JAGK MINER‘S ADVIGE 1G T0 "SEE CANADA HAST" Maritime People Will be Especially Pleased With His Account of His Visit to the Bast. Jack Miner, the noted nature lover, has kindly contributed the following article to The Advance this week. Jack Miner is always a booster of the North Land and its beauties. It is in his role of advocate of the North that he is best known in this country. But all will be pleased to read his referâ€" ence to a visit to tke Maritimes. The many in this section from the Mariâ€" times will be especially delighted with his article on, ‘*See Canada First!" From his home at Kingsville, Ontario, Jack Miner writes :â€" For the last ten years 1 have been getting invitations to go to our Mariâ€" time Provinces on a lecture tour, and these invitations kept on multiplying unt#ithe pigeonâ€"hole was about filled. Finally I decided to go, and 1 am a better Canadian toâ€"day through the fact that I did go, for no person can be greeted and treated twenty days in succession as these bigâ€"hearted real Canadian Maritimers treated me withâ€" out becoming a bigger and better man. Yes, I had heard these old stories how they still used oxen on the farms down there and how there were aged people on Prince Edward Island that had never been off the Island, and so forth. I found these stories were true, and to me they are beautifully true. Well, my first stop was at the dear old town of St. Andrew‘s, N.B., where the leading men and school children honoured me by allowing me to plant a chestnut tree in the high sehool park. Then they named the tree ‘"‘Uncle Jack.‘‘ From there I went to St. Stephen‘s, N.B., then to St.: John, where we had a two-thousand-% seatingâ€"capacity house filled twice. Then on to Newcastle and Moneton, then to Amherst, N.S., Wolfville, Windsor, Halifax, Truro, New Glasâ€" gow and Yarmouth. All gave me the same royal reception, and toâ€"day I cannot help but laugh at the unscehoâ€" lared innocent vision I have always had of the climatic conditions of our Maritimes. The daffodils were in full bloom on May 1st, and Dorothy Perkins roses, climbing along some fences where they had been exposed \to the winter, were bulging with real Ilife the same as mine were in Southâ€" ern Ontario. I did see three yoke of oxen at work. One span was hauling a muck cart out of a barnyard ; the other two pairs were lowering their heads and bowing their backs under the low limbs of the apple orchards where big horses couldn‘t go. Here these obedâ€" ient beasts were being used to cultiâ€" vate the soil so that it would produce apples instead of weedsâ€"and, by the way, please let me state that, unless I am greatly mistaken in my judgâ€" ment, a span of good fat oxen on a farm is a far better asset than an old oneâ€"eyed, secondâ€"hand, softâ€"tire, goloshâ€"top car| Now as a summer resort country, I have not â€"seen anything better. 1 motored over one â€" hundred _ and twentyâ€"five miles in one day, and 1 l am sure we crossed fully twenty trout streams where we saw the sportsmen‘s autos parked beside the road, and I actually saw them landing the specâ€" kled beauties! Really it made me wish every day was Friday noon, and to any person that hasn‘t driven through New Brunswick and Nova Scotia I wish to say that it is a deâ€" lightful treat. I saw the nicest and bestâ€"keptâ€"up apple orchards I ever looked upon, but of all, is the lovable Christian people. os + My Jlast two or three days were spent on Prince Edward Island, and oh, how agreeably surprised I was! Why, bless your life, it is not a farmâ€" ing country at all. It is a garden containing twentyâ€"one hundred and fifty square miles. _ Really, with0ut| any exception, it is the most beautiful rolling and finely cultivated piece of country I ever beheld, and when I go there again I want to see those aged people that they tell me have never been off the Island. Yes, I want to erip their hands and congratulate them. â€" Well, my first stop was Charâ€" lottetown, where I was privileged to visit the ancient Parliament Buildings and invited to sit down in the room where I understood our great and adâ€" vantageous Federation was born. The next day we motored to Summerside, but at this stage I am simply done out or killed with kindness, and I ask permission to go to bed for two _or three hours. After the lecture that night I was given a sort of * farewell party,"‘ and the next morning I steamed up for home. CA _A . .4 And now, after having a personal jumpâ€"around view of the Maritimes, 1 want to advise all Canadians to SEE CANADA FIRST! Yes, with all due respect to the land where my parents were born, I would sooner bhave my three boys spend two weeks in the Maritimes than have them spend six weeks in Europe. I firmly believe it is more to their advantage to see Canada first, and, best of all, get a glimpse of the coâ€"operative spirit of these Maritime people, both religiousâ€" ly and commercially, which is sure to increase. our pride in real Canadianâ€" ism and our love for Canadians and Canada, as I understand from the best of authority that over 97 per cent. of the 88,000 people on Prince Edward Island at Canadianâ€"born. By all means see anad know Canada and our people first. Bornâ€"In Timmins, Ont, on Monday, July 30th, 1928, to Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Ringsleben,â€"a daughter.
