I think this is going to be the best part of the trip. It wasn t until Martha started to look up recipes that she realized Egyptian food was not to be found in the cook book, and encyclopedias were strangely non-commital on the subject. The table decorations pre- sented further difficulties. She didn t seem to have a thing that even re- motely suggested "Egypt. Finally she decided that the centre piece of the table would have to be a group of pyramids with a sphynx, but how in the world she was going to manage lit, was more than she knew. After she discovered she was could make very good loolxing pyra- in aper. The success of Martha s Indian 2 supper during which she and Tom _ visited Bombay in imagination, had gone to her head to such an extent that in an unguarded moment she asked Marge and her husband Charlie over to share with them `he thrill of their next stop in this make- believe trip around the world, which she had decided on was to be Eg_Vp'. ` She remembered Marge had said L something about wanting to climb L pyramids, and felt that she would . enter into the spirit of this kind of ; voyaging whether Charlie knew what . ;+ me an about or not.

The vessel, drawing too much water to pass through the Nar- rows, she gave place to the steamer Peter Robinson, which was built in 1834 and was conducting the lake Despite the League of Nations, Japan will probably emerge from the present conflict with China with such a hold on Man-churia as will take care of her surplus population, con- dently predicted Professor John MacNei1, formerly of Toronto, of the faculty of theology, McMaster Uni- versity, and president of the World's Baptist Alliance, who recently re- turned from a world tour. What impresses one in comparing China and Japan is the solidarity, of the Japanese and the intense in- dividualism of the `Chinese. The lat- ter industrious people lack the power of co-operation, and thus we see two ' governments ruling the country Witllr ' out the ability to unite even when Japan is hammering at the door and 2 taking a province. It is only 24 hours or so from ` Nagasaki to Shanghai, but it might ` as well be 24 centuries, so ancient ` is China in some respects.

The Peter Robinson was overhauled in 1839 and was re-named the Simcoe. Another steamer, the Beaver, was `launched in 1845. The steamboat landing on the Holland River was seven miles from {he lake, and the ul-Irnvl xrrae an xrorv nvnnkn and 112.?`- mues Il`0m. me lake, uuu um lriver was so very crooked and nar- row that the boat often ran her nose into the marshy banks and had to be pushed oil` with poles. This was a tedious e;~;',crience for passengers and led to the removal of the Beaver in 1850 from the old landing on the east branch to the Bradford bridge landing place on the west lbranch of the river This was said _;to be much easier to navigate, the ;;water being deeper, the stream broader and its course not so tortu~ yous or choked with marsh. But this _- led to opposition. A new steamboat, the Morning, was started in 1840, and ran from the old landing place, ' with disastrous results to both, for ` there was traffic enough for one and '_ not enough for two boats.

This nation-wide system is 21 new link in Canadian unity - :1 practical expression of the purpose which confederated this Dominion from sea to sea. The All-Canadian telephone line is an important advance in Canadian telephone development. It is equipped with twenty-two repeater sta- tions at strategic points and with every modern scientific device to ensure highest quality of transmission. It gives Canadians direct, rapid, and economical communication throughout the Dominion. This great project is the result of ten years of co-operative effort on the part of. Canada's seven major telephone systems, assisted by Canadian Pacific Railway Company's Telegraphs whose pole lines are used in certain sections.
