Wales - no limit
It is said at four out of five
people in Wales bear a e surname
Jones, and signs advertfslalg
family businesses in that part of
Britain bear out the theory. -
There's the story of the
stranger who arrives at a sn aIll
Welsh village and asks an inbiabi-
tant where he might find his
friend, whose name is Jones.
"Is it Jones the grocer?" asks
the loc . "No," replies the
stranger. "Jones the postm,: n?"
"No." "Jones the mayor, may-
be?" "No." "Well, where did you
.meet him," asks the local. "In
Moscow," replies the stranger.
"oh, well, that's it then. You want
Jones the spy."
I the choice of surnames is
circumscribed, there is no limit
to the variety of scenery and
attractions to be found within the
relatively small area (about 8,000
square miles) which is Wales.
Standing amid, the remains of
Criccieth Castle, the visitor, by
turning his head, can take in
Cardigan Bay with miles of sandy
beaches to the south, rolling
forests to the northwest, the
Cambrian Mountains to the east
and the centuries-old town of
Criccieth the northeast.
Castles are an integral part of
Welsh history and a must for any
visitor. Caernarvon Castile is per-
haps the best known and , cer-
tainly among the most grand-
iose. Built by IEdward I, it was
begun in 1283 and completed in
1327. It was planned to be rs +nth a
fortress and a castle.
F dward's successor, the first
Prince of Wales, was probebly
born in the castle precincts and
aliuiougan i.i:e iii ui s 1 ins. c '4
Wales has ever since been ac-
corded the eldest son of the
sovereign, the first to be cere-
monially invested was Edward,
later Edward VIII'; in 1911. Most
recently, in 1969, Prince Charles
was invested at the historic
castle.
Criccieth, less than 20 miles to
the south, is one of the few in
Wales which has remains partly
of Welsh and partly off English
construction although little sur-
vives of the Welsh work forming
the outer ring of defences which
date back to before 1200.
English improvements were
to scenery
carried out between 1205 and- T338
rind the castle was held for Henry
II for some years after war
broke out in 1400 between him
and the Welsh under Owain Glyn-
dwr of Glendower. The castle was
burned and left derelict.
A simple list of the historic
castles, mU 1sions, cathedrals
and abbeys scattered throughout
Wailes would fill pages and the
prospective visitor is well ad-
vised to do some research before
setting out in order to 'formulate

Train service, as fin they rest of
the ritish Isles, is excellent in
Wales. Trains depart London's
Euston Station hourly for
Chester, in Cheshire, just a
stone's throw from the Welsh
border. Within Wales itself,
regular rail service connects
even the smaller hamlets and
offers a lesurely opportunity to
absorb some of the most spec-
tacular scenery in the British
Isles.
An automobile offers unlimited
freedom of choice. Go when you
want, where you want and stop
when you feel like it. Those opting
for a car should be sure to do at
least some driving on the narrow,
meandering secondary roads,
banked by high, colorful hedge-
rows which provide shelter for a
wide range of small animals,
birds and insects.
A personal but incomplete list
of places of particular interest
would include:
—World's End, a centuriesoold
cottage, where, according to
local legend, Queen Elizabeth I
gave birth an illegitimate child
hit 1563.
—Marford, where a group of
tiny, scaled-down houses with a
decidedly Moorish architectural
influence huddle at the side of the
road. They are thought to be
more than 500 years old, although
no one is 'really sure and there
does not appear to be an explana-
tion for their size, which does not
permit even an individual of
average height to stand up
straight in the rooms.
—Isle of Anglesey. separated
by a narrow channel from the
mainland and boasting 125 miles
of bays and beaches, none more
than 15 miles from the centre of
the island.
—Snowdonia National Park, an
845 square mile tract of land ex-
tending from the approaches to
Caernarvon and Conway south-
wards to the Dovey Estuary in
mid -Wales. Some of the finest
mountain scenery, interspersed
with wooded valleys which
shelter tiny stone hamlets, are to
be found here.
—Aberyst*yth, the popular
seaside resort in mid -Wales.
University College of Wales and
the National Library of Wales are
located here,'and you need a map
to find it because the word is
almost impossible to pronounce.
—Any pub or inn in the country
or small villages. Find one that
serves Wrexham draft lager,
order a pint and eat the plough-
man's lunch consisting of cheese,
pickles, raw fresh vegetables and
an apple. Great value at just over
a dollar for food and drink. If
you're lucky the publican aid the
regulars standing around may
even switch from Welsh to
English and ask where you're
from.

