Seaforth -- Ontario I'urQi� Fecleration (34 Recaps Maritime Tour Our two weeks holiday to the Maritimes included a visit to Upper Canada Village and also a tour of the R. Saunders Hydro Electric Station at Cornwall. The drive along the St. Lawr- ence River to, St. Simeon was very nice and it was interest- ing to see the freighters sail- ing up the river. We saw as many as six ships at one point. A three-hour tour of the city of Montreal by bus, Which in- cluded a visit to Notre Dame Church, was interesting. An- other tour of historic Quebec City took us to the Plains of Abraham and also to the point where General Wolfe led . his army up a steep bank at night to defeat Montcalm. At this point the people of Quebec erected a monument in honor of both Wolfe and Montcalm, and this is the only monument of its kind in the world. We crossed the St. Lawrence River at Riviere-du-Loup and entered the province of New Brunswick. This province is re- ferred to as the picture prov- ince of Canada. The scenery along the St. John River Valley is wonderful and this valley is often referred to as the "Rhine" of America. Fire Prevention Week October 7th to October 13th around the Cabot Trail and here the scenery is unsurpassed. We will never forget the Mar- garee Valley. Called on Eliza- beth Le Fort — Canad's su standing "Artist in Woof Miss Le Fort can duplicate any col- or picture so finely that it will be mistaken for an oil paint- ing. A picture of our Prime Minister, Mr. John Diefenbaker, was on display. The Alexander Graham Bell Museum was also an interesting place'to see. We drove through the town of Springhall, N.S., where a mine disaster a year ago claim- ed the lives of -114 men. We in- quired about conditions in the town' and were informed that the mine was completely aban- doned and the site of it levelled with a bulldozer. Two new in- dustries have located in the town and, a new million dollar hospital is being built there, and also a million dollar school. Prince .Edward Island is a very beautiful province, full of rural charm and dotted' with neat farms and well -painted buildings. It is referred to as the unspoiled vacation province and some 750,000 vacationers visited there last year. It is 'noted for lobster fishing' and it is quite a treat to taste lobster for the first time. ' Agriculture is the main pur- suit of the 100,000 people that populate the province and the rich red`loam soil of the island makes it ideal to produce heavy yields of top quality potatoes. We called at the farm of Lin- coln Dewar, president of P.E.I. Federation of Agriculture. His daughter,,Joyce, acted as guide arid showed us around their nice 200 -acre farm and other points of interest nearby. The people are interested in horse- Onethe world, which is1,284 fec long. Crossed the Canso Cause- way into Cape Breton and drove of the things that par- ticularly fascinated, us was the. Reversible Falls at St. John. At this point you can see the water flowing down the falls to the ocean when the tide is out, and when, the tide comes in the water rises and completely cov- ers the falls. Regardless of when you view this point, you see it at a different stage. The Magnetic Hill at Monc- ton is another point of interest. Here you can drive your car down a hill an dwhen you get to the bottom, shut the motor off and the car will coast up the hill again. The Tidal Bore is another point of interest and it is quite a thrill to see this giant wave come up the river from the Bay of Fundy. A visit to this province would not be complete without seeing Fundy National Park. We spent the night at this beautiful park. It offers much to a vacationer, such as scenic drives, golf course, heated swimming pool, dining room, neat and inviting cabins. Spent Sunday afternoon with Mr. and. Mrs.' Harry Vog- an.. ' Nova Scotia is' also a very beautiful province. As you en- ter it at Amherst you are greet; ed and welcomed by the piper at a beautiful flower garden. A tour cif Halifax and a view of the harbor from the Citadel was very nice, A drive through the land of Evangeline was in- teresting, as well as the Anna- polis Valley, which is well known for apples and fruit. There •are many covered bridges in the Maritimes and we crossed the longest one in the world, which 1,284 feet long. Crossed the Canso into Cape Breton and drove it Penny for Your Lile, Lady? A penny and electricity are pretty important. The lady knows -that the penny will buy enough electricity to cook her lunch.- But what she doesn't know is that if she puts the penny in the fuse box she stands t� fry herself—permanently. ' Only one thilig should go in that box—i fuse. And the proper size for the ordinary circuit is a 15. Never, never, never use a 30. - If all the ladies of the land (and, for that matter, the gentlemen, too) realized the deadliness of "over -fusing" there would be less need of this advertisement for fire prevention in Canada.

