A YEAR IN ENGLAND
Wilfred G. Turnbull, of Toronto, an Exeter II. S, Graduate, writes an
interesting letter of his year in England, while touching school, and of
hs visits to Frtmce, Switzerland and Germany^
THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE
It was a great satisfaction to be
able to live in England for a year
and to be able to watch the coun
try progress through its four seasons
The Autumn was « particularly
pleasant time with its yellow leaves,
golden bracken and the excitement
of the hunting season when the
brightly colored pheasants being stir
red up were seen flying in large
numbers in almost any part of the
country. The winter with its No
vember fogs, dampness, cold and un
comfortable homes toeing heated
with fireplaces only) was very un
pleasant and hard to contend with.
Winter was, however, soon forgotten
when their Spring arrived, this year
early in February and the flowers
began to bloom. From then until late
on in the summer there was a con
tinuous succession of beautiful flow
ers and at times the whole of Eng
land was like a beautiful unbeliev
able fairyland. Particularly worthy
of mention are the bluebells, which
covered Hertfordshire, the county in
which I was working, with a solid
carpet of blue. These were followed
by miles and miles of hedges of
’rhododendrons and then the never-
to-be-forgotten masses of roses.
I was very fortunate in becoming
very well acquainted with the Hon.
David and Mrs. Bowes-Lyons brother
and sister-in-law of the Queen and
both of whom were trustees of the
school in which I was teaching. They
were very ;kind in seeing that I was
well entertained and given many
special privileges during the year.
After arriving in England I was pres
ent at a garden fete at Alnych Castle
home of the Duke and Duchess of
Northumberland and was very pleas
ed when they showed me through
the Castle, their home. The Du
chess is the mistress of the Queen’s
wardrobe. The highlight of the year
was being presented to and convers
ing with the King and Queen and
having in my possession a very fine
photo of myself talking to their ma
jesties. Another interesting event
was when my friend from Vancouver
and myself were shown through
Buckingham Palace and the Keeper
of the Gold Plate allowed us to look
at and handle the solid gold dinner
service which is used only when ro
yalty is being entertained. They have
in their possesion enough of these
gold dishes to entertain a party of
one hundred and eighty people.
Living just a short distance from
my English home was Lord Lytton,
novelist, former Governor of Bengal
ex-Viceroy of India and a grandson
of Bulmer Lytton who wrote “Last
Days of Pompeii.” When he heard
that there was a Canadian living in
the district, Lord Lytton invited me
to his home one Sunday evening and
was very interested in hearing about
Canada and telling about his exper
iences in India. When I was leav
ing his home he presented me with
an autographed copy of his newest
book.
At Buckingham Palace
In July of this year my sister and
I received two invitations which were
FORMER SEAFORTH
RESIDENT DIES
Word was received on Monday of
the death of William Leitch, of De
troit. He was married to Miss An
nie Hinchley and lived on the farm
now owned by Clarence Montgomery.
After selling their farm a few years
later they moved to Chiselhurst and
a short time afterwards went to Lon-
■don where Mrs. Leitch died about 9
years ago. He leaves to mourn their
loss one sister, Mrs. Henry Taylor,
of Hullett. The remains were taken
to Seaforth on Thursday of last week
and the funeral took place from S.
T. Holmes’ funeral parlors, Seaforth
interment took place in the Maitland-
bank. cemetery. Rev. A. W. Gardiner
of the Egmondville United Church,
officiated.
FULLARTON WOMAN DIES
Mrs. John Campbell died at the
home of her son, Irvine Campbell,
Fullarton, Mrs. Campbell was born
in Avonton, on October 11, 1864.
Since her marriage in 1895 to John
D. Campbell, she had been a resident
of Fullarton Township, one son, Ir
vine, two brother, James and John
of Port Elgin and one sister, Mrs, A.
Ferguson, of Vancouver, survive.
The funeral service was held at the
Tesidence wlbh internment in the
Presbyterian cemetery.
Wheezing in The
Bronchia! Tubes
Bronchitis comes from a neglected
cold or cough and begins with a
tightness across the chest, there is a
difficulty in breathing, a wheezing
sound comes from the bronchial
tubes, and considerable phlegm is
raised when coughing takes place.
