And r c : England. Seven Days in Portugal On the return trip, I spent geven days in Lisbon, which was about five too many. It was mid-October when autumn storms were interfering with the Clipper schedules. At first, it seemed, I might have to wait ten days for a place on a Clipper: then it was more indefinite. It might be three weeks. As it has since turned out, it might be never. A prominent Can- adian who returned a few weeks later had to go by way of Africa, Brazil and Trinidad to get out of Lis- bon. The city is full of people try- ing to get out. For some of them, it is a matter of life and death. They must leave before the Germans get them. A place on the Clipper was not to be measured in mere dollars then (though it cost over $500, westbound). So I stayed in Lisbon with seven other Canadians, and as the days pastied slowly, our plight became so desperate that we returned at last on a refugee ship, "part of a cargo of cork," as Bishop Renison puts it. As I have said, Lisbon is beautiful from the air. So is the rest of Portugal that I had seen frcm the plane. From the ground, parts of the capital city are beautiful and everything is interesting. But un- der its picturesque exterior, there lurk dangers, even in peace time. Now the whole city is full of danger and intrigue. For the first time, the question of money began to bother us, when we learned we might be in Lisbon indefinitely. .We could bring only $40 each in American money out of England under the strict war- time rules. Out of that, we had to pay our fares home from New York. Other expenses begun to come up. We held a conference and ooled our resources at last, find- ing that we had just enough to stay one week at our hotel in Lisbon. We knew nothing of the language For two days, we lived like paup- ers, hoarding every escudo, till the British Embassy came to our aid and guaranteed our hotel bill. Headquarters of the Gestapo We stayed at the Hotel Victoria in Lisbon, not at the expensive Palacia. It 'had (been recommend- ed to me by an American foreign correspondent in London. "It's new and clean," he said, "so long as you dont mind staving in the same hotel as the head of the German Gestapo in Portugal.' 1 I laughed that off. In London that sounded like an added ad- venture, so, on my recommendation we stayed at the Victoria. It was, new, and clean, and cheap, and the meals were good. And we saw the head of the Gestapo, not just once but too often. His men kept a close watch on the eight Can- adians. It gets on your nerves in n few days. The Avenida da Liberdade is the main street of Lisbon. The name as you may guess, means "Av- eims wf Liberty." It stretches north and south up a broad valley be- tween Lisbon's ten hills. The av- enue is reputed to be one of the most beautiful in all the world. I don't doubt it. It is wide. Down each side is a broad roadway. In the centre, is a feur-lane highway. In 'between the outer strip and the centre, are jrardens with palm trees and edible chestnuts and benches to sit on under the palms and on the grass. Here and there are sidewalk cafes, where every- thing can ,be had to drink from ice cream widas and strong coffee to much stronger things. The road- way circles around many monu- ments or (fountain* with goldfish swimming In the waters. And all the sidewalks are of mosaic little pieces of colored marble laborious- ly laid by hand into patterns. Not only are there scrolls and fU.wers, but the history of Portugal is written there for those who can read the language. Up and down the Avenida, there is a steady stream n>f traffic On the roadways at tho side, old-fash- ioned street cars with open sidej pas* every few *-conds. I never a,w so many street cars on one str- eet anywhere. The automobiles are mostly tiny oars and one could ride half a mile in a taxi for six Amer- ican cents. Most of the people are on foot, many of them with bare "vet. There is poverty everywhere in Portugal and it intrude* even on to the beautiful Avenidn. Hundreds of women pass i n hour, with baskets on there heads containing silvery fish or grapes or flowers. Men carry case* of wine or heavier load*. Many of thorn have little fancy wicker baskets with a lid and handle. I was curious about them. One day I foll- owed an old lady. She stopped .occ- asionally to pick thing* off the street. At last she sat on a bench * nd , I ,* at < lo wn b*ide her. she op- ened her hamper. Inside were little bits of metal On the lid of the has. Ket, she had a horseshoe magnet. i h the magnet, she tested all the r 1 "' , SC :^\, Tht ' "- "he put kn.' -rus n an- other. There's no need for salvage campaigns in Lisbon. Nothing goas Canadians are paying heaver taxes than eve*, but taxea were perhaps never more cheerfully paid. This gasoline rationing may not he an unmixed evil if it clamps down on the wild wedding paradej. 8TH LINE OSPREY Mrs. Wm. Hanley has not been enjoying very good health for the l>at couple of weeks. Her many friends here wish for her complete restoration. Recent visitors at the Hawkins home were: Mr. and Mrs. Sam Mc- Nab and Alex, of Ohatsworth, Mr. Walter Sadgeon and Mr. and Mrs. <!<.. Saigeon and family, Hanover. Mr. and Mrs. Will Somers of Fern Glen and Mr. Vcrnon Somers of Guelph spent the week end at the parental home. Mr. Jim Haley of Badjeros and Mr. Pat Haley of Melancthon were week end visitors with friends here. Mr. and Mrs. Garnet Magee of To- ronto .spent the week end with the!r son, Gerald, here. A very larg;e circle of friends of L.A.C. Jim Giblin of Yorkton, Sask., met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Somers on Friday evening to wel- come him and spend a few hours in his company ere his departure. Dur- ing the course of the evening Mr. Bill Stephens read an address and Mr. Jim Haley made the presenta- tion of a wrist watch as a constant reminder of loyal hearts and true around his old home and vicinity of 8th Line, Osprey. The address was signed by Wilfred Haley, Lloyd Stephens and Mervin Somers. Which side of an apple pie is the left side? The part which isn't eaten. It is reported from Germany that Marsha_l Goering is sick. We hope it is nothing trivial. AUCTION SALE HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE The Executors of the Estates of The Late Marian K.

It is only through the Canadian Red Cross Society that anybody in Canada can send food parcels to any Canadian, British, Australian or New Zealand prisoner-of-war anywhere. This is but one of the great tasks of the Canadian Red Cross; great tasks require great effort and much money. More than 40,000 prisoners-of-war food parcels are sent overseas by the Red Cross every week. This number must be more than doubled to meet the actual need. More than a million such parcels have a 1 ready been sent to prisoners-of-war. It all costs money. The Canadian Red Cross Society has not campaigned nationally for funds since October, 1940. It now asks urgently for $9,000,000 in the only national campaign for war service funds to be authorized by the Govern* nuMit this vear. Every dollar contributed by you is wisely dealt with and economically adminis- tered. All Red Cross accounts are subject to scrutiny by the Auditor-General of Canada. The Canadian Red Cro has given enormous atniatance to the injured and homeleM in bombed areas in Britain. At Coventry and Hull, in devastated London, Plymouth, BrUtol and Liverpool, the Canadian Rea i'roHH was there. Millions of article* of clothing, shoes, blanket* and other comfort* have been distributed. TheuMmb of children In Britain have ben made orphan* by the war.
