No. 10, Kinloss, presented the National Film Board pictures. The first picture of the white con tinent and the expedition to Queen Maud Land in the Antarctic, where they used planes to find open water in the ice fields, built houses for winter, and used small boats and aqua-planes, was in contrast to former expeditions, and especially interesting. The film on the great development in industry and hydro power in the pictures of Quebec compared the methods people used while trying to make a home in the forest, with the big machinery sent in now, to clear the land and make roads. The group decided to pay the fee of $10 a year and have the pictures each month.
