Five years have passed; our hearts still sore, s As time rolls onâ€"we miss him more: His memory is as dear toâ€"day As in the hour he passed away. Toronto. He went to learn a trade in an iron foundry, where fumes and hard work undermined a weak system and sowed future trouble. Now and then one other working member of the family would cease earning through sickness or loss of job, and George would have to keep his nose to the grindstone a few more hours each day to make up for it His life was just work, work, work, until one day he dropâ€" ped on the floor. The company physician, who examined him, preâ€" scribed a year or two at the Muskoka Hospital for Consumptives. He can‘t understand why he never had a boyâ€" hood and none of the good things of life, but he‘s fairly happyâ€"he knows separation from his family safeguards them. He‘s content, and he still has hope. There are many just such deserving cases in need of treatment at the Mugkoka Hospital. Will you lend a hand . Contributions may be sent to Hon. xV. A.. Chariton, 223 College Street, George Adams is a very weak boy â€"he‘s so weak he can‘t even turn the pages of a book without feeling pain.

HOLSTEIN LEADER LOCAL AND PERSONALS NORTH EGREMONT At Inversnaid we had lunch ana then boarded the boat Prince Edwara for the trip down Locb Lomond with the great hills reflected in the water on either side and clouds resting on _ The rolling agricultural district was just at its best and the roads and the weather were both good so that our day‘s outing was all that could be deâ€" sired. .‘ z Another day we went through Stirling to Callander by train, then by charaâ€"leâ€"banc to Loch Katrine whicn we reached an hour before the boat arrived so we had time to climb tne hilis and admire the scenery there. On the way we had passed by Loch Vennachar, Coilantogle Ford which is | no longer a ford, and at a turn in the| road we saw the Woods of the Wailâ€"‘ ing Trees surrounding a small lake,; over which we were told by our drivâ€"‘ er, long ago a funeral procession was passing, when the ice broke and all; were drowned. We crossed the Brig. o‘ Turk where James V killed the last| _wild boar of the Highlands. The: mountain tops on both sides of the| lake, were cloudâ€"capped and at times seemed to be smoking like volcanoes. A rock road is being built around the lake so that tourists will be able to| drive around it very soon. The boat| â€"Sir Walter Scottâ€" took us past Elâ€"| len‘s Isle and the birthplace of Rob.{ Roy to Stronachlacher where We“ climbed up ladders into coaches some|â€" drawn by three horses abreast, others | by four and five horses and so made‘l the five mile trip to Inversnaid. The |â€" mountain road led for a long way| close to a narrow lake called Arklet|. with peat beds alongside, and at its 5 outlet a dam of red sandstone. The}. hills towered above us but almost|, everywhere were covered with vegâ€"|â€" etation and sheep were grazing all| along the way. 4 Through Britain and War Zone The following interesting story was told to the teachers of South Grey at the recent convention in Markdale by Miss Mildred Leeson, and next to going onesself is to read her glowing account of the trip.â€"Ed. From Glasgow we went to Ayranc then drove through the country in charaâ€"leâ€"banes to see the many places connected with the life of Robert Burns. We were permitted to go into the thatched cottage in which he was born, and we saw different farms on which he had lived, Mauchline Ch., Jean Armour‘s home, the park whore Burns and Highland Mary spent their last day together, the meeting of the waters and the River Fail where they parted with Mary‘s monument on the bank a short distance away. The woods were full of rhododendrons and the hedgerows a picture in pink and white wild asters. Early in 1920, acting on the advice | of Hon. R.H. Grant, I wrote an appll~| cation to D. Jas. L. Hughes to be inâ€" cluded in the party which he was | then planning to take on a vacation | trip to Europe. Dr. Hughes‘ list was | already full when my letter reached him, so he held my application until he began making arrangements for his 1922 tour. Then he notified me and asked me to take a friend with me to share my trunk and staterodm. Miss Alix Edge of Durham accompanâ€" ied me and we left Toronto on June 30 with about 120 other members of the ‘Hughes‘ party‘ On reaching Montreal we were taken in motor coaches to the dock and went on board the Canadian Pacific Steamâ€" ship Metagama for breakfast. The sea was fairly decent until we were off the coast of Ireland, then for a day or two we rolled and pitchec considerably, for the wind blew a gale and the waves ran high. We got a glimpse of the North East coast as we went through the North Channel, then we forgot Ireland as we passed Arran and reached the Firth of Clyde with its rugged shores. Lamlash Bay we were told was a rendevouz for part of the British fleet. Ailsa Crarg showed through the mist as a bare dome of rock and the shore showed a line of hills for the most part grassâ€" covered or wooded, but showing bare rock or hoath in patches. Houses beâ€" came more frequent till finally it seemed one long line close to the shore, widening out into a thriving town here and there. And so we pasâ€" sed Kirn, Dunoon where Harry Lauâ€" der‘s home was, pointed out to us and Dumbarton with its old Castle over looking the Firth, Greenock â€" where our mail was taken off and‘ finally reached Glasgow and were taken to the Central Station Hotel. The day was not very clear so that we missed much on our way down the St. Lawrence but one thing we saw in every town and village on both shores was the church which seemed to be the centre of each. Three Rivâ€" ers was the first large place we pasâ€" sed. We stopped at Quebec and got some extra passengers, some mail and deck chairs and had a good view of the old town, Wolfe‘s Cove, Montâ€" merency Falls and Quebec Bridge. Early Sunday morning we passed Father Point, then for most of the day we were along the Gaspe peninâ€" sula, with the line of the Shickâ€" Shocks forming a background. The fog thickened as we proceeded and for several days was very dense so that we went rather slowly through the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Cabot Strait. ‘Then one, grand clear mornâ€" ing we were awakened about four o‘clock to see some ice pergs about four miles away. The same day we saw other great bergs with tall points like cathedral spires glistening in the sunlight. _ A goodâ€"sized whale came alongside and others sent up their spouts at a respectful distance. Of the five hundred and four cabin passengers, over ninety per cent were ladies. ‘There were a large number of American tourists on board and they celebrated the 4th of July with a grand parade and patriotic songs in the forenoon and a truly American concert at night. Dr. Hughes lecâ€" tured on Robert Burns one evening and Dr. Coleman on AMountain Buildâ€" ing auother evening and every â€" day and night there was music in the air.

Municipal cars met us at the station and conveyed us to our stopping place on the lower slopes of Lake Lockhart. That evening we climbed to the top of the Craig which is one of the four isolated peaks of the Pentâ€" lands within the city,. _ The other three peaks are Castle Hill, Calton Hill and Arthur‘s Seat. From the top of Craig Lockhart we got our best view of the city, the Firth of Forth and the famous Forth Bridge. In thne morning we were taken for a drive through Princess St., by the Castle and Holyrood Palace, past St. Marâ€" garet‘s Loch and along the Queen‘s Drive which winds around Arthur‘s Seat. Our drive ended at the studio of Mr. Harry Gambly, a noted sculpâ€" tor and he showed us his studio and many finished models and one large unfinished one, somewhat representâ€" ing the Winged Victory of Olympia. There were shopping expeditions or course and we went in small parties to see the places we were most inâ€" the head of Ben Lomond.
