Few places "around the Bay" surpass the beauty of North River, which winds up a picture-postcard valley, with little square houses standinq contentedly beside its loveliness. North River is known, not only for its pastoral beauty, but as the home of Mrs. Ellen Carroll, who died Dec. 6, 1942, at the aqe of 115. Mrs. Carroll was the oldest woman in the British Empire. South River, a mile or two away, was the site of the first sawmill to be buDt in Newfoundland, and here, too, the first land was cleared. Another example of the beautiful scenery to be found "around tbe Bay" is this IIcene at Avondale, at tbe head of Conception Bay. Its quiet rusticity is emphasized by the narrow dirt road, typical of Newfoundland's bundreds of secondary road.. The settlement, once an inshore and Labrador fisbinq centre, is now an aqricultural area. Avondale bas lost many of her sons to tbe United States, wbere they have become structural IIteel workers.
