John Grimshaw Enterprises and Margi Woodhouse, senior counsellor and one of the tour guides are displaying live lobsters on board the 'Poor Boy' before dumped in the boiling' pot. In background, the Star publisher looking on. representing John Fisher consuming an excellent breakfast, bags were loaded on the bus and away we went for Fundy National Park. Again we did not get the opportunity to really enjoy the beauty of this park covering some 80 square miles in area, skirts the Bay of Fundy for eight miles and extends inland for more than nine miles. We did walk down and "climbed" up those long stairs to view the "World's largest flower pot' at Hopewell while the _ tide was out. Rising and falling twice each day, the Bay of Fundy's tides are the highest in the world. It's quite a sensation to stand on the bottom, looking up when the tide is out realizing that within a few hours the sea will be coming in and cover most of the staircase you just walked down and most of the "Flower Pot" you just took a picture of. "The house 'built by John Kéillor in 1813 On the trip to Moncton, the last city we were to visit, Westmorland Centennial Museum, an old stone house built by John Keillor in 1813 was the next attraction. It's a remarkably well preserved building, was restored and refurnished as a Centennial project. One of the largest of ninefire places was lit and throwing enough heat to keep the large kitchen warm on the damp and rainy day. Steeped in history, Fort Beausejour National Historic Park at Aulac deserved a much longer visit than time 'permitted. The museum was filled of many interesting relics . of Indian, French and English origins, but it was only time to become briefly acquainted, despite the assistance of an excellent guide. Fort Beausejour National Historic Park was established in 1926 to preserve the remains of the old fort built more than 200 years ago. Arriving at Moncton about 9 p.m. on Saturday, a brand new Howard Johnson Motor Lodge was to be our comfortable abode for the night. . - _ Thenextday, Sunday was to be the last and the morning was "free" or to attend the church of your choice if so desired. Moncton is situated beside the Petitcodiac River and is known to be the fastest growing city in the east. The population is 50,000, but approximately 250,000 persons are residing within a 50 mile radius of the City. Industry has been on a increase in Moncton during the last 10 years and 55 new companies have established in Moncton and area. Sunday morning a conducted bus tour was made of Moncton Industrial Park, the 300 acres Centennial Park. On display here was a mounted steam locomotive a tank from the last war and CF-100 jet. It would be impossible to leave the Moncton area without a visit to Magnetic Hill, three miles from the City. We have heard a great deal about it, but never had the opportunity to _ try out the Hill where cars and bicycles coast uphill, backwards. And "right enough, Harold, the bus driver drove down the hill, stopped at the bottom, shut the engine off, released the brakes and suddenly the big bus with 20 persons started to roll backwards up the hill, at least this is what it felt like. The trip was gradually coming to an end and after a last enjoyable meal, the bus was boarded and the group was taken to Moncton Airport. Here we said good bye to our wonderful hosts and hostesses who had made this tour of New Brunswick such a memorable and exciting one. I personally like to express my most hearty thanks to Margie Woodhouse, Dixie Wilson, Iris Young, Margie Hawkes, Real Savoie, Charles Duguay, Ralph Patterson and Denny Critchlow and not to forget the driver, Harold. You all did a wonderful job and if 1 have forgotten anyone, please bear with me. ! There is no doubt in my mind I will return to New Brunswick some day, hopefully for a much longer period than the visit we just experienced. Epsom News Jean Jeffery Tribute to Lawrence Lyons Again our area has been saddened by 'the loss of a dear friend and neighbour. No Eulogy is necessary, the "floral tributes and many who called to pay their last respects speak louder than words. The presence of over fifty Legion and Aux- iliary members, the solemn * beautiful service by approx- jmately the same number of Loyal Orange Lodge members, What was his creed? I do not know. I only know that here below, he walked the common road and lifted many a load, he brightened the day for others toiling on a weary way. he lived the truth as far as he could see, the truth that ever- more makes us free. I care not what his creed; enough that he never yielded to greed; but served his bro- ther in his daily need, had faith in God, himself and fellow men. Perchance he never thought in terms of Creed.
