Weekly Editors Write About Old Inns of England Some Odd Names and Interâ€" esting Hostelries, â€" ~(By Walter Legge) Followlng the completion of the Bomâ€" ber Press geries of articles, some reaagaâ€" ers have enquired why there was not one article about the old inns the party visited . Buch an article really has little to do with the war effort, so that it could not properly belong in the Bomber Press series. However, the old inns play a most important part in the uie and history of England, and we naturâ€" ally visited a number of them. THURSDAY, JUNE 10TH, 1943 Nearly every settlement of any size in England possesses at least one ancient inn well worth a visit, with an interestâ€" ing history and picturesque architecâ€" ture. Probably the most famous, to Canaâ€" dians at least, is the Olid Cheshire Cheese in Fleet Street, which dates back to 1667. It was a haunt of Dr Johnson, Oliver Goldsmith, James Bosâ€" well, and many other famous men. It has been badly battered in the raids oi London, and its famous dish, beefâ€" steak pudding, is out, probably for the duration. It was serving beverages when the Bomber Press was in London. One of the first that we visited was "Skindle‘s Hotel" at Maidenhead, which is not a very old Inn but is quire famous, and was very popular peiore the war on account of its superb locaâ€" tion on the Thames. Our party can testify that an excellent meal is still being served there. Our home for many days was the "Old Ship‘". hotel at Brighton, one of the best known of the numberless hotels at that seaside cily. It was here that Dickens spent ten days in 1837 when he was writing "Oliver Twist," and he described his quarters as "a beautiful bayâ€"windowed sittingâ€"room, fronting the sea." (Could it have beeu the same» rcoom .thatk was occupied by Messrs. Charters and Legge while there?) This was far from the only time that Dicâ€" kens stayed at the Old Ship, and he wrote from this hotel to George Catâ€" termole who was illustrating the "Old Curiosity Shop." Dickens is known to nave made many trips to Brighton anc probably was often at this old hotel. It fdid â€"not take us long to discover that the best meals in England in warâ€" time are to be found in some of the smaller Oold:inns, and two of the best meals we‘had while there were served at the"White Hart" at Lewes, only a few miles from Brighton. At this.inn, the carving is done in the dining room by Mrs. Walton, wife of the The building is a very old one dating from the fourteenth century, and was the home. of the Pelham family. from which family came the Dukes of Newâ€" tastle and the Earls of Chichester. The mansion was turned into an Inn about 1717, and since then:â€"has entertained many celebrities. After our sccond meal there, Mr. Walâ€" ton took the party through the wine cellar of the Inn. This cellar is reputâ€" ed to have been used to confine prisâ€" oners ‘during the Commonwealth perâ€" lod, and is referred to in this connecâ€" tion is "Ovingdean Grange" by Harâ€" rison Ainsworth. There is some very fine oak panelling of the Tudor parioc in the two drawing rooms. Another fine meal at a small Inn was enjoved in the same district at u«.e Roebuck Inn at Wych Cross, the juncâ€" tion of two old Roman roads. This Inn is not an old one, although it is made to look antiquated. Grantham, in Lincolnshire, has two famous old inns, the "Angel" and the "George". The latter, at which we had a delicious lunch, proudly displays a brass plate setting forth the the phrase Clean Rooms Cor. Spruce St. and Third Ave. The King Edward Hotel Day or Week ~Neflzun‘s Very Reasonable Rates Quiet Atmosphere 324 The Chocolate Cocoa in Dickens‘ "Nicholas Nickleby" which heads, ‘"‘Twenty miles further on, two of the front outside passengers wisely availing themselves of their arrival at one of the best inns in England, turned in, for the night. at the George at Graâ€" tham." The George dates from 1780, but does not look as interesting as the Angel goes back to the fifteenth century and once lodged Richard III. Bristol has many fascinating old irins,‘ probably the most interesting being the "Llandoger Trow" which was bulit in 1664, one of the a block of halfâ€"tim>«.