My brother who was a “Questor” five years ago also appreciated the fact that the quest took place under exceptional circumstances. Although it is not a religious movement and is open to all creeds it was of definite spirit- ual value. Our contacts were arranged with a view to our appreciating more fully the meaning of our Commonwealth today as well as bringing home to us the historical roots and great events of our past. By JANET THOMSON Iwas lucky to be one of a group 0f young people from Canada, the United Kingdom, Malta and Gibraltar who made up the 1963 Commonwealth Youth Quest. During the two summer months we travelled together through Britain, flew together to Malta for the gayest and also the most spiritually moving week of our tour before we Cana- dians said goodbye to the new friends we had come to know so well, and sailed for home in the Empress of Canada. We Canadians, 20 in number, first met in Ottawa where in the grounds of Government House before Governor General Vanier we made the pledge of all questors, “. . . my aim is peace, brotherhood and understanding. Why was this tour called a qqest and not just a tour?

He told us that with the questors’ aims before us we were “ambassadors for Canada”. We all wore a uniform of wine-coloured blazers with grey trousers or skirts (white for special occasions). Our shoulder flash read in gold, “Commonwealth Youth Move- ment” and on our breast pocket was em- broidered the name of our country. We were 35 altogether this year. (When John went there were 100 questors coming as well from India, Pakistan and more remote areas.) With such distinct uniforms, which, inci- dently we were all very proud of, it was no little wonder we were continually being stop- ped and asked “What is the Commonwealth Youth Movement?” “Who founded it?” and similar basic questions. _ Attractive Uniforms After our initial two days in Ottawa dur- ing which the British High Commissioner Viscount Amory had us for lunch and we toured the capital, we sailed from Montreal on the Empress of Canada. In Liverpool we were welcomed by the other questors and very quickly got to know each other, al- though the Maltese were at first quite shy.

After landing in Liverpool we travelled in a horseshoe through Britain stopping for several days at Carlisle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Lincoln and London. Going by bus most of the time we were able to see the countryside and scenery very well indeed, which needless to say impressed us all tremendously. The weather was a great surprise . . . it hardly rained at all! Billeted With Families In every town we visited some of the questors would be billeted with families, and so in leisurely after-dinner conversations we became very aware of what English and Scottish life was actually like. Our host: warm welcome made us feel personally that this was one of‘ the very great advantages of our quest. We were given scrumptious meals . . . and endless cups of tea at all possible times of the day and night, includ- ing one in the morning in bed as a waker- upper. u‘ A typical daily programme began with a scramble to arrive at our appointed meeting place . . . sometimes as early as 7:30 a.m.! Punctuality was keenly stressed. If you didn’t make the rendezvous you were left on your own initiative to “catch up”.

We would then be taken to see particular buildings, factories or sites important or unique in the city. Through the connections Major Ney has made through the years we were privileged to meet well-informed and public spirited people and did things that would be hard to do travelling on one’s own. At the end of each stay fond goodbyes and usually “three cheers for the hosts” came from the departing bus load. It was amazing what close friends we made. A marvellous week in the fascinating city of London was followed by our flight to Malta for one of the hottest and most; glorious weeks I’ll spend for a long time. Because of the heat we were given lots of free time in which to enjoy the company of wonderful hosts. They took us to dances: parties had been arranged; and we swam to cool off on the gorgeous beaches. The people are very tanned and are lovely to look at, except that as they get older the poorer people tend to get a little fat, pre- sumably from the starchy foods which are in the Maltese diet. Historically Malta is very ancient. Some of the buildings (actually underground) are THURS. & FRI. 'TIL 9 PM. OPEN DAILY 'TIL6 RICHMOND HEIGHTS CENTRE .

Luckily for us nearly everyone speaks perfect Eng- lish. All Night Vigil ‘ Because Malta was the focal point of the 1963 Quest it was there that our most im- pressive all-night vigil was kept. Three questors at a time came to the church for half an hour, kneeling at the altar lit only by a. single candle, there to contemplate silently and pray until the next three made their silent entrance. On our return to Britain we were given a. glimpse of Welsh life at Cardiff before com- ing to our last stop, Birmingham. From there we finished our quest in grand style by going to Stratford-oanvon to gee Julius ,L LL- no --....---._ -_- -7 Caesar, and lastly attended a service at the much-talked about Coventry Cathedral. In spite of my opinions to the contrary I found the cathedral terribly impressive and en- joyed and admired everything about it. On August 20 the Canadian members sadly parted from the other questors and sailed for home. We are now joining the genera- tions of questors who told us about their unforgettable summer . . . and as a questor I’ll remember our motto: “First unto God and then to the Queen”. » 77o PLASTIC GIRL DOLL 16" high with cotton dress and panties. ‘ LITTLE NURSE AND DOCTOR.
