LF1AVING CLINTON ON THE
,afernoon GNR train, we were over-
night from r,Poronte to Ottawa, ar-
riving there more than an hour late
as our train had to stand by en route.
to let President 'Truman's special
through . But it wasn't so bad
after all as W. C. A.ylesworth, Wat-
ford, tbe Division president, was an
the sate train• and was forced to
give hie address suet at the 'close al
the morning convention session in-
stead of et the opening.

LUNCHEON' IN THE QUDBEC
suite of the hotel was a happy affair,
with Ile E. B. Eddy Paper Company,
Limited, as hosts, and the speaker,
John Allan. 'practical farmer and
author of "The Scene from Shing-
•wank 'arm," published at Brace -
Midge ... He spoke moat enteetain-
ingly . A civic welcome was ex-
tended by Mayor ,Stanley Lewis of
Ottawa.
SPEAKING OF ENTERTAINMENT,
the people at our table 'got a little
unscheduled amusement •out of a
young lad at the convention, Bill
Bond, son of Cecil EI. Bond, publisher
of The New Lisleeard Speaker
We asked hila if he worked with his
farther as a printer's devil, and he
came right back with the answer
that he was no inter's devil but
could qualify as
'pr
devil •of a print-
er. . . Another crack he made was
that Emily Post, farted authority on
etiquette, should be there to check up
on the newspapermen's table man-
ners—ar lack of them . It was
all in good flan, and the young ,nen
should make a good newspaperman
some day.
OF COURSE, THE HIGHLLG:EIT OF
bhe afternoon—and pr^abably of the
entire convention — was a visit to
Goverment )rouse where the entire
group were received by. Viscount and
Lady Alexander of Tunis in the Bali
R'oem They proved a very
charming and interesting couple . .
After buffet refreshments had bean
served, Their Excellencies conducted
td
the delegates on a tour of the
beau:Urfa grounds — an extremely
great ,pleasure . We .saw the
trees planted the day previously by
President and Mrs. Truman as a
nnamento of their visit . Scarlet
coated "monmties" were on duty, and
n
the Governor-Ges ai s standard was
flying from the :flag pole of the
palatial mansion ... It was all very
nice, indeed.

THE ASSOCIATION DINNER IN
