and we used to hive something to
do in the summer evenings, but
now we just coms,‘ the Centre.
(Vanastra) It is nice and close to
Clinton so that if we ever get
bored all we have to do is
hitch-hike to Clinton and find
something to do.
All my friends live in Vanastra
and even if you are new it is not
hard to make friends.
Well, those are a few of the
reasons that I like living here.
The child entry winner was
from Renee and Christa Lehnen
of Vanastra. They received $3 and
a gift from Gil Lausin. •
"I enjoy living in - Vanastra
because there is a warm friendly
Community centre across the
road. There is a clean swimming
pool and a cheap snack bar."
Thank y ou foryour entries and
now readers - what do you like
about Vanastra?
The park system and housing
layout, the friendliness, day care,
recreation and most of all' the
future possibilities of what
Vanastra will become are what I
like about Vanastra.

By Mabel Turnbull]
When Writing of Tom and
Help Wilbee's trip in the British
Isles, I have decided owing to the
amount of material to•submit it in
two parts. I am writing it with
apologies to Tom and Helen, lest I
fail to, do it justice. I could write
pages on, England 91 my
experience while visiting there.
It seemed difficult to keep, up
with the pictures and Helen's
interesting running commentary.
From Heathrow airport London
they went along to pick up the car
they had rented , a British Ford
Escort, and set out on their
sight-seeing tour, bravely, in
pouring rain.
They went to their hotel at
Burford a quaint village with n eat
rows of houses and shops with no,
advertising in sight so different
the n America. They didn't seem
to have any difficulty with the
driving:
My eXperience was very
different. I bought a driving
licence in expectation of driving
the car myself. The left hand
driving,, the four gear shift, a
turning light which you filched
out to the side you were turning,
with your hand. It was all too
complicated when my brother
offered me the wheel.
When we were entering
Walton-on-Thames his h ome. I
said "Here you take it" and 1
didn't try it again. I think he was
relieved. When he came home for
a holiday I gave him the keys of
my car to use as he wished.
One day when we were driving
along we came to a detour.
Belieye it or not he was turning
into the wrong lane mentally he
must have been back in England.
I shoulted in time to save the day
and he realized his mistake.
I didn't let him' forget that this
. experience made megladl hadn't
taken the chance. When one has
to m ake a quick decision it might
be the wrong one.,
In the dining room of their hotel
at Burford they noted the beamed
ceiling. They drove north skirting
the lake district past •Carly le and
soon found themselves crossing
the boundary between England
and Scotland . where' they saw
Hadrian's Wall built in 124 A.D.
by the romans. ...,Theirearn of one man Tom This brought them into Patterson started it all and it' has ny Stirlingshire, the home of i supported by ancestors. They drove on through .4'e'elv ''.:140Y Americans. For Bridge of Allan, the home of .C"'a-dila'it
J,R.Spittal. When he was over
coronation year I spent two weeks
in Bridge of Allan with my friends
the Jeffrey's. When they heard I
was coming over in 1953 they
committed themselves to showing
me -Scotland.They were as good
as their word. One weekend we
started out for the Highlancig: f his
was the• same route as Tom and
Helen took. While seeing the
. pictures which Tom took, it'seized
me with nostalgia as pleasant
memories came back to me.
As we, passed along through
the Highlands, my friends who
• were enthusiastic mountain-
climbers told the names of all the
mountains and some interesting
experiences abetit each.
We .stayed the weekend in
Inverness where we had a taste of
delicious fresh salmon. This is
very popular and quite expensive.
It is often used 'as a fish course in
the traditional dinner in England.
From Inverness Tom and Helen
crossed the North Sea by ferry to
the Orkney Islands. The city
• Holm, capital of the Orkneys is
the home of Helen's maternal
ancestors the SinclairS. These
islands, are joined by causeways.
The weather is not good for",
heating peatis burned.Helen had -
a picture taken here. After seeing
the highlights thelOrkneys had to
offer they returned to the
Mainland. Before they left
Scotland, Helen found the home
of the Moffats her paternal
ancestors.
The' town was named Moffat
with . the coat-of-arms at the
gateway of the town by the same
name. Helen's father Mr. P. B.
