I could see two of the four huge motors and the long wing wi‘h the green light out near the tip. The waves splashed up over the window when the motors speeded up. Twice the waves were so high they came up over the Wingâ€"tip, obscuring the green light,. Then we turned towards land, and there was a louder roar, and I could feel the slapâ€" slan of the waves on the bottom of the ship, growing less violent and finally disappearing and we were in the air. The great ship circled towards the south. The wingâ€"tip light and all the interior lights went out. Down below, little Irish villages and the City of Limerick showed through the clouds, for Ireland has no blackout. Minutes later, there were two or three lightâ€" houses, and the moon shining on the open sea, then nothing more but clouds for hours and hours. Lisbon From the Air Lisbon, as seen from the air, is one of the most beautiful cities. The Berâ€" wick arrived over the mouth of the Tagus River just before the sun came up over the hills behind Lisbon. (The interior of Portugal is quite mountainâ€" ous in spots). Down below, a large fleet of fishing boats could be seen on the Atlantic, mostly little sailing ships, but a few steam trawlers. Then there was Es.oril, the healith resort at the mouth of the river, and then Lisbon set on several hills A new airport was being built outside the city, with broad modern roads leading to it, in contrast to the narrow lanes of the city itself. An Oriental cemetery with little tombs inside a high wall provided an odd touch. Twice the ship circled the city, losâ€" ing height, and came down on the rivâ€" er beside a Pan American Clipper, preâ€" paring to leave in a few hours. "How nice it would be." I thought, "to transâ€" fer from one vlane to the other, withâ€" out even bothering to go ashore." But wartime travel isn‘t that easy in Europe. Lisbon is one of the most romantic cities in the world at present. It‘s a poor magazine that hasn‘t had some story dealing with Lisbon and its reâ€" fugees, its spies, the German Gestapo and such like. There has been a whole series of moving pictures about Lisbon, such as ‘"One Night in Lisbon," ‘"The Lady Has Plans," and "Affectionately Yours." The general idea seems to be that anvthing can happen in Lisbon. I believe that is true: anything can happen there, and most of it does hapâ€" pen. Some of the things that have happened are probably more exciting than anvthing the fiction writers have produced. But alas! Some of the true stories must be kent secret until after the war. ally lifted off the waves and in‘o the air. Each time, he went farther out into the open ocean. city is full of people tryving to get out. For some of them, it is a matter 0of life and death. They must leave before the Germans get them. A place on the Clipper was not to be measured in mere dollars then (though it cost over $500, wes‘bound). So I stayed in Lisbon with seven other Canadians, and as the davys passed slowly, our plight became so desperate that we returned at last on a refugee ship, "part of a cargo of cork," as Bishop Renison puts it. As I have said, Lisbon is beautiful from the air. So is the rest of Portuâ€" gal that I had seen from the plane. From the ground, parts of the capital cliy are beautiful and everything is interesting. But under its picturesque exterior, there lurk dangers, even in peace time. Now the whole city is full of danger and intrigue. The Avenida da Liberdade is the' main street of Lishon. The name, as you may guéss, fmean "Avenue of Liberty." It stretches north and south up a broad valley between Lisbon‘s ten hills The avenue is reputed to ‘be one of the most beautiful in all the world. I don‘t doubt it. It is wide Down each side is a broad roadway. In the centre, is a fourâ€"lane highway. In beiween the outer strips and the centre, are gardens with palm trees and edible chestnuts and benches to sit on under the nalms and on the grass. Here and there are sidewalk cafes, where everything can be had to drink from ice cream sodas and strong coffee to much stronger things. The roadway circles around many monuments or fountains with goldfish swimming in the waters. iAnd all the siewalks are of mosaicâ€"little pieces of colored marble laboriously laid by hand into patterns. Not only are the scrolls _and flowers, but the history of Portugal is written there for those who can read the language. Up and down the Avenida, there is a steady stream of traffic. On the roadways at the side, oldâ€"fashionpd street cars with open sides pass every few seconds. I never saw so many sireet cars on one street anywhere. The automobiles are mostly tiny cars and one could ride half a mile in a taxi for six American cents. Most of the neople are on foot, many of them with bare feet. There is poverty everywhere ini Portugal and it intrudes even on to the beauiiful Avenida. Hundreds of women. nass in an hour, with baskets on their heads containing silvery fish or granes or flowers. Men carry cases of wine or heavier loads. Many of them have little fancy wicker baskets with a lid and handle. I was curious about them. One day I followed an old lady. She stopped occasionally to pick things off the street. At last she sat on a bench and I sat down beside her. She opened her hamper. Inside were little bits of metal. On the lid of the basket, she hnad a horseshoe magnet. With the magnet, she tested all the metal scraps. The iron ones she put in one pile, the nonâ€"ferrous in another. There‘s no need for salâ€" vage campaigns in Lisbon. Nothing goes to waste. Nephew of Mr. and Mrs. R Richardson Wins D. F. {( Among those honoured in London, England, last week was Flying Officer Reginald Wiseman Brown, of Saskatâ€" chewan, a nephew of Mr. and Mrs. R. Richardson, of Timmins. Flying Offiâ€" cer Brown was awarded the D. P. C. for "great skill and courage". He was a member of the Royal Air Force Volâ€" unteer Reserve 218 (Gold Coast) squâ€" adron and was the navigator of a sterâ€" ling bomber which dropped a heavy load of high explosives on the Skoda works at Pilsen, Czechoslovakia.

For the nrotection of their patrons the management of the Cartier Cab Company have taken out a $20,000 inâ€" surance policy to cover everyone using a Cartier Cab in case of an accident. This policy is quite an expense to the company but it gives confidence to the passengers to know that while they are riding in that taxi they are insured for twenty thousand dollars. Since cars have been frozen for th duration of the war it is more import ant than ever theat the drivers exercis care in driving and thus prolong the lif of the. car. For that reason the Cart ier drivers have been instructed to tak extra precautions while on calls. Cartier drivers have an almost per fect record for safe driving but Eddi Vaillancourt, ownerâ€"manager of th firm, knows that a lot of accidents ar unadvoidable. Many times when a ca is involved in an accident the blam lies with the driver of the other car. Recen‘ily two voung ladies have been added to the Cartier staff of drivers and they were put through hard drivâ€" ing tests before being hired. The Carâ€" tier Cab Company is confident that they can stand un to any driving condiâ€" tion they will be called upon to face, The women drivers have nroved so satisfactory that the company is ing of hiring two or three more women drivers during the coming summer and they will teach them to drive properly so that they can be classed with the best drivers in the district. Big Programme of Entertainment to be at Legion Event The insurance comuany that is back ing the policv by the taxi firm has wri: ten to Eddie Vaillancourt congratulat ing him for hiring women drivers an informing him that women drivers ar considered to be much safer drive: than men. Experience has shown th insurance company that a smaller av erage of women are involved in acci dents than men.
