What a relief to walk on solid ground. We landed at Cherbourg, France, on Tuesday at 7 a.m. We had a short stay in the city, and while we were there we saw the old French style build ings, and the cobblestone streets. There was considerable war damage. The boat was late on tying up at Tilbury, which is the port on the' Thames river where we landed for the final time. The fog had become very thick dur ing the night, and we had .to stay anchored for a long time. The delegation stayed in Croy don, a district of London, at the YMCA. From the boat we took a train to London, and then a bus to Croydon. The boys stay ed in a dormitory in the YMCA with a group of German boys. The girls stayed in private homes. Tour of City ..."'! The first day in London, July 14. we had a tour of the city. We went to the Tower bridge and watched the guards march back and forth, and then to St. Pauls Cathedral. In the Cathedral we saw the tomb of Sir George Williams, the founder of the YMCA in 1844. We went to the top of the dome and viewed the city.

In the afternoon we toured around the business section of town. At 4 p.m. we went to Madame Tussaund's Wax Mu seum. The figures in the mu seum were so real looking, thaj; when we saw an old lady sleep ing on a bench, we went over to examine her and she woke up. A very realistic wax model. Too realistic. After dinner we went to a Shakespearian play. "A Midsum mer Night's Dream." It was the best production of one of his plays that any of our " group had ever seen. The stage was natural theater, and the actors were natural in their actions. Going home we took a sub way and then a train. It was the first time I "had ridden on a subway. Visit Stratford On July 15, we went to Strat ford on Avon. There we saw where Shakespeare was born and buried. I also learned that it is believed that Shakespeare did not write the plays which he is credited with. Marlowe is said to have written them and given them to Shakespeare to print for him, but Shakespeare put his name on them. . While we were, in Stratford four of our boys wanted to' have a canoe race. They rented 'two canoes and started down the river. One of the canoes hit a river boat and tipped over, dumped the boys into the river. They had lo go back to London in wet clothes. That night I was invited to a social evening of a group of young Croydon people.- It was a lot of fun. In comparing Eng lish and American young peo-. pie, and how they conduct and plan these meetings, I believe we are far behind. A few of the i group would plan -some games to play at, the meetings. Subway Game One game, which a very bril liant boy turned up with, had to. do with the subway stations in London. He' made up a clue to each station, and typed them on cards, and tacked them up around the meeting rooiru The rest of the group tried to guess the names of the stations. One of the clues was: "A clown in the University?", 'which is Ox ford Circus. At the close of the evening everybody joined hands and sang "Auld Lang Syne." In respect to international re lations between England and ' America, it is our general im- pression that the English would j be happier if we pulled our troops out of their country.. They ! are afraid if another war breaks out, England will be our front I line. They also believe that if i America gets bombed, we will ! go into a panic and not know what we are doing. The delegation is in good health, and just a little home sick on hearing American songs on the Armed Forces radio. ALARM - ; St. Clair Shores, Mich.

Backed' by Active Club " The performance, scheduled to last two and a half hours, is sponsored by the Medford Active club to aid in their high school scholarship fund. The fund, now in its sixth year, offers a S250 scholarship to a boy or girl hav ing a real need for education but lacking money, according to Jack Cummings, a member of r -wm - - - - HORACE HEIDT AND THE HI I DT-STEFFIXS FCDA Urges Families To Store Food Supply Battle Creek, Mich. (U.R) Families should keep a seven day reserve food supply in their homes as a defense against nu clear attack, according to the Federal Civil Defense Adminis tration. ' The FCDA originally recom mended only a three-day supply.. It increased, the suggested the organization. Tickets are now on sale at the Purucker Piano House, 111 North Central ave. amount because, of the hazards of hydrogen bomb fallouts. a "Weapons have grown bigger and our planning must change accordingly," said Theodore Willcox, acting director of the FCDA Welfare Office. "Fall-out might keep people in shelters for anywhere from a few days to a week. If families plan against the larger hazard, it stands to reason that there would be considerably less suffering."
