‘A Day Spent , At Devon, Eng.

The following clipping was sent Rex McCarvllle. Hensley street.

to his parents and Is o description of a. sigrtseelng trip which he and. his English cous‘n enjoyed in com- pany with many other Canfl/iians‘

i i (By Godfrey Will, in o Devon, I England, Exchange) I In the courtyard an almond tree , was in blossom, frail and transpar- ent against the stone of the wail. It was tne first flowering I nao seen this year, and I loosed at it and then at the bus waiting to take us for our day out over the moors. . You had to admit, all the same. it was a izeavy mornLgg. There was ‘no sun. and when I saw m_y com- panions. many of them with the lscars of battle upon them, for a. lmoment, despite the almond tree, | I could not believe that the spring I was just over the hill. i Packlnz 1n was difficult. too, be- cause so many of the fellows had their legs in splints, and had to have room to stretch and a safe space of their carpet slip rs.

Some of them. I not ced, had brought shooting sticks, as though we were off to n. point-tc-polnt. and one of them wore a tweed - jacket and cap to match. such as in Deircetlme you used to see so often , at the races. His Blenheim fighters had run out of petrol, and he was lucky really to be there ih the bus at all, setting out for a day over the moors.

As we took the high road three cars fell in behind us. "You see, | We V" got a fighter escort." said one of ire pilots in mv row, with an flvceht which I rightly guessed to be Canadian

A Breath of I’. E. I.

Nearly every one had brought a map of the country wt); him hnd there was a good deal o! chafflng Bbout that when, in Newton Abbot, we took the wrong road, and I suggested how odd it was that after all their training in map reading in the air they should not be able to find the road to Wide- combe.

Every One laughed at that. ex- cept the Polish pilot. who Just went on looking at the map. I suppose he did not, understand or perhaps he was thinking of his own country and what the map would be like I when the war was over at last. I i never heard hm speak the whole Journey.

It was market day in Newton Ab- bot. The little town was crowded with carts and there were open-air I stalls, and at one of trem two _ pretty girls with scarves round ., their hair were picking over the ‘stuffs. pondering no doubt which , they would choose for a flowerlnc summer dress. Every one looked out of the window at them, as at a view, and lit cigarettes.

At last we were free of the battle of the carts, and the Canadian said that the rich red earth remnded him oi his home, Prince Edward Island, and his next-door neigh- bour replied: “I thought you came from Canada," To which he rotor‘:- ed: "But Prince Edward Island is the smallest province of Canada"

And I nodded myself, not know- ing a bit about it really. but think- ing secretly how strange ti: was that when the war happened we were so ready to make a fuss and welcome to service men from our Domlnions, but in peacetime so few of us took the trouble to find out anything about their country.

And so we came to Ashburtou and on to Wldecombe. As the hills became more switchback every mile. some one muttered that it was like dive-bombing, still too near to the ' other thing to free his mind com- pletely. But I suppose that was iri- evitable, because when, in one par- tcularly narrow lane, the sides of the bus grazed against the hedges ‘with a kind of swishing sound, I

heard an exclamation; "Ah, sharp- hel." And from three or four rows in front of me a whisper, almost

as thouch you were dreaming it. Hddvd: “But, oh, boy, where's ;l:.e flak?"

The day was beginning to lift, the soft Devon rain had ceased, rind our spirits had lifted too. when we reached Widecombe at last, and it was still just the some as it nod always been, with the shop on the left where you can get the pottery, and next to it the inn, and oppo- site. the Church House, and by the Green and sign depicting Uncle Tom Cosley and All.

No Cheese Available Like every one else having o day

out on the moors, we went first to the inn, and afterwards to ac the

Church House. In the inn, we all had cider, Pints of it. "Rough or sweet?" the barman osmri us, and we all voted for sweet. The Canad- ian had some, too, though he as- sured us that he was permanently ,on the wagon, and we assured him in turn that it was not intoxicat- i and he believed us. ere we were, clanny little groups filling the two parlours, and somebody said: "Now, what about some bread and cheese.” and o. chorus went up: "Hove you for- gotten, old boy, there's a war on?" All the same, it was rather surpris- ing not getting any cheese, because it was a day when we WWO all tr)’- ing very hard not to think about the war.

Another fellow assured us. it was all a. question of thermal currents. I knew nothing about anything as technical as that, But I did know that every moment it was getting warmer, not only the sun com ng full out, but also the atmosphere was changing, the-feeling that my companions, incarcerated for so long because of their honourable wounds, were subconsciously being ‘revitallsed by their daY out v11 the moors.

Visit Prison

After the picnic a votc was taker as to the rest of our itinerary, and complete unanimity was establish- ed at once, They wanted to go to Prlncetwon to see the prison, I suppose to reassure themselves how fortunate they were to be alive, and free men.

On the way, we stopped at Dart- meet where the two rivers join in a. sunllt, dancing melody over the rocks. And some of us were mm- tent to stand idly On the bridge and throw pebbles. and others went off by themselves, exploring along the banks.

One boy. I noticed. uterever we stopped, went off by himself at once. And I shall often see him in my mind. hurrying back, dot-and- carry-one. at the last moment, so as ' not to miss the bus.

There were a good many chal- lenges here about crossing the river stone-hopping, instead of hedge- hopplng for a change. I issued one myself. “Go on, Stan, you won't get right down to the bridge with- out falling in." And he started off at once, with Izis groggy knee and all, and because of that fell in with one foot up to his knee.

Afterwards, as he dried himself on the bank. enjoying the joke as much as nny one else, he said it reminded him of an occasion once in New Zealand, when for a charity show he drove his motor-bike right off the pier into t'\~ S61. ‘lrat ex- hbition had been child's play to him, really, because, you see, the air gunner drying his foot WRS Stan Greatrex, I suppose the most famous speedway rider who has ever packed the stadium at New Cross in days of peace.

the prison, and now the sun pour- ing into the bus made us all sleepy and heads began to nod, and it was good to see them sleeping,

with no nightmares and aided by no sleeping draught, but simply through fresh air and sun and a feeling of freedom. And then wo came to the prison and every one woke up, and I go the same feel- ing in the pit of my stomach as I always do when I see the tiny gratings instead of windows.
