WORK 'I" RQGRES§ES AT EGMONDVILLO BRIDGE
Work is well advanced on the new Egmondville bridge being constructed by the Huron County
Highways Department. One concrete abutment has been completed, and cribbing work is well advanced
for the second. The bridge, at the south end of Egmondville, is a 40 -year-old steel bridge. The new bridge
is to have a 30 -foot roadway, with a five-foot sidelwalk on one side. The cement floor of the bridge will
be carried 22 feet above stream level, with a span' of 62 feet. The camera looks north toward Seaforth,
from the south bank. The south abutment, on the near side in the photograph, is expected to be com-
plete in another two weeks, and if all goes well the bridge should be open to traffic soma time in
September.

of baggage and two 'People, and con-

in England.
As Viewed by a Horse
Said the Percheron horse to the Clydesdale mare:
"We now live at ease, but it seems unfair
For the tractor that takes a horse's place,
Means the end of our noble equine race.
We'll soon be extinct as the mastodon,
.And the sabre-toothed tiger that carried an
Where now the Hollywood studios weave
The fantastic tales of their make-believe.
We will join the mammoth and cave bear both
The dodo and auk and the great ground; sloth.
We horses once had an honored name
And we toiled and sweat to deserve the same;
• And the man in the saddle who held our reins,
Was the man who conquered the Western plains.
For the feather headdressed aborigine '
Gave way at the charge of the cavalry,
Anti no one walked, for the trails were long,
And a saddle horse was a theme for song.
And the crime -of -crimes in that land of the free
Was the horse -thief's• crime, and on nearby tree
He paid for the same as soon as caught—
A fate deserved, in the plains man's thought.
And we broke the sod and we raised a crop,
And we reaped the same, and we did not stop
Till it all was threshed and was hauled to town,
And we shared in the pioneers' renown.
And the bison's haunts became fields of grain,
And pure;bren stock soon enriched the plain;
We were man's best friend, and 'we thought to hold
His affection as in the days of old.
But now this brainless thing of steel.
That cannot think, and that cannot feel,
Has elbowed us out of men's esteem
And shattered the faithful horses' dream.
It feeds on fire, and cannot know
We were friends of men since the long ago,
And we thrilled with file 'and the pride of birth,
But this heartless thing drives us off the earth
To end in a canning factory,
And be shipped to the starving across the sea,
Whose divided views started two world wars,
That for centuries will show wounds an•d scars,
On town and tower and government,
And seething beds of wild discontent.
Their shelf -worn creeds plan a third world strife.
If there's anything :cheaper than human life,
It's the life of a horse in the world to -day;
Man and horse, once friends, may be swept away,
For men draft their best to serve war's cruel need,
And they leave their scrubs' safe at home to breed;
And that does not seem to me good horse sense,
Said the Percheron horse by the pasture fence.

English Journey
(By Walter R. Legge)
We arrived at Liverpool on Satur-
day, April 24.
Although the Ascanla docked at
about half past one in the •afternoon,
it was several hours after before any
passengers were allowed on shore.
Immigration officers came on board
to elamine passports, and the amount
of money each passenger bad was en-
tered on the passports so that the
amount taken out on the return jour-
ney could be checked. The actual
interview with the immigration offi-
cers only took a couple of minutes.
When we finally got on shore the
first thing to do was to trace our lug-
gage.
uggage. Each piece is placed in a sec-
tion according to the initial letter of
the owner, but when there are 757
passengers, each with many trunks
and bags, there is a mountain of bag-
gage under each letter, and there is
a terrible scene of confusion as each
one ehdeavours to locate his or her
belongings, get them together, and try
to interest a Customs officer in ex-
amining them next.
So far as we were concerned the
ordeal of passing through, the Cus-
toms was not difficult. A pleasant
speaking officer adroitly questioned
us es to how much tobacco, cigar-
ettes, liquor, we had arid also what
We were ,bringing in with the inten-
tion of leaving.
, in resgard. to what. is allowed, it
might be explained that a half .pound
of tobacco or 200 eigarettes, of 25
cigars Per person• will be passed.
p''ood is supposed to be limited to 25
pounds of any one article, but in prat
the, almost any reasonable ambunt
is ,palmed vritliout question,. Reason-
able quantities of clothing is :pied
but special,.. ttention Is Paald to nylon
mteelen held; OblY tete for personal
wear are allowed.
Nylon stockings are still very dif-
eeult to obtain in England and the
authorities apparently do everything
possible to prevent any getting into
the country. The rate of duty more
than equals the cost in Canada.
I had been advised that I might
have to pay a deposit on my camera
which would be returned when I left.
but when the officer found it was an
old camera and that 1 had no inten-
tion of leaving it in England it was
passed without question.
While there is,a certain amount of
trouble and confusion in getting bag-
gage through the authorities seem to
realize the benefits of attracting bona
fide tourists and they are given a
minimum of trouble.
After being .released by the Cus-
toms, the next difficulty is to locate
a porter to take- the baggage to a
taxi.
Toa Canadian or American, the
English system of handling trunks
and bags seems entirely out of date.
There is no such thing as checking
baggage as is done in Canada. The
traveller must locate porters and per-
sonally supervise the handling of all
his goods, on and off trains and ev-
erywhere.
That is probably the reason that
so many pieces become )oat Or stolen..
Liverpool was one of the main ob-
jectives of the German bombers and
went through one raid that last for
eight days Without stopping, yet to
the stranger there are few *Agile of
damage today. The plane has been,
cleaned up and repaired 'to .a relirark-
able degree, andthe doeke 4n the vi-
cinity of where we landed, look as if
they were always that way.
Most of the passengers were hound
for London or .Glasgow ,but 'We Were
headed for Blackpool and CM "took
taxi to Exehange rotation. The. Vii»
dlan'sa first introduction to an1D1;1iS3ti
raileTay station is a most depressing
experience. Most of them are drab
and dirty and; this one was indescrib-
ably filthy.
The funny little engines and cars
are strange, and most of the passen-
ger cars are badly in need of renov-
ating. They are certainly cleaner
then they were during the war, but
they are still in need of. much work.
Straighten the Spine
Consider the backbone! Proper pos-
ture is essential to good health So,
don't slump in your chair, or use it
as a lounging place. Medical authori-
ties say that we should straighten up
when we find ourselves beginning to
slump or slouch. We must adopt cor-
rect bodily carriage for • maximum
health- "-
If the spine is straight, the internal
organs have a 'better chance for do-
ing their work efficiently, in uncramp-
ed quarters. So, the experts call on
us to straighten our spines.
