Revisits United Kingdom On Nufiielcl Scholarship

tllxcer ts from letters received teem Fying Officer Archie J. Jebnstone. of Burlington P. E. I. now travelling in the United King- dom on I Nuffield agricultural icholarship: continued from a pre- rlrais issuer.

l.(lNl)0N, England--on Sunday morning. tMIy Ill. Andrew Ham- ilton took his wife. Fred Ind I to. nhurch in East Kilbrlde. Where Ml was anxious for II to belt 150 minister. also by "I0 "'39 9' Hamilton. The sermon VIII I004 but the most remarkable thlnl about the whole service we! to IIG Andrew so very tlllht Mr I0 loll! and we wondered how ions ll could last. The service VII I0 eoolier over when Andrew lay! HI wife I resounding Ilnltk when it made the moat noise. It was most embarrassing to her II we were up on the balcony Indf gvgnrl-may leaving their seats down i the body of the church looked up to see what the unusual sound” was. She was quite peeved with him for I time. but as no one could stay cross with Andrew for lnng. she soon forgot the incidenlj although she complained about ill Itinging for a long time.

When in America Andrew was sought speeding one night when he uns returning home from I party rather iatc vtith his boat": car. Hcl uas fined eighteen dollars on the. spot. which he thought rather too. much and complained to his host who knevt a judge that Andrew had already met earlier. An up-l; pointment uas arranged with lit! judge who agreed to get the line back The iiidge must have had I sense of humour. as when Andrew arrived he appeared quite firm and told him that the caite had”. gone just a little farther than he. had anticipated and that the best; thing that Andrew could do want appear in court.

This rather shuok Andrew. who had been assured that the money would be easily returned. but fin- ally agreed to take it to the court. As he had brought his kill. he wore it at the trial. on which oc-lg casino he found the courtroom filled with townspeople. which he. thought rather odd. Coming heforel the iiiiigi-. the judge looked at him! severely saying: "Mr. Hamilton, when in criminal comes before this court. if is usually the policy of the court to have him sing." At first Andy uas a bit bewildered. but seeing that the judge meant it. he sang 'l Belong to Giaiigow' which via: qutip appropriate as the town he was being tried in was named Glasgow.

This coincidence. and his singing delighted his American audience and he was applauded so loudly that he was induced to sing again and again. with the and result that he got his money back. but not without the incident getting into the British papers. 'Seot.s Lad sings way out of American Police Court? it may have delighted the Yanks. he says. but it didn't please the Major General at the Niiffleld Headquarters. with the result that he received I very stiff note from that source. A senior American official hearing about this. wrote the Nuffield Foundation and the matter was smoothed over to thei Satisfaction of all. Life is never- dtill around Andrew Harriiltonis. ll

On our way south we passed through Stratliaven (pro. Stravenl. where I had I dental appointment. A mile outside the. town we. ran into I show clad countryside. which is amazing considering the time of year. The sun later came out and melted the snow rapidly before we were very far on the road. but there was possibly ant t inch all oi er the area. before thel

sun broke through. I went into" it shop to buy some post cards and

all was instantly spotted as I Canad-

When in Britain on leave rluringl. the War. I spent a lot of leave in Smnhp Freeland

Glasgow. and had been invited to several Friday nlte parties at a

home in Pollockshields. which with uni fgmllyy )1 ambnil spending a vaca

Keivinside is considered the elite residential Glasgow. I had contacted Dorothy

4Mrs. Fowler! and was invited to.

bring Fred along for dinner. which was out of the question as we were to be too late getting back from a tour of the West Coast with And- rew and Betha. but we did get there later.

Marjorie Flint. one of the old Bingoettes at the Chapman's and Jean MacLean from Australia were also invited along. The girls during the war had a club which they called the Bingoettes. which with the help of Mrs. Chapman ar-

ranged to have about eight Dom-'

inion service men in for lunch and entertainment each Friday night. Of the seven or eight girls then, Marjorie is the only one not mar-

ried. Having just returned from a.

trip around the world with her mother. including Amegica and Australia. she had quite a lot to tell.

in fact. we all had. as we hadn't seen each other since the winter of '45 and knew I lot of the same people then. Dorothy Chapman's husband. 3. S. Fowles. is an en- gineer with the Wills Tobacco Company and her father. whom we all knew and liked during the War. I one time indiistriaiist is

The afternoon too had been very anioyable. with Andrew in high spirits and I-letha gradually recov- ering good-naturedly front her ordeal after the Service. We stop- ped outside Largs to climb I hill

overlooking the Island of Arran (Scotland in Miniaturei and to take some pictures We had lunch

here at I hotel in a very beauti- ful setting. As we were paying for it. Andrew promised to take us to the best and very nearly succeed- ed I should think. We also had I young Rhodesian chap with us. who is working his way through Great Britain and seems in no hurry to get home. i Finishing in Britain some time later this stim- mer he is then hitch hiking across Europe and thence home eveni- ually. We admired his spirit but prefer not to emulate him in this. Leaving the highway at Abington we headed westward into Lend- hllla in see the hill farming in that area. "Fit only for the pro- duction of sheep and growing of rhubarb" we were told by I nat- ive of the area. The sheep are mostly what are locally known as 'blIckface' but the name. of Chev- iot II often heard in the area. The hills are high and in places steep. but smooth and not rugged and sharply peaked as are the High- lands. We stopped for ltinch with
