The name of Dover will bring back to the minds of our readers the time when the Scharnhorst ran the gaunt- let successfully. People wondered that such a thing could happen right under the nose of our guns. In those days, however, Dover did not conceal the weapon power with which it has been reinforced today. Even at that time, however, the Dover guns made things a bit unpleasant for the daring German raider, and out of the shots fired at the battleship three were known to have found their mark. The damage inflicted was sufficient to pre- vent the Scharnhorst from putting to sea at that time. Today, the enemy does not possess any ships that could hope to run the gauntlet of the channel. One freighter Captain who dared to attempt it only a few months ago went down with his ship and the mast is still sticking up out of the water A. H. MINH• BIA.

As we toured the Dover area, we were particularly impressed with the control room from which point the fire of the guns is directed with the aid of all the latest instruments. To novices like Ourselves the picture of this control room will forever remain impressed on our minds and here the mysteries of long range shooting were unravelled before our eyes. This alone made the trip to Dover worth while. We lunched at noon in a little restaurant next door to a small pub where most of the party enjoyed a glass of ale before they sat down to one of the best meals we had run into up to that time. The food was well flavored and well cooked. While most of the. boys were enjoying their ale, two of us found ourselves discussing with some of the workmen, the gun power that protects the English coast at this point. We found that the bar- rels of these huge guns were being re- newed and workmen from the big fac- tory in London were busy making the change over which took some two weeks and was then just about com- pleted.

Here and- there the tunnels lead out to the face of the cliff from which vantage point an observer, on a clear day, may see the coast of France. In- deed they can hear the explosion of the big guns which from time to time shell that area. They know just when to duck-and it never pays to be late. Dover is one of the points from which speed launches patrol the chan- nel under the direction of the Royal Air Force when raids are on, to assist in receiving those who come down, in the channel. Torpedo boats are also stationed-here and it was the privilege of our party to take a run in the chan- nel in both types of boats. The channel is usually choppy but these boats made particularly good time as we dashed headlong for the French coast for a couple of miles-and then turned back to Dover in case the Huns might think we were leading the long looked for attack and start shoot- ing. The town of Dover has suffered con- siderably, both from the long range guns on the coast of .France and from enemy bombers, but life goes on much as usual. Even the sound of gunfire doesn't seem to disturb the citizens of Dover-not as much as it did our members, who, as they reached the de- fences, were, greeted with an early morning battery practice, At that moment we did not know but what the enemy were taking a pot shot at the inquisitive reporters and no doubt deep in their hearts there were some of 'our party who were quite ready at that moment to leave the story of Dover unwritten. On our way to Dover we passed through Folkstone, so familiar to thousands of Canadians. It was just outside Folkestone where our regiment was ,billetted when we landed in Eng- land during the last war. Folkestone and his wife and baby Marlene, re- turned home with him on Monday after spending the week with her par- ents, Mr. and Mrs, Archie Aitcheson. Tpr, Donald Ross of Camp Borden, spent the week-end with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ross. The young and old people of East Wawanosh staged an old-time chivari, on Friday last at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Ed. McBurney. Later the bride served lunch and all enjoyed the even- ing with dancing. Miss Bertha MacKay returned to Toronto on Wedriesday last. Mr. and Mrs. jack McIver of Ripley, visited on Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. Walter Lott.
