My relatives were looking forâ€" ward to the evening for it had been arranged to go to the West Ham Speedway grounds. On entering West Ham grognds, which I must say is a beautiful stadium and it reminded me of a race track in Toronto, I thought to myself when 1 saw the crowd of people that were in the stands and terraces that this sport must have something that grips the peo&l}e, for, both young and old were there. I might also say at this stadium there is also a greyhound racing track, which is well patronized twice a week. We were in our seats fully half an hour before the proceedings comnmienced and 1 was taking in the scenery. This stadium holas 120,000 people; two large stands for patrons who wish to be seated and large terâ€" races for the majority who come to stand. Finally the officials put in their appearance and all the drivers paraded their machines twice around the track, which is 440 yardsâ€"‘%4 mile. A few anâ€" nouncements by the M.C. and the races are on. The stadium is packâ€" ed, fully 70,000 people, in all dirâ€" ections one sea of faces. The drivers come to the starting point; All drivers start at scratch and no one is handicapped. The ribbons go up and the race is on,. All arivers start on the clutch, for no brakes are on the machines, Steerâ€" ing is done by the back wheel and the skill of the driver,. What speed! Rounding the ends of the track, I looked tor spills and the crowd were urging their favourites on. After the first race, I became as thrilled as my young nephew, who was doing his best to urge his favourite driver on. Four times around they go. After sitting and seeing twenty races during the evening (no betting is allowed on any race), I came away fully satisâ€" fied with the evening‘s entertainâ€" ment. A Canadian by the name of and the firm of "Jupiter Pluvius" took over, (Ed. Note: for the unâ€" initiated, | this . meansâ€"a& _ rainâ€" storm). We passed that famous Druid Ruins at "Stonchenge" in a downpour of rain and it continued to rain until we reached the town of Basingstoke. We are now on the outskirts of London, moving alonf on wide highways, passing London Ah('flort where about 1,000 %llne; per day arrive and leave for mpire and Foreign countries, We are now in London passing such wellâ€"known places as Sunningdale, Hanwell, Chiswick, Hammersmith, and Kensington. Pass the Albert Hall, London‘s famous Home of Music, down Constitution Hill to see Buckingham Palace, along to Wellington Barracks .to pass the Houses of Parliament along the embankment. In passing, you see moored in the Thames Capt. Scott‘s famous ship, the "Discovery" of Antarctic fame, to Blackfriars Bridge, through Queen Victoria Street, Leadenhall St., the Bank, Mansion House, Corn Exchange, into Aldgate, down Whitechapel Rd. to Bromleyâ€"byâ€"Bow and Stratâ€" ford Broadway, Uptown Park, East Ham and Ilford, where our journey is over. On our journey from the South West of England to Ilford, we have covered 190 miles in 4%% hours. August 10 â€" # _ _ _ We left Exeter at 8 p.m. passing through the city on our way to London. Again we see lovely fields of grain growing, some in the course of being harvested; also orchards, the trees full of good fruit, We are now nearing that old familiar camping ground, which is remembered bg‘ many Canadians, known as lisbury Plains. The vl'llagg of Mere is the beginning of the Plains, wherx at a very charming old thatched house we stoppéed for tea, After refreshâ€" ing ourselves, we passed through the village of Wincanton. We are now well into the Plains, but I noticed a lot of the Plains are under cultivatibn and the crops looked 200. Sidenty a cracy like a gun being of no interest to the average reader.

Facial Handicaps Can Be Corrected Realizing that many otherwise intelligent people suffer from selfâ€" consciousness and lack of conâ€" fidence because of such facial handicaps, the authorities point out that regular twiceâ€"yearly examinaâ€" tions will enable a dentist to give advice and treatment which can correct the most embarrassing mouth conditions.

But, in addition to this work, the Provincial Command has requested the Branches to take part in their community activities, In many cases this is already being done, but in the case ol the Weston Branch, it would be possible to do more if we were better off finâ€" ianci:lly. As is well known we do what we can now, by lending our services, but we are hampered by lack of funds, when it comes to donations or expenditures . of money. to it that those who served and need our aid shall not seek in vain, and their dependents and the deâ€" pendents of those who died shall not suffer as a result of their serâ€" vice and sacrifice. _ The s;}udon ml‘l:t properly be ask hy does the Legion Need a ufin- ’!‘ae answer to that one covers a lot of ground.
