wishes to the ninety who had made
reservations to travel to Ottawa, the
capital city pf Canada. 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

Vale. 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,

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.

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-

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.
