&- THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1929 Hospitality and Kindness In Britain and Europe Leave Pleasant Memories Some Impressions of a Tour Made Through Great Britain and Several European Countries with the Can- adian Newspaper Publishers' and Editors' Party. (BY MRS. C. M. MUNDY) An outstanding feature of the recent European trip of the Cana- dian Publishers was the hospital- ity extended to the members of the party by the governments, munici- palities and journalistic organiza- tions of the various countries visited. The party numbering fifty and composed chiefly of editors and proprietors of Canadian newspap- ors with their wives, left Montreal on June 6th on the C.P.R, liner Montelair, and included Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Mundy and Mr, and Mrs. E. A. Lovell of Oshawa, Just in passing, a word might be said in favor of this great company's steamers and the excellent service rendered by its officials, every- thing possible being done for the comfort, convenience and enter- tainment of passengers, Arriving at Cherbourg, France, on June 14th we were taken by tender to the dock where we were met by Mr. Wm. Ingram, a former Canadian, now President of the Foreign Newspaper Association , of Paris, and by James Russell, representative of the Guild Travel Bureau, who took charge of our affairs, efficiently and satisfator- ily conducting ug through the Continent and British Isles until embarking at Liverpool for home. We at once entrained for Faris where we arrived about eight o'clock after a delightful ride through the quaint old villages and beautiful rural scenes of Nor- mandy. At Paris, as in other cities, We were met at the station by members of the press, who extend- ed a hearty welcome, at the sate time showering us with invitations to many social functions. ° The First Function At Paris there were two out. standing affairs in our honor, the first a dinner given by the Bien- venue Francaise, an organization composed of government and mili- tary officials along with many prominent men and women, and formed for the pushes of further- ing friendly relationship between nations, This dinner, an elaborate affair, was given at the Chateau de Madrid. Covers were laid for two hundred and fifty guests, in- cluding not only. representatives of what might be called the brains of France, but also members of some of the oldest and most aristo- cratic families of the country. The magnificent quarters of the Interallied Club, of which the late General Foch was President, were behind zie Wheel KJI¥TEL you live driven it you can possess only a superficial know. {edge of Chevrolet.

Madame 's : Kindness In speaking of Paris one must not overlook the kindness of Mad- ame Roy, who, in the absence of her husband, The Honorable Phil- lipe "Roy, Canada's representative at the Legation, wag hostess in her home to the Canadian party, and also at the offices of the Legation. This charming and capable wo- man was born in Canada in a tent at the foot of the Rockies. She was a granddaughter of George McDougall, who graduated from old Victoria College, Cobourg, and was the first missionary sent to the North-West Indians. Madame Roy received part of her education at Ontario Ladies' College, Whit- by, finishing in Scotland. She is truly Canadian, taking great in- terest in anything affecting Cana- dians in France. One of her hob- bies is the Hostel for Canadian Students in Paris, and it was our privilege to visit the fine estab- lishment with her. Beautifully furnished recreation rooms and at- tractive bedrooms afford accom- modation, which can be had at a very low cost, for forty-five stud- ents, Trip to Vimy Ridge Probably one of the most inter- esting days in France was the one devoted to the trip to Vimy Ridge. Leaving Paris by busses at 7.30 am we drove out through St. Denis and along the road travelled by so many soldiers during the years of the Great War. Our jour- ney led us through many towns whose names were fam!iiiar dur- ing those years, such as Albert, Amien, Arras and others, At A:- ras we were joined bhy' General Hughes and Captain Simpson, Canadians in charge of the mem- orial work at Vimy. Vimy Ridge is, by the way, a high ridge of land extending for many miles along the northern portion of France. It hrg: ever been consid- ered a point of vantage and.has been an important point of con- quest in all the wars of France. Many cemeteries were passed en- route, all beautifully kept.. The graves of the Allies are marked with white crosses. and those of the Germans with black. All houses and buildings in tlds district are noticeably new, replacing those destroyed during the war. Ab- sence of trees was very evident, these too having been completely wiped off the land One could not but be impressed by the courage and optimism displayed by the French peoples fn the manner in which they have rebuilt their old homes and are carrying on in their former way of living. Canada's Memorial Two hundred and forty acres of the land, being a portion of that which was successfully held by Canadians on Vimy Ridge, have been deeded to Canada by the French Government to be kept as a memorial. We were taken through German and Canadian trenches and tuhnels. One of the nine tunnels built by the Cana- dians in this section is being rein- forced by concrete and preserved as much as possible in its original state, Until seen, one really has no conception of these tunnels, and even in their present state since having been cleaned out and im- proved, one can scarcely imagine them used as they were for living quarters for weeks at a time, The one thruogh which we were taken was composed of one main tunnel with different smaller ones branch- ing out in