I never did manage to get to Andrew's at that time. but Fred and I are with him now for a few days. Another coincidence is that Andrew was a Nuffleld student in America three years ago on a DWTI. His stay in Canada was unfortun- did lot of knowledge in the U. S.A. about farming and con-

Thu have a herd of Ayrshire cattle totaling I'D. of which 110 are mlich cattle. They produce all their own rcughages and net aside approximately one hundred acres annually for the production of grass silage. The grass lands that saw there are ueeption- aliy ick and capable of produc- ing a heavy yield of silage. Mr. Gilmour uses a make of forage harvester. known as a silorator, costing about 8900. R is quite utilhctory. .except when the Iran is very damp and there has been some trouble with the knives disintergating on contact with stones.

Andrew mar.' d last November and he and his wife are living on Dechmont Farm. which they have recently acquired. He has formed a limited stock company with his brother with a total of about five hundred acres. known as A. and J. Hamilton East Kilbride. They started five years ago with a p. duction of about U gals. of milk and are today producing approximately 30. In another two years they envision a total production of nearly 500 gals. They also expect to carry nearly one animal unit per acre event- ually.

The daffodils are past their best but are still making a brave showing under the trees in the Botanic Gardens. Conservatories and Winter Gardens. Great West- er'a Road. The rhododendrons are just beginning to bloom and some of the earlier ones rare in almost full bloom. despite the un- seasonable weather and snow flurriea. The winter gardens con- tain a pool and many highly coloured orange pond fish. Apart from the pool the whole grass structure is almost a complete mass of bloom and foliage. much of which appears Tropical. Set here and there among the green- ery and colour are beautiful stat- ues ln gleaming white. adding much to its attractiveness.

Unfortunately the Municipal Buildings in George Square were closed to visitors when we arrived and only a portion of the building s as accessible to us. It is doubt- ful if there is a more beautifully appoint d interior in the British Isles. although Italian rriarhle may have been used more exten- sively in certain other buildings. I have been to numerous dances there. but have almost forgotten the details of the building but am hoping to refresh my memories soon.

"Solving crime is not nearly as romantic as books would have us believe" we were told by Chief Police Inspector Charles McNeil of the Glasgow Police Headquart- ers. when we visited him in his office at St. Andrew's Square. To catch a criminal is just plain ordinary hard work and don't let this fellow Fabian of the Yard as he calls himself or anyone else tell you otherwise." I had read Fabian's 'London After Dark” and it isn't difficult to figure out what the police think of that.

We had thought to spend only

quickly farther. I add that Mrs. MncKay has a siatl. who was the former Mayoresa of Birmingham and still another sister. wife of a clergy- man in Xelao. Most of us from the Kcnsington area know .MaeKay's singing. particularly '1 belong to Glasgow" which was mu better from will Pyfe him-

Fir-! to mac mu files. where we were shown how they are classified and indexed. a sys- tem which curiously enough orig- lnated In India. Then how finger- prints are taken on the scene of "IO Grimm We tried our own and spread on the red powder. which brought them out very clearly on the. surface of a white paper on which they were completely Invis- ible prior to the application of the Proper chemical. We then saw late a room filled with broken glass. hand bags and a miscellany of other items. most of them rub- bish. "Evidence to be used in cases coming up" he said. There was a long line of negatives hung up to dry on a line in one of the dark rooms. These were the police photos of the people arrested during the day. If the person brought to trial is acquitted and has had no previous criminal record. then these pictures are destroyed. otherwise they are carefully filed away.

We had a long converstatlon with the Chief Inspector about Inter-Continental police work and methods employed but when it came to telling us how espionage is handled and the counter meth- ods used. he could tell us little or at least would tell us little.

Ho obtained the key to the Police Museum. explaining in de. tall the numerous items displayed there. Of special interest are the bank notes counterfeited by the German Government in an effort toiwreck the economy of Great Britain. the latter part of World War II. These notes are remark- ably good. as good as photography can make them. but to the expert they lack the detail present in the real thing. other efforts shown in the cases varied from good to amateurish and could easily be detected as fraudulent in many cases. One rather ingenious chap had printed the face of the notes on this paper and glued the two places back to back with the faces out. Apart from a slight discrepancy in color and the lack of a fine aluminum strip, which he drew in with a pencil they appear quite authentic. not for- getting tlie fine lines which were issing also. Still another had carved dies for stamping out bank notes in slate. With ability like these slate stamps showed, he had clearly missed his calling when he entered the criminal field as he might have been a genius. instead of doing time. In the field of ballistics we ex- amined cartridges under high powered lenses and were told that no two guns leave the same imprint on the bullet, Sometimes it is in the rlfllng. sometimes the way the barrel is worn and many other reasons enter in. to aid the expert and catch the criminal. At siiother table a paper was being examined. which bore

The police have a book in their museum bearing the signatures of most of the Royal Family since the thirties. that is to say the more recent members. or the ones in whose lifetlma we have lived.
