C. LONDON, ENGLAND: By now you | have prokably heard that Herb Jar- vis of Agincourt, the champion Cana- dian liorse plowman, was the winner of two trophies al the West of Eng- taud Championship Plowing Match in Cornwall. They were for the best overseas' competitor and the best land in his 'class and naturally we are thrilled about it. It was u good day for plowing-- some said it was the best match wea- ther in years--and the soil cut like cheese. 1 would say most of the com- petitors were "artists" in the art of plowing.- But unlike Canadian plow- men they used every conceivable de- vice to dress up their work. After the match we inspected the field and it was a beautiful sight to behold. In the evening there was a banquet | ut which Herb was presented with the silver trophies he had won while H. Leslie, the ¢hampion Canadian tractor plowman, and. 1 received books deal- ing with the history of Cornwall, In ulldition we received plaques bearing Cornwall's coat-of-arms. They will ulways remind us of an occasion when we were entertained royally and treat- cd lavishly. ) But the variety of plowing methods that 1 observed at the Cornwall match only. confirmed my opinion that what we need is a set of standard rules for international matches. called upon to speak I urged the ad- option of some such rules and as this wus reported in the press 1 may hear from others here who share my ideas. Briefly the above are the highlights of our visit to the south of England. As you have probably gathered from these letters, most of which are writ- ten about six a.n., neither space. nor time permits a detailed account of f But I'll try to fill you in since the last letter which, If 1 remember rightly, was written in Hol- land on the day we were leaving for Belgium. "That day we drove to Arnhem, scene of one of the bloodiest engagements of the last war. It was here in Sep- tember 1944 that the British First Airborne Division, "Which included many Canadians, fought with great valor for nearly a-week against great odds. Only 1,800 of these hard-pres- sed-- paratroopers managed to fight their way out of the trap. But in April of the following year, as you know, the British forces of the First Canadian Army took Arnhem and then pressed.on to the "big kill". All of that took place about six years ago but there still is extensive shell and bomb damage to be seen al- though we were told, and could sce, that a great deal of rebuilding and repair work has taken place since the end of the war. While there we visited what to us is a rather unusual business institu- tion. It is concerned mainly. with This firm es- timates and prepares bids on con- tracts for structural undertakings from a house to a huge engineering project. In order to do this they maintain_ research and experimental labratories; huge drafting rooms; re- cord libraries and just about every- thing pertaining to engineer's esti- mates. It is the largest firm of its kind in.the world, privately owned, and has been in business for 60 yrs. From Arnhem we drove across the Netherland-Belgium border to Ant- werp and then to Brussels, two great Belgium cities that are so well-known to the lads who served here in the two world wars. CANADIAN PLOWMEN ABROAD PLOWMEN'S ASSOCIATION When | was PORTEOUS * BAEair ONTARIO We visited the Blegium Agric albors il Academy & Experimental Station. This institution is anuch like our Ont- ario Agricultural College at. Guelph but it is not engaged in field crop ex- perimental work do the same extent sais OAC. Later we had dinner in Brussels with representatives of the Belgium Agricultural Council, the De- partment of Agriculture and the Esso Company in Belgium, who were our hosts. During the meal we learned a lot about agricultural conditions in Belgium and the country generally, The following day was Sunday but we were able to do some shopping Tu most of the stores were open. Later we visited the site of the Battle of Waterloo, about 12 miles from Brus- sels. Inogny mind insofar as' British history is concerned it is one of the most important 'places in the world. The monument there is an earth mound 120 feet high which, we were told, was built entirely by women. On top of it there is a sort of pavillion from which one can sce for miles in any direction. It houses a panoramic painting, the best 1 have ever scen, of the battle. We did not see as much of 'Belgimma ds we wanted, because to be in Corn- wall on schedule we had to take the plane for London that night. i To sum up our impressions of the continent the thing that stands out is the seeing indifference of the people to prospects of another war. At would alimost-appear-that- genera tions now living here are so used to the idea of war that its inevitability is taken for granted. 'To me it's like living at the foot of au volcano, safe now, but for how long no. one knows. "I'he peoples of Denmark, Holland and Belgium differ from one another in many respects but all of them are alike in their love of their country. Is my personal belief that the only sulution to the problems of western Kurope is union under one govern- ment but 1 doubt, in the light of this nationalism, if it can be accomplished in the immediate future, The sad part is that these countries by them- selves are eomparatively weak and re- present easy prey for any aggressor, yet if they united they would be a tower of strength. They all have 4 sincere desire to protect themselves but they seem to be helpless under present conditions. At least," this is how it appears to me. But enough for now. as we must get ready to leave for Northern Eng- land and then to Scotland."
