An appetizer which I invariably chose was of melon followed by two main courses, the first of fish or eggs and the second, beef or lamb. For dessert I always chose the basket of fresh fruit, TRAVEL THROUGH SPAIN Travelling southward we saw mountainous farm land of olive trees with grape vines planted between the rows. All the red- dish soil was tilled to the base of each tree giving the country- side such a clean appearance. To harvest olives, we saw sheets placed on the ground to catch the crop shaken from the trees, then loaded in carts for transportation to the factories. Making of wine is also an extensive industry in Spain. Wood for the wine kegs is im- ported from Canada. We really enjoyed the scenic drive through theSierraNevada Mountains, southward to the blue Mediterranean. There we spent two days at one of the fashionable Spanish Riviera re- sorts. One of my delights was visit- ing Gibraltar and realizing the immensity of this huge fortress. This is a duty-free port and shopping was fun. Seville, our last city in Spain. herds of cattle.

Our bus driver always pulled over on the opposite shoulder of the road to pass or stop if meeting any on- coming traffic. As I recall the rural folk of Spain I shall picture the women and children in the clean, white villages and the men travelling in groups homewards to their families In the village at dusk, their donkeys pulling carts la- den with fire wood. — a scene of peace and contentment, WE LIKE CITIES OF SPAIN When we visited Madrid, the capital of Spain, the ambassador of Argentina was meeting Pre- sident Franco, the Head of the State, so we were unable to see inside the Royal Palace. It is a vast structure, creamy White in color and its many windows overlook beautiful gardens. When darkness fell, the peo- ple began to take seats in the sidewalk cafes and soon every pavement chair was occupied. Offices and shops had let down their shutters and the day's work was over. Then into the main avenues thousands of men and women came to stroll about and walk up and down the cobble- stone streets. It was extra- ordinary to see a largepropor- lion of the people circulating in this way and I thought it a pleasant sight. All were well dressed and so very neat. We liked all the cities of Spain. Many small shops lined the streets, each selling its own line of merchandise. The clerks were most gracious to us at all times. Many stores had a sign in their window which r e ad "English spoken here." In the cities were the most beautiful churches of the world and fine a rt museums. If there had only been more time to visit them — the usual regret of the tourist. We had quite a time getting ac custom ed to the meals. Foods are cooked in olive oil and are delicious. Waitresses were al- ways men, well-trained and ef- ficient and they served us With courtesy at all times. Break- fast was always continental with rolls, marmalade and strong coffee .

BY MRS, MAC HODGERT (In October Mr. and Mrs. Mac Hodgert accompanied their mother, Mrs. Min Hod- gert of Collingwood, formerly of Exeter, on a three-week tour of Spain, Portugal and Morocco, Mrs. Hodgert tells about it), On a Saturday afternoon we waved to our family at Tor- onto International Airport as we took up into the air. As the plane tipped its wing we were able to see the shore line of Lake Ontario and the Welland Canal. Dusk moved in, our evening meal was served •and soon we glided down at Idlewild, New York. Never did I believe New York to be such a large city until I saw it from the air, the lights below forming definite street patterns. Here we re- mained for six hours where we met many of the 90 members that made up the tour, five only from Canada. Soon we were on a Swissair DC 8 which, in seven hours and 15 minutes, landed in Lisbon airport, Portugal. IN LISBON This was now Sunday fore- noon in Portugal and a bright, warm day. We were met by our guides who were with us throughout our tour of Portu- gal and Spain. Portugese entry formalities were brief and we proceeded directly to the wait- ing motor coach. After a short drive we were at our hotel in Lisbon. The city of Lisbon is built in tiers on the sides of sur- rounding mountains. Buildings are many stories high. From our hotel bedroom window was a great view of tile-roofed, ston e-structured apartments with washings often draped from the windows. High on the tiered mountain in the background was the beautiful St. George's Cas- tle. Sculpture plays an impor- tant role in Portugese architec- ture as we saw in the castles and on the monuments usually with fountains and the sculptured figures of horses and their riders. Lisbon is a clean city, (that, I say for all Portugal). Side- walks and streets are of cobble- stone. There were no traffic lights, but a policeman stood like a statue at every corner wearing his grey uniform, white helmet, gauntlets and belt. Cars, mostly taxis, were small vehicles. Other means of transportation were street cars, double deck buses, many scooters and motor bikes, The people had .a dark com- plexion, sol emn countenance and were stockily built. All were dressed well in European clothes; only one couple did we see in native costume, It was interesting to see women carry- ing laden baskets on their heads and men bent with heavy loads on their shoulders. The main industry is fishing and we say many ships fishing in the At- lantic off the coast. The country side we travelled in Portugal was rugged with sheep grazing by the wayside. Tile yards were nu m e r o u s. Cork is produced in quantity; tree trunks are stripped of their cork bark every five years. RURAL SPAIN On the third day we drove in two buses into Spain. The cen- tral portion of this country is parched; irrigation is in its primitive form, Shepherds tended their flocks of sheep and goats. Fields were divided by Stone walls very few fences did we see. Roads were narrow, black-topped with little traffic. Construction and betterment of highways is in progreSs,laber- ers using shovels and wheel- barrows. Rural folk lived in small vil- lager where there would be a supply of water. The buildings were Made of white limestone and So clean in appearance. There were no sidewalks, the doors of the homes opened onto the street. Women would be sit- ting in groups mending, child ran playing but no toys did We see, Men folk travelled with their donkeys and oarta to work in the fields. The donkeys had the right Dec, 17 last date for local delivery 10Sr4•0 CANADA '4.6i6iNiii ra. .40.646mili a .4i..6•61i. : Re d r3i.
