A "THE •RAMBLER" This week •The Ramble'r wishes to take you. through that part of the province of Nova Scotia which leads you, south from. Truro the great crossroads of the prov- ince to the Annapolis Valley. Most of you. maybe haven't paid much attention to the matter but its a pretty good het you're we ar xnngg 'a suit of underwear 'made in Truro, if not now you already have for its a great place to have ° ; one made and' most everyone has had one from there ,at` sometime or another. Just like 'North Bay ' is to Ontario --railroads so Truro Is to Nova Scotia: If you ,want j to go anywhere you go there to start so today we head southwest to Windsor. That name's familiar to you readers; so, are. many of the names to be found in'the pro- . wince: TO add to the confusion you • Will find a duplication and even a greater multiple of the same name, but because they are in a different . county they get away with it. It is,therefore write influential element, . is' largely Scotch and, since the Scotch were. always limited in the names they used it is quite understandable why the duplication occurs:!, Well now, we were headed for Windsor. The route keeps close" to the shores of the Bay of Fundy. Of course everybne knows this is the, place. where .the highest. tides in the world exist. At one point they rise and fall twenty eight feet. This of course • is, where a narrows exists and .the tremendous pressure by the larger body of water following up, causes the extreme tidal condi- tion. • . I had the pleasure while en - route to have 'as my travelling cornpanion the Capt. • of the Pro- vast,,who is in Charge of embark- ation work on the Alantic region. He was a most interesting in- dividual. His conversation could not but impress one of the im- portance of the sealed lips slo- gan, which I can assure you real- ly means something in this part 1.95 6Q7L SC.%maci, tG,243.. s onto say be _ told of the great. work being done,in a quiet man- lier, which is little appreciated i going or you may end- up' at the , wrong place. As you may- already know, the population that is the • • • by those whose lives are not in- fluenced by the -sea. Having arrived at Windsor we set our course eastward and thru the famous apple orchard dis:• trict-of the Province. It is a sight Tong . to be remembered tb see the ,hundreds of acres of apple trees in' blossom. ' These folk not only have .,..a beautiful valley, ,the farm build- ings were much better kept than in any area •so far Seen in the province which would indicate that it was a type° of farming which paid dividends. The sight reminded me of the Beaver Val- ley in • the Georgian Bay distriet. In the hearof this area we came to Ken:tville which is a' very beatt- tif ul place with "a lot of fine homes. I aril told that in peace time a blossoi'n week is held with great carnipvals ,up arid down the Valley. My journey took Me thru to Kingston and Middleton.
