Converts Hoine
The native of Ontario, Can-
ada, 'who finally .chose to set-
tie 'in Ontario, Calif., 'convert-
ed the home :pito a hospital for
the American Navy in London
during World War I.
While accompanied on an
in'sp'ection 'tour of the home
by Lady Herbert Hubert, wife
of the British Ambassador to
the United States, Miss • Taylor
was told by the owner, Mrs,
Calp'tain Guest; formerly Amy
Phipps. of Chicago, that one
s' u d t e was unavailable for
showing as "Winston Churchill
was still hi his room." The
then Lord of the Admiralty
had not yet gone to the war
offices.
Churchill's bedroom was
converted into, a Sitting room
far the nurses and his dress-
Mg room became Miss Tay-
lor's bedroom. The hospital on
Park Lane was "the pride and
joy of our. Admiral Simms,"
Miss Taylor declares.
The graduate of. St. Luke's
Hospital in New York City went
independently to England in
Marah of 1917 "to do my part."
A Briti's'h subject at the time,
she joined the British Red Cross
and was shortly given ohharge of
a hospital at Shipstone on the
Stour, near Stratford on Avon.
Transfers
When America entered the
war, Mass Taylor transferred
to the American Red Cross. She
was sent to Liverpool, where
she turned the home of the
Mayor into a hospiital for the
Ameridan Army. It was in June
of 1918 that she converted the

In his RSVP Sir Thomas
wrote: ". . . I never decline
any. function at which the tea
trade is encouraged, I am al-
ways out for business and if I
can combine pleasure with bus-
iness, as in this case, so much
the better."
Of her acquaintance with
"these very fine and cultured
people," Miss Taylor proudly de-
clares "'it was a great • honor to
have enjoyed their gracious
friendship and hospitality."
When the first American
transport was sunk off the Is-
land of Isley, Miss Taylor was
there to assist the 190 'survi-
vors, who she said, were wash-
ed ashore on the beach, while
the bodies of the other 200
crew members were smashed
against the high cliffs.
Upon returning to the Unit-
e. States at the close of the
war, she found the asiatic flu
epidemic at its height and im-
mediately offered her services.
At Waterbury,' Conn., she and a
New York doctor converted a
Masoxi'ic Temple into an eraser'-
gency hospital in 30 hours,
where they cared for over 300
desperately ill patients, For her
outstanding work in combating
the epidemic, Miss Taylor re-
ceived a letter of appreciation
from the governor.

Diary of a Va
Maritime Meanderings
It is possible, after travelling
by rail to the' eastern provinces,
to make reservations with a co-
mpany in Truro, Noun Scotia,
which specializes in limousine
tours. These trips, conducted by
vacationing .piyincipals of various
elementary schools and second-
ary schools, are delightful jour-
neys by oar over the rooterstic
trails of a province which con-
tinues to gain a reputation for
startling, natural beauty. What
gives'. one elven more confidence
in the prospect of a pleasant
holiday is the fact that Nova
Scotia tours are endorsed • by
CN.
There are three tours to ch-
oose from, mine being the Cabot
Trail and Prince Edward Islami.
The hotels and restaurants
(which are all included in the
price of the tour) without ex-
ception proved to be excellent..
We seemed to have barely got-
ten on our way from our ren-
dez-vous in the Nova Scotian
Hotel in Halifax, when our
guide and driver, while skirting
the shores of Bras . d'Or Lake,
was teiling us of an annual Mit-
Mac spiritual mission that lasts
for five days on Chapel Island.
The Occasion. is the feast of St.
Anne, when they commemorate
Abbe Maillard, the beloved
French priest who lived among
their forefathers more than 200
years ago and who brought the
statue of St. Anne with him
Froin France. His greatest con-
tribution was the devising of
manuscript hieroglyphics. This
journey was replete with such
legends, all recited at the ap-
propriate time by our courier.
Each of the 1Vfarri,tisne provin-
ces has a slogan. Nova Scotia's
''is "Canada's Ocean Play-
ground". And indeed it is, for
there are 4,600 miles of seenie
coastline. We took several of
the winding, off highway trails
to discover some special scenic
spot beloved by a driver who
knew his province by heart.

I find it difficult not to use
superlatives • while reminiscing
albout these lovely trips it has
been my privilege to take since
I made travelling not only my
avocation, but in many respects,
my career. For it is from these
delightiful experiences that I
have found the inspiration for
this. column. If I seem overly
enthusiastic while reviewing
vacationing possibilities in our
own country it is, because I
feel. Canadians have mussed so
much joy and beauty by looking
to farther field's for their hol-
iday pleasure. I believe, after
having left our shores on ac-
easion to explore resorts in
other courntiiies, that we have
equally beautiful scenery and as
many interesting legends and
tourist attractions as it is pos-
sruble for a young country to
acquire.
The Editor of Nova Scotia
News Letter has it pegged right
when a outline under a magnif-
icent
agnificent view roads, "The Cabot
Trail is a spectacular. drive 'et-
ched on the hiighltands of Cape
Breton. It provides one of eas-
tern North America's most
scenic drives". The tour also
proviides a night''s stay at Ket-
tle Lodge,a summer hostelry
where guest cottages nestle :in
a grove of silver birches and tall
pines surround the main lodge.
When you see Old Smokey, a
miniature mountain in the high-
l'and' range, emerge from a mor-
ning mist you know you have
chosen a never -to -be -forgotten
holiday tour.
