A Thv'?4?, AM Of Local Ladies End Canadian Tour By Elizabeth Johnson. Editor Pan II a On Saturday, July 26. we left the Cabot Trail and tra veled back to the Nova Scotia mainland via Port Hastings, AntTgonish and New Glasgow to the Caribou Ferry Dock from which we ferried across the Northumberland Strait to Prince Edward Island. This island is the smallest Canadian Province and is for tunate in having rich, produc tive soil, hence its title "Canada's Million- Acre Farm". We stayed in Char lottetown Saturday night and had Sunday morning free to rest or attend church. Strangely enough. Adelaide and I attended St. Paul's Anglican Church where we heard a visiting minister from Alaska, whose bishop is Ris hop Gordon from Spray, N. C. After a short sightseeing tour of the island, we ferried again across the Northumber land Strait to New Brunswick and stayed at Moncton for the night. Here we. visited Magnetic Hill where cars do roll uphill and also twice watched the tidal Bore, a phenomenon in the Petitco diac River where strong in rushing tides of the Bay of Fundy force a great volume of water through the narrow neck of the river. The water moves in a great wave, rang ing from a few inches to five feet in height in just minutes at about seven or eight miles per hour. From Moncton, N, B., we traveled a northerly route on Monday, going through Chat ham and Bathirst. where great piles of pulpwood and many paper mills were seen; we went on for the night to Qimpbelllon, the second larg est seaport in the New Bruits wick Province. Entering Quebec. Canada's largest Province, on Tuesday we traveled the scenic south shore of the Gaspe' peninsula through the small towns of New Richmond, New Carlisle and Gn.nde Riviere to Perce, the eastern extremity of the Gaspe' peninsula in the Gulf of the St. Lawrence River. The gulf was too rough for a boat trip around the rock formation, which separated over the years from the main land, is a bird sanctuary. However, we enjoyed the Gaspe Shoreline Rock at Perce town of Perec whirl) is a spectular sight somewhat like Gatlinburg, Tenn.. a tourist delight. On Wednesday, we toured the northern shoreline of the Gaspe. seeing quaint little French villages and rustic farms which dot the country side. Accommodations for the night were in Kimouski. For the first time in ten days we turned south Thurs day into the province of New Brunswick and down the St. John Kiver valley, going through l^dmonston. Grand Falls, Bath, liartland, and Woodstock before crossing the border at Moulton into the United States. At Bangor, Maine, that night we ate a lobster dinner. We returned home Sunday after a sightseeing tour of Boston where we spent Fri day night, a visit to Stur bridge Village Saturday, and an overnight stop at Wilming ton, Delaware. The southeastern section of Canada is much behind the rest of Canada and the United Slates in its development but is at present making great strides in changing this. Very impressive was the fact that every small village dotted along the coastal high way had a large church with a high steeple. Located upon hills, the churches were via ble (or miles.

Miller, president of the Rock ford, ill., Testor Corp., a manufacturer of quick (frying plastic glue, told a news coa ferenc* here recently that tni company has added mustani oil to its product.