all directions. It was hewn and dug out of chalk and clay. Many names are carved and written on chalk walls, It is in some places over a hundred feet below the surface of the ground and at intervals rooms are dug out along the sides. In these, many articles of wearing apparel aud cooking utensils are still to be found, One felt if these things could speak, many {interesting in- cidents, both humorous and path- etic, would be related. It was with feelings of relief that we émerged from the damp chill-of this under- ground world to find ourselves once more in the sunlight. Most of us came out with a new vision of the awfulness of modern warfare, and many a head howed in silent tribute to the memory of those who lived for months in such places that the victorious end might be accomplished. Ag if in contrast to all this gloom and misery, on the highest point of the Ridge overlooking the city of Lens, the Canadian War Memorial is slowly but grandly rearing its magnificent tribute in carved stone to the memory of those who fought and died in de- fense of justice and right. Picturesque Villages On our return trip we passed through many picturesque French villages along winding streets =o narrow that one doubted the pos- sibility of our huge conveyances passing through without tearing out the corners of the houses. The quaintest of these was "Senlis" where we stopped for dinner. Here at the hotel we found our tables decorated with Union Jacks. This little village was occupied by Ger- mans for a week at the beginning of the war, its Mayor and eight citizens being shot 'in its defense. From here the Germans retreated and did not again come as near Paris, a distance of eighteen miles. We arrived back at our hotel about eleven o'clock, very tired, but sat- isfied with our day spent among scenes which are so rgtrongly link- ed with the history of our Dom- ion : Wonders of Paris The rest of our time in Pafis was spent in seeing, the beauties and wonders of that famous old city. Notre Dame Cathedral, Na- poleon's Tomb, the Hall of Justice, the Arc de Triumph, the Louve, Versailles and many other' places notéd for their architectural beauty priceless art treasures and historic interests, as well as the beautiful parks and drives with their fine old trees, theatres, res- taurants and shops were visited. Middle Europe Leaving Paris by train on the morning of June 19th, the ride through France and the south of Germapy to Austria gave us a re- markably fine idea of that part of Middle Europe. Here one finds cui- t A CANADIAN-MADE PRODUCT tivation of natural resources at ils height. Whether in farming or forest lands, every foot of ground, seems to be used to advantage, It was haying time and hundreds of women and children were at work in the fields, One sees very few farm buildings, the people living in villages or towns and going out to work their small fields, bring- ing in their produce by various means of transportation, the ox- cart and man-drawn vehicles being the most popular, Entertained In Vienna Arriving at Vienna early next mornifg we were received by meni- bers of the press and civic officials who assured us that an extensive program of entertainment had been planned for us, Vienna is so rich in places of beauty and inter- est that one scarcely knows where to begin a description of it. There is a peculiar charm about both city and people. One soon comes to feel at home in Vienna because of all its spontaneous courtcey, No one could long remain discourteous in such an atmosphere. It is just a remnant of the Grand Manner, yet a beautiful manner withal. It has been born and bred in these people for centuries. An Artist People Someone has said that the Vien- nese are a charming Artist People. In Vienna one is shown the homes and haunts of such men as Schu- bert, Mozart, Beethoven, Sirauss and others who have been not only citizens of that city, but in a sense citizens of the world, for all the world has shared their work, Here one finds too some remarkably fine examples of Gothic architec ture, The Cathedral of St, Steph- ens and the Rathaus or Town Hall being the finest Schonburnn Pal- ace and Park, the Vienna Art Mus- eum and the Parliament House were also visited, A Delightful Luncheon Here we were entertained at a luncheon given in the Imperial Hotel 'by the publishers and jour- nalists of the city. This was a most delightfully planned affair, every- thing being strictly Viennese. The orchestra playing the Blue Danube Waltz as we entered the dining saloon gave us just a foretaste of the fine music we were to hear during our visit, Jazz has appar- ently not yet made its appearance on the dinner music programs of this music loving people. The table decorations on this occasion were Viennese ~wild-flowers ar- ranged in oval centrepieces, the food prepared in real Viennese style and the wines also peculiar to the country. The Austrian Gov- ernment entertained in the Parlia- ment Buildings in the evening and another luncheon was tendered by the Municipal Council. The gentle- men who had so royally entertain- ed us came to the station to say goodbye, Each lady was presented with buquets of roses and the whole station population waved and cheered as we pulled out sing- ing, "Oh, Canada." A Day in Prague Our day spent in Prague, the capital of Czeco-Slovakia, was fill- ed with interesting events, This small country was known until recently as the Kingdom of Bo- hemia, Its situation between the larger and more important coun- tries has laid it open to much dis- pute and conflict. To us its inhab- itants seemed a simple, industri- ous, peace-loving people. The news- paper publishers and City Council entertained us most graciously and the many quaint old buildings and