French gxplorer--Jacques Cartieg in 1533. Authentic history of the region begins with the coming of Samuel de Champlain in 1604. Entering the harbor of a mighty river on the feast of John the Baptiste, June 24, Champlain gave the river the name of the Saint. The company afterward coasted southwestward and spent a disastrous winter on Dochet's Island (now United States soil) In the St. Croix River. Of 79 men, 35 died of cold and scurvy, Thére followed a century and a halt of ill-defined grants made by the soverelgns of both England and France; and conflicting claims gave rise to bitter warfare -which hinged on fish and fur. OPENED SEVEN YEARS' WAR The destiny of the New World was decided on the soil of the Pro- vince in 1755. In the spring of that year an English force from _ Boston under Colonel Robert Monckton_sailed northward to take Fort Beausejour. The French gar- rison surrendered on June 18, 1765, and the occupation of the position by the English is regarded as the opening of the Seven Years War In America. Part of the ruins of Beausejour may still be seen near Backville. Many relics aro housed in a museum which has been built there. - t At the close of the War of In. dependence in 1783, many United Empire Loyalists emigrated to the continuing British Colonies, The first shiploads reached Saint John on May 18, 1783. With this influx of settlers the .orstwhile County of Sunbury became tha Province of New Brunswick. On July 1, 1867, New Brunswick entered Canadian Confederation.

Will Present to Cit- lzens of Dominion a Picture of the War Effort In Which the Country Is Engaged The 1941 Canadian National Ex- hibition which opens on August 22 in Toronto, and runs to September 6, will, say C.N.E. officials, be even more concerned than in 1940 with presenting to the Canadian citizen the important role the Dominlon is playing in alding the Mother- land against a malevolent foe. "We have allgned eur efforts with those of the government and all agencies engaged n the pro- tection of our liberties, freedom "and the national well-being," sald President John Millar of the C.N.E. recently in speaking of plans for the forthcoming Exhibition. "We realize," he sald, "that we havo becn-entrusted 'with an instru. ment for great good. I helieve Can- adians and visitors from other countries will be much impressed with the picture of Canada's war effort as reflected at the Exhibition this year. Our exhibitors have a keen sense of their responsibilities in this crisis and are extending their utmost co-operation. DIVERSION AND RELAXATION a Ell "Of course," he want on, "Wo are keenly aware of the necessity for a measure of diversion and re- laxation In this time of stress.

We are highly enthused by the prospects for a really great Exhibition and there is ample reason at this junclure to ~ could be made so, to provide all % our citizens with proper food sup- plies, evidence is accumulating to _ Indicate that many Canadians are not well fed," Dr. E. W. McHenry, of Toronto, said in an address in Montreal at the 30th annual con- vention of the Canadian Public Health Apsociation. "The growth and health of chil- dren cannot be normal unless they are properly fed, nor can healthy babies -be produced if mothers suf- fer from malnutrition," sald Dr. McHenry, a professor in the Uni- vorsity of Toronto's High School . of Hyglene, : "Accurate information regarding *our nutrition conditions has only been available in_ recent years," Dr. McHenry said. "In 1935 the Do- minfon Department of Agriculture carried out extensive surveys on the consumption of milk and cer- tain protein foods and the results showed that there was a relation between financlal income and the use of milk, meat and eggs. One- third of the children in families ng the lowest incomes were ot receiving' milk to drink." EED PROGRAM OF EDUCATION The reason for tHe failure of Canadians to secure proper food supplies, Dr. McHenry sald, were twofold: (1)--The financial in. ability of some families to pur. chase the right foods In adequate amounts, and (2)--A lack of nutri- tlonal information, "There is urgent need," he said. "for a national undertaking to pro- vido information about wise and economical choice of 100ds. In time of war it {s 'particularly important that our people he as well fed as possible to "alntain health and working eftiélenty. - YER "WOULD HELP FARMERS | "The status .of nuteition_is aot y now satisfactory and it could be markedly improved with little ex- pense by an intensive program of ~ education.

"An improvement in Canadian food habits," he added, 'should mean a betterment of markets for Canadian farm products.

