EDITOR'g NOTE:
Roy Shaver of Finch, Ont., past president of Ontario
'Plowmen's Association, accompanied Douglas S, Reid of
Brampton, Ont., and Algie Wallace of North Gower, Ont.,
Canada's champion plowmen, on their trip to the British Isles,
Eire and France. This is the fifth and last of a series of ,
weekly articles written by him as team manager about their
experiences, and impressions.

Humor With Fog
However, the Londoners' native
sense of humor came to hi4irescue
and some very amusing tales came
out of the fog. I cannot guarantee
them, but I think some are worth
repeating.
Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia
was driving his aunt, the Dubhess
of Kent, through London but be-
came lost in the fog. A constable
approached his stranded car and
asked if he could help.
"I should be glad to know the
way to Buckingham Palace. I have
to get my aunt there," the prince
replied.
"Don't be sarcastic. I'm only
trying to help," replied the cop.
It apparently took quite a time to
persuade him it was not a bad
Just around the corner from us
at Marble Arch a movie house dis-
played this sign: "Owing to the fog,
the management cannot,,guarantee
the clarity of the picture." The
fOg got everywhere. All surface
transportation came to a halt sev-
eral times and only the Tube (Lon-
don subway) was running. But
the fog even reached the plat-
forms far below ground. There
was no escaping it.
On the Sunday we made our way
across the city to the vast Earl's
Court arena where the annual
Smithfield Livestock Show was to
open the next day. Officials at
Ontario House,had arranged a pee -
view for us.'
The fog got there first though.
By then several of the prize an-
imals were suffering from severe
respiratory ailments caused by the
murk. Eventually, I understand,
two of the animals died, and one
big exhibitor " fitted his animals
with his own patent gas-maskS--
or should it be fog -masks. He
poured bottles of whisky over
sackcloth and tied the cloth around
the animals' nostrils. It was effee-
tive too, for the animals stopped
coughing.

thinking of fog and London, for it
was there on our last full day
in England that we visited the
Smithfield Show in the gloom at
the worst fog of the city's modern
history.
The swirling, billowing clouds
of dense, smut -laden fog turned
the day into a weird twilight and
the night into spooky blackness.
For the three of us—Doug Reid
of Brampton, champion tractor
plowman, Algie Wallace of North
Gower, champion horse plowman,
and myself, Roy Shaver, of Finch,

perience we will never forget.
We arrived in London on the
Wednesday night, flying in from
Paris, where we had spent a bried
two-day trip visiting the war
graves. Fortunately our first two
days were fog free, and so we
were able to visit Canada House
to meet Canada's High Commis-
sioner, Norman Robertson, and
then Ontario House to meet On-
tario's -Agent-General Major J. S. P.
Armstrong. At Canada House we
renewed acquaintanceship . with
Prime Minister St. Laurent, who
was then in England to attend the
Commonwealth Prime Ministers'
Conference. He remembered' us
all from the Ontario Plowing As-
sociation banquet after the Inter-
national match.
Mr. Robertson .placed a car at
our disposal and- that day, strange-
ly enough in quite bright sun, we
saw St. Paul's Cathedral, the ToWcr
of London, and watched the chang-
ing of the guard at Buckingham
Palace. Ony Machines, I am sure,
could match the clockwork pre-
cision of those soldiers. Our •visit
to Buck Palace provided an un-
expected thrill for while we were
standing there, the ,little Princess
Anne came to the' "window and
waved. Perhaps she too liked our
Western hats. .
