34 Iiiterarp Section JUNIOR SECTION I would Like to speak to you to-day for a few minutes on the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, the capital of our country. I have been there several times and each time I go, I see something new. They are built on Parliament Hill and con- sist of the east block, the west block and the main building, all facing on a central square. The tower is famous and is called the Peace Tower. In the tower is a large book called the Book of Remembrance. In it are the names of all the Canadian soldiers who died in the two World Wars. At the top of the tower is a carillon of fifty-three bells. They are played like an organ on special occasions. The clock strikes every quarter hour and can be heard a couple of miles away. The tower is 365 feet high. Behind the main buildings is the library. It has many thousands of books and has a copy of every book and paper that is published in Canada. It is the only building of its kind in the world. It is completely round and you see the very top when you stand on the floor. The floor squeaks when you walk on it because it got soaked when the buildings burned in 1917. The ceiling in the Senate is gilded and the walls are covered with paintings of pictures in the first war. There is a special throne for the Governor-General when he opens Parlia- ment. The ceiling in the House of Commons is made of one big piece of linen made especially in Ireland. There is a press gallery at one end for reporters and a vistors' gallery at the other end. Anyone is allowed to go and listen to the members of Parliament. They keep gold bricks in the basement and my uncle, who works in the Government, has counted them. The Mounties guard the gold and they also stand at all the doors. People like to take their pictures. Visitors usually end their sightseeing with a trip to the top of the tower. You have to go part-way up stone stairs and then two different elevators. At the top is a narrow bal- cony with a high stone railing. You can see for many miles. You can see the clock working and hear the bells strike. Everyone who goes to Ottawa should be sure to visit the Parlia- ment Buildings. DAVID HARTWICK, Grade VI The topic I have chosen today is What I Would Like to be When I Grow Up. When I grow up I would like to be a doctor because doctors have interesting jobs and they are always busy. I would like to own my own hospital and things like that. To be a surgeon it would be necessary to have had every contagious disease, like scarlet fever, pneumonia, etc. I have always wanted to see inside of a person. I'm also not afraid of blood as some people are. When they see a deep cut they faint. There is another reason why I want to be a doctor. It is that I would have a 1962 con- vertible Cadillac. CLIFFORD BOLAND Grade 6 MODERN CONVENIENCES I chose the topic of Modern Convenien- cesl' because I think you all should know how lucky we are. For instance, think of the air- plane. Long ago, when people travelled, there were long portages, wild animals to beware of, and Indians were always near. Now we should be thankful for it, but when a plane is delayed for a few minutes, people get angry. Sometime when you hear someone getting angry about that, remind him how long it would take him to get to his destination in the earlier years. But my problem is, will tra- vel ever be faster and more comfortable? HALFORD WILSON Grade VI
