Shaw. • O 0 0 ediekilUal and Gawkwac A Trip to the Maritimes BY THE EDITOR (Continued from last week) While temporarily resident in the City of Halifax, the delegates to the CWNA convention were right royally treated and we doubt that if the hospitality of that famous old city, founded in 1749, and the Province of Nova Scotia of which it is the capital, could be exceeded anywhere in Can- ada. For purposes of this instalment of our Story, we therefore propose to toueh on a few of the entertainment highlights, and refer to the actual sessions of the con- vention in our next article. The City of Halifax was hog to the delegates at a complimentary luncheon at noon on Thursday, September 12, when Mayor J. E. Ahern, an old newspaperman, made everyone feel at home i.with a fine address of welcome, tell- ing something of its history and aspirations. Civic dignitaries graded the head table. A closing feature of the luncheon was the presen- tation of the Canadian Broaxlcasting Corporation weekly farm broadcast fer the Maritimes, from the stage of the ball room in the CNR hotel, "The Nova 'Scotian," which was headquarters for the convention. It featured an inter- view with a weekly newspaper editor from New Brunswick. The evening dinner was tendered by the Government of the Province of Nova Scotia, the highlight of which Was a very able address by a master afterldinner speaker, Hort:, Angus L Macdonald; Premier of Nova ;Scotia and fennel: Federal Minister of National Defence for Naval Services. In part, he said: "Gentlemen of the Press, you and I arerepresentatives of the people, You have the privilege and the duty to attempt to interpret the spirit, the hopes, the feelings of your constitu- ents, to give them the news. That is your fanction a$ newspaper men pur- ely' and solely, but as citizens you have, I venture to say, a 'function that is More important still, and that is of leading and educating the People. I believe sincerely that the weekly press of this country, by and large, is ably and creditably conduct- ed. Other agencies for the giving of news have appeared in our thee— the radio, the news reel particularly, but important though they are, they have not supplanted .the newspaper. I hone and I know that the Press will always continue to play an im- portant pat in the molding .of sound and sane public opinion in this country, "Gentlemen of the Weekly Press of Canada, I welcome you to Nova Scotia as incevideals, for the stranger with - Mg our gates is alwaye .welcome, but we are doubly glad to have you because' of your association, with a great and noble profession. Gentle- men of the newspaper world, it is an honour f Or Me to be here and it is a rich and real .pleasure to tender to you the cordial greetings and good wishes of the Goverment and the people of Nova Scotia?' Each guest was presented with a suitably inscribed hand -painted Min- iature crest of the Province of Nova Scotia as a moment() .of the occasion. Needless to say, these mementoes v,,ere highly prized by their redo - lents. A Trip to -Sea, Wartime Prices Board Answers Questions Concerning Regulations Q: --,What is the —ceiling price of comb honey? A:—The maximum pi:iee at which anyone may sell honey in a standard wooden ,comb honey section of 41/2 by 41,e inches or of four inches by five inches is 40 cents a section. ▪ * e Q:—When there is such a shortage of soap in Canada why do we export it to Newfoundland and other coun- tries? 'A:—Under trade agreements which have been in existence for many years Canada -made soap is exported to the British West Indies, New- foundland and other Beitish colonies. The amount shipped is appeoximately six inillion pounds as compared with a total Canadian production. of 225 million pounds. * * * Q:—Are testaments allowed to in- crease the price of milk by the glass? A:—No. Price increases for milk sold by the glass in restaurants will not be allowed unless approved by the Services Administration of the Wareeme Prices ' and Trade Board, Applications for an increase will not be considered unless the overall pia- eure of any business wanants an increase. The real peak of the lighter side of the convention was the trip to sea on Friday afternoon, September 13, on board "Nootka," through the courtesy of the Royal Canadiae Navy. She is a destroyer of the Tribal class and was com- missioned August 7 at Halifax where she. was built. All the members of the convention were unable to secure the coveted tickets for the trip, but we were among those fortunate enough—lucky despite the unlucky day! On our 20 -mile trip out to sea, the "Nootka" was accompanied by HMOS "Middlesex," a trim little minesweeper. It is a coincidence that the "Nootka" is 110W commanded by a native of Clinton, ,Commander el. S. Rayner, DSC and Bar, RON, but, On that day the destroyer was in Charge of the executive officer. It is interesting to note that the eeauti- fal ship officially joined the Canad- ian Fleet on Tuesday, October '8. A thorough inspection of the ship was provided in small groups of eight or ten, with a young officer in charge of each. We learned that the "Nootka" is fitted with the latest in fighting equipment, and is manned by a crew of about 275. Her overall length is 377 feet. beam 371/2 feet, shaft hp. 44,000. Her armament consists of six 4.7 -inch guns, two 4 -inch guns, two twin Bofors, four twii oerlikons, and four 21 -inch tor- pedoes. Inspection of the instruments and various gadgets was very inter- esting, and the vadar-controlled gun actions spelled the ultimate in scientific achievement and efficiency. The "Nootka" dieplaces about 2,000 tons, and has a rated speed, we were told, of about 35 knots, or about 40 land miles, per hour. When we .got out into Atlantic Ocean, after sail- ing around the inner harbour of Bed- ford Basin and through the outer harbour, we received just a little taste of the great speed of this fine ship. At one point, we touched 27 knots, or over 30' miles per hour, leavieg the little minesweeper far be- hind. It was a thrilling experience Meanwhile, navy Seafire planes staged a depth -charge demonstration and dive-bombing show for our bene- fit At times, it was pretty realistic as the planes swooped low for "the kilt" A Great Seaport The importance of Halifax as a war port was quite evident. Posses- sing one of the finest harbours in the world, this fine old Canadian city played a part that few of ns ever have realized. And some of her war secrets were bared to us over a loud- ▪ * e am planning to spend the winter in the United States and want to take some of my own canned fruit with me. Will you please tell me if I can take them. A:—Canadian export regulations permit a Canadian citizen to take with him to the -united States for his own personal eonsumption butter, preserves and. rationed meat up to ee.00 in value. For amounts of these foods over $5.00 an export permit is 'required from the Export Permit Branch, Department of Trade and Commerce, 220—Queens St., Ottawa. However, both Canada and the Unit- ed States have their own regulations and therefore the customs officials of each country at border points are concerned. In view of this it is suggested that you communicate with the lAimerican customs at her port of entty in order to avoid disappoint- ment.

Two Children Baptized At St. Paul's Anglican Church, a baptism service took place Sunday afternoon last, when Gary Edward Noakes, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Noakes, and Victoria Pearl, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Ken Noakes, receiv- ed the rites of baptism.

Attlhough war's crescendo of activity has subsided, her role, as one of Canada's great seaports, remains unchanged. She is an indispensable link in Canada's growing chain of world trade. Although we did not have the time to inspect HMOS "Warrior," one of Canada's two aircraft carriers, we passed closely by her as she lay at the wharf. A majestic ship, she is 692 feet overall,' has a beam of 112 feet, and 621/2 feet from keel to flight deck, about the same as a five -storey building. AB Bob Steep, Clinton, is one of her proud crew members; he was home on leave when we weve in Halifax, and unfortunat- ely missed him. But take it from me, Bob is with a mighty handsome ship!
