We have depiored this trend for same lime, and after seeing what man can do, in the Jefferson Memonial, we wonder mare than ever how aur civiliza- lion (so-calied) is content ta sit by and sece ugliness cneaîed in aur cilles and Iawns whene we migitt have beauty instead? Have we losI ail taste, ail knowledge of witat is beautiful? But thausands upon Ihousands recagnize beauty witen ltey sec il, in the Memonial for instance, sa titis cannaI be. At least lte subjecî is receiving same discussion by a gnaup o! archilecîs of international reputa- tion.

HOOPEiR'S LAD)IES' WEAR f'HONE: OSHAWA ZENITH 13000 ject, in the book review section of Toronto Saturday Night, writ- ten by Robertson Davies, editor of the Peterborough Examiner. "The Heart of the City" written by titis group discusses city build- ing, with an eye to beauty. And isn't it about time? As acre upon acre of new developments expose row on row of ugly, unimagina- tive buildings, we wander how long human beings can stand lt. Surely we are flot sa -dulled ta what is beautiful, or at least pleas- ing ta the eye, that we are cam- pletely indifferent. In his review af this and an- ather book cw architecture, Mr. Davies brings out the very point wbich we bave had in aur mind, ever mare deeply since seeing the Jefferson Memonial, and that is: that mankind is better for laok- ing at beauty. It elevates his mind, bis spirit and his soul. Il elevates hlm high above the level af thé animaIs, which is wbere be was created ta be. Il makes bim appre- ciate, and strive for betten things. Beauty in buildings, or any other thing, is not useless, therefore. It lies in man's power ta create beauty, ar ta create ugliness ar mediocrity. Why is it that we do flot more aften choose the first? THIS WON'T HURT YOU, OR PAINLESS HISTORY During the summer monlts a! Ibis Caronation year, the Museum 1in Toronto will have a mast in- Leresting display of furnilure and !unnisitings used in the firsî Eliza- beth's time. This exhibition will affer ane the oppartunity of com- paring the mode af life under Elizabeth I, with the convenien- ces enjoyed under Elizabeth Il. We have not seen Ibis exhibition yet, but are cetainly looking for- wand ta it. The Coronation af aur present Queen has anoused greal interest in Elizabethan times, and people who are nat ordinarily interested in histary are swallowing great gabs o! it as if it were honey, and asking for more, which tram any viewpoint is a gaod thîng. The Royal Ontario Museum was cer- tainly on ils toes in arranging Ibig exhibition at a lime when everyone's interest is keen. We hope they are making it known ta Amenican and ather taunists. There is na point in hid- ing these titings under a bushel. Titis Elizabetitan exhibition is just the sont o! Ihing that tounisîs lave, especially titose wbo came tram a country where they dlaim they wouidn't have a monarchy for lave or maney, but who lap up every word about ours. If titere are guided tours o! the City o! Toronta, which Heaven forbid, we hope this exhibition at the Museum is on the itinerary. When people came tai Toronto, titey want ta see sanelting be- side lte Royal York Hotel. Hotels are much the same the warld aven. TICKETS, PLEASE! And speaking o! giving tounists something ta sec, we were very pleased indeed ta see in Satur- day's Globe and Mail that ald Font York at Toronto bas at lasI been nestored and is open ta vis- itons. There are exhibits of old military equipment and also kit- chenware and ancient Ianterns. The Toronto Civic Historical Committee wha carried aut the restaration, bopes ta make te project self-supporting in lte nexî len years through admission charges. Titis should be quite possible. It has praved sa with similar projecls in lte United States. Titis Cammitîe bas done a fine lting in restaning ane of Canada's hitsonic sites, and in hav- ing il ready for lte 1953, Corona- lion year, tourist seasan. We close wiîh lte prayer, may others followtheir example.
