Partially Rebuilt
The new carillon of eighteeo bene
which now rings out from All Hal•
lows by the Tower across the City
of London Is the gift of a Canadian;
and it ds thanks mainly to the gen-
erosity of friends from overseas and
to the energy of the vicar, the
Reverend P. B. Clayton (founder
of Toe -H) that this ancient church,
the oldest parish church in London.
is now being rebuilt.
The foundation stone of the new
Church was laid by H. M. the
Queen almost exactly a year ago,
and on that stone is carved the date
of the church's original foundation
A.D. 654. That was Saxon England,
and when Hitler's bombs hit All
Hallows by the Tower, behiod the
panelling of the great organ there
came to life something unique—a
Saxon arch—built from a Roman
ruin, which experts say goes back
to the later part of the seventh
century; also fragments of a Saxon
monument, thought to be a cross
erected to a Saxon warrior, at the
time of St. Dunstan.
Of course, the main fabric of the
church is not nearly so ancient; it
dates (or rather dated, because the
blitz only
leftthree thr e a. 1
a 1s and the
church tower standing) front the
fifteenth century. The great, brick
tower built in 1657 by Oliver Crom-
well survived the Great Fire of
London in 1666. So did the church
itself, thanks mainly to the efforts
of a group of sailors who blew
up the adjoining houses with gun-
powder, and enabled Samuel Pepya,
the diarist, to watch the fire from
the church tower.
And beneath the pavement of the
centra nave—still open to the skies'
—is the fourteenth -century crypt
and undercroft, There, beside the
crusading altar from Richard Coeur
de Lion's castle in Palestine, burns
the parent light of maintenance
from which are lit all the Toe -H
Immo round the world; for All
Hallows 1s the guild church of the
movement. And there, too, is a
Roma boudoir and a Roman pave-
ment—evidence of the great archae•
()logical value of the site.
At the re -opening ceremony—at
which H. M. Queen Mary was pre-
sent—the Bishop of London con-
ducted the service, after travelling
from Fulham Palace to Tower Pier
by river, a thing that has not
happened since 1949. Only 140
people could get into the recon-
etruoted north aisle, but the service
was relayed to a great marquee in
Trinity Square, where another 1,000
Londoners, among them parishion-
ers of All Hallows by the Tower,
ilsh-porters from Billingsgate, dock-
ers, and members of Toe -H, listened
to the service,

CURE-ALL
After sending a parcel to Euro-
pean relatives, a farm family re-
' ceived a very grateful letter with
this paragraph;
"If you can, please send more of

'What they were until Cousin Lempi
came—she has studied English,

SPORT .
ai Sinn- ►l 1C
In the immortal words of Captain
Gubbins, let a plain statement suf-
fice. For various reasons it is neces-
sary for this column to be written
some days in advance, Furthermore,
while the conductor of same is not
a resident of Toronto, that fair city
might be roughly known as his
spiritual home. (And if the printer
spells that "spirituous" there'll be
trouble.)
* * *
To get on with our tale of woe,
this particular column. was started
immediately after the following un-
toward happenings in the realm of
sport;
* * *
(1) The Toronto Maple Leafs
Baseball Club had been knocked
out of the International League
playoff aeries by—of all people—the
Montreal Royals.
* * *
(2). The Toronto Argonaut Foot-
ball Club had taken, not just a beat-
ing but a real shellacking, at the
hands—and feet --of the hated.Ot-
tawA Rough Riders,
* * *
(3) The Toronto Balmy Beach
Football Club had raised a vast lack
of enthusiasm in the bosoms of their
most ardent supporters by failing
to *core even once while the Wind-
sor Rockets were tallying a jolly 35
points,
*' * *
(4) The best thing of the season
—"just like oil in the can„ or
money ,from home"—was a filly
named "Flying Alice," favorite in
the Grey Stakes at dear old Wood-
bine Park, known to all horse -lovers
as the place where they really run
to form. Breezing homeward well
ht front the young lady suddenly
got the idea that her name was
"Swimming Alice," headed for Lake
Ontario, and pulled up a lovely Last.
* * *
So it is sincerely hoped that the
customers will understand why, to-
day, this column is of necessity
brief and tinged with gloom, Some
genius once said that one picture
is worth a thousand words — so
here's the picture.
The one thing wrong is that the
artist got the name on that tomb-
stone spelled wrong. It should be
"DOUGH" not "DOE,"
EAT UP
One who has lived with a garden
all summer comes now to the time
when a sense Of immediacy begins
to close in. Days shorten, Growth
slackens. The garden is still full and
overflowing with plenty, but one
knows that it may be the last full
crop. The season grows late.
At planting time the season
stretched ahead almost without
limit. The first fruits were precious,
garner from the fertile soil. Mid-
summer brought bounty. Then so
much came at once that there was
a surfeit. But now, with an end in
sight when the frost shall conte
creeping up the valleys, the garden
1a precious again.
Corn is at its -peak, but will the
late corn have time to mature its
ears? Early lettuce bolted in the
heat; will the late lettuce, now be-
ginning to head, snake its way to
the salad bowl? WII the scattered
blossoms on the limas make pods;
or is this present crop to be the
last? And what of the string beans
and the summer squash? What of
the cauliflower—will it, or the
frost, win out?
One picks the pods and the ears,
pulls the carrots and appraises the
beets. One watches the winter
squash, and looks for signs of blight
on the tomato plants, wondering
which of the green tomatoes will
ripen. And the flavor, once the gar-
den comes to the table, is almost
as good as it was when the first
small peas were eaten. The season
that was going to last forever be-
gins to fade; days lie ahead when.
there will be neither pod nor pome
in the garden but only dry stalks
and frosty ground. Eat upl The and
is in sight, with early fall upon us.
HIS ERROR
A bombastic plan met his hen-
pecked friend, whose face suggested
a recent accident.
"How did that happen?" his
friend asked.
"My wife'
"Your wife? Ah, evidently you
have not acquired the secret of
maried bliss. I never have a row
with my wife. I have no secreta
from her,"
"Neither have I!" the other sighed.
"That's the trouble. I only thought
I had!"
ONCE BITTEN
.A lawyer was walking along the
street when he met a friend to whom
he had- recently given some simple
legal advice and to whom he had
sent his usual sizeable bill.
"Niceday, isn't it?" remarked the
friend, and then added hastily;
"But I'm not asking you: I'm tell-
ing you."

FOR OVER tWO centuries, Canada has
been the land of opportunity to
settlers from almost every country
in the world. Much of our strength
and vitality stems from this blending
of racial and cultural heritages.
It is a matter of pride to all
Canadians that so many races,
without sacrificing their national
characteristics, have united them-
selves into one great citizenship --
the Canadian Family. .
Gallant Belgium, whose poppy-
carpeted fields of Flanders hold ten-
der memories for many Canadians,
has sacrificed much in the cause of
freedom. Comprising two distinct
racial groups the Flemings and
the Walloons — she has given many
of her sturdy sons to Canada.
Among them have been many
distinguished figures in Canadian
arts' and sciences. The majority,
however, specialize in' agriculture
and have done much to stimulate
tobacco -growing in Ontario and
Quebec. In the mid -west many have
become successful dairymen,
A devout, thrifty and dependable
people, they have earned the respect
of their fellow -citizens for their con-
tribution to Canada's progress.
