Such a ferry would bene- litvthe whole province. Its greatest "mile Pﬂllmlis would be in the im- petus it would give to the tourist; trttilic. It would put, the ppm“; Edwnrtl Island and Nova Scotia Notion-hi Parks only I50 miles apart niid would put the province on a totiri-t route instead 0f. as at pre- sent, on a dend cnd. Tourists are nit nriity on wheels, Mr. J0ne5 sajﬂL ever on the move and they do not unlit to re-trnce their route. With tiic fcrry nt Wood Islands it would mean flint. tourists could come into the province by way of Borden, visit the Notional Park and leave by a ferry only twelve miles across nnd go on to Cape Breton. It. had been tentatively suggested that tho boat be ﬁnanced by priv. ate capitol and it was an oppor- tunity for local business men to show their faith in the province, the speaker declared. The proposed Shin would be of shallow draft. Speedy and powered by crude oil engines. Crossings would be made frequently during the day and p. seven day service would be requir- ed to be satisfactory.
