Just how the term "bluenose' at
tached itself to Nova Scotians Is a
mystery. However it came to pass,
the natives of the sea-bordered
province don't think it is f1attering
and reluctantly admit two versions,
according to Miss Dorothy Duncan
in her new book, "Bluenose.
One theory is that it comes from
a type of potato grown in the
province. It has the shape OF hu-
man rose and requires no imagina-
ton to see that 1t is blue at the tip.
Perhaps the other story has gained
greater attention in the United
States-that 1t describes the noses
of fishermen exposed to the Icy
winds of the North Atlantic.
There is third theory found
among American travellers but the
government-spon Nova Scotia
News Bureau ignores it--a peculiar
way of painting a fishing vessel
making the forward part blue.
The colorful moon festival Of Los
Angeles China City, previously
scheduled for September "a, has
been postponed to October 10, &C
cording to word received from the
All Year Club of Southern Cali
fornia. Intricately built dragons
and a sacred lion, too artistic to be
terrifying, wind through the streets
as Chinese underneath cavort in a
snake dance during phases of the
festival, which thanks the moon
goddess for bountiful crops.
