Duncan PHONE 54 FLESHERTON Two Countries Covet The Azores (By Hugh Templin) The stories for the past two weeks have been about the group of islands in the Atlantic known as the Bermu- das, or, more generally, simply Ber- muda. This week, I will tell of the other group of Atlantic islands at which the Clipper lands on its way to Europe. Nobody could have known much less about the Azores than we did be- fore flying: to Europe. We remem- bered the firt line of the poem that used to be in some of the re*.drs. It was about the last flight of "Re- venge." It began "At Flores in the Azores, Sir Richard Grenville lay." You remember how Sir Richard and his sick crew went out against the might of Spain and did a lot of dam- age before being over-powered. W realized that the Asores were islands somewhere off the coast of Portugal. They had been used by the first Americans to fly across the Atlantic. We used to think that was cheating because they claimed to be the first to crow the ocean in planes but they came down twice on the way across. As it happened we came down four times. Two of the landings were at Har- ta, in the Azores, on the island of Fayal, if we recall. (We couldn't bu too sure.) They are not little islands, these lands a thousand miles or so from Portugal, to which they belong, and they weren't built up by littk coral animals either, as the Bermudas were They are volcanic islands, and at ' least one volcano remains, on the Is- ' land of Pico, opposite Horta. It is distinctly of the volcanic type, and as we flew past the crater of it, we be- lieved that we saw smoke still coming out of it, though it may have been just the clouds. As the Clipper came within sight of the Azores, we watched curiously for our first sight of Europe. It was a rocky shoreline, with a rock off the tip with a hole in it, which might have been Perce Rock, off our own Gaspe shore. Clippers Land at Hurta Horta is the landing place for the Clippers (if a seaplane can be said to "land"). It is a small city with most of the houses white, and the others painted light pink and light blue, true pastel shades, with red roofs. It was quite picturesque. The harbour is an artificial one. with concrete breakwater, a large Portugese destroyer was anchored It had a big "V" on the stem, but this wasn't an Allied "V for Victory" sign, but an identification, for the name of the ship was "Vouga."' Near- by was a large German merchant ship interned, since early in the war There had been two. but the other one got away with the crews of both on board. The sailors from the "Vouga" were out on the flat break- water, drilling. It was early morning. 7.35 by the Azores time, 4.35 by my watch which still showed New York time. Night had been three hours shorter than us- ual. A Pan American launch came out and took us to shore. The break- water was built of stone. Along the top ran a cobbelestone road. Along it. donkeys, oxen, mules and horses hauled little carts. Many of them Proclamation At the request of His Majesty King Georg-e VI, marking the third anniversary of the Empire into war, Sunday, September 6th, will be ob- served as a Special Day of Prayer and reconsecration to the war effort. -A. DOWN, Reeve BUFFALO CALVES ATTRACT VISITORS TO WILDER'S LAKE Visitor* from far and near hare been to Wilder's Lake, the beautiful game preserve owned by Hon. Dr. Jamieson, located a short distance east of Durham. One of the big at- tractions there at the present time is two Mfalo calves. Those fortunate enough to find the herd near the road are ffirilled by the sight of six gr*wn buffalo and the two calves born this year. Th calves bear a resemblance to Jersy calves, except that they have larger heads and are more heav- ily built. By winter time they will be a good size, as they grow rapidly. The original pair of buffalo were procured eighteen years ago from Wainiwright National Park. They were on exhibit at the Toronto Exhi- bition that year prior to being shipp- ed to Durham. The herd is always in prime condition, their pasture grounds being extensive. The ani- mals are fed in winter. Mc.MULLEN-SPENCER Mrs. Jos. Russell Dies Mrs. M.
