Among the guests, at the Royal while we were there was Chief Tito- asabusa Winyi IV, chief of the 100 000 people of Bunyoro-Kit- ari-Uganda. Bristol is one of the most his- toric and interesting cities in Eng- land, althpugh it suffered More than most places during the war. tfere John Wesley built his first chapel and founded the Methodist. Church; Wordsworth . wrote his first :poem; and from here John Cabot sailed to discover the main- land of America, and many other equally notable things are part of Bristol's history. It was the birth- place of Robert Southey. Among the unique things at Bris- tol As 'Christmas street, a steep street, partly stairs, which was op- ened in 1669 and is apparently un- changed since then. Another ancient landmark is the Norman gate which stands near Bristol Cathedral. Bristol is one of the municipal ports of England only six miles from the sea, and the way in which come ships p up almost into the centre of the city is most astonish- ing. When we were there two Swedish warships, the Stockholm and the Norrkoping, were paying a courtesy visit to Bristol and gave the astonishing appearance of be- ing moored in the middle of the street. Bristol's real gem of architec- ture is St. Mary Redcliffe Church, which Queen Elizabeth declared was the fairest, goodliest and most famous parish church in all Eng- land. Although many buildings around it were destroyed by bombs St. Mary Redcliffe escaped serious injury, although marked by flying fragments. Another church, famous for its leaning tower, Temple 'Church, was completely destroyed leaving the leaning tower still standing and still leaning three feet nine inches out of perpendicular. it was only recently discovered that vandals have deliberately hacked to pieces many .stone and marble memorials which emerged undamaged from the destruction wrought at Temple Church by the German air raiders. To get at them the vandals had to batter down stout iron bars and wire netting. - - • There are many of the most at- tractive spots easily reached from Bristol. One of these is Wells, an ancient cathedral city. Wells Cath- edral is one of the finest in Eng- land famous for many unusual fea- tures. Its history goes hack 1220 years when a church was built by the wells which still flow and fill the moat around the bishop's pal- ace. Parts of the present church were built before 1191 and the won- derful west front with its rows of statues was built between 1206 and 1242. In the church is one of the old- est and most unusual clocks in the world dating from 1392, As each hour approaches crowds of visitors gather to watch, for on the strik- ing -of the hour when knights on horseback revolve in opposite di- rections, representing a tourna- mant, while a figure known as Jack Blandifer, seated some distance from the clock, strikes his heels against bells, and on the outside of the wails, two knights in armour strike with battle axes on bells. The stone vaulting and carving both inside and out at Wells Cath- edral is beyond description. The Bishop's Palace grounds are surrounded by a high wall, outside of which is a moat in the water of which are many swans and ducks. The swans have been trained to ring a bell whenever they arethun- gry. Near the Cathedral is a fam- ous old street known as the Bish- op's Close, one of the oldest and prettiest streets in England. About five miles from Wells lies. Glastonbury Abbey which now in ruins draws thousands of visitors from all parts of the English-speak- ing world. It is the legendary Isle of Arimathea wandered into Boni- erset and one Christmas morning reached the Isle of Avalon. ;Phe saint stuck his staff into the ground whereupon it sprouted and Cow- ered and the brethren accepted this as a sign that their wander- ings were over and they erected a small Wattle church on the site. St. Patrick is believed to have vis- ited it on several occasions. It is the Avalon of Tennyson's poem of the de.atlf -of King Arthur and in the Abbey ruins is marked the reputed burial place of King Arthur and .Ills wife, ,Guiniver. The body of King Arthur was discover- ed and buried before the High Al- tar of Henry iI and it is recorded that the relics were visited by Ed- ward I and Eleanor in 1276. Glastonbury Abbey at -one time was one of the largest, finest and most reverated in England, but it has fallen into ruins which still retain some measure of majesty. About a mile away is the Blood Spring or Chalice Well under the waters of which, according to leg- end, Joseph of Arimathea hid the Holy Grail, or Chalice of the Last Supper, whereupon the waters gushed forth red. It is reasonably certain to believe that the first Christian baptism in England took /place here. The masonry is believ- ed to be of Drtildic origin, The spring is chalybeate and its output A.M. 5.40 6.20 7.16 P.M. 3.00 3.46 4.40 A,M 10.45 11.36 12.20 P.M 9.85 10.21 12.00 Itt ;built kY Abh0( SelWoed in'the ,fifteenth; ,celttury;:`'04th a,:t0OU{rit- ,ably Iraneiled front; the .Aibh0. )a'rn, a cruciform ' building, 9a feet lortg with etas V!e •wall8;41Oti g' from ,the fourteenth ceni1r7l; !the.

