The guest speaker at theTrinity
:Club meeting held on November ii,
at ` the home of Mrs, Maynard
Carrie was R. S,ddici;, "Cent-
urY louse", , Mr. Roddick was in-
trodu'eedd by M.rsi LeRoy Poth: He
had been bora and educated in
London, Ontario, but went to Nova
Scotia the fall of 1939.
Mra Roddick, who Was a'splendid
speaker, began his talk by descri'b -‘'
ing. Nowt Scotia as an almost
l?e piece of land, jut-
ting
Shaped'ut-.
ting out into the Mantic Oceari.
He explained the effect -of the
winds and tides -on it: It yis be -
sieved that Nova Scotia has. risen
and fallen .•into the ocean some
60 -odd times in its geological hist-
ory, .That accounts for the good
coal mines of today.
Then the speaker pointed out
that the settlenient of Nova Scotia
was different to any other prov-'
ince, b...etauSe whole communities
would come .out on a ship and
build their' own community in tkie
new hind. The Scottish settled in
the north and Cape Breton; French
in the lowlands and the Germans
in the ,district of Lunenburg. It is
known that 2;000 persons from the
northof9England ea;ne out at the
same time and settled Halifax.
They each,still cling much to their
own' country's customs.
Until the war in 1939 most of
the plowing was done by oxen..
When Mr. and Mrs. Roddick 'went
there in that year they found it
still • "a very storied Iand', knee-
deep in history," "
Homes often looked quite shabby
on the outside but- very beautiful'
'inside, built with high ceilings,
Many contained beautiful china
and mahogany furniture that had
comefrom theIndies Europe.
pe.
Mr. Roddick told of eating at
the Green Tree Inn where, if what'
you desired .was not on the menu,
the manager himself would person-
lly prepare it for you, They learn-
ed later. that people came from
hundreds of Miles to_ eat at the
Green .-Tree •1nn. They v sited
Wedgeport, one of the places where
they saw fishermen bring Th tuna
eight and ten .feet long, and some-
times. larger.
Treasure Hunt
The Roddicks visited Oak Island
at different intervals and each
time found a different company
digging for the Oak Island treas-
ure The ; speaker explained ' that
many years ago men found an im-
pression in the ground, "started -to
dig, and after ten feet dame to
oak plank, They Jigged "until 30
feet .or so, and ..found oak planks
every ten feet, „This hole wasleft
for a century or more, then an-
other generation digged to 75 feet,
and .still found oak planks. ;
Later more modern' equipment
was brought in, andat about 120
feet they .found a cement slab.
They Used a:star drill to penetrate
the cement and a bit of sheepskin
parchment was brought up, - also
three geld links. Then dynamite
was used to `blast ;tI)e cement slab
wand the ocean rushed in. Those
engaged in, the' exploration then
.proceeded to try , and- close the
water out. Sums,' mounting to at
least one half million dollars• have
been spent on work in the hole,
.and people are still exploring th-
`mystery. -
Mr. rtoddick went to Nova
Scotia as district manager of the
Famous Players chain of theatres
and at his retirement in 1954 he
was manager for the whole Mari-
tinie district consisting of Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince
Edward Island and Newfoundland.
He gave a brief outline of ex-
periences trying -to keep good or-
der in a packed house of 2,000 in

charge of the Rev,••Peter Renner.
Twenty-three veterans, and some
active members representing men.
and women of all services . paraded
from the ' Albion Hotel to the
Cairn. They were led by the Guid-
es, Brownies, Cubs and Scouts
with their leaders, all in uniform.
The colour party was, Cathy Wal-
lis, bearer; supported by Bitty

Mr. Renner preached on "Peace"
basing his remarks tin. the text:
"And they shall be peacemakers."
He pointed out that there were
two ways of . 'obtaining. peace.
Sometimes stern methods, needed
to be used when peace through
kindness and gentleness failed. To
illustrate his poir%ts,,he made fre-
querit reference to World' War I,
'He • told his hearers that his
grandfather in 1910 received a
German newspaper from New
