HENSALL LADY. VISITS HOLLAND
AFTER ABSENCE OF 14 YEARS
Mrs. Sim Roobol returned re-
cently froth a lovely three
months' vacation spent with
her family in Oud-Beyerlend,
Holland, after an absence of 14
years, and relates an account
of her trip, and some of the
places visited while there.
Leaving New York on June 9,
she arrived June 18, and enjoy-
ed
njoyed her boat trip on the S.S.
Rotterdam,--having--nothing but
high praise for the wonderful
service given.
Holland, she said, is very
prosperous, no unemployment,
factories and houses being er-
ected all the time; has a popu-
lation of 10 millions, with 13
thousand squares miles; very
few own refrigerators and elec-
trical equipment like we have
in Canada; mostly gas stoves
are used.
Amsterdam is the capital of
Holland, and the oldest church
there was built in 1306. In Leeu-
warden, capital of Friesland,
they have more cattle than peo-
ple, and their cattle market ev-
ery Friday is very famous. She
visited the military cemetery
at Oosterbeek in the Province
of Gelderland, burial ground
for the soldiers fallen in the
battle of Arnheim, Sept., 1944.
St. John's Church in Gouda is
very famous for its fine stained
glass windows, which is visited
by thousands of tourists from
all over the world. Rotterdam
is the chief port and trading
centre of Holland. The man -
dug harbors have an extension
of 1,500 acres.
There are still 12,000 wind-
mills left in Holland, she said,
which are still in use for grind-
ing grain and pumping water,
The roses were in full bloom
when she was there and said
they were a sight to behold. In
Alm -leer' they have more hot-
houses than homes; flowers are
sold by auction. It used to be a
great lake, but was pumped dry
100 years ago and is now call-
ed the Village of the Flowers.
Her first Sunday in her home
town of Oud-Beyerlend, Hol-
land, she attended her own
church, and sat in her own
pew. This church was built in
1604 and the • .organ • installed
in 1823. The minister's text
Insurance - Real Estate
W.C.OKE
was: "And they landed safely,"
Acts 28-4.
She enjoyed meeting with her
father, who is in very poor
health, and with her brothers
and sisters. It was a very hap-
py reunion and one long to be
remembered.
On the return trip to Can-
ada on the S.S. Ryndam, which
landed at Montreal, 73 per cent
of the passengers were seasick.
