Newspaper friends of Shrop-

those of Cheshire to greet us
with Mr. William Astle, 0.B.E.,

{of Stockport, who is president of

the Newspaper ‘Societv. ” After
our five hours’ railway run lunch
was welcome. There we were

with its chapter house and clois-

After a reception by the: mayor
and tea at the town hall, a fifty-
minute run brought us to Liver-
pool. .

“Here it was a ‘great and ane
pected pleasure to meet Dr. A
G. Price, medical health officer
of Victoria, B.C.;“who had been
attending’ a convention in the
city. The dinner, given at. the
Midland Adelphi Hotel by the

: Liverpool press, was a memorable
occasion. ©

The lord ‘mayor had:
behind. his chair ‘a gorgeously-
uniformed person whose office
was that of ' ‘taster’, Certainly
he had no need to complain that
night.

~ The. lord mayor (Me. ‘Arnold

told us that his only son. was a
citizen ‘of Vancouver, and that he
fjand the lady. mayoress, proposed
to visit him next year. ,
