The beginning came in a village on the Atlantic Coa.st. The people who fished for a living, lobster chiefly, be- came deeply indebted to the local lobsttr factory, their boats, fishing tackle, homes, even iheir clothes were mortgaged at \'.l''c interest. As a result they simply fished for the fac tory without wajfcs, year in and year out. The fishermen began to study co-operatives and finally organized a co-operative lobster plant. In the first year they paid for the plant and distributed $10,000.00 to themselves. But the main object, the vital as- pect, is not in adding to one'.s income. It is the spiritual life that is released to a people who have caught a vision Mrs. S. Turner Died At Advaoced Age (By our Eugenia Correspondent) The death occurred very suddenly on Thursday evening, June 17, of Mrs. Solomon Turner, a well-konwn, highly esteemed, as well as one of the olde.-st residents of the village. She was seized by an attack of pneumonia on Wednesday evening and although doctor, nurse and loved ones had done .ill they could to restore her to health again, .•ihe i)eaccfully passed away to thf "Ueaiitil'ul Land Beyond," the fol- lowing evening. The deceu.sed, who was in her H8lh yeai- was able as u.-<ual to do her daily routine of hou.sehnld work until taken ill. She was a woman of fine Christian char- acter, a fond and unselfish mother, a kind iH'itrhbor anil Ixloved by those who knew her. .She was a member of the former Methodist church and of lute years the United Church. She attended the services regularly until the past few months. The late Mrs. Turner, whose maid- en name was Miss Martha Jane Crew, liauKhter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Crew. She was born in Char- loltetown, Prince Edward Island and was the last sui-vivor of a family of eight. While quite a small child, she moved with her parents to Scarboro where she spent her girlhood days. While there, she married Mr. Solomon Turner and two years later, the happy of a new freedom, a freedom primarily K""I''^' """•" ^^ Artemesia township and resided on the lOth line, where they as pioneers made a home for intellectual and spiritual, secondarily economic. I have witnefised here in Nova Scotia the beginning of a move- ment that will sweep Canada as it is sweeping the United States. It is the departure from relief and pauper- iim, a poison to this gerM?ration, to an order of self-help and intellectual growth, of spiritual integrity. The key to the movement is study, or- ganization, and as one leader ha.s put it, "on finding your lobster." It is spreading like wild-fii-e; it is spread- ing among the people that matter, '.he common people they are called; the workers, the farmers, the fishermen. Odds and Ends To-day I leave for the 5»outh of Nova Scotia. Thia part of the trip will include Halifax, the Annapolis Valley, and an Acadian community. Northern Nova Scotia is character- ized by its suitability for tourist trade. Much of the land is unsuited to industrj' or agriculture. This is the ar«a of the greatest rural depop- ulation im Canada; about CO'', in fiO years, although m^r own county of Orey is not far behind with 46'//. in the Rtfnw period. ^fcl.<t of the fam- ilies are depriiilent on more Hian one meaBK of livelihood.

Just fancy how quietly the niorry month of June is slipping by. Ex- amination time, people planning for holidays, except perhaps the farmers, they are too busy, crops and all other vegetation looks just fine, though we trust there will be no very heavy June frosts, for the growth is re- markable.
