When we look- ed out of our window :next :morning at daybreak, we were going through h a very wild uninhabited part of Quebec with .purple mountains ,rising ` above the mist in the distance. :Whether they: were the White or Green Moun- tains by name, we were not able> to find out. Every few minutes we would pass a lake among -the wooded hilts and we realized that we were passing through the haunts of bear and moose. Some of us were early out in the ob- servation car, on the rear, platform en- joying every moment of this glorious morning amid such wonderful natural beauty. We did not delay when the first call came -for breakfast in the din- ing -car. The C. P. R. surely knew how hungry we were, too, and served us up most amazing meals. ' Durin the• forenoon we crossed the boundary yline between Quebec and Maine and were travelling almost all day across Maine. For the most part thescenery was the same as that we had passed through in the early morn- ing, mountains in the distance, lakes. and woods.beside us, our train climb- ing continually. At one time, we stop- ped to have another. engine •put• on in the' rear to push over the divide. Oc- casionally, we passed through, a town of some size, Greenville, Brownville (apparently colors ran riot ire the nam- es,) but the other places seemed to be inhabited mostly by summer visitors or those who love hunting. As the train wound' along the shore of Moose- head Lake, we wished we moight stop here at least a few days. ``But soon we reached the boundary of Maine a- gain and we were in New Brunswick and before the afternoon was far gone had arrived at Fredericton. ' Here, at the provincial capital of New Brun's wick we had our first taste of the hos- pitality of the people of the Maritime provinces which we were to Iearn 'be- ' fore we were, through cannot be. out- - done anywhere, .There were autorno- biles'to meet us at the train and take us fora drive over the city, bringing. us back to a royal supper in the base - meet of the Methodist church, where we were the guests of the Board . of Trade. From there eve were taken back to our train that we might pre- pare for the evening reception in the Parliament Buildings given us by the Lieutenaixt-Governor and'the Premier.

A good many of us 'were too anxious to go to' our sleeping quarters: to •re- main at the dance which followed, but we .stayed -long enough to shake hands with the rulers of the province. Fredericton'is a nice little city with a beautiful,.sitCration on°the St, John river, and with parks along the shore arta". many fine buildings; but .1 am afraid many orthe ladies of the party will have very confused memories of it. For some reason we had become possessed of an idea that'we must put on appropriate costumes' for every oc casian, so every moment between acts that -afternoon and eveningwas occu- pied in changing clothes,, and a good deal of the remaining time our Minds were busy with :the thoughts of how the change was going to be accome. plished in a small dessingg'-room in a sleeping -car used commonly by all the ladies of the car, ` The results howev- er were quite wonderful, -and I think. we all felt well satisfied . that we had "shown the world" how it could be done, and decided that ,we wouldn't try it any more during the succeeding - days; Everything Considered it was'a weary crowd of us sought our berths that evening. Next day at noon we arrived in St. aohn and, we were conveyed at once in street -cars to: Paradise, no iessl Sonde of tie. found' that we had a' few moments left ori earth, .and that;. all; the main business places were right aaaund the asorner, so we chose to daily in the fifteen cent store and oth-. er places buying pleture post cards and small souvenirs before ascending, Pare adise is the name of h restaurant where the Mayor entertained us to a gorgeous luncheon.

'Our memories of St. John are therefore quite vivid. Next morning we left our C.P.R. train with great regret, to board a C; P,R. steamer' bound for Digbjr across' h .ofFundyin Nova Scotia. As the Bay v o it was Sunday ,we had a sort of Sab- bath feeling about our enjoyment. A service was held in the saloon conduc- ted by our clerical C.N.W.A. member, 'Rev, A. H. Moore of St. Johns, Que- bec. We were all anglican for once, and saw *hat church union might bee., Following the service, we spent most ladies separated.

The most interesting sight was the area which had been devastated by the terrible explosion during the war time. One has to see it to begin to comprehend the destruction that was wrought. A whole city laid fiat in one moment, and then burned over by the fires 'which followed,—not only houses and. business blocks, but factories and the, docks, and ail the appliances for lode ing and unloading ships !- Weejoined the men; in a visit to Dal- housie University where we lunched in Sherriff Hall, the new residence for;. ladies, This University was a revela- tion to a good many of. us; It wad', founded over bne hundred years ago, as an undenominational College and: has kept on as such through many vi- cissitudes. The same evening we were - entertained by Mayor Murphy, atthe Waegwaltac Club=-a'club of canoeists, (Continued on page 6.) riimeemeere=reseeezemeressimeasirete rrHERE were 1021 forest fires reported in Ontario 1. last season. The vigilance of the fire rangers kept 53 per dent. of these down to's size not exceeding five acres. But yet' the total -area buried was over 346,00 acres— equal to a strip of forest one mile wide from Toronto to Cochrane. , Of the total number, only 52 were lightning fires:' In other words, out of every 100 fires, 59 fires. were due to neatt's ting-elesszbess ` and 'were preventable. • Accordingly, the problem of forest protection ' t Ontario calls for the co-operation of the whole citizen- ship of the Province. If reasonable care be exercised. by everyone in the woods to prevent the start of fire, our, forests -will 'be safe. Railway officials, campers, pro'' speetors, lurr'iber firms, settlers, construction firms -w -all can help by being careful of fire in the woods, d' by ioiniiig hands with the press, the leaders of public opinion, and the business men of Ontario, inprompting educational propaganda to reduce forest fires.
