In Canada

Having shaken the U. S. dust off his feet (TIME, Sept. 29), Lord Renfrew set foot on the soil of Canada.

Montreal. "God bless Eddie!" cried a lusty voice. The Baron raised his hat in acknowledgement. That was his informal welcome to Canada. He remained aboard his train and busied himself, between posings for camera men, in answering cables.

Ottawa. At the station he was greeted by Premier MacKenzie King and a crowd of several hundred. Said Renfrew to the Premier: "I had a most pleasant stay in the U. S. Everywhere I was given the finest hospitality and my wishes as to quietness and privacy were respected most assiduously. However, I am very glad to get back to Canada and feel at home again."

Winnipeg. Mayor Farmer, surrounded by a host of officials, met the Baron. He hurried to a squash racquets club, enjoyed a game with Colonel Arthur Sullivan, lunched at the Fort Garry Hotel and three hours after his arrival was speeding toward Calgary.

Calgary. Having completed a 2,700-mile journey, Renfrew alighted from his car and set foot in Calgary. After a stay of only a few minutes, he was driven to the E. P. Ranch near High River in view of the foothills of the Rockies.

E. P. Ranch. Attired in servicable khaki breeches, Stetson hat and an old tweed coat, Lord Renfrew expressed himself glad to be "at home." His first days were given over to inspecting the improvements which have been carried out on his ranch.

Rumors. It was rumored that the Baron would leave his ranch early in October in order to visit Jasper National Park in the Rockies, and Victoria. Starting his return trip about the middle of the month he will, it was said, "make short visits to several Canadian towns, including Toronto, before coming to Manhattan to catch the Mauretania on Oct. 22."
