LOAN
In, previous 'articles I gave you
a description of Halifax and it is
now, my intention. to attempt , a
description of Dartmouth. Al-
though Dartmouth shares the
shoreline of Chebucto Bay; com_
nienly referred to as. Halifax,
Harbor, it was less fortunate in'
its .growththan 'Halifax.
t Both places were „named and
founded ..by . one; .Cola the Hun:
Edward Cornwallis, 1VI:P. Because
of the fact that Halifax 'offered
the More natural. ' and strategic
u i ,aft ver, !.-was
the 'most dominant element, Hal-
ifax got the break. •
Of the two, Dartmouth• has
more natural beauty, although
scattered over quite a wide area.
In 1941. the official_ population
was placedat almost eleven thou-
,sand. This figure of course, has
'been _.. increased considerably..
Transportation is provided' by bus
system which has quite recently
established a • station . in the cen='
tre of the town. Quite a' few folk
from Dartmouth work 'over in

To Raise More Food
Farmers raising' war foods, supplying all kinds of
products for export to the fighting fronts, may: 'find it
necessary to borrow • at the Bank to cover their extra
requirements.
It is the policy of the Bank of Montreal, at •all of its
branches, to co-operajte aty alltimes'with farmers, and
especially at the present time when their work is so
esseriiial to the war effort.
Halifax. I'n fact by crossing over'
on the "ferry they . are actually
closer tothe business section than.
many who live in the city. This
ferry is one of the busiest insti
tutor's of its kind I have seen.
.According tO .figures''pof 1941 the
ferry service handled over four
and one-quarter millioi people
:,as well as over fivehundred
thousand motor cars, ,This , figure
under present conditions,.lnust be
almost doubled. There are three
units• . which operate from , Dart-
mouth 'to Halifax, ,the �larg`esty of
vehicles and will. carry ,four hun-
' •died ' passengers. „ Jokingly this
.;erossing.isOften referred to:as the
trip across the Atlantic for. that's
as much of .the. Atlantic as some
of them have seen.
' Dartmouth has alwaysbeen
closely associated' with. the ship
building industry and has to her
credit some of the finest ,ever
-built. I' have enjoyed the privil-
ege of being taken round the
yards. and 'much could .be said
about them but for obvious reas-
ons 1 am restraenid.

One cannot :visit this place
without' being impressed,: by the
large .nuinber of colored . . folk ,.
which are everywhere to.be 'seen..

negroes., as they are' .by all odds.
the blackest_ I. have ever seen..
They. alsit possess the,. very, strong
characteristics .of thein race both
in features as'well as in. actions:
Quite typical of their race they
are. content to. be the. servants
to their fellowmen. ' It is gttite
-Pa PQM' m m--sigh-t7t-o see them with
one ox hitched to . a cart, two...or
foul wheeled. What -does seem
so strange ' to, one who hasn't
,'seen Much of oxen,' is that 'they
can sit an 'their wagon 'and 'dir-
ect the animal through congested
traffic by •word of mouth and a
little whip: just as effectively as
a. horseman can. guide •his horse
by. the. use...o :reins Dartmouth
recently had an event. •of which
the colored folk were.proud when
.they had a local son receive his
:commission. 'as a . pilot officer.
Whatever.:the reason the aver-
age serviceman finds Dartmouth
people, much more congenial than
Halifax, particularly outside .the
naval service: '
Dartmouth claims the distinc-
tion of being the home of the
Hon. J. W. Johnston, first pre=
infer of Nova Scotia and incident-
ally the first in any. part of the
British Empire. overseas under
responsible government. The
house still stands which he lived
in and was built in 1840_ Another
residence which housed one .of
Canada's most eminent .citizens
was' that of Hon. Joseph, Howe,
one of the Fathers of Confedera-
tion. .
Present indications, are that
Dartmouth may enjoy .a period
of expansion partly due to'. the
permanent location of naval ser-
vices which will continue in the'
years following the war. • •
