We may thlitic so but it certainly could be and ;before things are straightened out it may be. We have not individually done our part or things would not be as they are.

We could not see the wind but we could quite plainly see the des- tructioa which it eaued., We cannot actually see discontent, but if we persist in -harbouring it, it will not be long before we show it. Let us litre our days with an earnest effort to do what is right and to live as God would have us live. We cannot do this, without prayer. Are we afraid for anyone to see us in the attitude of prayer. We are all given many things to do, things which God has set us aside to do. To may of us they are not large or important, but in the sight of God they are just as im- portant as if they were, and it is our duty to give them as careful at tention as if they were.

An interesting nevasnaper brown with age but with no indica- tion of the year of 'publication was recently handed to us by a reader. We hope that historyaisrat going to repeat the year 1816. The clipping reads as follows: "Milton, Jan 26 (Special)—The early settlers of UpPer Canada testily earned the title "hardy pion- eers", it is indicated in the nomnoirs of Benjernin D. Weldbrook, who same to Trafalgar Township earl' in the lest eentury. Covering a period of more than eighty years, Mr. Waldbrook's recol- lections of pi6heer life in Halton contain stories of hardship arid suf- fering whish make the recent "de- pression" seem like is period of un- bounded prosperity. From the wri- ter's,,deseription the Western farmer who 'struggled for a niesaae exis- tence during the years of drought and plague is the only modern Cana- dian who can really understand the word "hardship". Otte of the first and worst ex- perienees of the early pioneers in Halton was the "summerlessh year of 181a, he remembers. The spring of that year was promising, but what followed, NT. Waldbrook m8,, was neve forgotten by the settlers throughout their lives. • "Snow commenced, falling in the' middle of June. By the middle of August it was a foot in depth .and from the first fall in Juin until the following spring the earth remained under the covering of a whiter blan- ket, - Absolutely nothing in the way of harvest was garnered, with all crops rotting in the ground under the snow. Whet dirt the people live* on ? Meat an fish. There were no vegetable* and flour was an un- drealiamf hetury. It was venision and fish all through the year and they were not easy to get. All the cattle were slaughtered for food, as there had been no feed for them. anyway. Hay was shipped from Ireland for the starving cattle about Quebec,. and it sold there for $45. per ton. Even next spring, flour was selling. at $17.00 per barrel at Quebec and potatoes were a penny -a pound." ' Uhheard of before er since pioneer days, arid much like the plagues sent to scourge the Egyptians in the days •of Moses, was a visitation of frogs, which Mr. Waldbrook recalls, in the early '30's ' "The frogs came downhwith show- ers felling efrem a clear sky." he remembers "They destended• in thou sands; and I remember how, as a boy, I jumped when they fell • upon me. But that was not all. The continued rains, together with the blazing sun and the deesarihg frogs, gave us a Wet India climate in this province, The air was .poisonous with decaying matter and pestilence stalked through the /and. Almost every home was visited by cholera and' victims were numbered by hundreds. Somewhat resembling the modern grasshopper plague in the Canadian West, was a plague of army worms which swept through Upper Canada in 1833, Mr. Waldbrook says in his memoirs. During the plague, the pests appeared "by the millions""and covered roads and fences. Swarming over trees, the pests laid them bare in midsummer "as they ordinarily are in midwinter". The growing grain almost completely disappeared and what remained was "barely fit for hog feed'," 14 Stanley15/P411a4c5e Edinburgh Ts The Bayfield Community: 1 mast write you and thank you for your lovely Easter parcel which I received two days' ago.

ONE of the favorite laments of many unimaginative photogra- phers is that they don't take pic- tures any more because wartime restrictions prevent them from trav- eling to interesting photogenie areas. Alas for them! They'll never • be good photographers. Familiarity breeds contempt in all but the heaven -born, who came into the world with vision enough to see beauty everywhere For one of these a lifetime would be insufficient to record on film all the beauties of his home town: Nothing could be quite so stimu- lating to the ithagination and so full of pictorial possibilities as a self - assigned project of making a pic- torial record of one'S home town. Most of as go mentally blind, taking things for granted. ramiliar things' no longer exist. To go In search of them would be like recapturing something of our childhood. We not only would see things we had for- gotten existed but we would see familiar things in new light t Today's Illustration shows a scene of somebody's home town in winter. That little street alone would make a delightful series photographed through all the seasons of the year. 1 Look at that line 'old church sit- ting at the end of the street as if watching over the town. How well the photographer has caught all that simple beauty against a gray (Yellow filtered) sky! You cannot photograph beauty unless you see it and are moved by it. This pliotog- rapher saw it, was Moved -by it, and. knew how to, show it and convey his feelings about it. He chose the perfect angle for a completely har- monious and placid picture. Far placidity, 'place the important part of your picture in dead center. The church clock Shows that it was 12:45 probably on a Sunday afternoon *hen most of the towasfolk were having dinner. Everything is quiet and serene, and the churth in dead center emphasizes that serenity. We have been arousing your in- terest today in your home town by way of stimulating your imagine- tion to better photography. So look around with fresh vision and, above, all, try to keep inkmind what your home town boys bn the fighting fronts would give to be back to See what you are seeing every day. Ana when you've made some of those Wile town pictures make extra pante and send them to those boys whose hearts everlasthigly need warming from the home front. Pie. tures from home of their home town will remind them vividly of whott they are really fighting for, John van Guilder
