Death of Miss Fee ■ Miss Sarah Fee, prominent Hen sail resident died suddenly at her ■ home on Sunday evening from a heart condition. She was in her 7 8th year and had been a resident of Hensali for the- past 28 years. Miss Fee was born on the 'Goshen line near Zurich. She was a member of St. Paul’s Anglican church and had been present at the morning service on Sunday.

I never saw so many street cars on one street anywhere. The automobiles are mostly tiny cars and one could ride half a mile in a taxi fox* six American cents. Most of the people are on foot, many of them with bare feet. There is poverty everywhere in Portugal and it intrudes even on to the beautiful Avenida. Hundreds of women pass in an hour, with bas kets on their heads containing sil very fish or grapes or flowers. Men carry cases of wine or heavier loads. Many of them have little fancy wicker baskets with a lid and handle. I was curious about them, One day I followed an old lady. She stopped occasionally to pick things off the street. At last she sat on a bench and I sat down beside her. She opened her* hamper. Inside were .little bits of metal. On the lid of ’ the basket, she had a horseshoe mag net, With the magnet she tested all the metal scraps.

An Or iental cemetery with the tombs in side a high wall provided an odd touch. Twice the ship circled the city, losing height, and came down on the river beside a Pan American Clipper preparing to leave in a few hoiirs. “How nice it would be,” I thought, “to transfer from one plane to the other, without even bothering to go ashore." But war time travel isn’t that easy in Europe, Lisbbn is one of the most roman tic cities in the world at 'present. It’s a poor magazine that hasn’t had some story dealing with Lisbon and its refugees, its spies, the Ger man Gestapo, and such like. There has been a whole series pf moving pictures about Lisbon, such as “One Night in Lisbon,” “The Lady Has Plans,” and “Affectionately Yours”. The general idea seems to be that anything can happen in Lisbon.

I’ll never forget the night we left Ireland behind and flew away toward Portugal in the largest seaplane I ever saw, the good ship “Berwick," which later became famous when it carried Winston Churchill back over the Atlantic from Bermuda and Britain. We left the peaceful little village of Adare, in Southern Ireland, about ten o'clock on Friday night, driving by bus along the winding, walled roads, through a couple more tiny hamlets, and down one last hill to the seacoast. Once again, there was a hurried session in the little customs house, though no baggage was .opened for inspection. One more entry was made in pur pass ports, and we filed put on the pier and dawn a shaky gangplank to the launch. It all night, where I Behind us, on the hills, lights shone in the few houses, which was not what we had become accustomed to during a month in England, where everything would have been black. On the ipier, a powerful searchlight swung around, picking the shape of '* the big out on the estuary, black shadow on the until it looked like two ships, one grey and one black. One launch had gone out with the mail and I climbed into another with a dozen fellow passengers. One or two loads had already aboard. The bay was rotigh our launch went out past :the plane, drifting back past it. crew missed the rope thrown from the plane and tried again. The sec ond time they had better luck and we climbed aboard the big float which is a part of the body of the plane and down through the nar row door. , The interior looked familiar. This was another Boeing plane, similar to the Clippers by which I had crossed the Atlantic some weeks 'before. Even the pattern off the tapestry that covered the walls was the same. But this was a later model and larger. | There were no berths for the passengers that night. There wasn’t room for them. We were packed in too closely, and we sat up all night in the comfortable seats. Aftei* we rose from the water, .there were nd lights either. The plane was to fly down opposite the unfriendly coast of France, always in dangei* from enemy raiders, and the only safe way to go was in the dark. And even that wasn’t too safe, as we all real ized. So we sat sprawled around in all sorts of queer shapes, trying to sleep—and having some success at that. ■ in Lisbon, not at the expensive Palacia.

The roadway circles around many monuments or fountains with goldfish swimming in the waters.