SETTER ENGLISH
By D. C. Williams
WORDS OFTEN MISUSED -
Do not say, "Neither of the
two twins care about dressing
identically." Omit the redun-
dant word, "two", and say.
"CARES about dressing iden-
tically."
Correctly, one agrees TO a
thing, agrees WITH a person,
agrees ON a matter, and agrees
IN an opinion or decision.
Do not say. "He looks some-
.. :,like his - brother." Say. "He
-c..looks SOMEWHAT like his
brathar."
Distinguish between LUX-
URIANT (abundant or exuberant
in ` growth) and LUXURIOUS
(rich; sumptuous; • epiowean).,,•
Thus: "The country is LUX-
URIANT in vegetation', nd,
"She likes a LUXURIOUS way
of life."

I wasn't surprised at all when
the insurance people announced
recently that in all the long list of
normal occupations,- farming is
regarded as the most hazardous
of all. It goes without saying of
course that the report was not .
concerned with any question of
financial risks --r though I suspect
that farming might have topped a
list of financial hazards too. What
this survey claimed was that
there were more accidents per
minute per farmer than there.,
wbre in any of the other jobs
commonly regarded as constitut-
ing a normal, unspectacular way
to make a living. The report
naturally did not include such
professions as stunt flying,
soldiering and acrobatics.
When you think of it more
seriously, the reason for the high
hazard of farming is rather ob-
vious. It just inn't the peaceful
profession which the poets and
artists and city people seem to
think that it is. One has to grow
up on a farm, I think, to fully ap-
preciate the infinite variety of
perils which have always
threatened the farmer; and the
coming of the machine age cer-
tainly hasn't lessened those
rils.
And while I have every sym-
pathy for each of the numerous
safety campaigns which do their
best_ to protect us, it must be`-
obvious that as long as -farming
continues to be a struggle where
one must encounter the un-
planned and the unexpected, it
will continue to be plagued with
unplanned and unexpected acci-
dents. And even if our safety
experts should manage a new
caution booklet every Monday,
they could never hope to list the
infinite number of mishaps which
can and do happen to perfectly
sensible farmers.

I remember once that my
father got himself into a most
lamentable situation by simply
turning a cow out of the stable
after milking. She happened to
loiter in the stable doorway to be
in the best interests of sanitation,
so my father just lifted his foot
against her rear end to speed her
up. But it was fly time, and he
had tied her tail to her hock and
forgotten to untie it. Hence his
kick resulted in his foot getting
snared in the loop between tail
and hock. The cow responded to
the kick as she was expected to do
and away she went across the
barnyard with -dad yelling at the
top of his lungs and doing his best
to bring his one free foot back to
earth once in a while. For-
tunately, the binder twine which
held that tail wan't quite as
strong as the advertisements had
bragged •and the adventure
eventually ended satisfactorily
for both cow and man.
Another time I came near to
tragedy myself by simply bring-.
ing home a pail which had just
been emptied of linoleum
cement. We had always liked that
kind Of pail at our farm. They're
big aria they're strong — ideal for
feed pails. But you have to build a
fire in them first to burn out
whatever cement is still clging
inside.
I had procured this particular
pail downtown and had placed it
in the back of the farm truck
which our boys were driving
home ahead of me. But it seems
that the boys dallied a little on the
way home, as boys so often will,
and at one of their stops they
went into a hardware store to
make a few small purchases
which -trey promptly threw into
the big pail in the back of their
truck.
That night, when I got home
and began my chores, one of the
first things I did was to roll my
newly acquired pail into a bonfire
to burn it out, and immediately I
was astounded to hear it erupt
like a machine gun, with little
spurts of fire shooting out at me.
Just as I was beating a -confused
retreat the boys came out of the
house to see what the racket was,
and it was then that the truth
broke.
"Oh my gosh!" they said, "we
forgot to take out that pack of .22
sheds we bought this afternoon!"
Now I ask you, can the farm
ever hope to become safe when
it's actually possible to shoot
yourself with a feed pail?
