MAY •IT BE IN 1963
Anyone who thinks a Provincial Park
in Huron County is not needed :lihould
dome here some summer Sunday and see-
the swarms of motorists driving aimless-
ly about looking for a lakeside spot an
which to land. But they are greeted only
with such signs as No trespassing" or
.`It'rivate property." In• the years that
lie ahead the prob'let is going to beeom•e
increasingly aggrav ting., It is a situa-
tion which only the Provincial govern-
ment can now remedy.
Huron County Council has already
petitioned the Ontario governmemt to in-
vostigate the desirability of establishing
a Provincial Park in Huron. This ,is to
lie followed up by a visit to Hou. Kelso
' 'il.oberts, Ontariominister of lands and
forests. In the meantime, copies of the
Huron County resolution suggesting a
I''rovincia1 Park for Huron have been cir-
culated to many municipalities in the
Province. County Clerk J. G. Berry re-
ports there has been a flood of endors-
ations on this resolution •not only on the.
Parkin IIuron would provide. Tliis Move-
tnent-is already indicated in statistics from
the Inverhuron Provincial Park in neigh -
Bruce county. Of those who used
this park in ,1961, there were 64 per cent
who travelled to it within a radius of 100
miles of the park )while 36 per cent were
from a radius of over 100 miles.
During the period from May 15 to
October 15 this year, •a total of well over
100,000 people visited Inverhuron Prov-
incial Parks. Approximately one quarter
of these people cramped there while the
remainder used the beach and picnic, fac-
ilities.
In 1961, a total of 94 per cent of In-
verhuron's day -use visitors came from Ont-
ario, 1 -per cent from other provinces and
five per cent :from, IT.S.A.
liiverhuron Provinei4 Park'sstatris-
tics on why , visitors used it reveal rea,
sons they would use such a park in Hur-
on County also : 31 per cent planned to
have a pienie ; 30 per cent wanted to swim ;
2 per cent i.14anted to fish; 2 per cent want-
ed to go l a.ting- '4 per ccs wanted to.
hike • 5 per cent Nva'nted to ei gage iu. nat-
and relax; 5 per cent wanted to engage
in other activities.
. 1i'hatev:er comes to-Iluron County in
1963, we hope one of th6ni will be the
approval of the Ontario goyer11m(nt for a
•Provincial Park in Huron. If ever . this
County is to have one, now is the time' for
action. ''�'e believe the freed for one is
pre ing now and will become increasing-
ly so in the future.

MESSAGES
t FROM
THE WQRD
a BY
GODERICH MINISTERIAL
• ASSOCIATION
A NEW YEAR'S MESSAGE .�
By Rev. Canon Kenneth E. Tay-
lor, M.A., D.D., St. George's
Church
"Lay not up for yourselves
treasures upon earth, where.
moth and rust doth corrupt, and
Where thieves break through
and steal: But lay up for your-
selves treasure in heaven." (St.
Matt. 6:19-20.)
We are citizens Or two worlds,
both real—the`physical world of
material things, time and space,
and the spiritual world of char-
acter, religion a`d eternity.
During our earthly • pilgrimage
we lay up treasure or wealth
of both kinds, earthly and hcav-
anly. Treasure on earth has its
proper value and uses but ends
in total .loss, "You can't take
it with you." The other kind.
"treasure in heaven," is a man's
spirit, it is what constitutes his
character. This kind of treasure
survives death -'-it is indeed
"true riches," for it has eternal
value both in this life and in
the life hereafter.
Most of ,us 'have crossed the
international ,border and have
obediently opened up suitcases
so that the Custqm Officer might
check the contents to see what
wewere taking with us "across
the border." In one of his books
Maurice Baring tells of a dream
he had, He had arrived at the
border of the Next World and
was confronted with the demand
"Have you got anything? to de-
clare?" The question was not in
regard to tobacco or .radios or
clothing but concerned charac-
ter, items of moral and intel-
lectual worth. What had he in
art and mind that would qual-
if ' him for admission to life
eternal.
As we approach the begin-
ning of a New Year it is well
for all of us to take a serious
appraisal - of our, characters.
What we have to declare? Any-
thing of moral and spiritual
worth, any "heavenly treasure
Yoy as a citizen of this world
but also a member of Christ,
what "heavenly treasure" have
you acquired on your earthly
pilgrimage?
Some off us are in the glad
morning of life, some in the full
vigor of maturity and on others
the shadows of life's eventide
are softly falling. But such are
the chances and changes of this
mortal life that any day any
one of us may suddenly find
himself at ,the border of 'the
Next World. What will you
have to declare? Not what
people think of you; not what
an obituary notice might men-
tion, but what have ypu of
eternal worth to declare unto
"Almighty God unto whom all
hearts are open, all desires
known an&Jrom whom no sec-
rets are hid?"

Evidently, some resident 9f
Italy, with heart overflowing
with Yuletide spirits, decided
to mail a bottle of the "vino)'

rich. .Alas. '4The sentiment
was strong, but the package
was we; the bottle under-

baffled sunlight seeped out all

• The sad situation came to

reflection, warming his heart
only in the warmth of the
good intention.

A SAD CHRISTMAS
It was a sad Christmas for tile
family of Martin Straughan, 148
Britannia road, because of their
11 -year-old- dog, a family pet;
being struck by a hi,t-and'run
driver. The dog's leg was brok-
en in three places by the car
which hit him and the veterin-
arian 'decided the dog had to
be done awax with. An observ-
'r of the incident, who failed to
get the license number of the
car driver, stated the hit-and-
run driver never paused a Ino-
ment after hitting the dog. '
