S. ATKEY, Editor and Business Manager A. L. COLQUHOUN, Plant Manager THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 1952 The Year That Lies Ahead ' A GREAT CHALLENGE $confronts 'Can- adians as , they enter the year 1952. Tremendous things are happening in the 'development of our natural resources and the great growth of our country along many lines. As The Financial Post comments, "millions upon millions of dollars from other countries are pouring in here seeking safe refuge and employment." Canada's decision to build our national ,defenees against danger and evil continues firm and unimpaired. Those two things — new investment and defence spending — are factors which are basic in any look at the way ahead. The big challenge for Canadians in 1952 is to think big enough to comprehend the new order pf magnitude which prevails in our country. An Englishman told us the other day: "The trouble with you Canadians is that you don't know—or won't realize—just what you possess in this great nation of yours!" At least—in 1952—let's make an attempt to live up to all this "bigness." New Year's Resolutions (Ontario Department NOW IS THE TIME when most of us have been making our annual New Year's 'resolutions, so this year, by way of a change why, mot make one or two that ,will help con- .. serve the beauties and the natural resources of our Province. The farmers, for the most part, -were far `too „busy last year to put into practice all the things they wanted to do in the way of plant- * ing.trees on Wasteland:and shelterbelts, around buildings and building, farm,ponds. The sports- men, especially those with guilty consciences, already have firmly resolved not to take any ;;;:trout; less than ,seven inches in length,_ to re- frain from exceeding the legal bag limits and never to shoot anything that is out of season. There are a lot, of us though, who are - neither farmers non sportsmen and whose only claim to,being outdoors-men is a common love of the beauties of the country side —. What -then can we do in the interests of conserva- tign? In the first place we can resolve not to ,pick any, of the native wild flowers which grow so plentifully in this district. Few' people realize that the wholesale picking of-our wild 'flowers is resulting in the extermination of some of the most beautiful of the plants of our woods and fence rows. The trilliums, the of Lands and Forests) dog tooth Violets and the hepaticas once were quite plentiful, but, have become quite rare in some districts as a result of this ruthless picking, so let us resolve to admire our native flowers in their natural surroundings where others can enjoy them besides ourselves. Another resolution which we might profit- ably make, is to go out and see for ourselves more of our wildlife In our woods. Few of us realize just how easily accessible are the woods and the wildlife of our province. If you care to take a comparatively short motor trip to some of our Provincial Parks, you will find that many of the best beaches and camp sites haye been reserved for the use of the public and in all of them is free camping accommodation, whilst most have all facilities and fireplaces. All you 'have to do is driVe in with your camping equipment, and 'Mother. Nature and the Department of Lands and -FOiveits provide the rest. A 'cOttage site may be purrhased in these parks frank the Government for as little as $30 plus the cost of surveying and if you are very arnbitiqus, you may buy' a whole island for the price of a city lot. So let us resolve that this year we will see all we can of the outdoors and that we will conserve and not destroy its beauties and its riches. The Best and Worst Movies A PLACE IN THE SUN was named best movie -of a951 by critic Clyde Gilmour in the January 1 issue of Maclean's Magazine. Gil- mour says that Montgomery Clift and Shelley Winters came through with "the rnest *ling performances of their careers" under director George Stevens, for whom this was "the crowning achievement." ' Maolean's choice for the year's worst movie is Where Danger Lives, with Robert Mitchum and Faith Domergue. .Most of the films among the ten best— which intlede A Streetcar Wanted, Desire, 'The Browning Version, 'The Lavender Hill Mob and An American in Paris—are well known save for The River, "a beautiful fam about nature's wonders and the aches of young love in India." Gilmour's "ehoice for best actress of the year goes to Vivien Leigh for her part in A, Streetcar Named Desire, while "the Year's top acting job, beyond any ,doubt . . was that of Michael Redgraye as the despairing school- master in The Browning Version." On the whole Maclean's finds "the Worst films of 1951 were about as bad as the worst of 1050," but "the best ones were the best in a long time." ...reoresasse A DEN NIT!

Who lays down the money and does it quite gladly, And costs round the offic7 a halo of cheer. He never says, "Stop it; I cannot afford it, I'm getting more magazines now than I read"; But always says, "Send it; our people all like it— In fact we all think it a help and a need." How welcome his order when it reaches our office, How it makes our pulse throb; how it makes our heart dance? We outwardly thank him; we itilvardly bless him— The steady subscriber who Pays in advance. —The Lamp. We extend our good wishes for the New Year. May 1952. fulfill your every wish!
