MAY 14th, 1942. MONDAY, JUNE Ist, 1942 COUNTY OF YORK M unicipalilty of the of Vaughan COUNTY OF YORK Municipality CHARLES HOOVER, J. M. MCDONALD, The great ship cincled‘ towards the south. The wing-tip light and all the interior lights went out. Down below, little Irish villages and the City of Limerick showed“- txhirough the clouds, for Ireland‘ has no blackout. Minutes- later, there were two or three lighthouses, and the- moon shining on the open sea, then no- thing- moue but clouds for hours and houns. Lisbon From the Air I sat at the little window and looked out at the waves, thrilled be- yond: anything I had known on the trip lberfome. I could see two of the four hruge motors and the long wing with.a green light out near the ti-p. The waves psmlashedl up over the” win- dow when the motors speeded up. 'Dw'lrce the waves were so high they came up over the wing-tip, obscur- ing the glleen light. Then we turn- ed towardls land; and1 there was a louder roan. and’ I could feel the slap-slap of vthe waves on the bot- tom of the ship, growing Iness vio- lent and finally disappearing, and we were in the air. I don’t think Pan American Air- ways. would have tried] to fly a Clip- per on a night like that. The waves were high and the Wind was off- shore. That made it necessary to go away out into the estuary and taxi toward the land!, rwith the ship gain- ing height fast enough to clear the range of low hilllS‘. Besides, the plane had a heavy load. Three times, the Captain triedI before he finally lift- ed] off the waves and into the air. Each time, he went farther out into the open ocean. I There were no therths for the pas- sengers that night. There wasn’t room for them. We! were packed in too closely, and we sat up all night in the comfortable seats. After we rose from the water, there were no lights either. The plane was to fly down opposite the unfriendly coast of France. always in» danger from' enemy raiders, and' the only safe way to go was 'in the dark. And even that wasn’t too safe as we all realized. So we sat sprawled arOund in all sorts of queer shapes, trying to sleep â€" and (having some suc- cess, at that. Absurd tie Ban-wick The interior Iomked‘ familiar. This was another Boeing .pllane, similar to the Clippers by which I had cross- ed the: Atlantic some weeks (before. Even the [pattern -on the tapestry that coveredI the walls was the same. But this was a later model and larg- er. One launch had gone out with the mail and I climbed into another with a dozen fellow passengers. One or two loac‘ls 1112-3“ already gone aboard. The 'bay was rough and‘ our launch went out beyond the seaplane, drift- img' (batik past it. The crew missed the- ro-pe thrown fivom the plane and tried again. The second. time they had‘ better luck and we climbed. a- board- th~e lbig float which is a part of the body of the plane and down through {the narrow door. It all seemed: strange to me that night. There I was in Ireland; where I had; never expected to rbe. Behind us on the hills, lights shone in ‘the few houses, not exactly what we had become accustomed to during a month in England; where everything would have been iblac’k. 0n the pier, a powerful searchilig'h‘t swung around picking out at times the shape of the big winged [boat out on the es- tuary, throwing itsl ‘black shadow on the cliff fbehind‘ until it looked like two elhips, one grey and one black. We left the peaceful little village of Adere, in Southern Ireland, about ten o’clock on! Friday night. driving by bus: along the winding, walled roads, through a couple more tiny hamlets, and down one last hill‘ to the seacoast. Once again; there was a hurried session in- the little cusâ€" tomns house, though .no baggage was opened» for inspection. One more en- try was made in- our passports, and we filed out om the. pier and down a shaky gang-plank *to the launch. s’bon, as seen" from the air I’ll; never forget the night we left Ireland! lbehind and flew away to- ward‘ Portugal in'the largest sea- plane I ever saw, the good: .sIhip “Ber- wiic'k", which later- became famous when it carriedv Winston Churchill back over the Atlantic from Berâ€" muda to Britain. Being Trailed by German Gestapo in Lisbon Not Pleasant Experience This is another of a series of 18 artides on conditions in Great Britain in wartime, writ- ten exclusively for the weekly newspapers; of Canadla by Hugh Templin, of the Fergus News- Record. As I have ful from the Portugal tiha 0n the return ltrip, I spent seven: [days in Lisbon, which was about five too .many. It was midiâ€"October when autumn storms were interfer- ing with the Clipper schedules. At first, it seemed, I might have to wait ten days for a place on a C'lip- per: then it was» more ind‘exfinite. It might be three weeks. As it has slince turnedI out, it (might be never. A prominent Canadian who return- ed a few wee-ks later ihad‘ to go by‘ way of Africa, Brazil and Trinidad to get out of (Lisbon. The city is full‘ of people trying- to‘ get out. For some of them, it is a matter of life and’ death. They must leave before the Germans get th= n. A place on the Clipper was not to 'be measured in mere dollars then (though it most over $5010, west- bound). So I stayed in Lisbon with seven other Canadians, and as the days passed slowly, our plig'ht be- came so desperate that. we returned at last on a refugee ship. “part of a cargo of 001",” as Bishop Renison a cargw puts it 7TOS‘3 the 1broad’ Atblantic, but we ar- rived breathless at the Estoril Pa- lacia, the finest hotel in Portugal.