In it are " the colors of the 128th 'Canadian Battalion of Moose Jaw. The original colors were• deposited on March 11, 1917, but were later taken back to Can- ada and duplicates were .substitut- ed. in the Cathedral, Bristol :Cathedral does not pres- ent the appearanceof aniiguity that many `others ,possess, but this does not detract in the least from its dignity and impressiveness. However, the Elder Lady Chapel dates from about 1230, much of it to the fourteenth century and the mauve and western towers are modern but designed to harmonize perfectly with the whole. The archi- tecture includes Norman, Early English, Decorated and perpendicu- lar, some of it being of unrivalled beauty. From 'Bristol we made our way by stages back to Liverpool where we had a few hours (before board- ing the Ascania for home. The Ger- mans did their best to destroy Liverpool but without success, al- though there are still numerous signs of the damage they accomp- lished. Fortunately they did not damage either of the Cathedrals for there are two, an Anglican and a Roman Catholic, both under construction. larg- est The Anglican one will be the a gi g es,t in England when completed. Strange to say the architect for the Anglican cathedral is a Roman Catholic and the architect for the R.C. cathedral is an Anglican, ac- cording to the reports. TRIBUTE • FROM A SICK BED Hospitals are gracious places, Deep and broad their ministry; Dedicated are their spaces, Serving all humanity; Science here in fullest measure Wears her crown with humblest pride; Here - where Duty mates with Pleasure - Born is Learning sanctified.

Meticulous through all their days, Noblest ends they need to please; Rewarded most in keeping ways, Patterned by Hippocrates. Here are shining bands of nurses, Clad in vestal robes of white, Who, dispensing many mercies, Banish gloom with gentle light; Soft their step and swift their handing, Speeding all their tasking on; Loving Labor's whole demanding, So be Duty gladly done! And here are those whose many aids Do their work behind the scene: The aides and clerks and cooks and maids, Engineers and all who clean. For winter, summer, all the year, These are they whose humbler role Keeps all the higher workings clear - Each with each a perfect whole. Come, then, see this pleasant build- ing- Rich in life's vitalfty- Every day is staff dispensing, Highest hospitality! Seek the source of all this healing? By so many lives desired? Search -and find the truth reveal- ing; It is surely Christ -inspired! From the mansion of the wealthy. From the cottage of the poor, Hosts of ill who would 'be healthy, Storm the hostel's open door! ,Strong men, hurt without a warn- ing, Sick ones, trysting long with pain, All for help and mending yearning, Pleading to be whole again. • What is asked on their admittance, From these teeming crowds of 111? Here is truest charge of entrance: Hope and faith in master skill!

For that reason the flock should be made up of individuals •in which the .possibility of this occurring is kept at a minini"um. In addition, ewes that are culled in :.the fall can be marketed at a fair price and many of these ewes because of age or infirmity would not be able to stand the strain of pregnancy and their death would therefore re- present a direct monetary Ioss• as well as the loss of a winter' feed.•. In culling the ,flock each fall two main factors must be taken. into consideration, says S. 13. Williams, 'Animal Husbandry Division, Cen- tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Will the individual satisfactorily raise a lamb or lambs; is she of such a type to maintain or improve the standard of the flock? Ewes to be retained in the flock must be healthy and have a full mouth. Broken mouthed ewes will not do well when on dry winter feed. The udder should also be inspected and ewes showing any unsoundness should be disposed of. Too much attention should not be paid to condition, since often the thinner ewes have raised a pair of lambs some of Chose carrying ample flesh may not have nursed. Adequate records of each ewe should have been kept and those ewes whose lambs have not done well, because of an insufficient milk supply, should be marked for the block. When the ewes in these tate-• gories have been removed, the flock should be inspected again and all animals not up to standard for conformation, fleece or breed type should be removed. All ewes culled should have their places taken in the flock by high quality yearlings saved from the previous year for flock replace- ments. If a program such as has been described is followed annually, a flock of active, hardy, high-produc- 'ug ewes will be assured. Grain Crop Production The second' estimates of produc- tion of the principal 'Canadian grain crops for 1948, issued Sept. 14, by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, are in general higher than the estimates released on August 17. Exceptionally good ma- turing and harvesting weather pre- vailed quite generally throughout August and accounts largely 1. the enhanced production prospects. The wheat estimate :has been ad- vanced 19 million bushels over that of mid-August to 391 million bushels. Oat production is now estimated at 361.7 million bushels, barley at 157.1 million, rye at 26.6 million and flax seed at 17.7 mil- lion .bushels. As this estimate is based on con- ditions existing on August 31, be- fore completion of harvest, it is more in the nature of a forecast, and may still be subject to signifi- cant revisions in later estimates.

THE MIXING BOWL By ANNE ALLAN Hydro Home Economist Hello Homemakers! Homes wir- ed for electricity have an average of 66 outlets and switches. When we asked the manager of a local Public Utilities Commission about conservation, we were amazed to discover that the amount of elec- tricity used in homes in this par- ticular community, is comparable to the amount used by industries. As a matter of fact, our homemak- rs exercise control over about 35 per cent of the electricity used in Ontario. So we can say that the homemaker "engineers" the man- agement of much electricity. Unfortunately, however, there are no check charts to indicate the number of times she turns on the hot water tap and makes the water heater switch on. In the rural area this also forces the pump to oper- ate and therefore two electric switches are operated by turning a tap -sometimes unnecessarily. There are women who own a modern electric range but 'do not operate it wisely-. For instance, they roast a piece of meat in the oven, boil potatoes on one surface element, carrots on another, make a sauce on the third and a pudding on the fourth. With forethought and the use of ovenware dishes, all the above foods may be cooked in the electric oven using one ele- ment only. Like many other household du- ties, we should plan the manage- ment of electric switches. Women who prevent waste of electricity will be rewarded, for this will mean there will be sufficient power to operate industrial and farm ma- chinery--such a- chinery such equipment provides the husband's earnings, and the in- necessities for the home. 12.
