hold the balance and resolve this
world crisis. It is to us that the

PETERSON TELLS OF TRIP
Oscar Peterson and son Orald
who returned recently from an 81
aay tour ot t-urope, told the fol
iwo ingexepriences: "We were
met by the tour guide, E. B
Wright, at Southampton, Eng
and taken to the Mt. Roval ho
tel in London where we made our
home for six days. We saw many
interesting things in this grand
old city. Special visits were to
The Tower of London, Westmins
ter Abby, St. Paul's Cathedral
Piccadilly Circus, Windsor Cas
tie, Stoke Poges Church and Ma
nor, made famous by Thomas
Gray in his "Elegy in a Country
Churchyard". The Penns, rela
tives of William Penn, lived at
the Manor.
Two days were spent on farms
in bussex county and near Dork
ing which is a rich farminB coun
try. Dairying, root crops and
grains are raised and the farm.
ers seemed prosperous and han
py. Two men from the National
Farmers Union of England were
with us. The Farmers Union is
given credit for stabilized prices.
We left London for York and
Edinburgh. There we visited
Yorkminster Cathedral. We saw
the homes of Robert Louis Stev
enson and Arthur Conan Doyle,
also statues of Sir Walter Scott
and Robert Burns. We visited Kd
inburgh Castle and Palace of Ho.
lyroad House. We visited the
tarms of David Lowe and Sons
at Murrelburgh and D. C. Wan-
ron and -Sons at East Lothian
These farms are large and hikh-
ly diversified. Mr. Lowe says the
present form of government not
so good that folks are paid not to
worK du: our guide was of a dif
ferent opinion; says that more
folks enjoy a good living and
better medical care than ever
before.
We left Sept. 22 on the boat
Venus for Brogen, Norway, a
clean looking city of 100,000 on
the famous fjords of Norway.
Much fishing is done there. Nor
way is picturesque. They could
capitalize on it as they do in
Switzerland. We visited the small
farms near Oslo. The Norwegi
ans will come back if any people
ever will. Sunday is their Sab
bath day and is religiously kept
as sucn.
In Sweden we found the Swed.
ish Economic association and the
ministry of state working togeth
er almost 100 percent. Farmers
seem prosperous and contented.
Electric energy is everywhere
and is state owned. There are
many evergreen trees and much
greenery as is also found in Nor
way. No trees are cut without
government permission. We vis
ited Stockholm, a very pretty city
called the "Venice of the World."
We went to Denmark next. It
is very up-to-date in cooperative
and farming methods. We visited
the castles of Fredericksbprg and
Kronberg and the Grundvig
church. Went on the Danish Riv
iera. Denmark is a great dairy
country.
We visited a bit of Germany.
The countryside is beautiful and
highly productive. Hamburg and
Bremen were badly bombed. Sa.
muel Johnson said "War is hell"
and it is.
Holland is a most interesting
country. In the lowlands, reclaim
ed from the Zuider Zee, is much
farming. The Zuider Zee is sep
arated from the North Sea by a
high dike 22 miles long. It rivals
some of our great engineering
projects.
We then went to Paris and
France. A great people and coun
try but many times misunder
stood. Torn between war and
strife for many centuries but still
a great country. Paris is a sub
stantial city of 6 million souls
built mostly when a franc was
five francs to the dollar instead
of 350.
