rehef to be able to ask for directions in the english language and get them the fields and farms in eng land are biaeer than in france france has a much greater number of small properties at leat in farming the trarsc in london doesnt seem nearly so fast as it is in paris and it is twice as easy to get across a busy street xo- body in the world could be more polite than the london police the london subway is clean er faster far more expensive and twice as complicated as the paris subway however i soon got tired of it and since there are far too many stairs to climb i used the buses they are slow and cold but no stairs to climb and you can see a lot from the top of a doubledecker bus four years ago rationing was on but now 1 am amazed at two things the butcher shops are full of carcasses of sheep and hogs and quarters of beef also the prices are so low the english people grumble about the high cost of living but then it is a normal state of af fairs for the british to grum ble a dinner which costs 150 in paris is only 75 cents in lon don and the tablecloth cut lery teacups and so forth are very much more nicely prepar ed we had some really nice dinners for 50 cents each and 1 was sorry to leave the wait resses in london have delight ful voices they articulate so clearly i dont wonder at so many english girls getting good positions in toronto i hink it is the voice that does it there is a wonderful lot of house building going on throughout the suburbs of lon don for an area of 50 miles around they are really nice houses although they have one fatal defect no heating sys tem it has snowed for the last three days and it is no pleasure to lie in bed in the morning and see your breath rise in the cold air most of the people use a hot water bottle in the bed but i prefer the hot water with some tea and sugar in it and put it into my tummy instead of into the bed j the hotels in france all had central heating but our hotel in london didnt and the first night we nearly froze to death in the morning we found a small gas heater with a gas- meter in the corner into which we put a shilling but shillings worth of gas wont burn all night so one of us had to get up at 2 oclock in the morning and put another shilling into the gas meter to prevent the fire going nut but the fire was so small and the room so big that we were still cold sometimes the coldest room in any english house is always the mr john baxter of picker ing was a sunday visitor at the home of mr joe mertens i hals snack bar is open for 1 business again after re-ovat- ling and

week we have had nothing but snow vp in scotland a night or two ago it was 10- below zero helicopters ate dropping food for the sheep xewborn lambs are dying because of be ing outdoors freezing to death right there the highway on which we crme down to the southwest of england was obstructed with i or 7 feet of snow and for half a mile we followed the snow plow then we were able to de tour we hafi planned to run ail over the place but the snow drifts are making it mighty difficult a couple of weeks aeo we went up to london and rent- mrs gtan martin ed a small car called a ford consul not a bad little car very similar to a vanguard but it has a righthanddrive and together with the left hand traffic it is or was a bit awk ward the cost is fairly reason able the charges being si 50 per day plus 5 cents per mile i pay for the gas but not for the oil in the cities i think that the english people are slimmer not quite so fat a the french people however in the coun try districts the people seem to carry a little more flesh we paid a visit to the little country school where i went as a chiiti i was amazed and delighted with what i saw at ii oclock a great big fan of hot cocoa was brought in the teacher set it on the table and the kids all clustered around some with their hats on and others without the students came over from another school where they also enjoyed a cup of steaming hot cocoa at noon the children have a good ho dinner there is a very nice kitchen which supplies some schools that are without one the dinners are taken several miles in heated containers if a family has only one child going to school he pays 10c and if there are two children attending the price is 9 cents if three or more children the price is s cents each of course they pay in english money but i have made it clear by using cents instead of pennies i noticed on the highway that some humorist had put up a sign low bridge 17fi0 yards ahead and sure enough by my speedometer it was exactly one mile to the bridge the highway signs here are among the clearest and best that i have ever seen anywhere ev ery village and hamlet is clear ly marked distances are given to the quarter mile such as blandford 3 miles well i guess ill have to quit so cheerio fred j yacher mr and mrs r f hughes brenda and george of medicine hat aha are at present visit ing with mr hughes parents mr and mrs geo
