open tuesday thursday and saturday evenings dont want to be a vicount special to tue tribune london england may 4th i dont want to be called viscount i people to call the vis- dont want count this is tbe plaintive refrain of the hon frederick penceval 14- year old son of the tenth earl of kguiout the rancher earl who came from alberta to suceed to the title and incidentally to find that being a nobleman has its troubles avon castle the new home of the karl and his son is approached by a private driveway one mile long which follows the course of the river avon the drive is lined on either side with rhododendron bushes already in bud with behind them a profusion of evergreen trees there are hemlocks pine and a variety of cedar it might be stanley park vancouver or a typical bit of northern ontario as the drive winds oil one catches tantalizing glimpses of the castle in the distance surely the earl as he drove up for the first time must have thought it allegorical for years he had been catching glimpses of this his castle of dreams mental pictures which had suddenly materialized just as the road takes an unexpected turn at the end and the castle stands revealed before you it is a beautiful spot back of the castle a forest of evergreens and to one side lies the river where on a small dock the earl and viscount stand fishing but they had not yet taken poss ession when the writer talked to themjjoth early one morning at the white hart hotel in sleepy ringwood rain was drizzling from the window panes there was nobody about this is the most miserable place i ever saw drawled the boy are you the young canadian i asked he sidled away with half a nod shake on it so am i for two minutes he looked suspiciously at me was this another ruse to coiner him and make him say what he did not mean then his hand shot out in a firm calgary grip and he grinned on op en frank canadian smile he reminded me of a small cow boy sheriff standing there hands in pockets with a soft gray hat pulled low over his keen blue eyes i wondered about the hat until i heard its history the earl had bought it for him the day before discarding the old farm cap ten minutes afterwards he was bargaining with the boots in the hotel corridor how much will you give me for this hat i dont like it but the earl was in the offing and trans action had to be abandoned the young viscount is surely the most miserable mortal in england everybody stares at him all day long people are pestering him for in terviews the small boys of the town cluster round and try to get him to speak while school children greet each other with have you seen him yet he has the look of a hunted deer in his eyes it may be a case of dreams come true as the father has said but a young and healthy westerner does not want to he quartered in dream land he sighs for wide open real ities where men are men and his animals his dearest friends he has made one pal in ringwood the small hotel kitten which wears a bell around its neck and is called nigger nigger doesnt love him just because he has joined the ranks of the aristocracy and he can trust nigger not to jump up suddenly and exclaim i say what do you think of our country and so the two wander round the hotel together speaking to no one and looking for an unmolested spot before anyone was around that morning father and son departed in a taxicab destination and probable return unknown it would not be surprising if they went off to spend the day in the loneliest and most deserted corner of the countryside where they might enjoy a large piece of bread and a hunk of cheese their first good meal in england for they do not yet relish castle fare where they keep throwing bouquets on the table and nothing to eat highway flood damages heavy in markham closer inspection by the engineer and markham township council dis closes the fact that the damage to the highways and bridges following the big flood of early sprang and more recent downpours
