is BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1934 MT 13 Charms Feature Roads In Nova Scotia Evangeline Land Pre- sents Besides Spots of Historic Interest The reputation Nova Scotia has won for its tuna fishing and foose hunting too often overshadows its historic importance, and tourists too often forget the early settlements there in 1604. From Windsor, eastern limit of what is known as "Evangeline Land," to Yarmouth, at the southwestern of the peninsula, on Canadian Highway 1, the territory tuRn 1s particularly rich historically, especially for those interested in the age-old French settlements known AS "L'Acadie." This section is reached by boats from New York and Boston sailing direct to Halifax, by Eastern Steamship Lines from Boston to Yarmouth, or by motor tour over U. S. 1 through Maine and New Brunswick to the ferry at Saint John, which crosses the Bay of Fundy into the famous resort city of Digby, N.

S. Or a motor tour continuing along the entire shore of the bay will bring the ourist to Parrsboro. N. a great salmon fishing re- gion. Evangeline Country Here the ferry should be taken across the Minas Basin, arriving at Wolfville and Grand Pre, in the heart of the famed Evangeline country.

The Acadians who lived at Grand Pre prior to the expulsion of 1745 were descendants of immigronts from France who settled in 1632, a dozen years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. Reminders of the great expulsion tragedy exist in that section today. "The forest primeval" still stands As a huge, dark green curtain to the south of the great prairie, and the 300-year-old elms skirt the edges of Evangeline Memorial Park. The original well is still in use, and while the houses were all burned at the time of the expulsion, the church at Grand Pre has been reconstructed and stands today as a permanent museum, under the sponsorship of the Dominion Atlantic Railway. Admission to American tourists is always Four.ded in 1604 It is but a few mile west to Kentville, commercial center of the Annapolis Valley and the Acadian country.

drive southwest brings the motorist to Annapolis Royal, oldest European settlement in North America north of the Gulf of Mexico, and named Port Royal when it was founded by the French in 1604. The ancient dykes and fortifications still remain. A few miles south brings the tourist to Digby. There the motorist may take the Princess Helene across the blue Bay of Fundy, a 45-mile trip to Saint John. Here on Highway 2 the motorist drives through picturesque New Brunswick towns to old Juebec Province; thence on to Levis, where the towering heights of Cape Diamond are crowned by the Chateau Frontenac.

From this ancient seat of French cuture in early America fully a dozen main, well paved highways lead back to the United States. Dress Hues Base Of Car Colors When new gowns are introduced by the leading modistes of Paris the public taste in color preference is determined by the applause which is given the different models as they parade before them. From that, the color of the year is determined. Motor manufacturers follow the color trend set by the modistes of Paris, It is their job then to mine what other colors may be used to accent the favored shades. From this point on, color ceases to be an art and becomes a science.

With mathematical instruments, color engineers in the Chrysler Corporation determine just what contrasting shades are needed to best display the primary color, There are more than 13,000 colors altogether, and 500 of them have been indexed and charted by color engineers so that by mathematics they may determine just what shades complement the others. "Colors reflect the economic conditions," Lindberg said. "In bad only in clothes automobiles, but times, somber colors, are found, not in rugs and curtains. Away back in ancient days, the rugs of the Persians showed definitely the rise and fall of the nation's fortune. Somber colors were used during war days or during days of scourge, but colors were bright when the armies were home.

The same thing is true in the change of automobile colors." MU NU CHI A meeting of the committee for the annual Winter dance of Mu Nu Chi sorority will be held tomorrow at the home of Mrs. W.

These models are xbuilt in 140 156, 170, 10 and 210- inch wheelbases. All these new Internationals are of the same streamlined design which is carried out in cabs and in panel bodies.

Both Richardson and Davids are amateurs and hd never driven the Alpine course. Both these cars were mounted on standard Hudson Eight chassis and equipped with Railton British bodies.