=â€"| ed houses by the Welsh Back quay. The quay is cobbleâ€"stone, and the mooring posts are ancient ships‘ cannon. It was from here that the “Hispaniola"' of Stevenson‘s "Treasure Island" ses out and the Llandoger Trow was probâ€" ably the "Spyglass". Bristol was one of the most famous pirates‘ haunts n the world, and some of the most notorâ€" ious pirates came from there, such as Capt. Edward Teach, (Blackbeard, as‘ he was called), Capt. Bartholomew Roâ€" berts, and the pirate woman, Mary Kead. The cellars of the Llandoger Trow were used as temporary prisons by the Press gangs, and also for rum runnmg, and one passage leads to the Welsh Back quay, and another to the Theatre Royal. Many famous people have been enâ€" tertained at the Llandoger Trow, inâ€" cluding Henry Irving, Wilson Barrett, Kate Terry, Beerbohn Tree, and Judge Jeffreys. In it Defoe met Dr. Selkirk, the original of Robinson Crusoc. The ceiling of the bar is now a shiny black, but it is said that originally, was covered with excelelnt paintings of scantily clad ladies, but some 200 years ago a fascinating widow who kept the Inn had them painted over with black because the seamen admired the paintâ€" ings instead of her. Salisbury, which some of us visited one Sunday has a number of famous old Inns. We were strongly recommenaed to get our lunch at the "Haunch o1 Venison" but found that it did serve meals on Sunday. This is beâ€" lieved to be the inn described in Dicâ€" kens‘ "Martin Chuzzlewit" where ‘i0oin Another Bristol Inn which looks as if it might have a romantic past is the "Hatchet". This was first pointed out to us one moonlight night as we were returning from an evening at the Savâ€" ages‘ Club. In the deserted street by the eerie light of the moon it appearea as if anything might happen there, but on a subsequent visit in the dayâ€" time, it seemed to lodge nothing more sinister than a dart game. These dart boards are tremendously popular in England and may be found in almost every hotel. An inn which will be remeimbered by most Canadians who were in theâ€"last war is the Royal Anchor at Liphook. One of the features of this hotel is that all the rooms are named after famous people who have occupied them. THs Inn dates from 1745. It is famous for the immense and very old chestnut tree in front of it, and also because it was a haunt of Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton. It has to share that fame with a great many other places, neâ€" cause I concluded that there are as nany places in England where Nelson and Lady Hamilton sojourned, as there are places in America wnere Georz~ Washington slept. Pinch went to meet Marin Chuzzlewit. and also where Tom returned after his dismissal from Mr. Pecksniff. Another hotel in Salisbury whicn figure in the same book is the White Hart, where Tigg and Jonas came an the night of their disastrous ride from London. The White Hart is quite a large hotel with the figure of a white hart on top of the front. This white hart can be seen for some distance down the street. We were noit able to get lunch at eiâ€" ther of these hotels and went to the County Hotel. Another interesting old inn at which we stayed with the Saracen‘s Head at Lincoln, but we could not i1 it had any special history. ‘The inns mentioned above are some that we visited or stayed at, but we passed large numbers of other plcturesâ€" que ones. With the various restrictions now in force, most of them are closed for a good part of the day. One other inn was worthy of menâ€" tion, the Northgate Arms, an old inn which is in beautiful condition, and at which we were served a splendid meal. It is situated a few miles from Bath and stands entirely alone. There are no end of inns in England called "The Marquis of Granby," but the Marquis of Granby kept by Mrs. Weller in "Pickwick Papers" was an ceniâ€" tirely mythical inn. We passed a greas number of them, one of the largest beâ€" ing in London on the Old Kent Roaa. The other hotels we stayed in in Engâ€" land were more or less modern ones, and have been mentioned in other arâ€" icles, 437 Wedding of Miss Peggy Smith and Mr. Owen Steâ€" wart..at Cochrane . Last Week. Wedding of Local Interest Held in Cochrane June 2nd Of locai interest is the wedding which took place at Cochrane, Ont., of Miss Peggy Smith, and Mr. Owen Stewarl, on Wednesday, June 2nd, at the Churen of Transfiguraiion.