Moffat was orincipal at S.P.S. for
some yearstle was principal when
I took over Jr, /V Grade in the old
school when I succeeded Miss
Minnie McKay who taught me in
the same room I taught in S.P.S.
from 1930 until the new school
opened, in 1953.
The roads in the Highlands are
all paved but very narrow and
winding. One would wonder how
the big buses could drive thei:e
safely but I have neve? heardh of
art adeident, Scottish sheep graze
on the hillsides and have the
right-of-way on the roads..
Motorists are held responsible if
they harm the sheep so they must.
beware.
These sheep are very different
looking than the ones common to
us. I was over too early to get the
benefit of the heather on the hills
as were Tom and Helen. It is so
beautiful in its purple and or
white flower. The white is
supposed to bring good luck.
They turned back to England
reaching London where they saw
all, the famous lacesief that
historic city. t. Paul's Cathedral,
Westminster Abbey, where the
kings an que ns are crowned,
Buckingham alace, the home of
the reigning monarch and family.
Queen Victoria, I believe, first
took over this palace. Windsor
Castle which was being prepared
for a visit from Prince Charles. St.
George's Chapel where many of
the monarchs are buried.
I had the good fortune to view
all these places driving often up
the Mall and Whitehall to the
Parliament Buildings.
Over the years the traditional
buildings change very little but
they undergo a cleaning of the•
outside. There was rarely a time
when there wasn't scaffolding up
for this purpose.
Before leaving Britain Helen
found Blue Mountain Pottery for ,
sale in a. shop. This is made in
Collingwood ,Ontario. This shop
was waiting for a new shipment
as it is very pOpular.
Thatched roofs, so common in
Englanr add a notable charm to
the architecture. Often they.have
to be repaired' by,..speCialists.
Sometimes tons of straw are
required for this.
There are different types of
styles of thatching. I was amused
when 1 saw that even fences or
walls of brick were thatched. I
was told that it was to preserve
the briCks.
Stratford, Canada measures up
very well to 'Stratford England.
The dream of Canada, 'Stratford
on-Avon has endured and seems
to be flourishing in popularity. It
is possible all over America for
people to 'view. the Shakespeare
plays,.. It has come' to be an
irnOOrtaat part of our culture.
the first,plays a ,famous director
Tyrone Guthrie, came from
England.
Now to historic Wales the home
of the ancient Britons who when
attacked by the Jutes Anglos and
Saxons retreated to mountainous
Wales.
Edward I of England went into
w.
Wales and conquered the
country. To appease the Welsh he
offered them a Prince of Wales,
his own sell, who had been born
in Wales and had never spoken a
word of English. His investiture
was held in Carnarvon Castle.
'Ever since that time the heir to
the throne of England has been
known as the Prince of Wales.
M,any will remember when
Charles' investiture took place
which gave him the title Prince of
Wales. At Cardiff Tom and Helen
saw the famous jewelled clock
tow er which glittered with
precious stones.
It was a gift in honour of Queen
Victoria at her jubilee. I'm sure 1
must have missed some very
important parts of this enjoy able
trip. I shall check. Torn and Helen
are already planning to go back
again.
Tom took a picture of Helen
plying the popular art of 'Brass
rubbing'. All materials are
supplied and you buy the result
and 'take it with you: Tom located
his mother's baptismal
certificate, her name was Edgar.
After seeing the pictures and
hearing the Commentary the
afternoon unit of the. U.C.W.
served afternoon tea a traditional
custom in Britain which put on
the finishing touch for such an
occasion.
During tea Helmer Snell played a
few numbers on his violin and our
resident Jim Baker joined , in on
his violin and gave us a brief-
stepdance. Mrs. Edith Dunlop
accompanied on the piano.
Mrs. Margaret Snell was a
guest to see the pictures.
A special thanks to Helen
Wilbee also the U.C.yv, ladies for
the afternoon tea', served in real
traditional style.
Thanks also to those .who
contributed to the program.

Each year a pri;iate school
presents a classical play such as
"Hamlet", "Macbeth ", or
"Romeo and Juliet". A few days
-before this annual event was to
take place, the fifth-grade teacher -
decided to prepare her class for it
"Does anyone know who
Shakespeare is?" she asked. One
child raised his hand. '.'Sure,
answered, "he's the guy who
writes the eighth grade play every
year.
