At 7.30 a in.. Wednesday, July 124th. 1 left Goderich to attend the Ninth World Buy Scout Jubilee Jamboree at Sutton Park, Coldtield, dVarwicloshire, r a ;rand: 1 travel- ' led by car to Mallon Airport, ar- riving there at 10 o'clock in the morning. Already, there were close to 500 people waiting to see the giant aircralt off for England. At 10.30 a.m. our 'baggage was weighed and recorded, because none of the baggage was to exceed 40 pounds in weight. Many of the ,boys had to leave their excess bag- gage behind. At 11.30 a.m., custom officials arrived to check over the equipment :rid make sure our custom forms were made out cor- rectly. At 210 p.m. we boarded the plane, some two hours and 10 minute, late. The plane left after a short spt1ch by Frank Worth. Assistant Commissioner for On- tario. The plane itself was just like a small village. The crew were three pilots, two navigators, two flight engineers, and three air hostesses. The common folk were the 114 scouts • nd their leaders who were travelling to the jam- boree. At 3 o'clock, we were serv- d a hot meal consisting ,cif hot turkey, peas" potatoes, two differ- ent desserts, and the choice of either coffee, milk or tea. While passing over Quebec, the long nar- row fields each leading to the river were quite noticeable. While pass - ng over Newfoundland we were oreed to fasten our safety belts to avoid being bounced around by he . bad weather. It was a non- stop flight until we reached Shan- non. Ireland, where we were oblig- ei to make a 45 minute stop so that he plane could refuel. About 21.. ours flying time out of. Ireland we ran out of water and were forc- d to wait until we arrived at the irport at Sh:rnngn to quench our hirst. We arrived at London City Airport at 8.30 in the morning British Standarjl Time) or 3.30 .nn., our time. Somewhere along he way, we lost five hours of leep because of the difference in IN, two times. The plane itself ravelled at a speed of 310 miles er hour ard at an altitude of 7.500 feet. After 1 arriur' , at London City Airport I took a bus to Waterloo station. some 15 Miles away, where T met my gr;andfather and grar>;�_, - mother who were just finishing their trip to England and France. 'They then took me to see Buck- ingham Palace which is the of- ficial residence of 'the Queen. Guarding the gates of the palace were the Welsh Guards wearing f e h a .t It p 1 t he famous husbys of those sold- iers who guard the palace. Be- ! cause no flag was flying over the pa'ace the Queen was not at her official residence, but she is spend- ing her summer on the Channel Islas on an official 'visit. We then went to Westminster Abbey. a magnificent huildng in which lie; the tombs of many of the famous king; and queens of England- There are also tombs of famous poet;, soldiers and politic- ,ans throughout the Abbey. Just inside the entrance is the memorial to those who died in the 1st great War, 1914-1918, called the Un- known Soldier's (.rave. The Ab- • hey. as everyone knows, is the FRANK .

ART PEACHEY, attending the Golden Jubilee of Boy Scouts in JT igland, sends special despatches from overseas by air mail to The Signal -Star.' Two other Goderich boys attending are Bill Haysom and John Simmons. place where the coronation takes place. Inside the *Abbey is found the Coronation Chair, a large wooden chair whose arms and whose seat are covered with a blue velvet. At each of the four legs of the chair is a golden lion which stands as though it is about to attack something. A surprising feature of the chair is the .initials carved into the "back of it. Under the seat of the chair is the Stone of Sct ne which was stolen some three years ago, but is now put back into its proper place. Also found inside the Abbey is King Henry VIIth's chapel. Along the walls are a number of stately looking chairs over which is hung the b.nners of the knights of old. There is also a communion table and baptismal font in this chapel. The two towers outside of the Abbey- which are over three times as high as the Goderich Court House. can be seen throughout the whole of the city. This is indeed a beautiful example of Gothic architecture and appeals to people 1 of all religious..denominations. I -alien visited Number 10 Down- ings street, the official residence of the prime ministers of England I and which the-, famous British' Prime Minister, Winston Churchill made famous during recent few years. Then I visited the British Podia -1 ' ment Buildings, and also heard Big Ben strike three o'clock :n the ' afternoon. The parliament was in sc=cion sn we were unable to get into the building without a noflicial pass. Later .on I saw the ins.peet.ion of the horse guards at Whitehall. The changing of the horse guard takes place every day :n the morning at Buckingham Palace but I shall describe it in another letter. Around 4.30, I visited my first English teahouse where everyone who is in London goes for their daily cup of tea in the afternoon { Waterloo Cattle Breeding Association "VI/HERE BETTER BULLS ARE USED" NO -SERVICE 0 N AUGUST y3 and 14 The National Association of Artificial Breeders, an inter- national organization, are coming to Toronto, Ont., for their annual convention.

