It hardly seems pos- sible that we are naw an the fast laps or our taur of Great Britain, with Scolland and Ireland far behind us. except in our many pleasant memories which will never be forgatten. Sa much bas happened since my fast letter. While 1 was still in Lanarkshire I was able ta spend ane dav in a 2-rooni ochool in a rural area comparable to nîy school in Tyrone. The thing that surprised me most was that even far a scbloai of that size (anly 22 pupils a]- together) a Permanent cook was kept on staff ta pre- pare hot dinners for lte children. There is also usually a schoal hause be- side every ,;chool provided foi- the teacher or head- master. 1 then went on toaa new secandar *v schaall'or, pupils fi-am 11-1.5 which is the leaving age. Basically, the school âyâteni is similar throughout ail or Great Britain. The pupils attend a Primarv Schaoo from 5-10.

At first thev seemed very flat and barren due ta a compiete lack of trees but they had a fascination aillof their own. It was an historian's paradise! Everywhere yoi looked you could sce ancient relies and findings. Very cloie ta aur farm was the ruins of a church buihi by the Celts in the 600'î (I thinkt with later buildings and graves af the Vikings o! the 900s on top. In the Bishopýs palace beside th;s church could still be seen the remains of the first farm o! central heating in Europe dating approximatelv 1,000 years aid. It ccrtainlv made me reahîze what a new country I1live in. One aftcrnoon wbmle wand- ering through Skara Brae, a prehistaric village found buried in sand with evi- dence of il bcbng 4.000 - 7,000 years oid, we started a con)- versation with a n othe r couple there.

Corne ta think af it, that makes two residents of Santa Barbara with whorn I've had a nodding acquaint- ance. The ather was Emil Ludwig, the famous German expatriate who, dur- ing the Second Warld War, journeyed ta Quebec, ta advise Roosevelt and Churchill on how ta handie the Ger- man population in the case of an AI- lied victory. He died a few years later, so we mav neyer know if his advice was heeded by the Allied leaders, or if it was even workable. One thing is sure, at that time, he was the greatest authority on moder.n Germany, living on this side of the "herring pond." The same day that 1 met Mr. Cain, 1 wvas standing in fr-ont of the Corona- tion Restaurant, when a group of High-. vvay workmen headed in for a "cuppa at'p.Most li-wav lads have 5uch a wear.y, woî n-out look that 1 feel bad just seeing them trying ta' ambulate.

Turned out that hie wai Bill MarleY,' the guy who acted as tiîne-keeper one night in Kendal, about thirty years aga. when Freddie Peter- sen and yuur scribe mixed il up inl a boxing ring. After the bout, evervone present enjoyed refreshments and'a dance that lasted well past mnidn)ight. When the dance ended., Lame Martinel], with a couple other young bloods, drove Bob Scatt and me home.
