Reid of Brampton, Ont., and Algie Wallace of North Gower, Ont., Canada's champion plowmen, on. their trip to the British Isles, Eire and France. This is the first of a sseries of five weekly articles he has written experiences and impressions. It hardly seems poSsible that this is 1953 and it is two months since the three of us took off by air to start another Canadian plow- men's tour of the British Isles and to compete against European plow- men, By thelime we returned we had experienced our first "pea-souper" —the worst fog in London's vecent history — visited Canadian war graves in France, seen some of the finest agricultural land in ..the world, and rubbed shoulders with, and spoken to, representatives of almost every nationality you can think of. However, before I tell you about the trip, I had better tell you as team manager about their isn't a mood of resignation. It iS rather a spirit of "There's no use whining about all this. We went into it with our -eyes open, so we'll see it through.' When we remembered some of the complaining and grousing that goes on over here; I think we all felt a little ashamed. Together ,with this wonderful spirit was an extreme politeness on the part of the English. We met it through England. After the raring, tearing, "let's get there in a hurry" rudeness that it seems to me, is so general here, it was as refreshing as a summer rain. On the platform of London's St. Pancras station our tall, white western -style hats, decorated with a maple leaf, revealed us as strangers. Within as many min- ute§ six people approached US, smilingly said "Hallo," and asked if there was anything they could do for us. That sort of thing happened to us wherever we went. Another thing that made a strong impression was the breath - MAPLE LEAF CHAPTER The Maple Leaf Chapter of the I.O.D.E. • held its January meeting on Tuesday evening, January 0, at the home of Mrs. Fred Noble, Victoria street. The regent paid special thank a to all who had as- 'sisted in making the party for the new Canadians such a happy one with particular thanIgs to Miss Josie Saunders, convener of im- migration and Canadianization committee. Mrs. Brewer and her committee were also' given com- mendation for proving Christmas cheer to patients in the hospital. According to the telephone galls and letters received, the work of Mrs. Fred Sturdy in distributing Christmas baskets to,the aged Was very much appreciated. The chap- ter gave a donation of money to the Walker family, whose home had been burned, as well as a large amount of clothing and bed- ding that members had brought along to the meeting. Miss Florence Paterson report- ed that she had presented two books to Grant Allaire for art prizes at the Collegiate commence- ment. The regent thanked Miss Paterson for the many duties she has performed during the past year as convener of education. Mrs. Mathers reported that she is still gathering woollen material for blankets. The folloWing donations were made, to the provincial chapter: Endowment fund for national em- ergency, $5; work in India. $5; film fund, $5; shipping fund, $5. The February meeting wjil be held at the home of Mrs. Stan Prevett. little in this first letter, but in those that follow I will trace our path through the British Isles and hope that you will get as much ,enjoyment from the telling as we aid from the doing. 4. Shiite keeediterif' It ASH.F1ELD W.M.S. The January meeting of Ashfield Presbyterian W.M.S. was held at the home of Mrs. Van De Lay, on Thursday, January 15, ivith Mrs. Wilson, president, presiding. The theme of the meeting was "Prayer and forgiveness," and the meeting opened' by singing "'Tis the blessed hour of prayer." Mrs. Ewart Jamieson read the Scrip- ture and Mrs. Wilson gave the meditation on it. The roll mill was answered by an appropriate verse from Scripture. Mrs. Russ Bissett read a well-prepared paper on the 2nd, chapter of the study book of Africa. Mrs. Howes and Mrs. Colin MacGregor read short poems. Miss Sadie Johnston gave a very detailed report of the an- nual meeting of Maitland Presby- terial, which was held in Wing - ham on January 13, and which she attended. Mrs. Hugh Mac- Kenzie read the story of the writ- ing of the hymn, "Abide With Me," after which it was sung. Prayers were offered by Mrs. D. R. Mac- Kenzie, Mrs. Duncan MacKenzie and Mrs. D. A. MacLean. A nice lunch was served by the hostess and her friends and a social time enjoyed. KINETTE CUB A meeting of the Kinette Club of Goderich was held on January 5- at the British Exchange Hotel.

Reid something about us, and how we came to make the journey. • For the past seven years the grand' Prize of the Ontario Plow- men's Association annual_ Interna- tional Plowing Match has been a gold medal' and a trip to Europe for the champion horse and trac- tor plowmen, with all expen:ies paid by Imperial Oil. The prizes are offered for the _winners of a special class known as the Esso Trans -Atlantic class. . The winners at last October's match held at Carp, near Ottawa, were 26 -year-old Douglas S. Reid, of Brampton, Ont., in the tractor class, and 35-year-old,1 Algie Wal- lace, of North Gower,vOnt., in the horse class. Algie's win was a matter' of great pride in eastern Ontario. He was the first plowman to bring a championship to the eastern counties in the 39 -year history of, the O.P.A. Each year it is the custom 61 -the O.P.A. to select a team -man- ager to accompany the plowmen. In addition to acting as manager, he also is the group's official chronicler and reporter. I consid- er it a great honor to have been chosen. I am a director and past president of the 0.P.A., and hare been a lifelong dairy farmer at Finch in Ontario's Stormont Coun- ty. You are probably wondering why we did not write while. we were overseas. There are two . reasons. . It has been the practice in past years for the winning,. plowmen to make their overseas visit in January and February, in time to participate in the NortUrn Ireland International Match at Belfast. This time the 0.1,,A. directors de- cided we ,should make our trip almost immediately after the Inter- national match and compete in- stead in the British National Ploughing match at -Falkirk, Scot- land. During the match there was to be a trial of a set of rules that had been proposed for internation- al plowing competitions. The O.P.A. was anxious for Canadian plowmen to take part in this trial. Leaving at that time also al- lowed me t� Sit in with J. D. Thomas, of Toronto, the 0.P.A.'s ispecial delegate, at the 11 -nation conference at . Stirling, Scotland, which decided to hold the first world plowing match in Canada this fall. However, the early November departure meant there was little time for preparation of many things, among them arrangements with weekly editors for publication of our letters to you. A quick poll taken' among editors of our ac- quaintance showed they thought it would be better if we related our experiences after our return for publication after the Christmos rush. So for the next few weeks we will try to recall for you the things that impressed us most and some of the wonderful people we net during the trip. , I think I can say without hesita- tion that the one thing that im- pressed us most, and certainly the thing that will live in my memory for a long time, was the amazing spirit of the people of England. Reading newspaper accounts and predictions of approaching nation- al bankruptcy, scarcity of food and high taxes, we had expected to meet gloomy, disgruntled people. Though bomb damage still spars acres of London (we saw only one new building), the people ,we met. never once mentioned the war, the high taxes which. are eveli now still paying for that war, or the stringent rationing which is •an- other holdover from those bleak years. Had we not known better we could have concluded there never had been a war or rationing. It is easy to be generous when one has plenty, but it is quite a different matter to be generous on the meagre rations which Britons have put up with for the past la years. I can remember sitting down to tea in the dining room of a quaint oak -beamed holm 400 years old. On the table were hot scones dripping with butter. The butter repreSented some two weeks' ra- I tions for our hosts, but that was a -subject that was never discussed Don't misunderstand me. It Algie Wallace taking beauty of the war graves I visited .during a two-day trip we made to France. The, cemeteries and graveyards of. Our soldiers who fell in the two world Wars would stand comparison with the finest parks in the world. No ,monument could .better show our gratitude than these acres of grem grass, beautiful flowers andsuriph. ,white crosses, that reveal the most loving and tender care.
