seemed to be doing her best to delay us as much as possible For the moment it is going to be just a hail and farewell counter with the hub of the Commonwealth Early tomorrow morning we are flying to Ham burg to begin our weeks stay in Europe After two days in Wes tern Germany we will motor to Copenhagen for a threeday so journ in Denmark and then fly to Stockholm for two days in Sweden Back again then to London My two companions 18-year- old Eugene Timbers of Norman 24 of Rich mond Hill and I checked in less than three hours ago so we havent had much chance to see anything of the city except the brief glimpses from the taxi as we drove from Waterloo station Marble Arch It may be my imagination but even the traffic sounds different over here It has a muted qual ity The hoottoots of the cabs and cars and the rumble of the buses do not seem to have the earpiercing pitch peculiar to New York Street or trams as I must now refer to them are used only in some of the older sections of the city anil in A few of the suburbs DoubleDecker Hoses The giant buses of the London Transport Board have greatly impressed Norman and Eugene Their first com ment was Why dont we have them in Canada They were even more impressed when our taxi driver told them the street cars were also doubledeckers It does seem a logical method of moving more people at one time than running two singledecker buses or trams As you know from our last letter we were two days behind schedule when we left New York The Queen Mary had been de layed on her previous runs by Atlantic storms When the weather cleared on the third day out we all hoped that she would be able to make up time but unfortunately it did not turn out that way On our third day out I held a telephone conversation with our hosttobe in England the Petroleum Co Ltd And that was quite a thrill sitting this giant of the oceans 1500 miles from the nearest land ami talking by radiophone to Frank Ellis in his office at Queen Annes Gate London The reception was so clear that he might just have been on a lower deck Arrange ments were made then to cut short our anticipated twoday stay in London and leave almost immediately for West Germany Norman has two great desires to fly the route of the Air Lift into Berlin and a quick trip be hind the Iron Curtain It seems that will have to keen a close eye on him The in past Germany might appreci ate that his uninvited presence was prompted only by an interest in agriculture Strange Impressions It is strange the things that impress people Some of our American found great humor in the fact that the English and European passengers left their shoes their stateroom doors Even when it was explained that they simply for cleaning IVcoHsM lot of merriment In innocence we early afoul of steward Wo for the key to our stateroom TIM little steward was obviously and in voice that almost cut us to ribbons replied There are no keys sir Nothing has ever stolen on this boat Norman I think should have been newspaperman He dilates in the most amazing fnsji ion and in the six short we were aboard accumulated a fund of agricultural knowledge that seems to cover most of the states Eugene spent lot of his time In the company of it targe gentlemon from was to ho expected that one day he would say is ready for breakfast Friday was a appointment for many We moved Into the ami had expected to dock at France We missed high tide and had to wait hours to get in Some of the servicemens wives Aboard who had expected to meet their hus bands shore broke Into tears Norman didnt shed tear he wouldnt if strong wind came and blew us down to Portugal Life on the Queen Mary was too short for him Eugene with leas salt water in his blood laconically remarked Id likevaay plow ing for iKchange However the delay was dis appointing and we didnt get into Southampton until Sunday There less an hours wait for our train electric in cidentally which sped us rap idly to Waterloo station on the hanks of the Thames From the station we could see the dome of St Pauls Cathedral across the river to our east shining in the wintry sun The difference and bustle of the station was confus ing but we found it a pleasant novelty to step from the train on to a platform instead of down to track level All stations in Eng land are constructed in that man ner The boys found the high- mounted English taxis with the driver blocked off from his pas sengers very amusing Both sug gested that it must be a little chilly for the cabbie but he re plied Nalil gets used ter it And so to bed Tomorrow we have to be up early
