The town itself is an interesting old place but the castle is worth the whole soumg"' ney to England. ~The usual pictures m es ion of the real size grandeur of the many buildings. It is known that there 'ulr a castle here in the days of William II (1087 to 1100) but the present castle was started by Edward III (1827â€"1377) and luccudinf‘ kings made various additions until about 1820 since which time there have been no changes. M OO As everyone knows, the Royal family spent much of their time at Windsor Castle but when they are absent, visitors are shown through the state apartments bK expert fidu who lecture in eac room, iese are not the srinu apartments of the Royal family, which are in another part of the Castle. It is impossible in the space available to adequately describe these state apartments but the following is a brief summary in the order visited. | The China (Museum _ contains a valuable ollection of services of Worcester, mood. Minton, fi:_)peland etc. for various ngs. The Grand staircase has a suit of armour made for Henry VIII, colours of many regiments, arms and armour. King Charles II Dining Room has a ceiling Jdnfin: by Verrio of a â€"Banquet of theâ€"Gods;â€"Grindly Gibbons carvings, and priceless pictures, furniture and tapestries. The Rubens Room is so called because of the number of paintâ€" ings by that artist on the walls. It‘s used as the principal apartâ€" ment during State visits. This room also has valuable furniture and porcelains. _ _ _ The State Bedroom has a State Bedstead made 1774 â€" 1793 and the walls are covered with green silk damask. Here also are priceless paintings and furniture. 2 . The King‘s Closet and the Queen‘s Closet are two more large rooms with period furniture and magnificent paintings. _ The Picture Gallery, used as a Writing Room during state visits is known as the Picture Gallery on account of the number of masterâ€" pieces of great value. There are over 40 paintings by such artists as Holbein, Rubens, Rembrandt, etc. The Van Dyck Room is so called because most of the paintâ€" ings are by that artist and there are many fine pieces of furniture. The Queen‘s Audience Chamber has another fine ceiling painting by Verrio and three magnificient panel tapestries of Gobelin. _ _ The Queen‘s Presence Chamber also has a ceiling painting by Verrio and wonderful furniture and pictures. _ _ _ . The Guard Chamber has an armour clad equestrian figure, a fine collection of historical swords and batons, as well as busts, tapestries, pictures and furniture. St. George‘s Hall, built by Edward III to hold the banquets of the Knights of the Garter, is 185 feet long and 30 feet wide. The decorations include the shields of Arms of all knights of the Garter from the foundation of the Order in 1344 to the present day, and busts of about 24 kings and members of the Royal Family. . _ The Grand Reception Room has sbf“ ‘hugs. Gobelin tlpesh;ies. * The Throne Room is where many Royal Investitures of the Order of the Garter has taken place. The pictures are of Sovereigns in their Garter Robes. The Ante Throne Room has five f:intin)%s by Zuccarelli, busts and uis XV tables. The Waterloo Chamber has a mohogany table capable of seating 150 persons. _ The walls are covered with Heraldic Badges and over forty paintings of celebreties. The last room is the Grand Vestibule, filled with cases of souvenirs of historical events, and other objects, forming a museum of great interest. _ a It would take days to really study the apartments but the visitor must keei) up with the guide and party. It was noticeable that the guide never used superâ€" latives such as "the finest in the world" although there is no doubt that mm%h items could be so classed. ere were over 5000 visitors to the apartments on the day we were there. ‘The Queen‘s Doll‘s House is another section open to the public but we did not have time enough to visit it. Equally interesting is the St. George‘s Chapel which is one of PHONE TODAY WESTON 845 We : are nma Frank ufié indicaâ€" m. took andeur or Chess Ch nament. .

