ToRaiseMore Food
Farmers . raising war foods, supplying a11. kinds .of
products for export to the fighting fronts, may find iti,
necessary to borrow at the Bank to cover their extra
requirements.
It is the policy'.of.the Bank of Montreal, at all of its
branches, to co-operate at all times with fayners, and
especially at tlhe present time when their work is so
essential to the war effort. •

on • the ferry they are actttally
closer to the business section than
many who live • in the city. This
ferry is • one. of the• busiest insti-
tutions of • "its ' kinid -I:..-have ' -seen.
:According to figures of '1941 the
ferry service, handled over four
and one` -quarter million people
as well ` as over .five .hundred
thousand motor cars: This figure
under 'present -conditions Must be
almost •doubled. There ,are three.
units . `•which operate 'from - Dart -
which has three. -lanes, for motq;
vehicles ' and• will carry four hun-
dred -passengers.: Jokingly • this

credit some of the .finest ever

One cannot. • visit this :place.
without being impressed by the
large ,number of 'colored folk
Which are everywhere to be seen.

They also possess the very strong,
characteristics of . their - race both
in features as well' as in actions..
Quite' typical of .their race they
are content to be. the „ servants
to '.their fellowmen.. It ,:is quite
a. `common' sight to see them with
one ox hitched to 'a cart, two or
four -wheeled. , What .does .seern
so '.strange to one who'.' hasn't
seen ' much of oxen, is tha't''they
can sit on their wagon, and dir-
ect the animal through congested
traffic by; word of mouth and a
little , whip ,just as . effectively as
a horseman 'can guide his hoose
by the use of reins: --Dartmouth

the colored. folk were proud when
they had a local son receive his
commission as -a pilot ,officer.
Whatever, the reason the aver-
age serviceman, finds Dartmouth
people
people much more .congenial than
1Halifax, particularly outside , th:t
naval service. :
Dartmouth' claims the 'distine-'
tion ,of' being the home of ::the
Hon. J. W. Johnston, first pre-
mier of Nova Scotia ,and incident -
,ally the first in any part of the
British Empire overseas under
responsible government.' The
house still stands which he lived
in and' was built in 1840. Another
residence which housed one of
.Canada's. most eminent citizens
-was that of Hon. Joseph Howe,
one -of the Fathers of Confedera-
tion.
Present indications' are that
Dartmouth may enjoy - a period
of expansion 'partly due to the
permanent location of naval 'ser -
v ices which will continue in the
years following the war:
