The Land of the Windmills
A tree shaded canal follows i’
main street of the town its whole
length, houses and shops looking
out on it from both sides. Rising
higher than all the buildings are
huge windmills, just like the pic
tures we are accustomed to seeing,
except 'that they are much j“
The arms seem to be about thirty
feet long and when they turn, are
quite terrifying to behold.
Out in the country again, we find
ourselves crossing a network of can
als over the dykes. -On either side
we see flowers plantations and fields
rich in. grain. In all that region
there is not a single hill. The trees
are mostly
branches cut off till they ' look like
giant feather
been planted
by the side of the road or along the
waterways. We a-re told that Na
poleon had these set out in this man
ner so that he .might be able to
stand up on a high place miles and
miles away and know the exact po
sition of his soldiers. Now you tell
one!
At the end of a half-hour’s drive,
we stand for -the second time that
morning on the edge of the North
Sea. To the left lies nothing but
ocean; -to the right, across the river
Scheldt, rises the island of Wal-
cheron which is made up of silt de
posit from the rivers of the count
ry together with land reclaimed from
the sea.
- Very Old Holland
The red roofs- of 'the ancient city
of Flushing at the tip of the island
seem quite near, but it taik.es*us 20
minutes by’ferry to cross over. In
the harbour on the other side lie
tons and tons of shipping, small
boats with white sails, fishing
schooners with colored sails. On the
wharf, the old fishermen stand about
in their royal blue shjrtis, dark blue
baggy trousers- and wooden shoes.
On their heads 'they wear a peculiar
kind of peaked cap, banded tight
around the cnown. The hair of most
grows down over the ears and then
is cut off straight. (Dutch cut, of
course). A yellow pipe is nearly
always clenched between the teeth.
We cross the island to Veere, the
"artist’s paradise”. Well it may be.
It is a quiet old retreat where life
goes on just the same as it did in
the Middle Ages when the tiown grew
up along the canal. The homes
are very, very narrow and extreme
ly big'h. ’ On ithe wharfiside, chil
dren play, clacking their little wood
en shoes on the Cobbles and dog
carts pass down the centre of the
street delivering milk.
Capital of Zeeland
To Middleburg, one of the oldest
cities in Holland, we drive for lunch
(There in a restaurant off the fam
ous marketplace, we pay eight cents
for* -a drink of water, but let’s for
get that swindle and go and have a
look at the town.' We see the clock
bower, 215 feet high, drive around
by a beautiful .park with swans on an
artifical lake, and finally end up in
the shops- looking at
Dutch Silver.
The women we meet on the street
are dressed in heavy
black material. The Zeeland head
dress is most formidable-looking—
they seem first to have combed their
hair up in a high piompadour in front
and then built around that a tight-
fitting cap or white linen ornament
ed at the sides with big rounds of
imitation gold.
Back to Flushing we go for a last
look at its scrubbed, toy houses and
gorgeous flower gardens before
crossing over to the mainland once
more. This time at -Sluis,,. we turn
south into Belgium towards Brus
sels and enter the medival town of
Bruges. With only half an hour at
our command we decide to miss see
ing the beautiful cathedral and go
down the street of the lace-makers.
The shops there extend right out on
the sidewalk so that if you must
progress, you have to stick to the
middle of the road. The lace work
ers sit and ply their needles in the
open air while tlio proprietors stand
by -and gesticulate, persuading you
in French and Flemish (the two of-
fical languages of Belgium) that
their lace is the genuine article.
Through Flanders’ Fields
The poppies still grow in Flanders
fiolds scattered through the acres of
wheat. It is a strangely beautiful
country, that. Canals cut across the
northern part of it, wide oneis, bor
dering with willows and poplars. The
houses are white, built in the high,
narrow style with filed roofs. They
make a lovely picture backed by
those slim, blue-green trees. Farther
south in Flanders, the land is more
rolling and wooded.

beautiful and interesting cities we

SAVE MONEY by buying a new Chevrolet now? Yes . . .
and in five different ways!
First: Chevrolet offers the lowest prices in Canada. It costs
less to own this car from the very outset.
Second: Time-payment prices are lower now than ever—
thanks to new, low GM AC rates.
Third: We can allow more in trade for your present car
—because we have a waiting market for good used automobiles.
Fourth: Your new Chevrolet will cost you less to run than
any other car. Less for gasoline—less for upkeep—as long as
you drive it!
Fifth: Chevrolet offers you the five most-talked-about
features of the year. You get more for your money in a 1934
Chevrolet!
And think of the time, trouble and worry you’ll save —
driving a new, safe car with new tires, new brakes, new battery,
safety glass, dead-true steering and lots of “pick-up”!