The International Alpine trial is regarded as the most severe of all car in Europe.

north New First Novel Is Weak Sketch in Samarra' Lacks the Unity of O'Hara Short Stories By WALTER SIDNEY Evangeline's Evangeline's Homeland With passing of Summer, motor travel attains unparalleled heights. Orange-hued Autumn offers colorful beauties to be seen at no other time of the year, and not the least of these are to be found in Canadian gions surrounding the Bay of Fundy. The great tides of the blue Bay of Fundy, ranging from 15 feet to 65 feet, depending on the season and the location, wash the shores of Canada's famous maritime provinces, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and at this season of the year attract thousands of motor tourists from the United States. The traveler in following this Bay of Fundy tour, often recommended by automobile club travel counsellors but hitherto unpublished, will discover a greater variety of seaside scenery and pass through a series of cities and towns whose tic, historical background is second to none on the Western Hemisphere. The motorist may commence this vacation trip at several different points, but the best suggestion is to start from old Yarmouth, reached by boats overnight from Boston; or from New York, less than a day away, aboard the Acadia.

Known as the great southwestern gateway to Nova Scotia, Yarmouth enjoys a deserved reputation as a Summer resort, and is exceptionally well blessed with beautiful motor roads and scenic drives, a fine hotel, facilities for bathing, canoeing, yachting, salmon and trout fishing and deer, moose and bear hunting. was originally known as "Cap FourThe country, 'round Yarmouth chu." a name bestowed on it by the explorer, Samuel Champlain, and meaning "forked" or "cloven hoof." It was renamed in 1759 by a group of settlers from Yarmouth. Mass. Motoring generally north from the ancient shipping city, the tourist finds himself in Port Maitland, 11 miles away on Canada-1, a faThe territory Yarmouth mous lobster and wishing, village. and Digby is along what is known as the "French shore" of the Bay of Fundy, the population being composed almost entirely of the lineal descendants of the original Acadians, who were banished from Nova Scotia in 1745.

Northward Meteghan the traveler comes to another FrenchCanadian fishing center, and the nets, traps and wiers in the St. Mary Bay are well worth seeing at low tide. Here, also, a wave of prosperity hit the little town during the period that the United States was in the throes of the prohibition era, for many a rum-runner sought shelter and supplies in this tiny port. Forty-five miles from Yarmouth lies Weymouth, on Canada-1; inally known as "Sissiboo." a euphonic Micmac Indian name meaning "big river." The town, which boasts of great pulp wood lumber operations, was founded the year peace was declared between Great Britain and the freed American colonies in 1783. A short run of 18 miles brings the tourist into Digby, approxihalf of the distance to Kentville.

It is interesting to note that dangerous grade crossings on the Nova Scotian roads are practically unknown. Digby, picturesquely, situated basin, was 'round founded a deep in 1776 by "tories" from New England, who had no desire to join in the against their mother country. It is named after Sir Robert Digby, famous British admiral. Bathing, canoeing, yachting, deep sea fishing, tennis, golf, riding and practically every recreational sport is available. golf courses, the Pines.

an 18-hole course of 6,330 yards, ideally situated overlooking the bay and beautiful rolling hills, and a ninehole community course, are available to motor tourists. The country around the Bay of Fundy, particularly Digby, is reputed to be perfect for the treatment and cure of hay fever which is nonexistent there. From Digby, the ferry to Saint John, N. a distance of 43 miles, may be secured. Passing Bear River, known as the "Switzerland of Nova Scotia," the motorist soon reaches Annapolis Royal, gateway to a wide hunting and fishing region, but better known as the oldest town in North America outside of the early settlements at St.

Augustine, Fla. A golf course commands a view of AnBasin, Annapolis Valnapolis. site of the historic old French and English fortifications, and the dykes, still in use, erected hundreds of years ago by thrifty French farmers to keep out the salt tides of the bay. The wooded slopes of North Mountain form an ideal background for the town, and its grass-grown ramparts which witnessed their last warlike scenes in 1791 when two American cruisers captured the fort and plundered the town. Passing through the flowergrown village of Bridtown the tourist soon arrives in Kentville, county seat and "headquarters" of the apple growing industry of the Annapolis Valley.

