Oh, not to be England‘s Chancellor these days! . & After breakfast, I took a walk through the town of Colchester, which is a very ancient Norman town with nearly twenty centuries of history to its credit. Here reigned from 5 BC to AD 43. Here it was that that "Merry Old Soul" King Cole held court, and Boadicea in bitter fact led her rebellious tribes against the Romans. Here also the Normans built their %reltest castle, lmiger than the ower of London. Here Royalists and Roundheads contested a bitter siege. Nearby all the east coast and the estuaries of the Colne and Blackwater rivers, and that treasâ€" ury of beauty, Constable‘s CountrE The town was first planned in A 50 and a large number of ancient houses are still in evidence. I had pleasure in visiting the ancient castle and grounds. At the entrance is a splendid memorial to Colâ€" chester men who %five their lives on active service. e grounds are well kept; flower beds and lawns a mass of beautiful colors. Also a part is set out for the children to enjoy games. _ _ On entering the castle, you can see all kinds of objects of ancient modes of tran;})ort, coins of the days of the Normans, vases of pattery. Very old pictures hang on the walls, some very faded, but others still in a good state of fireservation. I also visited the oman Vaults and Prison. You go down stone steps.

C e Whilst on my visit to Exeter, I was out seeing the town accomâ€" panied by my young nephew. We came to a candy shop which, by the way, had a window full of sweets of all kinds. I, wishing to treat the boy, gave him a coin saying, "Go and buy yourself some candy." He looked at me and said, "Thanks Uncle Bill, but I can‘t buy anyâ€" thing in the shop.".I enquired why.

Why Worry? When murky clouds are lowering And most stifling is the air, And there seems to be no ending To the roadway of despair, Then it very often happens, In some mysterious way, All the dark clouds quickly vanish And your problems fade away, Like a foolish soul, you wasted Your good energy on such, So the next time troubles threaten Just keep out of worry‘s clutch!
