WHO WOULDN'T BE PROUD
TO SHARE WITH THEM?
There's not a man, woman or
child in Canada who'd refuse
to share a meal with a Cana,
dian soldier or a victim of the
blitz. And that's just what we
gredoing, when we, the people
of Canada, agree through our
Government, to limit our pur,
chases of meat to two pounds
a week. Rationing is sharing
in the fairest possible way:

A. VISIT TO PARLIAMENT AND
PRIME MINISTER CHURCHILL
(Article No. 25)
By Walter R. Legge
Although our schedule do' not' in-
elude a visit to the British Parliament,
most of the members of the Bomber
Press party managed to steal enough
lime to pay a visit to this bulwark of
'MONUMENTS at first' cost
./laving our factory equipped with the
most modern machinery for the exe-
cution of high-class work, we ask you
to see the largest display of monu-
ments of any retail factory in. Ontario.
All 'finithed by sand blast machines.
We import our granites from the

rough. You can, save all local deal.

seeing us.

at West End Bridge—WALKERTON
freedom.
On September 11th„ the two repre-
sentatives of the weekly press of Can-
ada, Mr, C. V„ Charters and' I paid a
visit to Parliament. Our visit was ar-
ranged through Sir Drummond Shields
secretary of the Empire Parliamentary
Association, who secured for us ad-
mission cards to the Dominions' Gal-
lery.
First we visited Sir Drummond
Shields' office which adjoins West-
minister Hall. This hall is one of the
oldest and most interesting sections of
the Parliament Buildings. It was
built by William Rufus in 1087-1100,
and was altered by Richard II in 1377-
1399. It was originally part of the
Palace of Westminister, was saved
when the rest of the palace was de-
stroyed by fire in 1834, and was in-
corporated in the Parliament Build-
ings, the balance of which date only
from about 1840.
This hall may well be called the
birthplace of democr'acy, for it was
here that in 1265 Simon de Montfort
opened the first parliament, the model
on which all subsequent democratic
parliaments have been patterned. It is
interesting to note that Simon de
Montfort, who is considered to have
been a martyr to liberal government,
was a French-speaking Englishman.
For two hundred years after 1265 the
proceedings of the English Parliament
were conducted in French.
Westminister Hall is 290 feet long,
68 feet wide, and 00 feet high. The
hammer beam roof of carved oak,
which dates from 1399, is one of the
principal features.
Previous to 1882, state trials were
held in this hall, including those of
Charles I, Sir Thomas More, Guy
Fawkes and Warren Hastings. It was
also in this hall that King Edward
VII and George V lay in state before
their funerals,
Next we went to see the ruins of the
House of Commons. It is uncanny the
way in which this room has been tot-
ally destroyed with nothing left but
Hie walls, while rooms next to it have
been practically untouched. It is like
many other spots in England where
one house in the middle of a block is
completely destroyed with those on
both sides left intact.
We were taken to lunch in the Par-
liamentary Restaurant, where we found
that the Members have no favours so
far as food is concerned. It is neither
better nor worse than other restaur-
ants in London. On the walls is an el-
ectric sign which shows who is speak-
ing in the House.
While going through one of the cot--
ridors in the Parliament Buildings. we
came face to face with the Hon. W. P.
Mulock, Postmaster General of Can-
ada, who we were surprised to know
was in England.
We were then taken to the tempor-
ary quarters of the House of Com-
mons. There are about 615 members,
and it must be pretty crowded when all
are present at the same tiime, The de-
bate on the Indian problem was in
progress and we heard some very fine
oratory. We listened to part of the
debate. After hearing something of
this vexing problem from authorities
who have been in India and understand
something about it, we have come to
tthe conclusion • few of those
who offer gratitious advice from a dis-
tance of several thousand miles are
qualified to offer opinions.
It is not an easy matter to attend
a session of the British Parliament at
the present time. There were few
other visitors when we were there, We
were sorry -not to have seen the Prime
Minister in action but he was not in
the House while we were present.
The proceedings were interrupted by
a Royal Commissioin, which is an
elaborate ceremony when bills which
have been passed are sent up for ap-
proval.
While we did not see or hear Mr.
Churchill in the House of Commons,
we were given an opportunity to meet
him informally at a later date.
As Parliament was in session, his
time was taken up more than usual, if
that is possible. Our meeting was set
for twelve o'clock noon, and needless
to say none of the party was late or
absent.
We were shown into 'his office, and
as we entered he came from behind
his desk, and shook each one of -us by
the hand with a firm handclasp. We
were introduced individually by the
Hon. Vincent Massey. Mr. Churchill
made sure he got every name right and
the place from which we came.
The Prime Minister was in his 'usual
black double4hreasted coat, grey strip-.
ed trousers, and bow tie, and WAS ,
smoking the usual cigar, He looked .
to be oven .younger titan when we ,saW..
him at the press •conference in Ottawa
less than a year before, He exuded
health,. vitality, strength and confid-
ence, His complexion was clear, his
face unlined, his brow unfurrowed.
It was an off-the-record conference,
so his Wards cannot be reported but .
as he spoke in quiet, confident tones,
in an informal way, we bung on his
every word. Without minimizing the
difficulties, he breathed determination
to see the war through to ultimate
victory,
To meet him informally as we did is
a privilege we greatly appreciated.
A day or so later, we heard that at
his lunch that day, he remarked that
he was sorry he could not have given
more time to those Canadian editors,
but we were delighted that he was able
to give us the short time that he did.
It was a meeting none of us will ever
forget.
