Old London Fascinating Place for
All Who Boast of British Blood
By Barry Wenger
ANCIENT iNN
Two or three friends in Can-
ada had cold me that I must
not miss lunch at the Cheshire
Cheese, an old inn just off
Fleet Street. Here, they said,
nCWsnien from the world's
greatest papers gather, and
they were right. The old build-
ing is hard to find, being lo-
cated on a narrow lane, but
once inside there was 110 mis-
taking the atmosphere of an
l iigland of long ago. The floors
run up grade and down, the old
beamed ceilings are hlacicwitit
the stroke of centuries, but
the whole place, all three
floors, are bouncing with act-
ivity.
We sat down to a delicious
lunch and soon fell into con-
versation with an English jour-
nalist who had spent five years
working on papers in Ontario
and who, like many of his
countrymen with similar exper-
fence, hopes to return to this
part of the world.
Attar lunch we were invited
to visit the wine cellars. De-
scending about twelve feet on
two stairways, we saw the re-
mains of the, arches of an an-
cient cloister. It developed
that the, inn was originally an
abbey and the .level we stood
on was the street level .in those
far away days. The original
building was destroyed .in the
Great Fire or the seventeenth
century and the present build-
ing was erected soon after. Men
of letters have frequented the
tavern for centuries.
FASCINATING S'1'RFPTs
I'he whole centre or London
is interesting and when the
visitor sets out to walk, itis
stroll is likely to go on for hours
as each new street invites his
attention. The stores are fas-
eutatung, as are the theatres,
concert halls and public build-
ings..
I spent one day to the coun-
try with Mr. and tylrs, Bob Rus -
bridge, and their family, Mrs.
Rushridge is a sister of Mrs.
John 1 artgrtdge of Wingham,
and they provided a real treat
when they took ntr for a lord;
drive through the entintry lanes.
Driving into the village of
Westerham in Surrey, I was
surprised to tend it was the
btrthpla.ce of Major t3eneral
James Wolfe, the conqueror of
Quebec. His statue stands in
the w111agt' square and we visit-
ed the ehutch he attended as a
young Man. No one seems to
lay particular attention to the
church, but you can imagine
tnV atnae.ement, after looking
at the old eatvinls.andcolurnns
to see a list of the rectors, the
first being simply "John-- 129.1%
A brief printed Itistoty of the
church states that Clement was
the parish priest at some time
prior to .1:199.
The drive through the Eng-
lish countryside took us through
the rolling hills of the North •
Downs, along the winding lanes
which are scarcely wide enough
for one full-sized car and worn
down several feet below the
level of the fields on either
side.
(lack in London I spent Fri-
day on a lengthy walk through
sections 1 had not seen before,
and in shopping for the light-
weight gifts that could go into
an already bulging suitcase.
That evening I visited the
famous (at one time infamous)
Soho district and ate in one of
the finest restaurants I have
ever entered. Night life in So-
ho was a pretty lurid thing un-
til a short time ago, but rumor
has it that the police have
made a clean-up and the casual
visitor sees little that is in any
way shocking --or even more
than ordinarily interesting.
BACK TO FRANCE
The following morning our
party was off on the boat train
from Waterloo station to Dover,
and thence by boat and a quiet
crossing of the straits to Calais.
Back on the train in France the
afternoon was intensely inter-
esting as we watched the French
peasants at work In their small
fields, planting for the season's
COUNTY PETITIONS
EDUCATION MINISTER,
COMMUNITY COLLEGE
C;ODFWCH-Huron council
has petitioned the Minister of
Education to consider establish-
ing a community college in
Huron.
The legislative and educa-
tion committee, reporting
Thursday afternoon, said the
department has indicated that
community colleges will be es-
tablished throughout the pro-
vince. and pointed out that
Huron is "ideally located" as
regards Waterloo and Guelph
Universities; grounds are more
readily available in rural than
urban areas, also transportation
housing and other facilities.
"1 think this is something
that would be very beneficial
to Huron,' said chairman Ken-
neth Stewart, reeve of McKil-
lop, speaking to the report.
