They were of a lower grade than the RCAF Station at Grand Bend. Detested the smell of “Kip­ pers” at Scottish hotels in the morning. Enjoyed meals and accomoda­ tion at a tourist price of about one-half that paid by natives. Found Aberdeen one of the most beautiful and cleanest cities in the world.

All churches areas were hidden by Big Strawberries Ate strawberries the size of snow apples at a formal dinner in Exeter. Found the black market in currency running wild in Paris. Saw the oldest stadium in tlie world at Verona, Italy, home of Romeo and Juliet. Enjoyed Venice canals at night but was staggered by the smell of them in daytime. Found Italy “dirty” and Swit­ zerland “immaculately clean”. Saw ladies scrubbing the side­ walks in Switzerland. Found young people in all countries eager to hear about, and come to, Canada.

Under this sys­ tem a number is given to every 20 feet of measurement on every street in town. The numbering starts at the middle of the bridge for North and South and Main Street is the dividing line for‘the East and West numbering. On all streets, consecutive numbers are opposite and corner numbers across town are all the same. All parallel streets have the same numbers in a straight line and anyone looking for any numbers in a' straight line and anyone looking for any numbers in town can easily find it once they have found the same number on any i parallel street. Standard System “This system is now the stan­ dard of many Canadian munici­ palities. t Its main advantage, be­ sides making it easy to find any building, is that no matter what expansion takes place in the municipality in the future, whe­ ther it be from hew subdivisions inside the present limits or from annexation, the numbering plan merely carries on and every build­ ing fits into the plan in its pro­ per1 place. “A master plan of the number­ ing will be located in the Clerk's office and from now on anyone can find out the number of any new building even before they start to dig the foundation.” i i Family allowances now cost th© Canadian taxpayers $38o,u- 000,000 a year. ★ ★ ★ Action ablaze in city of sixshooterg . stand of the West's desperadoes!
