the tribune stouitville ont thursday may s 1932 thrilling sights for local traveller in paris and london iiini luitdiiu piccadilly and regent st london wi i believe i wrote from switzer land last so ill begin with paris paris is a very large cosmopolitan city my hotel was fairly central and my room overlooked the tuilkres park the seine river the eiifel tower the souvre and i could see the place detole arch of triumph so you see one could sjend a couple of weeks just walking and looking in that area walking i did nearly as much to save arguments with the paris cab drivers who cannot speak english the view of paris from the top of the eitre tower was wonderful it was one of the clear days when i went up and the visibility was excellent the trees below were just bursting into green bud and were beautiful another day i took a bus drive of some miles out to the palace of versailles it was a magnificent place and in its day when fully furnished and occupied and the gardens and fountains running it must have been a sight i saw in the palace the huge and magnifi cent hall of mirrors where the peace treaty of world war i was signed the vastness of these palaces is staggering there were many beautiful tapestries paint ings and rugs still there on the same trip we visited malmalson home of napoleon much of it is furnished as it was in the time of napoleon and very interesting the great and elaborate state coaches are something to see though i doubt if they would be very comfortable with the roads they had then one day while in paris i flew back to switzerland it was an added experience and thrill at least the sun shone up above the clouds and it was a thrill to see the snowcapped peaks of the alps jutting up above the sea of clouds it was a two hour trip each way and i went there and back in a day it was very pleasant i left paris monday noon and arrived in london shortly after 6 in the evening the channel cross ing was medium rough and there was a very strong wind blowing clamps down on junk yards ww vwv- new b aw grand opening joness new groceteria snack bar don mills rd below no 7 hgy wednesday may 14th a free cup of coffee to all customers on opening day dick jones prop jwwiw it was good to see the white cliffs of dover and better yet to set foot on british soil and be among english speaking people there is something about the union jack and the british crown that sends a tingle up your spine from dover to london was a very nice trip through the kentish country side with its farms and hay fields and it was spring lambing time and there were thousands of them the hotel at piccadilly circus is again at the heart of the cit3 and full of interest i could stand at the markham township council brought in a bylaw which was passed and will take effect immed iately to regulate junk yard- within the municipality the nev edict requires that anyone engag ing in this trade shall fence his lot with a closed high board fence ten feet high any cars taken in for scrap must be regist ered with the chief of police the law also provides that the lot can not he lighted in any way and there must be no objectionable noise or odor it must also be situated kx ft back from the highway a penalty of 50 for each offence is provided find a guard being e queen is expected churchill it is all is up only to changed or th to pass or mr interesting westminster abby is a beautiful building and very old i am afraid i was expecting something very gaudy the tombs which arc- everywhere inside the building corner in piccadilly circus by the seem to have no rhyme or reason hour and just watch the people go to them the elligies lying on top gormley offering sends additional missionary overseas the annual missionary conven tion of gormley united mission ary church was brought to a suc cessful conclusion last sunday evening with an interested con gregation manifesting a keen con cern for advancement in foreign missions the convention began on tues day evening last and continued to the sunday with evening services missionary pictures were shown at ail of the weeknight services the missionary speaktis were miss eileen sider miss myrtle anderson rev paul cmmel miss kuby wilson rev and mrs doug las percy all of nigeria and miss ethel smith of india in addition the congregation joined in the stouifville rally to hear the address of rev q j everest as the convention began an objective of 2000 was set for cash offerings and pledges but by the sunday evening offerings had exceeded the 3500 mark this increase means that the sending of one new missionary is made possible interest was keen throughout the community and many express appreciation of the inspiration of the services alm1ra by it is said that if you stand on piccadilly circus long enough you will see the person you are look ing for the odd taxis the double- deck buses the london bobby and the formal dressed businessman with his bowler hat and rolled umbrella is a pageant to watch the london bobby is very quiet but extremely efficient courteous and helpful the london trans portation system is one of the finest in the world it is clean and fast whether you take the double- deck bus or one of the under ground cars it is said that the underground alone or tube carries two million people a day i think the population of london is s or 9 million the first day i spent walking about seeing grand park the mall buckingham palace whitehall westminister abbey the house of parliament 10 downing st etc every fence building and blade of grass seems to breathe history and bristle with pageantry and the british love it and i am british you see little groups gathered every so often and wonder what braeside brand grade a large size eggs dozen in chi 43c eat a hearty

the mother of parliaments the house of com mons was in session this week trying to get finished for the easter recess i thought i would go into the session in the after noon but there was a line of two hundred waiting for some one to leave the strangers gallery so they could get in i returned at 10 oclock in the evening but still there was a lineup filling st stephens hall and out into the street this time i waited and gained admittance just before midnight the debate was most interesting and heated as the opposition were trying to defeat the government and they were going to pass a vote of censure against the chairman of the com mittee sitting the debate an amendment to the health bill that the country not pay for wigs false teeth or spectacles for the stranger within their gate 1 decided not to go out next morn ing and order a wig i left the session at 130 am and they were still going strong the tower of london is a most interesting sight though i have spent only a short time down there they have a very large exhibit of old armour and weapons then i went to see the crown jewels a fabulous display of gold and precious stones they are in an ancient tower of the tower of london yesterday i took an excursion out to windsor castle the drive out was past quaint old farms with thatch- roofed buildings our first stop was at stoke poges the old church yard where grays elegy was written it was a beautiful day and a lovely quiet country spot cray is buried there our visit took us to eton college windsor castle with its battlements and turret towers can be seen for some distance back it is another fairy- book sight we had lunch just from the entrance then after lunch we went through part of the castle including beautiful st georges chapel where the late king and his father are buried there was an air of expectancy and excitement about windsor and the castle as the queen and royal family were expected any time to spend the easter holidays there driving back along the beautiful thames countryside we visited hampton court a palace built by cardinal wolsly and then used by henry viii at present much of it is used as apartments for widowed members of court the large oakbeamed banqueting hall of henry viii was most interesting and flooded with shadows of the past this morning i visited madam toussands wax works exhibit which is quite fascinating this afternoon i enjoyed a very excel lent program of the messiah given in the royal albert hall by the royal choral society it was in this hall that queen victoria first began the practice of stand ing during the singing of the hall elujah chorus england is a strange and wonderful place it turned out that during the afternoon concert there was an intermission of over an hour during which audience and choir members alike went over to kensington park for a stroll or sit down and enjoy a box lunch which they had brought after the concert i strolled through hyde park to the famous soap box orators
