OUR TRIP TO CANADA We started our trip to Canada from Bremen on December 7, 1951. Our ship, the Beaverbrae left the harbour at 5.30 p.m. It was very hard for me when I saw my school and many other well known places along the river. But I had to say ' good-bye to everything. At night we passed Brevenhaven, the last German city. Next morning, when I woke up, I felt very badly because the ship was swaying from one side to the other. So I went up to the deck to get some fresh air, but when I came there the railing was full of sick people. We left Germany on Friday and passed Eng¬ land on Sunday evening. We came so close to the coast that we nearly could shake hands with the people on land. We saw France to our left side only as a black strip in the hori¬ zon. Then we came to the Atlantic Ocean, and ♦■here the troubles began. It may be enough if AN INTERESTING HOBBY For those who are interested in starting a hobby, stamp collecting is an interesting one which will bring you much enjoyment. You can begin by buying a package of stamps or even taking them off old letters, and fas¬ tening them into an inexpensive stamp book With the ones that are left over, more can be obtained by trading with your friends. In no time at all you will find your collection growing bigger and better. 1 tell that we had a hurricane for nearly four days. From the big telegraph station to the dishes, everything was damaged. Shortly after that nearly all children got measles. But af¬ ter sixteen days of travelling across the wide ocean we landed in Saint John, N.B. The C.P.R trains were waiting for us at the port. Then ' ‘the trip oh land began. Hours and hours ran by and we only saw forests to the left and right. They seemed to have no end. But when we passed a small town everybody was hanging out of the windows, glad to see a few people or houses. We all were a little frightened because we were not used to such a loneliness. On December 26 we came to Winnipeg. There were only few minutes left to say ' good-bye ' to our friends. Then we went out of the train with many hopes for our future and better opp¬ ortunities to come forward in the new home¬ land. UTE BAENSCH -- BOOM 28, GRADE 8 An enlarged knowledge of history is gained by saving stamps, since many of them have fascinating pictures of historical people and places. There is a set of Canadian stamps which have pictures of Confederation. Also there are pictures of such famous explorers as Jaques Cartier and John Cabot. The most fascinating thing about stamps is their different markings and color. If you look carefully at some stamps, you may find defects. These often increase the value of stamps. For instance, one stamp may have ' postage ' written on it and another may not Due to this error, the latter stamp will be worth much more than the other. The different tints and shades, also add a special gleam to stamp collecting. Stamp collecting is rather an inexpensive hobby and will provide many hours of enjoyment if properly kept up. My suggestion to you is to start, and you will find that stamp collecting is an enjoy¬ able and profitable hobby. MARY ANN UHRYN -- ROOM 22, GRADE 8
