Plans for the service, which

The plans call for the ac

One of the most dramatic

repjica of Canada’s most famous
schooner, acts as host ship of
the program. It has beep placed
at the disposal of the exhibition
corporation and the Royal Can
adian Navy for this purpose by
Gland and Son Ltd, of Halifax.
The Bluenose II is an exact
reproduction of the original, a
lithe graceful, two-masted Grand
Banks fishing schooner that in
her lifetime raced and defeated
everything under sail in her
class. Bluenose I, the swift
Lunenberg saltbanker, was lost
on a Caribbean reef in 1946

The region’s long warm sum
mers, and snow-free climate,
are money in the bank for-gro
wers of everything from soy
beans to sugar beets. But of
all Kent County crops, nothing
approaches the variety and abun
dance of corn. It accounts for
one hundred and thirty thousand
acres of growth annually, to
supply starch companies, distill,
eries, breakfast food makers and
feed manufacturers. The annual
. production of eleven to twelve
million bushels finds its way
into scores of industries across
Canada and the United States,
must breathe, drink, eat, sleep,
and have a warm home for his
family. Like other living things,
man suffers when the we b of
nature is drastically changed.
Man also cannot survive if the
habitat he has become adapted
to through millions of years of
evolution changes too greatly.
Naturalists are like the miners
who carry a canary down into
the mines so they will know when
dangerous gases are filling the
air. When the canary gets sick
and dies* the miners take dras
