A lesson in the value of preserv-
ZM natural beauty is written
plainly across Nova Scotia's 21,-
000 square miles which retain an
old-tim,e charm not to be found 10
as great a degree anywhere else
in Canada.
Three-quarters of the province
remain forest clad, literally web-
bed with rivers and lakes; the
eternal Atlantic, and the mighty
tides of tate Bay of Fundy lap its
sun -kissed shores; a wise pro-
gramme of fish and game protec-
tion ensures sport for years to
come, an inexhaustible supply of
salmon from the ocean affords the
world's best fishing in the coastal
rivers each year.
The remaining One-quarter of
the province Is a, beautiful blend -
Inc of sleep§ farmland, bustling
cities, and secluded resorts, toned
by the mellowness of age.
The provinee is rich itt historic
siles, which, because of their
association with the early days of
the Continent, are of peculiar In-
terest to visitors. Annapolis Royal,
Fort Anne, and the fortress of
Loutaburg are among the rare -
fully preserved places where im-
portant pages of history were
written, The Park at Grand Pre
stows the land of. Lrtngfellow'a
lvangeiine as it was In the days
of the Acadians,
Nova Scotia has stilt further
apneals to the visitor—good rail-
ways, modern .roads, and splendid
hotels where provision hag been
made for all types of summer
sport: 01 these hotels, the best
known are The Pines at Digby,
open. from June 24 to September
14; Cornwallis Inn at Kentviile,
open all year; and Lakeside Inn
at Yarmouth, open from .lune 28
to September 8.
