A $10,000,000 loan from the International Bank for In Bari On our first full day in Lon- don we went by train to visit the National Agricultural Experi- mental Machinery Institution which is operated by the Depart- men of Agriculture of Great Bri- tain. It is located at a place called Silsoe in Bedfordshire. It consists of 250 acres and was part of an estate formerly owned. by the Duke of York, now King George VI. There we met Mr. John ‘Haw- kins who has made an extensive For the benefit of those who did not read the first letter in this series I would like to ex- plain-that when I use “we” I mean Hugh Leslie of George. town, 0nt., and Herbert Jarvis of Agincourt, Ont., gold medal winners in the Esso Champions’ Trans-Atlantic classes for tractor and horse plowing respectively at the International Plowing Match last October. Top prizes put up by Imperial O'il were all- expense tours of the United Kingdom and Europe. I was ap- pointed manager of the team by the Ontario lPIowmen’s Associa- tion, sponsor of the International matches. Waiting on the dock to greet us were representatives of An- glo-American Oil Co. They help- ed us to clear customs and in a short time we were on the train to London. There we were met by officials of the Ontario House and they escorted us to the Cum- berland Hotel where we are in- stalled. “The Queen” made good time crossing the Atlantic. At six 8.. :m. of the fifth day out of New York she dropped anchor at Cherbourg, France. But she stay- ed only long enough to discharge some passengers and cargo and we were soon on our Way again to England. At one pm. “the Queen” docked at Southampton, our destination. There were facilities and ser- vices of every sort aboard includ- ing swimming pool, bar, tennis court, gymnasium, library, bank, drug and general merchandise shops; even a hospital with doc- tors and nurses. Fortunately we didn’t have to use the hospital but we found all the other ser- vices reasonable, in many cases more so than those to be had on land. The ship’s crew were most obliging and even though the ship rolled a little, life on the ocean wave was indeed agreeable. But to pick up where 1 left off in my last letter which was written the first day out on the Atlantic Ocean aboard the Queen Mary. As this was the first oc- ean voyage for all of us we nev- er ceased to be amazed. The ac- commodation and service on that big ship â€"â€" about a quarter of a mile long â€" was all that one could desire. We had coffee in bed every morning, which none of us get at home. We found the meals excellent and the menus had considerable variety. LONDON, ENGLAND: It is just a, little better than a week since we said good-bye to our relatives and friends in Canada and now we are in the great city of London. Our long anti- cipated “invasion” ofothe British Isles is now well underway. If the next five weeks prove to be as exciting as the past one, we will certainly have a lot to talk about when we get home. EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the second of a series of weekly stories which V. C. Porteous, a director of the Ontario Plow- men’s Association, is writing about the visit of Canada’s champion plowmen to the 151'it- ish Isles, Belgium, Denmark and the Netherlands. i, Bhopal, in India, _a _new plow cuts through Modern Methods Help India Improve'Fob'd Production by V. C. PORTEOUS * Direcror O NTA R IO CANADIAN PLOWMEN ABROAD After talking it over, we are agreed that the British people are facing and accepting their responsibilities with a fortitude and forbearance that is to be ad- mired. I think the secret lies in the fact that while they have less to eat, have fewer cars, do without many things that we take for granted, what matters most to them is that England survives. There can be no doubt that it will. Tomorrow we fly to the contin-. ent to visit Denmark, Holland: and Belgium. My next letter] will be from Copenhagen. Tillv then, all the best from the Can- adian plowing team. My first observations would be that England, more than live years after V-E day, is still suf- fering from the effects of the war. This is evident in such things as the number of old cars, the many buildings in need of re- pair and the old fashioned and dilapidated railroad equipment. Our opinion at this early stage are naturally subject to revision at a later date. Herb says the girls here aren’t as pretty as they are at home and Hugh says he hasn’t seen a new car since he arrived. In the evening we were guests of Anglo-American at a dinner and a show. I had some difiicul- ty in getting everything that was said at the show because it was delivered in that broad and proper English that is not, as you know, always spoken in Canada. Following lunch we were taken on a tour of the Houses of Par- iament at Westminster. A spec- ialuattendant explained details of the buildings and some of the customs and traditions that sur- round the “mother of parliam- ents.” We were deeply impress- ed with all we saw and heard. As a former member of the Can- adian parliament the visit was an experience I had looked forward to from the day I learned that I was to make the trip. Our tour ended at the resi- dence of Col. James S. P. Arm- strong, Agent General for On- tario, where we were guesrs at lunch. It was an enjoyable af- fair and among the other guests was D. A. Bruce Marshall, ag- ricultural secretary at Canada House who is the son of the late Senator Duncan Marshall, 3. for- mer Ontario minister of agricul- ture. The following day R. H. Stapleford of Ontario House took us on a short sightseeing tour. We