He looked for great things from it, and hoped that if the Atlantic provinces were to form the gateway to Canada, that it might be made a toll gateway which would benefit the Atlantic region.

Hon. J. E.

He hoped it would rcmult in closer relationships with the mother country. While we are four provinces with different in- terests” said Mr. Smallwood, “in the essential things we speak as one.

along with the other Atlantic pre- miers, he met with many of the British industrialists interested in the new venture. This was fol- lowed by a reception held by Hon. George A. Drew and Mrs. Drew and a private dinner at which the premiers were the guests of Lord Beaverbrook. ON TO BRUSSELS '

From London, the party went on to Brussels to visit the In- ternational Trade Fair and View the Canadian pavilion there. On their return to Britain, they have a busy round of official engage ments to fulfil, arrangements for these having been made by Lord Home, Commonwealth Secretary.

The purpose behind the open- ing of Atlantic House is to main- tain it as an office giving ser- vice to British and European in- dustrialists and business men. Its objectives are to explain the opportunities rapidly developing in the Atlantic provinces of Can- ada, to present the new indus- trial opportunities which the area offers, to develop greater two- way trade across the Atlantic and in general to serve as a con- venient source of information concerning the development of the region.

Thrill Guides F

The Canadian Training Comm- ittee of the Girl Guide Associat- ion have chosen Canada’s “Gar- den of the Gulf,” Prince Edward Island, as the setting for an At- lantic Adventure Camp from July 4th. to the 14th. For most of the one hundred Guides, Cadets, and Rangers, miles of glistening wihi-te sandy beaches and salt - water swimming will be new experienc- es. C'I'0‘SlSll'lIg to the Island by a modern carferry, the largest of its type in ‘the world, is a mere introduction.

Jacques Cartier, visiting Prince Edward Island for thee first time in 1534, records his impressions of “the wonderfully beautiful trees, rich red soil, na- tive berries and grains, tu!tle- doves, wood-pigeons and other birds." The pastoral beauty re- mains to charm these campers -as it did Cartier more than four hundred years ago. Such opport- unities for the study of nature lore are unequalled anywhere. HISTORY

What a thrill for these girls to have the pages of their histoy books actually come to life, com- ments Mrs. L. E. Prowse, one of.th‘e committee arranging the camp. Their knowledge will be enriched by visiting the Provin- cial Building in Charlottetown, the venerable stone floor of its entrance worn by "the feet of time.” and seeing the Chamber, which in 1864 was the scene of the birthplace of Canadian.Con- federation. The chairs, cabinets, bookcases and table of antique mahogany remain exactly as they ‘were, when the Fathers of Con- federation held their meetings here. Can you imagine the thrill of sitting in the chair once oc- cupied by Sir John A. MacDon- ald? These are only 81 f€_9W 0f such historic sites which will be- come realities‘during their so- journ here. -

What a surprise to ma11Y.t0 discover that live lobsters, as they are hauled in their huge traps, are green. not red, as they appear in cans after being cook- ed. Digging for clams and steam- ing them in sea-water will be part of a real Atlantic holiday experience never - to — be - for- gotten.

Anglican Bislio Early Maritime

’ The world membership of 40 million in the Anglican com- munion will be represented by 400 bishops at the Lambeth Con-

ference in London, Eng. next month, Rt. Rev. W. W. Davis, W. W. Davis, M. A., D. D., said In an address at a luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club at the Charlottetown, Hotel yester- day. The meeting was presided over by Dr. Fnaink Jelks, who in- troduced the speaker. The thlainks of the meeting was extended by co-chairman N. D. MacLe:an.

"I have been tremendously in- teresbed in P. E. Island since reading Anne of Green Gables written by that noted ambassador from the Island province, L. M. _lVIont_2gom:ery," Bishop Davis said in his opening remarks. “Since my inslliallation as bishop coad- judtor I have been looking for- ward to visiting this province and meeting the people. I was thrill- ed to see th e countryside churches,”, he said.

For the first time in the history of the-diocese of Noxa Scotia, the Bishop’s ring carries the oak tree clusters of P. E. Island along with the Nova Scotia em- blem. Originally the bishop of Nova Scotia held jurisdiction over Newfoundland and Ber- mudla. .

RECORDS FOR 250 YEARS

Bishop Davis in describing the early church activities in the Maritimes referred to the Diocese church records ranging back for. 250 years. Annapolis Royal was described as the old.- est Protestant church erected in the period 1710-1750 is a Hali- fax where seating was provided for the garrison and could ac- commodate 1,800 persons. The Little Dutch Church at Halifax is also a landmark with a history of more than 200 years.

For 37 years after Halifax was founded there was no bishop until two came from the United States with the United Empire Loyalists. The bishops had been consecrated in Scotland. Char- les _Inglis, the first Canadian Bishop was born in Ireland and for a time was Rector of Trinity Church in New York. His church and home there were both burned to the ground, whereupon he re- turned to England.

In 1787 he came to Hal-if:ax as the first bishop of the Diocese of Nova Scotia. Bishop Inglis founded King's College ta Halifax in 1788, the oldest college outside the British Isles in the Common- wealth.

At the Synod of 1817 for the first time representatives of the Anglican Communion attended and took part in the proceedings under brilliant young bishop I-Iib- . bert Bl-nney who came to his responsible position at the age of l 33 y_ea-rs. ,, ,1

the suitable locations for the driv- ing of piles difficult to find, then as the approaches movedl out the tide became faster andl washed away the fill. This how-‘ ever, was partly overcome by the proximity of the fill which enabled the workmen to pile in more fill and gradually lengthen the approach.

The new bridge will cut of a- bout seven miles from the form- er route over the old bridge, which will be of considerable con- venience to the residents of New Dominion and the surrounding areas.
