During the long journey northward Item Londots, and especially as we passed through the\Lake district, I had a feeling of ascending a grade; like Dante in his ascent from the nether regions. for there is, something pur- gatorial about London.

There is a distinct difference between the Scots and 'the English; it is the difference that one finds between the northern and southern people of every country. Even in little Vales this is quite noticeable, and I have already remarked upon the distinction between the people of the north and south of. England. The' Scots struck Inc as being more like the Canadians, and this may be explained by,the fact that so much of our country was largely e ttled by Scottish pioneers. I would not dare to c'untpare Edinburgh with Toronto, but I must say that as a Torontoniast I felt more at hon=e in Ediiibnrgh than in any other city I visited in Britain—not "executing ray native city of Liverpool, Ancient City with Modern Spirit Edinburgh is an ancient cite ' w It a modern spirit - and- outlook. It cherishes its historic pint, as illustrated in the preservation of the Castle on the hock, with its. impressive Nation=al War Memorial and other re -lie . of the past, but there is nothing morbid about' its respect• for old thinges. The English are too ranch inclined to cling to the past -end sentimentalize on former things. . The Londoners love a building merely because it is • old and dirty. They would 'regard it as sacrilege,- for instance, if one even suggested the cleaning -up . of Buckingham Palace, which to me is a sooty eyesore and disfigurement to Whitehall. As a< residential symbol of 'royalty it is not only a disgrace, but it lowers the dignity of the Crown anal 'meg it -as a relic fit only for a mese 111 rather than an 'institntiiit of national 1111d imperial authority in a progressive world.- .The Londoners won't - like that, but as a native and , lbver of England I would seriously suggest that they clean1 up Buckingham Palace ---or. better still; pull- it clown and erect in, its place a building worthy of theI present as well as the historic importance of the constitutional monarchy of (treat Britain. There may be some places .in E,din1 beret' that :should be' cleaned up or pulled clown. The spacious grandeur .of Princes street is in striking contrast to other congested parts of thecity with their five- and s1x-story tenements in which working people live cramped live:.. Many of these places are well lett by the housewives and most of the people seen' to be contented enough with their• close quarters.. It occurred to me, In. passing down, these narrow streets of .flat -fronted grey -stone tene- meats, that the characteristic "clae- nishness" of the -Scots abroad was de rived frons this type of hgl)itation In which they lived so close together. Grey Stone Is Monotonous The enure city is -,built of grey stone —thef•e • isn't a red brick to be seen anywhere. The first impression is one of solidity and is net unpleaaing,'but the heavy, grey uniformity of street after street of stone buildings awl dwellings becomes rather monotonoule and one- aids to turn a corner and see a street or ,even a house of a different color or material. Glasgow is the same, but its drab solidity and tortuous streets were to`• me mere deptr'essring.

Out of the lonely 'North there came word of discovery. The searching ' picks of the prospector . had chipped Pitch- blende from the rugged face of the rock. A ne* major source of Material for Radium, for U-235, for Plutonium, had !seen found. • Because of this discovery, the beneficent ministrations of radium have been' made available to increased thousands of suffer- ing people at such a price thatits curative powers could be used for rich and poor alike. Then, too, Canada, possessing quantities of Uranium, is assured of a leading position in the develop- ment of all the benefits of this new power which are indicated but as yet unproved. Today the pitchblende degiosits at Great Bear Lake belong to the Canadian Government ' in trust for the Canadian people. Wisely used, this great riew asset can bring us measurably closer to• that future greatness and security we call Canada Unlimited. And just as the Victory Bonds we bought during the war helped; ' ee Amongst other things, to develop atomic energy for war purposes, the Bonds we hold will pro- vide for the utilization of - the fruits of Canadian discovery in a better, 'finer, world. 1841 One of a Sr -ries deputing the growth of, Canada as a natIOn. produced by O'Kecfa•s on theoccaaran of their 100th ann`lveraant. cpowr, carv.Ya.Y9 auepaoa6 0