streets of the city made one wish to linger and enjoy more fully, The St. Vitus Cathedral was one of the oldest and most unique edifices visited. Here one finds the Chapel of St. Wenceslas, the patron saint of the Czecks, made familiar in England by the Christmas Carol, "Good King Wenceslas." Train Trip to Germany The train ride from Prague to Berlin, Germany, afforded a pan- orama of changing landscape of unusual interest. The grandeur of mountains and the beauty of -fer- tile valleys filled ¢~~ with awe and admiration At Doriin we were most cordially received and hos- pitably entertained by the German Foreign Office, the German news- paper publishers and the City of Berlin. The luncheon at the fam- ous airport, Flughaven, and after- wards the flight over the city in a plane, being the most unique of the attractions provided. From this flying field twenty-four planes leave and twenty-four arrive daily on regular routes, Flying is cer-- tainly carried on more systematic- ally and extensively in Europe than on thig continent. Berlin is a modern and advanced city. The efficiency and cleanliness of both people and substantial buildings strikes ome forcibly, It is differ- nt from the other cities visited, pasmuch as it lacks the mellow- ness of age, nor doeég it boast of ancient buildings, One looks for those things elsewhere in Ger- many, A sail through the lake re- gion. to Potsdam .atforded a happy varfation, At Potsdam one sees the summmer residences of the former rulers of Germany, At San Souci, the palace of Frederick the Great, and the new palace of the ex-Kaiser, we found many art treasures and wonders in decora- tive achievement. The evening's entertainment at the City Opera as guests of the sy completed the very busy and profitable program in Berlin. the Rhine > Most of us had read and heard of the trip down the Rhine and it is safe to say none were disap- Pointed. A warmer day might have added comfort, but one forgot the clouds and chill as they lost them- selves in wonder at the revelations of natural scenic beauty of this river with its romantic old castles, its historic old towns, rich in le- gendary lore, its miles of vine- yards and its ever passing display of commercial enterprise. Arriving at Cologne in the early evening we were received and entertained by the newspaper publishers and City Council. Our stay here was very short as we left at ten o'clock in the morning, but mot without a hurried visit to the Cathedral, a Gothic structure of unusual beauty dating back to the Tenth Sentury, but not completed until Through Belgium The ride through Belgium to Brussels brought back to memory Places and scenes made familiar during the war. At Brussels we were looked after by publishers and city officials. The City Square surrounded by historic Guild build- ings and the City Hal built in the Fourteenth Century, possessing some marvellous old tapestries were well worth seeing Brussels seems to be a particularly busy place with few evidences of unem- ployment. Some took advantage of their nearness to visit the battle- field of Waterloo, thus renewing acquaintance with the historical scenes of the past. The Congo ex- hibit proved an unusually inter- esting feature, Interesting Holland We arrived about eight o'clock at The Hague, Holland, and were driven to Schevinengen about ten miles distant. This is a delightful seaside resort with its typical boardwalks, 'numerous summer (Continued on Page 10) The distinction between and wrong disappears when con- science dies, and that between fact and fiction when reason is neg- lected.--Kirsopp Lake. right The younger generation must' learn the lesson of life for them- selves, and they will learn it bet- ter if they are not lectured to by their elders.--Earl of Balfour. HELD ON LIQUOR SELLING CHARGE Crown "Attorney Refuses to Accept Bondsman Offered \ Oscar Hill, a Finnish immigrant, was remanded {ia custody until Sept. 11, when he was charged in police court yesterdsy with having liquor in a place other than a priv- ate dwelling. "Coul I get bail?" the accused asked through his interpreter, Os- wald Salo. . "Bail will be fixed at $2,000," the Crown stated. Hill with bis interpreter waited in the court room while several other cases were proceeded with. A few minutes later Georye Laska arrived. . Hill and Laska were asked to stand up by Magistrate Hind. "You wish to go bail for: this man," Magistrate Hind comment ed to Laska. The latter replied in the affirmative. "I can not accept Laska as a bondsman," Crown Attorney Mc- Gibbon stated. Hill will have to secure other bail or remain in jail until his trial. Remanded in Custody George H. Xing, who was arrest- ed in Winnipeg by Detective Ser- geant H. Flintoff, on charges of fraud, was remanded in custody until Tuesday. TIES' STAFF HAD PLEASANT OUTING Corn and Weiner Roast Held at Simcoe Point Wednes. day Night Members of The Times staff with their friends enjoyed a very success- ful corn and weiner roast: held at Simcoe Point near Pickering, Wed. night. Over forty-five persons were in attendance and according to re- ports quick work was made of the good fare which was provided. All de- partments of the paper were repre- sented. Luscious ears of golden corn form- ed the principal article on the bill- of-fare. Smothered in butter and be- sprinkled with pepper and salt they proved very appetizing while a blaz- ing camp fire with the pungent wood smoke curling into the sky added real zest to the proceedings. It is not known whether there were any corn borers nestling in the cobs or not, but if such was the case they went the same way as the kernels. Certainly no one complained of any ill effects from the feast even if the odd borer may have been swallowed inadvertently.