One of the few Grand Master draws in this tournanient. the most beautiful and interesting buildings in England. â€" Here again an expert guide conducts parties of visitors and points out each item of interest and here a gain, hours could be spent studying the details. _ St. George‘s Chapel is where many kings and queens are buried including_ Henry VIII and his Queen, Jane Seymour; Edward VII, Queen Alexandra; George III, George IV, Henry VI and many others. Our guide showed his sense of dramatics as he told of the body of Charles the First being smugâ€" kled past sentries into the cha%el for burial at the dead of night. For a long time it was doubted if it really was the body of‘ the ki:g and if he really was beheaded. Yeirg 71at;e7tA th_ré' b'odsl fi"{l 'ergthrl_lm'ei'! and found to be.really the body of We were fortunate in seeing the extensive and massive old altar vessels which are not usually on view, but had not been removed after a special service that morning. _ 00 Charles the First and the head was separate from the body. _ _ Lovers of fine architecture are richly, rewarded for a visit to St. George‘s Chapel for although it is not as old as many other church buildings it is far richer and the stone vaulting is glorious. It is hard to tear oneself away from this gem of England. Going out on the north terrace of the Castle a glorious view is obtainable over the countryside and in the foreground are the buildings of Eton, one of England‘s most famous boys schools. In the town of Windsor at almost any time can be seen boys with the caps, uniforms, and toppers worn by various groups of students. . _The following interesting item about Eton was clipped from a recent daily paper. e _ "A woman I knew put her son down for Eton soon after he was born, 12 years ago. _ $ "His name went on the general waiting list. This was a mistake. His mother should have made sure it was on a housemaster‘s list. . "So unless there is a failure among the examinees in Sepâ€" tember, he stands no chance of %oing ot Eton in the autumn. undreds more boys are waiting for such chance vacancies. â€" ‘"Fees at Eton are now £278 a year. Nevertheless, lists are full until 1960." â€" â€" Only a half hour‘s bus ride from Windsor is Hampton Court Palace which I visited on another day. It was built by Carnidal Woolsey when he was the richest and most werful man i n England. His muaehold numbered 500 and 280 fue!t rooms were always ready or guests. en es Woolsey presented it to King Henry VIII who made it one of the most luxurious palaces in the kingdom. io x The gardens at Hampton Court Palace are extensive and very beautiful, and the most widely known feature there, is the famous Maze probably planted in the reign of William III. The hedges which line the paths of the Maze are six feet high and two feet thick, but looked to me as if ther were dying. Perhaps they will be better later in the summer, Another feature is the Tiltyard {:r‘tn where tournaments were held in the days of Henry VIII. It is seven acres in area, enclosed by high brick walls and five towers provided accommodation for the spectators. Hampton Court Palace and mmdl are on the banks of the mes and river steamers make frequent trips up and down the Thames carrying passengers to It is now preserved by the Ministry of Works as an ancient monument and historic building.

The vast majority of these are proving themselves adaptable and acceptable to their farm emâ€" ployers and many farmers are exâ€" pressing their entire satisfaction with their new workers. Farmers who have been fearful of employâ€" ing this class of worker may be reâ€" assured. o Transportation facilities are now available and more of these people are being brou%ht to this country every week. hey are available for immediate employment on a yearâ€"round basis, Here is an opâ€" portunity for many farmers to find a solution to their problem of labour scarcity. Due tosthe accelâ€" erated pace at which these people are ‘now reaching Canada it is possible to fill applications within a very few days. mt es Applications for such help, if made to your nearest National Employment Office can be filled in a very few days. This opportunity for many farmers to fill their reâ€" quirements for yearâ€"round help will soon pass. These men have been promised emplogment. If agriculture will not absorb them they will pass into other employâ€" ment. If you need one or more workers ‘*to fit into your program of production you should act at once. Apply to your nearest Naâ€" tional Employment Office. Quick results are assured." Tourists Warned To Select Food Very Carefully In a food selection tip to touring vacationists, Dr. D. L. MacLean of Toronto advises it always is imâ€" portant to investigate eating arâ€" rangements. Contamination can cause food poisoning. _ _ _ _ ‘"The contamination of the food is usually by flies or the fingers of foodhandlers," writes Dr. Macâ€" Lean. "Consequently if you have any doubts about the sanitary habits of the foodhandlers or the presence of flies, be exceedingly careful of what you eat. _ _ ‘‘The foods likely to be safe are: soup, wellâ€"cooked meat and vegeâ€" tables, eggs( boiled, fried or poachâ€" ed) and fruits such as oranges or bananas, the thick skins of which act as a protection. ‘‘The foods most commonly conâ€" nected with food poisonings, apart from certain polsonous rmushrooms or mussels, are meats such as hashes, _ hamburgers, meat | of chicken pies; other foods which are mixed or warmed up and stand for some time before being served, either raw or imperfectly cooked salads and the like; milk, ice cream, cheese; and articles likely to be attractive to flies, such as openâ€"faced ries. frosted cakes, candied apples, custards, cream puffs, etc. "Whenever the sanitary condiâ€" tions appear unsatisfactory avoid eating fresh salads;_ sandwiches made up with sandwich spreads or leftâ€"over foods; hashes and meat mixtures; milk or dairy products if unpasteurized. Ice cream or milk products, if pasteurized in a reputable dairy, are likely safe providing that they have been stored in a safe manner‘until disâ€" pensed." Old Coins Sealed In Ancient Vase Therl is a dainty Venetian fllus vase at the Roflnl Museum, which, from among hundreds oft other lntit}ue ornaments is often singled out for closer inspection. It is a 17th century \piece, and at the time it was blown two silver coins were sealed into the hollow glass spirals which adorn its stem. Noâ€"it was not a "piggy" kind, the money still shines for decorative effect only. In an adjoining case there is a Venetian glass servingâ€"plate of the same period. About 86 inches in diameter, it arouses interest both for its superb bemuty of pattern and its reputation as a globeâ€" trotter. Made in Venice -ocLong ago, the plate was taken to ing at a date unknown. There, . an admirer of lovely old glass found it. and through his interest it it, and through his interest it became an mfim at the Museum, IMMEDIATE FARM HELP AVAILABLE TIMES â€"AND GUIDE, WESTON Wednesday, August 7, 1918 Mr. Howell, proprietor of the Centrol Hotel, in order to facilitate progress in the establishing of a market in Weston has offered the free use of his large driving shed on Main street every Thursday during market hours.
