the usual business of the day j prince secretary quote from tolstoi it is plea sant to dream of eternity but for an honest man it is enough to have lived his life doing his work the beauty of england by george abell of stouffville how often have we heard and read of the beauty of the english countryside whoever it was that said oh to be in england now that aprils here certainly knew what he was talking about o course he was two months early this year for he would have drowned out in the country this april but now that flaming june has arrived the full charm of the out of doors is open to view and it draws people like a magnet from the cities and towns for rambles through the paths and lanes to their favourite beauty spot the absence of straight roads is a contributing factor to pleasure on a days outing practically the only straight pieces of road except for a few modern four lane highways are those that are built on or beside the old roman roads unlike canada with its straight businesslike roads laid out on a grid pattern the side roads seem to wander uphill and down- dale from farm to farm and village to village as if following the path of some peddlar in years one by these roads belong almost entirely to the hiker and oicyclist it is a treat to be able to walk with the children without the constant fear of speeding automobiles pushing vou into the ditch of all the english beauty spots the county of surrey is acclaimed as being at or near the top for variety and scenery it varies from flat land in the northern part which is the southern edge of the london area to rolling hills and wooded valleys in the south with a great escarpment running east and west through the middle of the county a great many men of the canadian army knew the west ern part of this ridge between guildford and farnham here it looks exactly like what its called the hogs back and is about the same height as the top of gravel hill north of stouffville you can look north and west to wards london and depending on how clear the day is see a dozen towns as large as stouffville by crossing the road which runs along the crest you look south towards chichester 30 miles away over the great pine forests that run close to the south foot of the hogs back on a clear morning or evening a number of roman watch towers are easily seen on the hills and heights of land to the south there are some breathtaking scenes in this part of the country you may come around a bend in the road and be faced with a wall of rhodedondron bushes ten feet high and a mile long flanking an estate they are now a solid mass of bloom of every colour red yellow white pink and the first time you see one of these flaming hedges is something you never forget or come over the crest of a hill and there on a slope before you is a big rambling manor house in prkmiek finds arm broken two weeks ago premier frost twisted his arm in a fall two weeks ago and thurs day while inspecting a hospital he mentioned to one of the doctors that his arm was not responding to home treatment an xray was taken as a result the premier is carry ing his arm in a cast the arm was found broken the price of canadianmade shoes may go up 5 per cent within a few months the editor of a shoe trade publication r v herman sen of montreal predicted in hali fax shoe prices would be boosted from 10 to 15 per cent because of a drop in canadian leather reserves worst pun or the weeu by iffy the dopester in the detroit free press rita scorns reunion with aly the moslems dont know what to mecca that a setting of informal gardens close by it is a cluster of flint- walled cottages and low barns which house the labour force of the estate some of the thatched cot tages on this area give you a feel ing they cant be real they must be copied from the pictures of olde english scenes but they are still doing a good job of sheltering families and raising children as they have since the time of good queen bess i asked a man what it was like living in a house with a thatched roof three feet thick he said fine warm in winter and cool in sum mer but they birds be turrible noisy in it nights and mornings another surrey view familiar to many canadian service men was from box hill at dorking for the worlds most productive farm land lies at your feet there are some groves of oak trees in the weald which must contain the biggest oaks in the world twisting through the woods and farms are roads leading to large estates which are owned by some of the worlds richest people no wonder they like to spend part of the year there for if the weather is fair it is a very pleasant place to live in being mid way between london and the sea and yet isolated enough to be rest ful five miles from here is the village of shere which has hard ly changed for two hundred years and as the real estate ads say must be seen to be appreciated but that is another story and will go into some detail at a later date wwwwywy
