MacNAMAItA Director, National Selective Service P.E,t E RAIW3LER" • I have been inspired to write on different occasions about Hal- ifax harbor. Sittiated as we are, overlooking it; there, are scenes which will long live,.in memory. Although it is 'a centre of active interest at all times;, recently there were . two major events of interest particularly to those who have dear ones, -in the naval ser- vice. When the news of the capitula- tion of • Italy came through, you should ,have seen and heard the excitement The i\lavy really let the map so far as the. Halifax area is concerned. Every, type of naval craft in the harbor started. on the stroke , of five to sound their whistles, horns, sirens what have you. If you have eve heard a warship's 'war -whoop that multiplied many times, will give you a little 'idea of the hul- labaloo. Of course everyone's heart was glad to have the news and it . wasn't long beforethe bank's fronting.. the harbor ` area were thronged with jubilant ,spec- tators. Everyone got in a celebra- ting mood and dance halls .and all other places of. entertainment. did a . land office business. However,_ "the "next day saw ryune resunu4rg"-h1 orH r - duties to pursue the war to that definite conclusion which is the wish andhope of ,everyone. The war, although favorable at &pres- ent, is far from being won. ,'As might\be expected Halifax work-• -men aid-workwomen have a very definite part in the creation of Canada's Navy. No doubt ere these Lines come before you,, you will have heard of the, launching. of--th- e -M Evac—the--first-desttroye" of the Tribal class to be built in Canada. Itwas an epic in •Can- adiafn industrial and naval his- tory! Yesterday 'its launching was another . gala event which hadd its setting in •the. famous Halifax harbor. • • . I. 'described the actual 'launch- ing of a freighter in another Eas- tern sea port in an earlier article: The method and .procedure of course would only be a dupli- cate if I were to attempt a des- cription. Being the important craft it ,'was, 'the ceremony of course was a little more elaborate and the lady to do the honors of christening was the wife of An= gus L. McDonald. At no time in the life of a 'vessel of any kind does it present, such an array of flags ' which addsmuch to the gaiety of the occasion. The significant facts around a launching' as I have come to see 'it are two -fold. The importance of the service , for which it was. constructed and the feeling of gratification and pride which is so manifest, among the_ laborers • whose energies created the craft. Unless you have had the oppor- tunity of nosing mound,, in one or two shipyards one has, very a &Me,nce .f vAth vit trzcaeJes blow torches, riveting hammers and cranes it is a veritable hive of industry. Artisans of many trades play their part under the guidance of skilled engineers who may be seen dashing • about with blue prints by the score..After .a year and a half of labors expend-, ed on the - one .tinit there develops an attachment' bordering .on de- votion for the creation; although' a thing of steel. One' cannot, live in a naval atmosphere such as' exists here without hawing - •an appreciation. of ' the importance of . such . ';a craft as - an asset to Canada's growing naval strength. Although afloat, it. will be some time yet, before the Micmac will plow the sea lanes to take its place among: the ' Other craft which have come, and gone fthru • the gates ;to the harbor. Warships of many Allied nat- ions frequent the port of Hall - fax. They have -guarded -the --con-- voys to the East` : under sealed orders'. Some',have returned many times `.while others ' never will. Some which have be -en fitted here- have erehave carried . the fray„to the far- off Mediterranean theatre of war :as well as to the: icy .'waters of Murmansk. . • Men . from these ships have come ashore in hundreds to rub shoulders with their brothers in arms. .e They are familiar sights around the shopping centres and restaurants. • They have• carried , off goods of varied uses •taking them back to sweethearts and loved ones across the sea. They tell strange tales of 'other .lands.., The men °df our own Navy • re - turn bringing little keepsakes of.. ribbon and ivory, bone or glass; all of which are assoeiated• °with the memories of other lands Bath= ered from the world's bazaars.
