As you have prob- ably gathered from these letters, most of which are Written about six am, neither space nor time permits a detailed account of our travels. But I’ll try to fill you in since the last letter which, if I remember rightly, was written in Holland on the day we were leav- ing for Belgium. That day we drove to Arnheim, scene of one of the bloodies» en- gagements of the last war. It was lhere in September 1944 that the British First Airborne Divis- ion, which included many Cana- dians, fought with great valor for nearly a week against great odds. Only 1,800 of these hard-pressed paratroopers managed to fight their way out of the trap. But in April of the following year, as you know, the British forces of the First Canadian Army took Arnhem and then pressed on to the “big kill.” All of that took place about six years ago but there still is extensive shell and bomb damage to be seen although we were told, In the evening there was a banquet at which Herb was pres- ented with the silver trophies he had won while Hugh Leslie, the champion Canadian tractor plow- man, and I received books dealing with the history of Cornwall. In addition we received plaques bearing Cornwall’s coat-of-arms. They will alvx‘ys remind us of an occasion when we were entertain- ed royally and treated lavishly. But the variety of plowing me- thods that I observed at the Cornwall match only confirmed my opinion that what we nued is a set of standard rules for inter- national matches. When I was called upon to speak I urged the adoption of some such rules and as this was reported in the press I may hear from others here who share my ideas. LONDON, ENGLAND: By now you have probably heard that Herb Jarvis of Agincourt, the champion Canadian horse plow- man was the winner of two tro- phies at the West of England Championship Plowing Match in Cornwall. They were for the best overseas competitor and the best and in his class and natural- 1y we are thrilled about it. It was a good day for plowing â€"â€" some said it was the best match weather in years â€" and the soil cut like cheese. I would say most of the competitors were “artists” in the art of plowing. But unlike Canadian plowmen they used every conceivable de- vice to dress up their work. After the match we inspected the field and it was a beautiful signs to b' hold. EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the fifth of a series of weekly stories which V. C. Porteous, a director of the Ontario Plowmen’s Associa- tion, is writing about the visit of Canada’s champion plowmen to the British Isles, Belgium, Den- mark and the Netherlands. by v. c.

While there we visited What to us is a rather unusual business institution. This firm estimates and prepares bids on contracts for structural undertakings from a house to a huge engineering project. In order to do this they maintain research and experi- mental laboratories; huge draft- ing rooms; record libraries and just about everything pertaining to engineer’s estimates. It is the largest firm of its kind in the world, privately owned, and has been in business for 60 years. and could see, that a great deal of rebuilding and repair work has taken place since the end of the war. We visited the Belgium Agri- cultural Academy and Experi- mental Station.- This institution is much like'our Ontario Agricul- tural College at Guelph but it is not engaged in field crop experiâ€" mental work to same extent as is O.A.C. Later we had dinner in Brussels with representatives of the Belgium Agricultural Council, the Department of Agri- culture and the Esso Company in Belgium, who were our hosts During the meal we learned a lot about agricultural conditions in Belgium and the country gen- erally. , The following day'was Sunday but we were able ,to do some shopping for most of the stores were open. Later we visited the site of the Battle of Waterloo, about 12 miles from Brussels. In my mind insofar as British his- tory is concerned it is one of the most important places in the world. The monument there is an earth mound 120 feet high which, we were told, was built entirely by women. 0n t0p of it there is a sort of pavilion from which one can see for miles in any direction. It houses a pan- oramic painting, the best I have ever seen, of the battle. The peoples of Denmark, Holl- and and Belgium differ from one to another in many respect: but all of them are alike in their love of their country. It’s my person- 31 belief that the only solution to the problems of western Eur- ope is union under one govern- ment but I doubt, in the light of this nationalism, if it can be ac- complished in the immediate fu- ture. The sad part is that these countries by themselves are com- paratively weak and represent easy prey for any aggressor, yet From Arnheim we drove across the Netherland-Belgium bordel to Antwerp and then to Brussels, two great Belgium cities that are so well known to the lads who served here in the two world wars. We did'not see as much of Bel- gium as we wanted, because to be in Cornwall on schedule We had to take the plane for London that night. To sum up our impressions of the continent the thing that stands out is the seeming indiff- erence of the people to prospectS of another war. It would amost appear that generations now liv- ing here are so used to the idea of war that its inevitability is taken for granted. To me it’s like living at the foot of 3 vol- cano, safe now, but for how long no one knows. if they united they would be a tower of strength. They all have a sincere desire to protect them- selves but they seem to be help- less }inder present conditions. At least, this is how it appears to But enough for now as we must get ready toleave for Nor- thern England and then to Scot- land.

The Tweedsmuir History of Richmond Hill, now be- ing compiled by the Women’s Insti- tute, rec'ords the following facts. One of the earliest owners of lot 49, Markham Township, was Col- onel Moodie. He was a half-pay officer in the regular army and had been Lieutenant-Colonel in the 104th Regiment, had distinguished himself in the Peninsular War and also saw active service in the. var of 1812. His residence was in the south-west corner of the farm and was built in 18.20 by a Dr. Reid. For many years there stood in Central Ontario Secondary School Association basketball games be- gan last week when Orillia Colleg- iate visiting Richmond Hill High School on March 7 and leavng with two wins. In the girls’ game Richmond Hill took advantage of the visitors‘ lack of knowledge of the local gym and baskets but in the second half the game shifted, with a final score for Orillia of 18 and 11 for Rich- mond Hill. Isabel Mashinter play- ed her usual spectacular game, slipping eight points through the hoop for the Hill girls. The boys’ game provided fast basketball, with the Ofiilia boys handling the ball as if they were born with one in their hands. The small local gymnasium bothered visitors at first and Richmond Hill gained a small lead ony to lose it Sale Of St. Mchael’s Property Recaiis Rebeilion Connection in the second half. Orillia boys sank fifteen foul shots alone. Local boys, however, played good basket- ball with some very pretty plays.

The third, too, was discovered on March 13, this time in 1930, when the planet Pluto was discovered by the Lowell, Mass., observatory. March 13 was also, Dr. Hogg pointed out, the birthday of the founder of the Lowell observatory, Percival Low- ell. ’ Dr. Hogg was introduced by Dr. Lillian Langstafl' and thanked by Miss Doris Leno, who presented her with a bouquet of spring flow- ers in expression of the club’s ap- preciation. President Mrs. L. Hawkes was in charge of the ga- thering. ia High on Friday last. Local girls were somewhat handicapped by a much larger floor and came out on the short end of an 18 to 8 score. The boys did not play as clean a game as usual and penal- ties were high. The Orillia team’s fast passing and excellent play! gave it a 51 score to Richmond Hill’s 24. Mr. C. E. Little reported on the progress of the joint project of the Horticultural Society and the Busi- ness and Professional Women’s Club â€"- the sanctuary at the Wa- terworks Park.
