In fact he was the first one to complete this arduous task, Our congratula- As the train wormed its way, to- ward Central Station in Montreal, the dawn of a new day, broke over the row upon raw of three-storey triplexes. Only the rear porches are visible from a train window, and the enclosed stairways that look like do-it-yourself incinerator Chutes, climb crazily from ground level to the topmost apartment. Bits of washing, ,strung on a, sagging line, are 4.4 familiar on these back porches as the usually dilapidated garbage cans. This morning they looked like card- board cutouts swaying stiffly in the early morning winter breeze. Tea towels, a pair of faded jeans, perhaps a child's sleeper; or a gaily striped flannelette sheet a r e bleached by the frost and gain the sweet aroma that only clothes that are hung outdoors can boast.

Warmed by a good cup of coffee, my optinaiSm was in high gear as I approached -the ticket wicket to inquire whether the Toronto office bad been able to change my res.. ervations for .the Maritimes. Yes, I was told, if I would accept a berth on the slower train, was not perturbed because it meant we would stop in Levis, during the early evening and could gaze across the width of the great St. Lawrence River and re- view my Canadian history as I watched the towering cliffs of Quebec City during the thirty-min- ute stop, But before I got tbo mentally involved with the trials and tribii4 Wilms of Monteath and Wolfe, I decided to take advantage of feel ilities provided for the traveller in the immaculate Central Station wash rooms. !For fifty cents, was provided with a fluffy towel, a large cake of soap and a private bathroom, For an hour I luxur- iated in -the caressing warmth of a bath, manicured my nails, applied inY makeup with fresh vigour and changed into fresh lingerie.