Australia are co-operating "in photographing from the air every square foot of the Common- wealth's 8,000,000 square miles of territory. The scheme may take years to complete, and its cost . will run into millions, expect that we will have one of the most spectacular and success. ful shows in our. history." According to Elwood A. Hughes, general manager of the C. N. BE, exhibitors and concessionalres are contracting for exhibit space with great enthusiasm. "In all my exper- fence of the Exhibition," he sald. "I have not seen a.comparable con- ditlon so early in the year. Per- haps they have in mind the success of the Exhibition of 1940 in the face of a certaln amount of crit- fclsm regarding the wisdom of carrying on during war time. "On a recent visit to Ottawa," sald Mr. Hughes, "I was assured of the hearty co-operation of the navy, army and alr force, and other of- ficlals, and the three services will play a spectacular part in our act ivities this year. * "Any opposition to the holding of the show this year has dls- appeared, especially because of the assurance of the government that Exhibition Park and buildings were not required for military purposes In the summer months. The ag- gressive attitude of manufactur ers, export and Import groups, and their determination to carry on it only as a war measure scems to reflect the spirit of the Canadian people." © VOICE - OF THE PRESS A NEW HOLY WAR With such names as Damascus and Tyre appearing in the war dispatches, this struggle seems to assume greater aspect as a Holy War. : --Chatham News. -- \ READ AND FORGET ~--Any-time-you-feel the worly-is---|---- going to the dogs entirely, réad the advertisements of the perfect happiness to be found at the Sum- mer resorts. - ~~. _~Stratfcrd Begcon-Herald, ) --0-- "SPARE 'THAT TREE" Trees can be felled with a few strokes of an axe but they require years upon patient years to grow to their tall, ornamental stature.

THE WAR- WEE K--Commentary on Current Events Russo - German Conflict - Possible But Unlikely "In a short time something great will happen: You just wztch and wait."--Lleut.-Gen. eral Yamashita, head of the Japanese military mission to the Axis powers. "Russia abides by provisions of the Russo-German pact, in view of which rumors. to the effect that the U.S.8.R. Is pre- paring for war with Germany are false and provocational.'-- Tass, officlal Soviet news agency. +o Despite strong denials on the part of the Soviet Government, insistent rumors that war between Germany and Russia was immin- ent swept all Europe last week and continued to receive the ma. Jor share of attention from the press and radio on this side of the Atlantic. However distorted the truth of the reports, there was . no doubt about this, that some- thing big was in the offing. Part of Peace Offensive? In the opinion of this column the four most plausible explan- ations for the reported massing® of German troops on Russias frontiers were: 1. The move could be a' gigan- tie feint engineered by Hitler to screen his preparations for a real smash in the west against Gibraltar, - against Ireland, or Great Britain herself, The long- feared invasion might very well be at hand, 2, The move might' be part of a8 great peace offensive being "launched in an undérground sort of way by the Nazi higher-ups. (A more fantastic explanation, but remember Hess! If Hess' mission were what we think it was, he flew to Britain with the i purpose leaders that it would be better to call off the war between Bri- tain and Germany and let Hitler clean up on the Reds instead). The dispatch of a hundred divi- sions of Nazi troops to.the Rus- sian border could then _ strued as evidence of Hitler's good faith in making that type of peace proposal. The Screws on Turkey 8. Hitler might be' severe pressure on Russia to ac- cede to reported demands for fur- ther economic collaboration. The wheat and dil he needs so badly are to be found ir vast quantity in the Soviet Union. 4. In the view of Kirke Simp- son, Associated Press correspond- ent, Hitler was seeking to im- mobilize Russia while he put the heat on Turkey to "collaburate" with the "It appears unlikely," eaid Simpson, "That German military efficiency would risk-a 2,000-mile round-about march through Rus- sia to reach Iran or Iraq and their vitally sources with a better and shorter Turkish. route available, Germany apt to have to fight Rus- .sia merely to obtain additional supplies of grain and oil from Russian sources if that is all Ber- lin is after."
