A while back I was some ick meseif"'. Any frue-blue thou.gh trans- planted Maritimer will know right off that I'm back on the eastern seaboard and have al- ready engaged one aduit New- foundiander in folksy conversa- tion. Our American neighbors inake miaeh of their colorful, regional dialects but 1 doubt if the Engllsh language was ever more queintly voiced than in Canada'.

The story about Newfoundland- ers being frosty cold and hard to know la a myth, nothing more. No one who taika like that could be cold, hard to know or anything short cf good- neighborly. And the man iI quote is a typical son of Can- ada's Island in the eastern sea. My only regret is that I met him on the mainl'and and not on the rugged face ot his home. ile. I came down here te attend * convention but I'm having * livlng-learning bail in the bargain.. There is a lot to be said for Western hospitality- in tact, a lot IS said about Wes- tern hospitality-but even be- ing a strayed Westerner my- self, I'm thinking a great deal more should be said for East- ern hospitality. The people of these Atlantic provinces are friendly, tun-lov- ing and outgoing. Not once li three weeks have I met anyone to match the tart, taciturn Mar- Rtimer of my imagination. Oh, I have run into tacit types; persans who spend words like gold coin and niake one sentence do the work of a whole para- graph, but these afe the color- fui characters of the place; fermera, fishermen andi retiresi seamen mostly with more thought for the whirns of wea- ther than the winning wiles ef social niceties. But even with themn reticense la net intended ta be impolite and neithen shauld it be construesi as indif- ference. Once assuesi et epa- tient ear, en open mid andi a syrnpathetic heart these seme "stout, strong ansi silents'" cm spi oral tales cf-adventure thati mae Jack London's wrltten sagas of landi andi sea - aeem tame. Their dsdamn for super- fluous words andi dressy adjec- tives make their tales of pion- eering, privation ansi persever- ance the mare stark andi excit- Ing. Most Maritimers, I finsi, are well aware that other parts of Canada tend te regard theni as being "lsomewhat backward" and their areas as "somewhat behinsi the Urnes". But such overland opinion seeta t cause more amusement than anger. As was explainesi te me, "da Maritimer knows what lie knowsand si anet too muoh con- cernesi with what semeone else thinks he knows". There was a tume, I'xn told, when such dis- paraging charges rankled andi rilesi but today. with the tacts on his side, the average Mari- timer tends te regard such ai- legations with tangue-in-cheek goosi humer. Penhaps because lie plans te have the asat laugh. The feeling here seems ta be that the sun always rises lni the East andi while it may etay "set" in the West for years it la bounsi te risce ver Eastern horizons again. There is less of myth about this than about some of the stories spread far and wide about static stoicism ansi stale- ness li the Maritimes. The aduit Maritimer can ne- memnber when the Western fermer, new held up as a ahining agricultural example before hall the world, was labeilesi "backward"; when the people of Ontario, now - considered among the most cosmopolitan ePurd7 I on the continent, were regare as"atodgy and old-fashioned". Thnigon this, lie knows his innings will corne. Perliaps fori these resens es much as for econom.i cocnsideration the Maritime provinces have this year made the most detenmined combined effort et their bus- tory to attrect tounlata tfom other.parts efthte landi. As one weil-travelled Mai- timer pointed out te me, "Few Canadians knaw enything ebout~ Our part of the country. They have-a.lot of unfounded Mdeas but ne tacts.

Il wonder that any Canadian ceni ignore the magnetism ef Mari- time history. But then, I have long wondered why s0 many Canadians make yeanly pilgnim- age te much publicisesi monu- ments et Americanidepen- dence while so consistently ignoring scenes ot our own proud national pat dotted, as they are, frem one coast te the other. It seernste me the suc- 4assrdul "Know Ontario Bet- ter" Program shouisi be broacl- ened to "Know Canada Better"' proportions. Too, I think more publicity shouisi be devotesi to the histonical backgrounds cf our individual provinces se that just as many Canadians would be intereste ini following the historic, auperhuman trk 0 f New Brunswick forces te aug- ment British battallions nt Kingston during the war of 1812 as are interestesi in tol- iowing the American Custer'. march route ta the Little Big Hemn. And, juat incidentaily, that 400 mile march tramn New Brunswick te Kingston is con- sîderesi one of the meat remark- able in history, our own or any- one else's.

Leaning with pride on their past, Maritimers are now ioeking with pnide to their future. A trite saying, but truc in this niche et the nation. If Dame Fortune has seen fit te flit around, but neyer with- mn, the Maritimes provincial bordera these past many yeans, Maitimers are looking for a change ini Fortune'a habits. Even now the torerunners cf changing Fortune are ta be seen. The building boom that hit Ontario ten yeara or more ago has, et long last, corne te rost in the Maritimes.
