(,140 Woods) Lucy managed to get out to the .perish Hall .on Thursdoy night see (the coloured pictures of Ireland, taken by Mr and Mrs. Stewart walfigetott on their trip last snowier, As usual, Lucy was' late ('her father dubbed her the late Miss. 'Woods When she was a girl) and she missed the hag,. dttotinn, and .Peenee. around Dublin with which she .was femilier In 1934, However, her husband managed to et her. .ghlpefle4 and wheeled' 10 just 'kin time to look up the main Street Of PelfaSt wilieh she had eeen, in reality late at night and early in the morning , (And on that, latter ac. oesion she VMS "Igte." pgt would that ia)ci driver give his ancient .veldole more go? No! Lucy fully expected to. see the train pull out as ehe arrived at 'the station.) From BelfaSt on, [tIle •MiPutes just flPW and the tour of Ireland was all too shout.. With their camera they had captured beauty spots over Ireland. The bus tette took them into every county except ArMagh, And Lney Sew spots WhiCh •She had longed to .v.ktot such as the Giant's Causeway, Donegal (where an, ancestor located ever 300 years age), the Killarney Lakes, Hierney Castle, ete,----There was .evidence that "Mrs. Stewart" had kissed. the Blarney Stone! (The tintee were "trotthlous" Eire in 1934. In the south a bomb was set for an English tourist train. So Lucy's aunt would neither let her take tripe herself nor go with her). Net only had Mr, and Mrs. Middleton recorded the beauty, hut also the way of 'life of the various parts, espec- ially in the rural eeetions-ethe donkey carts, the stone fences, the green hedged fields, the harvesting of peat, the cattle. fairs, etc. (Stewart and a. fellow traveller managed to visit an Aberdeen Angus farm in the south while their wives enjoyed an evening out with the boys!) And some views 'showed atmosphere peculiarities common to mountainous parts of 'the country, They had grasped the feeling of Ire- land. Take 'all this', liberally sprinkled with' Mrs, Middleton's dry humour in recounting incidents of historical legend and tales of 'the Little Folk as told by the courier, and one had a perfect picture of Ireland—a happy, friendly, casual, care- free, lovable people! One wonders if anyone 'in Ireland ever dies of that bug- a-boo of the North American .Continent—hypertension? Lucy had been told ` that if there were time, Mrs. Middle- ton would show views of their Scandinavian tour. Abter some familiar scenes in Old London—Trafalgar Square, The Mall, Changing of the Guard, Madam Tussau'd's —where they had four days interlude, the members of the tour were taken off to ..Holland. Here amidst the traditional windmills, one saw Holstein herds deep in lush pasture with plenty of water from the canals; clean farm. establiebments where it was difficult to 'tell house from barn; clean tidy cities with cobblestone streets, the military cemetery at krnheirn. where so many Canadians are' buried. That day the school children were being given instruction in 'the plading of flowers on each grave 'at the memorial service the next day. The Dutch keep up the cemetery and mark the anniversary in thank- fulness for their delivery from 'the German invaders—"from under the heel of the jackboot", the 'glide said. ' On 'through to Germany and hilly country, the bus took them, sometimes travelling 80 miles per hour: One of the loveliest evenings of the tour was at Hamburg where 'they attended the Dancing Water Festival—the, colours on the, fountains changed the organ music, In Denmark there were many interesting views, espec- ially in Copenhagen, Mrs. Middleton's interest 'in sculpture was evident -throughout all the tour. There were several-pictures taken around L'Angeline, the little mermaid statue looking out to sea. She is the sailor's mascot which has been so much in the news recently since vandals decapitated her. They walked up to the King's summer place at Freeden- berg, but it was not open that day. Hamlet's Chapel at Elsinore was one of the spots visited, and the Sailor's Church at Fano, built like a Viking ship. Mrs. Middleton was intrigued by the shops in Copen- hagen—their fine stacks of merchandise as well as the fact that the clerks speak English, And they felt that Denmark was more like England where the antique and the beautiful are prized. Scenes of Sweden covered that country's spots of note, as the bus followed a route across the country by the Gota Canal to Norway. . •• They took a Baltic cruise from Stockholm where the Hammer and Sickle' was prominent on •Russian ships and Russian submarines- were under and around them, "Close enough to the Iron Curtain!" In Sweden the new and ultra modern is stressed. The old buildings are, torn down and replaced by modern struc- tures so 'that there are never any shims. Their educational system is qt.tite advanced. Stewart kept the bus awiting while he took a beautiftul picture of nursery s'choo'l e children with their attendants. The, people of the Scandinavian countries are 97 per- cent Lutheran in religion and so one saw many churches. At Oslo one got a glimpse of the world famous Vieglund Sculptures. He studied under Michael Angelo in Italy and was commissioned by the government to depict all stages of the life of man in his struggle upwards. When finished it took 200 acres to house it. On to Trondheim where it was pouring rain so the trip tiOthe Ford was off. Stories of incidents during the war showed that the Norsemen Still -possessed the bravery and daring of their forefathers. • In all the countries, Mrs. Middleton's love of flowers was evident. There were striking pictures of dahlias, roses, gealaniumS, petuinag, etc. But one picture of a gorgeous. flower stand across from their hotel in Stockholm drew the comment, "Even Golden Rod was sold there!" Altogether it was a delightful evening. Mrs. Middleton holds her listeners with her inimitable descriptive power' and wit. Lucy 'felt she'd like to see them all over again, especially the Scandinavian tour. She 'though't the program short; bat Grace reported that Stewart said it was too long! Lucy is awaiting the next tour 'by Mr. 4.0 Mrs. Stewart Middleton. .Elf.ERY.ONE READS AND-USES { of charge By BRUCE CLEANERS — Kincardine during the month of May DISTRICT AGENTS PICKETT & CAMPBELL — Clinton BOB BURNS LondesbOro 18-9b AD Dry Cleaning will be MOTH PROOFED FREE 4 AT THE WILDWOOD MOTEL R 3 BAYFIELD Phone 40 South of. the Village on Highway 21 5:00 - 8:00 pall.
