I better start from where I left off in my last letter to relate my. adventures. We "passed-the coast of North Ireland-ear- ly on Thursday, but could only get an extremely distant view of it. We sailed 'down the Clyde River and saw a great deal of the scenery in the Highlands of Scotland. I have Hever seen anything as "beautiful as the banks.along the Clyde River. It was really magnificent. We stopped near Greenock and a tender came out to take the passengers ashore. On the tender was a Scottish Kiltic band who played several selections on the_bag pipes. It certainly was a grand wel- | come for the people disembarking in Scotland. All the girls of the tour (except us) went to Greenock as well as a great number of other passengers It was really warm waiting 2 hrs. in Greenock while the customs' officers checked over everything. We landed at-Liverpool about 7 am. on Friday. Just before we got off the ship a photographer took a picture of Dorothy Williams and me. TI was looking through a cardboard periscope and she was holding it. The picture was in yesterday's "Daily News' and underneath it said that J. M. and D. W. would be sure to see the Corona- tion through their periscope which they brought from Canada. -We took the. boat train from Liverpool to Lorn] don. There wasn't any difficulty get- ting through customs. It took about '4 hrs. to reach London and we arrived there about 2.15 p.m. Two ladies met us at the station and also some photo- graphers from the London newspa- pers, A photographer from the Tor- onto "Star" took a , picture of me with one of the "bobbies". 'We went to 30 Devonshire Street and had some- thing to eat. and received our mail 4 and it was really nice to get some. We | took the train at 5.30 p.m. from Lon- don to Brockenhurst. We boarded the train at Waterloo station and on our way to the station we saw Westmin- convention in the Town Hall at Orono on Saturday night, Roy Armstrong, well-known farmer of Janetville, was chosen CCF candidate to contest Dur- ham riding against the sitting Liberal member, John M. James, Five others were nominated but- all declined in favour of Mr. Armstrong. The can- didate is a third general farmer on the family farm near the northern bound- ary of Durham riding, eight miles south of Lindsay. Two brothers are farmers on adjoining farms, all part of the old homestead. * 0% * STOUFFVILLE.--Stouffville Sales Arena has been closed until further notice due to the hog cholera in south: western Ontario. The big weekly | sple was shut down for the first time 14st Saturday and will remain so until the Department of Agriculture gives the "green light" to resume business. * * * LINDSAY TRADE FAIR DOUBLES ATTENDANCE IN SECOND GREAT YEAR The second annual Lindsay Trade Fair closed Saturday night, after hav- ing seen double the attendance of the the first event in 1952, and sonie $176,000 of business brought to Lind- say busifiesses throught their displays. at the Fair, ; x * SCHOOLS AT LITTLE BRITAIN, BOBCAYGEON, TO CLOSE ON - JUNE 80th, BOARD SAYS iY The Victoria County Area High School Board officially moved the the closing of the Bobcaygeon and Little Britain Continuation Schools as of June 80th, at a meeting held in Fenelon Falls last week.

Free", "More Happw- More Prosperous" and "More" Ability to do (iood" which were chosen from parts of the speech spoken by Queen Eliza- beth on her 21st birthday in Africa. More 'Free--Countess Listowel, More Happy--Mr, Frank, More Prosperous --M. Bracey and More Ability to do Good--Dr. Macallister Brew. The speeches were most excellently done and I have a summary of each of them. Discussion sessions were held after each speech which proved very inter- esting. Avon. Tyrell occupies about 10 ac- res of land and was once a large es- tate owned by Lord and Lady Man- ners. The main building is huge and provides .room for approximately 70 or 80 people, There is a small lake about 200 yds. from the house where you can go swimming. We stay here until June 1st when we go back to Londort for the Coronation. We stay in London until June 10 and various tours have been arranged for that time. On June 11th .we are going to Scotland until June 20th, We shall be stationed in Edinburgh during our stay there. After that we are join- ing Major Ney's tour for about 5 days. On June 2nd we have to be in our Coronation seats by between 6 and 7 a.m. and will be there until 5 p.m. Un- less you are there by the appointed time you can't get into your seat as they close the gates to that particu- lar section, : We attended a Dedication Service this afternoon and a service down by the lake this cvening. "They were really quite impressive. We're going to Salisbury to-morrow at 9 a.m. and it's now 12.30 so I better get some sleep. Have a million more things to say but haven't time at present. May 26 We left for Salisbury about 9.30 a.m. and returned about 4.30 p.m. We had a guide who took us to all the historic sites and explained to us the import- ant incidents connected with each. Most impressive of all was Salisbury Cathedral. The Cathedral was built ceiving a cut on his leg, -he-was using. in 1258 and -dedicated to the Virgin : Port Perry, Ontario, "THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1953 = - 'Mary. The Clpisters and the Chapter House were added about 1270 and the upper, part of the tower and spire In 1330. The Cathedral measures about 450 ft. in length and about 203 feet in-width- and the principal transept has an aréa of 55,000 sq. ft. The spire over 400 ft. in height is the tallest spire in England and the most beauti- ful in the world. , We. visited Stonehenge which is the most famous monument of Antiquity in the British Isles. Two ancient ra- ces have left evidence of their pres- ence at Stonehenge. One was a Me- galithic race which, during the late Stone age, about 2500 B.C., erected huge stones singly or in circles as part of their religious ceremonies. Stonehenge is also noted for the num- ber of barrows nearby. Two long barrows have been recorded and some 300 round barrows, the majority con- taining ¢remation burials, It has been" very hot to-day and yesterday, about 90° in the shade. We were lucky to get seats for the Coronation as many of the other peo- ple from the. Commonwealth didn't. Some have standing room and some haven't any place at all, To-night was the beginning of "Treasure Trove Week" and to:mor- row we start our public speaking, em- broidery, eto. We do these crafts and arts in.the morning and. have swimming and tennis in the afternoon and music or dancing at night so it sounds like quite a full week. T better get to bed and be ready for to-mor- row, will write soon again.
