Limit- ed, Oshawa, has completed sec- tion two af a fîve-section road re- surfacing job an King Street East, between Ontario and Liberty Streets, Superintendent J. J. Mc- Laren reports rapid proZress. Repairs have been made to sec- tion one near Liberty Street an-d' levelling operations are finished. Both sections have a Vile drain pipe down the centre ta prevent the road buckling as it bas in the past. The Superintendent said tbey uncovered and removed an aid wooden culvert in front ai 136 King Street, which evidently was laid a good many years ago. He also said the reason the road buckled before lay in the fact that it was built on heavy dlay and draining facilities were noV in- stalled. When the Vile drains are in place, three and one-haîf feet of pit-run gravel, commonly called f ill. is dumped in the road bed and then a five and one-haîf inch layer ai. asphaît.is adcled.' The re-finished surface should. be *one ai the smoothest pieces of road- on No. 2 Highway. Engineering Superintendent D. J. Kean said that if good weath- er keeps up, progress will be rapid. Three. sections remain ta be repaired, accordinig ta the eni- gineer, and these may cause a. little' inconvenience observing thatVhey will be in the business section ln front of the F. F. Mor- ris Furniture Store: the Hydro Shap and Jack Cole's barbar shop. He said these sections would be completed as quickly as passible in an effort ta cause as llttle incanvenience as possible ta citizens.

Norm Rawson Tel Impression of European Trip IV was an hilariaus evening punctuated by spoadic chuckle& and et times, even gales ai laughter initiated by a gesticulat- ing Rev. Norman Rawson, Min- ister af Centenery United Church, Hamilton. The entertain ing speak- er highlighted an evening af true fellawship et a semi-annuel inter- club meeting in the Sunday School Hall ai St. Paul's United Church Fridey, Octaber 27, where Rotary played hast, Lions p;ovid- ed enterteînment, and Kînsmen enjoyed the show Cape-bly intraduced by Lian Gardon Elliott af the Bownîaîî- ville High School teaching staff, Rev. Rawson, in a sometimes ser- ious lecture, told the inter-club gathering that medical men in England hated socielized medi- cine; that Vo land-bungry Euro- pean citizens, Canada is consid- ered one af the hardest countries in the world ta get inta; and that, while claiming ta be a capfitalist "in a way," bie believes that un- der a Labour Governmnent,. "the average man in England bas morO food and better food than in all bis history." He inferred that fear and slavery were predom- inant behind the Iran Curtain and that stark, naked fear was apparent in countries in front af the Iran Curtain. Purpose oaiTrip Thie purpose of the speaker's visit abroad was two-fold. As lie had promised lier parents in 1919, lie wanted ta accornpany bis wife on a visit ta England. The second concerned the christening af his gra nddaughter, the child of bis youligest daughter who had been swept off bier fcet by a man who said, "My dawlinig," with an Eng- lish accent. Said the speaker, "'The poor kid never had a chance."~ Mr. Rawson said ail tbree af bis daughters wei.,. in'o nurse trai1 ing. "They ne-;er finished," he stated. "Tbey joined the Mounties and got their man." In order Va land on the native soul af John Bull, Rev. and Mrs. Rawson sailed up- the Merse9 River, and it was on this epproach that the speaker hased the steVe- inefit, "I saw England this ime hrough the eyes af a returh'ing valuntary exile." He said that meny were prone Va criticize England, but he suggested VhatV before the overseas country be approeched, a traveller should "'bonie up" on its history. "Re- member," he said, "before you dare crîticize-England lias su!- fered mare, bled more and en- dured more than eny other land under Heaven." In that coun- try, live a people who gave their all in order that we may live. England 'is the most beautiful country in the world, according" ta Rev. Rawsan, "and Vhe Eng- lish people about as fine as God ever produced - unfortunately there is a great percentage o! hem who agree with God." Engllsh Railroads Poor As fer as railroads are cancern- ed, the English haven't learned e thing about Vhem in 40 years, if the impressions o! the speaker are Va, be considered faultlessly authentic, and ai dining service he said, "Don't miss a meal on an English diner. It's an experi- ence." He explained, if a persan were fortunate enough to, secune a compartment, he faund e able set for dinner. He heard a little bell ring. He experienced the service aft a man an either end ai Vhe table, and "you got soup whether yau wanted it or noV." And for Vhe dinner itself, Mr. Rawson said, '4WhaV a choice Vhey give yau-mutton, or mutton." He complimentarîly claimed, bow- ever, Vhat no one could cook fish like the English and that their mint pracessing treatment o! "spuds" and peas was unsurpass- ed. For dessert Vhey ask you -ta have phonetically spelled "flan." "Yau dan't want ta miss it," the speaker said, "It's a cross between Yorkshire pudding and plum dui -with a ready-mix cernent filii' ing."1 Aiter countless anecdotes, puns and asides, the speaker finally got bis grandchild christened in a church witbin the shadow a! Hor- atia Nelson's monument an Tra- falgar Square-St. Martin's-in- the Field. Althaugh-he assisted in the ceremony, he seid priar ta Vhe happening, the child smiled up et him. "Michael," he called bis son-in-law, "La4ok, she's smil- ing at me.'" Michael,, the father, replied.
