Fellow Travellers lr. the scat across the aisle from .5 more were two ladies who had been lo their ngcd rnothei-'s lun- pral at Antigonisth, one was from Boston rind the other from New peclicrd, Mass. They were good company and ye heard of many nillfls who have made similar trips in lilC.T former homes from New Engifilld. We noted that they had in imve their American citizenship vgpclis for the Immigration of- ficers, uhcreas vacation travellers merely had their Department of Health and Welfare papers stamp- ed with the place and date of entry; ihcsc are to be -stamped iigaii. with the place and date I'ill'il leaving the United States. It is true we had identification papers and passport. but these did not seem to be required. The Amcricaii Immigration agent was in the Railway Station at Saint John, so that this work was com- pleted before we left on the "Gull" for Boston. we found our fellow travellers very friendly and in- teresiliig iliroughout the entire trip. Visiting by Telephone The Iiopa at Monctcn, Saint John and Boston were sufficiently long for us to contact by telephone our friends at each place and ex- change family news. At Boston, Dr. and Mrs. W. S. Ferguson wished in come to see us It the South Station. We suggested the phone would have to do for the present as we had only an hour an it half in Boston, and had to transfer with our baggage from the North to the . South Station and have breakfast. Dr. Will Fer- guson, R son of the late Senator Donald Ferguson oi Marshfield, is well and wished to be remembered tolils friends on the Island. He in ii reiirt-d Profesor of History at lill'Hl."fl University and is now living in Cambridge, M058.

From there on we did not see snow or ice until we wakened on .the morning of February 6th, between Savannah and Jcsiip in Georgia. where there uiisice iind old snow along the railway track for miles, however. ilicrc was no sign of ice when we Pnlcrrd Florida.

Sight Seeing On our journey we saw one American flag at Westerly on the border between Rhode Island and Connecticut; the two flying in Bridgeport, and ten only a glimpse of two more in New York City. From there on we were so interested in flowers, shrubs. trees, birds and country activities that we did not count flags which earl- ier had seemed conspicious by their absence. The snow had disappear- ed at Kingston, R. I.. but beautiful lawns of green grass were not seen until we camelto Greenwich on the border of New York State. we entered New York City over the famed Hell Gate Bridge and by tunnel to the Pennsylvania Station under the very heart of Manhattan. our stay there was short. There seemed to he a con- tinual movement of trains loaded with people that passed every few minutes. , Shortly after leaving Penn Sta- tion we had a glimpse of day- light, and tall buildings, then through another tunnel under the Hudson River to come out in Jer- sey City. New Jersey. when we had passed through Newark, N. .I.. we noted ihe,soil along the right- of-way was almost the same col- our as P. E. Island soil and re- membered that New Jersey has red Triassic soil throughout most of the state. This gave quite a familiar look to the countryside, as far as Trenton which is near where Pennsylvania joins New Jersey at the headwaters oi the Potomac River. we saw in New Jeffrey R Emit many manufacturing plants and recall the name Johnson and Johnson, a distribution centre of pharmaceutical supplies that cov- ered many acres.

Manufacturing plants, warehouses. town and country homes: the-99 were almost continuous except where arms of me see and rivers intercepted them in Conn. and N. Y. States. These rivers and bays have great flocks of duck and 568 gulls that added much to the in- terest oi the Shore route of the N. ., N. H. and Hartford Railway which passes along the most scenic section of the whole trip South. It is true that we also saw it great many areas of l1n1mPl”0Ved land; much of this lies on the out- skirts of towns and cities and seems, to be unoccupied for spew- lation. some oi it may Mt be Wit" able for agricultural purposes. but ns we went further south into Virginia and the Carollnas. We felt that if not used for farm cr0P5 it should be reforested with trees suitable to the areas.

There were. how- ever. great areas with only I few trees per acre and large I-Te!-9 where the useless palmetto shrub occupied the land. There were for- ests almost covered with th6 streamers from Spanish Moss and many bright coloured flowering shrubs along the way.