Lisbon After Dnrk I didn’t see much of Lisbon the firslt time I was there, but on the return trip, I saw far floo much, and I Lisbon is one of the most ro- ,mantic cities in the world! at pre- ‘lsexnt. I3tPs a [poor [magazine that ihasn’m had‘ same story dealing with Lisbon. and! its refugees, its spies, the German Gestapo and such like. There has .‘b-e-en a wlhole series of moving pictures about Lisfbon, such: as “One Night in Lisbon,” “The Lady Has Plans,” and “Affectionately Yours.” The general idea seems to be What anything can happen in ’Lisâ€" bon. I believe that is time: any- thing can hapsp-en there, and‘ most of it does‘ happen. Some of the things that have happened are prdbâ€" albly more exciting than anything the fiction writers have prbducedv. But alas! Some of the true stories must be kept secret until after the war. ’Dwice the ship circled the- city, lesing- height, and came down on the river beside a Pan American Clip- per, preparing to leave in' a few hours. “How nice it would be,” I thought, “to transfer from one plane to the other, withou: elven bothering to go asihore.” But wartime travel isn‘t that easy in Europe. [one of the most beautiful of cities. The Berrwiok arrived' over the mouth of the T'agusi River just Ibefore the sun came up oven the hlll‘lls behind Lislbon. (The interior‘ of Portugal is quite mountainous in spots). Down below, a large. fleet of fishing boats could be seen on the Atlantic, most- ly little sailing ships, ’but a few steam; trawlers. Then there was Estoril‘, the health resort at the mouth of the river, and then IJiIs’bon set om several hills. A new airport was [being [built outside the city, with broad! modern roads leading- to it, in contrast to the narrow lanes of the city itself.

RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Lisibon is beauti- So is the rest of There is poverty everywhere- in Portugal and it intrudes: even on "to the (beautiful Avenida. Hundreds of women pass in an hour, with basâ€" kets on their head's containing silv- ery fish ocr grapes or flowers. Men carry cases of wine oa- heavier loads. Many of them have little fancy wimke‘f baskets with ya Iidl and handle. ‘I was curious: about 'them. One day I followed an old lady. She stoppâ€" ed) occasionally to pick things off the street. At last she sat on a bench and‘ I sat down (beside her. She opened! her hamper. Inside were, little bits of metal. 011 the lid' of the basket, she had) a horseshoe magnet. With the magnet, she tesrt- ed. all the metal scraps. The ivory ones she put in- one pile, the nonâ€" ferrous in another. There’s no need‘ for salvage campaigns in Lisbon. Nothing goes “to waste. Up and down the Avenida, there is a steady stream of traffic. 0n the roadways at the side, old-fashâ€" ionedr sitneet cars with open sides pass every few seconds. I never saw so many street cars on one ‘street anywhere. The automobiles are mostly tiny cars‘ and one could ride hallf a. mile in a taxi for six American cenrts. Most of the peeple are on lfOOt, many of them with bare feet. The Avenida do Liberdade is thL main street of Lisbon. The name, as you may guess, means “Avenue of Liberty.” It stretches north and south up a broad valley between Lisbon’s ten hills. The avenue is reputed to be one of the most 'beau- tiful in all the world. I don't doubt it. It is wide. Down each side is a broad roadrway. In the centre is a. fourâ€"lane highway. In between the outer strips and the centre, are gardens with [palm trees and edible chestnuts and) benches to sit on un- der the palms and‘ on the grass. Here and there are sidewalk cafes, where everything can be had to drrink from ice cream sodas and! strong cofrfc-e to much stronger things. The roadâ€" way oincles around many monuments or fountains with goldlfish swimming in 'the waters. And‘ all the sidewalks are of mosaic â€" little pieces of co?- or-edi mariblie laboriously laid‘ by hand into patterns» Not onva are there scrolls and flowers, but the histo-ry‘ of Portugal is written there for those who can read the language.
