It is reached by taking a bus An interesting- feature of the rhurch is' a (priv‘ate ‘gntrgqée from the Mgnpr Hohse which stands a few hundred' yards from the church.- The manor goes back to Anglo SaXOn times and the‘in‘eéent‘ Manor House is chiefly" known for haying been the home of the Penn family. The church itsélf dates back to 1230 A. D, for the south aisle, 1270 f01'.1;h‘e north aisle, but it is known that a church has existed here‘since before 1107 A. D. About 100 yards away is a stone monument iri Gray’s mengory on which are inscribed some verses from the Elegy. Gray himself was buried in the same tomb as his mother. His name does not appear on the tomb but a tablet in the church wall ne‘af'by records 'his burial “in thesame to’mb upon which he has so feelingly in? sci-ibed‘ his grief at the loss of a be- IOVed parent.” He was buried on August 6, 1771. Near the south porch still stands the ancient yew tree under which it is said that he sat and penned his famous poem. ing day, . The lowing herd winds slowly ‘o’er the lea, ‘ The ploughman homeward' plodsuhis weary way, ‘ A316 leaves the world to darkness and to me.” There are hundreds of similar churches and churchyards in Eng- land, just as old or older, just‘ as pretty, but Gray’s poem has made Stoke Poges famous for as leng‘ 5:15 the English language is spoken. 'It is recorded that Wolfe on the: eVe of the capture of Quebec quoted‘ this poem and as he came to ‘the line “The paths of glory lead but to the grave” said with prophetic words that, he would rather have been the writer of that poem than the man who'wou'ld take Quebec.‘ ' ' However with some little motor driving and by the use of buses I was able to keep continually on the ,move and see something interesting and unusual every day. As I mentioned before, by staying a-t a central place it is possible to get almost everywhere that one would wish to go. It is surprising to find that there is very frequent bus service usually about every half hour or hour, to/ almost any place within a reasonable distance. Everywhere I went: I heard the lament that my hosts could‘not drive me around as much as they wished on account‘ of the gasoline restric- tions. ' I shall try to describe a few 6f the interesting places I visited. Almost every hamlet in England has some ancient shrine, some particularly 61d or beautiful church, an ancient castle or some association with a famous writer, author, statesman or hero. One of the first places I visited was “Stoke Pages and there are a few anBre abeautiful spdts in Engâ€" land. To get to that famous church- yard I ‘took a “bus from- Amersham, a journey of about half an houn'and walked 'about a quarter of 'a mile along a 'tree and hedge bordfered road. : I Stoke Poges churchyard insp'ired Thomas Gray, the poet, to write what is considered the most fieautifulg poem in the English language, the: “Elegy in a Country Churchyard,“ which starts: ‘ : “The curfew tells the knell of part- There is one thought that contin- ually crossed my mind, and that is that the transportation systems, both railways and buses, are how govern- ment owned and operated. To cut the use of private cars to a minimum must force people to use the govern- ment transportation monopoly. ‘ To catch drivers with illegal’quan- tities of gasoline, all used for com- mercial driving is being colored, and if any of this colored gasoline is found in a private car, the punish- ment is really fantastical-1y severe. Bi 3 ‘ “111*!” WALTER u. LEGGE Article No. 5 Nothing seems to have such a deâ€" moralizing efi‘ect on the character of the English people as the gasoline restrictions, and motorists seem to attempt any kind of deception to get around them. In a desperate effort to enforce the regulations the authorities have set most severe penalties which ap- pear to be nut of alL proportion to the punishment for much more ser- ious offences. The new regulations in effect from June lst make it more difficult than ever to catch illegal users. Up to June Ist no car could travel on the road at all except by permit for essential ‘work. However there seemed to be thousands of ways to prove that the driving was essen- tial. S1nce June 1st it is not ncess-ary to prove that a can: is doing essential work, but the allowance of petrol is so pitifully small khat the automo- bile owner‘s ‘position is not much im: proved. ' ENGLISH When the Plague was raging in London in 1665» Thomas Ellwood, a Quaker, at the request of Milton located a small gottage at Chalfout St. Giles, where Milton moved to get away from the Plague, and it was here that he wrote most of “Para- dise Lost”. The Jordans Meeting House was built‘in 1688 and Was one of the earâ€" ly gathering plaCES for'the Quakers or Society of Friends. The early Quakers were subject to a great deal of persecution andl one of their greatest advocates in their time of trial and tribulation was _William Penn who in 1681 founded Pennsylvania. As might be expected the Meeting House is a plain and simple build- ing both inside and out, the exter- ior 100king mUCh like a most unasâ€" suming house. Before leaving Chalfout St. Giles a word should be said about its beau- tiful old church. The chancel and nave date from the 12th century, the north aisle from 1260, the Chancel arch from 1410, and the clock from 1710. In the entry is a list of in- cumbents untroken since 1217.

It is now a mu- seum, administered by ten trustees and Contain's first’ editions of “Para- dise Ldst," Paradise Regained” and numerous' ot‘nér items. It is a m0st picturesque spot with a beautiful old garden. " 0n the way from Amersham to Séer Green is the cottage at Chalfâ€" o'ut St Giles Where Milton wrote “Paradise Lost”.. On the walls sdme very old med- ieval paintings have recently been discovered and are now being re- stored. One is a scene of the be- heading-of Johnzthe Baptist showing the executioner and Salome.
