Clinton one of the officers on the phone gave tiS a hearing. We would not ger through the lines now as the Queen had commenced her inspec- tion. However, from a high tower in the yards one could climb 150 steps and watch her yacht as it made its way around the lines. As AP AfterthQUgh he told us a mail boat was going up among the fleet after the inspection and ac- credited press representatives would be allowed a pass. Losing no time ,in securing this we made for the tower slowly and reached the top in time to see the trim white yacht making a turn to come back the inside lines. Having time for a coffee I left HK$ Verner, and found not only a coffee shop but also a fish and chip shop. Hunger will never kill if one can find plenty of well - cooked fish and chips. Warned to be on time, as the mail tenders were known to leave early, 1 was on board before the mail and when 1 saw bags labelled "HMCS Magnificent" I knew 1 had chosen the right mail boat among the five leaving. Once out into the harbor we met a headwind and our little craft, a rebuilt mine sweeper-, took into the waves instead of over them. I was loaned an on slicker by one of the crew. Soon we ap- proached the first ship in the line to which we passed mail bags and received putgoing mail in 'return. Even the Registers were signed for. However, this was the last craft to which we could hand mail. The others were too large or had rows of lights strung around them which prevented our boat from coming alongside. The navy craft sent out motor -driven boats man - fled by four men, to take off the mail. At the Illustrious we put off with their mail that of the Canad- ian ships. The small boat which came out rolled and tossed on the waves and when it got to the mother ship it was necessary to climb a long set of stairs hung on the side with ropes. Which rather discouraged our endeavoring to make the trip. I know from later reports I really missed a very so- ciable evening, but those on board there also missed seeing many of the craft among which our little mail boat made its calls. We passed close by the Quebec, also the Ontario, both of which made a Canadian proud of his part in the show, especially when the sailors of the little mine -sweeper mail boat went out of their way to complimbrit these ships. They were outlined in electric lights which were lighted simultaneously with all the others on a green signal at 10,30 p.m. Italian Nailing Training Snip One sight which is almost a thing of the past was the Italian sailing craft Americo Vespuceio, a completely rigged sailing craft. Just as we circled past her the sun, which had been clouded, broke through and set her out in a sea of light, dark and tan. In color she was something most of us have seen only in pictures. When the Queen passed her, the sailors were en the rigging and on the yard arms to take their duty salute. This alone was worth braving the weather to see. • Russian Cruiser Sverdlov We passed just under the bow of the Russian cruiser. This was one of the most businesslike ves- sels of her class in the whole show. Builtsomewhat after the style of a trim racing or pleasure craft, yet long and heavy enough to be a formidable fighting vessel, she had the appearance that if speed were needed, she had it, and if guns were the answer there were plenty available. Later, at 9 p.m., when colors were taken down, we heard both them and a French cruiser across the line first play their National Anthem, then "God Save the Queen," while the whole ships' companies, including our little crew, stood to attention, Between the mast of Russia's cruiser was hung a large star made up of lights, as well as lights to outline the whole MM. We longed to see this lighted from close range, and as though our mind could be read, suddenly they all glowed in light with red outlin- ing the huge star hanging in the air between the masts. Eor only part of a minute, presumed to be a test, these shone in front of us but it was a splendid sight to have seen so closely. When we made our last call the Captain enquired if we wished to be put on board the Magnificent but we decided to see the rest of the show from a hill -top on shore. Fireworks and Lighting Display At 10.30, on a signal given by firing a sky rocket, showers of fireworks were sent up from all the ships. Also, the display of lighting was switched on. From a point on the shore, to which I had driven after returning on the mail boat, I saw a most -thrilling dis- play. Vessels - big and little - took part and each broadcast was bet- ter than the previous one. Crowds lined every vantage ..r." .4^ Fis and Alm, J. E.

Officers Wives Play •Bingo at J'une Meeting A short business meeting of the members ef the Officers' Wives Auxiliary, last Tuesday evening, was followed by an evening of bingo. Winners were Mrs. C. J. Irwin, IVIrs. 0. Warner, Mrs. 3. W. Jolley, Mrs. J. G. Brown, Mrs. N, K. Young, Mrs. R. R. sly, Mrs. G. J. Bury, Mrs, B. Miller. Conveners for the refreshments that evening were Mrs. J.

