to reach a peak sometime be- fore 1 a.m. The lights are beyond description. There is scarcely an open space above one's'eye level which is free of electric signs, competing for attention among haîf a million others. "Bond" Clothing Firm had a waterfall. Cigarettes, the motor industry, the theatre, radio and television predominated. Evidently these are the industrial fields which. rom- mand the greafest attention.. On Wednesday, we walked through Rockefeller Centre-a great city within a city covering 121,/ acres, including 15 skyscrap- ers of varying height. In the lob- by above the main front door the wall was one mass of glass to with- stand changing femperatures. The murais on the ceiiings resembied show windows four stories deep with the ceiiing made of gold leaf. Among these buildings was Radio City Music Hall which is the lar- gest theatre in the world and ha9 an organ, orchestra platform, floor show and features the world fa- mous Rockettes. The roof is land- scaped with beautiful gardens. In this part of New York, we found the offices of the Associated Press, Radio Broadcasting head- quarters for two major networks. Also R.C.A. Exhibition Hall where you can find displays of modern electronics, radio, television, ra- dar, etc., but that's another $1.40, I-n the underground are shops with passageways lined with dis- plays. A sioping ramp takes ail the trucks and traffic inside fromn the street and then baggage is moved by eievators. We went up the fast. est elevator in the worid te the Observation Roof on the 7Oth floor to see New York. Leading off 5th Avenue at street level is the Channel-a street wide passageway lined with shops and icentred with ten seasonal floral displays. In June roses were the main feafure surrounding pools, 1 n the centre of which were stone figures. This walk ieads f0 Lower Plaza characterized by a French cafe and an English restaurant. ln the centre' is a beautiful fountain lined with large standing flags of ahl nations of the worid-anmore bformai symbol of the meitropolitane 1character of this greaf cify. In 1winter this is an ice skating pond. That is tha charm of New York- at once the greatest and 'ichest city in the worid and also with qualifies and traits that you find 1back home and fthe things you en- joyed in your childhood. Business Dr. J. C. Devitt moved a vote of thanks t0 the four ladies and com- piimented themn by stafing that neyer had lhere been such beauty, wit and wisdom at the head table. President Walt DeGeer sparked the business session by calling for record affendance at ail meet- ings in the future. On his request for three cars to take the members of the Pee Wee Bail Team that plaved in "The Lifles World Ser- ies" at Gibson Park on July 14, Io Maple Leaf Stadium, Toronto, Friday night, f0 sec a professional bail gam',, Rotarians Dave Hig- 1gons, Forbes Heyland and George James quickly offered the use of their cars.

Shirley Yvonne Stephen and Ross Cameron Stain- ton wvas solemnized on Saturday, July 23, iât King Street United Church, Oshawa, with 11ev. J. V. McNeely officiating. The bride is daughter o! Mr. and Mrs. Harold F. Stephen, Oshawa, and the bridegroamn is son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Stain- ton, Zion. White and yellow gladioli formed the floral decorations. The wedding music was played by Mm. Wallace Young with. Miss Isobel Henderson as soloist. Given in marriage by her fa- ther, the bride was gowned in whit e satin. A square marqui- sette yoke with high neckline and lace bertha styled bodice and the long sleeves ended in points over the hands. Lace similar ta that on the bertha outlined the long train. A cmown of orange blos- soms held hem finger-tip veil and she carried a bouquet of sweft- heart roses and stephanotis. She wore, a single strand of pearis. the gift of the tridegroom. Hem atterdants weme hem sister- în-law, Mrs. Ted Stephen, Peter- bora, as matron-of-honor, and hem sister, , Miss Helen Stephen, as bridesmaid, wbo were gowned alike in nule greens prînted taffef a with large hats and gloves in the same maferial as their gowns.

PONTYPOOI Jimmy Russell and bride were the recipi'ents of some useful and beautiful presents, plus a social evening, plus the best wishes of their host of friends on Monday evening, July 25, in the Orange Hall, Pontypool. We wcren 't there, but from aIl accounts, those present had a swell time. When Mr. and Mrs. Norm Leach cailed here, Norm was smoking a cigar, which fact prornpted Mrs. Leach to laugh- ingly remark thaf, when she mar- ried Norm, she did sa because he was a non-smoker. Now, she buys him cigars by the box. Later on, affer sweaning us ta secrecy. Norm confided that being raised in a very backwamd sefflement, (Solina), he was over 40 years old before he discovered that you did flot have to have a mustard plaster on the back of your neck ta heip you "draw" on the cigar. Whiie Mm. and Mms. Leach were here, Mm. and Mrs. Harold Bull, Port Hope, called to ask if we had seen their missing deer bound. Weil folks, believe if or not, Nom Leach spotted that bound the vemy next morning, in the vicini- ty of Hampton, tied him up and pboned inimediafely. We con- tacfed aur Port Hope friends, who were very giad ta welcome back their lost doggie, "Sandy". ~A card fram Bob Scott, posfed at Syracuse, N.Y., tells us that be and family are enjaying their hoiidays very much in fhe States. A letter from Gordon Young- man, Calgary, fells us he enjayed the Stamp-.de vemy much. Our thanks to Morris Sobel. wrestling coach of Tomant o Uni- versity, for thaf lovely Ronson lighfer he sent us hast week. Mar- ris accompanied bis present with a note thanking us for pasf cour- tesies. If is always a pleasume ta be of service ta a genfleman. We were unable fa make the Junior Fammers' piçnic at Cold Springs recently. Too many visi- tors at aur house. Next year, they w1ll cither have ta take in the pic- nie wifh us, stay at aur house 'fil we retumn, or go somewhemc else. The recent fhundem showers are making the cauntryside amound here look fi-esher and greener. Clarence Woodiey, the well known saw miii operator o! Ty- rone, recently fixed up some dressed lumber for an implement shed here. He seemed ta be taking extra pains ta make the stuf! look good. Asked why, he answered: *Well, as a oitima of Ontario, I own a small li*tereft in that build- ing, so wrant ft ta look nice".'- We think that is a fine viewpoint, don't you? A couple of weeks ago we thought we would be smart and put the furnace wood in the cellar while if wüs nice and dry. We didn't feel quife so smart when the cook pointed out that we had aiso put plenty of anfs in the cel- lar too, and that they were both- eing the food. Theme are, appar- ently, two kinds of ants, one a sugar eafing specie, the other, a fat-eating type. As you have ai- read guessed, we have them both, in the woodpile in the cellar. The bus service started amound the middle of June. At that time we wondered if it would run for a month or two, fhen knock off. as in other years. Sure enough, it had already quit. In spite of the indifferent service we get, we are willing to bet a dollar that, if an- other firmn tried to inaugurafe a bus route here, they would meet wifh stiff opposiftion. The first railway in Canada was built in 1835 between Laprairie and St. Johns, Quebec, a distance of sixteen miles. ARGENTINE BUTTER The Argentine Goverriment has cancelled ifs export monapoly on butter. Private traders will pro- bably flot be able to take advan- tage of thîs decision, as current stocks are low.