On the first sign of bronchitis you
should cheek it immediately by using
Dr, Wood’s Norway Pino Syrup and
thereby preventing it becoming
chronic, and, perhaps, developing
into something more serious.
The T. Milburn Co., Ltd,, Toronto, Ont.
very much coveted. One invitation
,vas to a reception given at Lancaster
House, St. James Palace by Lord
Stanley, secretary of state to the Do
minions dnd who opened the Toron
to Exhibition this year. The other
invitation was a large engraved card
which read as follows:
“The Lord Chamberlain is
commanded by their Majesties
to invite Mr.—to an afternoon
party in the Garden of Bucking
ham Palace on Monday, July 8,
1938, from 4 to 6.30 p.m.
(weather permitting).”
Morning Dress.
It was a great thrill to be able to
show our invitations to the sentries
and be allowed to pass freely past
the thousands of watching people
and enter the gateway of the Palace
and into the beautiful gardens at
the back covering forty acres right
in the heart of London. What a
pleasure it was to watch Queen Mary
King George, Queen Elizabeth and
the little princesses followed by tjhe
royal dukes and duchesses walking
among their guests and shaking
hands and talking to many of them.
The King and Queen who are very
popular with the people looked par
ticularly young and happy as did also
the little Duchess of Gloucester who
is much loved by the people. Every
one watched the little princesses with
great interest, they seemed to enjoy
everything so much. Refreshments
were served during the afternoon in
cluding strawberries and cream and
all kinds of drinks, sandwiches and
cakes. During the afternoon beau
tiful music was rendered by splen
did bands of the Guards. This was
an event which we will never forgot.
At Christmas we had an interest
ing trip on the Continent. We went
from London to Paris and return by
aeroplane and from Paris to Switzer
land and then into Italy. We had our
Christmas dinner in Florence and it
was interesting to note that we lis
tened to the same King’s speech in
Itay as you were listening to in Can
ada only at a different time. On the
French Riviera at Christmas it was
as sunny and warm as a day in sum
mer at home.
A Visit to Germany
Our most enjoyable trip of the
year was two weeks at Easter spent
in Germany. This was just a week
after Hitler had marched into Vienna
and our friends told us we were very
foolish to go into a country where
there was so much apparent excite
ment. However, we dicided to find
out what it was all about, and we
had one of the most enjoyable trips
ever. The Germans are one of the
most friendly and hospitable people
we have ever met. They all seemed
to be so happy and well fed and were
so well dressed tha* it was a real
pleasure to go among and talk to
them. Their country is so beauti
fully cultivated that it looks like a
big well trimmed park even to the
edges of the highways and railroads.
These are some of the pleasant
incidents and trips in which we par
ticipated during our year abroad.

The guest speaker of the evening
was the Hon. James G. Gardiner, Do
minion Minister of Agriculture and
W. L. Houch, M.L.A., chairman of
the Ontario Hydro Electric Commis
sion. W. H. Golding, M.P., and Jas.
Ballantyne, M.L.A., gave short ad
dresses. Mr. Gardiner stated that he
had atended Kirkton Fair in the af
ternoon, it being 38 years since he
was there before. He we pleased to
see the interest of young and old in
agriculture. As Minister of Agricul
ture his duty is to encourage good
breeding and marketing of stock and
cereals of the farm. Mr. Gardiner
spoke of the problem confronting the
different areas of Canada in the pro
duction of wheat, livestock and dairy
ing, fruit, etc. He emphasized that
grain is grown largely in the west
ern provinces while only six .per cent,
of the cheese is produced there. On
tario farmers are the natural pro
ducers of livestock. Fruits are grown
’in Nova Scotia, parts of Ontario, Que
bec and British Columbia. If the
western provinces were to promote
the production of butter, eggs and
poultry the Ontario market would be
so gutted as to do considerable harm.
If the western provinces were to feed
cattle extensively it might easily ruin
the market . The problem is to en
courage that part bf agriculture for
which the territory is best suitable.
The growing of No. 1 hard wheat in
the west is encouraged because it
makes the best flour and is in de
mand in the export market. That is
one reason why the department of
agriculture encourages farmers in
some sections and not in others.
Agriculture is one of the oldest
occupations known and produces the
necessities for clothing and feeding of
people.
