PAGE POUR THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANV!LLE. ONTARTO THURSDAY, 3UNE 4th, 1053 Current Confidentil l By Elsie Carruthers Lunney OUR SPRINT THROUGH WASHINGTON Ah, Washington! What mem- cries. Here was the largest office building in the world (the Penta- gon), the highest monument in the world (Washington's, over 800 feet), and so on, or so our guide told us as he whizzed us past 66 points of interest with the speed of lightning. Though Washington in spring and summer has the at- tractive climate of a steaming jungle, the leisurely pace of the South is nowhere to be found. The people run, at least we can positively attest to the fact that they do on conducted tours. The traffic leaps, the hundreds of taxis enjoy causing you to live dangerously. It is nevertheless quite easy to get around the city, with the aid cf a map, and do your own sight- seeing in the mornings. By after- noon parking places pretty well disappear. We speak now frorn experience, acquired from taking a conducted tour of the Beautiful City of Washington. It really is beautiful too, but so many cf those 66 points of initerest went by in a blur on our toâr that we had to do our own exploring the foliowing Înorning. For $6 apiece we were coilect- ed at our motel outside Alexan- dria, about 10 miles from Wash- ington, by a Broderick Crawford- like ch4racter wbo gave us the Ldisconcerting greeting: ,you folks are starting eut kind cf late, aren't you?" It was then 1.15. The advertising pamphlet cf 1this erganization said, Tour 2, in- Sterior cf f ive government build- ings and Beautiful City cf Wash- ington (up te point 66, there were 101), starts any time 8 a.m. - 1.15 p.m. It turned eut bowever, that 1.15 didn't realiy mean 1.15. It meant about 11 in the morning. Heurs cf government empioyees are staggered on account of traffic prebiems, and some buildings close at 2 p.m. How were we te 1know? The pamphlet said such and sucb. We began te get botter under the collar than the weather called for. L Then we whipped by the White House, supposed te be one cf our five government buildings. "That's the White House," our guide said airiiy. "0f course it's net open new. Oniy open between ten and twelve in the mornings." We gulp- ed.

R. 3, BOWMANVILLE 3 Miles West of Bownianville ping by the vanious foreign em- massies and legations, but we presently found our voice and gave tongue to our feelings, the temperature of which had been rising rapidly. We later found that the White House is nlot open Sundays or Mondays. We were there Monday. FAST TREATMENT We continued to give tongue during the afternoon as we were pushed into the Lincoln Memor- ial, given ten minutes, whipped off again. Given 15 minutes to see the museum known as the Srnrith- sonian Institution where it would take an hour even te take in one exhibit. Here we changed drivers from Broderick Crawford te a more peace loving seul who tried te placate us, and confuse us. In- stead of seeing the Library of Congress, we vere whipped into the National Archives for ten minutes. Then to the Capitol. "Yeu should be out of here by 4.30," said our guide. "If you shouldn't be-eh, ne, she'll get you eut by 4.30." She did. She got us eut by 4.20. We ran ail the way, up marble staircases and down; we raced through corridors, while our guide, whe looked and sprinted like a first cousin of the woman athiete Bobbie Rosen- feld. admonished us te note the carving on the columns which took some poor man il years te do. "Step along quickly," said Bobbie, and ail passed in a blur while the pack panted after ber. Entering one corridor, Bobbie said, "This corridor is 850 feet long, longer than the Washington monument is high," and we were off. We ran ail the way. Catching our breath against a marbie col- umn while Bobbie expounded on something, we gave ber a dazed look cf admiration. She runs through the Capitel building all day long, five or six days a week. But then, that keeps her in form. We were sadly eut cf practice, and half-way through, along with others over teen-age, we began te lag despite Bobbie's urgent pleas te step along quickly. One poor woman with.a cane was be- ing dragged desperately by her daugbter. Near the end of our course, we lest her altogether. She and the chiidren were a corridor and two corners ahead cf us and it was oniy by instinct that the rest cf us found the lobby again where our guide, her breathing net even quickened, stood at the door with a triumphant smile. "I enjeyed taking you through," she said while we nodded weakly. Two minutes later she streaked by us down the steps, headed for the parking lot and home, or perhaps a heavy date. It was 4.20. In 20 minutes we had "seen" the Capi- tel. In three heurs we had touch- ed some cf the spots cf the tour, listed te last four te six heurs. ON OUR OWN That evening, we drove into Washington curselves and saw the beautiful Jefferson Memorial on the Tidal Basin. It was seven o' dock, there wasn't a seul around. Ail was peace and beau- ty. Around the edge cf this Tidal Basin are the Japanese cherry trees which are such a wonderful sight when in blossom. The next morning it was pour- ing rain, but driving ourseives, we saw the Arlingten Cemetery, then the National Gallery cf Art. There were parking meters di- rectiy in front cf the building but ne cars parked. We read the sign, but it was quite right. Perhaps the ramn had something te do with it. Anyway, for twc nickels in the parking meter, we saw this beau- tiful building and as much cf the wonderful Andrew Meilon collec- tion cf Raphaeis, Titians, Renoirs, Reynolds, Gainsboroughs, Rom- neys and se on as we could soak Up in a couple cf heurs.- One couid stay there for days. Witbin a few blocks of the Li- brary of Congress we parked for nothing and without difficulty. For nothing we saw this beautiful Library, much more beautiful than the Capitol building to our way cf thinking. We saw exhibits of original documents, inciuding the Gettysburg Address cf Lin- coin and many other tbings cf historical interest. The morning before, unguided and uncoducted, we wandered through Mount Vernon, George Washington's estate on the Pote- you soi-ne of the highlights cf our travels that we have neglected the subject wbich bas been up- permost in everyone's mind, the Coronation cf Queen Elizabeth Il. It is a wonderful time for Canadians and aU peoples ef the Commonwealth. We are ail preoud te owe allegiance teo our gracieus young Queen. The eyes cf the whole world are on the wonder- fui pageant cf her Coronation. Long nay Aie reign over us.

