Thousands of people who never be- fore had taken the slightest interest in the subject of mountain climbing thrilled to the story. - All hailed jt as a great feat and secretly wondered ox openly asked why - do men want to climb mountains ? The history of mountain climbing is only about 100 years old for it dates from the climbing of the Matterhorn in 1854. A few years later, 1857, the Alpine Club was formed in London, England and the sport was well: launched. From that date as- saults have been made on mountains First the. Alps, then the Caucasus of the Middle East, then the mountains of North America--rela- tively easy climbs, then of New Zealand, followed by those of Africa and finally the assaults on the Himalayas. Last of all the attempts to climb Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world. It seems that the fascination for climb- ing is similar to that found in exploration except that in mountain climbing the full impact of perilous odds 'are concentrated | It is claimed that we are to have a. signed truce in Korea.

We arrived back in London after our stay at Avon Tyrell, and our visit to Southhampton about 6.30 on Mon- day: evening June 1st, and went to Devonshire Street where we had sup- per and then went out with some of the girls to see the 'sights'. We did- n't go right down near the palace as it was much too crowded, but we did have fun. We saw people 'camped' all along the streets ready to stay the night and see the procession, (hund- reds and hundreds of them). We re- turned to Devonshire Street about 10.30 p.m. "Canada' occupied chairs in th&gonference Room for the night, but we all ended up sleeping on the floor, and boy, was. it hard. I didn't get much more than an hours sleep. We arose at 3.256 a.m. had breakfast and set out about 4.15 a.m. The streets were just jammed at that hour of the morning and so were the tubes (subways). We went to Victoria Sta- tion on the tube and walked up Vic- toria street over to Whitehall and then to-the Mall. . We thus walked about twice as far as necessary.by missing the first turn. We had-our seats in the Mall in the "All Canadian' sec- tion, but we didn't see anyone we knew. We were in our scat by 5.55. At 7.30 the Coldstream Guards, Trish; Scottish and Welsh Guards paraded by our section and shortly after this the Queen of Tonga went by in an open carriage, then the Tripple Guard of Honour and band of the Royal Air- MEAT - LINE CHICKENS ARE 3 MONTHS OR YOUNGER.

UXBRIDGE BEVERAGES LIMITED Uxbridge Phone 205-W CHARTERED The Queen-Mother's proces- sien went by to pick her up at Clar- ence House; so we didn't see her until the return procession. At 9.00 a.m. we saw Prince Charles and Princess Anne at the window of Buckingham Palace; in the distance. At 9.05 came the procession of the Colonial Rulers. We had a good glimpses of Sir Win- - ston Churchill in the first procession. It was lovely out while the procession was moving along to the Abbey. The Queen and Prince Philip went "by about 10 a.m. and we got a very good view of the Queen. Their coach was all in gold and their procession was simply indescribable. It was the most marvelous thing I have ever seen In my life. The entire service in the Abbey was broadcast through-all the stands. It started to rain around noon, and it sure rained at intervals until about 4 p.m.. Everybody was just soaked but it was well worth it. About' 4.15 p.m. the procession began on its way back from the Abbey, and lasted for about 3/4 of an hour. All the guards, which are so numerous I can not remember them, passed by, all the branches of the armed services, men and 'women from all different countries, and _all types of bands, prime-ministers procession, the Royal- blood procession, Gloucesters', Kents', ete.' Princess Royal. and the Duchess of Kent, and when the Queen Mother's procession went by I got a very good look at the Queen Mother, but couldn't sec Princess Margaret very well. Fi- nally came the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. - IT had a very good view of the Queen on the return procession also, and she is really beautiful and had the most radiant smile and cheer- ful wave for all the people along the route. The Procession and all the at- mosphere of London and its people just can't be described in words. It is most wonderful to see the patriot-~ ism and love of the British people for our queen and her family, and even more wonderful to see the members of the various countries of the com- monwealth joining in to offer and voice their praise. To sce the sights 'of London during the Coronation per- iod was the most thrilling experience I have ever had, and something that will ever be cherished in my memory, --and-wend Port Perry, Ontario, ; PORT PERRY, JUNE 11th, 1953 as well as in the memory of thousands _ and thishsands of others who saw it. Last night 9 of us went out together ingham Palace. We got there about . 9,10 and shortly-after, an announce- ment was made that the queen would appear at 9.45, so we waited. Now I really KNOW what a London CROWD is like, and you don't really KNOW until you have experienced it. There were 40,000 people there, and people were fainting. by the dozens, others were being trampled down, purses lost and what a mess, but when you get in 'you just CAN'T MOVE. At times you can hardly get your breath and that is the truth. Feople keep shoving and pushing, and if you ever lost your balance it would be too bad, for I'm sure you would be tram- pled on in a minute. We were stand- ing in this crowd for about 34 of an hour, but we all got.a glimpse of the ! queen 'and the Duke of Edinburgh when they came out on the balcony.

We will doubtless be hearing more about this resolution and the problem of indigent 'patients as time goes on. In fact we cannot understand why the Ontario Dept. of Health has not come to the rescue of this cantankerous problem long ago, without being prod- ded on by town councils and hospital boards. --Canadian Statesman rossssese Farmers' Union information on the Ontario 4 0008080008000 00000800000000000ntettattiatoitntt at aotoi ities aiioittt titi ttietssaiettctssstsssd BUSINESS a CONANT & CONANT | BARRISTERS and SOLICITORS, ------Gordon D: Conant; K.C------ - Roger D.