After walking along the Mall that is the Coronation route, I b° good-bye to my grandmother an grandfather at Waterloo Terming and left for Nor vich, England; 1 miles ,forth of London. Second Article The city that I am staying at i 140 miles north of London, Eng land. It is called Norwich and is part of the county of Norfolk. The surrounding countryside is very flat and from some of the high old buildings you can see for miles around. The ocean is only 30 miles away from Norwich. About a year ago, the water from the ocean rose so high that it flooded the countryside for 30 miles; actually it came right up to the city , of Norwich which is built in a valley. Now to stopthe ocean from overfiow:ng and ood- ing the countryside, they have built dikes under the watchful eyes of those famous dike builders, the Dutch. The city has many fine hotels where a visitor to the pity can get a room and breakfast for only 10 shillings, or $1.50 in Canadian money. Any of the visitors visitiig this fine old city will remember Paul's Ferry which is actually the place where the moat was built by those who wanted to get into the city in olden days. AIso along the river are found the old boom towers which are some 50 feet high. When the people of the city wanted to stop any pirates 'attacking from the river, they would lower the chair from the boom tower into the river. This is probably where the idea for the design for the "submarine nets" came. from. Also fon 7f in the city is the Great Hospital dating back to the year 1249 A,D. An interesting feature about this ancient hospital is the Swan pit. When swans were plentiful about England this pit was used to keep them in until they were ready to be used for food. Now it is used strictly for a place of beauty. The Cathedral at Norwich is one of sheer beauty. It is a fare ex- ample of Norman architecture and has the second highest spire in the whole country. The spire is 318 feet high. On top of the spire is a weather cock, the size of a full grown donkey, but from the ground it looks onlyn about the size of a small chicken. The nave, although it is not the largest or the loftiest, is 250 feet long and 95 feet high. The huge pillars, the great semi- circular arches ai e superb ex- amples of the work by the Normal builders with hand 1a_.$annr.�,w;. itive tools. The stone roof was not built until 300 years later. It replaced the wooden roof which was. badly damaged by a fire in 1463. 'The 328 painted sculptures at the intersections illustrate Bible his- tory from the Creation to the Last Judgment. .The afire and tri- foriums are pure Norman and are the &.nest:. in -England.- Outside supporting the heavy roof are the flying buttresses which Iead your eyes upwards to the lofty stone spire. Tne Cloisters are perhaps the largest left in England. 'racy' took 130 years to build and are truly an asset to this +beautiful cathedral. The City Ball, which was finish- ed in 1938, was opened by King George VI. Since my aunt was a former Lord Mayor of the city and now is the deputy Lord Mayor, I enjoyed an excellent tour. The council. chambers is a beautiful room with press facilities and a j public gallery. It is much like the U.W. Assembly Room. There is also a room 300 feet in length which can be divided for smaller meetings into six rooms of 50 feet in length, but far a large banquet 1 or official reception it can also be used. I 'next visited the city vault � where the city regalia is kept.I It is indeed very beautiful and many pieces were made during the reign of Queen Elizabeth by local Norwich goldsmiths. These pieces were presented by the craftsmen themselves or by citizens bf the city. Some of the pieces are dated back to the year 1649. I next visited the church of St. Peter Mancrafts'. There I saw the Thistle Cup which is worth £25,000 or $'75,000.00. After signing the register, the vicar talked to me about Canada. It seemed that he was stationed at Kingston duribg the war. a I then went to the. football field, but there was no game so I did not stay very long. I am going to see a game on the 17th of August. I visited the Norwich Scouts. The Commissioner for Norfolk County took me to the Scout headquarters. Their headquarters are part of a large land estate which was lent to them by a noble. The surprising feature of the Scout camp is that they have to buy wood each month . for firewood. I travelled to Suttee Park with the Norwich Scouts. Whe•t1 I ar- rived at Sutton Park I took another train to Rirmingh•am, I'stayed in Birmingham with Mr. and Mrs. Chradle. Mr. Chradle was station- eelat Port. Albert Airport during the Second World War. He was surprised by the many changes at Port Albert and in Goderich. While staying with these people d visited Stratford-'Upon-Avon which is the birth -place of Shake- speare. At Stratford there is a large memorial theatre where the Shakespearean productic n . take place. The day I visited the park there were many scouts there who- were ho were travelling to the jamboree. We then passed" through the Vale of Evesham where all the Midland fruit is grown. The next day I visited the City ofBirmingham and left for the Jamboree arril,ing there at 3.30 in the afternocn. The large cities in England are putting down the slum districts and are erecting apartment build- ings to save space . in the over- populated districts. An the roads over here are pav- ed and divid'ng the roads into sections are "cut eyes" which are t F- e d� t 4q s District. fall Fairs Dates of fall fairs of agricultural societies in this district are as follows: Bayfield Blyth Brussels Clifford Elmira 'Exeter Forest Gorrie Kincardine Listowel London Lucknow Mitchell Port Elgin Ripley St. Marys 4 Wheat Ripens in the Swath—Use of the swather and a pickup attach- ment for the combine enables wheat to be cut from a week to 10 days before it is ready for combining. Three years tests at the Canada Departmerit.9f Agriculture's Experimental Farm, Swift Current, Sask,, indicates that wheat can be swathed at a kernel moisture content of 35 per cent, compared with the 14.5 per cent required for safe storage when standing grain is combined, without loss of quality or yield. The swath made at this stage is firmly anchored in the stubble, reducing losses that may occur from rain, hail, shattering and insects, and avoids some of the mechanical losses that accompany straight combining. The swath may 'be picked up with a combine four days after swathing during normal harvesting weather. Above is shown the pickup attachment on a combine threshing grain from the swath. reflectors sunk into the road. Some of the more important routes have a sidewalk running along side for those who want to walk to the next city. Some roads even have a 15 foot strip beside them especial- ly for bicycles. The cars over here are in espec- ially good shape and the owners always spend a whole day. on their cars .-each week. 0 DUNGANNON DUNGANNON, Aug. 6.—Mr. and Mrs. Reg Boww, eof Saltford, visit- ed Mrs. Minnie Jones and Mel, on Monday.
