We crossed from the Island on the Abeg- welt, the ferry that swallows up a whole CNR train on one side and transports it to the other as well as the odd hund- red cars and passengers. It was during luncheon, that for the second time in five days I saw the bore push back the Salmon River. The first time I still don't know what I ex- pected. I think it was a roar like thunder and a burst of water like the gush of a broken dam. Instead, the bore looked 'as though God had upset a bucket, of water. It came gently around the bend in the river with a swish against the red banks and a whirr of the wings of gulls who wait at the water's edge for the fish forced inland by the tide pushing the river back. This is the sound I shall always associate with the phe- nomenon of nature, the tidal bore.

PENNEBAKER AGENT FOR Rowntree's Chocolates & Neilsons DoothyGray and Du Barry Cosmetics Everything in Baby Needs Veterinary Supplies Cradle of Confederation The chair Sir John A. Mac- Donald sat in when, he signed the document for Confedera- tion of the provinces of Cana- da, after the British North America -Ala was passed in 1867, remains at the head of a long table in the Legislative Buildings in Charlottetown, P.E.I. Ninety-four years later I sat in the chair Sir John occupied on that memorable day in Canadian history, and signed the guest book in •that famous room, feeling my heart swell with native pride. Sometimes X amaze myself by the rather Inconsequential thoughts that pop into my mind at the height of some moving experience. On this occasion as Robert Craig, attendant, in his bewitching Scottish brogue was describing the historic im- pact of Confederation on the nation and what transpired on that first day of July so long ago to weld the provinces into a strong unit, I was trying to figure where the windows were that .form .the background for the picture of the Fathers of Confederation with which we. are all $9 familiar, This picture used to be in all Canadian history books when I was a. child', Probably it still is, and maybe today's elernene tary scholars are as convinced as I was until this slimmer, that it is the illustration of the signing of the charter that gave birth to Canada as we know it today. Actually it was a picture taken in Quebec in 1.864, when plans for Con- federation were drawn up to be presented to the Parliament of Britain, However, the actual signing of the document was done at the table at which I sat and gazed at the bronze plaque on the wall with its inscription to this effect, "They builded better than they knew". I had waited a long time to visit the cradle of Confederation, I was- n't disappointed. The CN Maple Leaf Tour, which had covered so much of the ground where Canadian his- tory was first written, might have ended right in that musty old building and.I. would have returned to central Canada with a glen of satisfaction, But there was still ranch to see and learn before we said good, bye to our drivers, fns VOW Worries Prosperity was evident everywhere in the Island. 1.1n- like most provinces, P.E,I, has practically no welfare problem, Picturesque white spruce wind- breaks on every farm prevent soil shifting, one of nature's caprices, from happening. Tour- ist promotion has been consid- erably stepped. up during the past several years. For inst- ance, a visit to an.authentic Micmac village was interesting, There we saw an old birch bark canoe reputed to be 150 years old. It had probably transported members of this tribe from mainland to island and back again many, many times before the white man and his ferry service happened along. Over rolling hills, like a ride on a roller :coaster, our cara- van drove to 'a beautiful farm at Woodleigh where Col. A. W. Johnston has built the most amazing miniature replicas of famous structures in his native England. The building of these scale models started as a hob- by. It took five years for Col. Johnston to complete the first replica, York Minster Cathed- ral. Since •then he has added Gray's Church (of Elegy fame), Penn Manor House, Glamis Castle, Shakespeare's birth- place and Anne Hathaway's cottage. There's a wishing well, coach house, Ye Old Dragon Inn and stocks and pillory which delight literally thous- ands of tourists who visit this interesting exhibit each sum- mer, When I had numerous rolls of film developed on my return I found I had snapped the posterior of a small child on his hands and knees trying to worm his way into Glamis Castle, Our drivers had good naturedly posed in stock and pillory and now, pasted into my scrap books, are colored postcards of each one of these remarkable replicas, flaunted By Anne's Ghost We paid another visit on the Island that aroused memories of our childhood. This was the home that inspired L. M. Mont- gomery's famous story "Anne of Green Gables". Guess which one of our party was the most excited at the prospect of re- living this story which has be- come a children's classic. It was my Polish friend, who said the story 'had been translated into her native tongue and that she had read it during •her happy childhood long before Hitler's war devastated her homeland and provided her with, memories that were any- thing but happy. No wonder she was thrilled at the scenic landscape surrounding this former farm house. Now people play golf on the course that formerly pastured flocks and herds during An- ne's adventure. Tourists by the 'Martin Luther' Is Seen By Many At Middleton (Middleton Correspondent) The showing of the epic film, "Martin Luther" in St. James Church, Middleton on Friday evening, November 3 attracted a good-sized crowd, The rec- tor, the Rev. E. J. B. Harrison warmly welcomed all present and opened the meeting with prayer. In a few introductory re- marks, Mr. Harrison sketched the background for this film. Dr, Martin Luther, the lead- er of the reformation is one of the great historical and rel- igious figures of all time. This film splendidly portray- ed the soul-searching quest for truth by this learned and fear- less man, in spite of the most drastic opposition threatening 'his life. Luther compared the church practices and teachings of his time with those laid' down in Holy 'Scripture and in protest, nailed his famous 95 theses on the cathedral door in Witten- Some are born savers The squirrel does things by instinct. But hualails are different. They have to be taught just about everything. If you're a farmer, that means teaching your child many things, such as, crop rotation, livestock judging, success• ful marketing—but, first and foremost, it should mean teaching your child, early in life, to save, Encourage him to open his own Savings Account at the f'Royar, and to practice putting aside something on a regular basis. Show him that having something laid away can often make the difference between success and failure. Then (like the squirrel) he'll be prepared for the future.
