THE AMBLER
Halifax is oneof those places
destined to be a sea-fareing cen-
tre as nature was most kind in
•affording the location one of the
finest .natural harbors in the
world. Situated here, 'as I have
been for 'the past few weeks, the
. changing - panorama of ,floating
steel is most interesting Few har-
bors in the world see . a greater
variety 'of crafts.
The history of world, shipping
would not. e complete without.
the inclusionof the life and act-'.
ivities of the Nova Scotian ':sea -
men. Their .part is legend even in
the..days of the old sailing vessels.
"Even: today seamen still look with
pride back on the days . when
some of the wpridls "finest in.
sailing vessels were made right
here. It was naturaal that the
Men to operate them should come
Brom the .district. Thus has grown
up a cornmunity whose lives are
wrapped up in the activities of
the sea.
Some of the world's largest
ocean shipping companies had
their beginnings, in Halifax, al-
though their present "headquart-
.ers may now be located else
where.
Many men today have recol-
lections of Halifax. Unfortunate-
ly they haven't very pleasant
recollections, "a cndition' which
can be readily understood when
,you make an analysis of the sit-
uation. •No matter" if you arrive
from the sea or arrive by train
your point of ' arrival is 'in the
midst of the oldest section , of
the city. There ,are several • fish
•;;: packing plants near. There is no
need to have. --signs advertising
the fact as -the aroma ,permeates
the district. I can asssure you
that. this experience is one you'
wouldn't forget and doesn't, im-
press one very favorably.
The type of house achitecture,
as well as the neglected condi-
tion, are evidences of the fact
that these homes have been in
service + as such for many years
but are in appearance very de-
pressing: Irrespective of the mode
of travel in ali„probability • you
will arrive very tired so natur-
ally arriving in. this setting gives
you a 'very. poor in -pression.
One who .takes a keen interest
in human nature has plenty .of
scope in Halifax. I know of .no
place Which has a greater dis-
tarice from the. top to the the_.b.ottom 'bnjoyable _reading. __
of humanstandards, no matter) • ' "THE RAMBLER.”
what the yardstick •of measure
used may be. Intellectually Hali-
fax has given, to Canada some of
the finest: At the other end of
the line may be found specimens
which have reduced below the
level 'oof the animal. physically
there are giants. of Men, .who
know how to match a brawn in
their' fight for existence against
powers which are unknown to
land lubbers • like ourselves:
Throughoutthe olderderapidat
ed sections there are many cases
of malnutritian. ' I was particu-
larly impressed with, the wonder-
ful work being done by the ViV-
torian Order . of Nurses as 1,saw
one of these ,girls making her
rounds. When you see the condi-
tions of smile of, these homes and
know` full well some of the types
of rrien and women who wish to
call themselves worthy of being
parents of a rising generation, no-
thing but an inspired zeal could
make a girl able to carry on her
work with a grace which ,.com-
mands respect even under the
most adverse circunistances.
The extreme contrasts . even
prevail in ,the buildings. It is not
uncommon ;to see some very mod-
ern substantial building in the
midst of ancient edifi:ces.whieh, in
Ontario . would have been des-
troyed for sanitary -reasons if for
no other cause. However there-.
seems to exist to the umpteenth
degree an element of tradition.
It is this element which prevails
throughout :the older section of
Halifax; which givesto strangers
an erroneous impression, if you
do not %,ave the time to explore
other parts which have sought
to modernize. You just naturally'
go away feeling quite depressed.
Outside the field of human re-
lations Halifax street population
is quite cosmopolitan. It is pos-
sible to see seamen from every
port in the world, a fact which
'in itself makes a most interesting
study. It is really quite a revel-
ation to me how commerce cour([
be transacted so satisfactorily by
the .simple means' of gestures:
You no doubt, dear reader, will
have- gleaned some impression of
what strikes one the most on ar-
rival, in Halifax. Next issue I
shall endeavour . to bring you a
picture of" the modernized sect-
ions and the many cultural ele-
ments. which I hope may be more
�l.
