To some it was to say good-bye, fqr several of the overseas women left the party at Ottawa to join the Maritime tour and later to to parts ef the United States. In the party were delegates from India, Pakistan, Egypt, Ger- many, Norway, Sweden, Rhodesia, Australia, Holland, England, Scot- land, Ireland, South Africa, United States, as Well as from most of the Canadian provinces. Sam and Ted were the courteous and careful bus drivers. Chaperoning the party were nox Women's Institutes were host- three directors of the F,W.1,0.

Several wore their national During the afternoon Collins Bay with its penitentiary, Queen's Uni- versity and the Royal Military Col- lege, Kingston, were points of inter- est observed, But the highlight was visit to Fort Henry, where the party was met at the entrance by officere in charge and the special program arranged included manoeuvres by students of the Military _college wear- ing uniforms and carrying anima- tion as of 1882. The mascot was a white goat which proved welt train- ed, shaking hands with the ladies. In- teresting, too, was the fife and drum band used in those earlier daye. The ladies were taken through the offic- ers quarters, where there were four- poster' beds in three of the rooms, In the kitchens were the utensils for baking and cooking and the ovens where the bread was made. An interesting item was the square glass doors in the wall of each room where the ammunition was kept in ease of sudden attack by the enemy, The visitors were asked to sign the great guest book and tea was served, From,Fort Henry the tour contin- ued to the Ivy Lea Bridge, which joins the Province of Ontario and the State of New York, At the point of division a delegate from India and one from Africa asked to have their The Wingbant Advance-Times, Wednest.htb Sept 41), VAC Pugs VW. pictures taken. Then on to Brock- ville, where the chief point of inter- eat was the Ontario Hospital'. In the evening the party was div- ided, Bus Mi. 1 staying at Prescott and those in the second bus going to KeMptville, where delegates were the guests of Grenville Women's Institut- es and entertained at Kemptville Ag- ricultural school, The writer was with the group at Prescott, where dinner was served at a local hotel. Our hostess for the night lived on a bill overlooking the St. Lawrence River, truly a tourist's paradise. In the morning a group of W.X. members were on hand to give us a send-off. Among them were two frail and very old ladies, identical twins well over eighty. I took their picture, Our trip continued along the St. Lawrence and Rideau Rivers and at 10 a.m. we arrived at the Experimen- tal Farm, Guides conducted the party in groups through the gardens, both flower and vegetable. Visitors were delighted with the apple trees and could be seen hunting one to eat un- der the trees which were laden with fruit, Carleton Institutes entertained at luncheon at a large marquee on the grounds of the experimental sta- tion at Ottawa.

W.W,, the visitors Were enthusiastic about Canada and Canadians, They were amazed at the amount of plan- ning for Canada Eay, especially the pageant, "Dominion of Destiny", and were deeply appreciative of the hoe- pitality extended. As far as the hospitality was con- cerned, it was only the beginning. Leaving the hotel at 9 a.m., the first stop was at Port Hope, Here the party travelled along the lovely lake shore road, stopping for lunch at Na- Panee, where the members of Len- D. n n a a a a a n a n n n a a a a a a a a a a a a a n off • n n a a an a n n • a n a Eta a n a n n a n a n a n n n n n n a a a n n a n n n n n a n 4011 • n n n n n n n • • • • • n n n n n n GAMES WHEELS BINGO • a a a n off a n a a n a an n n n a Nn n n n a n n n a • • n n • • • n 111110111111111111010Mitto11uii111IUMOIMIUMM1111111111110111111011111 "Si WI1110111111 A E NA DANCING BOTH NIGHTS TO HENDERSON'S ORCHESTRA SATURDAY, SE ROY AND DORIS HEAD ( Top exponents of Magic & Ventriloquism ) Bonnie Lind - Dancing Acrobat BRUSSELS LEGION PIPE BAND ADMISSION n Adults 25o Children FREE T. 12 SINSINIIIIIIII11110111111111113111111111111111111111 a 12 Vat VS a a a n a a iii a es a ill 6 a ire E n n ll a a • a a U n a a a a a • n '-a • n • • a n n a n a a a a a a a Then followed a drive to Rock- cliffe, Rideau Hall and the embassies, and finally the Parliament Buildings, the Peace Tower, House of Commons and the Senate Chamber. Our guide stated that between three and four thousand visit the Parliament Build- ings every day. Parliament Hill was a colorful sight with its many visitors flags of the nation and its Mounties. One Mountie told us his horse had kha attended the Coronation and at his EN command, it raised its foot to shake LI hands. El Arriving back at the Experimental Station we were met by hostesses of Carleton County. For the evening the group was divided. Those wish! tr'6 ing to do so were guests at the Ot- tawa Fai r. Those billeted far out in the country were guests at a gar- den party held at the home of a W.I. member. To give one an idea of the forethought and hospitality of those; entertaining I must tell you the' grounds in this beautiful farm home were especially lighted for the party, which was attended by 125. All joined in singing the old songs and when requests were asked for Mrs. Greiss, of Egypt, asked for the Maple Leaf, Mrs. K. Kuppwswamy, of India, sang an Indian song, later interpreting it. Mrs. Greiss gave a short address, when she said words failed to express the appreciation felt for the affection and hospitality they received in Canada and she said that was something she would remember all her days. Refreshments were served by the Carleton group. Tuesday morning all gathered at the Experimental Station for the re- turn trip via Smith's Falls, Perth, ar- riving at Madoe for luncheon served in the basement of the United Church. As soon as the buses came in sight we heard the strains of the bagpipes, the piper wearing the special plaid , , of the late King George VI. Each vis- itor was presented with a corsage. The luncheon reminded one of the country garden parties, the tables laden with food. Leaving Madoc, the next stop was at Norwood, where a new twelve- room school was visited. Here also the W.I. members were on hand with cool drinks. Nearing Peterboro we enjoyed police escort and our buses were boarded by two members of the Chamber of Commerce, who pointed out the important sights. One will remember the well-kept cemetery in the centre of the city with flowers everywhere. The lift locks, too, were interesting, and during our short stay a boat came through. Leaving Peterboro, the first bus stopped at Manilla, the second at Sunderland. At the former, Victoria County was in charge, and at the latter, Ontario County. Tables were centred with sweet peas - and printed menu cards were passed around and autographs made a valuable sou- venir. A member of the W,I. sang "Will Ye No Come Back Again" and all joined hands in the traditional "Should Auld Acquaintance Be For- got". Then we were on the last lap of the journey. Because of shortage of hotel room in Toronto many stay- ed for the night with groups near the city. M they left the bus with an affectionate good-bye there was a feeling of sadness, knowing that soon many would be separated by great I distances with only the memory of the A.C.W.W. and tours across Can- ada. The last delegate I talked to was from Norway. She said, "We shall ne- ver forget the kindness shown us, But what has impressed me even more is the kindness of the Canadian Tues., Wed., Sept. 8-9 women one to another wherever we have gone." If the one thousand delegates at- tending A,C.W.W. take this thought back to the women of their countries, members of the planning committee, who have put so much time and en- ergy into organizing the conference, will recognise their part in bringing about world peace, but will also ac- cept the challenge for a greater con- tribution" to the aims of the Associat- ed Countrywomen of the World.