Nembers oi ihe Arts and Letters Club' Eujoy Typical ""Harold Gully Night" By Illustrions Native ai Bowmanville We are pleased to, acknowledge a copy of the Toronto Arts and Letters Club monthly Bulletin sent to us by one of its members, Dr. G. Eljnore Reaman, the first superintendent of the Boys' Train- ing School, now on the staff of the O.A.C. at Guelph. An item was marked on the Bulletin as it had to do with a well known and illustrqus native son of Bowman- v'le, Harold Gully, wlho was re- sponsible for putting on the pro- gram that particular night at thei Club. Our readers will see from the write-up which follows that these long-haired bespectacled in- telligentsia group of literary brain-busters have their lighter moments of joviality 'when good fellows get together," which en- titles them, in spite of contrary rumors, to be classed as human beings. So sit back and relax, dear, reader, as we, pass on ex-I tracts from the Bulletin headed "Harold Gully Night Definitely": The programme, conductedb Harold Gully, was a huge success. The uncontrollable laughter of the members was, we hope, some recompense to Harold for the weeks of arduous effort he mnust have exerted. The best descrip- tion of the programme that can be iiven is in the words of the notice sent out to members by the programme committee: "Success stories . . . Revelations . . . Corn by the Carload . .. Science expos- ed . . . Biggest Give-away show since the Curry Report . .. Prizes and handouts . . . Red seats and wheel chairs for the patriarchs ..Peanuts for the boys ... Aika- Seltzer for everybody.. etc., etc." Many new members were intro- duced, each of whom received a prize and encomium in Gully's inimitable style; while lucky number prizes ranged from a stick of chewing gum to a surf- casting rod. Almost immediately after the show Harold was leaving for a month's stay in Florida, to recov- er from the effects. Now a few words as to the flamboyant personality of the evening, Harold himself. To most of the members he is associated chiefly with three things-Napier Moore's priceless Revues, Silver- wood Dainies and the Rotary Club. Fortunately a mellow'light is shed on Harold's earlier days by an amply illustrated little brochure issued to commemorate a meeting of the Advertising and Sales Club of Toronto in the Royal York Hotel on March 2nd, 1937, at which an address was delivered by George W. James, Editor of the august Bowmanville States- man, on the strong influence for good of our rural weekly news- papers and of the many country boys who make good in the big City. Mr. James spoke with the ferv- our of a zealot and said, in part, "Take, for example, our genial and sorrel-topped friend, Mr. Gully, who was born in Bowman- ville. I helped to bring him Up. From babyhood he was given the Statesman, to the columns of which in later years he contrib- uted both wisdom and wit. Hej made his first public appearancej at a Mission Band Concert where he sang "Hear the Pennies Drop- ping." Then he spent five years with the Dominion Bank with benefit te himself and te the edification cf the customers. Next, he for- soek realms cf. finance for tbe vaudeville stage and learned liow te "meet the public" successfully long before Dale Carnegie came Harold GulIy te the surface. But the influence cf the Statesman persisted, the cali cf the land prevailed over the feotlights and for twenty-three ardueus years Harold devoted bis fine talents and ceasless energies te the building up cf Siiverwood Dainies.

Advice in Planting Gladioli Corms May Be Helpful One cf the most popular cf our many garden flowers is the glad- iclus. While tbe gladiolus prefers a rich sandy loam, a well drained dlay loam will preduce good plants. Whatever the soit type, the location must be a sunny one as gladiolus do net like shade, says D. F. Cameron, Division cf Horticulture, Central Experimen- tal Farm, Ottawa. Some people plant gladiolus cerms among greups cf ether plants in the perennial or annual flower border, but gladiolus neyer seem to do weil in such a location, as the competition witb other plants eften prevents tbem ro making strong sturdy grewh.I is înuch better te grow them in 1 SUNED- JUNE. 81RTHSTOM~E PEARL OR MOONSTONE MARKET P >ICES,I90O GOOD7 TCHQICE EG&S, 1141 1t~O3A DOZ.