saw many famous land- marks and districts and my feel- ing is that there is no city in the world quite like London. Even though there are big gaps caus- ed by flying bombs and air raids, it still has an air of grandeur and solidity. To these qualities may be added that of hominess. It is no wonder that our boys who were here during the war possess an affection for the city that is only exceeded by their love for their home town. study of plowing methods. When I mentioned that we in the On- tario Powmen’s Association are interested in setting up a stand- ard method of plowing to be used a t international m a t c h e 5 throughout the world, instead or the variety ‘of methods that are used today, he was in agreement. He offered to lend his assistance to any efforts we may make in that direcion. This was gratify- ing and makes me feel that the day may not be long off when we will have a universal stand- ard. Perhaps by the time 1 get .back home there will be more to report on this matter. ‘S ASSOCIATION Reconstruction and Development, a Specialized Agency affiliated with the United Nations, has helped the Government of India buy needed equipment for this land reclamation project; A Danish Pastry brought by Mrs. Madsen for each one present added to the cup of tea. and friendly chat after the meeting adjourned. Much merriment and a substan- tial donation to the funds, was the result of the roll call in which each member gave her waistline meas- urement in inches and deposited the equivalent in coppers in the Treasurer’s box. Mrs. Sayers in asking the mem- bers to stand in silent tribute to the late Mr. J. A. Greene, said Mr. Greene was always a supporter of the Women’s Institute and that he had never refused any request the Institute had made of him personal- 1y. As the members paid their respects to his memory the pianist played softly Guonod’s ‘Ave Maria.’ A box of tea and cookies is being sent to the Link Institute in Wales for its meeting and a donation was given to the March of Dimes. The Public School Audituuum was decorated with a huge snow man and the walls with large and small snowflakes which made a very appropriate setting for Miss Mary MacKay’s dance “The Snow- flake,’ in which in traditional hullet dress, she interpreted the falling of the snowflakes. Mrs. J. Madsen of Cherry Hill Farm, Unionville, was guest speak- er at the February meeting of the Women’s Institute. Her subject was Danish Cookery. She said that she was very glad to be able to show Canadians how to make Danish dishes but if she were in Denmark and was asked to give a cooking demonstration she would show them how to make the good pies we make in Canada. Mrs. Madsen thought everyone should have a hobby. “If we have not time for hobbies htat take a lot of time, we should make some daily task a hobby. If we put some var- iation into that task it becomes more interesting and it does not seem like work. With such a hobby we become happier and this happi- n‘éss is reflected to those around us.” The prevailing influenza and colds have had their effect on hockey as well as on many other lines of activity. But in spite of it all games in the Richmond Hill Hockey Clubs bantam league nave been played with the exception of an extra game which is needed to decide fourth place position, at present jointly held by Maple Leafs and Canadiens with six points each.

Plans are progressing for the 3-day Cooking School to be put; on by Robin Hood and sponsored by the Parish Guild on April 11, 12 and 13. Each evening on these dates we shall have the opportun- ity of seeing how the experts cook. Many hints on easy methods and planned meals, as well as a chance to see the latest equipment at work, will make attendance at the Parish Guild .Within the next ten days we shall know-definitely the date of the first Service to be held In the Church. Great changes are rapid- ly taking place as the Olav-terms do their work and we feel that the end is in sight. The New Church There will of course be special music for Easter, and shortly af- terwards the Service of Consecra- tion of the Church will be held. The Choir is busily engaged in preparing for three special Occas- ions in the near future. At the special service planned for Good Friday evening the Choir will sing “The Story of the Cross,” which will be illustrated with a famous set of coloured slides. Attendance at the eleven o’clock services is increasing and at the special 8 o'clock celebrations of Holy Communion held every Sun- day in «Lent the attendance is ex- cellent. As in most Anglican Churches the tempo of Parish activities in Trinity Church slows down during the season of Lent, for our minds are more and more focused on the Passion of Our Lord. Stress is therefore on our Church Services and on the Devotional side of the Christian life. Church Life There will be a combined church parade on Sunday morning to the Presbyterian Church, Richmond Hill for Guides, Scouts, Brownies and Cubs. Will all who can pro- vide cars please meet at Richvale School at 1030 am. On account of there being so much illness about at the present time, it has been thought advis- able to postpone the Parents Night which was scheduled for Friday, February 23 No alternative date has been set. Athough no definite date has been set for the Parents Night which has had to be postponed, it will probably ‘be held some time in May. In the meantime the boys will be busy. The cub leaders hope to complete arrangements for the cubs to take orders for Hot Cross Buns for Good Friday and the Scouts are planning a, paper drive for next month.
