Island Edition." But the love felt for the Island is rooted in many further things, some of them dif-! fleult to express, including these:

—The tranquil enchantment evoked by pastoral beauty _ the roll of red soil meeting the rampage of multiple shades ef green, with each shade stand- ing separate as the whole blends magnificently — and all this vivid splendor streaked and surrounded . hy .the glowing blues of rivers, streams, har- bors and the very waters of the sea. -© :

THE PAST LINGERS

The past lingers in this pro- vince. The future drifts inte position beside it, but never quite displaces it. A man com- ing from a centre where bustle prevails can step back into his childhood in an simpler age— into all the parts of it he cher- fishes in memory — while visit- ing the Island. His son can Join him there, or stay in the world of modernity. if he pre- fers.

SPECIAL AFFECTION

—With firm insistence, an d perhaps the greatest glory of them all, the Island remains itself, no matter how much oth- er places may change. That doesn’t make it a backward place — not a bit of it — but a place that changes according to its own taste and quietly ra- ther than the taste of others.

Thus it fs that just the one! “THE Island” exists for millions of persons, to exert a special pull upon their affections: to rank with them as “a land to love."’ It is this “THE Island,” Prince Edward Island, that {is extending a special invitation now to new thousands to discover and enjoy its charms this year while vacationing among them.
