I was born in Nova Scotia, and
visited there years ago. and ]
would list a few places of i'm
portance to visit and see.
MuSts: If entering by car via
Amherst, your first view will be
the famous Tantrama Marshes,
where there is the largest broad
casting system in the world.
After, on to Halifax, a lovely
historic city with fine harbol
From Halifax, one can drive on
down to the famous Chester, per-
haps the most popular resort in
Nova Scotia. Good bathing,
boating and fishing. II might add,
on the trip to Chester one will
see several lovely resort inns and
hotels overlooking the water
One especially high one, elevated
on the right, was most appealing
to us, good meals, bathing, etc.
But I forgot the name.
Afterwards, you might want to
go further down to White Point
Beach, on Highway No. 3. It is
very popular.
Then go by all means through
the Annapolis Valley. stopping at
Wolfville. From there you visit
Grand Pre-. and the historic Land
Of Eyangeline. A visit there is
most interesting.

Digby is one of the most popular
resort places, offering good bath.

they say one finds the best fishing
further down the coast beyond
Digby on Highway No. /.
Pugwash, on the north coast
OF N. S., is also an ideal resort.
Wonderful bathing warmed by the
Gulf Stream. AS a child, I spent
many summers there.
Note: The ferry trip from Digby
TO st. John, N. B., is a must for
scenery.
