O • • With some of the most varied and spectacular scenery in the hemisphere, the Province of Alberta in Western Canada al- so gives the tourist a rare op- portunity to take a trip 90 mil- lion years back into time! This he can do in the Valley of the Dinosaurs -- the Badlands of Alberta. The area from the city of Red Deer along the Red Deer River to the point where it joins the South Saskatchewan is known as the badland region of the province. In this bare, dry soil, deeply scarred by erosion, are fossil "signposts" pointing back to unimaginably ancient times. Although fossils are found throughout the area, they are Jack Morris of Essex County was elected president of the Junior Farmers' Association of Ontario last Friday at the as- sociations' annual meeting and conference at the University of Guelph. Other officers are; vice- president, Patricia Knox, of R R. 1, Hampton; secretary- treasurer, Carm Hamilton, of Toronto; past president, Alex Connell, of R. R. 3, Palmer- ston; executive committee: Del- mer Cavanagh, of Kinburn; Alex Connell; Grant Richard- son, of R. R. 4, Dunnville; Bert Albisser, of Oxdrift; Maurice Love, of R.R. 3, Exeter; Ed- ward Segsworth, of Burlington. Mr. Morris told the 600 del- egates that $3, 000 will be pre- sented to the Canada Mysore project from the group's free- dom from hunger project start- ed in February last year. The money will be used to train three people in Mysore, India, in food technology. One per- son will get a two-year scholar- ship and two others will get four-month scholarships. A slight decrease in mem- bership was noted in the 193 Junior Farmer and Junior Insti- tute clubs, but it is felt that membership fluctuates from year to year and the organiza- tion is nevertheless in a healthy condition. Past president Alex Connell urged members to take a great- er part in their communities and suggested that programs in the future be broadened to in- clude a wider scope on the provincial level. On Saturday afternoon stud- ents from Macdonald Institute staged a fashion show for the girls and in the evening more most frequently discovered in the vicinity of Drumheller and again near Brooks. As Highway 9 approaches Drumheller from the west, the terrain suddenly changes from gentle rolling prairie to a mile- wide, 400 foot-deep valley. The scene from the outlook point above Horseshoe Canyon is astounding, with multicolor- ed striated terraces and sheer ravined walls. Far below, the picturesque Red Deer river winds its way southeast to meet the South Saskatchewan. This is the Val- ley of the Dinosaurs, and there is nothing like it in all of Can- ada. Here you can find petri- fied wood in abundance, fossil shells, berries and cones from than 600 attended the dinner. Agricultural Minister Wm. Stewart was a guest at the din- ner.

SLOW START BEST Elderly persons would be well advised to slow up when they rise in the morning. On waking, lie still for a few min- utes. Sit up slowly. Spend a few minutes sitting on the side of the bed before standing and walking around. Take the stairs easily, resting before you complete a long flight. And al ways hold the banister. some eons-dead landscape, and even whole beds of ancient oy- sters. But it is the dinosaur re- mains that have made the area famous among paleontologists the world over. The first discovery of the immense dinosaur bones was made by Dr. J. B. Tyrell in 1884. Charles H. Sternberg Sr. explored the river by floating down it on a raft from Red Deer in 1912; on August 12th of that year he discovered the first complete dinosaur skeleton to be unearthed in Canada. Since 1912, more than 30 dinosaur skeletons have been excavated in the Drumheller area, and over 45 species have been iden- tified. The enormous reptiles dom- inated the earth for about 150 million years throughout the Mesozoic era which ended about 60 million years ago. The dino- saur remains found in the Drum- heller area are all from the late Cretaceous period, the twilight age during which the dinosaurs finally died out. Judging from fossil plant life found with the Drumheller dino- saurs, they lived in a dank, warm, moist lowland. This was the western edge of the In- land Sea (1000 miles wide and three times as long) with swam- py delta-like shores not unlike parts of Florida today. Active volcanoes showered ash and dust over the interior from time to time. With a forty-ton bulk that included only a one-pound brain, the average dinosaur was probably immersed whenever possible in swampy waters that helped buoy up his overblown body. His day must have been spent in constant eating - for a good-size dinosaur undoubtedly required a daily half-ton of fodder! Why did these huge creatures disappear? Perhaps they were unable to compete with more efficient warm-blooded mam- mals which appeared at the end of the Cretaceous; small mam- mals may have preyed upon their eggs. The climate of the earth was also changing from constant warmth to seasonal ex- tremes of heat and cold; swamps were becoming uplands, and prairies turned into mountains. The dinosaurs may simply have been unable to adapt to these changes - but scientists don't know for sure. The Alberta Government has undertaken the development of a park in the Brooks area robe known as Dinosaur Park. This area, a gold mine for paleon- tologists, has yielded 112 speci- mens ,row in museums all over the world. Specimens were ob.. rained from quarries 2125-2328 feet above sea level.
