prop rtttttt1svlltltl isy george abel of stouffville h vou ever visit london there is no doubt that piccadilly circus j anj leicester square will be included in your list of things to see the short distance which takes in botii the above mention ed places l thick with big cinema- theatres night clubs and eating places all of which are designed to separate the visitor to town from the contents of his ot her wallet while this district is well known its no different from the entertainment district of any big town and looks in general about the same as vonge st be tween duridas and adelaide even to the names of the pictures and the stars spelled out in lights over each cinema but less than two hundred yards south of loudons great while way are trafalgar square pall mali canada house and the strand which are all place- that must be seen uy all means see them youll enjoy it but instead of following the main road down to the east side of trafalgar square be brave turn sharp right into any of the little narrow eobblestoned streets and you will work your way down to ihe back of canada house on the west side ot the square its only a few minutes walk but the first time through most people spend at least half an hour just looking there are four or five streets in this little area and for something thats a little different to most london districts its hard to improve on the type of business place is varied there is unlike most sections of central london no one craft or trade that predom inates some of the business places and especially the three or four public houses are old and steeped in tradition but others such as tobacconists electrical goods shops etc with their modern store fronts do not seem at all out of place and the blend of old and new is quite pleasing most men would be glad to spend a few minutes outside a gun shop on the first corner two sides of the shop are windows and they are completely filled with guns in racks there is no advertis ing no prices on anything but guns from this shop have been used in the far corners of the world for over a hundred years among the rows of double barrel ed 12 bore guage shotguns in one window are a dozen that look odd the butts go in a half curve from the end of the stock and having a long nose i went in one day to find out why the answer is that they are hand made for left hand shots who sight with the right eye as most people do like every other of the hundreds of guns in stock these are hand made and picking one up i was surprised to feel that the balance was as perfect as if the stock was straight the quiet bespectacled salesman showed me a double barreled ms calibre big game gun that looked something like a boyes anti tank gun and assured me it packed enough stopping power to drop an elephant or rhinoceros in its tracks at a hun dred and fifty yards to save ammunition id just show a charg ing elephant the price tag of nearly a thousand dollars and feel sure hed drop dead with surprise tired of guns are you alright whats this tired looking stuffed fish in that funny old window across the street the sign in faded gold leaf over the doorway says kood delicacies the fish is a sturgeon and he shares the win dow with a pile of chinese birds nests for soup pickled snails a pile of leathery looking sharks fins and various dust covered bottles of caviar and odds and ends from all over the world if you dont fancy any o it i cant say i blame you for if those things are delica cies ill be only to pleased to stick to ordinary food in future and speaking of food heres a black panelled old coffee house of the type that have been common in londons side streets for a long time its called the victory and sure enough on the wall is a paint ing of nelsons ship and a bust of horatio himself occupies the place of honour on a shelf above the coffee boiler the place is old but the coffee is good hot strong and lots of sugar this particular spot is popular with canadians who work in the various canadian banks insurance companies tra vel agencies and government offices nearby at any hour of the day there is sure to be at least one argument going on over baseball or hockey the narrow street out side is usually crowded with people taking this short cut up to leicester square and if its a fine day some of the characters who frequent the district are sure to be in evidence a pair of street musicians who couple too busy for honeymoon celebrate 50 years marriage a pickering couple who 30 years ago didnt take time for a honeymoon when they got mar ried because they had to get down to farm work mr and mrs theo dore annan iven wed a half cen tury last week weve been working ever since thats the only thing that keeps us alive i guess quipped mrs annan who has a cheery lively personality we are good for another go years she added on saturday they had a wedding reception at their home on the old plant road when they were at home to friends both afternoon and evening neither husband or wife have any thought of retiring from work on their fine 50acre farm mr annan has the help of a hired man both were born on farms close to pickering village mr annan was born march 14 1s7g which makes him 70 at present mrs annan was born martha jane boyes daughter of the late mr and airs john boyes who also lived to celebrate their golden anniversary they were both brought up and educated in pick ering rev george mcgregor minister of pickering presbyterian church married the couple at the brides home on march 2c 1002 only one of the persons in attendance at that ceremony is still living that is the brides only living sister mrs e l chapman of pickering interest in their nome has con sistently been the chief aim of mr and mrs annan they had four children jack of whitby fred of pickering and mrs sidney wonnacott jeon of pickering a daughter marjorie died about two years ago are nicknamed flora and dora fill the air with music flora plays the accordion as if he was trying to squeeze the life out of it and dora sings in the highest shrillest voice ever heard in deference to the law which states that street musicians must keep moving or thev will be arrested for begging this pair shuffle slowly up and down when they both get really going its a wonder the tiles arent shaken from the roofs they feel that to earn the pennie thrown to them it is necessary to fill all london with music and must succeed fairly well a tramp called old harry conies grinning along exchanging remarks with the shopkeepers who look out at him the band of his fedora hat is full of turkey wing feathers and his old army greatcoat that touches the ground can hardly be seen for newspaper wrapped bundles hanging all over him down the street to the national gallery comes a man on a bicycle nothing old about that but this man wears a green beret a white jacket no shirt or socks open- toed sandals and blue shorts under his arms is a roll of paint ings and behind trots his dach shund who will stand guard over the bike while his master is copy ing old masters in the gallery fifty yards away is trafalgar square and the stone lions which are no more interesting than the people