Kentville, also the home of the well-known Cornwallis Inn, a Canadian Pacific hostelry, is the "home grounds" for the Dominion Atlantic Railway which serves the province. It is also the western end of the famous "'Evangeline land," which stretches to Windsor on the way to Halifax. No American traveler will want to miss the country made immortal in Henry W. Longfellow's "Evangeline," and from the Cornwallis Inn a run of eight miles brings one to Grande Pre and the reconstructed church beside Evangeline's well. As Halifax is but 62 miles away, many tourists will visit the capital of the province, a city of 65.000 souls and the seat of the army and navy in Canada; nestled 'round the world's finest harbor.

The Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition and races close there Sept. 3, and the "old home week" celebrations at Lunenburg, N. takes place between Sept. 7 and 17, inclusive. From Wolfeville, the motorist may place his car aboard the ferry for Parrsboro, across the Minas Basin past the purple cliffs of Blomidon where amethysts are mined.

This brings the visitor to a great salmon fishing country, and, on Canada-2, the traveler motors direct to Amherst, three miles from the New Brunswick border; thence to Moncton and Sussex on Canada-2, and into Saint John, N. terminus of the ferry to Nova Scotia. Saint John, located at the mouth of the river of the same name, on the Bay of Fundy, is the largest city and port New Brunswick; discovered in 1604 by Champlain and DeMonts, and settled by New Englanders in 1762. Seventeen steamship lines connect it with the outside world. But 66 miles southwest, over Canada-1, lies St.

Andrews, known throughout the "maritimes" as the "Newport of the North." St. Andrews, home of the famous golf course named and patterned after the one Scotland, and locale of the "Hotel Algonquin, 'round which the social life of the part of the province resouthern, situated on Passamaquoddy Bay, an arm of the Bay of Fundy. It is unsurpassed in the conveniences it offers its visitors for deep sea fishing and for golf. If the traveler is returning to the United States into Maine, the ferry to Robbinston from St. Andrews will save 32 miles of excess driving.

Or the tourist may motor back to John and take the boat for Boston. Or, a better suggestion is to round out the trip by the run across New Brunswick. McCORRY ON SPOT Every time some veteran is released by the majors, his name is mentioned manager for the Albany club, although there is no reason that Owner Joe Cambria 'intends to supplant Bill McCorry. Harvey Hendrick, released by the Phillies, is the latest to be coupled with the job by gossip, but Harvey has denied an offer was ever made him to lead the club. Hack Wilson also drew mention.

It will be an experience meeting, the members called upon for two minute talka, From a reading of "Appointment in Samarra," a first novel by John O'Hara, it is clear that he has not yet graduated from the short story technique, a field in which he has met success. The book lacks theme worthy of being treated in a novel.

It moves along sketchily, going through a number of incidents and characterizations only barely relevant to the main line of the plot. The story deals with Julian English, a young and successful automobile dealer in a medium sized Pennsylvania town. He and his wife, Caroline, are both unconventionally minded and very much in love with each other. She, however, a romantic girl, is faithful to him, while he has a fondness for drink. and when drunk, a passion for other women.

At the opening of the book Julian, slightly pickled, throws A cocktail in the face of a respectable and wealthy member of the Country Club. This foolishness alienates some of his best customers. Instead of trying to redeem himself. however, he makes a greater fool of himself. He gets drunk again in night club, and ends by having an affair with the mistress of the town's chief racketeer.

There follows a quarrel between Julian and his wife, they separate, and he kills himself. That is all there is to the story, although a host of other characters are introduced. We are given sketches of Julian's father, a staid doctor, and his grandfather, A banker; of Caroline's first love, who had met a tragic death; of Luke Ziegler, Julian's assistant; of the town bootlegger, and his private gunman; of the members of the respectable Irish Catholic set, whom Julian offended. These and others are described in much detail for no especial reason that we could find. The author takes up none of the problems which their presence raise, either that of the undercurrent of feeling between Catholic and Protestant, the flimsiness of morals in Julian's set, or the matter of marriage between conflicting temperaments.

Neither does he provide Julian with a sound enough basis for his unconventionality, or motivation for his suicide. There is a certain amount of vivid and dramatic writing and an appalling lot of detail about the private life of the various people brought between the covers. This book is neither good nor very bad. A first novel, it indicates that its creator has a good eye and a skillful pen, but has SO far found nothing worth writing about.