"We have a lot of young people
here who would like to further
their education. Huton is lack=
ing in this type of education,
and we would gain a lot if we
could get it."
Jed: "'.Is it had luck to have a
cat follow you,"
Joe: "It depends whether you're
a man or a mouse.'
crops. The countryside is laced
with canals which carry much of
the produce and merchandise.
In some areas there were grim
reminders that we were passing
through one of the most bitterly
congested spots on the face of
the globe. Concrete pill -boxes
glared with blind eyes toward
the Belgian frontier only a few
miles away.
The rail line runs right
across northern France, through
the battle sectors of the first
world war, the names of the
towns familiar from the songs
of that era. Most memorable
was the smal city of Armen-
tieres, no doubt the hometown
of Mademoiselle, about whom
every first war soldier sang so
heartily.
On this trip we learned at
first-hand just how inconsistent
the French can be. First class
carriages are very comfortable.
The entire coach is made up of
six -seat compartments, closed
off by glass doors from the nar-
row aisle down one side which
provides access to them. Every
train has several of these first
class coaches, as well as many
second class coaches which do
not have separated compart-
ments, but are,nontheless, very
comfortable.
Throughout our journey the
narrow access aisle in our first
class coach was gutted with
second class passengers and
their baggage, who preferred
to stand all the way rather than
take a seat in the all -but -empty
second class carriages.
About six o'clock we started
to look for the dining car. We
were sure that there must be
one on the train since it was
travelling right through to Rome.
Conductor, brakeman and
everyone else in uniform had
completely disappeared after
punching our tickets outside
Calais, and we never did see
them again.
In the absence of officials
we searched the train from our
car to the rear, looking for a
dining car, and without results.
Going forward, and clambering
over the massed humanity in
the narrow aisles, we eventually
discovered that we had come to
a full stop at a baggage car,
through which we were not per-
mitted to pass. There we learn-
ed that there was, indeed, a
dining car on the train, but it
was ahead of the baggage car.
The only method of getting to
it was to wait for a station stop,
get out of our own car, run
like mad to the diner and leap
on board before the train took
off after one of its 3t -second
stops,
'Getting back to our own
quarters would be a fast -take
reversalof the first procedure.
We turned chicken and didn't
chance it. Soon after, however,
we spotted a sandwich seller on
the platform of the station at
Charle-ville, where the train
was to pause for four or five
minutes.
Three members of our party
leaped for the platform and the
rest of us coached them from
the open windows of the train.
They returned with sandwiches -
the wildest ones into which I
have ever tried to sink a tooth.
Apparently the sandwich is a
little foreign to the average
Frenchman's comprehension.
What we got were 12 -inch
lengths of super -dry French
bread (round loaves about three
inches in diameter) split down
the centre and containing --no
butter, no mustard, no ketchup
no salt and pepper. Just a lone-
ly slice of partly -cooked ham
about the size of a slice of
Canadian side bacon. It was
hard; it was tough and it was
dry. No wonder all Frenchmen
have shiny, white teeth.
HOME TO CANADA
We had 45 seconds to get
our bulging baggage onto the
platform at Montmedy, the
rail station nearest to Marville-
but we made it. The taxi ride
thing to live through and give
thanks. The driver apparently
had a grudge against humanity
and was prepared to sacrifice
himself .and his '57 car In a
personal effort to wipe out the
human race. Rack on the sta-
tion we erased the memories of
our hardships with a great Can-
adian -style T-bone and a tall
glass of milk.
At noon the following day
we were airborne once more,
this time in a Yukon specially
fitted for comfortable flights.
Ten hours' flying time brought
us back to Ottawa --and a rush
for the connecting flight to
Malton. Imagine, if you can,
the shock of emerging into a
dirty, raw, wet snowstorm after
shine!
My trip to Europe was inter•
esting; it was also frustrating, •
In fact, I think it was a trap,
saw so many fascinatingplaces
that there will be only one re -
suit. I will have to scrimp and
save and plan for the next trip•
the one that gives me time to
explore to my heart's content.
