A Woman's Viewpoint on This and That
By MBA
THE nicest thing about a vaca-
tion is returning home with re-
newed energy to face one's many
daily chores and artiyities .
We did have a grand holiday,
eedause as you know, the rail-
' ways started functioning again,
although too late for the CWNA
convention"; which was scheduled
for St,. Andrews, N.B., but was
postponed until October at Que-
bec City, and which we will not
be attending : , . However, we
did have a previewof the con-
vention setting, for after several
stop -overs, we spent three pleas-
ant days at Quebec ,
OUR first stop was at Toronto
to attend "Piress D!ay' at the
Exhibition . , , Along with sev-
eral hundred women of the press
and radio, we were present at
the ladies' luncheon, presided
over in a charming informal
manner by Mrs. Kate Aiken . .
At the press building, it was like
a miniature convention, with,
members of the weekly press from
all parts of the country dropping
in at various times . .

TAKING the CNR night train
to Ottawa- we spent a happy Lab-
or Day weekend, there with some
former Barrie friends, who are
now residents in the Capital
city . And, they, along with
L, E. Cardiff, saw to it that we
did not miss anything, of interest
This included attendance at
the Ottawa -Hamilton football
game—which was really some-
thing for someone who has seen
nothing above the intercollegiate
class of rugby . As guests of
Elston Cardiff, MP for North
Huron, we were present for sev-
eral hours at the Labor Day ses-
sion of parliament and had lunch
in the Members' dining room
The latter is a beautifully -ap-
pointed room with large win-
dows, from which you obtain a
magnificent view of the Ottawa
River and the Gatineau Hills

The'parligmentaiy debate was on
the Speech from the Throne and
during the several hours we were
there, we heard only, one front
bencher and he was of the op-
position -John Diefenbaker, who
made a masterly plead for rule
by parliament as opposed to rule
by the Cabinet . . , We listened
to two speeches in French—one
of which was by one of the few
isolationist independents in par-
liament = but he didn't make
sense in Mris day, and age ... In
order to catch our train we mis-
sed hearing the , Hon. Lester
Pearson, who, from the account
we read in Hansard, made one of
his finest speeches . . ,

WE continued on to Montreal
for a day and a half Here
we rested mostly , . , One amus-
ing incident Was when we went
to a sea -food restaurant for a
broiled lobster dinner . Be-
fore bringing us the lobster, the
Waiter appeared with large white
coverall aprons, which he tied,
around our necks . , It all
seemed sort of silly to us, until
we started into the lobster and
then we understood why — they
are rather difficult to eat ,
TRAVELLING CPR to Quebec,
we experienced . one of the
fastest and smoothest train rides
we ever had — 180 miles in
four hours, and when you
consider one half hour was
spent getting out of suburban
Montreal and there was a ten-
minute stop at Three Rivers, the
train really travelled in the open
country .

QUEBEC City, with its quaint
old world charm in Lower Town
and in the neighbourhood of the
Citadel, and the CPR's luxury
hotel,' the Chateau Frontenac —
attracts more United States tour-
ists than any other single place
in Canada , . , The city was
simply swarming with them .
We took a conducted bus tour
around the Island of Orleans,
where French-Canadian rural
life is seen at its best, and in a
full bus load, there were two
from Montreal, and ourselves
from Canada There were a
couple from South Africa and a
woman from Czecho-Slovakia and
the others, all Americans, from
about ten different states , ,
.e KO
WE did a lot of wandering.
around on.foot through the `Garin
quarters and Laval. University
area and, in Lower Town where
some of the streets are so nar-
row, we would not even call
them lanes in this part of the
country end if sidewalks exist.
they are so narrow, you travel in
single file , . . Many of the
buildings are several hundred
years old—and Many in sur-
prisingly good condition . , ,
a * a
AND during our three-day
visit, We were entertained most
pleasantly by the CPR public
relations representative in Que-
bec, Lt. -Col, Jean Marchand, and
his very charming wife, at din-
ner at the Garrison Club, a pri-
vate club, which is housed in a
large and attractive old stone
building .r. .
WE read numerous French
language newspapers both in
Montreal and Quebec and even
attended the Cinema de Paris
in Quebec where we saw two
films made in France , . , We
found that reading the newspap-
ers was not so bad and in short
order we were reading almost
as rapidly as in English, but with
the spoken French, it was much
more difficult and it took some
time to attune our ears to get
even a smattering of what was
being said in order to follow the
plot of the story . . . However,
we never did have too much
experience in spoken French—so
needless to say the only times we
uttered a French word was to
ask the simplest. directions , ,

ings for a few boys in the troop

tion in gymnastics and boxing.
While the troop is currently
well supplied with leaders, the
deplorable lack of local adult
interest is a cause for real con-
cern. ,
on -cern., The Scout Troop cannot
hope to foster any feeling of
continuity if it continues to de-
pend on transient leadership.
The present leaders feel that
their work will, to a large de-
gree, be lost unless local men
can be convinced of the im-
portance of this organization.
While previous experience in
Scouting is desirable, - any man
with a real interest in boys' work
will be welcomed.