Seven GORC Units Operate Across Canada Seven RCAF Ground Observer Corps Filter Units now are offic- ially in operation on a 24-hour basis across Canada. Headed by Wing Commander W. J. Wiseman, Ottawa, the GOBC opened their last centre at North Bay, on June 30. These units already backed by more than 2,200 observation posts manned by more than 13,200 civil- ian volunteers from coast to coast, will back up the RCAF' e radar early warning system and the in- terceptor squadrons. The RCAF organization ties in with a sim- ilar system now in operation in the United States. Although the GOBC is now on an official operational footing the organization has been operating in nearly all areas in the northland beyond 55 degrees north latitude since 1950. There are more than 300 observation posts now working in the north where nearly every citizen is a member of the GOBC. As well as assisting the radar network, which is the backbone of Canada's aerial defence, the GOBC serves other useful pur- poses including assistance to friendly aircraft in distress, point and it would be safe to say that the number of people who saw this show would be half as many as watched the Coronation Parade. The value of the floating craft taking part was beyond estimation Canada alone had two aircraft carriers -the Sydney and the Mag- nificent, Cruisers Quebec and On- tario, Destroyers HMCS Sioux, and Frigates La Hulloise and Swansea, U.S.A. heavy cruiser Baltimore. Besides Canada 15 other countries were included on the list, Besideg the naval craft of many nations there were hundreds of privately - owned yachts, oceangoing cruisers and ocean liners. Every type of pleasure boat, ferry and fishing vessel.was doing a land-office business taking sight- seers up the lines pf anchored naval vessels. One such ferry, which passed us, similar to the huge Toronto Island ferries, was packed so that not a foot of space could be seen on the decks. The marvellous part of the show was that there were no accidents on the water. We had read where some mishaps to motorists on the roads on the way home from the Coronation caused loss of life. One of the sails on the mine- sweeper 1801 on which we were a passenger, has , an uncle in the Niagara district by the name of John Carter. Perhaps one of the papers in which this story will appear will reach him. His nephew Ernie sends him greetings. We desire to compliment the of- ficers of Her Majesty's Navy on the generous courtesy shown to us in every way. They went to end less trouble to see that every as- sistance was given to us so that we could see arid learn as much as possible. Hello'Homemakersi Like mother like daughter -se, we continue to put down sealers of fruit and odd - sized Jars of Jain 'and jellies. Isn't there a glowing pride of satisfac- tion with cupboards stocked with your own homemade fruitS. Now be a careful canner. To be a homemaker who prides herself on not having failures, you have to follow the rules carefully. Like- wise good canning demands good - quality jars and new caps or rub- ber rings. Then, be a gopd nurse when it comes to thorough clean- liness of equipment and steriliza- tion of jars, funnels and spoons. As for the foods you store ern- PhasiS lutist be put on freshness and flavor, for there is no more flavonin a jar of canned fruit than was in the fruit originally. We re- commend the boiling -water -bath method as the most satisfactory for fruit which was mother's meth- od. You can buy a water. bath can- ner or improvise one from any kettle, deep enough to cover the jars with an inch of water. Heat the water to boiling while the hot syrup is being poured Over After lowering jars carefully jilt° kettle begin to count the proces- sing time when the water boils again. Remove jars immediately at end of cooking time. Leave right side up to cool. T4 -KE A TM 1. For canning fruit sweeten with a syrup made by boiling meas- ured quantities of sugar and water for 1 minute. 2.One cup of sugar and 2 cups water makes 2 cups thin syrup Which is ideal for small .sweet fruits. One cup of sugar and 1 . cup water makes 2 cups medium syrup which should be used for tart or large fruit. 3. Allow 1 to 1,/c cups of syrup for each quart jar of small fruit; 1% to 2 cups for each quart large fruit. 4. Precook large fruits in syrup before processing. The scalding helps to store more servings in a jar and ensures quick .process- ing. However, raspberries and other soft berries may be packed raw, then covered with hot syrup before processing. 5. Be sure to leave one-quarter to • AUBURN. (Continued from Page 6). Guelph July 6-14 were read. Mrs. R. 3.

Silver Wedding Day Mr. and Mrs, Bert Craig cele- brated their 25th , wedding anni- versary at the home of their son- in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs, Len. Archambault on Saturday. A delicious dinner was served at seven o'clock when 35 immediate relatives sat down. The dinner was served by the nieces. The din- ing room was decorated with pink and white streamers, white bells and baskets of pink Peonies. The table was centred by a three-tier wedding cake and vases of flowers. George McNall, Blyth, was mas- ter of ceremonies, and proposed a toast to the Queen. A toast to the bride and groom was proposed by Ralph Williams, Detroit. Mrs. Craig was formerly Chris- tine (Ena) McNeil, daughter of Mrs.,Janet McNeil and the late George McNeil, Blyth, Mr. Craig is the son of Mrs. William Craig and the late William Craig, Blyth.

THE Calvert SPORTS COLUMN ef &met 700,4400 the tennis stars, Tilden was a flamboyant, swaggering figure in sport's Big Six of the Golden Era of sport, the Roaring Twenties. .Jack Dempsey, Bobby Jones, Babe Ruth, Red Grange, Walter Hagen and Tilden were figures such as are never likely to grace the spcirt scene again, certainly not at one time. ' And none was a greater showman than Tilden. Even in the most important ,circumstances he could not overcome an obsession that ruled him, a desire to see if he could give the other fellow a handicap and still beat him. Perhaps the most conspicuous instance in, which _this sheer gamble came to the surface was when Tilden was wplaying a Davis Cup ,match with the Japanese team member Shimidzu- a fine player ,too. Tilden, apparently through deliberate design, in the opinioe of experts who saw the inateh, allowed "Shimmy" to wilt the first two sets and to get within match point of the third set before turning on the heat. Then he began firing in cannonading fashion, and "Shim- my" lost that third set and the next two as well, suffering defeat in a match that had seemed already won. The set scores were 4-6, 1-5, 6-2, 6-1. Tilden did the same thing in another Davis Cup rnatch, but this time it was done in a fit of pique. That was in 1923 and the Australian team was the challenging group. The matches were played at Forest Hills. John B. Hawkes and James 0. Anderson were the Aust- ralian aces. In a singles match, after winning the first set, Tilden made a splendid play in the second set. His return went close to the base line. The linesman called it "in." This point won him the set. The crowd booed the linesman's decision. That irked the sensitive Tilden. But his anger took a peculiar twist. Instead of turning in and endeavoring to beat the Australian quickly, he deliberately threw the next set to his opponent, 6-1. It was his way of responding to the crowd's booing. He deliberat- ely handicapped himself in order to show his contempt for • the crowd and perhaps for his opponent. Then he cut loose. He poured in everything be had. He won the, fourth set and the match in decisive fashion. A great showman, a tremendous tennis player, he made Americ,a, tennis -conscious in the '20's, when the game was far less popular than now,. That he could command attention in such an era, when sportdom was populated by giants, speaks highly of his qualities.
