between Moncton and St John:
Although inland some distance
frim the Bay of Fundy, tie river.
is navigable for some fair ' sized
craft to this. point. Ofparticular
interest is the Tidal Bore which
is one of the 'phenomena„ of rid
-
tire to be found here.. The bore
is the forerunner of the advanc-
ing tide which rushes in from the
Bay of Fundy twice every °24
hours. The tide rises . and .falls
approximately sixteen feet at this
point . and it is met 'interesting
to, -see the . river running ,up-
stream and then : in an hour or
sb, seeing•it going the other way.

Usually one. • associates the
dykes with Holland or Denmark.
But right here in Canada may be
found • cases where man hasn't

.sea .of some of his, or should I
say her's., Anyway the dyke lands
do •exist. .The main crop . is: hay
or pasture since there is a dif-
ficulty of drainage,,oto consider.
The dyking is done by a .very'
simple process. Usually the• bank
of the deepest part, of the river
is taken as the ,border line for the
dyke land and a bank of earth
is thrown up ranging .from six
to ten feet in height. Occasionally
where water flow might eat out
the , bank posts or planks are
used to protectthe action of the
tide water in the river. At inter-
vals ditches are dug to. drain this
land which naturally is quite
level. Where they come to the
dyke there is a swing gate made
of heavy plank Which is -hinged
at the top. These act as a check
valve so that When IOW tide is
on, the water from the dykelartds
drains out; .then at high tide the
gates close holding the water out.
By this simple method the drain-
age is taken care of.

Canadian attack teams are famous for their skill and daring:
As raw recruits, they entered R.C.A.F. Training Schools. They
emerged within a few happy and • exciting months as trained
specialists—. clear-eyed and competent.
Every member of a bomber crew is an expert at hisown job,
yet at the same time part of a closely -knit, smooth -working
team. Happily, too, the air training and technical knowledge
possessed by these fighting comrades of the skies will open
up golden opportunities to -them later in civil life. .
