Toronto, Ons In Toronto it was the 'crowds and the- grandchildren• and the shops that engaged much of my attention. That was a welcome experience' after living for months at a rural corner where there isn't even a gas station, where in a radius +sof a quarter -mile there are only five persons (there would have been six, but one is • in jail.) Two of the five are bachelors. , The wife and I get along famously with our few neighbors. We ate so glad to see one another that we don't allow any critic- isms or differences to mar our re- lationships. Really, one can get along with these' folk here better than with the jostling crowd in Eaton'sand Simpson's stores, where I was ' con- tinually bumping into people, and they and I saying, ,S`l beg your- pardon." Good old Abe, one of the bachelors, says when I talk about the bustle and the rush of the city, "Shucks! I have no use for it. Give me a fence to sit on, and my pipe, (and it is a smelly, very short -stemmed one, which I fear will singe his nose at times or fire the long hairs that nestle in his nostrils), and 'you can have all the city for me. This green field and this deep Lambton ditch is more to my liking, and what do they get out of their fuss and rush?" -You may call" him "Stick-in-the-mud," and "Overall Abe," or what you like,, but he has a happy look on his un- shaven face—unshaven since last Sun- day, , and now it's Friday. ,Its over- grown appearance makes_ me want to go over ray untidy lawn once more.

The reference made• now and again to the ark of God seemed quite in keeping' in that Chatham scene, just issuing_ from the depreda- tions of flood waters whose remnant pools • lay here' and there, especially just outside the town. The old river still had ` a swollen and threatening look. One fellow had a rejoicing ex- perience. He had come to the min- isterial -conference quite assured that, as doctors had warned him, he must give up work and retire from the active ranks. He thought he .would' go over to see a skilful and dependable medical man for examination in Chathaim which he did. He came. back to the chtarch 'beaming. .He said this doctor had done his investigating, most carefully 4d had presented him with a certificate as being 0.k. in every way and able to take work again.

A name which appeals to the . imagination of the public can make considerable differ- ence to trade when conditions again become highly competitive. Passenger line' officials make sure that names are not associated with a sea disaster. Hence, there will never, be another passenger ship.' 'named Lusitania, Athenia or Greenhill Park, beeanSe of the tragic end of these vessels. , .. 'While owners. Of freighters _are not called `on` to^ consider • the whims.or passengers, they have to contend 'with superstitious seamen. - Most companies try to name their ships after the countries to which they sail or after executives of the firm, na- tional public; statesmen or 'well-known ports of the world. - When Western Canada Steamships gas formed last year, ,every Province in the Dominion received a letter ask- ing Government heads to submit three ,names of lakes and a selection of those most, typical of Canada was made. Another source of ships' names is the long rooster of heroes. The Am- erican freighter Paul Dat'id Jones was named after' a' mess- boy who lost his life -while attempting to ..save the `cup _ _We,- did .not. ,have far_. to go away from home to see and meet the Gover- nor General and .-Her Excellency his lady: who looked the part. He came to Sarnia and in a fine morning's going and coming he and she won many hearts. The afternoon had otle of those disappointing downpoursof rain that make everybody blue. , The children's parade was called off and the park scene and parade had to be cancelled. What took place to' make up for this disappointment, for the thousands pf young people I don't know.