It is a pleasure to motor on this straight ,,and beautiful highway. The •crops were good in Quebec and the Maritimes, but due to a late spring and a wet, cold summer; harvesting was only beginning when we left there on September 8. Many farms are quite mod- ernized as they are here, with 'stable cleaners, combines and hay balers, and many farmers were busy haling when we left for home. We used the ferry four times on our trip. The large -ferry could take 70 railway cars at one time in the crossing from New Brunswick to P,E.I., and automobiles on the upper deck. The motels and cabins where we spent the nights were every- thing that one could wish for. Our homeward drive took us to Bar Harbor and on to Des- ert Island, which is the most beautiful island in America. One could spend many days at this point. As we drove through the State of Maine, . we saw many rice farms with neat - painted buildings. The drive through the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the Adirondacks of New York State was interesting and scenic. We crossed Lake Cham- plain by ferry and this 15 -mile boat ride .saved us 85 miles of motoring. We drove through the. fruit growing district from Rochester to Niagara Falls and here we saw many acres of grape vines and 'apple orchards. VisitPoints of Interest In Eastern Canada , Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Ireland, Wingham,.have recently return- ed' from a 15 -day tour of the Maritime Provinces. As presi- dent of Huron , Federation of Agriculture, Mr. Ireland was in- terested in farming progress, and especially in a Co-op pack- ing plant near Halifax. He has kindly ,prepared a report of his tour for publication here. 'One of the highlights of our two weeks' vacation by motor through the NlartimeS Provinces 'was to meet Douglas Curtis, president of the new Nova Scotia Co-operati e Packing Plant, and to betaken on a conducted tour through this new and modern' million dollar plant. Mr. Curtis is sincerely inter- ested in the welfare of the small farmer, and in this pro- vince, farms are small. 1VIost farmers have a small number of dairy type cows and thus the quality of the livestock they have to offer does not come up to the quality of the cattle offered to the market by most Ontario farmers. They market from seven to 15 head of cattle per 'year and being small units they were unable to bargain and obtain the highest possible price for their livestock, but sold them to drovers who made good profits. Since the new plant has been built they are sending their livestock direct to the plant and are receiving up to 30 and 40 dollars per head more for their cattle. There are about 101000 farm- ers in Nova Scotia and 70 per cent of these are members of the co-operative. There are also 500 members who are non - farmers. The necessary funds to build this plant were raised in a very short time, and this new and modern plant was built and began processing livestock within a year. As we were conducted through this new and modern one -storey plant, I was much impressed with the efficient manner in which the processing of the beef was done. They slaughter hogs, cattle and Iamb and process,. package and deliv- er to the trade. They have no difficulty in obtaining a market for their product, It is all con- sumed in the province. The plant has a capacity to handle 225 cattle per day and about 700 ,hogs daily. When sufficient local Supplies are not available to keep the plant at full pro- duction, dressed beef is im- ported from Western Canada. Mr. Curtis is also •a farmer and feeds some 300 hogs. All feed is imported from Western Canada and although they re- ceive a substantial freight al- lowance, feed is 20 per cent more expensive in Nova Scotia than itis here in Ontario. •Mr. Curtis said that all people were. enthusiastic about the success of the plant, as they realize that by improving the financial position of the farmer everyone . else will be prosperous. Mr. Curtis.. was quite . satisfied that this plant would show a profit at the end of the second -year.. This , wonderful achievement certainly proves what can be done when 70 per cent of the farmers stand together. In On- tario, ntario, where we have close to' 80,000 hog producers and thu- sands of beef producers and the finest farm land in North Am- erica, it should be easy for the farmers here in Ontario to raise the necessary funds for several plants. A scientist rushed madly in- to the control room of the mis- sile center and proudly announr sile centre and proudly an? nounced a new discoverq. "Men," he shouted, "there are women on the- moon! We shot a communications rocket up there and got a busy signal."
