Aý Young English Athlete Wbat an interesting world this is! In the quiet o! that eariy morning hour, within thc pre- cincts o! the customns offices, a bright young fellow is engaged in conversation. He is sorting his currency, a mixture o! Yankee and Canadian dollars with pound sterling as an added attraction. Heigbt about 6 feet 1 inch-age twenty years-complcxion fair with blond hair. Name, R. G. Bannister, captain o! the Oxford- Cambridge tnack and field teain which had just cnded a coin- petitive tour of the northern Unit- cd States. This iboy's photograph was featured in "Life" magazine, revealing the interesting and unique achievement o! breaking the mile record in 4 minutes and ilu seconds. Princeton was sec- ond with 4 minutes il 1/10 sec- onds with Harvard requiring 8/10 seconds more. This young man as captain of the teain as carry- ing back this record ta bis native England. In the collective events this young undergraduate medico bad led bis teain to a series o! victories, toppling sucb highly rated aggregations as Harvard and Yale, only ultimately ta came a cropper before a combination o! Princeton and Cornell. Young Bannister was amazed ta discover the "sbammateurizing" of ama- teur sport on this side o! the At- lantic. Paid coaches at Oxford, Cambridge and other British seats of learning were unknawn. "Why," said he, "should every- tbing be rcduced ta the comman denaminatar o! the malign or oth- erwise influence o! the dollar?" However, this bright young Englishman paid glowing tribute ta the unalloyed hospitalitv ac- corded him and his team d uring their competitive stay in Uncle Sam's country.. Having a few hours ta sparc, we, Bannister and a young couple f rom the "blue grass country" o! Kentucky essayed ta explore the commercial sights o! Old Quebec. Hilîs, cobblestone streets, stores well furnished greeted aur eyes, with the language o! "Evangeline" arresting our ears. Relatively littie or no commotion such as a modemn city indulges. The wri- ter is tempted ta opine: 4"May it remain s. The central question, wbat ought the final purchases ta be?

Armed with his pur- chases, two pairs o! nylons and a ten-pound canned bain, we al made our way back to the lo- cale o! the S. S. Franconia. Poor boy wondcred if his mother rnight think him extravagant, making such a costly purchase as a ham. This is an indication of the aus- tcrity to whlch our fellow-citizens arc exposed in Britain. Off to the Atlantic With littie or no delay the ne- quirements o! thc customns au- thonities were met and wc were ushcred Into thce plendor of this floating castie. Over two million pounds had been spent by the Cunard Company reconditioning from a troopship in war service to that o! a luxury liner plying the Atlantic ses. lanes. Clean- liness-orderllness at the heart of cverything-carc and courtesy not overlooked. The a!ternoon hours had now been chased away' by the cvcning and Uic hour of sail- ing, 9 p.m., fast approaching. Two pugnosed littie tugboats were busy goading this mammoth o! the deep inte action, much the saine as a Boston terrier would seek to arouse a Great Dane. Slowly yct surcly distance be- tween the Franconia and the dock was beginning to manifest itself, whilst periodically whistie blasts from the littie harbour terriers shrilly' announced that they were succeeding in their task. Passengers galore lined the rail whilst friends from the dock were waving handkerchiefs in token o! "bon voyage." Could one have read the minds of ahl, both those on board and those flanking the dock, what a mix- ture o! sorrow and joy, tears and sunshine. That is life, howcver. The lights froin both shore lines were now stabbing the darkness with sha!ts o! light, whilst the dutiful tugboats were rctiring, their work. weli donc. Upon the wings o! the night air came the pleasant cadences of "Allouette, Gentille Allouette."' How thosc Frencb-Canadians can sîng this immortal ode! Their leader, a man of sinali stature with a cranîum almost totally bereft of thatcb, cntered inta the singing of it with such might and main that it would be easy to guess that falling to sleep would be an easy matter. Down the river this floating City gocs,êpossessed of a precious human cargo of approximately eleven hundred souls. The lights recede, finally aId Quebec is lost to sight, and the mantle of night assumes authority. Next week-Life at Sea. Y.P.U.
