Moore, ion of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Moore, 1239 Watson dr.. Grants Pan, former Medford residents. Young Moore is In England partici pating In the Experiment in International Living. He is a student at Lewis and Clark college, Portland.) - By CHARLES A: MOORE March 6: This is the day for a pilgrimage to Canterbury in Miss Seldon's Cortina. The sun is back out today and the weather is warm. Traveling mostly by coun try road, we got to see a lot of landscape. The county of Kent, known as the garden of England, certainly lives up to its label. A good part of our drive was along the' famed Pilgrim's Way. The Cathedral is a beauti ful structure, but I prefer Westminster Abbey. Lovely Little Town Canterbury is a lovely little town. The streets are in the main too narrow for dual traf fic. There are delightful ex amples of Elizabethan archi tecture hanging over some roads. But most interesting was an ancient looking low arch in the side of an otherwise ob scure building. To my surprise and delight, I had stumbled on the Hospital of St. Thomas of Canterbury. The structure of 1180 A.D. was used through tne centuries as a resting place for the pilgrims who had at last completed their long and perilous journeys .to Canter bury. Its chapel is still in use for worship. Never before, even in more ancient struc tures, had I felt so deeply the antiquity of my surroundings, ratling at Home March 7: The weather is great. Its even relatively warm. London better stay that why because we ran out of anthracite coal a few days ago and the other is low. Being in a smokeless zone, we have to burn smokeless fuel, and that isn't the easiest kind to get. We're not hurting yet though. We still have the paraffin stoves and an electric heater to help stretch the coal supply. - . . , Medford Man Artisted On Porofe Violation Leslie Eugene Boss, 20, of 1204 Withlngton ave., Med. ford, was arrested by Med- ford police Monday and lodged in Jackson' county jail on a charge of parole vio lation.

I am per fectly at ease with the Seldons and wandering around Lon don feeling as though I had never been elsewhere. It is a tremendous experience. And the Seldons have been mar velous about the whole thing. They have even offered to iut us hold our farewell get to gether for the families at their house. March 9: Seldons and I spent the week end visiting the Chirgwins at wortning. Sunny" Worthing is a South- coast resort town of 87,000 inhabitants. Being only 80 years old, it is a modern town by English standards. Having London for my base of com parison. Worthing seemed to me to be unbelievably clean. Worthing has a record of being one of the six top cities in England for sun-time. Example of Architecture The Chirgwin house is nice example of "between the wars" architecture. During this period practically any thing went in styling. We even find Spanish style tile roofing appearing. Mr. Chirgwin drove the Seldons and me on a rounded tour of the area which includ ed the quaint little town of Arundel, with Arundel Castle picturesquely rising behind it. March 11: From nine until five at the library, then Doug and I went to Chadwell School of Art to folk sing. The sing was fine but the most interesting part of the evening was when Doug chose a bus for us to get home. It Just hap pened to be the wrong bus going the wrong direction. It will take him a while to live that down. March 12: Today began my career of brass rubbing. Arriv ing at Westminster Abbey, I attended a divine service be fore starting. Brass In Good Condition The rubbing I did was Sir John Harpedon. Six feet in length, it is the only military brass in the Abbey. Dated about 14S0, the brass is in good condition other than for the cloth mantel extending from the helm. It just doesn't extend anymore. March 18: Rain let up a lit tle today so Miss Scldon and I had a drive tnrough tnei country south ol London. The country down here Is Just beautiful. Stopping In Westerham, I received a first-rate history lesson and a good laugh. At the ancient parish church we talked to the sexton. A jolly little man, he was only too eager to tell some of Wester ham's history. In this church Sir Winston Churchill wor ships, and Gen. James Wolfe (later conqueror of Quebec) was baptized and worshiped. In fact, if you look down this hill you can see his house right over there. But he wasn't born at home. No, his mother walked up to the vicarage to see the vicar and nan t get any farther. In fact the room right behind that window was the very place he was born. Sixteenth Century Brasses Having noticed several fine sixteenth century brasses in the church, I inquired about rubbing and got this story: When the sexton had first come to the church he was unfamiliar with brasses.

After a picnic, we headed home, Tonight was a big night at the Jug of Punch. Alex Cam bell, a well known folk singer over here, was booked. This drew the best singers that this club has seen, since I arrived, to sing on the same program. For the first time the music, and I dare to use the word "music," was thoroughly en joyable.
