NEW YORk--Since I have been

course of this have been amazed
by two things. The first is why
busy people In any town will take
time off from their businesses to

to him. ! have enjoyed it very
much. but ] still can't see why
they bother to do 1t.
The second amazing thing is that
people will never believe you when
you tell them the absolute unvar-
nished truth about war. and they
think you are either pulling gag.
or else are different from normal
people in your reactions.
And by that l mean this. A very
bright gin reporter got on the train
at q junction to ride into town with
me. and among other questions she
asked me this: what. Mr.. White.
was your most memorably unplea-
SAINT experience during your So
journ in Europe?"
So I thought very hard and
answered very truthfuIly and
seriously. "Bcing bored to
death while In Rumania." And
then I went ON TO tell her
about how hard II was travel

countries where everybody was

Naxis would come In. and none
Of them liked the Germans ut
all. but they tried TO be very

them out, which Of course II
never did.
II was hard. because / knew all
the terrified politeness and the
scrupulous neutrality were going
to be completely useless. and 40. for
that matter. did they: but they did
not know what else to do.
Going through country after
country where people are constant

with their money-whether to ship

would be unpatriotic. or to leave 1t

would be silly-living and moving
through these haunted capital

here, as l tried to enter at Ma

gratifying reason that certain
Canadian naval officer holds soft
spot in his heart for our boy
scouts, girl scouts, seascouts, girl

thereto.
I mention that. because later in
the day he cleared us he made

the book. We're all grateful for
the especial courtesy. of course.
Because international red-tape is
indeed plentiful hereabouts these
troubled days. I reckon all the dope
that potential pleasure-boaters can
acquire will come in handy.
Besides, 1t all sounds more COM
pick than it really is--jus don't
forget the first port Of call must
be either Victoria or Vancouver.
