Feb. 22: At the evening
meal. Miss Scldon produced,
much to my surprise, a "Hap
py Birthday, Chuck" cake. It
is a traditional English fruit
cake clothed in a soft blue
icing. The cake was delicious,
and judging from its size, will
continue to be Just as delicious
throughout the home stay. As
birthday presents, the Seldons
presented two map and 'guide
books of London.
In the evening, a friend of
the Seldons arrived from
Worthing for the week end to
discuss with Mr. Seldon their
planned journey to Russia.
Mr. Seldon had received can
cellation notice of the tour
just that morning. .
In the course of. conversa
tion; I found the man, John
Chirgwin, had an uncle in
America. In fact, to quote
Chirgwin, he lives in "a small
Oregon town called Medford.
He immigrated to America
around 1908 and later became
an American citizen." So to
Mr. H. S. Chirgwin of 23
Corning Court, Medford,
comes a hello from the John
Chirgwin family of Worthins.
Feb. 23: Doug and I spent
the afternoon at the National
Gallery in Trafalgar Square.
More than a mere cource in
Italian Renaissance painting
will be needed to make me
like those paintings.
Meal time is great. Pick up
the fork with the left, the
knife with the right. Then for
get they are there, for there
they will stay for most of the
meal. Next comes the intrica
cies of transporting the York
shire pudding, toad - in - thc
hole, or whatever to the
moi'.h. That which can be
jabbed, jab. That which can
not be jabbed must be pushed
onto the back of the fork with
the knife. Peas and small tid
bits are an exception. For
these the fork in inverted. The
morsels are then pushed into
the hollow. If the fork does
not contain' pudding, meat,
potatoes,' carrots, peas, and
apple sauce It is just not an
acceptable bite.

MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1963
Feb. 23: Sunshine is making
this a perfect day to go into
London proper.
At the bottom of the road,
I caught a 17? Red Line bus.
Tl e view from the top deck is
tremendous if you can- see
through the smoke.
Four things stand out in my
memories of St. Paul's Cathe
dral. First is the majesty of the
great doors with the paintings
depicting the life of the Saint
high above our heads.
Second is the whispering
gallery. Here, immediately be
low the dome and 100 feet
from the cathedral floor, the
guide's voice on the opposite
side (107 feet away) is per
fectly audible, although he
may be only whispering, i
Speaking with his face to the
wall, his voice travels along
the smooth circular surface.
My third vivid memory is
of the small dome which sup
ports the Ball and Cross above
the lantern. This dome is cylin
drical (about 5 feet in height
and 3 feet in diameter) and
enclosed with meshed wire.
From here, 365 feet above the
city of London is a wonderful
view. .
Christopher Wren, the re
markable architect who de
signed and built the cathedral
from 1675 to 1710, made one
great error. He forgot to in
clude a lift. Instead, there are
519 climbing steps and two
long ladders from the ground
floor to the last gallery. They
are almost all circular.
Last I will mention the
crypt and monuments.
Throughout the cathedral are
beautiful m o n u ments and
tombs including such notable
names as John Donne, Lord
Nelson, and Christopher
Wren; but the most striking
monument of all is one in the
crypt. It is a bust of George
Washington, American presi
dent. For this I could stand to
hear an explanation.
I walked to the Tower of
London. It Is in reality not a
tower but a collection of
towers joined by walls and
surrounded by a high fortress
wall. Within these walls one
can view the crown jewels,
see an inexhaustible supply
of ancient armour and listen
to the beefeaters in their nar
ratives about some of Eng
land's greatest politicians who
met their deaths within its
confines.
Then there are the tower
ravens. According to super
stition, if these birds are ever
lost or fly away, tho crown
will fall, and Britain with It.
Throughout World War II one
solitary raven kept post at the
tower. As a result, England
has been brought to her se
curest position. Getting an
edge on fate, the authorities
clipped the wings of the
ravens. Never will Britain
fall, because the birds are un
able to fly.

Salem -OJPB Suggested sal
ary Increases for the secretary
of state and state treasurer
were rejected Tuesday by the
Ways and Means committee.
The proposal would have
raised salaries of the two offi

The committee approved a
series of budgets, including
$10 million for the state po
lice. It provides for 18 new
positions. The governor had
requested 35.
