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. - . . ,

It is surprising Just how
feeling for "home" can come
in such a short time. 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. So,

upon being asked for permis
sion to rub, he said "yes" and
turned, up with a rag and tin
of brass polish.
Miss Seldon then showed
me the Churchill home and
estate. 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. And Mike is happy
because he now knows that
these people do like honest-to-goodness
singing.
