My trip to Holland, Michigan to
the tulip festival was a lovely sight
to behold. We left Detroit at 6
I o'clock in the morning on May 25th
and arrived: in Holland about 10.30
a.m, The day waa perfect and the
drive a p3easant one as nature look
ed ifs hest, Everywhere one looked
the trees were covered with Noe -
1 somas and the cattle and sheep graz-
ing in the fle1de looked so contented.
'Holland is a very pretty city and
theeo lei are
p p very courteous and
I friendly. There are 38 churches
' there and 'they are building two
more as they are very religious. In
fact, the religious seine of ,the
Dutchman today is amt. thee. Sun-
day Di:oration of the tulip time
is, frowned upon and, very 'few oos-
eumee ere to be seen on ISunday. 1
And no stores or res'tauran'ts are
lett open; Soe pregnant was this
community' with the folklore of the
Dutch that wooden shoes, white lace
caps, bulging and baggy pantaloons
emerged to adorn the Hollanders.
The streets of Holland Offer a
vista o8 color with several ani',lion•I
tulips planted .two deep along both
curbs. The tulip lanes are laid
out in a clearly marked circuit
which bordered several parks. 341y
eight -mile ride down "Tulip Lane"
was one of thrilling beauty never to
be forgotten. Over 500 varieties of
tulips are grown on the farms at
Holland( The farms lie Just behind
the sand' domes, of Lake Michigan
Just north of the city and: here you
see acres and, acres o1 tulips' every
color and size and it is a gorgeous
sight.

heads; namely; tulpis, costumes

21 ,bands 1n, the processiee and the
music was grand.
I saw them make the wooden
shoed out of poplar wood, which
was interesting. And the clip -clap
of the children's .deet (in their
wooden shoes) and the older ones
as well, proved to me as glorious' as
the miles, of t'aidp bloom.
There were 50,000 people in Hol-

Dear .Sir:
Having been present et the
annual I.0.03', Decoration Service
at ,the Brussels cemetery 011 Sun-
day afternoon I feel that something
should' be said about he attitude
some people take toward this; ser-
vice, or at leash what one would
judge was ,their attitude by their
behaviour, I em not streeting o1 the
way children are allowed to play
about during the service, though
this might well becurbed by their
parents, but I asn referring to the
behaviour o1 adults who ought to,
and who do know better, if they
would only slop to think about it
, During the entire service instead
of gaherin;g as closely as, poalslble
alboutb the place where It was being
conducted small groups stood only a
few' feat away talking and laughing,
,their aonveirse,tions' drowning out
the voices of various speakers.
I ant eure these people were not
ware of ,the annoyance they were
causing ;the speakers and those who
were deeply entreated in and wished
to hear the service. Oat -door ser-
vices are always, difficult but on
Sionday If those congregad'ed 'bad
gatheted together anal ethed, guieltlly
the splendid address by Mr. Cooke
could have been 'd8sltinetly heard by
all.