The waves were high and the wind was off shore. That made it necessary to go away out into the estuary and tax toward the land, With the ship gaining height fast enough to clear the range of - low hills. Besides, the plane had a heavy load. Three times the Captain tried before he finally lifted off the waves and into the air. Each time, he went farthei’ out into the open ocean. I sat at the little window and look ed out at the waves, thrilled be yond anything I had known on the trip before. I could see two of the four big motors and the long wing with a green light out. near the tip. The waves splashed up over the win dow when tile motors speeded up. Twice the waves were so high they came up over the wing-tip, obscuring the green light. Then we turned to wards land, and there was a louder roar, and I could feel the slap-slap of the waves on the bottom of the ship, growing less violent and finally dis appearing, add we were in the air. The great Ship circled towards the south. The wing-tip light and all the interior lights went out.

The Berwick arrived over the mouth of the Tagus River just before the sun came up. over the hills behind Lisbon. (The interior of Portugal is quite mountainous in spots). Down below, a large fleet of fishing boats could be seen on the Atlantic, mostly little sailing ships, but a few steam trawlers. Then there was believe that is true, happen there, does that more tion alas! be kept secret until after the war. I didn’t see much of Lisbon the first time I was there, but on the return trip, I saw far too- much, and I do not care if I never see Portugal again. Even when peace comes again, I think I would decline an in vitation. On stay some ant. dark. Tagus River was that it consisted of acres of mud flats. The tide must have been low that night and the bright and on as the search to shore was over a long pier that ended in the Customs office. There.,, the British Embassy people picked us up, supplied us with plenty of escudos (the Portugese money) and gave the taxi driver, directions where to take us. There followed a wild taxi ride through the narrow'’ streets of Lis bon and out to Estoril. It was far more exciting and undoubtedly more dangerous than the Clipper trip across the broad Atlantic, but we arrived breathless at the Estoril Palacia, the finest hotel in Portu gal.- (It is this hotel you see in some of the movies). There was a midnight dinner in the magnifi cent dining room, along with the Crew of the Clipper, then a few hours’ sleep and away again in the early morning darkness to Cintra, the airport that is used by British, Dutch, German and Italian planes. And so to England. On the return trip, I spent seven days in Lisbon, which was about five too many. It was mid-October when autumn storms were interfer ing with the Clipper schedules. At first, it seemed, I might have to wait ten days for a place on a Clip per; then it was more indefinite. It might be three weeks. As it has since turned out, it might be nev er. A prominent Canadian who re turned a few weeks later had to go by way of Africa, Brazil and Trini dad to get out of Lisbon. The city is full of people trying .to get out. For some of them, it is a, matter of life add death. They must leave before the Germans get them. A place on the Clipper was not to be measured (though it bound).

Now the whole city is full of danger and intrigue. For the first time, the question of money began to bother us, when we learned that we might be in Lisbon indefinitely. We could bring only $40 each in American money out of England under the strict war time rules. Out of that, we had to pay our fares home from New York. Other expenses began to come up. We held a conference and pooled our resources at last, finding that we had just enough to stay one week at our hotel in Lisbon, knew nothing of the language.

They want to be in an unfair position over their neighbors. Hoarders are traitors to their country and their fel low citizens, because by creating excessive and un necessary demands for goods, they slow down the war effort. There is no excuse for "panic buying" and hoarding. Everyone will have enough, if no one tries to get more than a fair share. Hoarding must stop! Every unnecessary purchase makes it more difficult for Canada to do a full war job. THERE'S A LAWAGA/NSTHOARDING I It is against the law to buy more than current needs. Violation of the law is punishable by fines up to $5,000, and imprisonment for as long as two years. AVOID ALL UNNECESSARY BUYING AVOID WASTE MAKE EVERYTHING LAST THE LONGEST TIME POSSIBLE In cases where it is advisable for you to buy in advance of your immediate requirements—such as your next season's coal supply—you will be encouraged to do so by direct statement from responsible officials.