Paratroops Find Battle Drill the Hardest Training Ottawa, Ont., June 9 â€" Canada‘s toughest soldiers, members of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion, a.c bearing down at Shilo Camp. Maniâ€" toba, on a training schedule designed to mould them into one of the Dominâ€" ion‘s most efficient fighting units. Parachute troops do a good bit of jumping which, to say the least of it, is spectacular, but that is only part of their dutiesâ€"the rest of the training being hard and wearisome. It includes battle drill, handâ€"toâ€"hand combat, tumbling, route marches of 20 miles and more, and a score of other things. Rising â€"at 5.30 a.m., the men run a couple of miles before breakfast after which they scatter to their designated training areas. Attracted by the "glamâ€" crous" part of their training, specilaâ€" tors climbed into an army "jeep" and bumped Oover the surrounding prairie, with its full quota of gophers, to the landing area. Although it was a cloudâ€" less, breezy day. conditions for jumping were considered to be only "fair‘". Paraâ€" troopers at the jump field explained that the breeze caused the jumpers to oscillate, that is, swing from side to side, making landings difficult. First "Stick" Of Jumpetrs Then conversation among the paraâ€" troopers died. Their ears had picked up the hum of an approaching airâ€" craft. The day‘s first "stick" of jumpâ€" ers was approaching the field. Ground personnel seattered to their posts as the plan‘s silhouette appeared to the west. Says Descent Fun ‘"‘The jumping is fun although got to take all the necessary precat to prevent injuries," he said. you won‘t see the most importani physically the hardest part of our t ing here at the jump field. If you ly want to see soldiering drop in 0 other training areas in the camp. A large group of Ontario parat ers was found engaged in mortar Working three men to a mortar, drilled, repeatedly assembling and ting up their guns in preparatiof ground <panels. All eyes followed the machine until it was directly over the jump panels, two yellow canvas arrows spread on the ground. Suddenly black specks appeared in breathâ€"taking rapâ€" idity as the paratroopers tumbled from the plane and "hit the silk." An officer standing nearby was counting to himâ€" self, "one, two, three," until all ‘chutes blossomed out. The descent was brief. "How‘s she going, kid; hold your hats; all out next stop," were some of the things the dropping paratroopers shoutâ€" ed. From the ground came shouts of advice from instructors; "make a rignt body turn; check your feet, fellows" and "roll with it." They hit the ground in close order, tumbled over and began spilling the air from their ‘chutes. The first to land was Pte. Fred Walâ€" deck of Woodstock. Ont., one time flour miller. It was Waideck‘s sixth jump and when he completed rolling his parâ€" achute he trudged off with his pack to an arimy truck, a halfâ€"mile distant, which took the jumpers back to camp. But before deaving he voiced the typâ€" ical attitude of the paratroopers to their training. Making a wide circuit of the field the aircraft swung into the wind and lned up for the approach over the colored ing. From prone positions they theirn feet, dashed forwar rds and completed the setting ain and again the procedure Wws ated. This was soldiering. Nineteenâ€"yearâ€"old Pte.

Joe Lacasses, 23, of Dpasatik, Ont., a fcrmer machinist. . Lacasse, who had made nine parachute descents, was shouting to his men to "lob ‘em high and accurate." Heavy dummy grenades, used in instruction work, soared through the air and plunked down reaâ€" sonably close to the target. "Not good enough," called the tall, cleanâ€"cut sergeant. "You‘ve got to do lots better than that if you . to kill Huns." And so it went.. Were thess men not in perfect physical conâ€" dition there would have been many 4 sore arm among the group by evening. A visit to the canteen proved that paratroopers, like any other Canadian soldier, are fond of hot dogs and soft drinks.

Children in Greece "Ninetyâ€"five per cent of the Greek people have nothing left; unless more food arrives and kitchens are able *to remain open, the entire Greek nation is in danger of perishing", says a writer who recently visited the Axisâ€"occupied country and concludes: "No man has looked into *the face of ultimate horror unless he has seen Greece todayâ€"a whole nation brought to its knees to writhe in filth and expire of hunger." Stark pictures of mothers dying emaciated children too weak to cry, are painted in the story reprinted by perâ€" mission of the American Mercury. Here a2re extracts: "I made the round of Athens. Our first stop was a dispensary, the waiting room full of mothers holding chalky, emaciated babies. Somg sucked at dry breasts; other grimaced painfully from the torture of hunger. They were too weak to cry. Many with eruptions all over their bodies had their hands tied to prevent them from tearing at their skin. "We delivered a few ounces of oil to Helene Souteriou who appeared wrapâ€" ed in a horrible covering. She had traded all her furniture for food on the Black Market and had torn most of the boards from her floor for heating. Her three children lay weeping in a corner. The week before her husband and one child had died and the corpses remained for three days. I learned later Helene had become insane. "Irne Manolaki was sitting with her starving family. In five days she had lost her husband, two of her children and one grandchild. Sophia Nioloreizou had five children swollen with disease. A young widow lay deathly sick in her bed, holding a dying child in her arms. These are typical examples. Charalâ€" ambos Potoudes had planted an acre of potatoes. Three days before he was to harvest, a squad or German soldiers arrived with a portable kitchen and. singing gaily, dug, pe€led, cooked and canned the potatoes. Potoudes and his entire family later died of starvation. A nurse went to the Germans to plead for milk. An officer replied: ‘"*We haven‘t enough for our Luftwafle, so obviously there is none for the civilian population." Ssays this writer: ‘"This is Starvaâ€" tions!" It is the starvation of a nation which the Greek War Relief Fund in Canada, with cother agencies is trying to overcome. Food and medicines are shipped monthly and to keep up the reâ€" lief, $500,000 must be obtained for needs of the year to come. All supplies will be bought through the Canadian Red Cross. All supplies will be distributed in Greece through the International Red Cross. Optometrists, Osteopaths, Needed in the R.C.A.F.
