Why not make it the cruise extraordinary? It costs no, more, per week, than corn- parable living at shore resort or hotel Now is the time to look into the details: The planning literature is complete, beautiful, and 'fascinating.

In England. -:tlleke is a great deal of unemployed and one hears• con- siderable about "The Doles," It isn't quite as humiliating to receive doles in England. as to get in the bread line in one of our Canadian cities but there isn't much difference. It is hard lines for the man who hon- estly wants work and can't get -it. The doles are paid out to those over 16 who are out' of work or have ,a Medical Health ' Officer's certificate. There is „a labor exchange in every borough. and to centres centres the unemployed come and show their discharge papers from their last enh- ployers. ` if the applicant is success- ful a man is allowed 15 shillings:a week or 18 shillings for man and wife; three shillings additional for the first child and a Tiro rata scale for the ` younger ones. Since the, close of the war in 1918 the sum'of £400,000,000 has been paid in doles. That would mean about one and 'three quarter' billion dollars in Can- adian money. That is a tremend- ous drain' on tile" national treasury of .Great Britain` and is one of the worst after -affects of the war. The condition of the farm laborers who are subsisting. on less than $7 a week is also a serious one. ' 'On to the Provinces On Wednesday, July 9th, we were required to have our baggage out- side of the room at 6 a:iu. and as we were late the night before at Lord Beaverbrook's dinner it `:seemed; pret- ty early. At nine o'clock we left Paddington station and 'said good- bye to London with' many regrets because our • Stay in fhe' big city was altogether too short. The ten days passed all too quickly, but time waits for. no man, and we had much to see in the provincial cities and tons before we again set sail. A train ride of a few hears brought us to Leamington a lovely garden town in the Midlands, a place to where many visitors go to partake of the Spa cure= -the saline waters and baths, and to wander in the beauti- ful Jepson Gardens,`, great riot of beauty and color, where the flower lover is in his glory.- From here we motored to Strat- ford -on -Avon, Warwick and Kennil- worth. At Stratford we had lunch with the Mayor ,and on our return 'at ' night to Leamington we were dined by. ' the city council. WVisite the 1 We l clue `or xallnla greatest poet, the immortal a� Shakespeare, at Stratford-on-Aioil�` with! the adjoining tivoQlshop ds ;re- stored, documents in his own hand- writing, saw books containing thee history of the family, his memorial theatre and reading room • and books• from which he collected thoughts for his dramatcal works.

About 15 of' us were let in a room at, a time as. that is all the Small room would con veniently accommodate. Last year no fewer than 76,000 people visited Shakespeare's birthplace and as the. charge to each to visit all the scenes - of William's and Anne's activities is. two shillings sixpence it can readily be seen the trust that carries on: sight-seeing at that place is a paying venture, Of course the state takes a rake-off too. There is no escaping - taxation in this country.° At Strat-- ford -we visited Shakespeare's birth- place, the school, the church and the of his great dramas are played by - local talenty Kenilworth Castle The famous castle. of Kenilworth is now in ruins. Sheep are pastur- ing in the courtyard through which. teueen Elizabeth and her courtiers.. passed on their way to the reception by the Earl .of Leicester. There is. no sign of defences` having: been built around the castle. Much of the stone has been taken away to- build farmer's houses in the ad— „joining counties. It is one immense ruins connecting the, Tudor period with the present. We also visited. Warwick castle made famous in the. Wars of the Roses” as the home 'of' The Kingmaker. Kenilworth Castle -like Hever• Castle, were both old Tudor ,;build- ings, but the former has only a few walls and towers standing while the- latter is in a perfect state 'of pre- servation.
