The desire ol America lor a “good
time" is not a modern notion. It is
of respectable antiquity, having been
born more than 300 years ago. Cham
plain, the great explorer, looking for a
route to China, discovered Port Royal
in 1604. He and his bold mariners,
turning the end of Nova Scotia into
the Bay of Pundy, found a hole in
the wall of North Mountain, entered
Annapolis Basin through Dlgby Gut
and. tide-borne, sailed up the An
napolis Basin and built a fort at Port
Royal, now Annapolis Royal. While
there. Champlain founded a society
which he named "L’Ordre de Bon
Temps.** literally the Order of Good
Times. To celebrate this Dr Healy
Wlllan, famous Canadian composer,
recently composed a ballad opera
which had its premiere in Quebec
during the Canadian Folksong and
Handicraft Festival May 24-28.
Annapolis Royal, with its Dominion
Park covering the old fort, the French
powder house, the “black hole," the
officers' quarters built by the Duke of
Kent, Queen Victoria’s father, is one
of the most interesting of many his
torical spots in Nova Scotia. Its
museum is in itself a history of
Canada’s “Bluenose Province.** In
fancy, visitors can see Champlain and
hla companions enjoying themselves
as members of the New World's first
club, •‘L'Ordre de Bon Tempo."
Annapolis Royal. Digby. Kentvllle,
Grand Pre and Halifax are all well
worth a visit. Yarmouth, which la
but an over-night Journey from Bos
ton and about a day’s trip from
Montreal, puts the traveler on the
Dominion Atlantic Railway for a trip
through Nova 8cotla to Halifax. In
cluding "Tha Land of Evangeline,"

Acadians and Longfellows ne'-olxia
were expelled in 1755 At Grand Pre,
