Shortly after the tender left, the Sylvania started to move along and slowly moved away from the Island. As we passed one of the inlet docks, we noticed that some of our Cana- dian tax money was laying at Butler, Dooley, Clarke & Starke CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS TRUSTEE IN BANKRUPTCY LICENSED MUNICIPAL AUDITOR Are pleased to announce the opening of an office 2nd FLOOR P.U.C.

I don't know who gave them au- thority to leave home, with John Diefenbaker in England and no defence minister. May- be they just sneeked out for a bit of fun. The sea was quite calm and it looked as if we were in for a quiet voyage, but, 0 boy, it wasn't for long. Pat got pretty seasick between Bermuda and New York so the cabin stewart suggested that after leaving Bermuda she should have a needle. So that night we call- ed the ship's nurse and she gave her an injection and the next morning she got up as bright as a dollar and seasickness didn't bother her at all to the end of the voyage. We picked on the late sitting for our meals so we wouldn't have to get up so early. We had breakfast at 9:00 lunch at 1:30 and dinner at 7:45.

Spray Cytrol at 1 gallon per acre as soon as quackgrass is established in the spring. After 7-10 days when- the quackgrass turns white, plow or cultivate. Aero Urea supplies fast -acting and long -last - pg nitrogen in an easy-to-use form. illinember the program -Control quackgrass with Cytrol; keep yields up with Aere Urea; control broad-leaved weeds with Atrazine Aero Urea ---the biggest bag of nitro- ' gen you can buy, lets you apply nitrogen before planting. Broad- cast 100-300 lbs. per acre and work in. As another step towards the con- trol of most weeds, after planting, let the ground settle until just be- fore or after emergence. Then spray Atrazine at 4 lb. of 50% per acre.

You got waited on hand and foot and nothing seems to much trouble, The stewart knocks on your door about 8.30 and puts a program for the day's activities the door. We got up and dressedunder and usually, walked around the deck a couple of times, then had our breakfast. After that Pat usually went to the show at 10 o'clock. We either went in the afternoon or in eveningt. Bythe the nn day the ship be gan to roll a bit, the wind com- ing up a little more and more all the time and by noon, just as we sat down for lunch, the ship gave an awful lurch side- ways, and most of the dishes went to one end of the table. Of course at tables where people hadn't come down for lunch, (either seasick or late) most of the china tumbled to the floor. She settled down after that. I wondered just why a ship is called "she", hut I began to understand in the after- noon. She rolled and she pitch- ed and she sure had her dander up; something was bothering her I am sure. Of course, that's a female for you. I went up on deck with my movie camera and hope I got some good movies of the waves. It was a bit misty, but the waves were at least 20 feet high and when they broke against the ship the spray was really flying. On a day like this tea in the afternoon is a slipshod affair, but by that time the crew had fastened the tables to the floor so every time she rolled you hung onto the table for dear life. A couple of boys Pat's age were sitting in the middle of of the lounge when she rolled sideways. The boys were hang- ing onto the table and the bolt in the floor gave away. The one boy rolled about 5 turns, chair and all. He didn't get hurt and to him, it was a great adventure. From then on it started to level off a bit, but the stewarts and waiters were ready for it. The side boards were put on the tables and at times the tablecloths were wetted down so that the dishes wouldn't slip. The orchestra plays in the afternoon, and dance music at night. Usually there is bingo Rectory Open To Trinity WA FORDWICH-Trinity Angli- can W.A. of Fordwich met for the March meeting at the rec- tory in Gorrie, with the presi- dent presiding. She opened the meeting with a hymn. The Scripture lesson, taken from Isiaah, was given by Mrs. Lloyd Jacques. A meditation on the service for Ash Wednes- day and Lenten season was read by Mrs. R. Foster, Mrs. E. Strong, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. R. Forester and Mrs. P. Browne. The quilt committee. report- ed two quilts completed and two more almost ready to quilt. Ten members and one visi- tor answered the roll call with a Lenten verse. Mrs. E. Fer- guson was in charge of the study book and was assisted by Mrs. Bruce Sothern, Mrs. R. Forster and Mrs. S. Brears. Mrs. Anderson led in the Litany and closed the meeting with prayer. Mrs. R. Foster conducted a contest and lunch was served by the hostess, assisted by Mrs. Lloyd Jacques. Card Social LAKELET-A fair crowd was in attendance for the card so- cial on Wednesday evening. Winners were as follows: High for solo, Gordon McKee, Lake - let; low, Burt Hubbard of Gor- rie; high lady in euchre, Mrs. Chas. Scott, McIntosh; high gent, F. Inglis, McIntosh.

Time seemed to slip along pretty fast. We made about 300 to 400 miles in a day. Of course that is 24 hours per day. If the weather got a little rough she slowed down a little. The last 2 or 3 days the sea calmed down considerably. She had a nice side roll as we neared the coast of Ireland but from then on the sea got smooth- er. We only met one ship in all those miles and once an aircraft circled the ship. It was a happy group of passengers, half Scotch, half English. Most of them were from the States and a few from Canada. We sat with an Eng- lish couple from Wales. He had studied genetics in Calif- ornia for 2-'z years and was working for the British Govern- ment. Pat of course met friends. There were several girls and boys her own age and she really had a ball. I think she hated to see the end of the voyage. The last night we let her stay up late. There was a gala banquet with turkey and all the trimings-hats and ball- oons. After that bingo, cabar- et dancing and a good time was had by all. Of course for those, who wanted a quieter life, there was all kinds of reading material available, shuffle board, ping pong and other games on the sports deck. That night we saw some of the first lighthouses of the north coast of Ireland. At 8 o'clock the next morn- ing we anchored at Greenoch at the mouth of the Clyde. It was pretty chilly and snow was visible on the hills of bonnie Scotland. The tender came along side about 8:30 and our friend from Paisley (Scotland) came on board to greet us. We had breakfast, then got the last of our luggage. The government authorities stamped our passports and land- ing cards and we boarded the tender. We went through the customs without having to open our luggage. Our friend, Crawford Miller, had his car ready for us. On the way to his home, he told us that they had a bit of trouble. Just the day before, their water main froze at the road, so things were very uncomfortable at home and he had made res- ervations for us at the hotel.