Mr. Gardiner spoke of the condi
tions that have prevailed during the
past few days when it seemed as if
we were only a few hours away from
war. This condition has been agita
ting the nations for several years and
has retarded the buildings of ships
and factories that might be blown ur
at any time. We 'used to sing that
Britain ruled the waves but .what
about the factories of Britain today.
Supposing several hundred planes fol
lowed the Thames River to London
and the railways to Liverpool and
Manchester. What would happen to
the markets for our grain and pro
duce? The people of Great Britain
depend upon receiving fifty per cent
of their foodstuffs outside of the
country principally from Canada. For
that reason we are an important part
of the Empire. Other European coun
tries decided they would have to pro
duce foodstuffs within their own
country. Mr. Gardiner emphasized
the fact that Canadians today are
particular about the labor they per
form and that, peoples from Europe
are doing work in. the milled, in fac
tories, on farms that Canadians re
fuse to do, Canadian resources are
being developed by someone and the
man who comes out of the University
having lost his desire to work has
lost something by that education.
The speakers said that he had met
graduates riding behind plows, work
ing in the barn with animals, in for
ests with the trees and there was no
better way in which they could use
their education than in developing
the natural resources.
\V» Ja Houicih
Mr. Houch, chairman of the .On
tario Hydro Power Commission, dealt
mainly with the reason for the can
cellation of the power contracts and
the present needs of the Hydro sys
tem. The reduction of the cost from
$115 to $12 per horsepower meant a
considerable saving to hydro consum
ers. The commission must provide
for emergency power as wind-storms
and lightning are liable at any time
to cripple the service. Last winter
the plant at Niagara Falls was des
troyed in six hours with a loss of
175,000 horsepower. Each year
there is from 7 to 11 per cent, in
crease in the load. The commission
will have to look for more power in
1941 if there is a 7 per cent, increase.
The commission is helping the user
to solve his problem and reduce his
costs.
W. H. GoKling
Mr. Golding introduced Mr. Gar
diner and spoke of some of the com
plaints made by some of the farmers
in his riding. He spoke of the Amer
ican Dutch Sett onions being dumped
into Canada early in the spring after
the American growers had planted
their own crop. He would be glad
to take up tnese problems with the
government and wished to be advis
ed on any complaints within the rid
ing.
Mr. Ballantyne aiso made a short
speech and introduced Mr. Houch.
FATR BUILDING PROJECT
REJECTED AT PARKHILL
Parkhill ratepayers turned down a
by-law which would have authorized
the town to issue debentures up to
$8,000 for the construction of an Ag
ricultural Society building to be used
as a community rink in Parkhill.
Majority against the by-law was 13.
The question in one which has
been to the fore for some time, On
August 4, a by-law authorizing issue
of $8,000 debentures for a skating
rink was approved by a majority of
19. However, the Ontario Municip
al Board declared the vote illegal on
a technically and ordered further
balloting on an agricultural building
plan.
Since then, interest in the question
has been at top pitch and the vote
was the heaviest ever recorded on a
money by-law there.

Saves His Life
and Clears Him
On September first Miss Willa Cul-
bert of Lucan was credited with as
sisting to drag Joseph Cruthers, 4(2-
year-old Parkhill farmer from hjs
wrecked and flaming car, thus sav
ing his life.
Recently she appeared in the coun
ty police court as a witness for the
defence in a charge of reckless driv
ing laid against Cruthers and on her
evidence the charge was dismissed.
Cruthers was driving south on No,
.4 Highway near Centralia when his
car was ditched and took fire. The
car was in the east ditch and had
apparently -gone a considerable dis
tance along the shoulder before com
ing to a stop. Provincial Traffic Of
ficer H. Gilchrist assumed that this
was evidence of reckless driving.
Miss 'Culbert told the court that
another car had cut out directly in
front of Cruthers’ .car and that 'Cru
thers had taken to the ditch to avoid
a crash. She said sne witnessed
the accident but told the traffic of
ficer she did not know anything
about it because she did not want
to get involved in the matter.
-Miss Culbert is a sister to Eva
Culbert who was a passenger in the
car in which Fred Rumsey, C. P. R.
operator, came to his death .on the
same night, September 11. Jack
O’Keefe of John Street, London, is
facing a charge of manslaughter.
