Windsor Castle fCl01Zfl'1ZZl6'df70Hl. Page 375 In one case is a famous shield which was presented to Henry VIII by Francis I of France, and also the musket ball which killed Lord Nelson at Trafalgar. Passing through the Grand Reception Room, we come at last to the Great Throne Room. Along the sides are the Knights of the Garters' Stools, each covered with velvet of garter blue and the floor is carpeted with the same colour. Next to the main door is the Gilt Throne under a red velvet and gilt canopy. In this room are an English coin cabinet, two French cabinets and other furnishings. As our visit is only a brief one, we must hurry through the next rooms. They are the Ante-Throne Room and the Waterloo Chamber. We pause for a minute to look at the tremendous mahogany table, which is used at state functions. It seats one hundred and fifty persons. In the Grand Vestibule we catch a glimpse in one of the cases, of a gold embroidered surcoat and stole worn by George IV at his corona- tion, and the crimson and blue robes which he wore when entering Hanover to be crowned King. This completes the tour of the State Apartments, and we make our exit through the King John Tower, one of the oldest and least altered parts of the Castle. I am sorry that we cannot go into detail about the rest of the outbuildings, but our visit must end, and we leave with a very great respect for things that are old, and for the people who help to preserve and cherish them. interview fC'01lf'i1ZltEd from Page 32J Where did' they come from so quickly? I gasped, They just seemed to appear from nowhere. That is the kind of service you get from the rangers, Kirk said, with undisguised pride in his voice. If it had not been for the rangers your camp site would have been a mass of charred timber when you arrived this summer. The Ere did come pretty close, I answered, re- membering the great strip of burned forest which separated our camp from the road. How did you keep it from burning right to the lake? 'LWe dug trenches and forced it back into the swamp with the aid of chemicals and water from the lake. As my companions were anxious to return to camp for lunch, I reluctantly said good-bye to my host and descended the steep iron ladder. My visit with a man who holds one of the most responsible positions in Ontario, had inspired in me a desire to assist in the preservation of one of Ontario's great est assets-her forests.

Behind Prinfel-I5 Ink Cforzfhzzaed from Page 23, At the age of five the young lad went to school and got his first 'black eye.' He came home crying, expecting sympathy. But here was none. ASCII., said his Dad, 'you're not a man if you can't take it.' In High School, the bruises of rugby were marks of glory and to the Dad, they were reasons for pride. Physically, the boy headed the list, mentally, he headed it with three fold scholarships. That meant College! Laurie's Voice was tired. He wanted to be a success, to graduate with the highest honours possible-for his Dad. And yet, to leave him back home and start a new life alone, was a hard pill to swallow. For a fellow who has had a pal for fifteen years, some one he can talk to when he wants to talk, with whom he can sit and be completely, silently happy when he is less in- clined to speak, it was like taking the solid earth from under his feet. But he settled down and worked hard. Yet when the holidays came at Christmas he was quite ready to go home. Excited1y, in the train, he checked over the things he had to tell his Dad, the things he had to show him. He remembered his present-he had worked at nights for money of his own to buy it. Brown leather slippers, fleece-lined, and a rust- coloured bath robe of soft, silky stuff that felt nice on-he knew because he had tried it to see if it would lit-were in the case at his feet. He walked from the station all tingly inside. The house was dark but it wasn't surprising for he was not expected. The coals on the hearth beckonf ed him in and seemed to say 'he won't be longl' Laurie took a deep breath. His face was drawn and haggard. Little more than twenty-tive minutes later, a car stopped before the gate and the boy stood up, his body taut, his eyes excited. Steps sounded dully in the hall. He made as if to speak. His eyes widenedg his heart thumped painfully, his head was tight. The little group sat tensely, their eyes riveted on the speaker. They brought the still figure in, laid it on the chesteriield. The doctor covered the wounded face with his scarf while the boy stared unbelieving, scarcely breathing. He hardly heard the Doctor's words of sympathy. The tight band around his head brokeg he called in vain to that still form, and fell on his knees, his face hidden on the broken body. Yeah! Sounds like a lot of trashf' Paul broke the painful silence with a sneer. Laurie, his eyes unspeakably sad, his throat un- bearably tight, turned slowly and looked at him. He smiled crookedly and said, He was my Dad. Page Eightyjive
