SeOtorthEx.chartOoTeacher C,0 itetes:... . ' . Miss Phonsine Meagher, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Meagher, of Seaforth, who has been teaching in Germany for the past two years, will return in August, and next year will teach on the staff of the Blessed Sacra- ment School in London. While in Europe, Miss Meagher enjoyed several tours, the most recent of which was to the Middle East. q Here she describes her Gavin, McKillop Township farmer , Ramstein, Germany. Easter vacation has come and gone, and with it came the realiza- tion of a wonderful trip to the 'Middle East. Canadian personnel have been unable to make this trip for some time, but the re- striction was lifted in March, and we wasted no time Making our reservations for the ten-day plan- ned tour. Planned tours have some - disadvantages, but overlooking these, we knew we would be assur- ed of seeing the many sighiS' in the countries of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey and Greece in the short time we had. Our first stop on the sixty-seven hundred mile journey was made at Beirut, Lebanon. The flight there was a reasonably pleasant one, contrary to the bus tour to our hotel, which afforded us a first and lasting observation of the Arab people—that is, extremely irritable with tempers easily aroused. They seem to lack the ability to work together, and are so unwilling to subordinate themselves to each other, as they are rude, proud and ambitious to be the leader. This probably accounts for the general instability in their cotintries. Some of the inhabitants are rich, but most are very, very poor. The sul- try •climate -of the area warned us that sweaters and coats could prob- ably be put aside until our return to Germany. It is reasonable to understand why. In Biblical times, this was known as "The land of milk and honey". Citrus fruits, grapes, bananas, mangoes, olives, figs and dates are among the pro- ducts grown. Byblos boasts itself as one of the oldest continuously inhabited towns of the world. It dates back to 3200 B.C. Baalbeck, translated the city of the sun god, offers the tourist a visit to some magnificent Roman ruins incluck ing the temples to Jupiter, Bacceus and Venus. The street of Biblical times, call- ed Straight, is •still one of the most important streets in Damas- cus. The bazaars or "souks" are -a source of amusement to the tour- ists, as well as being the root of financial problems, Silk brocade is a "must' from Darnascus, selling at about one-third the price of silk in America. The highlight of the_ tour was being in Jerusalm on Easter Sun- day and Monday. An excellent guide took us through the narrow streets of the city pointing out the fourteen stations along The Way of the Cross, from the Court of Pilate, to the Hill of Golgotha. There are conflicting opinions as to the place of the crucifixion and the tomb. The Roman Catholics, Greek Orthodox and Armenians have built the Church of 'the Holy Sepulchre over their believed place of crucifixion, Whereas the Pro- testants have come to recognize the Garden Tomb as the ,actual tomb where Jesus' body was plac- ed. pitiless is the list of Holy Places that we were taken to see and likewise, endless was the thrill of seeing them. Among the places visited were the Mount of Olives, Place of Ascension, • Gethsemane - Gardens, Shepherd's Field and the Grottos, birthplace of Christ.

Rev. W. M. Thomas, minis- ter of the church, officiated at the double -ring ceremony. Mrs. Wilmer Cuthill, Seaforth, played the traditional bridal mus- ic and also accompanied Miss Joy Sadler, of Toronto, when she sang "The Wedding Prayer" and "0 Perfect Love. t The bride, given in marriage by her father, was lovely in a floor - length sheath gown with short cap sleeves and graceful rounded neck- line. It was made of white Alecon lace over taffeta with a bouffant overskirt of silk organza over taf- feta, falling from the sides to back in a chapel length train. Her fingertip veil of silk nylon illusion was held in place by a crown of Shasta daisies. The bride's bouqu.et consisted of two dozen, pink De- light roses with white satin ribbon fortiaing the tulle. The niatron of honor was Mrs. Lew Bradshaw, Toronto. She wore a Royal pink nylon organza street length dress, having' the under- skirt of a light pink to give a shot effect. The fitted bodice was styl- ed with a lace appliqued over- blouse. The high bateau neckline fell to a V -back. The very full gath- ered skirt was held in place with a tailored bow to form a short wide heniline, Her flowers were tinted mums to match the. dress. They formed a lighter contrast, being nestled in glOWing white ribbon. White aceosSories coMpleted the outfit.

Proclamation TOWN OF SEAFORTH On instructions from the Munici- pal I hereby proclaim /60 MONDAY, AUGUST MIX in- op, Awn of Seaforth fetfully request the citizens and • erssmen to observe the occasion. EDMUND DALY, Acting Mayor "God Save the Queen" We stayed at the Dead Sea Ho- tel and so had the Opportunity of swimming at the ,lowest spot on the earth -1,290 feet below normal sea level at the shore of the sea. The water is extremely palty, so even the non -swimmers had their fun. After an interesting flight over the Sinai Desert and the Red Sea to Upper Egypt, we were taken byboat across the Nile River, where in the extreme heat of the day our guide, "Billy Brown," led us to the tombs of Seti I, Tut Ankh Amon, and Ramses VI. Sixty-five kings are buried- in this, the Val- ley of the Kings. In these tombs we were to behold the extrhordin- arily well-preserved art of the "ancients". We saw also the Tem- ple of Queen Hatshepsut, and the Karnak and Luxor Temples. The Temple of Amon dates back to about 2000 B.C. From the air it was fascinating to note the course the Nile as it wended its way through the vast expanse of desert. The river is certainly the lifeline of Egypt, for without it the twenty-three mil- lion people would cease to have any existence. In Cairo, the Mo- hammed Ali Mosque is particular- ly impressive. It is made almost entirelyof alabaster stone and has, sugPended from the ceiling, three hundred and sixty-five lamps. Of course we rode the camels, but the little "jaunt" became rather a distasteful one, as we found our- selves having to cope with money. hungry drivers. We had,, previous to the ride, been warned of this and our tour guide. insisted we were not to be taken in by their - hard -luck stories. However, we re- ceived their co-operation only after producing the requested "bak- shish". The pyrainfda are impres- sive—such immensity. The old ci- ties of Memphis, Sakkara and Gizeh were a stark contrast to the capital, Cairo. The old is rather exciting to see, but it is pleasant to have our modern conveniences too. I'm sure there was nothing' comparable to the,Nile Hilton Ho- tel 5,000 years agc. Out stay in Istanbul was short, but we did manage a glimpse' of the old and famous walls of Con- stantinople, the fine old (347 A.D.) church, Hghia Sopia, the beautiful Blue Mosque, and the bazaars. We were fortunate in that, as we were at the Moslem Mosque at one of the Moslem's mandatory prayer times we observed them offering their prayers, to Mohammed, while facing toward Mecca and heard excerpts being chanted from their Bible, the Koran. Finally, off we went to Athens, a city among the oldest of Euro - News of Radock Burns' Church Has Annual Picnic Burns' Church Sunday School held its,annual picnic at Seaforth Lions Park Thursday evening, Fol- lowing a picnic supper, races and contests were held.

Her daughter, Dianne, is visiting her there. pean cities. A great deal of our sightseeing time was spent in and around the Acropolis. In early days Athenian Kings lived on this hill, safe from attack. Later, the -hill was devoted solely to the gods. It remains, today, a symbol of the splendour and uniqueness of Gre- cian culture. The Parthenon; with its forty-six columns, is consider- ed the most perfect example of ancient art. The trip had to end somewhere, and what better spot could we choose than Ramstein, Germany. We have since received our num- erous rolls of film back and have enjoyed re -living the tour. We are still in this little place called Ramstein, but if you are wonder- ing why this letter has taken so long in reaching 'you, the prime reason is . . we have all been busy ,planning for our summer va- cation.
