A young Italian told us Communism is on the wane. Some Italians profess Com- munism to please their union bosses at the factories but are not so at heart and attend their Catholic churches in other parts of the city fn_om where they live. Italy is to have an election on ,May 25th and electioneering is quite a business here. When we stopped in the City of Siena, the entire population seemed to be in‘ the streets. Apparently a holi- day had been declared to allow the various parties to further their aims and loud speakers at times would break out in songs of the parties, some with quite a martial air. Huge stands with red posters on which are the hammer and sickle are in the squares of many cities. In Rome adjacent to the American Embassy is a huge banner “Vota Communista”. Sim- ilar signs appear in all cities as well as signs for many other par- ties. “Vota Democrazia Christani” and many such signs. We saw the usual things in Rome â€"- St. Peter’s Church where marks are made on the floor showing how other large cathedrals in the world could be placed inside St. Peter’s with room to spare. Saw The Pope For a city its size, Rome has few stoplights but in spite of the seeming thaos of traffic we have yet to see a collision since we arrived in Italy. The best shops are small, and on very narrow streets, no department stores. Sidewalks are about two feet wide on the narrow streets. They are now building the stadium in Rome for the 1960 Olympic games. Electioneering Rome is a city of nearly two million and in the newer sections huge apartment buildings are be- ing built -â€"- no room for bungaâ€" lows or single dwellings. Every apartment has a balcony with blooming plants and from which the daily wash flaps and flies. “We spent four days in Rome and it rained at least a part of every day. Italians say this is the wettest spring in years â€" just our luck. However we did the usual tourist haunts in spite of rain. Tourists are everywhere in Rome and one wonders what July and August must be like. Guides take crowds through the chur- ches and continue their lectures while at the various altars many people are kneeling in prayer paying no attention to the crowds. Italy will have an important election on May 25th, and interested observers of the spirited campaign now under way are Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Little of Richmond Hill who are enjoying a European tour. We are grateful for several interesting letters from Mr. Little telling of their travels and experiences. The latest is from Rome and mention is made of the general election in which the Communists are threatening the established government. Writing from Italy Mr. Little says: Rain In Rome I at an upper window of his palace R. D. Little In Rome Red Posters Prominent In The Italian Election RICHMOND HILL We drove out the Appian Way. the most famous of ancient roads leading to Rome. By way of con- trast we passed an imposing country place, the home of Gina Lollobridgia. The guides at the Catacombs where the early Chris- tians are buried were Irish priests with an accent straight from the old sod. Saturday morning, April 19th, we left by bus for Florence. More of that later.” We drove to Tivoli 21 miles ‘from Rome to the Vill d’este with its acres of hillside natural foun- tains, all below the river level causing the water to rise hund- reds of feet into the air. We re- ceived a bit of a thrill when the only American car at this ancient‘ spot was a new Edsel. On the way back to Rome we visited Ha- drian's Villa ,the vast ruin of the Emperor’s country sent, some- what remlniscent_ of Pompeii. To get back to Rome, we saw the Vatican Museum. the Sistine Chapel with Michaelangelo’s fres- coes, the ceiling on which he spent four years on his back painting and one wall on which is the story of the 'creation. The Popes are elected here. The Pantheon rebuilt by Hadrian to honor the seven planetary gods and consecrated for Christian Worship in 609. Raphael and King Victor Emmanuel II are entomb- ed here. We saw the Colosseum and innumerable churches.~ One needs a rubber neck and sound pair of feet when you start to see the storied City of Rome.- at an upper window of his palace and gave his blessing to the as- sembled throng. In St. Peter’s Square we met Gordon and Mrs. Ferris from Oakville. Most Can- adians wear a Maple Leaf. Have met several from Toronto. one young man who is on a scholar- ship ‘in Paris for a year.

"Local Birds” and was illustrated by many handsome coloured slides. On Wednesday of last week; the Richmond Hill Horticultural' Society held its annual uanuuu Show and although definitely cold shouldered by the weather, a very nice display was on view. Tastefully arranged by the con- venor, Mr. George Spratt. there were 43 entries, including daffo- dils, early tulips, house plants and arrangements.
