represents a subject possessed
of an infinity of facets, some ma-
terial, some spiritual, but all
vital to the well-being of the
community as .a whole. This
being -the case, it is lamentable,
that the public mentality should
remain so comparatively ignor-
ant of the essential interest the
subject holds for them. Why,
for example, do we enact a
zoning `law? Theoretically it is
done because civilized individ-
uals possess the ability to dis-
criminate between the pleasant
and the purely material. They
do not admire a .town dump de-
spoiling a lovely valley. Hav-
ing beautified himself a bower,
the individual does not enjoy
., waking to find 'he is living next
to a supermarket. He deplores
the surrender of the most his-
toric building in the town to
private ownership. His reverie
down a tree-lined'street dies on
confrontation with some glaring
flood -lit notice board. Com-
posure is outraged by such
anomalies. Even the animal
kingdom frowns on fouling the
nest. So, we have zoning laws.
Why do we support museums;
why maintain archives, refer-
ence libraries and art galeries;
why parks and gardens and
roadside trees; wherefore stroke,
control and sewage treatment?
These are all forms of conserva-
tion which in their several ways
ntribute to our spiritual and
Nit ' Isla
verb says: He wi~io -looks not
back, loses his way. How shall
we plant for the future if we
have no reference datum?
Today population is increas-
ing and industry is encroaching
on tracts and areas in which our
civilization first established it-
self -and it is with the object �f
preserving some samples of
these that the Province of On-
tario has come to recognize the
necessity :.for what are called
Nature Reserves or Wilderness
Areas. ' In these days, a when
goreirnhiefiekv2liitiren.tteariWged
the old adage and merely find
it blessed to give so Tong ''as
they also receive, it is refresh-
ing to come upon an indication
that they are. also prepared .to
give some thought for the mor-
row. So far the general public
has failed to realize that these
Nature Reserves are essential
necessities for itself and for
posterity, so let us examine they,
subject further Because the
ignorance and indifference may
be due to lack of explanation.
A Nature Reserve is an area
as nearly as possible in its na-
tural state which is of value
from the point of view of pre-
serving natural conditions which
are in danger of disappearing
due to._ the inroads of urbaniz-
ation. These reserves' are neces-
sary for scientific and educa-
tional purposes. They are nec-
essary as sanctuaries for plant
and animal communities which
may disappear and finally, they
are needed for aesthetic rea-
sons. Scientifically they' become
outdoor laboratories where the
behaviour of different kinds of
land with the plant -animal popu-
lation living on them can be
studied undisturbed. Such
studies are a basic requirement
for any program of land man-
agement, be it agriculture,
farming, forestry or wild life.
The findings of such research
are important to every segment
of the human community, urban
the study of otir basic living•
resources, the failure of which
would destroy our whole way
of life. Reserves may ,.also be
set aside to preserve examples
of land forms such as moraines.
drumlins and outcrops of rock
types.
..'Next week we wilydiscuss the
remaining aspects: Education,
Sanctuaries and the aesthetic
value of'Nature Reserves.
